"Xiaoba, I'm with you here. If Mrs. Ruan has something to do, go ahead and do it!"
When Old Man Tang said this, he reached out and touched his little granddaughter, who was still sobbing and leaning on the edge of the bed, with a look of distress in his eyes.
Xiangtao looked at Xiaoba, then at Old Man Tang, nodded, turned and left.
After he couldn't see Xiang Tao anymore, Xiao Ba opened his eyes wide and looked at Old Man Tang on the bed, his voice filled with grievance: "Grandpa, Xiao Ba wants his aunt to be his mother!"
When Old Man Tang heard this, he was immediately startled. He stretched out his hand and gently covered her mouth, fearing that Xiang Tao might not have gone far and might hear her.
After he listened for a long time and saw that there was no movement outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoba, tell grandpa, why are you crying?"
Old Man Tang originally believed Xiangtao's words and thought that Xiaoba was reluctant to part with the white grains, so he kept crying.
But in the words that suddenly popped up from the little girl, he heard a different meaning.
Xiao Ba had calmed down now. When he heard Old Man Tang's words, his face was full of grievances and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Xiaoba doesn't want Auntie to leave!"
Old Man Tang knew who her aunt was.
Hearing this, he just looked at her in surprise.
Xiaoba felt that her aunt was leaving, and she was a lonely child without a mother to care for her. She immediately kicked off her cloth shoes without caring about anything, climbed onto the bed, and knelt down in front of Old Man Tang.
"Xiaoba just doesn't want Auntie to leave?"
Xiaoba nodded when he heard this: "Well, Xiaoba wants his aunt to be his mother, but he doesn't want his aunt to leave?"
Old Man Tang blinked and suddenly reacted: "Did Xiaoba talk to Auntie?"
"say what?"
Xiaoba was still young, and because he had cried a lot, his head was a little dizzy, so he couldn't follow what Old Man Tang said.
"It's about Xiaoba wanting his aunt to be his mother."
Xiaoba nodded when he heard the words: "I told you, Xiaoba hugged his aunt and said. Bad people, they are bad people, want Xiaoba to go home."
When Xiaoba said this, he felt aggrieved again, and his eyes quickly turned red.
Old Man Tang looked at Xiaoba blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This little girl was so bold that she actually asked Miss Bai to be her mother. Fortunately, she was young and the people in the Yan family didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't even dare to think about the consequences.
No wonder Mrs. Ruan would send people back so quickly, and she felt a little strange. It turned out to be because of this.
Miss Bai, that's not something people like them can imagine!
This silly girl, if people treat her better, she will retaliate and make them suffer in a home like theirs.
A dignified young lady, even if she is in her twenties, is not in a position to marry someone like them.
His Tang Ming family was outstanding in Tuofeng Town, but in the eyes of those wealthy families, he was nothing at all.
What's more, there are myself and Xiaoba holding us back...
Old Man Tang thought clearly, and he felt sorry for Tang Ming in his heart.
His son is good at everything, capable and filial, but his life is not very good, alas!
That night, when Tang Ming went home, he heard Old Man Tang talk about Xiaoba.
He then looked at Xiaoba and said, "Xiaoba wants a mother?"
Xiaoba thought it was Bai Guli who wanted to be her mother, and immediately nodded: "Yeah, I think so!"
Tang Ming thought for a while and said: "In a while, daddy will find a mother for Xiaoba. Then Xiaoba will have to obey his mother obediently, okay?"
Hearing this, Xiaoba blinked and nodded subconsciously. Suddenly he felt something was wrong and asked, "Is that mother's aunt?"
Tang Ming didn't react to Xiaoba's words, so he said directly: "Well, my mother is my aunt!"
Little Master Xiaoba seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, patted his little chest gently, and then took Tang Ming's hand: "That's good. Come on, daddy, let's go find aunt."
Now it was Tang Ming's turn to be a little confused. It was already dark, where should Xiaoba go?
Wait, could it be that she thought she was talking about Bai Guli, Miss Bai?
Thinking of this, Tang Ming couldn't help but confirm: "Where should Xiaoba go?" yyls
"Looking for it at my little brother's house, my aunt lives there."
Now Tang Ming has confirmed that the aunt in his Xiaoba's mouth is really Bai Guli.
The younger brother's mansion she was talking about was Princess Mo's son, the current prince Huai Jin. His mansion, wasn't it the Yan mansion?
In Yan Mansion, the only aunt who can be called Xiaoba is Bai Guli.
"Xiaoba, the mother dad is looking for is not Bai Guli."
Hearing this, Xiao Ba looked at Tang Ming, first blinked, then pursed his lips, and soon his eyes turned red, and tears began to drip down quickly.
Her crying made Tang Ming very anxious. He held her in his arms and coaxed: "Xiao Ba, don't cry. Don't cry. If Xiao Ba doesn't like it, daddy won't find her."
Xiaoba lay in Tang Ming's arms and cried for a long time. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Tang Ming with a slight choke in his eyes: "Dad, can't Auntie be Xiaoba's mother?"
Tang Ming shook his head firmly: "No! Your aunt has a distinguished status, and her father is not worthy of her, so Xiaoba should not say this in the future. Xiaoba is still young, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. He will understand when he grows up."
Xiaoba turned around with approval and buried his head in Tang Ming's arms again, his shoulders twitching from crying.
She knew that even if her father said she couldn't do it, it really meant she couldn't.
Thinking of this, the little one became more and more sad. She felt like she lost her mother again.
Xiaoba didn't know how long she cried, but when she was tired of crying, she closed her eyes and said, "Then Xiaoba doesn't want another mother, no, no..."
Seeing his daughter like this, Tang Ming felt very distressed.
He also wanted to give Xiaoba a home, a home where his father would love his mother. But he didn't dare to look for it, for fear of wronging the little guy.
Bai Guli is good at everything, even if she scolds him, in his opinion, she really feels sorry for Xiaoba, that's why she behaves like this.
But her identity was beyond what he could hope for.
When choosing a son-in-law, Sinong Bai did not pay attention to the right family, as long as he was a good citizen, but he also had to be innocent.
How can I dare to hope that I am a widower?
He had heard some things about the eldest lady of the White House. She has never been married, how could she be his step-mother?
That is undoubtedly a foolish dream!
It's just that I can't fulfill Xiaoba's wish, so I can only wrong her.
When she grows up, she will understand the difficulties of being a father.
Early the next morning, before dawn, there was movement at the door of Yan Mansion.
Xiangtao and Qingmu, as well as Chu Yi who came back last night, plus Biyun and Xiaoxi, all followed Luo Jiaochu out.
As far as they were concerned, Madam was going back to the capital today, and they, as servants, had to give her a ride.
Of course, the send-off here means that Xiangtao and Biyun sent them out of town, while Chuyi and Qingmu sent them to Pingxi City.
As for the way to the capital, they don't need to worry.
The people Luo Jiaochang brought before will also follow him back this time. There is no need to worry about safety on the road.
The group of people arrived at the city gate, and Tang Ming was already standing there.
When he saw Luo Jiaochun's carriage stopped, he just saluted through the curtain, then waved to the guards at the city gate and stepped aside.
He remained silent, firstly because he didn't want to curry favor with Luo Jiaochu, and secondly, he didn't want Bai Guli to know that he was here.
When the carriage left Tuofeng Town, Luo Jiaocheng glanced at Bai Guli, who had closed his eyes and was sleeping, and he could be said to have truly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that something might happen to the white grain, so she didn't dare to ask her to build a car by herself.
Now that she is out of Tuofeng Town, there is no Tang Ming or Xiao Ba, so she doesn't have to worry.
In fact, when she was at the city gate just now, when the carriage stopped, she had already noticed that Tang Ming might be standing outside.
To be honest, Tang Ming was self-aware, otherwise she would not have known how things would turn out.
She doesn't think about anything now, she just wants to send Bai Guli back to Bai Mansion safely before the end of the year.
For what happened next, she only had to tell Bai Mansion. The rest was whether Bai Guli would marry or not, and it had nothing to do with her.
At most, when Bai Guli gets married, as her aunt, she can give her more as a dowry.
Although Bai Guli had his eyes closed at this time and looked like he was asleep, he was not.
She felt a little complicated.
She wanted to marry Tang Ming, but that was just based on Xiaoba. She had been here for more than a month and had only seen Aoki twice.
Once is when I just arrived, and once is when I am leaving now.
He didn't know if she was really busy or if she was avoiding them on purpose. In short, she never met anyone.
In this month's time, she could really see how much Aoki and Xiang Tao were in love, and she really should give up completely.
The two of them even have a child. Every time Xiangtao talks about Aoki and the child, the happiness in her eyes makes people feel envious.
She knew that these were things she could not envy.
She thought that since happiness could hardly come, she might as well live a carefree life. If she didn't get married, she would be doomed to have no children.
If Tang Ming treats Xiaoba badly, he might as well give it to her.
No matter what, it would be better for her to be Bai Guli's daughter than to be Tang Ming's daughter, right?
He is a grown man, and he is destined to have a second marriage in the future. Instead of living in the hands of his stepmother, Xiaoba might as well leave it to her.
Unfortunately, Tang Ming did not agree and was thinking of finding a stepmother, so she became a little anxious. Even when Mrs. Shen said that she would marry Tang Ming, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
She could actually discuss with Tang Ming that she would marry him as his stepmother and take care of his inner house, but he could not force her to do anything, including intimate contact between husband and wife.
In this way, she can get married, her family will not push her, and she will have Xiaoba as their daughter.
And Tang Ming didn't have to worry about his daughter and father at home when he was in the Yamen.
It's just that she thought about everything well and wanted to stay and develop a relationship with Xiaoba, but she forgot her own identity, who brought her out, and whose territory this place belongs to.
If Aunt Jiaoxie hadn't woken her up, her grandparents would have rushed here and beaten her to death.
That's all, let's wait until after the New Year. If she comes over again then, if Tang Ming hasn't gotten married yet, maybe everything can go as she wishes!
