At a glance, Tang Che saw the little girl surrounded by a fire ring in the courtyard. At this moment, the fire had burned the fur on Tang Ying's body. Fortunately, the fur was wide and thick enough, but it had not burned Tang Ying yet.
Tang Che vaguely felt that this little girl was a little familiar, and his body's instinct was faster than his brain. He flew into the artificial lake in the courtyard, took off his cloak, wet it, put it on and rushed into the fire ring.
Throwing away the fur that was already on fire, he held the little girl in his arms and rushed out of the fire with his cloak on his head.
[I was so scared to death that I almost ended up doing it! 】
Tang Ying looked at the man holding her in his arms with tears in her eyes, her eyes facing each other - [Confirmed the eyes, it's the thigh! I want to hold my thighs tight! 】
Tang Che was startled when he heard the little girl's voice. Was it the little girl in his arms speaking?
But I didn’t see this little girl making a sound?
The little girl in his arms was severely malnourished and looked about the same size as a two-year-old child. At this moment, her little hands were clutching the lapel of his chest, like a frightened kitten.
Tang Che's expression was cold and he looked at Hu Ren with sharp eyes: "On New Year's Day, I asked a Taoist priest to set up an altar in the courtyard to perform the ritual, and even burned this little girl to death. The county master is so majestic."
[That’s right, you can even kill a little girl like me! thigh! Take the knife and wipe his neck quickly! 】
Hearing the little baby's milky voice again, Tang Che confirmed that he was not hallucinating, but could hear the heartbeat of the little girl in his arms. He looked at the poor little girl who was hanging on him by his hands and feet without changing his expression.
When he got closer, Hu Ren could clearly see the token hanging on Tang Che's waist. Although he had never seen it before, the dragon pattern on the token already indicated that the visitor must be a certain highness or prince in the palace.
After all, no ordinary official would dare to hang the royal token around his waist!
It didn’t say that any royal children were coming!
Wiping away the non-existent cold sweat, he tremblingly went up to greet him and saluted.
"I didn't know that your Excellency came from afar, and I was not welcomed by the official. I was dealing with housework in the house, but I bumped into you. I hope you can forgive me. This little girl was born to the official's concubine," Hu Ren said in an emotional voice. He was about to cry, "You don't know, sir, but this girl is as vicious and jealous as her biological mother. Yesterday, my wife caused a miscarriage and gave birth to a dead baby. She was also invaded by the spirit of the baby in the evening. That's why I asked Master Huang to save me who died in infancy." My son!"
【Pooh! I am a three-year-old baby and it is difficult to walk. How capable I am. I just ran into a private meeting between the mistress and the housekeeper in the house a few days ago, and then the resentful woman wanted to kill me! 】
Tang Ying tugged at Tang Che's clothes and shook her head at him: "Ying Bao did not harm the mistress. Ying Bao just bumped into the mistress talking to the housekeeper a few days ago..."
The voice sounded like a mosquito. At the end of the sentence, he looked at the housekeeper next to Hu Ren in fear and did not dare to say any more.
Tang Che looked at the pitiful little girl in his arms. Her little face was stained with black smoke from the fire, and her eyes were astonishingly bright.
If he hadn't heard her inner voice, he would have been deceived by this appearance.
"Sir, you see this little girl has learned to talk nonsense!" The butler who was involved quickly distanced himself from the relationship, "I have worked hard in the house these years, and I really don't dare to go beyond this! I hope you will learn from this!"
Hu Ren had a dark face and said nothing. Ever since his wife was pregnant, Butler Liu had done everything by himself. At first, he just thought that Butler Liu was reliable and meticulous in his work. After hearing what Tang Ying said, Hu Ren felt his head was green. , especially when there were outsiders present, his face was even more ashamed.
"County Master Hu's housework is quite messy, but no matter what, he shouldn't burn a three-year-old child alive!"
Tang Che's eyes were dark and unclear, "It has only been three years since the imperial court put down the rebellion and resolved the foreign troubles. You don't take human life seriously. Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children. You die of a son, but you want another girl to be buried with him. I don't know." There are still families that favor sons over daughters. If you are so anxious to have a son, your family must inherit the throne!"
【The thighs are so majestic! 】Tang Ying looked at the man in front of her with stars in her eyes, she was sure to hold on to this thigh!
As soon as these words came out, Hu Ren's legs went weak and he knelt down, and everyone in the courtyard knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious! Your subordinates don't dare!" Hu Ren shook his head like chaff and kowtowed repeatedly, "It's all my subordinates who were deceived by this Taoist priest's evil words. Come on! Put this man in jail quickly!"
Master Huang looked confused. He just came here to perform a religious ritual, but he just overcharged Butler Liu and asked him to blame the matter on that little girl. Why was he still in jail?
Seeing that the guards were about to take him away without any explanation, he became anxious!
"Spare your life, sir! I just took more money from Butler Liu to do something as ordered!"
Master Huang struggled to shake off the guard and pointed at Butler Liu, "It's him! It's him! He said that the county master wanted the little girl to be buried with him and couldn't find an excuse, so he asked me to say this!"
Butler Liu kicked Master Huang to the ground, "Fart, when did I ever say such a thing! Don't frame anyone!"
Tang Ying didn't mind watching the excitement in Tang Che's arms. Seeing the two fighting each other, she wanted to clap her hands and cheer.
Hu Ren looked at the ugly faces of the two men and waved his hand to the guards to take them away.
Tang Ying waved to the two of them with a look of gloating, "Bye bye, see you again." 】
Hearing the little pitiful voice, Tang Che almost stopped suppressing his lips: "You have just escaped from life-threatening danger, and you are still in the mood to mock others?"
"It's because I survived the catastrophe that I feel good!" Tang Ying looked at Tang Che's face and couldn't help but feel friendly, "Big brother saved me. He is the best person in the world. He will definitely make all his wishes come true! "
The corners of Tang Che's lips raised slightly, this little flatterer.
Just as he was about to say something, his eyes were attracted by the half piece of jade pendant exposed from the lapel of the little poor man's clothes. When he saw the lines on the jade pendant clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Isn't this the jade pendant unique to their royal family? !
"Poor little girl, where did the jade pendant in your arms come from?" Tang Che stared at Tang Ying with burning eyes, his tone was trembling, and a bold guess came to his mind. However, he has been disappointed again and again in the past three years. He wasn't sure, he was too afraid of the disappointment that would follow his hopes.
Tang Ying was stunned, took out the jade pendant in her arms, looked at it carefully, and recognized from the long memory that it was the jade pendant that her mother always wore around her neck. However, with her mother's death, the jade pendant also disappeared.
[Yingbao found it at the bottom of the pond. 】Little Yingbao in the sea of consciousness suddenly spoke up to clarify Tang Ying's confusion, [Big Yingbao, little Yingbao is still very tired, let's go back to sleep...]
Tang Ying's eyes turned red when she looked at the jade pendant, and she murmured, "This is mother-in-law Ying Bao's jade pendant."
Although there was only half a jade pendant, the moment Tang Ying took it out, Tang Che was sure that it was the jade pendant of his imperial sister Tang Qingzhu!
"Mother?" Hope suddenly rose in Tang Che's heart, and he held Tang Ying's arm tightly, "Where is your mother now? How has she lived in the past four years? Has she been wronged? Take me to see her quickly. she!"
"You scratched Ying Bao so much." Tang Ying's eyes burst into tears. As soon as her mouth shrank, the tears fell down and dripped on the back of Tang Che's hand. "Mother didn't want Ying Bao a year ago."
[Why do these thighs come up? I asked three times. Is it possible that I know my mother? But my mother was killed by my mistress a long time ago...]
Tang Che heard Tang Ying's heartfelt voice, and the hope that had just emerged was now more shattered than any disappointment in the past three years.
died? how come? The imperial sister who bullied him every day in his impression...is dead?
The last memory she had of her was that four years ago, the traitors invaded the palace. After escaping from the secret passage, she was chased by the pursuers. The imperial sister did not hesitate to divert the pursuers away just to protect him.
Tang Ying looked at her big brother who had lost the golden beans with her, and for a moment she didn't know whether to hug him and cry with him or to wipe his tears.
"How come big brother still imitates Yingbao and loses golden beans?"
After wiping away the tears on his face with cold hands, Tang Che came to his senses belatedly and looked at the person in his arms with complex eyes.
"Maybe you should call me uncle."
[Little uncle? Is it my mother’s family who came to find her? ! But my mother's memory is lacking. How can this person be sure that he has found the right person when he only saw half of a jade pendant? Don't end up with disappointed hopes and empty joy. 】
Tang Ying remembered that when her mother was alive, she looked at the jade pendant every day. Although her mother didn't say it, she could tell that her mother had been looking forward to her family finding her.
"Although there is only half of this jade pendant left, it is unique in the world."
Tang Che took out his own jade pendant from his arms, "When the royal heir is full moon, the father will give him a jade pendant that symbolizes the royal blood. You see, the lines of these two jade pendants are the same."
Tang Ying took the jade pendant and couldn't help but read out when she saw the words on the jade pendant: "Che."
"Yes, the words on the jade pendant are the names given. Sister Huang...that is, your mother's jade pendant is engraved with the word bamboo." Tang Che rubbed the jade pendant belonging to Tang Qingzhu with a look of sadness on his face.
Hu Ren, who was standing aside, naturally heard this conversation between the adults and the children. The amount of information was too large and he couldn't accept it for a while. He was sweating profusely at the moment.
He never expected that the person coming was actually the prince!
I never expected that what I picked up on the street a few years ago was the princess of the current dynasty!
Ever since Tang Qingzhu gave birth to Ying Bao, he had almost ignored them. Hu Ren knew very well how his wife treated them.
Fortunately, it has been more than a year since Tang Qingzhu died, and Ying Bao is still young, so he must not be able to remember many things. After all, he is also Ying Bao's father. When the time comes, he will get rid of the matter of being buried with him, and he will have all the glory and wealth at his fingertips. !
After all, he has been sitting firmly in the position of county leader for decades, and his mind is spinning very fast.
"Ying Bao! I'm sorry for you. It was because I was confused after losing my beloved son that I believed the Taoist priest's lies!"
Hu Renxin slapped himself hard, "Dad knows that he was wrong. Ying Bao, just forgive him this time. Daddy swears that he will never do anything to you again!"
[Hey, this Lao Deng is also a ruthless person, capable of bending and stretching. It is no wonder that he has been able to sit in the position of county leader for decades. He has stolen taxes for ten years and has not been caught once by the superiors. He must have fallen into the lap of someone in the court! 】
Tang Ying took a sneak peek at her uncle who looked unkind, and suddenly realized, "The bad thing is for my thigh!" This old cunning guy wants to steal my thigh! 】
Tang Che was still immersed in grief. Hearing Ying Bao's heartfelt voice made him dumbfounded, but it relieved the pain in his heart.
