Mrs. Liu in the outer courtyard received the news and hurriedly reported the news to Mrs. Lu in the inner courtyard.
Fang's mother received the notice and hurriedly reported: "Madam, the third young master is back."
Sitting in front of the bed, Mrs. Tang Lu Ruying, who was already planning to take a rest, just paused and asked, "Why did that sick man come back so quickly?"
Fang's mother really didn't know, "Madam, the third young master has just entered the courtyard. I go and inquire about it."
Mrs. Tang nodded, "You don't have to go there yourself, just send a clever girl there."
"Yes!" Fang's mother lowered her head and said yes.
Mrs. Tang was angry when she thought of Tang Zhiling. She had been sick for so long, why didn't she just die outside?
Mrs. Tang secretly hated it in her heart.
On Tang Zhiling's side, he got off the carriage directly and returned to Qingfengxuan in the west courtyard, which was his residence.
The Tang family is the residence of the Duke of the country, and the house was also rewarded by the emperor.
In the main courtyard lived Mrs. Tang from the Tang Mansion, who was also the aunt of Tang Guogong.
Mrs. Tang only had one living daughter, Tang Rong, who was married to Prince Jing as a concubine.
Apart from Tang Guogong, the only male masters in the Duke's Mansion are the four young masters of the Tang family. Tang Zhiling is the third son of Tang Guogong's concubine.
Tang Zhixuan and Tang Zhiyi were both legitimate children and the biological sons of the Lu family.
Tang Zhiling and Tang Zhijin were both concubines. Not only that, Tang Zhiling was also the child brought back by Duke Tang from outside. The identity of the mother was unknown and she was the illegitimate son of Duke Tang.
Therefore, Mrs. Tang despised Tang Zhiling the most. Even the fourth young master Tang Zhijin was paid better than him.
However, Tang Guogong valued Tang Zhiling very much, which made Mrs. Tang very concerned.
Fortunately, Tang Zhiling's health had been poor since childhood and could not shake the status of the eldest son Tang Zhixuan. It was also the same that Mrs. Tang did not get rid of Tang Zhiling and let him live until now.
Today, Tang Zhiling happens to be 18 years old.
Fortunately, as Tang Zhiling grew older, there were not many areas that Mrs. Tang could control. There was no other way except to manipulate him in his marriage.
When everyone entered Qingfengxuan, Aunt Fang started to move.
"Sir, you must be hungry. I will go to the big kitchen and bring you some food."
Tang Zhiling nodded, "Okay, Aunt Fang is here to help."
Ping An had already prepared hot water at this time, "Sir, the hot water is ready."
Tang Zhiling loves cleanliness very much. He has been on the road these days and has no conditions for frequent cleaning. He has reached the limit of his endurance.
Tang Zhiling nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!"
He walked into the room and took off his clothes, revealing his muscular body.
Tang Zhiling walked into the bathtub with steady steps and sat down slowly. At this time, he no longer looked as sickly as he had during the day.
Closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered the woman and the little baby he met a few days ago.
Thinking of those familiar eyes, I tried to recall where I had seen her before.
He pressed his temple gently, feeling a hint of pain.
Hey, I don’t know when the headache will go away, and I don’t know when I will be able to recall the lost memory of the half year.
At this time, Ping An reported: "Sir, the Duke of the country is here."
Tang Zhiling immediately sat up and started to get out of the tub.
After putting on his inner clothes, he put on a outer robe and walked out.
Seeing Tang Guogong already sitting on a chair drinking tea, he said, "Father, you are here."
After Tang Zhiling said hello, he coughed slightly and returned to his sickly appearance.
"Lao San, you have been out for a long time this time. Where have you been?" Tang Guogong asked casually.
"Father, I also heard that there is a powerful doctor over there in Wuyi Mountain, so I wanted to go there and have a look, hoping to cure my son's disease."
"What's the result?" Tang Guogong asked.
Tang Zhiling shook his head helplessly, "There is still no way, and the doctor is also at his wits' end. Ahem, I think my illness will not be cured."
Tang Zhiling coughed at the right time.
When Tang Guogong saw Tang Zhiling like this, his expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be relieved.
This subtle change was still captured by Tang Zhiling.
"If you are not in good health, don't run out all the time. If you go out again in the future, you must take Xin'an with you. I can rest assured that he will take care of you."
Tang Zhiling nodded, "Yes, father."
After Tang Guogong saw the people, he left Qingfengxuan directly.
At this time, Aunt Fang dared to come out and said, "Sir, I've brought you some chicken soup. You can drink it while it's hot. There are also some pastries. The people in the big kitchen have already taken a break, so..."
Aunt Fang's voice became softer and softer, and she could no longer speak.
Tang Zhiling said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll just drink some soup. I can't eat anything else."
Xin'an immediately came over and said, "Third Young Master, I will serve you some soup."
Tang Zhiling shook his head, "No, it's getting late, you all can go down."
Ping An glared at Xin'an, this old boy knew how to complain.
Then he grabbed Xin'an who was unwilling to leave and retreated.
After Aunt Fang closed the door, the person left.
Tang Zhiling sat alone in front of the window, feeling a little heavy when she returned to this cage again.
Thinking that this time it was still in vain, Tang Zhiling felt helpless. It seemed that he could only look for opportunities.
The next day, Shen Fei woke up early.
They could arrive in Chang'an City, Kyoto today, so the families all got up earlier and felt more anxious.
They still have about ten miles to go.
Sun Bin came to Mrs. Dou and said, "Mom, that girl is a bit evil. She took so much poison and nothing happened."
Mrs. Dou also had doubts, and it was impossible for all the poisons to expire at the same time.
"Forget it, don't worry about that girl for now, we'd better go to Beijing first and don't cause any complications."
Sun Bin nodded. He didn't dare to face his niece now. He ate the poisoned food and had no reaction at all. Even the little one sucking the milk was fine and still alive.
And in the past few days, he also discovered a strange phenomenon. The boy seemed to be stupid.
Logically speaking, babies should cry no matter what.
But apart from crying a few times when he was born, this kid stopped crying later on.
No matter how his unreliable niece treated him, he had no reaction at all.
Sun Bin smiled again when he thought of this. He really didn't have any reaction at all.
That niece seems to be even more stupid. She used to be a very nimble little girl and was quick at work. When she was in the Northland, she was really a good worker.
Now I can't do anything. I only eat and sleep all day long.
It would be great if this person was stupid, so he wouldn't talk nonsense.
When Sun Bin thought of this, he told Mrs. Dou his guess.
"Mother, I think that girl must have taken too much poison, and she is a little stupid."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Sun Bin nodded, "Mom, you will know if you observe her, she is completely different from the past. After all, we have several kinds of poisons."
