Tang Ju was quite surprised by this.
In his impression, didn't this unfilial daughter... really like her brother-in-law?
I remember that a long time ago, Tang Shujing protected Su Xian several times.
Although those times were not given by Tang Ju but requested by his eldest daughter Tang Shuwan, he clearly remembered that this unfilial daughter was very happy every time.
And it’s something you can’t even ask for.
But why this time... when he came to ask for protection of Su Xian, this unfilial daughter reacted with such resistance?
Tang Ju's face suddenly sank when he thought of this.
He was seen sitting upright in a big chair with a big golden sword, looking at Tang Shujing and asking: "I am your father, and you go when your sister asks you to go. Are you bothered by it if I ask you to go?"
"I just came back from my sister, and she asked me to protect him, but I didn't agree." Tang Shujing replied, her fair face full of resistance.
Tang Ju felt relieved when he heard this. It seemed that this unfilial daughter was not targeting him.
Turning his head and looking around, he saw that the doors and windows of the duty room were closed, and that they were the only two people in the room. Tang Ju paused, with a hint of mystery on his face, and looked at his unfilial daughter and said:
"Jing'er, as a father, I have something to tell you."
"Father, tell me, as long as you don't force me to protect that person."
"This matter is very important. You must first swear an oath not to reveal to anyone what my father said today." The mysterious look on Tang Ju's face gradually became stronger.
Tang Shujing suddenly became interested, looked her father up and down, pursed her lips and smiled: "Dad, you don't...really want to borrow money from me, do you?"
Tang Ju originally had a mysterious and solemn face, but after hearing the words of the unfilial daughter, his body tilted and he almost fell off the chair.
After calming down, he regained his mysterious and solemn look, glared at the unfilial daughter and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father is now the governor of Henan Prefecture, so why do you need to worry about pocket money?"
"It's not for borrowing money, so what are you going to say? Do you want me to swear?" A trace of doubt appeared on Tang Shujing's fair face.
"Don't ask so many questions. This matter is of great importance. It is related to the safety of the court and your sister. It is too important... Be obedient. You must make an oath first."
"All right."
Tang Shujing pursed her lips, raised her fingers to the sky, and said loudly with a solemn expression:
"I, Tang Shujing, swear to God, if I leak the content of today's conversation with my father, I will..."
Tang Ju was very satisfied with this, especially the solemn look on the unfilial daughter's face, which made him feel that he had received enough respect.
From this point of view, this unfilial daughter has finally grown up and become more sensible. Although she is usually a little careless, she is still reliable at critical moments.
Tang Ju twirled the goat's beard under his chin with one hand, looking satisfied.
"If I leak the content of today's conversation with dad, I will...I will..." Tang Shujing said this, her bright eyes suddenly turned, and she continued:
"I just...I get more and more beautiful!"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Tang Ju was still immersed in the beautiful fantasy that "the unfilial daughter has finally grown up", so he casually said "not bad".
But the next moment, he twirled his beard for a moment, and the look of satisfaction on his face instantly solidified. Full of surprise and dissatisfaction, he glared at the unfilial daughter and said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Hahahahaha..."
When Tang Shujing saw her father's reaction, she smiled happily and bent over.
Tang Ju's nose was so angry that he stood up suddenly, grabbed the tea cup on the small table next to the chair, used it as a weapon, and threw it directly at the unfilial daughter:
"I told you to laugh! I have something serious to say and I'm not joking. Why don't you shut up and swear a good oath?!"
"I understand, Dad, don't be angry."
Tang Shujing was so happy that she moved her lotus feet to the side and easily avoided the "hidden weapon" thrown by her father.
Naturally, the tea cup failed to hit the target, and the spilled tea, tea leaves, etc., drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and finally hit the ground with a "bang" and shattered.
After being happy for a while, Tang Shujing saw that her father seemed to be really angry. She knew that the joke just now was too big, so she quickly corrected her attitude and raised her finger to the sky again:
"I, Tang Shujing, hereby swear to God, if I reveal the contents of today's conversation with my father, I will... be struck by lightning from the sky and turn into a big painted face!"
After swearing the oath, Tang Shujing put down her raised hand and looked at her father: "It's okay now, I'm making a poisonous oath!"
Tang Ju gradually lost his temper and sat back on the chair, but his face was still calm and his tone was a little harsh: "You unfilial daughter, wouldn't it be better if you had been like this earlier?"
"Dad, please tell me, what is so important? It concerns both the court and my sister?" Tang Shujing's curiosity had already been aroused.
When Tang Ju saw this, the last trace of anger in his heart dissipated.
He paused, his expression gradually became serious, he looked at the unfilial daughter and said in a deep voice:
"Your brother-in-law went to Haizhou, Henan Province not just to supervise the construction of sea-going ships and improve shipbuilding techniques, but to... go to sea by ship!"
"Going to sea?"
Tang Shujing was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Although she has never been to the sea, she has also been on a boat.
Taking a boat is risky. Risks such as strong winds, big waves, and reefs are always present. Once encountered, the boat may capsize and fall into the water, becoming a drowned rat. If the boat is carrying cargo, the cargo will not be protected.
More importantly...the ship was destroyed and everyone died!
Moreover, this is just a small boat traveling on the river. If it is on the sea...
She had heard that the weather overseas was unpredictable. One moment it was clear skies, and the next moment there might be heavy rain, maybe accompanied by strong winds.
Once you fall into the water, you may not just become a drowned rat.
In all likelihood, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed!
"Why? Why does my brother-in-law want to go to sea? It's so dangerous overseas, why would he take this risk?"
Tang Shujing immediately put aside her thoughts of joking and took a small step closer to Tang Ju. Her bright eyes were fixed on her father, with a look of suspicion and worry on her face.
If she hadn't taken into account that Tang Ju was her biological father, she would have grabbed Tang Ju's shoulders and shook him violently, insisting on questioning him thoroughly.
In desperation, she blurted out the word "brother-in-law."
For such a long time, especially after learning the meaning of "meat compensation" from Tang Shuwan, she had never seen Su Xian again, and she had never said the word "brother-in-law" again.
Su Xian is always referred to as "he" or "that person".
But at this moment, when she learned that Su Xian was going to go overseas to take risks, she was so suspicious and worried that she couldn't care less and subconsciously said the word "brother-in-law".
When Tang Ju saw the unfilial daughter's reaction, he felt certain in his heart. It seemed that the unfilial daughter still liked her brother-in-law. As soon as he heard that the virtuous son-in-law was going to sea, he became worried.
That's fine, he can think of a way to convince this unfilial daughter to protect her brother-in-law.
However, after thinking about it, Tang Ju felt uncomfortable again——
This unfilial daughter is so kind to her brother-in-law, but last time I heard that the old man was sick, why wasn't she as worried as she is now?
Could it be that I am not as good as a virtuous son-in-law?
When he thought of this, Tang Ju felt like slapping this unfilial daughter.
