Chapter 19: This Oldman Is Two-Faced! (1)

Although she disliked Li-shi’s scolding, Ruan-shi was still worried about Xing’ger and Yao’ger, these two brothers. To ease her worries, she sent Bi Wen to ask around how the two brothers were doing.

After all, even adults would be afraid of seeing a bloody dead snake. The two children were even smashed by it, so they might be scared to death!

When Tang Song Nian heard this, he sneered. “When they found the snake and used it to frighten others, why didn’t they think about others? As the saying goes, God can forgive the sins against Him, but not against others. Men have to bear their actions. They brought this on themselves!”

His daughter was much younger than the boys. If not for his little girl’s feisty and bold personality, it would be his baby girl who was scared out of her wits at this moment.

Ruan-shi choked on her words and said nervously, “In the end, we are a family. No matter what, if there is something wrong with the two brothers, neither of us will be able to feel at peace, right?”

Tang Song Nian snorted coldly. Naturally, knowing her soft-heartedness, he went along with her.

Watching Bi Wen go away, Ruan-shi once again stared at her daughter, whose eyes were shining brightly and had little dimples on her cheeks. Obviously, her daughter was in a good mood. She heaved a long sigh and said in a worrisome manner, “How can this child be so bold?”

“It’s better to be bold!” Tang Song Nian refuted disapprovingly. Seeing the little pear vortex on his daughter’s face come out, he quickly reached out and poked her with his finger. It elicited a furious glare from his little girl.

Although it was good to be bold, he still had to teach the little girl to differentiate what she should avoid.

“But she dares to strike people with that scary thing. This is not good. When she marries a man in the future, wouldn’t the husband be kept under her control?” Ruan-shi was still worried.

“So what? Being able to keep him under a tight leash is her ability. She can also lead a comfortable life in the future, which is even better,” Tang Song Nian said indifferently.

After hearing this, Xu Yun Yao wanted to laugh and scratch his old face.

In her previous life, the old man always scolded her for interfering in government affairs and trying to control the emperor. He considered her an absolute disaster. Now, when it came to his daughter, he made controlling the husband a good thing.

Oh, this damn old man is really two-faced!

In the first courtyard, Tang Bai Nian was scolding Li-shi, who was wiping her tears. He said, “What are you crying for? Two half-grown boys can’t even hold back a little girl of less than two years old. Instead, they were beaten up. You are not embarrassed; I feel embarrassed!”

“You have not seen the snake’s skin and flesh all over the place. Master, even I was frightened when I saw it, not to mention those children. How can they not be afraid?” Li-shi defended her sons.

“Afraid? They are the ones who found it. The little girl was not afraid of it, though. She even held it in her hand and used it as a rope. They were scared just like that? What a disgrace to me!” Tang Bai Nian’s face became a bit more ugly.

Li-shi was speechless. It took a while before she said resentfully, “That girl is not normal. I don’t know how the husband and wife in the third courtyard raised such a strange girl.”

“Great! What’s the point of talking about this? If you too have the ability to raise Xiao Yu into a strange girl like her, I’ll also think highly of you!” Tang Bo Nian was getting impatient.

When Li-shi heard his words, she hugged her daughter at once. “What’s wrong with Xiao Yu?”

“Did I ever say she was not good? Don’t spout nonsense. This good meal will be ruined by you!” Tang Bai Nian became even more impatient. He looked at the slightly red slap marks on Li-shi’s face and frowned. His tone softened a bit.

“As for Ruan-shi, you have to bear with me for a while. Not much later, Tang Song Nian won’t be able to keep his official post. The Prefect has tipped me off that after Tang Song Nian’s collapse, his current official position will be mine.”

Li-shi was taken aback. She then became overjoyed. “Is that true?”

“If I was not sure, why would I say this? Tang Song Nian does not put the governor in his eyes at all. He has repeatedly refused the governor’s good intentions. The higher-ups have been very angry with him. Since he has offended the governor time and again, his next year’s assessment would be poor. I’m afraid he might not even pass,” Tang Bai Nian lowered his voice and said.

Li-shi’s heart then felt much better.

She would like to see how long Ruan Ru could still be proud and arrogant!

When thinking that one day in the near future, Ruan-shi, who had always been fond of posing as an official lady, would no longer be able to remain high and mighty, she felt comfortable in her heart.

That night, Tang Song Nian’s family stayed in the old house. They planned to have breakfast the next day and then go back to Anping County. After all, as a county magistrate, even though Tang Song Nian had made arrangements, it was not appropriate to leave for too long.

Late at night, the moon was half hidden in the clouds. The moonlight spilled into the house, reflecting the little girl who was sound asleep on her crib.

The little girl’s mouth was slightly open, and her face was puffy because of sleeping. Suddenly, a gust of cool breeze came through the doorway, blowing back and forth around the crib.

When the sleeping Xu Yun Yao turned over, the wind stopped. After a small interval, it blew back and forth around her again.

Xu Yun Yao smacked her small lips. She felt like someone was tugging at her clothes slightly. A strange voice seemed to be calling her, “Wake up…”

She slapped away in her dream, then rolled over and continued sleeping.

Waking up the next day, she had forgotten all about the trolling last night.
