Chapter 26
Seeing that her mother’s face seemed to be in agreement, Tang Shiman continued, “And that bitch never thought of us again after he married. If it had been me who married in the first place, I would have served my mother well even if my husband’s family didn’t like it.”
Seeing her daughter say this, the woman was very pleased, pulling her daughter’s hand, looking at her delicate face, an idea gradually emerged in her heart. She patted her hand and said consolingly, “Don’t be in a hurry, my daughter was born so well, men are not too late to be fond of you and love.”
Tang Xiaobao, who didn’t know that his husband was being missed, was now discussing with Green Lotus to make some new supplements for Ji Ling, although his health is better now, the workload is also getting bigger and bigger. Looking at Ji Ling’s still not very strong body, Tang Xiaobao was afraid that one day he would collapse again.
“Green Lotus, what do you think I should do to send to Ji Ling?” Tang Xiaobao sat there, propping up his chin, inexplicably a little annoyed. The food that he usually eats has basically been made many times, and it’s a bit greasy to eat it again.
Green Lotus respectfully stood by the side, smiling at his young madam, warmly said: “Young madam cooking is so delicious, I think that is what the young master loves to eat.”
“But again, even though I like to eat it, I can not always continue to eat ah. If I ate more, it would not be so delicious.” Tang Xiaobao still felt very distressed, and even though it’s good and delicious,they still can’t eat it everyday. Although he is not a person to like the new, and hate the old [ fig. enamored with new people, bored with the old] but there is not always one flavour, it will also make him want to eat something else.
Green lotus standing there do not know what troubled Tang Xiaobao. Although Tang Xiaobao cooks, they are still not allowed to eat it, but if you guys smell that smell, you will know how fragrant it is. And look at the previous Gongzi who did not like to eat, now he can eat two bowls, then you know how delicious the cooking is. If she could eat these dishes every day, she wouldn’t get tired of them even if she ate them for a lifetime. But after seeing Tang Xiaobao’s distressed look, and thinking of how the Gongzi sometimes looked at her coldly, she still couldn’t help but suggest, “If the young madam is bothered by what the Gongzi wants to eat, why not just go and ask the Gongzi directly?”
After Green Lotus said that, Tang Xiaobao turned his head to look at her, just when Green Lotus wondered if she had said something wrong. Only to see Tang Xiaobao slapping the table and said happily, “That’s right ah, why didn’t I think of that, I’ll go ask Ji Ling what he wants to eat later.”
Seeing that Tang Xiaobao’s mood had changed for the better, Green Lotus also stepped aside. Just when Tang Xiaobao was about to pack up and go to Ji Ling, a maid came in, bowed respectfully and then handed Tang Xiaobao a letter.
Receiving the letter from the maid, Tang Xiaobao’s expression was a little puzzled, looking at the maid who came to deliver the letter, he asked curiously, “Where did the letter come from?”
“Reporting back to Young Madam, this letter came from the Tang Mansion, the housekeeper said he couldn’t make up his mind, so he sent me to deliver it to Madam to see.” After the maid finished speaking, she still hesitated for a moment, “The person who sent the letter also said that the young madam’s mother misses you very much, and has been sick lately, and hopes that you can go back to pay a visit.”
Hearing the maid mention the Tang Mansion, at first he didn’t react to it, then he immediately associated it with the original Tang Mansion, his hand trembling, almost dropping the letter in his hand.
After sending the maid away, Tang Xiaobao looked at the letter in his hand with very complicated eyes. He dared to bet that there is absolutely nothing good here. At first, they almost sold the original body, squeezed the last surplus value after the abandonment, if not because he came over, which also cured Ji Ling’s disease. He is afraid that now he is living on the street and no one will care. So after he came over, there is no more contact with the Tang family, anyway, they don’t like her so he also does not like them.
Staring at the hot potato (problem), Tang Xiaobao did not want to open, but the heart could not stop itching. Therefore, he looked at the letter until Ji Ling came back.
He looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was staring at the letter, and saw that he didn’t even notice when he came back. Looking towards the maid who had been following him, his eyes signalled.
Glancing at his own young madam and the young master who was staring at her, Green Lotus withstood the enormous pressure and moved towards Ji Ling’s side. The volume that the current Tang Xiaobao wouldn’t notice, suddenly clearly said, “Originally, the young madam wanted to ask the young master what he would like to eat for lunch, until someone sent this letter, it seems to be from the madam’s mother’s family, and she has already looked at it for a long time! .”
Hearing the words of the green lotus, Ji Ling thought for a moment to understand what the situation, looking at the hesitant Tang Xiaobao, ordered the subordinate to go to the kitchen to order the preparation of their lunch, and took a book to sit next to the side, looking at the Tang Xiaobao when he is going back to his senses.
Tang Xiaobao also do not know what good to be entangled about, he is not the original, at most can only be regarded as a stranger who inherited the memory of the original, but now looking at the letter, Tang Xiaobao’s chest has a kind of stuffy discomfort, do not know whether it is left behind feeling by original owner or he is sympathetic to the original owner.
After finishing reading the few remaining remnants of the letter, Ji Ling lifted his head to look at Tang Xiaobao who was still staring at the letter, silently stood up and took the letter from his eyes, then pulled out the paper inside.
“Ah, when did you come back?” Seeing that the person who moved his envelope was Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao exclaimed.
Seeing the surprised Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling quickly scanned the content of the letter, then looked towards Tang Xiaobao who had been looking at himself with bated breath, reached out and pressed his head to make him sit down, then handed the letter over, “Read it, if you want to read it.”
Tang Xiaobao who was held down felt like a silly monkey being pressed by the Five Fingers Mountain, looking at the paper handed over in front of his eyes, without even thinking, he reached out and took it, read the lines of text on it, and after reading it, the whole mood of the person was becoming bad.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Tang Xiaobao like a cabbage that had lost its moisture, Ji Ling faintly asked, and then sat down beside them.
Tang Xiaobao looked at him, his expression a little tangled, he didn’t quite understand. Looking at Ji Ling who had been staring at himself, Tang Xiaobao still summoned up the courage to speak his mind, “Obviously in the past they all hated me and wishing me to leave the Tang family earlier, now how could they think of me, and even let me go back?”
“Think about your current status.” Looking at Tang Xiaobao with a tangled face, Ji Ling decided to give him some hints.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling. His own identity? The unpopular little brother, the new husband of the Ji family. When he thought of this, he turned his head to look at the people around him and remembered that he had followed Ji Ling out to see some things, and the only thing that he could make use of around him was probably the fact that Ji Ling was his husband. He was sure that according to his stepmother’s character, she would definitely come for Ji Ling.
After thinking about this point, Tang Xiaobao’s eyes became a bit strange when he looked at Ji Ling. Then, thinking of the letter of those fleshy words, suddenly for the original owner is not worth it, after no value was discarded, wait until the stepmother to see that he is profitable on the body and then they are ready to climb up.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s pitiful expression, although he knew before that his own little husband at home was an unpopular little cabbage, it was because he always had such a silly smile, causing him to ignore this point. Now it seemed that this little husband of his still needed to be properly loved by himself.
“If you don’t want to go, just ignore it.” With regards to Tang Xiaobao’s entanglement, Ji Ling didn’t think that much about it. Around them are not thick people, see Tang Xiaobao’s appearance is not very missing or longing, in addition according to Ji Ling investigated things, Tang Xiaobao’s father’s death seems to be a bit strange.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling who didn’t seem to be joking, bit his lip and felt bad. After all, the letter stated that it was because his stepmother was sick, so he hoped that he and his husband would go back. In fact, it was fine for him, but he was just thinking that in this ancient time where information was not well developed, would his unfiliality affect Ji Ling’s reputation in this place. After all, from his understanding, it seems that filial piety was highly valued in ancient times.
Glancing at the indifferent Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao still asked after a bit of confusion, “Ji Ling, if I don’t go, and the news of my unfiliality spreads, will it affect you in any way?”
Ji Ling glanced at him and reached out to touch his head, “You should call me husband. She is not that capable of influencing me in the slightest, so if you don’t like it, I would not go. You are now the young Madam of the Ji family and you don’t have to be afraid of them.”
Feeling the strength on his head, Tang Xiaobao suddenly felt that he had found courage. That’s right, he had nothing to do with them anymore, so what was there to be afraid of? Moreover, he was still a man, he wouldn’t suffer any disadvantages, since the original owner didn’t get justice in the past, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to get it back even after he had a new backer. Thinking in this way, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling with glittering eyes, and said with full of fighting spirit: “I want to go back to see.”
Not knowing what Tang Xiaobao had figured out in an instant, it didn’t affect that Ji Ling supported Tang Xiaobao’s action. The corner of his mouth lifted up, and he stroked his head like a reward, “It’s okay, I’ll accompany you back.” Surely he will not let unrelated people bully you.
“Hn.” Hearing Ji Ling’s assurance, Tang Xiaobao nodded his head heavily, he knew that Ji Ling was the most reliable person.
Watching Tang Xiaobao’s mood improve, Ji Ling ordered the kitchen to start serving the food. When he saw a table of his favourite dishes, Tang Xiaobao reacted to the fact that he had forgotten to cook today, blushed for a moment, and then looked at Ji Ling’s eyes with some embarrassment. Originally it was himself who said that he would undertake the job of cooking Ji Ling’s food, but now he forgot because of an unimportant reason. It seems a bit wrong ah.
“Eat this, you like it, I specially asked the chef to learn it.” Ji Ling said, as he clipped a piece of sweet and sour fish for him. Seeing Tang Xiaobao take a small bite, eating with a satisfied look, he then gave himself a chopstick of green vegetables.
Since he said he would accompany Tang Xiaobao to go back to take a look, then Ji Ling would not go back on his word, so after the meal, he discussed with Feng Ling to change his schedule in the recent days, so as to spare some time to follow Tang Xiaobao back to take a look, and finally chose three days’ time. Tang Xiaobao was a bit embarrassed about this, because he knew that the festive season was approaching, so the shop would be even busier, and it was even more unlikely that Ji Ling would have a lot of free time.
