My Daughter Was My Sworn Enemy In Past Life

Chapter 27: Oldman Is Back! (1)

She looked at the piece of “cursed” steamed rice cake in her hand, and decided not to bite into it..

At Wang-shi’s place in the east courtyard, Wang sat on her knees on a futon, her eyes slightly closed, her mouth chanting, and praying to the statue of the Three Pure Ones with devotion, hoping that the gods would bless her son’s safe return.

“Old madam, Ma Butou has returned with Ting’er.” Mama Xia came in and whispered.

Wang-shi was stunned and couldn’t wait to ask: “What about Song Nian? Is Song Nian coming back too? ”

“The master did not come back with them, and what’s more, Ting’er’s body is full of injuries. I was outside and heard something as if…” recalling the words she heard outside the main house, Mama Xia had some trouble saying it.

“As if what?” Wang asked.

“As if the elder master wanted to coerce Ting’er to testify that Dong-shi was guilty of murder, but Ting’er refused, so the elder master pushed him off the carriage, and it was only thanks to the passing of Zengyuan General that Ting’er was able to be saved.” Mama Xia sighed and answered truthfully.

Wang-shi didn’t understand it at first, so she asked a little confusedly: “Why would Bai Nian threaten Ting’er to testify that Dong-shi was the murderer?”

Mama Xia sighed even harder: “Old madam, don’t you remember? Master was falsely accused of accepting bribes, covering up the real murderer, and making arbitrary judgments. Should Ting’er confirm that Dongi-sh is the culprit, wouldn’t that confirm the false accusations against the master?”

It dawned on Wang-shi, and then she said in disbelief, ” Are you saying that Bai Nian, Bai Nian he …… but, but why ah? They are blood brothers!”

Mama Xia whispered: “I’m afraid that while the master had always regarded him as a brother, Bai Nian had never regarded him as one.”

Wang-shi was greatly shocked and murmured: “Why? How can it be like this? Why did Bai Nian do this… ”

“To put it in a bad way, even if they are brothers from the same mother, there are many of those who do not share the same heart, not to mention the Eldest Master and the Master ……,” Mama Xia shook her head, and was not able to say it too bluntly.

Wang still had a hard time accepting it.

Since marrying into the Tang Family, she had treated the brothers Tang Bai Nian and Tang Zhang Nian as if they were her own children, and even though she later had her own flesh and blood child, Tang Songnian, she had never once ignored those two.

She asked herself whether she had done her duty as a proper mother, dealing with the three brothers equally, and even treating Tang Bai Nian, who had lost his mother since childhood, with more care, to the extent that she later incurred the discontent of her own son.

But now…

She drew the corners of her mouth bitterly.

Did she do something wrong?

In contrast to Wang’s suffering, Ruan-shi’s mother and son in the main courtyard were relieved, but after learning the cause of He Shaoting’s injuries, even Ruan-shi, who was always good-natured, turned red with anger.

Xu Yun Yoao pursed her lips, her eyes flickered.

As expected, she was not wrong. Tang Bai Nian of the first house had no good intentions. but she didn’t expect that the old man had such a brother, it was really a pity.

As she secretly observed He Shaoting, she naturally did not miss the hatred that he simply could not conceal on his face. Thinking that he was angry with Tang Bainian for forcing him to harm others, she found that when Ma Butuo mentioned the Zhengyuan General, the hatred in He Shaoting’s eyes deepened a bit more.

She thoughtfully squeezed the uneaten piece of white sugar cake in her hand, completely unaware that the white sugar cake was crushed to crumbs by her, and did not notice the distressed look in Zhou’ger’s eyes.

“I’m giving it back to you.” After a few moments, He Shaoting felt that the anger in his heart had calmed down, so he took out the longevity lock that he had been hiding in his arms and put it back on Xu Yunyao’s neck with his own hands.

Xu Yun Yao held the longevity lock and smiled sweetly at him with her face up.
