My Daughter Was My Sworn Enemy In Past Life

Chapter 27: Oldman Is Back (3) 

As for Du Chengzhong, Xu Yun Yao naturally knew a lot about it. The most interesting thing about this Zhengyuan general was not his inspirational legendary history of turning from a regular laborer into a founding general, but his deep love for his wife, Yun-shi, which made many young girls in the harem yearn for him and envy the general’s wife who could have such a loving husband.

Yunshi was originally the daughter of an official family of the former dynasty, and Du Chengzhong was a laborer in a farmhouse of the Yun family, who occasionally met the Yun family’s daughter, and fell in love at first sight, and even took the trouble to ask for her hand in marriage.

Naturally, it was impossible for her parents to agree to marry their precious daughter to such a lowly servant, and about a year later, Yun was married by her parents to the official son of the proper family, while the insolent servant surnamed Du quit his job after she was engaged to marry him.

If the two of them thus separate from each other for good, it would not be much of a ‘good story’. But then war broke out, the former emperor was killed by his ministers, the government was overturned, a new dynasty was established, and the original servant became the general who became an important part of the country, while the original young lady became a young widow with no one to rely on, with a young son struggling to survive.

By chance, the two met again on the street. Du Chengzhong, who had officially become General Zhenyuan, was still blind with love, and drove away the concubine in the mansion. Through three negotiators and the sending of the six kinds of bridal gifts, he earnestly married Yun, and also regarded Yun’s son with his ex-husband as his own.

And Yun-shi, naturally, had become the object of envy and jealousy of many women. After all, she was a widow with her ex-husband’s son, but she was able to marry into a high ranking family, and became a proper general’s wife, and was treated with her husband’s undivided attention, such a blessing, which woman in the world would not envy?

Xu Yun Yao also heard that General Zhengyuan used all his fortune to marry Yun that year. Everyone knew that the Ten-Mile Red Dowry of Yun’s wedding was bought by General Zhengyuan, but what about it? It could only show that General Zhenyuan really put this new madam in his heart.

Ruan-shi was worried about her husband’s problem, but she could only treat others with a smile and pretended to be indifferent, waiting anxiously for her husband’s return.

Meanwhile, there were also many supporters of the crown prince who were waiting, such as magistrate Wu.

At this moment, he looked at Tang Song Nian who was flustered with a pleased expression, and said leisurely: “I’m afraid that your lord Ji is already on the road to exile at this moment. Of course, it is unknown whether he can reach the place of exile safely. Tang Song Nian, You do have some ability, but you are too ignorant to appreciate kindness. However, I don’t want your life. I will continue to let you be your county magistrate in Anping County.”

He certainly wasn’t a fool, if he wanted to have a good political performance, he had to keep some capable people in his hands. Otherwise, those people could only bootlick him into high heaven but would never have any achievements. If the dog was gone, it could be raised again, but if it were the officer, it would be very difficult to get one. Without good political achievements, it was not very beneficial for him to climb forward in the future.

People like Tang Songnian, who didn’t obey orders but had the ability. Wasn’t it better to hold onto him tightly, and take the credit for himself?

“However, it seems that your good brother Tang Bainian doesn’t think so. He came to my office in person and said that he had a way to put you in charge of covering up the real murderer.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a ruthless character.”

Tang Song Nian ignored him and tidied up his messy hair.

Magistrate Wu also didn’t care, and said mysteriously: “Tang Song Nian, in fact, it’s not only Ji Yuan, even Prince Rui does not have many days left, when I gave you a lesson, the crown prince will already have made a movement towards Prince Rui. Counting the time, the good news of the crown prince’s enthronement should come in these few days.”

Tang SongNian’s heart tightened, but still didn’t say anything.

At this moment, someone hastily walked in: “My lord, this is bad, there is news from the capital, the crown prince has died, and his majesty has named Prince Rui as the new Crown Prince.”

Magistrate Wu was shocked: “How can it be?”

As soon as the words fell, he heard Tang Song Nian’s chuckle: “It seems that this time, Your Excellency has been disappointed! His Highness Prince Rui’s good fortune has its own destiny, instead, His Highness the Crown Prince ……”

Tang Song Nian leaned on the wall and barely stood up. Although he was in a mess, his eyes were shining and his eyes were sharp.

“Winner-take-all, Lord Wu, if i were you, at this moment, the most important thing to do is to find a way to clean yourself up immediately.”

Magistrate Wu pointed at him, his fingers trembling constantly, but he didn’t say much, turned around and left in a hurry.

When the news that the Crown Prince failed to assassinate Prince Rui and died under the arrows of his subordinates, Emperor Jianzhong issued a decree to denounce the dead Crown Prince for his wolfish ambition, and appointed Prince Rui as the new Crown Prince, while he himself retired to Ning Yang Palace to recuperate from his illness, and asked the new Crown Prince to act as the regent to act on government affairs. When the news reached Xu Yun Yao’s ears, she was cuddling in He Shaoting’s arms with a pure and innocent smile on her face.

Sure enough, everything was like her past life, Emperor Taizong really was exceptionally vigorous, the next step should be the news of the first Emperor giving up the throne and the new emperor ascending the throne.

And the old man, Tang Song Nian, would soon have a successful official career.

Well, it was really unpleasant news…

She blinked her round eyes, being led by He Shaoting behind Ruan-shi and Wang-shi, they went to greet that person who was in a difficult position but had a happy expression.

Tang Song Nian let go the hands that were holding Chen Ming and Ma Butuo, then smiled towards his birth mother and wife who were rushing to greet him: “Mother, madam, I’m back.”

Xu Yun Yao looked at the mother and daughter-in-law in front of her who were crying and smiling, and then looked at her brother who was hugging Tang Song Nian’s thigh and rubbing them straight, then yawned with some boredom.

I really am not suited to watch a reunion drama…

“Baobao, come here.” When she heard someone calling her, she raised her eyes and saw Tang Song Nian waving to her with a smile.

“Go.” Before she moved, He Shaoting gave her a light push.

She subconsciously walked forward a few steps, suddenly her body was in the air, her whole body was raised high, scared her to scream, but her ear was ringing with a man’s hearty laughter.

Damn old man, he scared me as soon as he came back!
