Text Chapter 249 Bullying back
As Tang Xiang's last sentence fell, there was a long silence in the front hall, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke.
Su Li looked at Tang Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground and expressing his true feelings, and his eyes flashed with deep thought.
Tang Lei was not favored by Tang Xiang at all, otherwise how could he develop such a cowardly character, he lived in the Ling Mansion for several months, and no one cared about the Tang Mansion at all.
But in such a situation, Tang Xiang would not lie.
What Su Li thought, Ling Li and Ling Qinglan could naturally think of, the two of them exchanged for a while, and Ling Qinglan stood up at the right time and asked:
"Mr. Tang keeps saying that he loves his eldest grandson, but this sect does not need to investigate to know that your eldest grandson has not been favored since he was a child, and even left to fend for himself outside, only the second son has been carefully cultivated and is regarded as the future heir of the Tang family, doesn't Mr. Tang feel inconsistent?"
"Hehe......"
Tang Xiang let out a wry smile, and was not surprised to ask, "Lord Qinghu said this, but the old man was relieved, since even your sect didn't see the clues, then the royal family shouldn't have found out, the old man worked hard and ruthlessly to leave Lei'er out of sight, I just hope that he can continue to live after the old man dies." β
"I would venture to ask, is the old gentleman's wife still there?"
Su Li suddenly spoke, although it was a falsetto, the tone was still pleasant, making Tang Xiang subconsciously imagine the face of a beautiful woman in his mind.
"The sect leader's wife is so polite, it really flatters the old man."
seems to explain everything, Tang Xiang's heart knot opened, and no matter what he said at the moment, he seemed calm,
"The sect leader's wife guessed well, the old man's wife and daughter-in-law have been in poor health year by year since that year, and finally died one after another. Shortly thereafter, Dongfang Xiao sent several successors, although I had some speculation at that time, but I didn't dare to think deeply, and I thought to myself that I had already succumbed once, and what if I was weak again? β
Later, Tang Ping was born. Since then, Lei'er's situation has become more and more bad, and the old man can't take him with him all the time, so he can only weaken his attention to him and let him live. β
A hint of ridicule appeared on Su Li's lips, "The old gentleman's idea is really naΓ―ve...... Do you think that if you take a step back, Dongfang Xiao will give you more vitality for the Tang family? β
Tang Xiang's heart was shaken, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What are these words...... Why? β
"How clear is the meaning of this lady? Why should Tang Xiang deceive himself. β
Ling Li stared at Ling Li's side face, there was only gentleness and pampering in his eyes, but his tone was cold and hard, "Your Tang family's backyard has been eaten away by Dongfang Xiao, although there are still a few of your sons still in the world, but no one is an official in the court, it can be said that as long as you die, your presence in the court fades, and your wife can immediately make your Tang family exist in name only!" β
"How is that possible? No matter how they are, they have already stepped into the threshold of my Tang family, and they are members of my Tang family! Tang Xiang's eyes were full of disbelief, and he stood up abruptly and retorted, his neck turning red from the sharp ups and downs of his heart.
"So, Mr. Tang, you are really naΓ―ve."
Ling Li waved his hand boringly, pulled Su Li to get up and left the front hall, and said in a light tone: "Finally, I would like to remind you that the eldest prince of your mansion has had a hidden poison in his body for several years, and this poison has caused him to be obese, his thinking is dull and useless, and he has become a waste. That's all I have to say, the old gentleman can do it himself. β
After saying that, Ling Li and Su Li's figures flickered a few times, disappeared from the gate of the Ling family, and returned to the jade chariot.
Before Tang Xiang could recover from his shock, he saw Ling Qinglan take a few steps out, turned around and said:
"The old gentleman doesn't have to worry about the exposure, the people in the ten miles around the Tang Mansion are sleeping soundly, and they won't wake up even if there is an explosion within three hours. The old gentleman only took a little more than an hour in total, so naturally he had no worries. β
Tang Xiang watched in a daze as the Hidden Demon Sect members filled the courtyard retreated silently, like ghosts, and quickly disappeared into the empty streets.
"Sir!"
"Master, are you alright?"
A group of people poured in the backyard, Yingying Yanyan was so lively, Tang Xiang looked at Xu Xian, who was twenty years younger than him, expressionlessly, and did not speak.
Although the woman is in her forties, she is very well maintained, she looks only in her thirties, and she is Tang Ping's biological mother, Dongfang Juan.
"Master, was it okay in the house just now? I heard that there was a thief who burglarized, and he was so bold that he dared to steal from the Prime Minister's Mansion! β
Dongfang Juan looked indignant, but what she said made Tang Xiang confused.
They had all seen the leader of the Hidden Demon Sect just now, why did they all feel like they had lost their memories now.
Although he was puzzled, Tang Xiang had lived for sixty or seventy years, and the city government still had it, so he immediately suppressed his thoughts in his heart, nodded slightly, and said: "It's okay, although the thief was not caught, and nothing was lost in the house, let's go back and continue to sleep." β
"Yes, sir."
The crowd gradually dispersed, Tang Ping glanced at Tang Lei, who was still in a daze, sneered in his heart, and stepped forward with concern: "Grandpa, you should rest early." β
Tang Xiang shook his head, "It's almost time to go to the morning court, let's rest when you come back, you are sixteen or seventeen years old is the time to grow your body, go down." β
Receiving Tang Xiang's concern, Tang Ping was satisfied, glanced at Tang Lei proudly, and then left the front hall.
As soon as Tang Ping left, only Tang Lei was left in the house.
Facing his grandfather alone, Tang Lei was worried in his heart, lowered his head and shrunk his neck, like an overweight ostrich.
Tang Xiang looked sad in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to have a look of disgust, and reprimanded: "Bastard! I've been fooling around outside lately, don't you even want home?! β
The sudden reprimand made Tang Lei look confused, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "I'm not, I don't have ......"
"Dare to quibble!"
Tang Xiang grabbed Tang Lei's ears and walked to the study.
"Grandpa light, it hurts ......"
The girl who was peeking outside the door saw this scene, laughed in her heart, and hurriedly left the front hall and ran to the backyard.
The lights in the study were flickering, and Tang Lei knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to take a breath.
Tang Xiang sat on the chair without saying a word, but he understood it in his heart, and he was shocked, the Hidden Demon Sect ...... It can erase the memories of others, it's so scary!
He finally understood what Qinghu meant by "no worries", originally he was worried that Dongfang Juan would secretly report to the royal family, but now it is naturally impossible.
"Grandpa?"
Kneeling for too long, Tang Lei's feet were numb, and he couldn't help but ask out loud: "Grandpa, the person who came tonight is not a hidden ......"
"Shut up!"
Tang Xiang's face changed instantly, and he looked at Tang Lei in disbelief, could it be that the means of erasing memories had failed, with the meticulousness of the people of the Hidden Demon Sect, there should be no omission.
Tang Lei covered his mouth with his hands, his face was full of horror, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, Tang Xiang's fierceness really frightened him.
"You kid...... Follow me! β
With a sigh, Tang Xiang got up and walked to the bedroom, Tang Lei followed nervously, but saw that his grandfather had turned some mechanism under the bed, and the place where the wardrobe was originally placed was removed, revealing a secret room entrance.
Tang Lei was immediately shocked, how could there be such a place in his grandfather's bedroom.
"What are you doing, let me in!"
Tang Xiang's voice came, Tang Lei hurriedly said "oh", and walked in with a fart, because the door was too small, his huge body was almost embedded in the door frame and squeezed in.
Tang Xiang shook his head, knowing the secret of his eldest grandson's obesity at this time, of course he would not blame him as before.
After Tang Lei came in, Tang Xiang twisted the mechanism, and the bookcase was closed silently, and at the same time, Tang Xiang also lit the oil lamp, so that his eyes would not be black.
"Grandpa, what is this place?"
Tang Lei was curious, he was surprised to find that the lines on his grandfather's face softened, that kind gaze, he had only seen it from when his grandfather looked at Tang Ping.
"Lei'er, you have grown up, and I won't hide a lot of things from you." Tang Xiang sighed and told a rough idea of the secret that had been hidden in his heart all these years.
Tang Lei listened to it with a long mouth, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
Grandpa, did he take the wrong medicine? Or is he making up stories, why doesn't he sound like it's real at all?
However, when he heard that his mother and his original grandmother had died inexplicably one after another, his face finally lost his lightness, and he slowly became gloomy, and fell into a long silence.
"Lei'er, grandpa is useless, the royal family doesn't know when it will attack me, you are the only hope of my Tang family, you must live well."
Tang Xiang gently patted his grandson's fat shoulder, "Tonight, I will take you to the doctor, the leader of the Hidden Demon Sect has never erased your memory, and the old man also reacted, it turned out that he had already calculated that I would take you to detoxify, but now it saves most of the trouble." β
"Grandpa, grandson is fine."
Tang Lei had a smirk on his face, which was distressing, "My grandson has found a doctor who can detoxify." β
"What?"
Tang Xiang was stunned, he thought that his grandson had been kept in the dark all along, and it turned out that he was the one who knew the latest?
"It's a sin for my grandson to blame grandpa before."
Tang Lei's eyes were clear, since Su Li suppressed the toxins in his body, he had thought a lot about it during this time, and he was no longer as stupid as before.
"My grandson's own body, no matter how dull it is, if he is going to die, he can still feel a little."
Thinking of the shadow of the Guoxue Mansion, Tang Lei's fat face showed a deep sense of gratitude, "In fact, a few months ago, my grandson felt that his physical strength had dropped sharply, to the point that he would gasp when he walked a few steps, and later, by chance, he was suppressed by a medical Taoist saint with only one pill. β
"My grandson has always been very strange, since he can easily suppress the poison in my body, why didn't he help me unravel the poison, and then I thought about it, she was afraid that she would scare the snake and kill my grandson."
Speaking of this, Tang Lei smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Grandpa, there are a lot of things I don't understand, but Brother Li'er once told me that if someone dares to bully me, even if they don't want to fight for their lives, they must be bullied back!" Since the Dongfang family is a cannibal demon, otherwise we will take refuge in the Hidden Demon Sect! β
