Chapter 403: Self-blame
After the rain and the sunny day, it was rainbow and sunshine, little Jasmine quickly fell asleep in Tang Ming's warm and secure arms, carried her to his bedroom under the leadership of the guards, and came to the door Tang Ming asked the guards beside him: "What's the matter with Little Jasmine, is it that Uncle Zheng is so used to her, and actually took the big dog to the downtown area, she was spoiled like this at a young age, and she repaid it when she grew up."

In the face of Tang Ming's questioning, the guard was not nervous at all, but smiled and said, "Master Hou doesn't know, Miss is actually doing a good deed." Two months ago, Steward Zheng took the young lady to play in the city of Nanjing, and the young lady in the downtown met a few children who were begging along the street, most of these children had no parents or were abandoned since childhood. ā
The old housekeeper also saw that the young lady usually didn't have any playmates of the same age in the house, and felt that if he wanted to really help these children who had no fixed home, it was not enough to give a little charity. In the end, I felt that I would adopt all these children into this Hou Mansion, let them do what they could in the mansion, and be a playmate with the young lady! ā
The guard paused for a moment, licked his lips and continued: "At first, there were only a dozen of them, but since the young lady moved to this Hou Mansion, they have to go to the city almost every day, and they can always bring back a few each time, just like Hou Ye, you can see, now the mansion has been completely occupied by children. But the young lady still enjoyed it, and now the old housekeeper felt the pressure, and most of these children were sold by their parents to work long hours in the homes of large families. After they heard about the young lady, they secretly ran out and begged the young lady to save them, and they didn't know how many big families in the city had offended for this. ā
"Many of them have official status, but as soon as they heard that the young lady asked the person to leave, they didn't pursue it much, but just asked Steward Zheng for some silver taels. As for the two people in the cell who are 'Taixing', two children in the house have recently disappeared for no reason, and after our investigation, we feel that these two people are very suspicious, so the young lady took the second general to arrest them personally. ā
I see, but after Tang Ming thought about it deeply, he still felt that things were not so simple, so he asked again: "Little Jasmine will definitely not be so simple, this Hou Ye looks at her little spirit in the downtown area, she will definitely not be the first time to do this, don't want to hide from me to say anything good for your young lady, tell the truth!" ā
The guard was told by Tang Ming's words, touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said in a slurred voice: "Actually, although Miss likes to play in the downtown area, she has really never messed around, nor has she bullied anyone. At most, after some gentlemen in the city bullied those children, the young lady would stand up for them, and that's all! ā
Tang Ming still didn't believe the guard's explanation, and he didn't continue to ask any more when he was skeptical, no matter what happened to little Jasmine now, he would now take on the responsibility of being a father.
Soon after, Uncle Zheng hurried under the leadership of the housekeeper, and although the old housekeeper who had not seen him for a long time was old, he was still very light and brisk, and he walked with a breeze.
Tang Ming hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and at the same time complimented him in his mouth: "Uncle Zheng is really old and strong, look at you walking with the wind when you walk, it is really gratifying!" ā
The old housekeeper pulled his face and snorted angrily: "Okay, you kid, is there a parent in the world like you?" I didn't know how to take time to see my children for more than a year. Look at the child missing, I feel distressed when I look at it! ā
Tang Ming couldn't even open his mouth when he said this, and the guilt that had just calmed down for a short time would come back to his mind. With a bitter face, Tang Ming didn't dare to defend at all, and repeatedly claimed to the old housekeeper that he was not. The attitude is sincere and the posture is also lowered, and the old housekeeper can't say anything about him when he sees this.
After the old housekeeper asked what little Jasmine was doing, he learned that she had fallen asleep, so he came to the living room with Tang Ming, and the two little girls and maidservants served them fragrant tea. The old housekeeper took the teacup with a smile, pointed at them with one hand and said to Tang Ming: "Look at it, look at it, these are all children who have lost their parents or have been sold to large families to work long hours because their families are poor." Little Jasmine, out of longing for her parents and empathizing with their situation, brought them all to this mansion and gave them the freedom to become good playmates with them. ā
Through the mouth of the old housekeeper, Tang Ming finally had a general understanding of Xiao Jasmine's recent situation, the little girl really didn't learn badly, but just had a little fun. Tang Ming can understand that children who are more than three years old are fun, but later the old housekeeper mentioned to Tang Ming that little Jasmine is now the nemesis of the gentlemen in Nanjing City.
Now the children of the Japanese in Nanjing City will take a detour when they see her on the street, and no one dares to argue with her, and the reason is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi supports her. Moreover, she is the youngest, and she is as knowledgeable as a little girl, and even the gentlemen in Nanjing City feel that it is unnecessary, which also leads to little Jasmine walking sideways in Nanjing City now, and no one dares to say anything about her.
Knowing the little girl's recent situation, Tang Ming didn't want to listen to the old housekeeper's chatter anymore, the older this person was, the more he couldn't stop talking about things. For the sake of his ears, Tang Ming had to change the topic: "Uncle Zheng, you came from Gaochun just now, do you know if there is a group of old men waiting for me in my Gaochun manor!" ā
The old butler seemed to have remembered something at this time, and hurriedly said: "When I came here just now, I met General Zhang Yu and them, and I knew that you had left the palace, and I wanted you to go back quickly when I saw you." Otherwise, your Gaochun Manor will suffer, if there is an emergency, you can go back first, and then go back to Gaochun with her when the young lady wakes up. ā
After a little hesitation, Tang Ming agreed to Uncle Zheng's proposal, got into the carriage in the mansion and hurried away. He didn't know much about Zhang Yu, this old man was definitely the master who would do what he said, he said that if he went back slowly, Gaochun Manor would suffer, and then something bad would inevitably happen.
If it was Huang Fu who made the threat, then Tang Ming wouldn't have to be so anxious, compared to Zhang Yulai, Huang Fu, the old man, could definitely be regarded as a humble gentleman.
As soon as Tang Ming got into the carriage, he ordered it to speed up, and the horseman respectfully agreed, flicked the horsewhip and whipped it on the horse's back, and the strong high-headed horse was in pain, and after raising his front legs and landing heavily, he immediately galloped up, and in the sound of the horse's hooves, he quickly went out of the city gate, and went straight to Gaochun Manor along the spacious and flat cement road.
