XXXVIII. Careful recognition, full of sorrow.

The long road of the Tang Mansion is like a calm river. Meandering in the thick shadows of the trees.

Under the hazy moonlight, two figures, one in front of the other, walked in a hurry, heading straight to the direction of the Tang Mansion.

At this time, late at night, the two people who rushed to the Tang Mansion. It's Master Tang and the steward Xiao Wuzi.

Master Tang walked in a sassy manner, walking like a gust of wind. Xiao Wuzi followed closely behind, stepping on the rhythm of steps.

Sang Niang stood on the avenue and waited quietly. Everything is negotiated by the three of them, and they are in control of the situation.

The moonlight reflected on her, obliquely lonely, and in the hazy darkness, there was a trace of sadness.

Master Tang and Xiao Wuzi, when they were hurrying on the road, suddenly found that there was a person standing in the center of the road ahead. Master Tang slowed down and slowly approached her.

Xiao Wuzi looked at Master Tang, his heart was quiet, and he didn't say a word. It's just that I secretly observed Master Tang's expression.

"Master Tang, Sang'er asks the master hello." Sang Niang stood in front of her, facing Master Tang, with a calm face and a calm word.

Master Tang looked at her, stopped, stood in front of her, and looked at her carefully.

"San'er? … You, you were the girl who served the eldest lady back then? When Master Tang heard that, he couldn't help but be surprised. After a moment's hesitation, he asked her.

"Master Tang, don't you recognize it? And no wonder... The little girl of the year is now middle-aged. Sang Niang suddenly smiled, smiling so bitterly.

Master Tang took a few steps closer and looked at her seriously. After a long time, he seemed to see Sang Niang clearly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said indifferently, "Sure enough, it's the girl of the year, Sang'er." But what are you doing again? ”

"Master Tang, it's been many years. For many years, in your heart, is there still a big lady? Sang Niang looked directly at Master Tang, with sadness in her eyes, and asked.

When Master Tang heard this, his eyes drifted away, as if avoiding something. After being silent for a long time, he said coldly, "What are you doing with this slut?" She eloped with someone and died in another country. She took it upon herself! What do you have to do with me! ”

"Master, you are wrong to blame the eldest lady!" When Sang Niang heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't help but cry out for injustice, and said passionately, "Mrs. has a deep love for the lord and is loyal." Never betrayed! ”

When Master Tang heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his lips turned white. Flicked his sleeves angrily and said angrily, "Don't mention that slut!" ”

"Master, Sang Niang is waiting here tonight, and she wants to tell the past for the master." Sang Niang reluctantly calmed down, and said to Master Tang bitterly, "Please also ask the master, listen quietly." ”

Xiao Wuzi was on the side, and said for Sang Niang, "Master, Sang Er followed the eldest lady back then, and she knew everything best... Listen to her first. ”

Master Tang listened to Xiao Wuzi's persuasion and slowly calmed down his anger. His expression was cold, and his eyes were cold and detached. He didn't say a word, but he didn't move.

Sang Niang faced Master Tang and uncovered the scars of the past. Her voice trembled, telling the story of the past, and once again burst into tears.

Xiao Wuzi, who was listening on the side, stood there quietly, and then burst into tears again.

After listening to Sang Niang crying about the past, Master Tang's face changed slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. For a long time, he questioned, "What you say, but is it true?" ”

"San'er swears to God! There is no lie! Sang Niang pointed to the sky, and her words were passionate and firm.

Master Tang didn't respond, he suddenly turned sideways, couldn't help but frown, went to the back, and shouted, "Who is here!" ”

"Song Lian is here!" A voice rang out. Song Lian fell lightly in front of him.

She was dressed in a simple green cloth shirt, with a light face and an arrogant and cold posture, under the dim moonlight, she was unstoppable.

Old Master Tang was surprised, staring at Song Lianzhi for a long time. Song Lian and Master Tang looked at each other without moving. Sang Niang and Xiao Wuzi looked at each other knowingly.

The undulating situation of the waves, because of her sudden appearance, the air instantly froze into ice.

After a long period of coldness, Master Tang's face was calm, and he finally broke the cold air and asked Song Lian, "Who are you?" ”

Song Lian stared at Master Tang, just smiled faintly, she raised the thing in her hand, and said coldly, "Master Tang, look, what is this?" ”

At this time, facing Master Tang, although he is his biological father. But she had no emotion. The three words of Master Tang in his mouth are now plain and hateful.

Hearing this, Master Tang slowly raised his face and followed the place where her hand was raised. I can't help but take a closer look.

Under the indifferent moonlight, the piece of jade pendant was clear and dazzling.

"Huh? This, this jade pendant, how is it in your hand? After taking a closer look, Master Tang looked surprised, took a step back, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you, you are... The outcast in the mouth of Sang Niang? ”

"That's right! When you see Yu Pei, you are like seeing my mother! Song Lian took a deep breath, endured the grief in her heart, and said loudly to Master Tang, "Master Tang, have you ever felt guilty?!" ”

Old Man Tang looked at one place in a daze, and a trace of sadness loomed on his face. There was a bit of pain in his eyes. He blinked, as if trying to keep the tears from falling.

"Master, she is the eldest lady who is pregnant in October, and her heart is sharp and fleshy... It's the eldest lady and your biological daughter..."Sang Niang was on the side, unable to hold back any longer, and cried to Master Tang.

Master Tang only listened to this cry, and the tears that he endured fell silently from his deep eyes and in the night wind.

The wind blew gently, and the four of them stood silently in the night. It's a poignant ......

"Li'er, are you my own daughter? You are really my daughter..."After a long period of pain, looking at Song Lian for a long time, Master Tang staggered a few steps, walked to the place of the big tree, he held the trunk weakly, and said slowly in a low voice, "If you don't listen to Sang'er, if you don't see this jade pendant, I don't dare to believe it... It's true..."

Song Lian stood in place, looking at Master Tang in a daze, her face was cold, but tears flashed in her eyes.

Sang Niang looked at Master Tang, then at Song Lian, slowly approached Song Lian, and stretched out her hand to support her.

Xiao Wuzi stood for a moment and slowly approached Master Tang. Said softly to Master Tang, "Master, you should be happy to get together, why did you cry again?" Flesh and blood recognize each other, and they want to take the young lady back to the Tang Mansion. ”

Old Man Tang held the trunk of the tree and wept for a long time. Listening to what Xiao Wuzi said, he couldn't help but calm down.

He looked up and left the tree. Turning around, he slowly walked in front of Song Lian, carefully and decently. With a serious look, he said to her in a trembling voice, "Lian'er, go back to the Tang Mansion... Let Daddy, make up for this debt..."

"Master Tang, for your conscience, Song has mercy on me, promise you!" Song Lian looked indifferent and said calmly. After a pause, he said to Master Tang, "It's just that Song Lian has three conditions. ”

"What are the conditions? Let's just talk about it. Daddy promises you! Master Tang didn't care, Song Pian called him Master Tang, but he just promised her.

"The first condition is the return of the eight-lift sedan chair; The second condition is that everyone in the Tang Mansion welcomes them personally; The third condition is that Song Lian can come and go freely. Song Lian turned around sideways, looked at the unknown place, and said to Master Tang with strong words.

Master Tang was serious and listened to these three conditions. couldn't help but agree, "Not to mention three conditions, even if it is a hundred conditions, my father will promise you all of them!" ”

Sang Niang and Xiao Wuzi on the side, seeing this scene, couldn't help but cry with joy and tears.

Song Lian didn't look at Master Tang, but looked not far away, and kept looking at it like that...

This special night, this long-lost acquaintance. In everyone's heart, there is a ripple......
