Chapter 20: The Third Child
Tao Shi's widow has two sons, the eldest son Tao Songzhi, who is ten years old this year; The second son, Tao Fuzhi, is eight years old this year. Tao Songzhi was enlightened at the age of five, very smart, Tao Shiyi had deep hopes for his two sons, especially the eldest son Tao Songzhi, last year Tao Shiyi also went to Shaoyang Mansion three hundred miles away, to visit an old Hanlin who had a relationship, just waiting for the spring of next year, he sent Tao Songzhi to Shaoyang Mansion and followed the old Hanlin to study.
Now when he heard Wei Tou'er mention Tao Songzhi, Tao Shiyi's heart was raised.
Long before Rong Niang went to see Huang, Tao Shiyi asked his wife Wang to take his two sons to Shilipu Wang's maiden house, and these days, he also lives in Shilipu.
And now Wei Tou'er suddenly talked about his eldest son Tao Songzhi, and Tao Shiyi quickly thought about the scene on the day his wife and children left the house.
Everyone in the house knows that the eldest young master Tao Song got up to read at night and suffered from the wind cold, so when he left the house that day, although the wind and the sun were warm, everyone in the house saw that the eldest young master Tao Songzhi was wearing a cloak and a hood......
So there will be no mistakes on the day of leaving the house, and after arriving at Shilipu, Tao Songzhi has been sick, and there are medicine residues to be taken out and poured out every day.
After thinking about this, Tao Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, there was no mistake, and he wanted to remind Wei Touer not to forget that he still had a wife and children.
Tao Shiyi's face was full of grievances: "Wei Tou'er, before coming here, Tao just let this child stab, you can let people see, how can a child hurt someone, Tao has already asked, it was Guan Mingjue who instructed this child to come to Tao, the child is here, you will know as soon as you ask." ”
Through the screen, Tao Shiyi couldn't see the scene inside, of course he really couldn't see the ridicule in Wei Tou'er's eyes.
Guan Mingjue sent a seven or eight-year-old girl to assassinate?
If Guan Mingjue is such an old fool, can the Guan family survive to this day?
Wei Tou'er suddenly became a little uncertain. When the lord learned the news that the Shen family's youngest daughter-in-law had been replaced, he immediately sent people to look around, from north to south, for five whole years!
Until they found Tao Shiyi...... This news was released by Tao Shiyi.
The lord wanted to get the Shen family's child, so he knew that Tao Shiyi was waiting for the price to sell, and while cooperating with Guan Mingjue, he negotiated terms with them, but they still agreed to him.
But now it seems that Wei Tou'er feels that he is too merciful.
He stretched out a finger, gently lifted Shen Tong's chin, and looked at it carefully.
"Your name is Tongtong, did your mother say it, why did she choose this name for you?" Wei Tou'er's voice suddenly became gentle, Shen Tong's body shook violently, and she remembered who this person was!
Wei Tou'er thought that she was scared, and her eyes were even softer, if it weren't for his full beard, he really looked like a kind person.
Shen Tong almost wanted to pull out his legs and run away, how could it be this person?
He is not surnamed Wei, his name is Tu Wei, and he is known as Thousand Faces!
In his previous life, Shen Tong had seen him three times, once he was a scholar with a white face and a slight beard, once he was an inconspicuous ordinary citizen, and the other time he was a scarred face.
And Tu Wei, who appeared in front of Shen Tong now, was full of beard.
I don't know which one is his real face, maybe not.
Tu Wei's cold fingers touched Shen Tong's chin, that finger was only an inch away from her throat, Shen Tong's cold hair stood up all over her body, she clenched her teeth and didn't say anything.
Tu Wei saw horror in her eyes, and the child was scared.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, tell your uncle why your mother named you Tongtong." He repeated.
Shen Tong finally calmed down, and she said timidly, "No...... I don't know. ”
"I don't know, then you always know where you lived before you came to your cousin's house, right?" Tu Wei said softly.
"Live...... Live...... I don't remember. The little girl's whole body trembled, and she could feel Tu Wei's strength on her fingers, and her jaw ached.
"I don't remember, you're eight years old, how can you not even remember where your home is, it's really not good, think about it, as long as you remember, uncle will send you to see your mother." Tu Wei's fingers opened easily, but his other hand pinched Shen Tong's shoulder.
The shoulders of children are thin and thin, and they can be pinched and crushed at any time.
Feeling the pain in her shoulder, Shen Tong's tears fell, she looked at the screen for help, the cousin who brought her was behind the screen, and the cousin came to save her.
"I want to find my mother, but I really don't remember where my home is, my mother-in-law didn't tell me, and my cousin didn't say it, uncle, I hurt so much, you let go!"
Tao Shiyi's eyes widened outside the screen, mother-in-law, what mother-in-law? What is this kid talking about?
It's a bad thing, it's really going to be bad for this little thing today!
Tu Wei was still smiling, and he asked softly, "Where is my mother-in-law?" ”
Shen Tong shook his head: "I don't know, Steward Tao took me and my two sisters to my cousin's house, and I never saw my mother-in-law again, it's true, I don't know where my mother-in-law is." ”
"What's my mother-in-law's last name?"
"The surname is Wang."
This time there was finally something she knew, and the little girl replied quickly and well.
Tu Wei looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and asked, "Mother-in-law surnamed Wang?" ”
The woman thought for a while and replied, "On the sixth day of the first month of last month, Tao Sancun, the housekeeper of Tao Shiyi, bought three children from Wang Yapo, totaling fifty taels of silver. That night, Wang Yapo's rented house ran out of water, and Wang Yapo burned to death along with her eight unsold children. ”
"Bought three children, one in front of you, and what about two?" Tu Wei became interested, he looked at Shen Tong, "What about the two sisters?" ”
"Sister Chunque and Sister Fangfei have been with me all the time, I saw them yesterday, but then I don't know where they went." Shen Tong didn't lie, Chunque and Fang Fei really stayed with her all the time.
"Really? So that's it! Tu Wei laughed, and suddenly, he sat up from the Hu bed, picked up Shen Tong who was standing on the side with one hand, and threw it towards the screen!
"Come on, take down Tao Shiyi!"
When the woman said that he had bought three children from Wang Yapo, Tao Shiyi knew that it was over, it was really over!
It is true that he bought three children, but not three girls, but one boy and two girls.
Just to be unobtrusive, the boy was dressed as a girl and brought into the house.
The two girls were taken into the small courtyard, while the boy remained in his wife, Wang's yard, until Wang took the child to Shilipu.
But now Tu Wei believes that the third child is Shen Tong, and he can't tell the truth.
Because the child named Lan Cai was bought by him as a stand-in for his eldest son Tao Songzhi.
In a daze, Shen Tong's petite body hit the screen, and Huang Huali's screen fell down with a bang.
