Chapter 048: Her Mother's Death
Tang Feng spared her life and returned home in a carriage on the side of the road.
Not long after entering through the side door, when she walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, she saw Lin Zhiyuan wandering nearby.
Tang Feng did not stop walking lightly, and walked straight towards the inner courtyard, but was blocked by Lin Zhiyuan.
Lin Zhiyuan took out a beautifully packaged small box from his arms, and the box was painted with a simple and elegant three-petal orchid, with bright color and lifelike.
"Cousin, I saw many girls in the Treasure Pavilion buying this item today, and I heard that it can make a woman's complexion better, and the effect is longer than lipstick, so I bought it for you to try."
He smiled with his eyebrows, warm and polite, like a warm sun, comforting his heart.
Tang Fengqing shook his head and refused: "Write more about my cousin's kindness, but I already have it." β
After speaking, the lotus fragrance behind her handed over a bunch of wooden boxes very discerningly, which contained not only lipstick, but also perfume and other things.
It's something she made, so how could she not use it herself.
Lin Zhiyuan stiffened with a smile.
Under the backdrop of the two compartments, it became more and more obvious that the things in his hands could not be held on the table.
He was not ashamed, but put on a lost smile, shook his head and said: "It seems that I am self-inflicted, since my cousin already has it, then it is useless for me to take this thing, it is better to throw it away." β
If it was another girl, I would have been confused by his attitude.
He would quickly reach out and take his lipstick and say: Although I already have it, my cousin gave it differently after all.
And Tang Fengqing just glanced at him, without much emotion, and walked directly past him.
What does it have to do with what he buys with his own money, throwing it away when he wants, and keeping it when he wants to keep it?
Lin Zhiyuan didn't wait for what he expected, he couldn't help but feel a stump in his heart, and directly turned around and grabbed Tang Fengqing's wrist, he could clearly feel that the girl's skin was warm and smooth, moist.
"Cousin, self-respect." Tang Feng lightly pulled his wrist out of his hand.
The look in his eyes is still the same as if he was not sad or happy.
Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh, Tang Fengqing would not have any other expression in front of him at all, no matter what she did, she would always be as cold as ice, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"Cousin, am I doing something wrong? Why have you been so cold to me? β
He remembered that he had never provoked her in the first place.
Tang Feng looked at him lightly, shook his head slowly, and his tone was detached, "No, I just don't want to have too close contact with men, and besides, you know my grandmother's thoughts, but I don't want to get married so soon." β
If she is enthusiastic about Lin Zhiyuan.
The old lady's heart must not be able to control it.
After speaking, Tang Feng left with a blank face.
As soon as he took two steps, he heard Lin Zhiyuan's voice behind him, "Cousin, let's go." β
With that, he turned away in distraught.
Lin Zhiyuan first contacted Tang Fengqing, just to see how different she was, such a girl, but she was disdainful of herself.
Including the teasing in the back, it was just because he was on a whim.
But when she rejected herself, why could she feel that her chest seemed to be blocked by something, and there was a dull pain of bitterness.
Tang Fengqing didn't know what he was thinking, so he took someone back to the room directly.
Not long after he sat down, he heard the maid come and say goodbye.
"Second Miss, the eldest lady is angry in the yard again, and refuses to try the wedding dress embroidered by the embroiderer, so that the embroiderer can't change the stitches."
Tang Feng stood up lightly and walked to Tang Yirou's courtyard with a cold face.
In the past, Tang Yirou's face was round, and his smile was gentle and beautiful, like a stream flowing slowly in people's hearts.
At this time, she showed a sharp chin, and her eyes were vicious like a beast in the abyss, staring at the person who came to her.
"Heh, you want me to cooperate with you obediently, dreaming!"
After marrying into the Liang family, she has no room to turn over in this life.
Tang Feng walked up to her lightly and lifted her chin slightly, with only mockery in his eyes.
"You think this will take revenge on me? Wrong, since you don't cooperate, you will directly wear an inappropriate wedding dress to get married on the same day, at that time, I want to see who receives more white eyes. β
Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be guided by others.
Tang Fengqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just find an excuse to put the blame on Tang Yirou.
It's naΓ―ve to think that this little thing can threaten you.
Tang Yirou's face turned pale, her fingers pinched her clothes tightly, and a layer of sadness and anger appeared in her heart.
"Why don't you want to let me go, didn't you do it if I was wrong at the beginning, second sister, you can do it, don't torture me, okay."
Tang Yirou conceded defeat for the first time.
His face was full of tears, and he bent his knees directly and knelt straight on the ground.
She is also desperate, marrying Liang Hui's straw bag who doesn't know anything, it is better to die.
Tang Feng looked at her coldly, not missing the fierceness that flashed in her eyes.
"Eldest sister, we have been fighting for so long, and we know each other very well, I know very well what kind of person you are. I can assure you that I let you go this time, and next time it will definitely provoke you to fight back even more fiercely. β
She would never have left such a scourge behind.
Tang Yirou was anxious, stretched out her hand and pulled the hem of her skirt, and after a few seconds of rapid gaze, she seemed to think of something.
"I'll give you the news, I know how your mother died in the first place."
Tang Yirou could only pin all her hopes on this matter.
Tang Feng's light eyes instantly turned cold, and he sat on the chair in front of her, his expression was not angry and arrogant, "Say!" β
"As long as you promise to let me go, I'll say." Tang Yirou's eyes were firm, and he bargained with Tang Feng lightly.
Tang Feng laughed out loud abruptly, shook his head, and said.
"Eldest sister, are you taking me for a fool? How old were you when my mother left? How is it possible to know the cause of her death, at most to know some clues, so that you want me to let you go? Dream on. β
Since he knew that the cause of his mother's death was different, Tang Fengqing would investigate those clues sooner or later.
It's just the difference between morning and night.
"No, it's not, I'm ......" Tang Yirou didn't expect Tang Fengqing to see his external strength so quickly, and wanted to continue to prove his worth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Except for this clue, she had no other chips that could impress Tang Fengqing.
Thinking of this, Tang Yirou's whole expression was in a trance, and she said in despair: "Second sister, this is also a clue, right, can't you let me go?" β
"It's not that I won't let you go, it's that you don't want to give up on yourself."
After Tang Feng finished speaking, he chuckled several times, and said coldly: "I will give you two choices now, first, tell the clues you know, and the grievances between the two of us will be written off, and second, you continue to threaten me with it." As for what I will do if you choose the second path, I can't guarantee it. β
This is a naked threat.
Tang Yirou wanted to ignore her threat and fight her to the end as before.
But when I think of these days, every time I fight with her, I am defeated.
She just couldn't afford to lose.
Tang Yirou lowered her eyes, her mouth was full of bitterness, and she said with hatred: "I choose the first way." β
Tang Feng looked at her indifferently, meaning to let her continue.
"I remember when I was four years old, I was playing hide-and-seek in the garden with the maid and happened to pass by the main courtyard. At that time, Madame was already seriously ill, so there were very few people serving, but then, I actually saw my father come out of Madame's room, and then there was a broken teacup and a woman's shrill laughter from inside, and after a quarter of an hour, there was no movement, and Aunt Li came out of the house. β
Tang Yirou licked her lips and said with a fluttering gaze: "Within a few days, Madame died of illness." β
It's really far-fetched to have these two days together.
If it weren't for Tang Yirou's desperation, he wouldn't have pulled together these two things that only had a little subtle relationship.
After listening to Tang Feng, he also showed mockery, and looked at her with a lofty attitude, "What do you mean?" Because of that argument that caused my mother's condition to deteriorate? β
She didn't think it was likely.
Tang Yirou naturally saw that she didn't believe it, so she opened her mouth to defend herself.
"Aunt Li has wanted to be the wife of the house for a long time, maybe she fed her some chronic, poison to make her body gradually decay,"
This is also the only possibility that Tang Yirou came up with.
Tang Fengqing felt that it was impossible.
At that time, the central power of the Tang family was still in the hands of the old lady, and Aunt Li's status was not stable, so there was no way to do such a thing.
Tang Fengqing felt that there must be something he didn't know about this.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to warn Tang Yirou.
"When it comes to the day of marriage, you'd better be obedient, the Liang family is also an official eunuch. If you dare to make something unpleasant on the day of the wedding banquet, don't blame me for selling you to the countryside as a concubine for the old man, and then who will believe that you are the eldest lady of the Tang family. β
After Tang Feng finished speaking, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and gently patted her slippery and moist cheeks.
The malice in her eyes made Tang Yirou shudder.
After coming out of Tang Yirou's courtyard, Tang Fengqing took a turn around the house.
In the end, I found the old lady directly.
The old lady happened to finish her lunch break, Tang Feng lightly put the gifts she brought on the table, and smiled, "Grandmother, come and see, these are all novelties." β
On the table were all perfumes and soaps she had brought back from outside.
And also demonstrated to the old lady on the spot, how these things should be used.
The old lady immediately fell in love with both things, and tried them herself, smelling the sweet fragrance wafting in the air, and she smiled so that her eyes were wrinkled.
"I'm bothering you, I'm an old woman with half of my body in the ground, it's a waste to use such things, it's better for you to take it back and use it yourself."
Although the old lady liked it, she refused.
Her husband has passed away, and she stays in the house all day long, and who appreciates the aroma that surrounds her?
Tang Fengqing stuffed all those things to Mama Chen beside her.
smiled and persuaded: "Grandmother, even older women can use it, and I have specially selected these for you." β
The fragrance is delicate but not greasy, and it is also stained with a little sandalwood, like the gentle smell of a mother's body, which can make the person who wears it exude a kind woody fragrance from the inside out.
The old lady was also very satisfied with the smell of this perfume, and finally under Tang Fengqing's persuasion, these things flowed down.
Tang Feng sniffed the smell in the air with the tip of his nose, pretending to say unintentionally.
"Anyway, when I smell this, I think of my mother, grandmother, would you like to tell me about my mother?"
Tang Fengqing said lightly while secretly looking at the old lady's expression.
The smile on the old lady's face disappeared a lot in an instant, revealing only two vicissitudes of life, looking into the distance without focus.
"Your mother, she is a very virtuous girl."
Otherwise, the old lady would not have let her son marry her home.
