Chapter 138 Goodbye Tang Family
Chapter 138 Goodbye Tang Family
When they came, they were traveling light and with only a small entourage, and when they left, they were accompanied by two maids, Zizhu and Zisu.
When they arrived at the city gate, Bai Heyi was already waiting there.
Also traveling with them was the Imperial Commissioner Xi.
Tang Peipei felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone had arrived.
Mu Jintang patted her hands and got off the carriage.
Tang Peipei also got off the carriage.
When Bai Heyi saw her following Mu Jintang obediently with her head down, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Pretending to be quite similar.
Mu Jintang smiled and bowed to Bai Heyi and Lord Xi, saying, "I'm sorry, I was busy packing yesterday and slept late. I got up a little late today. I'm sorry to have kept the Fifth Prince and Lord Xi waiting for so long."
Bai Heyi waved his hands and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's get going."
After saying this, he got into the carriage with the help of Eunuch Cai.
Lord Xi also got on the carriage.
The group was about to set off when someone suddenly shouted, "Tang Peipei? Tang Peipei!"
Suddenly someone called her, and Tang Peipei looked towards the voice curiously.
Unexpectedly, she saw someone she never thought she would see again.
Because of this person, several other people suddenly appeared in Tang Peipei's mind.
She seemed to have almost forgotten about those people.
Tang Peipei slapped his forehead, feeling a little annoyed.
The man saw Tang Peipei standing there, staring at her in a daze.
He quickly took three or two steps forward, looked at Tang Peipei with a smile on his face and said, "Peipei, I didn't expect it was really you?"
Tang Peipei nodded as a sign of agreement. She really didn't want to talk to this person.
Seeing Tang Peipei's indifference, the man didn't care and said to himself, "You are so kind. You look rich now, right? Look, your aunt doesn't even have a place to live now. Can you take me in?"
That’s right, the person in front of him is Tang Peipei’s aunt, Tang Wanrou.
Seeing her so shameless, Tang Peipei frowned.
If she didn't want to know news about her cousin and Aunt Du, she wouldn't bother listening to her nonsense.
Tang Peipei didn't want to get too entangled with her, so she asked, "Are you alone?"
Tang Wanrou paused, thinking that she was still thinking about her brother, Tang Peipei's father.
Come to think of it, even if they were the ones who kicked her out of the house, she is still their biological daughter, so it's normal for them to worry about her.
He smiled and said to Tang Peipei: "They are all in the ruined temple outside the city."
Tang Peipei looked at Mu Jintang and said, "Can we go take a look?"
Mu Jintang nodded, turned and went to the Fifth Prince's carriage, said something to the Fifth Prince, and then returned to Tang Peipei.
He said to her, "We will pass by the ruined temple outside the city in a while, let's go and take a look then."
Tang Peipei nodded, ignored Tang Wanrou, and got on their carriage.
Seeing that she had no intention of taking her with her, Tang Wanrou tried to squeeze into Tang Peipei and their carriage regardless.
As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Zizhu.
Tang Wanrou immediately refused to accept it and cried out loudly, "My dear niece is beating up my aunt, come and see. This heartless person has turned against me now that he has become rich. He rides in such a nice carriage, but he won't even give my aunt a bowl of porridge."
Knowing that the Fifth Prince and Doctor Tang who treated them were going back to the capital today, many people came to see them off spontaneously.
After hearing Tang Wanrou's howl, many people began to whisper.
However, most people were talking about Tang Wanrou's behavior as a shrew, but no one said anything bad about Tang Peipei.
In the minds of these people, Tang Peipei was the one who saved their lives, so how could they believe the words of this shrew?
Zi Su was a little angry and wanted to stop it.
Tang Peipei said, "Ignore her, let's go."
The group bypassed Tang Wanrou and headed out of the city.
Tang Wanrou thought that with Tang Peipei's current attitude, he would definitely care about other people's opinions and would stop her no matter what. Then she would rely on them and enjoy life with them.
But Tang Peipei just left with his men.
Tang Wanrou was dumbfounded.
He quickly stood up and chased after Tang Peipei and their carriage.
Thinking of her son who had already become so emaciated that only bones were left, Tang Wanrou ran forward with all her might.
She had to catch up quickly, so that if Tang Peipei wanted to take her eldest brother and his family to enjoy a good life, she could go along.
Even if I can't go with them, I might be able to get some money.
Judging from the way Tang Peipei was dressed, the carriage she was riding in, and the maids serving her, she must be living a good life now.
Also, I just heard that those people were high-ranking officials in the capital. Could it be that Tang Peipei had climbed up the social ladder? Then, could my son find a good private school for Tang Peipei to study in, and when he grows up, I could get him a job as an official in the capital?
The more I thought about it, the happier I felt. My feet felt stronger and I felt like I was running with the wind.
By the time she finally found the secret of the temple, Tang Peipei had already arrived for a long time.
Looking at the Tang family in front of him, Tang Peipei felt very emotional.
The father who had kicked her out of the house and claimed to be a romantic and dashing man was now dressed in rags, had lost a lot of weight, and had sunken eyes.
When looking at Tang Peipei, he was a little dazed.
As for the eldest and second brothers, they were so thin that they looked like human beings.
The cruelty of these people is still vivid in my mind.
But somehow, seeing them like this now, Tang Peipei didn't seem to hate them as much as before.
After a long while, Tang Ren finally asked, "How is your mother now?" After asking, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Looking at you now, I think she is doing very well."
Tang Peipei didn’t know what to say to them. In fact, these people were strangers to her, right?
But deep in her memory, she still remembers her father's careful teaching when she was young and her brothers' love and care for her.
If that incident hadn't happened, she wouldn't have been kicked out of the house and would still be their beloved child.
Maybe that's just how people are.
You know clearly that they were nice to you in the first place because you are valuable.
Later you became worthless, so they abandoned you.
Even though it was extremely painful at the time, the wound healed and the scar disappeared.
Those beautiful memories can still occupy your heart, and you still only remember those beautiful ones.
Tang Peipei smiled bitterly and said, "Are you the only ones?"
Tang Ren nodded, "There are only three of us left. Your two sisters-in-law and nephew were washed away by the flood. I think the chances of survival are slim."
"So what are your plans next?"
Tang Ren shook his head in confusion. Now that he had lost his village, his home, and no money, he didn't know what to do.
Tang Peipei stretched out his hand to Zizhu, and Zizhu saw a purse placed in Tang Peipei's hand.
Tang Peipei handed it to Tang Ren and said, "Take this. The money in it is enough for you to buy a small house in Qianzhou, and the rest can be used to start a small business."
Tang Ren looked at the heavy purse in his hand and felt emotional.
Thinking back to the past, Tang Ren felt very regretful.
Perhaps this is the change after experiencing life and death.
Now, he was somewhat reluctant to take Tang Peipei's money, as he felt that he was not qualified.
However, looking at his two sons who were so skinny that their bones were visible on their bodies, Tang Ren couldn't bear to let them continue like this.
The reason he is still alive today is entirely due to the support of his two sons who gave him most of the food.
This dilapidated temple is not big, and there are only Tang Ren and another family there.
Tang Peipei didn't know that family and thought they were from another village.
Tang Peipei was a little disappointed because she didn't see the person she was looking for.
He asked, "Do you know what happened to Sister Tang Yan and her family?"
Tang Ren shook his head and said, "I don't know. The flood came too quickly and we didn't have time to pay attention to other people's movements."
Tang Peipei didn't actually expect to learn anything from them, so she just asked casually.
Since they were not among them, Tang Peipei turned around and prepared to leave.
