Chapter 407: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (9)
Chapter 407: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (9)
"Daddy... I'm scared, wuwuwu!" A loud child's cry was heard. Probably because he saw his father, the child suddenly broke away from the crowd and ran towards the four managers who had just been beaten.
Seeing his father "sleeping" on the ground in a mess, the child, who was only two or three years old, leaned over and leaned against his father who could no longer sit up, and said in a confused voice, "Dad, why are you sleeping here? The tiger is scared, wuwuwu!"
The man who had been able to hold on, finally saw his willpower shattered like fragile ice at this moment amid his son's heart-wrenching cry.
What was there to not understand? His wife and children, who had been sent to Youcheng and settled there half a year ago, were suddenly brought before him, proving that their every move had never been out of the control of Prince Zhuo's Mansion... Even more terrifying was that his wife and children were sent away on the eve of Prince Zhuo's wedding, which showed that his control over the fiefdom was obviously different from what he knew.
When he looked up, he happened to meet the prince's deep eyes. Fear surged like a tide, eroding the dam of reason bit by bit. Even the most resilient mind could not help but collapse and tremble.
Beside him was his son who depended on him like a frightened little animal. He raised his head and begged for mercy desperately, "Prince, I, I confess. I will tell you whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything. I only ask that you, Princess, have mercy on me and let my wife and children go!!"
Everyone looked at Shen Yu at the same time. At this moment, her graceful figure was shrouded in an invisible aura of fear, which was both charming and terrifying, like the deepest nightmare under the night sky. People dared not look directly at it, but could not escape.
She only said calmly, "Wife and children? If I am not mistaken, there is only your son here, right?"
The man turned around in disbelief, looking at his ignorant son, and quickly searched for his wife in the crowd. His heart sank, and he suddenly burst into anger, "Princess, give me back my wife. You dare to kill my wife! Ah! I'm going to fight you!!!"
After he finished speaking, he forced himself to stand up, not even caring about his frightened son standing beside him. As soon as he stood firm, he was pushed by the guards beside him and fell to the ground.
Everyone watched him struggling and squirming frantically, crying and yelling in despair, but he was unable to move forward at all. This scene suddenly made everyone empathize with him. For people like them, who can truly control their own destiny?
The frightened child was suddenly hugged with fists, and his stiff little body was embraced in a soft and sweet embrace.
He turned around and saw a sister who was a hundred times prettier than his mother hugging him. She smiled kindly and patted his back gently, "Don't be afraid!"
The child was already terrified in an unfamiliar environment, and now a gentle older sister suddenly appeared. His fear instantly erupted, and he hugged Shen Yu's neck and started crying loudly, "Wow! Sister, I'm scared..."
Lu Yingxing followed beside him, frowning as he looked at the little kid crying and sniffling in his wife's arms. He suddenly raised his hand, and the people in the yard dared not breathe. Some of the timid ones had already closed their eyes. It was over. This child would definitely be killed by Prince Zhuo and his wife! !
"Don't cry! It's not nice for a man to cry!"
Huh?
"I'm not called a man, my mother calls me little tiger, mother... woo woo woo, mother is gone..."
Seeing him start crying again, with crystal tears swirling in his eyes, Lu Yingxing frowned even more tightly, but when he looked at the scene of Shen Yu holding the child and comforting him softly, a hint of imperceptible tenderness revealed on his tightly pursed lips.
He raised his hand slightly, and the words he spoke were still reproachful, but he pinched the child's chubby little face in a helpless manner, telling him not to cry and dirty his wife's clothes.
The air around seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone was stunned, their eyes full of disbelief. They thought they were going to witness a bloody scene, but how could it turn out to be so heartwarming?
Although Prince Zhuo is ferocious, he is not as cold-blooded as rumored by the outside world. He can even show tenderness and care to the servants and children who betrayed him. He should not be a bad person, right?
This sudden contrast made everyone present feel a little relieved. Looking at the scene of the "family of three" getting along with each other, they couldn't help but feel a little anticipation for the soon-to-be-born little prince.
Shen Yu touched the sleeping little guy, probably because he was tired of crying and could fall asleep as soon as he was hugged.
After handing him over to Guyu to take to the back, she sat back in her original seat. Her voice was still cold, but everyone who heard it obviously no longer had the previous fear.
She first looked at the father who dared not speak, and waved her hand to let him go, "I don't know what wife you are talking about. These people are the relatives on your list... Mr. Wu, maybe you can help him solve his doubts?"
"Yes, princess," Wu Zhong responded.
Guyu stepped forward and helped Shen Yu to stand up again. Lu Yingxing looked at his wife who was obviously sleepy, then turned back and glared at the frightened people in the yard. He gave his wife a warning look and followed his wife in. Mrs. Tan was already waiting inside.
But everyone understood his look this time. He was disgusted that they were disturbing his wife's rest. Haha, it turns out that His Royal Highness Prince Zhuo is also a wife slave?
The main hall behind the courtyard had been quickly set up as a meeting place. Tan Daixue was buried in a pile of account books, trying hard to find anything suspicious. When she saw Shen Yu coming in, she took the lead and stepped forward to take credit, "Except for the steward in your family who was bribed, do you want to meet the ones in our family?"
Shen Yu looked at her enthusiastically selling herself and couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I remember correctly, this is your home, right?"
Seeing that she didn't use this concubine, Tan Daixue was even happier, and then she said in a complaining manner, "This is Tan Fuyao's Tan family, not my Tan Daixue's Tan family! Humph!"
After saying that, he glared at the "former big sister" who was pressed on the table and whose hands had obviously been tortured.
While Shen Yu was outside making a scary scene just now, Mrs. Tan had already driven Tan Daixue out of the Tan family in the name of being the lady of the house, and announced that she was severing her mother-daughter relationship with her. The news had already been announced, and the two things would be confirmed as soon as the government office opened tomorrow morning.
She looked at Mrs. Tan in surprise. She was indeed very courageous.
Mrs. Tan chuckled and put down the letter in her hand. "Princess, you grew up in Luocheng. Do you know any noble lady who can have a say with the Yun family?" She handed over the letter in the book. "Tan Fuyao is indeed capable. She once asked someone in Luocheng to help investigate the past of the prince and the princess. Unfortunately, the other party suddenly stopped replying. This is the last letter from Luocheng. I can only judge from the handwriting and the incense on the paper that the other party should be a noble lady in Luocheng. The content mentioned in the letter is just that the princess has opened a new store called "Parent-Child Shop"..."
