Chapter 235
Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!
C235 â Transformation
Tang Yue and the others returned to Ye City in a daze. They were already tired and exhausted. They went straight to bed and slept for two days before they came back to their senses.
The butler came in with a large stack of books and read in Tang Yueâs ear: âYou have been gone for a few months. You havenât even had a decent year. When you are better, letâs invite some guests to have a good time.â
Tang Yue leaned back on the bed and asked the butler to put the ledger on the chair next to the bed. He waved his hand and said, âDonât bother. The war is tight now, and everything will be simplified.â
âThatâs true. Every family has kept a low profile this year. They donât have many banquets. Even the wedding celebration isnât big. Every day outside the city gate, there is a family giving porridge. When the king heard that, he was very happy. young master, when will the Crown Princeâs Palace set off for a few days?â
Tang Yue took out a ledger and flipped through it. There was nothing to see. He looked up and asked, âAre there a lot of refugees from Ye City?â
âNo. Ye City is too far from the war zone. The refugees could not come here for a while. It was just that there were a few snowfalls before and after the New Yearâs Day. Some of the disaster victims in the vicinity ended up on the streets.â
âIs it serious?â
âItâs not serious. Compared to the heavy snow five years ago, it was light. Every year when it snows, people will inevitably suffer.â
âThen thereâs no need. Our food needs to be used by the soldiers first. Ask our shop to produce some cloth and cotton clothes to send some clothes to the disaster victims.â
âYes, this old servant will go and give orders in a moment.â The butler carefully observed Tang Yueâs expression and secretly decided that he would go to the kitchen later and ask them to make some soup for young master to replenish his energy. He seemed to have lost weight after a few months of tiredness.
The young master seemed to have grown taller, but he had also lost weight. His Highness was really cruel. How could he bear to bring such a young child to the battlefield?
âRight. State Protector had passed away years ago. The king had taken back the title of State Protector Prefecture, saying that he wanted to give it to those who had made great contributions after the war.
Tang Yue was stunned and asked in surprise,â How did he die? â
He had treated State Protector. Although he knew that his health was not very good, as long as he took care of his health, he would be able to live for more than ten years.
âWhat you said is a bit dirty to your ears. After State Protector took his wife off, Without the mistress of the household, it is naturally not possible. â Thus, he hired a concubine from the earlâs manor to fill in the room. How would he know that the wife already had someone in her heart? After marrying into State Dukeâs Mansion, he actually met his lover at night and was caught and raped by State Duke in bed. The mistress of the mistress anxiously pushed State Duke and knocked him into the corner of the table.
Tang Yue sighed and said, âSanlangâs mother was pushed back and still canât walk normally. This can be considered as retribution for his evil deeds.â
âWho wouldnât say that? Now, the Zhao family is the head of the Shu familyâs eldest son. I heard that once State Protector died, he moved out of the family and chased the other brothers out of the family. Isnât this a bit too much?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Yue said expressionlessly, âWe donât care about the Zhao familyâs matters. Whether it is good or bad, it has nothing to do with us.â
The butler nodded. If the Zhao family had not experienced such a series of changes, and if Young Master Xian was still in the Zhao family, young master would definitely help him inherit the title, and he would not end up being stripped of the title.
He really deserved it!
âSanlang should not know about this yet, right?â
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, âI donât think so, but that lady must have gotten the news. I sent Yangu to take care of her for a while. Iâm afraid she wonât take it seriously.â
Tang Yue praised, âYou did well. Let Yangu go and take a walk more often when she has time. If you need anything, feel free to mention it. Sanlang is not here, so his mother must take good care of him.â
âI understand.â The butler called someone in to help Tang Yue wash and change his clothes. Then, he went out to do some work.
Just as Tang Yue finished changing his clothes, Yanguâs voice came from outside the door. She did not enter the house but stood in the yard instead. She even brought two servants with her. Clearly, she took into account Tang Yueâs gender and did not want to let the public know.
âIs something the matter?â Tang Yue did not invite her into the house. Crown Prince Zhao was not in the mansion. Although he could be upright and not be afraid of the shadows, it was best not to be slanted if he could not be slanted.
âThere are some things that I want to talk to young master about. Itâs about the young master.â Yangu looked worried, as if she had encountered some big problem.
When Tang Yue heard that it was related to Little Luoyuan, he quickly asked, âTell me.â
âItâs like this. This servant found that the young master was not in good spirits these two days and could not eat or sleep well.â
âHe has traveled a long distance. He is young, so he must be exhausted. I will ask the butler to invite Imperial Doctor Wu to visit him later. Take good care of him during this period of time. The time spent practicing martial arts is halved. Take good care of him.â
Yangu hesitated for a while and shook her head. âThis servant thought that he was exhausted at first, but the young master is tired, but he doesnât seem to be unwell. Instead, he seems to have something on his mind.â
Tang Yue sighed. He roughly knew what the problem was. It was not that he did not notice Little Luoyuanâs abnormality along the way, but there were some things that he had already experienced. He had to learn how to bear it. At most, he could only guide and divert his attention. He could only rely on himself.
âLetâs go. Iâll go with you to take a look.â Tang Yue told Yangu what had happened in the past few months. Yangu was the concubine of a general. She knew more about war and knew what it meant to a child.
She did not agree with Crown Prince bringing the young master to Qinyang City back then, but her words were soft and she could not make the decision. Now that she saw the young master like this, she did not agree with His Highnessâs decision.
âYoung master is still youngâ¦â Yangu sighed helplessly. His Highness had given their young master such a noble status. If he still wanted to live a happy and comfortable life, he seemed to be a little greedy.
âI know your concerns, but he has his mission. It is not a good thing to protect him too much.â Everyone understood the reason, but if it really happened to their own child, it would not be so easy to accept.
Little Luoyuan had always lived in the yard next to Tang Yue, but every yard in the Crown Princeâs Palace was huge. It would take him a few minutes to walk there.
Little Luoyuanâs yard was more simple. In front of the house, Tang Yue made some toys on a large lawn according to the facilities of the amusement park in his previous life. There was also a small vegetable field that he had personally led Little Luoyuan to plant. It was considered an amateur manual labor class.
âIs he still sleeping?â
âHeâs already up. Heâs practicing writing in the study. Other than sleeping for a long time on the day he came back, he has woken up in less than two days. â Squat for two hours and practice a set of fist techniques. Then he used his breakfast and started to read and write. In the afternoon, he would go to Mr. Wenâs yard to listen to him teach. After dinner, he would make some small things. I only went to sleep after reading an article. â
Tang Yue had been resting for the past two days. He thought Little Luoyuan must be resting as well. He did not expect Little Luoyuan to start studying. He was working too hard.
He pushed open the door of the study room and saw the little child sitting in front of the desk. His back was straight and he was writing.
The brush writing had just started to become fashionable. Practicing calligraphy had become a new fashion. Every year, there would be a calligraphy competition in Ye City to choose the most beautiful and popular ten types of calligraphy. In the future, they would be copied by beginners.
Little Luoyuanâs calligraphy was copied by Crown Prince Zhao, and Crown Prince Zhaoâs calligraphy was ranked first in the first calligraphy competition. Many people were amazed by it.
Of course, this was not without Tang Yueâs guidance. Tang Yueâs calligraphy was not very good, but he knew that the calligraphy was focused on the edges and corners. The strokes were strong and forceful, but not very beautiful.
When Little Luoyuan heard the voice, he looked up. When he saw Tang Yue, he immediately smiled happily. After he finished writing a word, he put down the brush and stood up.
âWeâve been back for two days. Itâs time for us to go to the Palace to see your grandparents.â Tang Yue did not ask, nor did he say that he was too diligent. Changing was a process that could not be rushed.
âReally?â Little Luoyuan clapped his hands excitedly and said, âCan I bring the gifts I bought on the way to the palace?â
âOf course. Your grandmother will like it.â
âWhat about Grandfather?â
âI think he will like it,â Wang Yao said. âAfter all, it was Luoyuan who gave it to him.â
âGrandfather has seen too many good things. Even if he doesnât like Luoyuan, he wonât blame him.â
Tang Yue rubbed his head and picked him up. He asked Yangu to bring his gift and enter the Palace together.
âLittle daddy, Iâve grown up. I can leave by myself.â Little Luoyuan struggled to get down.
He had made many friends in Qinyang City during that time. He had never seen a child his age with parents. They did not even get the care of their parents. Some of them started to work at home when they were five years old.
Tang Yue did not insist and let him go by himself. He was just used to treating him like a child. In fact, he seemed to have really grown up.
Although he was only five years old, his mind had already developed in the direction of a young adult. He was obedient and sensible. He could distinguish right from wrong. Perhaps this was the result Crown Prince Zhao wanted.
