Chapter 26
Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!
C26 The Son of a Spendthrift
When Yueyang Marquis returned that day, Marquisâs Wife immediately told him about this matter. Of course, she did not openly complain. She only said worriedly, âYueâer is young after all. Being kind is a good thing, but how can people like us be kind? This is just teaching a servant who has committed a mistake a lesson. If we have enmity with the previous world in the future, What can we do with such kindness?
Yueyang Marquis himself was a general, and he killed his enemies on the battlefield. His hands were stained with blood, so he naturally would not be a kind person. At the same time, he didnât want his son to be a little bunny.
A little bunny was cute, but it would always be eaten by the big bad wolf.
He gathered the guards who went out today. After understanding the situation, he came to the same conclusion as Tang Yue.
âTodayâs matter is either aimed at Yueyang Marquisâs Mansion or Prince Zhaoâs Mansion. No matter what, we have to investigate it thoroughly.â
âYes.â
Yueyang Marquis only asked about how Tang Yue dealt with the coachman after Yueyang Marquis had finished his task. The answer he got was naturally the same as Marquisâs Wifeâs.
âA family slave. Not only does he have to take a vacation, but he also needs someone to take care of him?â Yueyang Marquis frowned so much that he could pinch a fly to death. What did his sonâs heart do? Could it be cotton?
âAnd he had to get medicine for him? He even needs to use the familyâs treasured medicinal wine? â Yueâer really said so? â Yueyang Marquis really had the urge to curse at this time. How could such a prodigal son give this family to him in the future?
He asked where Tang Yue was and ran over in anger, planning to teach his son a good lesson. It was his fault that he did not educate his son well in the past. He could not do this in the future.
After entering Tang Yueâs yard, Yueyang Marquis smelled a fragrance from the tip of his nose. He followed the fragrance to the kitchen and saw that his son was directing the maid to make something delicious.
Yueyang Marquisâs heart full of parenting scriptures had been replaced by delicious food. He asked, âYueâer, what delicious food are you cooking? It smells so good! â
Tang Yue pointed to a plate of meat on the plate. âI fried some fish and chicken strips.â
Yueyang Marquis walked closer and saw that the oil in the pot was boiling. The pieces of meat were rolling in the pot. The fragrance assailed his nose.
He pinched a small fried fish and stuffed it into his mouth. It was boiling hot. His tongue was almost cooked, but he could not bear to spit it out. After he swallowed it whole, Yueyang Marquis only had two feelings: fragrance and crispness.
Tang Yue chose the small grouper fish and marinated it with salt and yellow wine. It was wrapped in a layer of egg white and rolled a circle of wood chips powder. After it was cooked, he could not even feel the bones and could directly swallow it.
The method of chicken strips was similar, and the one he chose was the most tender chicken. After it was fried, it was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It was Tang Yueâs favorite snack in the past.
Unfortunately, there was no chili powder or cumin powder. Otherwise, the taste would definitely be better.
Tang Yue knew that his cheap dad would not come to find him for no reason. Thinking about what happened today, he felt that it was necessary to give a deep explanation. So he got the waitress to dress up and eat a small plate of food. He took a pot of wine and invited Yueyang Marquis to the yard to talk about it in detail.
âDoes Father know what happened today?â Tang Yue poured a cup of wine for him and asked lightly.
Yueyang Marquis nodded and briefly repeated what he heard from the butler and Marquisâs Wife. He then blamed him for being too soft-hearted. His family servant had made a mistake and almost killed his master. This was a serious crime and it was not excessive to beat him to death.
Which family in Ye City did not handle matters like this? If news of Tang Yueâs matter spread, good people would praise him for being kind. Most likely, they would scold him for being weak. They would not even dare to punish a family servant.
Tang Yue smiled nonchalantly. âFather is serious. The cause of the incident hasnât been determined yet. Itâs not good to jump to conclusions. Father still needs to send someone to investigate how that horse went crazy.
âBesides, heâs just a servant. He can deal with it whenever he wants. The most important thing right now was how to repay Wang Zizhaoâs kindness. How was he going to repay the three hundred gold coins that Wang Zizhao offered?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Hu Jinpeng was the one who saved Wang Zizhao, judging from his relationship with Wang Zizhao, he was afraid that he would have to return all of this to Wang Zizhao.
Yueyang Marquis was brought away from the topic and nodded in agreement. âYou are right. This is a great favor. Tomorrow, Father will personally visit to thank you. As for the three hundred goldâ¦â If news of him, a duke, bringing three hundred gold coins to Prince Zhaoâs Mansion spread, it would definitely be criticized.
Even if everyone knew that he did this for the sake of gratitude, this method was too vulgar.
âYou said that Wang Zizhao personally asked for three hundred gold coins as remuneration?â Yueyang Marquis asked in confusion.
âYes, but there is a reason.â Tang Yue told him what happened when he met him in the temple. He only wanted to cut ties with him and did not want him to owe him a favor. He did not expect that he would be punished so soon.
Yueyang Marquis knew about this. He frowned and thought for a moment. âIf thatâs the case, you will come to my house with me tomorrow. Three hundred gold coins will be fine. Change it to ten high-quality horses and ten beauties. The value is only high and not low.â
Tang Yue facepalmed. âDo you think Wang Zizhaoâs current condition is suitable for delivering horses and beauties?â
He was a man with crippled legs. He could not ride a horse. Even if he had a beauty, he would not be able to ride a horse. No, this gift was like adding a knife to someoneâs wound.
Moreover, with the other partyâs age, he was not afraid that the other party would not be able to take it even if he gave so many beauties. How did his fatherâs EQ survive?
Yueyang Marquis also realized this and laughed awkwardly. âItâs my fatherâs fault. Then what should I give to him according to Yueâerâs wishes?â
Tang Yue actually wanted to take this opportunity to treat Wang Zizhaoâs injury. If he could cure Wang Zizhaoâs leg, not only would he be able to save his life, but he would also be able to let Yueyang Marquisâs Mansion get close to Prince Zhaoâs Mansion.
However, he wouldnât say these words now, so he thought for a while and said, âWhy donât we give precious jade artifacts, or a manor or something, and some small things that we made ourselves? It would seem more sincere.â
âThatâs fine.â Yueyang Marquis was recalling what jade artifacts he had at home that he could take out. The butler entered the house and informed them that dinner was ready. The father and son looked at each other, and then went to the dining hall together.
On the way, Tang Yue hesitated for a while and asked about Noble Heir of State Duke Heng.
âHas Father seen Noble Heir of State Duke Heng? I heard that he is engaged to Ya and will get married next year.â
Yueyang Marquis stopped in his tracks and looked a little embarrassed, âHave you seen him today?â
Tang Yue nodded and described what happened when he saw that damn fatty. The main point was his laziness and laziness.
âFather, this kind of person is really not a good match!â
Yueyang Marquis sighed. âI naturally know, but this marriage was arranged by your grandfather when he was around. At that time, both children were young, and State Duke Heng owed your grandfather a favor, which was why he had this marriage. Counting it, it is still our Marquisâs Mansion who is on good terms with each other.â
âThen can we not accept this favor?â A high social status or something like that? Let it go to hell!
âThe marriage has been decided. What about Yaâs reputation if the marriage is annulled?â Yueyang Marquis saw that his son did not agree and explained, âApart from this reason, father also has other considerations.â
Tang Yue thought that he was going to say something that would benefit the family, so he thought about refuting his words, waiting for him to speak.
âNoble Heir of State Duke Heng is famous for being incompetent and incompetent among all the young masters of Ye City. He is also known for being lecherous and rude. Although such a person doesnât do anything, with his family background, he will definitely be rich for the rest of his life.â
âItâs hard to say. The world is unpredictable.â Tang Yue curled his lips and said.
âIt is inevitable that such an incompetent person would not be able to do anything, but he would not do anything evil, so he does not need to worry about the destruction of the family.â
The meaning was that even a fool like him wouldnât have the intelligence to commit a heinous crime!
Tang Yue was actually unable to refute.
âMadam State Duke Heng died young. Ya married and became the matriarch. Her husband was incompetent and lecherous. It was impossible for her to live a good life, but she could live a good life.â
âNo matter how rich or unhappy she is, it is useless.â Tang Yue felt that the happiest thing for a woman was to marry a man who loved her.
Yueyang Marquis glanced at him and thought to himself, This son is really too innocent.
âI know what you mean. If there is a talented Humble Class kid who can work hard and improve, it will be good for Ya. Do you think that marrying such a person is a blessing?â
Tang Yue thought about it seriously. âAlthough he does not come from a good family, he is talented and willing to work hard. With the help of Yueyang Marquisâs Mansion, it is not a problem for him to get an official and a half position. Although he may not be rich or rich, he is sure that he will be able to live a good life.â
Yueyang Marquis shook his head and said, âYou are thinking too well. A person who needs the help of Yueyang Marquisâs Mansion to climb up. One day, his power will surpass Marquisâs Mansion. Marquisâs Mansion will lose its deterrent force. Will he still treat Ya well?â
âWhy not? It is the Marquisâs Mansion who helped him. He should treat Ya better.â Tang Yue said so, but he did not think so in his heart. It was okay for men to suffer together, but it was hard to get rich together.
Many men started to spend their money after they had money. Their lovers, Xiao Mi, changed one after another. The yellow-faced women in the family could not satisfy their sexual interests any longer.
No matter how beautiful or charming the flowers were, there would be a day when they would wilt.
