The door of Manhua Hall was kicked open with great force.

Tang Chuyu led the way and stood at the door, his eyes burning with anger. Behind him was the tall Cen Yuan and the calm-looking Shi Anxia.

Tang Songlin was startled and his waving hands just hung in the air, unable to continue fighting.

Tang Chujun had originally been able to fight against his father with great fighting power, but when he saw the few people coming in, his spirit immediately collapsed, as if he had just suffered a great injustice.

She was originally white, and half of her face had turned red when Tang Songlin slapped her earlier. Now that her eyes were red, she looked even more pitiful.

Tang Chuyu strode over, stretched out his hand and pulled his sister behind him, staring at his father's hand that was hitting him, and stared at it until the other party slowly put it down, then said coldly, "Is father angry out of shame, or is he desperate?"

When had Tang Songlin ever been humiliated and bullied by his children? He was furious. "Rebellion! You are all rebellious! You all don't respect filial piety and don't know etiquette! These are the good children raised by our family!"

After all, Tang Chuyu grew up following the philosophy of filial piety, and he was very methodical in his actions. "Father, is what my sister said true?"

Tang Songlin felt his face burning from being stared at by his son, "Listen to her nonsense!"

There are some things that cannot be investigated as long as he does not admit them. He glared at his son and said, "If this gets out, I will tell you that you do not value filial piety and respect your parents. I will see how you can be an official!"

Tang Chuyu never knew that his grandparents' family was so wronged.

Since he was a child, his father had not allowed him to have any contact with the Ming family, saying that the Ming family would be sad when seeing him and his sister and would remind them of their dead daughter, so he told them not to add to the Ming family's sorrow.

He believed it. And because he had no contact with the Ming family since he was a child and did not have a deep relationship with them, he did not pay much attention to it.

After hearing this today, he felt extremely guilty and ashamed of the Ming family.

He had to get to the bottom of the matter.

Tang Chuyu said in a deep voice, "If what my sister said is true, I will investigate it thoroughly. Even if I have to be demoted or resign, I will give justice to my grandfather and the Ming family!"

Tang Songlin's heart trembled when he heard this, and he said with a stiff face, "Don't make up stories! Your mother has passed away for a long time, you unfilial sons should not disturb her. And your grandfather is old and can't stand the tossing..."

Tang Chujun poked his head out from behind Tang Chuyu and asked leisurely, "Is it possible that my grandfather has actually been waiting for an explanation his entire life?"

"Shut up!" Tang Songlin looked at Tang Chujun angrily, "Where did you hear these unfounded rumors? And you even use them to slander your own father! Is this your filial piety?"

Filial piety! Filial piety! Just these two words! Although Tang Chujun was angry, he also felt guilty.

Because those words were taught to her by her daughter Shi Anxia, ​​and she wrote them down so that she could memorize them.

As for where Shi Anxia heard it from, how would she know?

Tang Chujun only knew that whatever his daughter said was right and whatever she did was right. Anyway, his daughter was the smartest and there were many talented people around her. Maybe Mr. Yang Xuan had figured it out.

She didn't care whether others believed it or not, she believed it anyway. But it was harder than climbing to the sky to produce evidence. It was because it happened too long ago.

As soon as Tang Songlin saw his daughter's expression, he knew that he had made the right bet.

She has no evidence!

As long as he refuses to admit it, his children will have no way to do anything to him.

Moreover, at this moment, he was very resistant to them. The position of the crown prince could not be given to Tang Chuyu!

Other ideas were already running through his mind, wondering if there was any more obedient son who could be the crown prince.

Those who don’t listen, get out!

Shi Anxia stepped out from behind Tang Chuyu and asked gently, "Grandfather, have you thought it through? Do you really want to not cry until you see the coffin?"

It would have been better if she didn't speak. As soon as she spoke, Tang Songlin immediately knew why his daughter, who had always been confused and timid, suddenly turned from a quail into an eagle.

Finally found the source!

He stood with his hands behind his back, glaring, and snorted, "Do you have evidence?"

Shi Anxia shook her head obediently.

Tang Songlin laughed a few times, arrogant, relieved, and shameless, "Then where did you hear this nonsense from?"

Shi Anxia cast his eyes toward the blue sky outside the window and said softly, "God is watching what we do, Grandfather! Can you honestly say that what my mother said just now was not true?"

Tang Songlin laughed even more arrogantly, "I won't pursue where you heard those unfounded words from. Don't ruin the relationship of a family because of hearsay."

He came to his senses now. The relationship cannot be too awkward. After all, Shi Yunqi and his sister have a promising future, and they still have to talk about their relationship.

The annoying granddaughter in front of me is a princess appointed by the emperor!

He had to act very magnanimous to get over this.

But it was obvious that Shi Anxia was not willing to let the past go. "Once a person has done something, it will leave traces. If you really want to find evidence, you may find it. Grandfather, as long as you admit it and return the money to the Ming family, this matter can be put behind you. Why make such an ugly scene?"

She really had no evidence to prove that the Ming family took the silver and gave it to the Duke of Protectorate to donate to the country for disaster relief.

Tang Chuyu, who was also the Duke of Protectorate in his previous life, met the Ming family by chance. It was after listening to the Ming family talk about the past that he learned the truth.

The old man of the Ming family couldn't close his eyes until he died, and he was still hoping that Tang Songlin would have a change of heart one day and come to visit the Ming family.

Even if they don't return the money or give the title, they should at least say something to acknowledge that the Ming family did make contributions to the country.

But not only did they not get Tang Songlin's words, they were also driven out when they arrived. Tang Songlin also sent people to threaten the Ming family, saying that if they talked nonsense outside, they would be killed without a burial place.

After learning about this, Empress Dowager Shi Anxia conferred titles on the Ming family under other pretexts, thus enabling the Ming family to cross the social class barrier.

Because when the country was in crisis, the Ming family's children followed Tang Xinghe to the battlefield, and almost half of the Ming family's men were killed. Even those who came back alive, few had intact limbs.

But there is no evidence for the fundraising. Unless... Tang Songlin himself can admit everything.

Shi Anxia looked into Tang Songlin's eyes and said, "Grandfather, do you know why my step-grandmother has been sending things to the Marquis' Mansion recently?"

Tang Songlin frowned, "Zhu sent you something?" His heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he had a bad feeling.

It was because he knew Zhu too well. It was easy to take it in, but asking her to take it out was harder than climbing to the sky.

So stingy!

Therefore, it was very strange that Zhu could send things to the Marquis' Mansion.

"That was the dowry that my grandmother left for my mother. I ordered her to pay it back within a month. She gave away a few things and now they are not available. I gave her some time and told her to get them back for me." Shi Anxia raised her eyes and looked at Tang Songlin. "Grandfather, do you know why my step-grandmother suddenly became obedient?"

Tang Songlin was shocked by the deep eyes of his granddaughter and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"Because..." Shi Anxia dragged out the last word, "Recently my grandmother has been looking for her and asking her to return the dowry."
