The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Anxia was telling ghost stories again.

But Tang Songlin was a man, naturally more courageous than a woman, and sneered, "Little trick! What did you do to your step-grandmother?"

Shi Anxia did not hide it and answered every question, very obediently, "I didn't do anything. I just asked someone to dress up as my grandmother and ask her for her dowry in the middle of the night. She felt guilty and was naturally scared, so she returned all the dowry."

Tang Songlin: “!!!”

Then Anxia said, "Oh, and she killed my aunt's baby with the 'Broken Bone Incense', so I asked her to eat the 'Broken Bone Incense' as well. Do you think she has bone pains lately?"

Tang Songlin suddenly felt a chill on the soles of his feet.

What horrified him was not the torture that Zhu had suffered, but the fact that his granddaughter spoke of such cruel and destructive methods in an innocent and well-behaved tone.

What horrified him even more was that she told him everything without reservation. What did this mean?

This means that she is too disdainful to use similar methods again, and she has more terrifying plans waiting for him.

That's right, Shi Anxia decided to take advantage of everyone being here today to get this done. But to do this, there needs to be a capable person around.

She glanced to the side and found that Cen Yuan had disappeared at some point.

She smiled slightly, thinking how rare it was to have someone in this world who could think the same as her without any explanation.

In their previous lives, they must have cooperated so well with each other.

It seems that getting married early is the right move. They can often walk together without any suspicion in the future. It is convenient to do things, how great.

"Grandfather, please sit down for a while." Shi Anxia ordered, "Nan Yan, serve tea."

Not only Tang Songlin didn't understand this operation, even Tang Chuyu and Tang Chujun didn't understand it.

Several people sat down in confusion, each with their own thoughts, and tacitly no one mentioned the matter of the Ming family's money again.

Tang Songlin sat down gloomily and drank his tea. He suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming here. He wanted to find out about his daughter's divorce. How did he bring up the topic of Ming family's money?

But at this moment, he was in a bad mood and didn't have the energy to settle accounts with his daughter. He was wondering what his granddaughter was up to.

Both Tang Chuyu and his sister believed that Shi Anxia had made arrangements, so they did not ask any further questions and just drank their tea.

It was Shi Anxia who confessed the truth herself, "Let's take a break first. Let's wait for someone to come. My husband has gone to invite someone."

Tang Chujun asked casually, "Who is it?"

Shi Anxia gave her a reassuring look, "That's definitely something that can be said."

The one who can talk to the Duke of Huguo... Tang Chujun was shocked, "Are you going to alarm the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?"

Tang Songlin sneered in his heart. He was not afraid of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion!

The daughter of Duke Dingguo is still in the Duke Huguo Mansion! Who is afraid of who?

Tang Chujun determined that it was the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so he didn't think too much about it. In the blink of an eye, he squeezed in and sat down next to his daughter under his father's nose, and asked quietly, "Were you listening outside just now?"

Shi Anxia glanced at her grandfather and smiled, which made him feel creepy. Then he nodded and said, "You performed very well. You memorized it very well."

Tang Chujun was a little annoyed, "I even forgot a few powerful sentences! If you give me another chance, I can recite them better and more completely."

Shi Anxia looked at her mother who was becoming more and more childish, and her heart softened. She coaxed her, "It's already complete, but you shouldn't let your grandfather slap you."

She reached out and touched her mother's face, feeling heartbroken.

Tang Chujun held her daughter's hand and said tenderly, "It's okay, I'll beat you, it won't hurt much..." As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned red.

I feel wronged!

Tang Songlin: "..."

Although he couldn't hear what the mother and daughter said, he was sure that his daughter was complaining to his granddaughter.

He was inexplicably nervous... What the hell! I'm a father, I can beat him if I want, even if I beat him to death, what's the big deal?

Just when he was stealing a glance at the whispering mother and daughter for the ninth time, Cen Yuan came back.

He looked quite mysterious. He came in and sent away the serving maid first. Then he looked at Shi Anxia and nodded slightly. Then he looked at his mother-in-law Tang Chujun, and walked over to whisper a few words to Tang Chuyu.

Tang Chuyu was originally sitting, but after hearing a few words, he suddenly stood up, looking frightened.

Cen Yuan was calm and turned around and walked out.

When he came in again, he stood by the door, let the other two people go in first, then directed several people to guard the door before slamming it shut.

As soon as he closed the door, Tang Chuyu knelt down and shouted in a low voice, "The emperor has arrived. I am guilty of not welcoming you. I deserve death!"

Shi Anxia supported the bewildered Tang Chujun and knelt down to greet him, "Your Highness, I respectfully welcome you, Father."

Tang Chujun could never have imagined that his daughter and son-in-law would actually invite the emperor. Was he going on a secret visit?

As she thought of this, she quietly raised her head to see what the emperor was wearing, and her eyes met the emperor's.

Ah! I'm so scared! The Emperor is looking at me!

Tang Chujun didn't see anything clearly, so he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, your servant has greeted you!"

Now that she is divorced, she should be restored to being a "servant daughter" instead of a "servant's wife".

She felt happy when she spoke, and Emperor Mingde felt happy when he heard it.

Emperor Mingde tightened his fingers slightly, and his palms began to sweat. The weather was getting hotter, and it was already May.

Tang Songlin was just stunned, feeling as if he had been struck by thunder. However, even if he had been struck by thunder, he would have to kneel down and pay his respects, "I didn't know that the emperor was visiting incognito, and I failed to welcome you. I deserve death."

Emperor Mingde withdrew his deep gaze from Tang Chujun's head and said lightly, "Get up."

Then he sat on the chair and said, "The Duke of Protectorate is here to answer your questions."

Even though Tang Songlin is a Duke, he actually has very few opportunities to meet the Emperor.

In the past, he had almost always been blending in with the officials in the court to do nothing, just to make up the numbers, and he was still the one who lined up at the front during court sessions.

He was not good at literature, and he was even worse at martial arts. As Tang Chujun said, Tang Songlin was the most mediocre one in the Tang family.

Therefore, Tang Songlin was very afraid of Emperor Mingde, for he was afraid that Emperor Mingde would look at him and say that he only collected salary and ate idle meals without doing any work.

As a result, Emperor Mingde really took notice of him, thinking that he was blocking the view and hindering the ministers from speaking, so he stopped him from attending court.

Fortunately, he continued to receive his salary and his title was not stripped, so he was allowed to continue enjoying the honor of being the Duke of Protector of the Country.

A colleague of his said to him, "You have raised a good son." The implication was that he was able to hold the position of Duke of the Protectorate because of his son Tang Chuyu's ability.

Especially since Tang Chuyu became the Minister of Revenue at a young age, this was the first honor in Beiyi.

But Tang Songlin absolutely refused to admit this.

Now, Emperor Mingde called on Tang Songlin to question him. Tang Songlin, who had just stood up, was so frightened that his knees went weak and he knelt down. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

Emperor Mingde did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that when the Hongjiang River burst its dike, the money for disaster relief was given by the Ming family to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"

Tang Songlin hated it!

I hate my granddaughter and her gang so much!

Why should we involve Emperor Mingde in family matters?

Tang Songlin was about to open his mouth to deny it, but he heard Emperor Mingde say, "Think it over before you reply, otherwise you will be punished with death for deceiving the emperor! Immediately!"

As the words "behead immediately" came out, Tang Songlin's whole body collapsed and he fell to the ground.
