Second marriage to the regent

"Old madam, the Marquis has been waiting outside for more than an hour. Do you want the Marquis to come in?"

The eldest maid watched the wind outside gradually getting stronger, and Tang Zhili was standing in the courtyard again. She had been tired from running around these days, and if she was infected with the wind and cold again, it would be over for the Marquis Mansion.

"Hmph! He did something that made all the ancestors of the Tang family unable to hold their heads high, and yet he still has the nerve to see the old woman?" Old Mrs. Tang's face turned red with anger, and she angrily shouted: "Isn't he very capable? Then let him keep waiting! Let’s see how long he can hold on!”

"But..." The eldest maid was really worried that Tang Zhili's body couldn't bear it, and wanted to continue to plead for Tang Zhili, but she obediently shut her mouth as soon as Mrs. Tang looked at her.

About an hour later, Tang Zhili was still waiting in the courtyard for Old Mrs. Tang to see him.

The wind blew loudly in the courtyard, and everyone was worried.

Soon, the wind stopped suddenly, and then the heavy rain began.

Because everything was so sudden, when the boy came to Tang Zhili with an umbrella, he was already half wet from the rain.

Seeing that the rain was so heavy, the eldest maid once again risked being scolded and said: "You know the temper of Mr. Hou. If you don't see him today, I'm afraid you will keep waiting in the rain. Now the Hou Mansion is no longer what it used to be. , if even the Marquis falls, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion will really be over!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Tang's face changed slightly. The maid knew that her words were effective, so she continued: "Master Marquis and Madam Li can only say that they have a deep love, and feelings are beyond human control." Yes, if Madam is gone, you can just find someone to take care of the Marquis! If the Marquis is gone, who do you think will take care of this huge family property?"

Mrs. Tang's heart changed from being touched at first to being strongly shaken.

"Let him come in and see me." Mrs. Tang said in a low voice.

Seeing that Mrs. Tang was finally willing to let go, the maid felt relieved and immediately led Tang Zhili inside.

Looking at Tang Zhili's half-wet clothes, Mrs. Tang's heart trembled. Seeing her grandson in such miserable condition, she would be lying if she said she didn't feel sorry for him.

"Bring Mr. Marquis a cloak, don't let him catch the cold." Mrs. Tang couldn't bear it after all.

"Yes, old lady." The eldest maid responded.

The eldest maid had already ordered someone to bring a cloak, and after Mrs. Tang gave the order, she had someone put it on for Tang Zhili.

"Grandma." Tang Zhili lost his usual high spirits and became more melancholy.

Tang Zhili, who originally valued his appearance the most, now stood in front of her with a stubble on his face.

So many things happened but she kept putting pressure on him. Thinking of this, Mrs. Tang suddenly felt that she was not a human being. She had been unwilling to admit Tang Zhili's excellence. This made her not close to Ye, even though Tang Zhili was also very outstanding. .

"Grandma kept you waiting outside for so long, do you have any resentment?" She never recognized his achievements, fearing that she had long hated herself.

Tang Zhili's eyes were a little surprised and he shook his head: "Grandma misunderstood. Zhili has never resented grandma. This is my grandson's fault, so I accept how grandma punishes her grandson."

Mrs. Tang looked very distressed. When she saw the maid coming in with ginger tea, she immediately said to Tang Zhili: "Drink some of the newly made ginger tea to warm yourself up."

"Thank you, mistress." Tang Zhili smiled and took the bowl handed over by the maid.

"You really don't blame grandma in your heart?" Old Mrs. Tang still had some doubts about Tang Zhili's words.

Tang Zhili took a sip of soup and replied with firm eyes: "My grandson's words are true. I hope grandma can rest assured."

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang stopped talking about meaningless topics and began to care about Tang Zhili's health: "You have been very tired recently. Take a good rest for a few days and let others do the things in the court."

Mrs. Tang was really worried that if Tang Zhili collapsed, how could she, a person over fifty years old, support the family?

Seeing that Mrs. Tang cared about him, Tang Zhili felt warm in his heart and responded with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not tired. The emperor attaches great importance to his grandson these days, so I can't let the emperor think that I am a pushover and unwilling to face difficulties head-on."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tang felt that what she said was reasonable, but she still advised: "Even so, you should pay more attention to your health. Grandma is also old. If you are sick, I am afraid that grandma won't be able to help you much."

Tang Zhili obviously understood Mrs. Tang's physical condition and comforted her: "The doctor said that grandma needs to rest. When you feel better, your grandson will take you out for a walk." "Okay." Old Mrs. Tang agreed with a smile. .

Late at night, a violent storm raged in Kyoto.

"Master, the current situation is not good for us. But Tianzhao has been too calm these days. Should we do something?" Li Wanwan looked at her master and then at the huge Kyoto, thinking in her heart It looks unpleasant.

The man just glanced at Li Wanwan, and she immediately shut her mouth.

Kyoto is too quiet these days, which makes the man feel a little anxious.

"Tonight, you can do whatever you want." The man said coldly.

Li Wanwan's eyes instantly lit up, and he was so excited that he could finally fulfill his wish.

"Thank you, Master!" As soon as Li Wanwan finished speaking, he jumped down from the attic and disappeared into the rainy night.

The man stood quietly in the attic, and saw the rain getting heavier and heavier. Knowing that he could not stay too long, he turned around and disappeared into the rainy night.

The attic was empty, with only the cold wind blowing from time to time.

Tonight's rainy night is bound to be an unforgettable night, a night that can once again attract the attention of the court.

The next day, as the sun was just rising, the notice boards on the street were covered with notices.

Tianshuang stepped forward and took a closer look, and was dumbfounded.

It was clearly written on the notice board that last night, thirteen families were killed overnight, with no one left alive.

"What kind of person is this, so cruel and cruel!"

"I heard that the Ye family and the Bai family are big families. There are at least fifty or sixty people in the house. Why are they all dead!"

"Isn't that right! When the official took the body out early this morning, the scene was simply shocking and unbearable to watch."

Such adjectives made Tian Shuang feel chills running down his spine. He immediately pulled the elder brother and asked, "How did those people die?"

When the eldest brother saw Tianshuang, a woman, he was afraid of scaring her, so he refused to answer: "That scene was too bloody. It's better for you, a woman, not to know."

Tianshuang had no choice but to let go of his eldest brother after hearing this, thinking that he should go and inquire more.

When Su Junxi saw Li Junyi's ugly face at the palace, he knew something had happened again.

She was not in a hurry to ask what happened, but brought the tea to his study and stayed with him quietly.

Li Junyi picked up the brush and started writing, but he was so upset that even the writing in his usual study room was a little hard to read.

"Let's have a cup of tea first." Seeing his state, Su Junxi was also very worried.

Li Junyi knew that if he didn't control his heart, he might do something irrational, so he persuaded her: "It's slipping outside today. You stay in the room, move less, and take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Su Junxi responded softly.

Li Junyi finished the tea: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
