"..." Ji Zhao's mouth was a little stiff, "This, this, um, the queen shouldn't be so unreasonable."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the emperor is afraid of the queen. You think, even the emperor is afraid of her..."

Ji Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How could the emperor be afraid of her!"

Tan Lingyin found that Ji Zhao's reaction was not normal, and she suddenly remembered another thing: this sister Zhao, her husband's surname is Ji, which is the same as the emperor's surname!

Tan Lingyin seemed to have been struck by lightning suddenly, and she was suddenly enlightened. She looked at Ji Zhao and stammered, "You, you, you are not the queen, right?" As she spoke, she shrank to the side indistinctly. Shrink, shrink again.

"Don't be afraid..." Ji Zhao's voice was soft and gentle, like comforting a frightened animal.

As soon as she said that, Tan Lingyin ran directly to the room and huddled in the corner, "Ah, ah, you are really the queen!"

"Shh—" Ji Zhao made a silent gesture, apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide you. It's just... you understand?"

Tan Lingyin nodded like pounding garlic.

"Why don't we go to bed first, how about lying on the bed and chatting?" Ji Zhao stretched the quilt, "How do you want to sleep?"

"I want to sleep on my knees."

"..."

Tan Lingyin couldn't fall asleep on her knees in the end, Ji Zhao pulled her to lie down on the bed, and took the initiative to lie outside. How dare Tan Lingyin let the empress sleep outside, what if she falls? What if someone sneaks up? What if Tangtang woke up in the middle of the night and found that this person's breath was a little strange and took a bite...

So Tan Lingyin just lay outside, and the two dug into a bed.

When a person lays down, his heartbeat will slow down, and his emotions will gradually calm down. Tan Lingyin had a big heart, so she was less shocked after accepting this fact.

Tan Lingyin found that this was actually a good thing. Qingchen's own sister was the queen, so he was the uncle of the country? Let's see who dares to bully him in the future!

She was happy.

The two of them were very excited, and neither of them could fall asleep, so they lay in the bed and whispered for a long time, chatting and chatting and found that the two of them were quite throwing their temper. Tan Lingyin found that the queen had no air at all, she was quite open, and she had a lot of fun talking. In short, she was a very nice person, not like a tigress at all.

Tan Lingyin was a little emotional. She actually shared the bed with the Empress, this is the only treatment for the emperor. She felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

The two slept late the day before, and they were lazy the next day. On a winter morning, it is a torture to let people climb out of their warm blankets.

Qingchen came to the county office early in the morning to find Tan Nengwen and his wife. He wanted to tell them that he had found his relatives.

Tan Nengwen said that he didn't see him because of his illness, and it was Mrs. Tan who received him. Qingchen was a little strange.

In fact, Tan Nengwen had no choice. He really wanted to get rid of Qingchen, but he couldn't bear to say cut off contact in front of the child, so he had to let his wife do it. In a word of conscience, Tan Nengwen didn't spend much money to raise Qingchen, but Qingchen did a lot for his family, and the Tan family still made a lot of money. Tan Nengwen didn't want to do too much, so he left Qingchen a severance payment of five hundred taels of silver, and asked his wife to give it to Qingchen together. He knew his wife's stubborn spleen, and in order to ensure that she would give the money to Qingchen, he said a few harsh words.

When Mrs. Tan saw Qingchen, she was very kind, which made Qingchen even more strange. He fell on her hand and almost killed him, and he has been on guard against this woman ever since.

"Qingchen, your uncle has discussed it with me. As the saying goes, a man should be self-confident. He can control you for a while, but he can't control you for the rest of your life. You have been in Tan's house all these years, and we have been holding you, and it should have been released. .You're an adult now, and it's time for you to stand on your own, I mean..."

If Qingchen wasn't a mute, she would definitely cut her a sentence now: Please speak normally...

Mrs. Tan came from a small family, and usually speaks straightforwardly, at least she can understand. Once she gets up to speak, she is always upside down, and only those who know her well can understand what she means.

Qingchen understood that she wanted to drive him away, which should have been instructed by her foster father. He sign language: Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble.

Mrs. Tan asked again, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

Qingchen: I will probably go to the capital.

Yesterday, my sister had told him that their home was in Beijing.

Mrs. Tan only thought that Tan Qingchen wanted to rely on Tan Lingyin all her life. Regarding this point, she was a little secretive and a little unwilling. What she felt was that Tan Lingyin couldn't tear off the dog skin plaster. What she didn't feel was that Tan Lingyin was so kind to such a foreigner, but she was indifferent to her own younger brother. Xiaobao can't count on it in the future. What about her!

Tan Qingchen has always enjoyed the protection of Tan Lingyin, which makes Mrs. Tan particularly uneasy. She paused and said, "You have been in the Tan family for so many years, eating and drinking from the Tan family, you can't just pat your butt and leave..."

Qingchen: I will remember the grace of the Tan family.

Mrs. Tan rolled her eyes, "What's the use of just remembering, how are you going to repay your uncle?"

Qingchen: How do you want me to repay?

"We have raised you for so long, and it cost a lot of money. You can think about it. How about one thousand taels of silver?"

At this point, today's conversation can be summed up in one sentence: Give us one thousand taels of silver, and we will cut off contact.

Qingchen went to Tan Lingyin to discuss. He was actually a little lost. After all, he took the Tan family in charge, but his existence did make it easy for people to worry that he would steal their property. From this perspective, it would not be a bad idea to break up early and draw a clear line.

As soon as Tan Lingyin heard this, she was so angry that she slapped the table and wanted to scold Mrs. Tan.

Qingchen stopped her quickly, he didn't want to provoke her to fight.

Tan Lingyin suddenly patted her head, "Oh, I'm so stupid! Qingchen, it's okay, it's broken! Sooner or later, they will regret it!"

She turned out the small treasury, counted one thousand taels of silver notes, thought about it, put down one of them, weighed the same amount of cash, and then dragged Qingchen to the south study in a hurry.

Mrs. Tan was coaxing her son in the courtyard. Tan Lingyin kicked the door with a bang, startling the host and maidservants in the courtyard.

Even Tan Nengwen heard the movement and came out of the room. Seeing the menacing Tan Lingyin, his face sank, "What are you doing!"

Tan Lingyin originally wanted to throw the silver on her father's face, but then she thought that hitting the silver on her face would definitely hurt, and she couldn't bear it... So she decisively threw the silver note and the silver onto Mrs. Tan.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Tan exclaimed in pain.

"This is one thousand taels of silver. From then on, Qingchen has nothing to do with the Tan family. Everything is as you wish."

Tan Nengwen looked at the money in one place, "what do you mean?"

Tan Lingyin gave her father a cold look and led Qingchen away.

Tan Nengwen was still wondering, thinking about what his daughter said just now, he suddenly glared at his wife, "Are you asking for money from Qingchen?"

Mrs. Tan clutched the chin that had just been knocked on by Yin Zi, "I, I, I...he wants to give it..."

"You didn't give money to Qingchen, you still asked for money from Qingchen!" Tan Nengwen was trembling with anger, "Do you still have anyone, he's a mute!"

Mrs. Tan replied, "Anyway, you have your precious daughter as a backer."

Tan Nengwen was furious, raised his hand and slapped her heavily.

Snapped!

Mrs. Tan's head was covered, and a pào battle exploded in her ears. She reacted, covering her face and howling in pain.

As soon as the adults cried, the children also cried, "You hit my mother! Hit you! Hit you!" He cried while hitting Tan Nengwen.

Such a good son, even his father dared to beat him. Tan Nengwen laughed angrily, thinking of what the child said yesterday, "the child is not the godfather", he decisively raised his hand and gave Xiaobao a slap in the face. Start teaching well today!

Xiaobao was beaten and fell to the ground, Mrs. Tan pulled him up, and the mother and son sat on the ground together crying. While crying, Mrs. Tan told Tan Nengwen to "kill her".

"Okay!" Tan Nengwen sneered and ordered someone to find a rope to strangle this "prodigal woman".

The people in the courtyard made a fuss. Outside, Tan Lingyin and Qingchen didn't go very far. When they heard crying and shouting in the courtyard, they had to turn back.

Looking at her demented father, Tan Lingyin felt helpless, and stepped forward to stop her and persuade, "You want to beat her to go home and beat her, now you are a guest at someone's house, and when someone says 'home away from home', you really don't think of yourself as a guest. An outsider?"

Tan Nengwen was a little depressed. He picked up all the money on the ground and stuffed it back to Tan Lingyin, "Take the money back, I didn't say Qingchen would pay for it, I don't have that face," he turned over from Mrs. Tan on the ground again. Turning over, he turned out some silver notes, "This was originally for Qingchen, who would have known that this prodigal woman..."

Tan Lingyin pushed back all the money, "Father, I won't get the money back if I give it away. I'm a child, and I sincerely advise you, you didn't know that this woman was on the stage the first time, she did something wrong. , but the root is that someone is used to her. Not only adults, but also children can't be used to the stage."

Tan Nengwen sighed, and suddenly burst into tears.

Tan Lingyin said what she should say and left with Qingchen.

☆、Chapter 68

Tan Lingyin didn't dare to tell Ji Zhao about the farce. She was afraid that the empress would take over the Tan family in a fit of anger when she saw that her younger brother was being bullied. Even if the queen is soft-hearted, doesn't she have a husband who is particularly afraid of his wife...

But even if Tan Lingyin and Qingchen didn't talk about it, this kind of thing could not escape Ji Heng's ears.

Ji Heng was very angry. After finally finding my brother-in-law, Ji Heng couldn't wait to offer Qing Chen up when he saw Ah Zhao so happy, but now someone is angry with him. From this incident alone, it can be inferred what kind of treatment Qingchen received in the Tan family before, no wonder he ran out with Tan Lingyin later.

If others were like this, Ji Heng would definitely teach him a lesson, but the Tan family was kind to Qing Chen after all, and that was Tan Lingyin's biological father, Ji Heng decided not to do it for now. He asked Tang Tianyuan to invite Tan Nengwen and his wife to Tuishitang, and told them that he was bringing his wife to find his brother-in-law, and that Qingchen was Ah Zhao's long-lost brother.

This kind of coincidence is too bizarre, and Tan Nengwen and his wife did not believe it at first, until Ji Heng auctioned 5,000 taels of silver notes to repay Tan Nengwen's kindness to Qingchen.

Tan Nengwen's eyes were straight, he didn't expect that Qingchen would meet such a noble person. This Ji Gongzi shot so generously, he must have a lot of background. Tan Nengwen faintly felt that his decision was a bit rough, for fear of offending people who shouldn't be offended.

Mrs. Tan regretted it very much. Mrs. Tan had her own plans. Although Tan Lingyin is going to marry Gao, this girl always eats inside and out, turns her elbows out, doesn't even care about her own father, and doesn't dare to expect how good she will be to Xiaobao in the future. Moreover, in a family like Shoufu, a young daughter-in-law can't be the master. Therefore, Mrs. Tan is still in the wait-and-see stage, and is not rushing to please Tan Lingyin. The two have been secretly competing for years, and she couldn't hold that face down for a while.

Qingchen is different. The Tan family has always been kind to Qingchen, and it is not too much to repay. Mrs. Tan used to worry that Qingchen stole Xiaobao's furniture, but now she found out that this silent gourd turned out to be a big fat ròu. It turned out that they missed such a great opportunity to repay the favor in vain. Ji Gongzi claimed to be doing business in the capital, and he was so bold as soon as he shot, maybe he was a royal businessman...

The more think about it, the more regret it. Mrs. Tan went back to discuss with Tan Nengwen, should she recognize Qingchen?
