Chapter 803 It's Really Your Retribution

Tang shi was poked at the sore spot, turned around and left, saying: "You should go to the army honestly, you will be a waste anyway if you stay in Beijing."

Tang Lei scolded behind her: "Tang Wan, you bitch, you know how to be so arrogant and domineering in front of your family!"

***
Meng Shu raised her baby in the backyard, so she really didn't know anything about the outside world.

Xu Mao would think of tricks to make her happy every day, he thought, this was more interesting to him than playing with birds.

It wasn't until the Duke's mansion ransacked the house that he finally couldn't hide it and let Meng Shu know.

Meng Shu asked, "Why did you keep it from me and not tell me?"

Xu Maodao: "So what can I tell you? Your good sister who is the prince's side concubine doesn't care about it. When will you get you? I heard that when your mother went to beg her, she closed the door and turned your mother away." It came out, tsk tsk."

Meng Shu stared at him, and said with red eyes: "From the beginning to the end, I have never seen my mother, what is the difference between me and her!"

Xu Mao said: "Of course there is a difference. Your sister doesn't see your mother by herself, but you, I don't let you see her."

Meng Shu was so angry that she slammed the door and closed it when she entered the room.

Xu Mao linked his hands, looked at the closed door, and said to himself: "After she got pregnant, she has quite a temper."

He didn't get angry, but walked to the door, and said: "Even if you know about this, you can't do anything about it. The emperor is annoyed. Your uncle gambled openly with tributes in the gambling house, and was caught as an official." So, no matter what, you can’t get rid of the crime. But he is still alive, why, it’s not because our father tried his best to help, but also offended the emperor. It’s good to keep one of your grandfather and your uncle.”

Meng Shu listened in the room, unable to stop crying.

Xu Mao knocked on the door a few times and said, "Be good, open the door quickly."

Meng Shu didn't respond.

Xu Mao said quickly: "At any rate, you used to live there in the Duke's Mansion. Now that you have copied it, there are many things in it that you can recall. If you want to get it back, you can continue to dawdle like this." , I don't care."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Shu opened the door quickly, looked at him tearfully, and said, "Do you have a solution?"

Xu Maodao: "Don't think about the valuable items, you can think of a way for the worthless ones."

Simply what Meng Shu mentioned to Xu Mao was not valuables, but some old things from the girl's house that she left behind when she lived in the Duke's Mansion when she was a child.Later, after she moved out of the Duke's Mansion with the Tang family, thinking that she might have to go back to live for a few days from time to time in the future, those old things were kept in her room in the Duke's Mansion.

After Xu Mao wrote down what she wanted, he hurried out of the house.

Meng Shu stared blankly at his back, never thinking that one day he would indulge herself like this.

This time, Xu Mao didn't come back until evening.

He said to Meng Shu: "Don't worry, no one wants your old things. I will let people watch them. After a few days, when the limelight subsides, I will send them to you."

Tears welled up in Meng Shu's eyes.

Xu Mao said with a straight face, "Still crying."

Meng Shu took a breath and said, "I want to go to my grandfather's funeral."

Xu Mao categorically refused: "No. Can you go to that kind of place while you're pregnant?"

***
Even though Duke Qing pleaded guilty and died, the emperor did not prevent his descendants from holding funerals for him.

In the mourning hall built by the Tang family in the old house of the Tang family, very few people came to express their condolences.

Xu Mao was one of them.

At that time, Xu Mao grandly stepped into the gate of the old house, entered the mourning hall, stood in front of Qing Guogong's spirit, and burned three sticks of incense.

The Tang family no longer had the strength to argue, so they said in a weak voice: "Why, Meng Shu married into your Xu family, and now she doesn't even recognize her ancestors, and even her grandfather refuses to come to see her off on the last journey?"

Xu Mao said: "It's inconvenient for her to have a baby. I put this incense on her behalf. If you say that she doesn't recognize her ancestors, then your precious little girl may forget her last name." They were both born to you, you can't ask for this one, but let the other one go, just because she is my Xu Mao's wife, in your opinion, she is very worthless?"

Tang shi burned the paper money and said, "What else can she do."

Xu Mao laughed and said, "Then what you get now is really your retribution. Your father and brother should be dead."

Tang's movement paused, Xu Mao had already walked away, and said again: "Next time, you can point at your precious little daughter. Meng Shu is from my Xu family, you have sold her to me a long time ago Well, thanks to your face."

When Xu Mao was far away, Tang came to his senses belatedly, with a sad face and weeping loudly.

She didn't expect that Xu Mao would make her promise later.

***
When Tang Lei arrived on the distribution day, he was urged to leave Beijing directly from the prison, and went straight to the bitter cold frontier.

Two servants were assigned from above to take him to the border.

Tang Lei walked out of the gate of the capital with shackles on his hands and feet. He couldn't help but stop and look back. He saw the towering city gate as majestic as a mountain, and the prosperity of the city was still the same. However, these things in the future have nothing to do with him.

At the beginning, he also passed the imperial examination and got involved in the officialdom.The third rank, Jing Zhaoyin, is like a fish in water, how many people come and go to him depends on his face.

Looking back, it seems like it was just yesterday.

The guard pushed him very rudely, and said in a bad tone: "I've finished watching it, and you still think about coming back in the future? Go away! Otherwise, you will have to sleep in the countryside before dark!"

After walking outside Beijing for a few days, about 100 miles away, there was a sound of horseshoes behind me one day.

Tang Lei and the two guards couldn't help looking back, and saw a person galloping here on horseback.

The two guards immediately pulled out their sabers and made a warning.

The man rode his horse back and forth, and reined in just in time.The guard asked coldly, "Who is here?"

The man got off his horse with a very good attitude. He looked at Tang Lei and said, "You two officials, the younger one was entrusted by this gentleman's friend to bring him some warm clothes."

friend?Tang Lei really couldn't think of any other friends he had in Beijing.

Those casual acquaintances and official friends in the past all avoided him after his downfall, let alone now that he was sent to the frontier, who would care about him?

As the man spoke, he took off the burden on his shoulders and handed it to two guards for inspection.

The guard opened it and saw that it was indeed two cold clothes and a letter.

The guard opened the letter again to check, and it was indeed a greeting letter between friends.

When the man inspected by the guards, he tactfully handed over some money to the two of them.After receiving the money, the guard graciously accommodated and handed the burden and letter to Tang Lei.

Tang Lei thanked the man, and the man got on his horse and went back on the road.

Tang Lei hugged his clothes, and then slowly opened the letter to read.

However, upon seeing this, his complexion changed drastically, and even the hand holding the letter paper trembled uncontrollably.

The ordinary greeting above made him extremely excited.

He stood up abruptly, looking at the figure riding away, and the next moment he was desperate to chase after him.

PS: It is said that Brother Chou Mao actually has backup...
