Chapter 140
After Tan Lingyin answered some questions, Madam Tang's expression seemed a little tired, so she said, "Madam, I still have some paperwork to sort out, so please excuse me."
Madam Tang laughed, "It seems that Head Commissioner Tan doesn't want to talk to this old lady."
Tan Lingyin's heart skipped a beat, but there was a calm smile on her face. "Of course not. I'm looking forward to listening to Madam more to broaden my horizon. Madam must be tired after such a long trip. How can I continue to bother you?"
Madam Tang nodded and let her go.
Tan Lingyin slowly stood up and curtsied. She stepped back a few steps and left; her back straight, walking unhurriedly and gracefully.
Looking at her upright back, Tang Tianyuan thought to himself: She was quite good at pretending.
Once Tan Lingyin went out, she patted her chest and sighed exaggeratedly. While walking back to her courtyard, Tan Lingyin recalled her performance just now, hoping she didn’t do anything inappropriate. After a while, she suddenly realized she had forgotten something.
Uhh, she forgot to bring Tang Tang out.
It's impossible for her to go back and look for Tang Tang now. It’s fine, afterall, it wasn’t a tiger's den, there was even jerky there for Tang Tang to enjoy.
Madam Tang ordered all the servants to retreat, leaving her and her son to talk privately.
Tang Tianyuan was teasing Tang Tang with the jerky, when Xianggua passed by him. He raised his head to look at her with calm eyes.
This seemingly casual glance made Xianggua feel as if she had thorns on her back. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Madam Tang knew her son well. When everyone left, she said, "You don't need to blame the servants. Are you dissatisfied with my actions?"
"Of course not. No matter what mother does, it must be for my own good."
These words made Madam Tang feel much more at ease, even the astringent tea didn't taste bad anymore. She took a sip of the tea and saw that Tang Tang was still eating jerky. She sighed in confusion, "Is this a cat or a dog?"
"It’s born from a cat and a dog."
Madam Tang glared at him, "Nonsense!" Her son had never said such nonsense before. He stayed in this wretched place for too long. The crudeness of the people here had rubbed off onto him.
Although his mother's tone was severe, Tang Tianyuan knew she was not really angry. He looked up and smiled at her. He asked about the situation at home, and asked about his father's recent situation.
After their short chat, he asked again, "Mother, what do you think… your thoughts?"
Madam Tang deliberately pretended not to understand. "What do you mean ‘my thoughts?’ Speak clearly."
Tang Tianyuan was a little embarrassed. "What do you think of Head Commissioner Tan?" Tang Tianyuan knew that his mother was testing Tan Lingyin as soon as she arrived, but Tan Lingyin couldn't detect it. Even so, he believed in his Yinyin.
Madam Tang's perception of Tan Lingyin was a bit complicated. Originally, she heard that there was a little demoness here; this demoness had completely hooked her son and coaxed him into marrying her. Madam Tang was very anxious, she couldn't wait for her son to come home at the end of the year. She rushed to Tongling to see it for herself. Madam Tang deliberately didn't give any prior notice, this way they wouldn’t have time to prepare and that what she saw would be real.
Before coming here, she imagined Tan Lingyin as an invincible little vixen. As the Head Madam of the Tang Residence, what had she not encountered? She was the best at putting vixens in their place.
After meeting her, Madam Tang realized she was mistaken.
Good-looking, well-behaved, clever but not overly shrewd, and wasn’t eager to get ahead in life.
This wasn’t complimenting Tan Lingyin’s strong points, she was just much better than that little vixen in Madam Tang had initially imagined. This created a strong psychological contrast, so much so that Madam Tang was too embarrassed to belittle her.
Naturally, it was impossible to praise her. Her background, her fleeing from her arranged marriage and openly hanging out with men, as well as her affair with her own son...all gave a poor impression.
After thinking about it, Madam Tang replied, "She looks good. If you want to take her in, I won't stop you."
Her meaning: It is okay to take her as a concubine, but not as a main wife.
Tang Tianyuan was a little downcast. But after thinking that this was his mother’s first time meating Yinyin. Since she was willing to let her become his concubine, which meant that his mother didn't dislike Yinyin very much. This was a good sign, right?
Seeing her son like this, Madam Tang sighed, "As the saying goes, 'a perfect wife and a beautiful concubine'. I don’t mind if you want to have a love affair with another woman, but the main wife will take care of the house in the future. Your father only has you and one son." Your wife will not only manage the house, but will also be the head madam of the family in the future. You must choose carefully.
"Managing a household can be learned. No one is born a housekeeper," Tang Tianyuan defended Tan Lingyin, "She is very smart."
Madam Tang snorted. "I assume you even think her farts smell fragrant?"
Seeing that his mother was angry, Tang Tianyuan flattered, "No matter how fragrant her farts are, they are not as fragrant as yours."
"..." Madam Tang didn't know her son anymore. Shameless! In order to please others, he dared to say anything! This was completely disregarding morals integrity. This, this...
But she had to admit that his words did succeed in coaxing her. No woman liked to see their own son wagging his tail after other girls. No matter how much he cared about their spouse, a child shouldn’t forget their own mother.
