Chapter 145
On the other side, Tang Tianyuan stared at Tan Lingyin until her face turned as red as an apple. Only then did he express his dissatisfaction, "If anything happens next time, we can just work it out if we talk about it. Don’t pack and run off in the future."
Tan Lingyin explained, "I didn’t plan to run away. I just want to go to Qingchen's place for a few days." She was in a poor mood and didn't want to see his face.
"That's not okay either."
Tan Lingyin felt that his attitude was a bit strange, "Why?"
"...No is no." Tang Tianyuan didn't tell Tan Lingyin Qingchen’s feelings for her. Tang Tianyuan hurriedly changed the topic to prevent her from delving too deep, "Also, don't make light use of 'won't enter Tang Residence’s gates’. You must enter the door of the Tang Residence, and you can only enter the door of the Tang family. In the future, once you are part of Tang Residence, if you are angry, you can freely hit me and smash things. Just don't say such heartless words again."
"Okay." Tan Lingyin nodded. She also felt that she seemed to have said something too much.
Tang Tianyuan added, "Of course, I will try my best to do everything according to your wishes."
Tan Lingyin felt that he was a bit long-winded.
—
Madam Tang heard that her son went directly to the Retreat Hall after leaving the Southern Study, so she took advantage of this opportunity to call Xianggua over.
Madam Tang can only give Xianggua a passing grade on the errands she had assigned her. Everything this maid reported were all true, there was no false use of rumors to slander Tan Lingyin. The problem was that the reports were all selectively negative. The unobjective descriptions led to her biased judgment on Tan Lingyin. The simplest example, why didn’t Xianggua inform her that Tan Lingyin raised a majestic big cat? Because owning a cat would give her a better impression of its owner.
"You said before that Tan Lingyin and the Young Master had pledged to be with each other for a lifetime, is that really true?" Madam Tang asked Xianggua.
"Madam, it's absolutely true. Head Commissioner Tan had always been close to the Young Master. For a while, she lived with the Young Master under the same roof. The Young Master assigned Xueli to serve her."
Madam Tang pondered for a while. "But it does not truly confirm they really made such a pledge."
"Madam, please allow this maid to fetch something."
Madam Tang assented.
Xianggua came back after a while, holding a small cloth bag in her hand. When she opened it, there was a small embroidered shoe with two gold ingots embroidered on top of the shoe.
"Madam, I found this shoe in the Young Master's courtyard when this maid first came to Tongling. At that time, Head Commissioner Tan was still living in the Southern Study. This maid came here early in the morning and found this shoe. It must have been left by Head Commissioner Tan the night before. "
Madam Tang took a look at the shoe. Even if it belonged to Tan Lingyin, it could not prove that she left it behind. What if it was... What if his son stole it? Madam Tang would not think of this possibility before, but after seeing the other side of her son, she couldn’t help but suspect.
"Is there any other evidence?"
"Yes," Xianggua said confidently, the most important piece of evidence was naturally left for last. "This was admitted by Head Commissioner Tan's parents."
Madam Tang wondered, "How can parents tell outsiders about their own child’s scandalous deeds?"
"Madam may not be aware." Xianggua told Madam Tang about Tan Lingyin's family situation and the conflict between Tan Lingyin and her stepmother. Tan Lingyin personally told her father about her pledge, her father told her stepmother, and her stepmother complained about it to Xianggua. Later, in order to prove the legitimacy of this gossip, Xianggua personally used Official Tan's words to confirm it.
Madam Tang inwardly sneered when she heard that Tan Lingyin's stepmother was a concubine that had risen in status to the Head Madam. Sure enough, merchants had no rules, only they could choose to do such a dissenting act.
Xianggua did not like Tan Residence, but the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Because of this, she felt some little sympathy for Madam Tan, so Xianggua inevitably lightlighted Tan Lingyin's disrespect for her stepmother.
Madam Tang felt that Tan Lingyin's actions were not overboard. It was already foolish to make a concubine the head madam of a household. Her own father made an unwise decision, so it was filial of his daughter to dissuade him. Besides, from Xianggua's description, although Tan Lingyin did not respect her stepmother, she was not disrespectful either. That Madam Tan was only regarded as a concubine in front of Tan Lingyin's late mother. It was already good that Tan Lingyin gave her face, why argue with the ex-Madam's legitimate daughter?
Xianggua was a maid, she doesn't understand the contempt of raising the status of a concubine to a head madam. Thus, she couldn’t accurately grasp the point of Madam Tang's anger. If she had said that Tan Lingyin and her stepmother got along perfectly and loved each other like a real mother and daughter. If Xianggua had stated that Tan Lingyin supported her father’s decision to change the status of the concubine for a son, then Madam Tang would be dissatisfied.
But no matter what, Madam Tang believed what Xianggua said. Firstly, Xianggua didn’t dare to lie to her and there was no need to lie to her. Secondly, she heard her son personally say something to the words of ‘I’m already yours, you have to be responsible for me’. Furthermore, young lovers tend to go overboard, especially when it comes to handsome men and beautiful women. With her son's rascality, Madam Tang believed that he had done that with Tan Lingyin.
Madam Tang didn’t believe Tan Lingyin was completely innocent, she was not self-respecting enough. If Tang Lingyin insisted on refusing, Tianyuan would not insist on forcing her.
It was okay for such a girl to be a concubine. She had too many flaws, so it was absolutely impossible for her to be the main wife of her son.
Madam Tang thought of an effective plan.
