Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Paying Silver for Jokes_1 Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Paying Silver for Jokes_1 “Now that your father and I have made it to Capital City on our own merits, what right or reason do you have to send us back to be imprisoned?!”
“Since the day your grandfather locked me up, have you even glanced at me once?! Finally, we meet, and without saying or asking anything, the first thing out of your mouth is to have us sent back to be locked up. Tong Sanlang, I truly regret giving birth to you!”
Zhang Family’s force was quite strong, pushing Tong Sanlang into the Courtyard, almost causing him to stumble and fall.
He looked at the fierce and agitated Zhang Family, took a deep breath, “Mother, have you forgotten why grandfather locked you up? There were reasons for it.”
These words only infuriated Zhang Family further; she pointed her finger at his shoulder, poking him fiercely, “So what if I remember? I’m your birth mother, even if I did something wrong, I’m still your birth mother!”
“Did I harm you? Did I hit you? All I did was against that good daughter-in-law of yours. I didn’t hit you, didn’t scold you, didn’t harm you, and this is how you treat your birth mother as a son?!”
Tong Sanlang compressed his lips and said through clenched teeth, “Xiaomai and I are husband and wife; what is mine is hers. What you did to her, you effectively did to me.”
“Ptui!” As soon as he spoke, Zhang Family spat in Tong Sanlang’s face.
Tong Sanlang nimbly dodged, which only made Zhang Family angrier. She lashed out to hit him, shouting, “I’m telling you, stop spouting nonsense. You haven’t repaid a single bit of the great grace of my eighteen years of nurturing you! You’re unfilial, you’re a beast!”
“Now you even want to lock up your father and me again. How did I raise such a beast! Get out, just get out!”
Tong Sanlang was no longer the one who would stand in place and take a beating; as Zhang Family ranted, he stepped back, asking, “Why have you and father come to Wang Residence?”
“What business is it of yours? The beast that doesn’t care about what I eat or drink or whether I live or die, you haven’t cared about your father and me in the past, so don’t start now! Get out! Go back where you came from!” Zhang Family chased after Tong Sanlang, panting with rage.
The whole Courtyard instantly became noisy.
Bai Zhi stood on the sidelines, watching Tong Sanlang’s awkward and humbled state with a smile that never left her face.
Tong Sanlang had made her angry time and again, and now she finally could get her revenge.
Gao Lian stood by, finding the scene difficult to watch, and said directly, “Tong Juren, I think it’s better if you come back to the Palace with me first.”
Truth be told, he really wanted Tong Sanlang to strike Zhang Family unconscious, but that would be too unfilial, especially with Bai Zhi standing right there.
Only Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan could issue such an order.
We’ll discuss this after returning to the Palace!
Tong Sanlang shared the sentiment, responding at once, “Alright.”
With that, he promptly used his lightness skills to leave, “Eunuch Gao, I’ll wait for you in the carriage!”
Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi finally couldn’t hold back and burst into hearty laughter.
Gao Lian shook his head and said to her, “Princess, this old servant will take his leave.”
“Eunuch Gao, let me walk you out.”
“No need, no need, Princess, please stay,” Gao Lian said as he hurriedly waved his hand and quickly walked to the gate.
As his figure disappeared, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but laugh again, covering her stomach.
Zhang Family stood aside, watching her cautiously.
After a good while, when Bai Zhi finally had her fill of laughter, she straightened up and pulled out two banknotes from her bosom, “Reward for you, take it. For such a joke, I’ll give you a banknote every time I get to see one.”
