Chapter 9 This Is a Child's Play
The journey was silent. Tang Yue maintained his heavy heart as he arrived at Yueyang Marquis's Mansion. Only when he saw the two domineering stone Qilins at the entrance did he adjust his state of mind and prepare for a fierce battle.
He was a doctor of medicine and a director of surgery. He had come into contact with all kinds of patients. There were all kinds of patients that were difficult to deal with. He was afraid that he could not deal with a few ancient people.
“Hurry... Hurry up and report that young master is back...” The entire Yueyang Marquis's Mansion became lively because of Tang Yue's arrival. Tang Yue followed the mountain into the manor. The servants he met along the way all knelt down and saluted.
Their attitude may not be sincere, but their manners were very thorough. Tang Yue could almost confirm that his life in the prefecture would not be too bad.
“Where is he? ... Quickly bring him in for old hag to see...” A hoarse voice came from the main room. Tang Yue stepped into the room and received a dozen different gazes. f reewe bnovel
The room was quiet for a few minutes. It was Yueyang Marquis, Tang Shoucheng, who broke the silence first. He took a step forward and held Tang Yue's arm. He looked at Tang Yue from head to toe. “Finally, I'm back.”
Tang Yue also looked at him a few times. He was sure that he was his biological son. His eyebrows and nose were similar. He was grateful for the great genetics. Otherwise, his identity would not have been so easily accepted.
Clearly, the other party had also confirmed the blood relationship on his face. He became even more excited. “Child, you have suffered all these years! I am your father.”
Tang Yue felt a mixture of sadness and joy from the bottom of his heart. He quickly lowered his head and called out unnaturally, “Father.”
“Good! Great good! Haha... I have a son!” This sentence caused everyone's expressions to change. However, there were some who were happy. Some were angry, and some were angry.
“Quickly come over and let me take a look.”
Yueyang Marquis quickly pulled Tang Yue over and introduced her. “This is my grandmother.” Then he introduced her to him. The others had uncles and stepmother. There were seven goddess-like sisters.
Logically speaking, in this era, when meeting parents and elders, one would have to kowtow to them. However, Tang Shoucheng was so excited that he forgot about it. Tang Yue acted as if he didn't know. Anyway, he was a wild child who grew up in the countryside. It was normal that he didn't know how to behave.
Tang Yue actually did not mind kneeling down to his parents. But now, it was hard for him to persuade himself to kneel down to this family. He was a father who abandoned his wife and son, and a family he did not know. If the original owner was still here, he did not know how he would face this family.
As for him, he could only treat them as his future parents and boss.
Every elder gave him a meeting gift. Tang Yue called in the mountain and gave out the gifts he had prepared beforehand. They were all worthless things. Naturally, the family did not take them seriously. However, Tang Yue's actions had won the good impression of the elders.
The family had found out what kind of life the original owner had led in the past. If Tang Shoucheng had not been unable to give birth to a son for so many years, he would probably have let him fend for himself at the border for the rest of his life.
In such a situation where he was ashamed of himself, the child's generosity was commendable. The old madam held Tang Yue's hand and praised him endlessly.
“This child is kind and has good facial features. He will definitely be a good young master in the future!”
“Mother is right. My son is generous and has the reputation of a great family. He will definitely be able to support the Tang Family in the future.” These words caused Marquis's Wife's expression to change drastically.
The little girl sitting next to her was also unhappy. She jumped out and said, “Father, he grew up in the countryside. He has no one to teach him. He is not good at civil and military affairs. He will not lose the face of the Marquis's Mansion if he goes out. How can he support a family?”
“Ya!” Yueyang Marquis scolded her and said, “He is your elder brother. How can he be so rude?”
Tang Ya stomped her feet and threw the candy Tang Yue gave her on the ground a few times. “Father is biased. Who wants these cheap sweets? I don't know where he came from. Father actually wants to give the family business to him?”
“What do you mean? He is the only son in the family. If you don't hand it over to him, who will you hand it over to?” Yueyang Marquis really loved his eldest daughter. After he finished speaking, he stroked her long hair lovingly. “You are going to get married next year. If you don't have the support of your mother's family, how will you live in your husband's family in the future?”
Tang Ya naturally knew this logic, but her mother had said that if this family was handed over to an unknown boy, where would they have a place in the future?
“Humph!” The more Tang Ya thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. She held her sister's hand and ran out of the hall.
Marquis's Wife held the handkerchief and nodded at the corner of her eyes. She said softly, “Master Hou, don't blame Ya. Ya was just momentarily stupid. She will understand.”
Tang Yue kept his head down and stood there. This kind of situation was too child's play. People who could really vent their anger were not scary. The only thing he was worried about now was the other way around. Marquis's Wife was the only one he was worried about.
According to Shan, Marquis's Wife's surname was Zhao and she did not have a son. She did not have a high position in the family, but Tang Yue noticed that this was not the case. Both the old madam and Yueyang Marquis had smiles on their faces when they looked at her. It did not seem like there was a barrier between them.
Regardless of whether her position was high or low, Tang Yue did not intend to challenge her authority. It would be best if they could coexist peacefully. If it really did not work out, he would find another opportunity to move out in the future.
