I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

"Let's go, let's go," Tang Wenhao pulled Shen Xiao's hand, his face full of joy that he could hardly suppress. It's such a great thing, I have to celebrate it properly!" There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes, as if he had already seen the table full of delicious food waving at him.

Shen Xiao was caught off guard by his sudden action. He held his forehead and said speechlessly, "Wenhao, it's so early in the morning and the restaurant hasn't even opened yet. How can we have a big dinner?" He patted the back of Tang Wenhao's hand and motioned him to sit down.

Tang Wenhao then realized that he was too excited. He smiled, scratched his head awkwardly, and sat back in his seat. "You're right, I was too impatient. How about we go at noon?"

Shen Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance. He knew Tang Wenhao was impatient, but he found Tang Wenhao very cute today. He nodded, "Okay, then we'll go at noon. But let's talk business first."

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "Yes, yes, let's talk business." Tang Wenhao bolted his door and sat back down. He had made an appointment with Shen Xiao last night because he had important information to share with him.

Tang Wenhao lowered his voice and said, "Shen Xiao, I found out about Wen Zhen that you asked me about before."

Shen Xiao was surprised. He only knew about Wen Zhen and Tang Yang when he and Xu Congyi went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. He didn't expect that Tang Wenhao had found out about it. He asked anxiously, "What did you find out? Tell me now!"

"Wen Zhen is probably Grand Tutor Tang. After much investigation, I discovered that Grand Tutor Tang had been active as Wen Zhen for a period of time before His Majesty ascended the throne."

Shen Xiao nodded, "Wenhao, to be honest with you, after that day I also remembered that Wen Zhen was Tang Yang. The letters between him and my father when we were children were signed by Wen Zhen." He ignored the part about Xu Congyi.

Tang Wenhao's mood was also complicated. The more he inquired, the more uncomfortable he felt. The man he had always regarded as an idol, the man who was usually gentle and elegant, turned out to be a two-faced person. On one hand, he was a gentle, humble and polite court official, and on the other hand, he was a ruthless and unscrupulous master of power.

"By the way, how did you get such important information? It won't affect you, right?" Shen Xiao was still a little worried.

"It's okay. I have some special channels and connections, but I can't tell you for now. Don't worry, I will be careful and won't put myself in danger." Tang Wenhao comforted Shen Xiao.

"Actually, I found out some other things, but they may not be related to the murder of my uncle and aunt." Tang Wenhao changed the subject and mentioned another topic.

"Tell me about it." Shen Xiao's eyes immediately became sharp. He was unwilling to miss any clues that might be related to his parents' murder.

"Did you know that Grand Tutor Tang has never married?" There was a hint of mystery in Tang Wenhao's voice.

"Never married?" Shen Xiao was stunned. His brows were furrowed. He was obviously very surprised by the news. "Doesn't Tang Yang have five sons and two daughters? How could he never married?"

"Yes, Grand Tutor Tang did have five sons and two daughters, but they were all born to his concubines. He never married a wife." Tang Wenhao explained, "This is no secret in the court, but few people know the reason."

"Haha," Shen Xiao sneered.

"What's with that expression on your face? Do you know the reason?" Tang Wenhao saw Shen Xiao's expression suddenly turned cold and asked quickly.

Shen Xiao did not answer Tang Wenhao, but asked him, "Wenhao, have you found out the reason?"

"I have heard some rumors that when Tang Taishi was young, he once loved a woman. The woman was gentle and virtuous, talented and beautiful, and was a famous beauty in the capital, but it was said that her family background was not very good. However, the prince of Xiang was interested, but the goddess was not interested. The woman eventually rejected Tang Taishi's proposal and chose another man."

"What happened next?" Shen Xiao asked.

"Later, the woman died of illness shortly after getting married." Tang Wenhao's voice was low. "This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Master Tang. From then on, he never married and devoted all his attention to government affairs, hoping to forget the pain in his heart in this way."

"That woman's surname wouldn't be Lin, right?" Shen Xiao calmly drank a sip of tea. Although it was a question, it sounded like a statement when he said it.

Tang Wenhao opened his eyes wide, "How do you know? It seems to be Lin Qing or something, three characters. It's been so long, the person who told me this can't remember it clearly."

Shen Xiao uttered three words expressionlessly: "Lin Qingru."

Tang Wenhao stood up instantly, his face full of shock and confusion, "How did you know! How did you even know this!" His voice trembled with excitement. It was no wonder that he reacted so strongly, after all, he had painstakingly inquired about this from the people in the palace, and according to common sense, Shen Xiao could not have known it.

"Lin Qingru is my mother."

The whole room suddenly became quiet. Tang Wenhao stared at Shen Xiao with his eyes wide open, trying to find a hint of a joke on Shen Xiao's face, but Shen Xiao's expression was as calm as a lake, without any ripples.
