Her mother, Gong Jinling, was wearing a navy blue high-necked, long-sleeved cheongsam and a string of pearl bracelets on her wrists. She turned her fair wrists,

"Indeed, Shao Guang is thoughtful. He went out and brought back so many gifts."

Tang Zhengguo tapped Gong Jinling's forehead.

"Madam, you just like these jewels,"

Gong Jinling laughed.

"I was irritated by Baozhu during this period, but Shaoguang was kind enough to help me. My depressed mood is finally better."

In an era when marrying a wife and taking a concubine was popular, Tang Zhengguo insisted on marrying only Gong Jinling. Even though they had no children for four or five years after their marriage, he only adopted Song Shaoguang in the countryside.

Tang Zhengguo always said that he and Gong Jinling were childhood sweethearts and they would grow old together.

The original owner believed in love so much and was so sure of Zhou Yixin because of his parents' loyalty to love and because he grew up in such a simple family.

Tang Baozhu sighed slightly. The original owner's parents actually doted on her very much. She was born in a good family, but she played a good hand of cards badly.

After getting off the seat, Tang Baojun, who had been in a bad mood, pouted and said,

"Humph, you've been bought off with just a little favor."

Gong Jinling glared at him.

"Why are you looking so dead? Shaoguang bought some books for you and you threw them all away. You are such a hopeless case."

Tang Baojun was not convinced.

"He knew I didn't like reading, but he still bought some profound financial books on purpose to discredit me!"

"Other people's time is also well-intentioned, but you treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Song Shaoguang, who was standing aside, was wearing a long green gown, with his back straight, and his lips pursed, saying with some grievance,

"My third brother has always been resentful towards me. He may really dislike me as his elder brother, so he threw out the gift I carefully selected. It's okay. I don't mind."

Gong Jinling's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Song Shaoguang was adopted by her, and after giving birth to Baojun and Baozhu, it was natural that she couldn't treat them equally.

Sometimes I would ignore Song Shaoguang's feelings, which made Song Shaoguang more and more sensitive. The older he got, the more unfamiliar he became.

"Shao Guang, don't mind it. This brat is just like that. Don't take it to heart."

"Mom, of course I don't mind. He is still young and will understand his brother's sincerity in the future."

The corner of Tang Baozhu's eye twitched. How could Tang Baojun beat Song Shaoguang at this level? Song Shaoguang was best at sowing discord and putting Tang Baojun in the spotlight.

Tang Baojun was about to refute, but just as he stood up, he saw Tang Baozhu at the door and smiled.

"Sister, you're back? Come and have dinner."

Tang Baozhu nodded and walked straight into the dining room.

"Dad, Mom,"

Tang Zhengguo put down his pocket watch, pushed Gong Jinling, and signaled her with his eyes.

"What nonsense did you just say? If my daughter heard it, she would be angry again."

Gong Jinling's face froze, and she put her hands away. Her originally happy face suddenly fell.

"You went out again just now? Did you go to see Zhou Yixin again? What kind of magic potion did he give you? You don't even have the basic manners of a young lady. You run to the countryside every few days. How can we put our Tang family's reputation aside?"

Her mother's tone of voice was not polite at all. Tang Zhengguo could not stand it any longer. Tang Baozhu had been very noisy these past two days. She would start a quarrel after just a few words, and the family often ended up in a bad mood. He quickly grabbed Gong Jinling and

"You've already accepted the offer, so stop talking."

Gong Jinling couldn't help but feel wronged, her eyes turned red.

"How could I give birth to such a daughter? I raised her to such a age, but she was taken away by a pig. I can't say anything or scold her. Now I have to respectfully invite that pig into the house and worship it. This Zhou Yixin has a pointed face and monkey cheeks. It's not a good thing at first glance..."

Tang Baojun's eyes rolled around. His mother's description was so apt. Zhou Yixin was just a pig. Thinking of what his elder sister wanted to do, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and hold back his smile.

Her mother suddenly looked at him with eyes wide open,

"What do you mean? Tang Baojun, why are you laughing? Your sister is about to jump into the fire pit, and you are still laughing?"

When Gong Jinling got angry, no one dared to speak. Tang Zhengguo was a henpecked husband and couldn't persuade her for a while, so he had to look at Tang Baozhu.

"Baozhu, forget it. Your mother is angry. Just hold it in and don't talk back."

Tang Baozhu felt bitter in her heart. In fact, the original owner's parents doted on her very much. She had been raised in luxury and had never said a harsh word to her.

Apart from Zhou Yixin's matter, they have always been in opposition. Gong Jinling has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and the original owner has a stubborn temper, which is why the quarrel has become so chaotic.

"Mom, I understand. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Gong Jinling was stunned. She thought Tang Baozhu had taken the wrong medicine. She usually got angry when Zhou Yixin said a few words to her, but today she was very silent. The corners of her eyes were red, her mouth and eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her eyelids drooped, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

Gong Jinling felt a lump in her throat.

"What's wrong with you? Did that brat Zhou Yixin bully you? I knew that bastard was unreliable, and I had to beat that brat to a pulp."

Song Shaoguang, who had been sitting in the corner in a reserved manner, stood up, his upturned phoenix eyes curved into a faint arc.

"Mother, please stop talking. My second sister knows her limits."

Song Shaoguang lowered his head and took Tang Baozhu's hand, wanting to touch Tang Baozhu's head out of habit.

"what happened?"

In the original novel, Tang Baozhu's favorite thing is to act like a spoiled child in front of Song Shaoguang. Song Shaoguang would touch her head lovingly, as if he were comforting a little pet, which made people feel particularly at ease.

Tang Baozhu felt sick now. She dodged Song Shaoguang's hand and sat down at the dining table.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just went out for a while and lost the emerald green earrings. They are my favorite pair of earrings."

Song Shaoguang froze in place, quietly watching Tang Baozhu sit down next to Tang Baojun. Even though he realized it late, he could still feel Tang Baozhu's coldness, as if something had changed silently after he went out.

Gong Jinling was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses.

"It's lost, so let me ask the craftsman to make you another one later."

Song Shaoguang nodded and smiled.

"I just happened to bring back some fine Hetian jade. I'll ask the craftsman to make a few pairs of earrings for me later. As long as my sister is happy, that's all."

Tang Baozhu didn't answer, but turned her head to Tang Baojun.

"How's it going? Is everything done?"

"Of course, there's nothing I can't handle."

Tang Baojun was as happy as a large canine having fun.

"I happened to see a pair of beautiful silver earrings in the shop and bought them especially for you,"

As she spoke, Tang Baojun took out a small velvet bag, which contained a pair of silver earrings. They were of novel design, with a semicircular flower-shaped head and a pure silver bottom that looked like a small lantern.
