Chapter 4: Choosing Name (1)

Tang Song Nian never expected to be kicked, but he didn’t mind it. He cheerfully held her evil little feet and gave them a mouthful of kisses in succession.

Smooch, smooch!

She was not prepared for Tang Song Nian’s action. Because of this, Xu Yun Yao was furious as she fumed with rage.

“Baaa! Baaa! Baaa…” Her face flushed red. Apparently, she was so angry that she verbally cursed at him.

Ruan Shi wiped away her tears as she gently held her daughter in her arms. Then she pecked at her cheek. She was stunned as her voice was getting softer and softer.

“You little wolf, you almost scared your mother to death.” After crying for some time, she uttered that in a hoarse voice, but the tone was filled with gentleness.

“Baa! Ba—” Then, her babbling suddenly stopped. Xu Yun Yao became stiff, stretched out her hand to touch her kissed cheek, and muttered some words while in Ruan Shi’s embrace.

‘For the sake of this woman who had almost lost her daughter, I won’t argue with you for the time being.’

“My granddaughter has woken up?” Another woman rushed in and asked eagerly.

“Yes, mother, you can rest assured. The doctor just finished examining her pulse and said it was no big deal.” Tang Song Nian stepped forward to assist the woman.

Wang Shi was relieved, then clasped her hands together, and murmured. “God bless, God bless!”

Naturally, she hugged her granddaughter and wept with joy. After some time, she wiped her tears, saying, “I have to go to Chaoyun Taoist Temple to give my gratitude.”

“It really is necessary to go to Chaoyun Temple to express our thanks. Look there, Old Madam (referring to Wang Shi) and Madam, the amulet in the girl’s pocket seems to have been burned—even though only the corner. It is obvious that it successfully blocked an evil spirit.” Cui Wen suddenly interjected.

Tang Song Nian and Old Madam Wang Shi looked at it and found that the corner of the amulet hidden near her baby daughter’s body really was burnt and blackened.

Tang Song Nian froze for a moment, but then he did not want to think much about it.

On the other hand, Xu Yun Yao’s interest was piqued by a little boy next to Wang Shi. He looked to be about four years old, had a round and slightly chubby face, shiny, black, bright eyes, and a clever, lovely appearance.

The next moment, the little boy came running towards her, holding Ruan Shi’s skirt and shaking it cutely. “Mother.”

Xu Yun Yao’s eyes suddenly widened.

Mother? Did it mean this child was really that old fox’s son, Tang Huai Zhou?!

The kid should be the one who kept helping the old man do many things for him in the future, and many of his hands inside and outside the palace were under the control of this guy!

Looking at the little guy acting so spoiled towards Ruan Shi, and seeing his round, meatball face, Xu Yun Yao’s face was a bit odd.

Who would believe that this little fatty in front of her was the dashing and graceful young master Tang who had won the hearts of many noblewomen in the capital?

This plump, tubby little master of Tang family… was it probably only her illusion?

***

No matter how enraged she was, Xu Yun Yao had to accept the fact that she had become the daughter of Tang Song Nian, her bitter rival.

The little girl’s body was premature. Since birth, she was weak and had gotten ill from time to time, so she had been carefully raised. No one ever thought about another severe illness that had occurred half a month ago. Her condition was sometimes good, sometimes bad. But in the end, she still failed to survive, and her soul was then replaced by Xu Yun Yao.

Coincidentally, Xu Yun Yao and the little girl named “Little Treasure” were born in the same year. As to whether it was the same day of the same month and at the same time, Xu Yun Yao was not too clear about it. After all, she was a person who wouldn’t even remember where her ancestral home was and who her biological father and mother were.

To be continue

Soon, she also found out about Tang Song Nian’s current official position. In her memory, the first official position that the old man reached in the officialdom was the Anping County Magistrate.
