Chapter 239 Leniency For Confession

After completing the transaction with the top leaders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Zhao Ling wanted to return home.

But what he didn't expect was that when he walked out of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's mountain gate, he encountered a very luxurious carriage, followed by a team of about 30 soldiers.

After the carriage stopped, two servants came out, and then they carefully helped down a frail little boy who looked five or six years old and was wearing a gorgeous robe.

When the frail little boy saw Zhao Ling, he was stunned at first, then he showed joy and bowed to Zhao Ling respectfully.

"Qinghe pays homage to his foster father. I never thought that Qinghe would meet you when he came to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect..."

Zhao Ling glanced at the child indifferently and shook his head slightly.

"Prince Qinghe, I have already said that I never agreed to be your adoptive father.

After that incident happened, I personally explained it clearly to your father. I resigned from the position of your Tiandou priest and I have no father-son relationship with you. Please don't bring shame upon yourself, Prince.

The relationship between you and me now is at most that of an employer and an employee. I promise to save your life when you are in danger, that's all."

After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he turned around and left without paying any attention to Xue Qinghe who was being respectful to him.

After Zhao Ling walked away, one of the servants raised his head and spoke to Xue Qinghe without interrupting.

"Prince, look at this Demon Suppression Douluo. If it weren't for his unfathomable strength, it would seem that no one would want to care about him. You are the Prince of our Heaven Dou Empire..."

"Shut up. You can't gossip about my adoptive father. He can disown me, but my father said that I must always respect him as my father."

The five or six-year-old Xue Qinghe stared at the servant coldly, which made the servant shiver all over. Although he was still so young, he looked gentle and harmless.

But after all, he is the crown prince of a country and has been in a high position for a long time. Under his watchful eyes, it would be a miracle if the servants were not afraid.

"When you return home, you will receive thirty lashes of the cane. If you do it again, I will not be able to protect you."

After Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, he walked towards the mountain gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The other servants and guards hurriedly followed his pace.

The servant who was gossiping is now regretting so much. Why did he say so much?

When he returns to the Prince's Mansion, the thirty lashes of the cane may not only kill him, but will at least make him lie in bed for half a month.

When Zhao Ling returned to his mansion, he found the courtyard empty. He was immediately confused. What was going on?

Why aren't my wives playing mahjong in the yard? Did they go back to their rooms?

So Zhao Ling searched every room one by one, but except for Tang Wutong who was sleeping in her room, no one else was at home.

So Zhao Ling picked up Tang Wutong who was sleeping soundly, raised her hand and pinched her nose, and said to her.

"Tong'er, Tong'er, wake up quickly..."

After being awakened, the sleepy Tang Wutong lazily rested her head on Zhao Ling's chest, muttering.

"What's wrong, husband? What happened? Tong'er is sleeping soundly now. Tong'er hasn't had a good sleep recently... I'm so sleepy."

Zhao Ling quickly asked the question in her mind: "Tong'er, where are your mother and grandmother? Why are they not at home?"

Tang Wutong rubbed her eyes with her hands and replied lazily: "I don't know, maybe she went shopping..."

After saying that, Tang Wutong's snoring started again, and Zhao Ling suddenly realized something.

Going out for shopping? Well...it's possible, very possible. After all, it's not a big deal to stay at home and play mahjong every day.

But why did the carefully crafted mahjong disappear? Did they even take mahjong to play on the street?

Although Zhao Ling was confused, she did not take it to heart. She put Tang Wutong back on the bed, gently covered her with a blanket, and left the room.

In this way, until dinner time at around seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Ling did not see the four girls come back from outside. Tang Wutong, who got up for dinner, couldn't help but frown.

She murmured in a puzzled voice: "Could it be that my mother and grandmother fled because I threatened to tell him that they deliberately ignored my husband..."

Zhao Ling's hearing was extremely sharp. He then looked at Tang Wutong beside him and asked in a serious tone.

"Tong'er, what's going on? I hope you'll be honest and lenient. Otherwise, if I find out the truth, I'll be very angry. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes scanned Tang Wutong's delicate body like an X-ray, which made her feel a little creepy.

She hurriedly told everyone the whole story of how the four girls had deliberately ignored Zhao Ling, and she reiterated it again and again.

"Husband, Tong'er said she wanted to tell you that, just to scare them, but she didn't expect them to be scared away. I'm afraid I don't know where they are now. Yes, I'm sorry."

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a smile, but that smile made Tang Wutong feel guilty no matter how she looked at it. She was afraid that he would use it to lose his temper and punish her severely.

She hurriedly said to Zhao Ling in a timid tone: "Husband, I'm sorry, Tong'er was wrong. If you want to punish Tong'er, can you let Tong'er rest for two days? Tong'er really can't bear it during this period of time."

Zhao Ling raised her hand and gently stroked Tang Wutong's head, revealing a smile that made her feel like spring breeze.

"Silly girl, you are not wrong. It is your mother and grandmother who are wrong."

Zhao Ling had already made up her mind. Those four girls were so bold as to flee for fear of crime. Do they think it would be useful to leave home and do it? Humph, just wait for me.

The camera turns to Liu Erlong's home. After she brought Ayin, Arou and Xiaowu here, she felt at ease.

The entire Tiandou Imperial City has a population of tens or even millions. In such a big city, no matter how powerful my husband is, it should be impossible for him to find the four of them in such a short time, right?

It's impossible, absolutely impossible, so they can stay here for a while with peace of mind, and when their husbands' anger has subsided, they can naturally return home.

The most important thing is that living here for a period of time is equivalent to giving the four of them a collective holiday, and they don't have to worry about being severely tortured by their husbands one night.

As for what kind of harm Xiaoqi might have suffered from her husband during the time they were on the run, that was none of their business. As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let myself die. The four girls felt that they were really smart.

But just when they were feeling proud of themselves, they all felt a chill rising in their hearts. As for the reason, they couldn't tell...
