But the sight of the guards sledding about filled him with envy, and after a moment’s thought, he trotted back toward the manor.

Tong Sanlang wouldn’t send him back, but he could at least give him a rope, right?

He dragged the sled back.

After all, Tong Sanlang was his own flesh and blood, his elder brother. Though angry, he still gave him a hemp rope.

With the rope in hand, Tong Erlang tied the basket to the sled and pulled it, plodding slowly in the direction of Anping Village.

Although he had once again offended Tong Sanlang, with a bit of time for Tong Sanlang’s anger to subside, a few kind words from him would surely restore their relationship to how it was before.

And now that he had conveyed the message, he could explain himself to Zhu Hongyun when he got back.

The trip had been totally worth it – he got both meat and a sled!

With that thought, Tong Erlang’s mood brightened again. By the time he reached home, the mealtime had already passed, but having gnawed on a meat pie earlier, he wasn’t hungry.

After eating, Tong Tiehu was about to step out when he saw his son return and his face darkened, “Did you go to the manor?”

Tong Erlang immediately shrunk his head, “It was Dad and Xiaoyun who asked me to go, I had no choice!”

He was really meek, truly meek.

In this household, everyone was tougher than him. His life was so hard.

Zhu Hongyun was in the room at the time, but hearing Tong Erlang’s voice, she came to the doorway.

“Erlang, you’re back?”

“Back, I’m back. I told the retired emperor the message, but he didn’t say anything and just went into the manor, he didn’t pay me any mind,” he rushed out with the story before Tong Tiehu could interrogate him.

After listening, Tong Tiehu clenched his jaws, trembling with anger, “Good, very good!”

He glared at Zhu Hongyun and stomped out of the courtyard.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhu Hongyun suddenly felt a bad premonition. She clasped her hands over her belly and cried out with an “Aiyo,” “It hurts, my belly hurts so much…”

Seeing this, Tong Erlang was startled and quickly dropped the rope to help her, “Xiaoyun, what’s wrong? Did the baby kick you?”

“My belly hurts, help me to the bed to lie down…” she said weakly.

“Alright, alright, to the bed then. I will go fetch Doctor Wu right away,” Tong Erlang said hurriedly.

“No need, no need, just stay with me here,” Zhu Hongyun quickly grabbed his sleeve.

The way Tong Tiehu walked out, it was eerily reminiscent of how he dealt with the Zhang Family in the past. Surely Tong Tiehu wasn’t thinking of confining her in the old house too…

Tong Tiehu indeed had this intention. He went out to find people to heat up the kang in the old house. He planned to confine both Tong Xingda and Zhu Hongyun, along with Tong Erlang, there.

He was thoroughly sick of this pack of mischief-makers in his family. He had enough silver in hand and decided to lock them all up, forbidding them from causing any more trouble!

The manor.

It was only after sitting down for a meal that Qiao Xiaomai learnt about Tong Erlang coming to the manor to make a complaint. Yang Wenxiao felt that eating with just two people was dull, so he invited both her and Tong Sanlang to join every meal. After she finished her work in the kitchen, changed her clothes, and came to the small hall of the Guest House, she had just taken a seat at the dining table when Yang Wenxiao started enthusiastically.

“Xiaomai, your adoptive father sent your second brother here today to complain that you’re unfilial,” he said.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She immediately turned her head to look at Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang smiled gently at her and said softly, “Don’t worry, the retired emperor has already sent him back. Don’t take it to heart.”
