Chapter 374 Open the door
At this moment, she seemed no longer the well-behaved and proud daughter Tang Wanru who had been by his side for the past year. She seemed like a different person.
Her indifference chilled him to the bone.
"Wanru, what did you say?" Tang Jiang asked in disbelief.
Tang Wanru gave him a cold look, then shook off his hand that was pulling her sleeve. She said directly to Li Bo: "Eunuch Li, my father did offer Tang Yue'er to the Marquis' Mansion in order to get close to the Marquis' Mansion. Although he is my father, as an imperial concubine, he cannot be biased. Please do it impartially!"
"You!" Tang Jiang was terrified. Not only did she not save him, she even stepped on him.
Why on earth did she do that?
In fact, Li Bo had guessed Tang Wanru's decision a long time ago. Almost everyone in the capital knew that Tang Jiang favored his concubine over his wife. Tang Wanru's mother had suffered a lot from him, so it was normal for him to end up like this.
So Li Bo nodded and continued: "Come here, take Tang Jiang away!"
Tang Jiang was really anxious this time. He said directly to Tang Wanru, "Tang Wanru, why did you do this? How could I be so sorry for you? I am your father."
Hearing his heart-wrenching cry, Tang Wanru looked at him coldly.
"Dad?" Tang Wanru's face was very gloomy. She said, "For your own fame, you are willing to sell out your daughter. Are you worthy of being a father?"
"Tang Wanru, you——"
"Besides, I didn't do anything." Tang Wanru said, "My mother was soft-hearted and didn't take these things with her when she left. It doesn't matter. I just helped her take them away."
The Tang Mansion originally belonged to her mother, and she just wanted him to return it intact.
Tang Jiang stopped shouting after hearing this and looked at her in disbelief.
He suddenly remembered that it was Tang Wanru who persuaded him to present Tang Yue'er to the Marquis' Mansion.
Tang Wanru has been harming him since the beginning!
"Tang Wanru, Tang Wanru, you are hurting me, Tang Wanru!" Tang Jiang shouted as he was pulled away.

late at night.
The wind is strong tonight, and the big trees on both sides of the streets in the capital are rustling, which makes a very strange sound.
Crown Prince Zhou Huangquan and his men stood on the street, looking at the tightly closed East City Gate from afar, their brows tightly locked.
Shen Lang's people will arrive tonight.
He was responsible for meeting Shen Lang inside and opening the city gate. Then he would carry out what Madam Shen had arranged before.
Enter the palace! Seize the throne!
Zhou Huangquan had thought more than once about sitting on the throne of Emperor Zhou and looking down on the world, but now when all this was placed in front of him, he hesitated.
As soon as the door opens.
He was rebelling.
If you succeed, you will naturally become the king in one fell swoop, but if you fail, there will be no way back.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huangquan couldn't help feeling a little scared again.
Soon, a dove flew into the sky outside the city, and then an arrow hit the dove, and the dove fell down.
This was the person outside signaling him to open the door.
But Zhou Huangquan still didn't move.
He was scared.
Just as he was hesitating, Li Zihan came to his side and said to him: "Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer. This is our last chance."
Zhou Huangquan still frowned.
Li Zihan continued, "The Yongning Marquisate is finished, and it's your turn next. We don't have time. Madam Shen allowed Shen Lang to enter the capital, which is our last move. If you don't open the door, not only will you ruin yourself, but also the Shen family army. Everything will be over. Please think twice, Your Highness!"
Zhou Huangquan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.
The cold wind blew on his face!
He gritted his teeth hard.
Seeing him like this, Li Zihan said again: "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince Bai Yanli captured the leader of the Shanrong a few days ago and has won the emperor's trust. In the past, although the emperor was afraid of you, it was because he had no one else to use except you, so even if he was dealing with you, he did not kill you."
"And now you have seen what has happened. If you step down, Bai Yanli will take over your place."
"Your Highness," Li Zihan said, "Do you remember how he suppressed you before and how he got to where he is today step by step? If you give up the position of Crown Prince, then this position will definitely be his, and he will have completely won."
Won!
Hearing this, Zhou Huangquan took a deep breath. There was no way he would let him win. Even if he died, he would not let him win!
Then, dark mist rose in Zhou Huangquan's pupils, and he said word by word: "Someone, open the door!"

the other side.
At the door of Bai's house, a cold wind blew. Tang Wanru escorted Liu Qiu out.
Now Tang Yue'er has been locked up in a cell.
This was the first time Tang Wanru and Liu Qiu met in public, and this meeting would also be their last.
Because Liu Qiu's mission had been completed, Tang Wanru wanted to send her away.
Outside the door, there was a carriage parked. The young man driving the carriage was very young and had a gentle face. He was the servant of the Chen family who had fallen in love with Liu Qiu in the previous life. In the previous life, Liu Qiu was given to Liu Duo by Tang Yue'er and suffered a lot.
And in this life, under Tang Wanru's arrangement, Liu Qiu is successfully with the person he loves.
Tang Wanru asked Yingchun to go to the Chen family to redeem the young man, and also gave Liuqiu some money. The two of them were going to return to the countryside to live and work in peace.
"Master." When it was time to leave, Liu Qiu was still reluctant to let her go. Although she had been helping Tang Wanru in the past year, she had never openly called her master. Thinking about it now, she still felt quite emotional.
So she shouted until her eyes turned red.
Throughout the whole process, although Liu Qiu and Tang Wanru did not communicate much, he was a very important chess piece in the overall situation. After all, the two of them were master and servant.
Tang Wanru pulled her hand and comforted her: "When you get back to your hometown, live and work in peace and take care of yourself."
Ordinary people’s lives are too easy to be exploited, especially those from the lower classes. It is also a kind of happiness for Liu Qiu to be able to find love and stability with the help of Tang Wanru in this life.
"Yes." Liu Qiu nodded and got on the carriage. She reluctantly said to Tang Wanru, "Master, I will leave now."
Tang Wanru nodded.
So the carriage left the capital from the west gate according to Tang Wanru's instructions.
