C53 (1/2)
For the past ten years that Qi Xiao Ran had grown up in, she had lived in the northern part of the Dazhi.
Because of the people's valiance, even a girl's family was able to mount a horse, so her mother raised her into a strong person. She never felt that there was anything bad with being strong.
She was the daughter of a princess, and her mother was the apple of her grandfather's eye. Her grandfather was the exalted Grand Marshal of the Horse, the late emperor's relative with another surname, and she, the pearl of her grandfather's hand, had always been well protected.
Even though her father had disappeared because of the war with the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, even though she only had her mother and no father, she had always been very happy.
However, when she was ten years old, her mother, in order to find her father, sent her to her grandfather's home in the imperial capital. Everything had changed.
She found herself out of place with everyone.
Of the young ladies at the banquet, each was more delicate than the last. Only she was the most majestic.
It had been the darkest years of her life, so dark that she was afraid to drink her own saliva.
None of the sisters in the manor were willing to play with her. They felt that she was ugly, that she was vulgar, and even that when there were even guests in the family, their grandpa would ask her to stay far away from him and embarrass her.
After that, her mother found her father and brought her home. No one dared to say in front of her that she was ugly and fat. However, she was trapped in the shadows and couldn't come out again.
The old man was right. She was ugly, she wasn't beautiful.
Now that she had been bullied, the people in her grandfather's family would definitely say that her mother couldn't raise a child and that her reputation was ruined …
Back then, she wanted to die. Now that she was dead, no one would dare to use her to ridicule her parents. She no longer needed to listen to those people's mockery.
However, when she heard the harsh words from the young sister in front of her, she suddenly felt completely dumbfounded.
Would he make his parents suffer for the rest of their lives just to make these people he wasn't close with regret and fear?
She was really too stupid.
Wu wu wu …
Holding the soft body in her arms, she felt as if she were touching the other one, the one she had always wanted to be but could never be.
Optimism, strength, and pride could not be bullied by anyone, nor could they be bullied by anyone.
Wu wu wu …
She felt as if she had found an organization, so she hugged her waist tightly and cried like a mess, as if she wanted to vent all the dark emotions that had been brewing for so many years.
… ….
Tang Qing lowered her head to look at the little girl who was crying her heart out. Even though his waist was throbbing with pain, he did not struggle at all.
She looked coldly at the middle-aged man on the ground who had been suppressed. She saw that he had let out a sigh of relief after seeing that the little girl was fine. She then smiled coldly.
”Someone, come!” she shouted.
”Eldest Miss.” The guard standing at the side quickly ran over.
”Go to Jing Zhao Mansion and call for people, and the justice courts. Go, immediately, immediately!”
Tang Qing coldly looked at the man on the ground and spoke word by word: ”To dare to commit such a heinous act in the National Temple and even insult Buddha, you are clearly a man without a ruler, you are simply acting recklessly!”
In reality, this man only wanted to ruin people's reputation, but who cares? Robbery, trampling on the State Protecting Temple, these two crimes sounded better, didn't they?
The guard was forced to run by Tang Qing's imposing aura, but she didn't expect to be stopped when she reached the door.
”Wait!”
The one who spoke was Tang Qian Zi, she had clearly just returned, she quickly scanned the scene in the great hall, and quickly walked to Tang Qing's side with an anxious expression on her face.
