The thrush chirped, perhaps sensing her master's anger, she closed her wings and didn't dare to make a sound.
The entire front hall instantly became deathly silent.
Old Master Tang was dressed in black today. He was already in his twilight years. His eyes were cloudy. With his back slightly crooked, he picked up a walking stick and prepared to return to his chair.
"Well --" Zhang Liyun stood up to help him up.
The old man calmly pushed her hand away. "You've been busy all night and you're quite tired. Sit down."
Zhang Liyun stood where she was and stiffly retracted her hand. Her breathing was slightly ragged.
She had nothing but resentment for a girl who would not learn no matter what!
Idiot!
Old Master Tang had an extremely good temper. In addition to his old age, he had a soft heart. Normally, he would not be willing to make things difficult for others. Tang Mo's face, which had just turned red, had completely faded. Her gaze suddenly collided with the old man's.
His turbid eyes suddenly shot out a fierce look, so frightening that she trembled.
"Grandfather -- grandfather." Tang Mo's voice trembled.
Tang Wan quickly went to get some pills and warm water. "Grandfather, actually, it's not a big deal. It's not good for the body to be angry."
"I knew that they were coming and had taken the pills in advance. I knew that if I didn't take it, I would probably die from anger!" Old Master Tang's fingers stroked his walking stick.
Take... it in advance?
Zhang Liyun and her daughter's faces turned even paler. This meant that even if there was no apology, the old man didn't intend to let them leave peacefully today.
"Since I was hospitalized last time, a lot of things have happened. Let's not talk about what happened too long ago in the past. Let's talk about the recent events."
The old man was old and his body wasn't in good shape. He spoke very slowly. It was a torture to listen to him.
"Tang Mo, I know you were caught and you're not feeling good about it. You're holding your breath and don't want to apologize, right? Then I'll ask you three things. If you can give me a satisfactory explanation for one of the questions, I'll let everything go."
"Grandpa, I..."Tang Mo wanted to apologize, but it was too late.
"Remember the thief incident? You went into Wan Wan's room and said you wanted to help her pack. I know your relationships. You're not even on good terms. Tell me, why did you suddenly treat her so well?
"Trespassing into someone else's room is equivalent to being a thief. I'm already giving you face by not letting the police arrest you."
Tang Mo had caused too much trouble recently, and the old man was also holding in his anger.
"Second, the last time you went to the courtyard in the dark, what were you doing there? You said that you went to apologize to Jinshang and was treated as a thief. At that time, everyone gave you enough face. Now, tell me, why did you go to his room?"
"Last question, why did you ask Wan Wan to go out so late last night instead of recuperating at the hospital? What exactly do you want to do to your sister?"
The old man suddenly threw his crutch, and there was a dull thud.
Tang Mo's body trembled, and her face turned white.

Jiang Tso tilted his head and looked into the room. He said in a low voice, "Damn, the old man's asking all the right questions."
"Look at how scared this little fool is. Didn't she just stand up straight and be very tough? Hurry up and show her who's the boss."
"Arrogant just because she has a little privilege. Fool!"
***
After he talked for a long time, Jiang Jiu only raised his hand to hold his sunglasses and yawned out of boredom.
Don't tell me you're sleepy when it's so exciting.
In the end, Jiang Jiu took a blanket out of nowhere and handed it to Jiang Jinshang.
Jiang Jin leaned against the sofa with the blanket draped over his legs. He looked lazy.
He glanced at Jiang Jiu, his eyes expressing his approval of his actions.
Jiang Tso was so angry that he stomped his feet:
This scheming man was too shameless. He was secretly poking around to make his presence felt.

Tang Mo stood with her hands wrapped around her clothes. A few pairs of eyes were staring at her, and she was panicking.
At this moment, Tang Wan's phone vibrated twice. She took it out.
It was a message from Mrs. Jiang. It was a picture that recorded Jiang Jinshang's preferences in detail. She glanced at the person beside her guiltily and quickly replied with a thank you.
If other people did not allow it, even if the phone was placed in front of Jiang Jinshang, he would not flip it without permission. He would not take the initiative to pry into other people's information. It was only Tang Wan's suspicious act that caught his attention.
However, he didn't think it was his own mother at this moment. He thought it was Tang Wan's best friend. After all, that girl had spoken boldly before and had indirectly tricked Tang Wan once.
After Tang Wan saved the picture, Madam Jiang replied with another message: [ Our Jinshang is counting on you. ]
[ Aunty, you're too kind. ]
[ I should be. If you visit the Capital, Aunty will definitely take good care of you... ]
The two messaged each other secretly.
Jiang Jinshang raised his hand to tidy up the blanket, still thinking that there was so much to talk about between the girls?
He had no idea that there were much more suffering awaiting for him.
At this moment, Old Master Tang's gaze was fixed on Tang Mo. .
"If you don't want to apologize, you have to give me a reasonable explanation."
How could Tang Mo put her dirty thoughts out in the open? Feeling guilty and uneasy, she subconsciously looked at her mother and asked for her help.
After all, she was her own daughter. No matter how angry Zhang Liyun was, seeing how pitiful she was, her heart ached for her.
She braced herself and was about to speak when she heard the old man spoke in a gentle tone.
"You did something wrong and still think that someone owes you. That's unforgivable."
"Either apologize, or..."
"Get lost!"
He emphasized the last word so hard that Tang Mo felt dizzy.
