Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

146-150

Tang Yanling’s expression was gentle and calm as she tucked the jade box into her pocket. She was no fool. She knew just how badly she and her son were viewed in the eyes of the Tang family. She had not taken a single thing from them throughout her entire stay here.

There should also be no issues with Yin Shaoyuan entering the legacy base as she herself had been deprived of that chance when she was younger.

“That’s right, Second Young Lady, why not keep the jade box in the ancestral hall?” The men who were treating her with contempt mere moments ago were now acting very cautiously around her.

Tang Yanling smiled at them in a friendly manner. “This is a gift from my own daughter. Why would I place it in the ancestral hall?”

This was the first time she was able to speak in such a frank manner to the people here at the Tang family. It was as if the title of “Second Young Lady” had returned to her the instant she became the owner of these magical pills. Despite not sharing the same blood, she felt much closer to Gu Xiqiao than any of these fools.

Tang Yanling gripped the jade box in her pocket as she finally made her mind up. From now on, this would be the status quo in relation to her and the ancient martial arts world.

Finally, an opportunity has opened itself up in front of her; no way was she going to sit here and wait for her death. If Gu Xiqiao had decided to give her a helping hand, it would be downright wrong to give up so easily!

Tang Yanling’s words hit the men around her like a tidal wave. Even the facial expression of the wise elder had grown bitter.

She has been through constant struggle because of them. Now that the tables had turned, was there a reason for her to care about their wellbeing?

Now that Yin Shaoyuan was in safe hands, she prepared to head home. Take a shower, eat a hot meal before finally calling home to tell them she and her son were well. She’d have a good night’s sleep and Yin Shaoyuan should be up and about come next morning.

After Tang Yanling left, the young man snorted grumpily. “We weren’t sucking up to her, why does she have to act all high and mighty like that?! So what if it’s a couple of magic pills? Can’t she share some with her own family? What is the meaning of this? Monopolizing on such a precious treasure!”

“I will report this issue to the clan leader,” said the elder slowly after letting out a long, disappointed sigh.

“That’s right. The leader must be informed of this! A member of the clan not looking out for her own people! This is selfish and outrageous!” The rest added on.

It seems like they have all forgotten what happened just a few days ago, when they refused to recognize Yin Shaoyuan as a part of their great family.

They had forgotten the meaning of the saying, “a man’s wealth is his own ruin by causing the greed of others”.

At the film production site.

Tang Qingqiu walked slowly toward the spot where his vehicle was parked. He was sporting a pair of dark sunglasses, leaving only his masculine jawline visible to nearby pedestrians. Who couldn’t help but look at him twice. Perhaps he was a well-known movie star that they did not know about?

“Young Master Tang? What are you doing here?”

Someone’s voice came from the other movie production team working on the opposite side of the place where ‘Empire Under Siege’ was being filmed.

Only a handful of people recognized who he was. To be able to call his name, it must be someone he knew personally. Tang Qingqiu slowed down and turned toward the source of that voice. Upon seeing a familiar face, he paused for a moment, unable to come up with the person’s name.
