Chapter 8: Climbing the Wall

Tang Qi took a step back, looking up and down at the two women, estimating their physical strength. He shook his head regretfully, realizing that it would not do; he could not fight, as it would lead to killing. Thus, he turned around quietly, glancing at the head still peering over the wall.

Naturally, permission has been granted

She took two steps closer, and the movie suddenly jerked back as if it had been electrocuted, retreating several steps until her backside hit the wall behind her

The Wing King’s residence, of course, was aware of the news regarding the Seventh Miss of the Tang family as soon as the author of Shou Ping was informed. Seeing the Tang family’s patriarch arrive with a face full of gloom and apology would naturally not pose a challenge. However, it was reported that the young master of the Tang family, who had come running in high spirits, had a rather unpleasant expression upon seeing the Tang patriarch empty-handed, and he turned around and left.

Tang Qi, holding the limited edition Galloping Horse painting, looked on and realized that although she had seen the grasslands, she had never truly paid attention to horses as creatures, so she requested to take a look.

Every family has its own difficulties, Lord Tang, you too have your own concerns. However, in the future, if your family's Seventh Miss has any new works...

Tang Qi lowered her head to look at the embroidered items scattered on the ground, glanced at the ordinary snacks brought by the Tang family on the table, and the return gifts sent by the Wing King’s residence nearby. Only then did she realize that contributing to the family was not necessarily a glorious matter on this planet

She cast a glance at Tang Wuyi, who was standing there in a daze, and without saying a word, jumped down again

What the Empress Dowager said is indeed true

She stood by watching as the movie calmly leaned in to eat the fodder

Thus, Tang Qi set down the needle in her hand and calmly went to eat.

Watching her daughter sitting outside, one hand holding a snack and the other a cup of tea, staring blankly at the sky, she couldn't help but sigh

To say to let things take their course, she ultimately is not such an open-minded mother, but to force it, she is also unable to do so

I can only dawdle and prepare to personally go to the Wang residence to return the gifts and apologize, as my foolish daughter has already gained notoriety. I believe the Wang family is not unreasonable.

Tang Qi withdrew her hand; simulating the sleep waves of a biological entity with mental energy in a limited range was still somewhat taxing. Indeed, it is inconvenient for those who are not specialists in mental energy.

He felt a bit of sympathy for his silly little sister with her thin arms and legs. He thought to himself that since she was foolish, it would be difficult for her to get married in the future. So, he decided to take her out to have some fun while he could. If she ended up not getting married, he, as the head of the family, wouldn't mind taking care of her. He immediately began to take out some things: "Seventh Sister, wait for me. I have a rope. You can tie it around yourself, and I will pull you up with your brother Cen San."

I shall naturally present it with both hands

The two young boys stood up, somewhat dazed. Tang Wu suddenly became excited: "Seventh Sister, be honest! Have you encountered some martial arts master?!"

The livestock indeed possesses a certain intuition

Tang Qi saw Tang Wu Yi wholeheartedly wanting to take her out, shook her head, took a few steps back, and said: "You go down."

Master Tang waited for several days, harboring resentment towards the Li family for their ineffectiveness, as they had failed to raise their daughter properly. He understood that his youngest daughter was a fool and lacked awareness. Although he did not know why she suddenly became unwilling to act, he found himself powerless in the situation

It is true, does she really think she can gain favor by relying on a fool

But here ... ...

Child ... ... what are you doing? Child ... ... snoring ... ...

Are you coming out to play

Tang Qi gazed at the sky ... This embroidery skill is truly a gift from the "heavens"

... ... ''

However, you are right; this is how it will be for Lao Qi in this lifetime. Hmph, Aunt Li even went to the kitchen herself yesterday to stew some snacks and had someone deliver them to Father. Mother also said she was too weak to serve Father and *tut* Father. As soon as this daughter showed some promise, her health improved, and her spirits immediately lifted. She truly is not a good person

Beside her, Li was wiping her tears and gently persuading: "My dear, think about the days we used to have. You almost left me, and they couldn't even be bothered to set up a mourning hall. Now that you are well, and so obedient, I am also living better thanks to you. You really don't need to do much; just embroider some flowers and paint, and everything will come to you..."

So, let's just go with the flow

Fools have their own blessings; this old Seven has died once, and while he may be foolish, his embroidery skills have indeed surged.

How can that be? We only want to take a look and enjoy the view. It sounds as if we are trying to take something from you.

Although Aunt Li's health has gradually improved, she still feels unable to perform certain activities. While she is regretful about her frail condition, she has also shown some cleverness. If the master were to see her sickly appearance for an entire evening, it would likely be quite distressing. It would be better for the master to take on the task of persuading their daughter as soon as he arrives, and then settle him comfortably in her own room, before that evening going to her daughter's room to foster their relationship

Upon seeing the painting, Master Tang exclaimed, "Isn't this the limited edition Galloping Horse painting by XXX?"

Dear child

The most startled was Cen San, who was acting as a human ladder. He was supporting others and was already overwhelmed with stress when suddenly someone jumped down beside him. Startled, he couldn't help but tremble, causing the two children to lose their balance and, screaming, they fell down.

What is a martial arts master

"By the way, where did you get the knife?" It seems that Tang Wu has also been successfully taught.

Meanwhile, Master Tang has not yet returned home, and here, Tang Wu has started to climb over the wall to his younger sister again: "Seventh Sister! Seventh Sister!"

Tang Qi lay on the bed for the first time with someone after coming to the world of books, and it was still a human who occasionally emitted liquid sounds. She lay expressionless, her two paws, like a cat's, clutching the quilt on either side of her face, her big eyes staring at the ceiling.

Moreover, the respect accorded to several distinguished veterans of the expeditions within their families directly influences the enthusiasm of other young members to participate in battles

Cen San was fine, landing on his backside. Tang Wu fell directly from mid-air, and before he hit the ground, Tang Qi stepped forward and gave him a push. He flipped over, going from falling on his back to landing in a doggy style. Although his face was covered in mud, at least he didn't hit the back of his head on the ground

Tang Qi looked up at him, his head swaying in the same manner, with a similarly smug yet cautious expression

I apologize, Third Sister, I spoke out of turn again

It was useless to say anything; Tang Qi still walked over, because the chestnut horse, which was kept alone in the corner, had particularly strong muscles, much more robust than that black wind horse.

In the distance, someone is laughing and chatting

"Qiyu, you must not be disrespectful!" The Grand Dowager Empress admonished in a feigned manner.

She did not have the servant guide her; instead, she slipped back to the small courtyard on her own. Inside, several boxes were already arranged, opened, containing silk gifts and items for her to embroider.

It is said that the one who acted was a young lady from the Tang family. Unless the Prince of Wings intends for the heir to marry now, there truly is no reason to seek someone. As a compromise, the other party naturally sent over a painting, depicting a scene of horses galloping across the grasslands, grand and imposing.

Even when faced directly, her expression does not seem very friendly, let alone what I have heard... Who can blame her for having a somewhat broad scope of investigation...

Tang Qiping took a few steps, examining several landing points. With a run-up, she jumped, a cold glint flashing in her hand as she thrust a knife into the wall. Using the force, she pushed herself upward, lifting her body significantly. With an outstretched hand, she grasped the top of the wall, exerting a slight force with her legs, and with a swift motion, she flipped over and landed on the wall.

"Nuan Nuan, please, I beg you, do some embroidery. For your future, look at how you are now. You can't continue your studies, you can't compose poetry. In the future, finding a good husband will depend entirely on this God-given skill of yours..."

With a clatter, the brush in the servant's hand fell to the ground

Although men generally do not concern themselves with the affairs of the inner quarters, he understands that his own mother and sisters sometimes speak without regard for his presence. He is aware of the current situation of his seventh sister, who has brought disgrace to the Tang family by failing to recognize the value of the Hua family. Several of his sisters are reveling in this misfortune, while the Li family is of no help, and the other two concubines are even less likely to intervene. The elder Tang master has simply chosen to ignore the matter, leaving the Li mother and daughter truly isolated and helpless

Seventh Sister's wall is too... the high character has not yet appeared, Tang Qi landed, squatted down, and then stood up. Her small frame surprisingly exuded a sense of stability akin to that of a mountain.

Wait a moment, my rope is tied around my waist... I wonder if it's long enough

She recalled her family; although not everyone necessarily knew each other, as long as they wore the same insignia, even distant relatives who had only met once could immediately stand back to back together on the battlefield

In the morning, Li woke up to find that Tang Qi had already gone out for a walk. It was said that the master had not received the letter and had left early in the morning as well. She was both puzzled as to why her daughter had slept so soundly after just touching her last night, and lamented that she ultimately failed to accomplish the task. This favor, which had been so eagerly anticipated, was now in vain.

Tang Qi did not move; she gazed at the movie, looking up, down, left, and right for a long time, then leaned forward and whispered, "Turn around"

How did it get blocked

Ma gently exhaled and turned away

The fool has gone on strike

Tang Qi walked to the stable of the Tang residence. The guiding servant carefully introduced, "Miss Qi, that is a little mare just sent by someone, very gentle! That one is Hei Feng, the eldest young master's favorite steed, a true horse of a thousand miles! It has a fiery temperament! Ah, Miss, please don't go over there! That is a movie horse, not yet tamed! It would be bad if it kicked you!"

Then, the servant beside them suddenly noticed that the usually wooden and slow-moving Miss Seven, with her large, dazed eyes, suddenly squinted, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes

Oh, where did I get a knife from?

... ... ''

My dear child, I do not ask for much from you

"No harm done, young master, you are a person of character. It is my fault for not educating my daughter properly." Lord Tang wiped his sweat

Tang Qi glanced at the pastries and tea that had not been touched for a day, then looked at the gifts and embroidered items scattered all over the floor. She stood up and walked towards the door, but upon reaching the entrance, two maids blocked her way: "Miss Qi, the madam has something to say. It is better for young ladies to go out less."

... ... ''

Isn't that just the fate of a needlewoman? The gun targets the bird that sticks its head out; that peculiar embroidery technique, be careful not to let it be exploited by those with ulterior motives, or it may be treated as a demon and burned

Having completely recorded the horse's physical information, Tang Qi nodded slightly, turned around, and prepared to leave. She had no interest in the obedient horse; such a mode of transportation was even less appealing than a mechanical wheel (bicycle), offering no excitement whatsoever

Indeed! The lady is being overly lenient; that sickly servant should not be kept. The daughter is foolish and could bring trouble! Sister, we cannot just stand by; we must let Lady Li know what it means to behave properly and with restraint

Such words must not be spoken carelessly, as they pertain to witchcraft and can lead to collective punishment

This news shocked the Tang residence, and no one could be swayed, remaining as immovable as a mountain. The elder Tang, who had been eager to curry favor with the Prince Yi's residence, found himself at a loss. For the first time in several years, he entered Lady Li's chamber, offering himself in exchange for embroidery.

Tang Wu understood upon seeing Tang Qi: "My mother won't let you go out?"
