Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

The meal was very enjoyable, and Su Tang was so full when she went back that her stomach was bloated.

Having not eaten so happily in a long time, she actually changed her previous restraint before leaving, clinging to the doorframe with a shy smile, "Little Ninth Uncle, can I freeload tomorrow too?"

Although Lord Shen the Second and his wife indulged her, the old woman they sent to take care of her was very strict about her diet. It was okay for her to eat out occasionally, but if she dared to run out every day, she would definitely be in trouble.

Su Tang couldn't bear to see others cry, especially since those maids and old women were doing it for her own good.

However, although the food cooked by the old woman suited her taste, she rarely made her anything with heavy oil or grease. She only went out occasionally to satisfy her cravings, but now, she had suddenly discovered a good place.

Little Ninth Uncle, who would dare to control him!

Rong Jin didn't show it on his face, and even asked her for payment, "You can, remember to pay for food."

Su Tang's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll bring the silver over tomorrow."

Rong Jin just watched her skip away, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

The little thing was really easy to fool, just like he was back then.

He understood why she was so enthusiastic about teasing him back then. This feeling was really quite interesting.

It wasn't until Su Tang returned to Ronghua Courtyard that she remembered there were two more guards at the door. In the end, she didn't want Gu Ming. There were many dangers around the male lead, and Gu Ming was the leader of the hidden guards, so she just randomly picked two hidden guards.

However, in name, they were just guards.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the end of the year was approaching. Old Lord Hou's health was deteriorating.

The Marquis household had lost its usual New Year atmosphere, and everywhere was lifeless, making it hard to breathe.

If Old Lord Hou passed away, the title of Marquis of Zhongyi would belong to her eldest uncle, but her eldest uncle had always been at odds with his other brothers. He was the son of the first wife, and the rest, like Shen Tao's father, were sons of the second wife. Although they were also born of the legal wife, they were not born of the same mother and were not close. Not to mention the rest of the brothers who were born from the concubines' wombs.

Su Tang didn't care. She would be more comfortable if they divided the household. Although she would no longer have the title of Miss of the Marquis Household at that time, who cared? She was still the daughter of a general.

However, others were different, especially those uncles born from the concubines' wombs. They were originally sons born of concubines, and now they were called "Lord" in the Marquis Household. If they divided the household, where would they find such great wealth? Not to mention anything else, just the phrase "Lord of the Marquis Household" was beyond what money could measure.

The Marquis Household was beginning to change, but it had nothing to do with Su Tang. At this time, she was nestled in the warm pavilion, opening the window and watching the heavy snow outside.

The snow was too heavy to go out, so she asked the maid to warm up some wine for her, eat some snacks, and enjoy herself.

When Rong Jin came over, he saw her slumped on the soft couch like she had no bones.

"Little Tao'er is really enjoying herself."

Hearing the voice of the Great Demon King, she suddenly sat up straight. Seeing that Rong Jin had already entered the room, she immediately gave up her seat and poured him wine diligently, "Little Ninth Uncle, it's so cold, why did you come here?"

"Look, your presence makes my warm pavilion shine."

"The wine glass in your hand looks even better after you hold it."

"This hand is really too beautiful. It looks like a work of art."

Seeing her little mouth chattering, spouting compliments one after another, Rong Jin felt comfortable in body and mind. When it was almost enough, he stopped her, "Alright, I'm here today for something."

Su Tang immediately put on a look of a little fan girl, "Tell me."

"Come with me to see Lord Shen."

Old Lord Shen had lost two wives in his life, and then he never remarried. He didn't care much about his concubines. Usually, they weren't allowed to look for him without his orders, so now that he was about to die, there was no one around him except the steward.

The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Even with incense burning, it still didn't smell good.

Su Tang wrinkled her little nose, but didn't show it. The bedroom was divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by curtains. At this moment, she was standing in the outer room, looking down at her pearl embroidered shoes.

In the inner room, because of Rong Jin's arrival, there was finally some movement.

On the bed, Old Lord Shen was terminally ill. His face was gray and defeated, and his eyes were no longer as shrewd as before, becoming turbid. However, because of Rong Jin's arrival, he struggled to get out of bed.

Someone brought a chair and placed it by the bed. Rong Jin sat down.

"Grandson Prince," Old Lord Shen's voice sounded like a bellows, extremely unpleasant. Because of his serious illness, he spoke slowly, word by word, making it difficult to connect.

Old Lord Shen was such a shrewd person back then, but because of the infighting in the inner courtyard, and because of his mistakes, he almost caused his younger brother's family to die in vain.

He was ashamed of his younger brother, and even more ashamed of Rong Jin. That was the only first legitimate son of the Crown Prince. It was his younger brother's family who risked their lives, even including his nephew's life, to barely save the Imperial Grandson.

Rong Jin nodded. Seeing him lift the quilt and try to get out of bed to salute, he said, "Old Lord Shen doesn't need to salute."

Old Lord Shen's eyes were turbid, and he couldn't see people clearly, but his mind wasn't muddled. He knew that he had reached his limit, so he didn't force himself and continued to lean on the head of the bed, panting and struggling to speak.

He babbled for a long time, all he wanted was to leave a bloodline for the Shen family.

His sons, except for the second and fifth sons who were far away on the frontier, had more or less mistreated him. Imperial children were supremely noble, and even if they were mentally challenged, they couldn't tolerate outsiders neglecting them.

He knew he deserved to die, but who knew, Rong Jin suddenly said, "I can spare the Shen family's life."

He said the Shen family, not just one of them. Old Lord Shen's turbid eyes lit up, "What does Grandson Prince want?"

Rong Jin, "The Third Miss of the Second Branch of the Shen family, I want her."

Although the bedroom was divided into an outer room and an inner room, the curtains couldn't block any sound. At this moment, Su Tang could hear their conversation clearly.

Of course Su Tang knew Rong Jin's identity, but Shen Tao didn't, so she had to show surprise.

Therefore, there was movement in the outer room.

Su Tang was standing with a night lamp right behind her. Her surprise caused her to step back, knocking the night lamp to the ground.

With a bang, even Old Lord Shen noticed it.

He couldn't see people very clearly anymore, but he could barely see a reckless little girl outside, a fiery red figure, very bright.

He was in a daze. He hadn't seen outsiders for too long, and he had almost forgotten that it was almost the New Year. Among all his grandchildren, the second son's daughter was the most naughty, but although she was the most naughty, she was his favorite.

However, Old Lord Hou wasn't good at expressing himself and didn't know how to get along with such a young child. Although he liked her, he liked her in his heart.

"Is that Tao Tao?"

Su Tang was flustered. Hearing his voice, she took a long time to recover, "Grandpa."

Timid and fearful, with none of her usual arrogance, Old Lord Shen sighed. He had scared her after all.
