Chapter 353: Conditions for Leaving

“Heh, you still did it even though you knew that it was impossible. No. 3, do you really take what this old man said to heart? You crossed the line time and time again! Do I look like a pushover? Do I look like I can be kneaded by you? Or do you think the chances of me agreeing after you’ve acted first are higher?”

If it weren’t for the fact that the person keeping an eye on watching Tang Wenyi found out that she had secretly bought a plane ticket to Shanghai, he would probably only react after she left! This made the old man think that his authority was threatened. He really couldn’t understand how his third daughter could betray him to this extent.

In the end, he could only blame Lu Yaohua. He had long said that this man was unreliable. He did not expect that not only was he not capable, but he also led his daughter astray, making him so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger! He could not possibly lower himself and go to Shanghai to scold him, right? He was just an ordinary person in dire straits. Was he even worth the trouble?

If others found out, he would be embarrassed!

“But I really have something urgent! Old Master, trust me. As long as you let me go out this time, I promise I won’t make such a request again! I’ll stay in my room obediently! If you let me go east, I won’t go west! How about that, Old Master?”

Tang Wenyi begged humbly. Success or failure depended on this. She had to rush to Shanghai by hook or by crook!

The living room fell silent. The other party did not respond at all. Seeing that time was passing bit by bit, she became more and more anxious. In her panic, she actually met the old master’s black eyes that made her shiver! Instantly, goosebumps appeared all over her body. She opened her mouth awkwardly, but she could not say the script she had prepared. It was all stuck in her throat!

She knew that if she didn’t say something, her plan would be ruined! But under the old man’s pressure, she was really instinctively afraid of him. It was as if she was being targeted by some large beast! No, no, no, how could it be? It must be her imagination. Isn’t the person sitting in front of me an old man with gray hair at the temples? He even gasps for breath if he does any strenuous exercise.

Why would I be afraid of someone like that?

But… her body told her honestly it was true that she was afraid and it was true that she wanted to get out.

If the main entrance didn’t work, then she could only creep out in the middle of the night although the possibility of this succeeding wasn’t very high. After all, if the old man made up his mind not to let her go out, he would definitely send more people to monitor her. At that time, no matter what she did, there would be people following her. She still had to fight with those people!

She thought that she was very secretive, but little did she know that Old Master and Butler He had seen all of this. The latter held his forehead helplessly. When will Third Miss mature? Isn’t this expression and activity too obvious?

The old master looked at his worrisome third daughter and said expressionlessly, “How’s the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra I asked you to copy?”

At the mention of these words, Tang Wenyi’s head hurt slightly, and her right hand hurt even more. She said guiltily, “It’s… it’s alright. Don’t I copy this every day? You should know about this too. I’m not lazy! I promise!”

Promise?

What was the use of a promise?!

When the old master heard this, his ears were about to get calluses. He stretched out his hand to support his chin and said, “If you go out now, you won’t be able to complete the mission I assigned to you this week. Are you planning to disobey my orders, Tang Wenyi?”

“No, no! Of course that’s not what I meant!”

Tang Wenyi hurriedly explained, “I’ll be back early in the morning the day after tomorrow. At that time, I’ll definitely work overtime to copy Buddhist scriptures. I’ll definitely be able to hand over a perfectly written sheet within the stipulated time! So, Old Master…”

Hurry up and agree!

This was her bottom line! Just thinking about the future made her feel excited!

Logically speaking, this kind of scenario would only happen when she was in school. However, it was not so difficult for her when she was studying. Because she was the third daughter of the Tang family, the teachers would not say anything even if she did not do her homework. But now that Old Master was the head of the Tang family, his heart would not soften just because they were related by blood!

She couldn’t help but curse in her heart. She was already an adult, so why was the old master still controlling her like a child? He didn’t allow her to do this, and he didn’t allow her to do that, as if he was afraid that she would cause trouble! Why didn’t he trust her? She wanted to prove that she was not inferior to the other sisters! If they could be the head of the family, why couldn’t she?

If the Old Master knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scold her for not knowing her limits! As the head of the family, how could he not know what his daughter was capable of?! She was simply dreaming! He might even want to bring Tang Wenyi back to the furnace to rebuild her! Unfortunately, he did not read her mind.

“Do you want to go out that badly?”

Tang Wen saw an opportunity and quickly said pitifully, “I haven’t gone out for a long time. If this continues, I think I’m going to be depressed! You don’t want to see a mentally unstable daughter, right? I’m just going to get some fresh air. I won’t do anything. Old Master, I really want to go out!”

If she lost her mind, she would be completely useless. At that time, the Yang family would probably not agree to a lunatic being the wife of the family. After thinking about it again and again, the old master said, “Come back early. If you stay outside for too long, you don’t have to return to the capital for the rest of your life. My Tang family will treat it as if we don’t have a third miss like you, understand?”

“Understood, understood! Then I’ll leave first!”

After saying this, Tang Wenyi ran away without looking back. The old master looked at her back and rubbed his temples tiredly. He hoped that No. 3 would keep her promise and not cause him any trouble in such a short time! He took a sip of warm tea and said, “No. 5, it’s so late. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Tang Yajing, who was wearing a nightgown, walked out from the shadows. She didn’t look sleepy at all. Instead, she looked energetic and lively. She said, “I just came out to drink a few mouthfuls of water. I didn’t expect to see Third Sister going out.”

She was looking forward to her third sister’s trip to Shanghai. Although the other party had hidden the purpose of her trip very well, she had guessed it from the clues. Does she think that she could stand out in the circle with just a little cleverness? Isn’t she thinking too simply? She actually thought that I would cause trouble. Do I look like such a petty person?

Besides, she reckoned that even if she didn’t interfere this time, someone would help her kill Tang Wenyi!
