[Rebirth + Scum-Slaying + Sweet Romance + Feel-Good Revenge]
Shen Tang only realized upon her death that her noble Eldest Sister—now the revered Empress—was not Father and Mother’s true child...
Chapter 32 Human Relationships
The man looked at Chen Tang with an expression of "who else but me?"
Shen Tang silently suppressed the shock on his face.
There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary.
She thought she could get what she wanted, but she didn't expect that this guy was behind it. Chen Tang said, "Then I owe you another favor."
The man leaned closer to Chen Tang, his breath spraying on her face, "If you must count this as a favor, then how are you going to thank me?"
Chen Tang, "..."
Could this bastard not get so close to her?
My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
But he did help her, so she should thank him. Chen Tang slipped between the man and the antique shelf and escaped. "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm sure I'll return the favor when I have the chance."
After all, she lived four more years. She didn't dare to say that she knew every major event that happened in Kyoto and even Da Qi in the next four years, but she was sure that she knew more than he did.
Wasn't he investigating the Marquis of Changping's Mansion? In his previous life, the Marquis of Changping's Mansion was not only not overthrown, but was also conferred the title of Duke soon after...
Thinking of this, Shen Tang's mouth twitched. The man was investigating the Marquis of Changping Mansion, but she said this. Isn't this to increase the ambition of the Marquis of Changping Mansion and destroy his prestige?
Chen Tang didn't dare to say it, at least it was not appropriate at the moment, so she could only say tactfully, "The Marquis of Changping Mansion is the family home of Concubine Ye, it is not so easy to bring down, you...be careful when investigating the Marquis of Changping Mansion."
The man laughed, and Shen Tang's face became hot. He asked in embarrassment, "What are you laughing at?"
The man said, "You are worried about me."
Can this man be a little more serious? Chen Tang couldn't help but glare at him. At this time, Qiu Tong's voice came from outside the door, "You stay outside, who will serve the girl in the room?"
Chen Tang was not afraid to let Ginkgo know about the man's existence, but Qiu Tong had only been with her for a few days and was trained by the old lady herself, so Chen Tang did not dare to let Qiu Tong know.
Chen Tang pushed the man towards the window in a hurry, "Go quickly."
The man leaned close to Chen Tang's ear and said, "I will come to find you again."
The hot breath drilled into her ears, and Shen Tang's face was so hot that it could be a pancake. She glared at the man again and again, and the man finally jumped out of the window and left.
Almost as soon as the man left, Ginkgo didn't stop Qiu Tong and Mother Zhou, and the door was pushed open.
Gingko came in first and saw that only Chen Tang was in the room. She heaved a sigh of relief, luckily the person had left.
Mother Zhou came in through the beaded curtain and asked, "Why doesn't the young lady let the maid serve in the room?"
Chen Tang said, "I find Ginkgo too noisy and want to be alone for a while."
ginkgo,"……"
Can't the girl find a better excuse?
She will be scolded by Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou did not scold Yin Xing. She just thought that Chen Tang was troubled by the rumors outside, and comforted Chen Tang, "Good food is never too late. Since Madam has given Miss a dream, asking her to marry when she is sixteen, then she will definitely marry the best person in the world."
Chen Tang dared to tell Ginkgo that she would never marry in her life, but she didn't dare to tell Mother Zhou. She could only nod vaguely and asked, "Mother Zhou, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Mother Zhou said, "It's nothing important. I'm just going to go back to the farm tomorrow. I was in a hurry last time and left some things at the farm. I need to go back and get them."
Chen Tang said, "Mother Zhou, go back and see if there are any suitable maids in the manor, and bring two back."
These days, she had asked Ginkgo to keep an eye on which maids ran into Chen Xi and the Second Madam's courtyard for no reason. There were two who ran very diligently, and she was going to find an opportunity to deal with them.
Chen Tang wanted to take back the important people left behind by Jiang Shi. Mother Zhou was so happy that she couldn't refuse. She agreed immediately.
Mother Zhou came to talk about this matter, and since it was nothing, she left.
After Mother Zhou left, Qiu Tong also went out. Gingko came up and asked, "Girl, who is the man wearing the mask?"
She followed the girl closely, but she had no idea when the girl met the man.
Knowing that Gingko was curious, or rather worried, Chen Tang did not hide it from her. Besides, he could not hide it. When he left, he said that he would come back to see her. Chen Tang said, "He saved me twice. Yesterday at the Jokhang Temple, if it were not for him, I would have been sold to the prince of Changping by the eldest lady."
Chen Tang's voice seemed to be wrapped in frost, and Ginkgo was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Not only was she shocked that the man had saved Chen Tang twice, she was even more shocked by what Chen Tang said about Chen Xi selling her to the Marquis of Changping...
So the man in the mask was the one who kicked the Prince of Changping down the hillside at the Jokhang Temple yesterday?
Ginkgo's eyes were red. "How could the girl...how could she..."
The elder girl drugged her and plotted to have her marry in her place. She thought the elder girl could only be this bad, but she didn't expect she could be even more vicious. What sin did the girl commit to have such a sister?
Ginkgo felt sorry for Chen Tang, and her heart was clenched with grief.
Ginkgo knew all about this, and he was not afraid of letting her know more. Chen Tang looked at Ginkgo and said, "Don't you think the Second Madam treats the eldest daughter too well, better than her own daughter? In fact, you are not wrong. The eldest daughter is indeed not my eldest sister. She is the Second Madam's biological daughter."
Ginkgo was shocked. "How...how is this possible?"
Chen Tang said with a dark look in his eyes, "It's a pity that when my mother was alive, no one believed what she said."
Gingko said, "If the eldest daughter is the second wife's biological daughter, then who gave birth to the third daughter?"
Shen Tang was also very curious about Shen Ran's life experience.
But what is certain is that Shen Ran is definitely not the second wife’s biological son.
The Second Madam taught Shen Ran to follow Chen Xian's lead, and she has almost become Shen Xian's follower. In her previous life, after Shen Xian married the Second Prince, Shen Ran was hastily married by the Second Madam to the good-for-nothing nephew of Su Liumianhua from her mother's family. It was so hasty that it seemed as if someone would die if she didn't marry him right away. In short, the Second Madam had no motherly love for Shen Ran, and it was not known where she had adopted him from.
Ginkgo said, "Miss, you have to tell the Marquis about these things."
Chen Tang said, "I told my father the day I knelt in the ancestral hall. I don't know how much my father believed it. I can only slowly check it myself."
I don't know who the man is, maybe I can ask him for help...
Shen Tang fell into deep thought.
Ginkgo didn't dare to disturb and just stood by quietly.
Qinglan Garden.
The second wife went to see Chen Xi. Just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she heard the sound of something being smashed in the house.
There was a rumor that Shen Tang was unlucky in marriage, and sure enough, Shen Xian, who was born with twins, was also unlucky. The maid reported the rumor to Shen Xian, who was so angry that she smashed things to vent her anger.
When the second wife entered the room, she saw a mess on the floor. The tea tray was so broken that there was no place to step.
"Pack your things out quickly."
Several maids came in quickly to clean up.
The second wife walked up to Shen Xi and said, "Don't get angry and make yourself sick."
Tears sparkled in Chen Xi's eyes, and the Second Madam said distressedly, "Even if the Second Miss is unlucky in marriage, you won't be unlucky in marriage."
Xian'er is her biological daughter, born more than an hour earlier than the second girl. How could they both be unlucky in marriage with different horoscopes? The fact that Prince Jingyang and Xian'er have been engaged for half a year and nothing has happened is the best proof. It's just that those people outside are ignorant that they act this way.
The second wife said, "I'll ask someone to calculate the second young lady's horoscope tomorrow and I'll know."
