Chapter 147 She Has Her Pride and Dignity
Someone from the Duke's Mansion? Did Xie Jian come here after he passed the Imperial Examination?
What a coincidence.
Could it be that Yu had noticed something?
"Aheng, you have to be careful." Although Nanny Feng had not been with the Xie family for a long time, whether it was the legitimate daughter of the Ning Wang Mansion, or the County Duke Mansion, the Meng family, and the Wu family, they could all have relationships with people from the Xie family. According to her decades of experience in the inner house, there must be something going on.
No matter what, she hopes that the Xie family can live in peace.
Watching Nanny Feng leave the room, Shen Heng thought about what would happen if Xie Jian was not around and someone suddenly made things difficult for them.
Just as she was thinking this, a man walked past her and said, "Madam Shen, please don't worry. Mr. Xie has already made some arrangements when he went to the tribute court. If you are in a hurry, you can find the teacher." Then he left as if he was just passing by.
This voice, Shen Heng remembered, was Li Hu's.
But what Chen Heng didn't expect was that the next day, not long after she left the house, someone from the Duke's Mansion invited her to get on a carriage.
Chen Heng had no way to refuse, or rather, was directly invited into a carriage by two maids, one on each side, and taken to a wing of a restaurant, where she met Madam Tang.
Mrs. Tang sat upright, not necessarily in a very high position, but her eyes gave people a feeling of looking down on others. Apart from anything else, both she and Princess Ning had captured this aura very well.
Chen Heng bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam Tang." She showed no fear. Ordinary people also have the aura of ordinary people.
Madam Tang said nothing, but looked at her coldly, from head to toe, and then from toe to head: "My husband often tells me about Mr. Xie, and he also said that people often say that they look like brothers. What do you think, Madam Shen?"
"Lord Tang is as profound as a mountain and as graceful as the Yi River, which is like a spring breeze. How can my husband compare to Lord Tang?" Shen Heng said modestly.
“Don’t you think Madam Shen that they look like brothers?”
This test was quite straightforward. Shen Heng said softly, "Women are stupid. Does Lord Tang have a brother who looks like my husband?"
"I heard that Mr. Xie's brother is missing. I wonder if he has been found?" When Yu said this, she subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hands, and looked at Chen Heng with a pair of cold almond-shaped eyes.
"My brother was eaten by a giant tiger." Chen Heng said with a sad face, "Everyone in the Southern Ming Dynasty knows about it."
"My husband likes Mr. Xie and wants to help him, so he sent someone to Nanming to find someone to paint his brother's portrait. Look, does it look like this?" Yu gestured, and the maid handed the portrait on the table to Chen Heng.
Shen Heng took a look and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Master Tang?"
The maidservant beside her shouted, "Madam Shen, the lady is asking you a question."
Chen Heng returned the painting to the maidservant and said, "Madam, when my husband and I got married, my brother had already been killed, and I never met him. Even if others say he looks like Lord Tang, it's impossible for him to look exactly like Lord Tang." She smiled and said, "You can't say that Lord Tang is not Lord Tang, but my husband's brother."
There were clouds in Yu's eyes, but she didn't show it on her face: "I invited Madam Shen here today just to drink tea, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Madam." Shen Heng sat down as she was told, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "The fragrance fills my mouth, and the taste is long-lasting. It's really good tea."
“Mrs. Shen knows tea?”
She understands milk tea. Chen Heng said, "Women don't understand, but they can naturally taste good things." Anyway, just say good things and don't make enemies.
