Chapter 110 Rumors
In fact, when Chen Tang saw Princess Jingyang in the Jokhang Temple, he was already 70% certain in his heart. Now Xie Guimo is here too. If it wasn't really calculated, it must be Xie Guimo's work.
Xie Guimo touched Chen Tang's face and said, "Your eldest sister is engaged, so if I come to propose marriage again, there will be nothing to say, right?"
Marry within a month, or there will be bloodshed and disaster for your parents...
It was indeed his work.
Xie Guimo didn't have the patience to wait another month. The Taoist priest said that she had to get married within a month. If he wanted the wedding to be grand, he had to settle it within three or five days. As long as Chen Xian was engaged to someone else, he would come to propose marriage. The Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion would have no reason not to promise him Chen Tang. Otherwise, the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion would definitely find a way to persuade him to marry Chen Xian. After all, the two had an engagement. Thinking of this, Xie Guimo felt depressed. His grandfather was so unreliable.
The poor old lady came to the Jokhang Temple to pray for the Marquis's mansion, but after Chen Xian's divination, she couldn't sleep or eat for several days.
However, it was not only Xie Guimo who used the Taoist priest to achieve his goals, but also the second wife.
The Second Wife wanted to use the Taoist priest's mouth to force someone to come and ask for Chen Tang's hand in marriage, and she also used the excuse of a bloody disaster. As long as someone came to propose marriage, Concubine Ye and the Marquis of Changping's Mansion would know who beat up the Marquis of Changping's son. It was just that the Second Wife's people went there at the wrong time, and were caught by Xie Guimo's people. How could the Taoist priest dare to help the Second Wife? It would be better for him to give up his life.
Ginkgo and Qiutong were standing far away. When they heard someone talking, Ginkgo turned around quickly and said, "Girl, someone is coming."
Chen Tang raised her foot and was about to leave, but Xie Guimo grabbed her hand and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
Chen Tang said anxiously, “Someone will find out.”
Xie Guimo didn't like what he heard, "You make it sound like we're having an affair."
Chen Tang, "..."
Although it's not to the point of having an affair, they haven't gotten engaged yet. Even if they were engaged, they shouldn't have any private contact.
The voices were getting closer and closer, and Shen Tang struggled harder, but Xie Guimo didn't let go, so Shen Tang couldn't get away.
The two girls came over here talking and laughing, and when they saw the two men standing there, they blushed all of a sudden and turned to leave.
When he was leaving, he caught a glimpse of Chen Tang and was quite surprised. Wasn't that the second young lady from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion?
Afraid that she had seen it wrong, one of the girls turned around to take a look. This time she not only saw Chen Tang clearly, but also Xie Guimo. She was so surprised that she almost stumbled.
Isn’t that the Prince of Jingyang? !
The two girls were afraid that they might have witnessed something terrible and be silenced, so they ran away like the wind.
Seeing them run away, Chen Tang was filled with shame and anger, and stomped hard on Xie Guimo's foot, "Asshole! You did it on purpose!"
Chen Tang stepped hard, and Xie Guimo's forehead trembled in pain. "You would rather be buried with me than marry me, so I jumped into the lake to save you, and I scared the horse to save you, but there was no rumor at all. This time, there will be something, right?"
There was a strong sense of helplessness in his tone.
It's so difficult to spread a rumor.
Chen Tang couldn't bear to hear that and didn't dare to look him in the eye, "Then you'll probably be disappointed."
This bastard doesn't even think about his own identity. He is the prince of Jingyang. Who dares to spread rumors about him, especially by chance?
Xie Guimo said, "If it can't be transmitted, I will release it myself. I have to let my father-in-law be mentally prepared."
As for the two girls, they let out their anger through the small path, and only slowed down their pace after making sure no one was catching up with them.
One of the girls in a green dress said, "I didn't even see who it was, why did you pull me so fast?"
If they were a newly married couple, even if they were a little affectionate, it wouldn't be too unusual, but it would make them look like thieves.
Another girl asked, "Do you know who those two people were just now?"
The girl in the green dress asked, "You know?"
The girl nodded, "It's the Prince of Jingyang and the second daughter of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion..."
The girl in the green dress was shocked. "How could it be them? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
The girl said, "I saw it clearly."
“Isn’t Miss Shen unwilling to marry the Prince of Jingyang?”
“I find it strange, too.”
"Maybe we met and had a few words..."
“But Prince Jingyang grabbed Miss Shen’s hand and almost hugged Miss Shen in his arms. They are very close…”
"No matter what their relationship is, we have to keep this matter to ourselves. We cannot afford to offend the Prince of Jingyang."
So many troubles come from the mouth, so it’s better to keep your mouth shut.
The two girls reached a consensus and decided not to stay nearby and walked towards the crowded area.
However, the two girls did not notice that there was a maid hiding behind the tree. When they walked away, the maid came out from behind the tree and walked quickly towards the meditation room behind the main hall.
Besides, Chen Xi had no intention of going to the market and wanted to find the Second Madam to ask what was going on, but the Second Madam was accompanying the Old Madam to listen to the master explaining the scriptures. Although the Second Madam was drowsy and couldn't sit still, she had repeatedly made the Old Madam unhappy recently, so she didn't dare to leave without permission and had to sit there and accompany her even though she couldn't sit still.
Chen Xi was getting anxious, and twice she sent a maid to urge the Second Madam. Only then did the Second Madam get up, come out of the meditation room, and ask, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xian glanced at Shen Ran and Shen Luo, and the second wife went to the meditation room next door.
After entering, Chen Xi asked, "Was the Taoist priest arranged by Second Aunt?"
The Second Madam thought that the matter was handled smoothly and said with a smile, "It was arranged by Second Aunt."
Chen Xi was anxious, "Why did Second Aunt let the Taoist priest say that if I don't get married within a month, there will be a bloody disaster and my parents will be implicated?"
The second wife was stunned and looked at the maid beside her. The maid said anxiously, "How could it be the eldest girl? I asked the Taoist priest to say that about the second girl. Today, I also reminded the Taoist priest. The second girl was wearing a lake blue dress, there was no way he could be mistaken."
There's no way it can be wrong?
It's obviously completely wrong!
Chen Xian scolded, "How on earth are you doing this?! The Taoist priest said that my second sister is about to get married, and her husband is a rare talent!"
The second wife looked unhappy. The maid knelt down and said, "I have really explained it clearly. I don't know what the Taoist priest did. I will go find him right away!"
The maid stood up and was about to leave, but the second wife said, "What's the point of going to the Taoist priest now? Will we make a scene and let everyone know that I bribed the Taoist priest?!"
It's really more of a failure than a success.
If this wasn't the Jokhang Temple, the Second Wife would have punished the maid.
Shen Xi said angrily, "Then what should I do?"
The second wife had a headache, "What the Taoist said is not true, there won't be any bloody disaster."
Chen Xian was not afraid of bloodshed, but Chen Tang and Shen Luo had heard what the Taoist said, and she was afraid that the old lady would marry her off within a month, and she didn't want to get married in a hurry.
She couldn't even handle the smallest things, so the second wife comforted Shen Xi and coaxed her for a long time before she felt relieved.
The old lady was listening to a lecture, so it was inconvenient for her to leave for too long. The second wife wanted to go back. Just as she was about to get up, a maid came in and whispered something in the second wife's ear. The second wife's face turned pale, "How is this possible?!"
