Chapter 115 Pretend
Chen Xian also knew that Concubine Ye would not let Chen Tang off easily, but she was poisoned and suffered two days of torture that was worse than death. Concubine Ye compensated her with an oriental pearl, but it was snatched away by Chen Tang. How could she be willing to accept this?
Shen Xian suppressed her anger and asked, "Why did Second Aunt take so long to go to Wang's house? Did something happen at Wang's house?"
When the Second Wife mentions the Wang family, she gets a headache.
Chen Tang brought two Dongzhu back to Qingyi Garden. Ginkgo knew where the Dongzhu came from and grinned. The young lady had said before that she would never let the eldest lady take advantage of her again, but she didn't believe it. Later, she really didn't let the eldest lady take advantage of her. Now, she could even get back the eldest lady's things. Ginkgo looked proud of her young lady's success.
Chen Tang couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Si'er came in and said, "Miss, the Marquis of Changping's mansion caught the masked man who beat up the Marquis of Changping's son. They hung him on the city gate and said he would be exposed to the sun for three days and three nights."
Si'er didn't know that Chen Tang already knew about this.
Chen Tang asked, "Do you know who the person wearing the mask is?"
Si Er shook his head, "I don't know. Those hanging on the city gates are also wearing masks."
Chen Tang really couldn't figure out the purpose of the Changping Marquis' Mansion doing this. Was it because they couldn't catch the person and lost face, so they pretended to catch the person for the sake of face, or was it to paralyze them?
Chen Tang felt that the former possibility was more likely, but it was not a bad thing for Xie Guimo. Even if the Marquis of Changping Mansion found out and openly hung someone on the city gate to vent their anger, it would not be easy to question Xie Guimo. Besides, no one in the Marquis of Changping Mansion dared to do such a thing.
Chen Tang didn't take this matter to heart, or rather, she didn't take it too seriously from beginning to end. It wasn't the first day she knew that Xie Guimo was investigating the Changping Marquis Mansion.
She actually hoped that Xie Guimo could find solid evidence to bring down the Marquis of Changping and Concubine Ye.
Chen Tang poured himself some tea, and Si'er glanced outside the beaded curtain before whispering, "Miss, do you know why the Wang family is looking for the second wife today?"
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows, "Something happened to the Wang family?"
Si Er didn't know if something had happened to the Wang family. "The eldest young lady of the Wang family is pregnant. It's a great blessing to be born..."
Marrying a girl into the family is a great joyous event, but the wedding night of Young Master Wang and the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion was very chaotic. It is not certain whether this is a marriage of joy or a marriage of joy to become a father.
No wonder the Wang family didn’t go directly to the second wife to announce the good news, but went back to find her.
The Wang family probably didn't plan to keep the child.
The eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and the eldest son of the Changping Marquis got pregnant just a few days before their marriage. No matter how skilled the doctor is, he cannot tell the exact date when they got pregnant. However, if the Yongning Marquis's Mansion had the ability to make Young Master Wang endure the green hat on that day, they should also have the ability to make Young Master Wang wear the green hat tightly.
The Second Wife and the Wang family plotted against her, and in the end they got such a young mistress. This was definitely retribution for the Wang family.
Si'er's ability to get information was better than Chen Tang expected. Chen Tang told Yin Xing, "Give Si'er the pair of silver bracelets under the dresser."
Si'er didn't expect Chen Tang to reward her with such a heavy and exquisite silver bracelet. She was so happy that her eyebrows danced, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."
Ginkgo smiled and said, "You have done your job diligently, and you will definitely receive a reward from the girl in the future."
Si'er nodded repeatedly.
…
On this day, the sky was clear in the morning, but it was covered with dark clouds in the afternoon, and in the evening, heavy rain washed the ground.
The wind was blowing wildly, making the windows rattle.
The rain lasted on and off for three days.
It didn't clear up until the fourth day.
Chen Tang had been locked up in the room for three days without going out, and he was almost suffocating. So, as soon as the sky cleared up, he took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall to pay his respects to the old lady.
Chen Tang went quite late. When she arrived, Chen Xian, Chen Ran and the others had all arrived. When Chen Tang entered, she just happened to hear Chen Ran say, "Grandma is the best."
The old lady laughed and said, "They are all people who can't stay in the mansion. After only a few days of rain, they can't wait to fly away."
Seeing Chen Tang go in, Chen Luo said, "Second sister, Rouge Pavilion has a lot of new rouge. I heard that the flavors and colors are very good. Let's go pick and see if there is anything suitable. Then we can go shopping for a while. Do you want to go with us?"
The happiest time for Shen Luo to go shopping in the past two months was when she was with Shen Tang, so she hoped that Shen Tang would go with her.
Chen Tang also wanted to go out of the house, but she didn't know whether the old lady would agree. Chen Tang looked at the old lady, and the old lady said, "If you want to go, let's go together."
The masked man who offended the son of Changping Marquis was hanged on the city wall yesterday. Concubine Ye also compensated for the wrong accusation against Shen Tang. Concubine Ye and the Changping Marquis Mansion no longer targeted Shen Tang. There would be no danger for her to leave the mansion, so the old lady stopped restraining Shen Tang and prevented her from going out.
Chen Luo couldn't wait to have someone prepare the carriage. When the maid came in to report that the carriage was ready, Chen Tang and the others stood up and left.
When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the carriage was already parked there. Chen Tang still decided to ride in the same carriage with Shen Ying. Although she was reluctant, there was one good thing about riding in the same carriage with Shen Ying: she didn't have to worry about the Second Wife tampering with the carriage.
Shen Xian was also unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Shen Tang. If possible, she would rather ride with Shen Ran. She was afraid of being scolded by the old lady and was unwilling to give the carriage to Shen Tang and Shen Luo, so she could only endure it.
The carriage traveled smoothly all the way until it stopped in front of Yanzhi Pavilion.
Rouge is the largest rouge and powder shop in Kyoto. Any new rouge that comes out will surely attract the attention of the ladies from noble families in Kyoto. In addition, it has rained for three consecutive days and they have been bored staying in the house. Now that the weather has cleared up, they have all gone out.
The rouge shop was so busy that it looked like a newly opened business, and the shop assistants were overwhelmed with so many people.
In fact, Chen Tang knew exactly what rouge the Rouge Shop would produce in the next four years, but as a girl, she naturally liked these things and could not resist.
She likes it so much that even though she only has one face, she doesn't need so much rouge. In fact, Chen Tang has never used up a box of rouge properly. But even if she doesn't need it, she still has to have it, even in all colors and flavors.
Chen Xian and the others chose carefully, trying again and again on the back of their hands, but Chen Tang did not try anything. He picked out three boxes of rouge and asked the waiter to pack them up.
Chen Tang had nothing else to buy, and didn't know when Chen Xian and the others would finish their shopping, so he went to sit over there, drink tea and wait for Chen Ran and the others. Only after they had made their selection did they leave Rouge Pavilion together.
Just after leaving Yanzhi Pavilion and taking a few steps, the bustling street suddenly became chaotic, and there were urgent shouts, "Make way! Make way! I can't hold the carriage anymore!"
I saw a luxurious carriage rushing towards me. The servant pulled the reins tightly, but it was of no use. He was shaken by the carriage and almost fell off.
Chen Tang looked at the carriage that was speeding past him and felt that it looked familiar. He couldn't remember who it belonged to for a moment. Yin Xing said, "Miss, it seems to be the carriage of Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion..."
