Chapter 117 Merit
The old lady had never thought about what the Prince Duan's Mansion was thinking. Prince Ning was injured while saving Princess Roujia. Would he tell Prince Duan's Mansion that it was Chen Tang who ordered him to save her? Doesn't that mean that Prince Ning saved the person, and Chen Tang just said so, and she gets half of the credit?
The old lady said, "Don't be too protective of Tang'er. Prince Duan's Mansion won't know about this."
Chen Sui said, "If Prince Duan's Mansion knows, they will definitely come to thank you. If Prince Duan's Mansion comes, you will exempt Tang'er from punishment within three days. If no one comes, I will not hesitate to punish Tang'er."
Although Chen Sui protected Chen Tang, it was not without reason. The old lady had nothing to say, and neither did anyone else. Otherwise, if it got to the ears of Prince Duan's Mansion, it would mean that the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion did not allow Chen Tang to save Princess Roujia.
but--
How could this matter possibly reach Prince Duan’s Mansion?
As for Chen Tang, she knelt in the Buddhist temple for a quarter of an hour. Chen Sui sent someone to release her, and Chen Tang stood up without hesitation.
As soon as Chen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden, she heard that Chen Sui had pleaded for her. Yin Xing was a little worried, "If Prince Duan doesn't know, won't the young lady still have to kneel down as punishment?"
Chen Tang said, "If you don't know, then you don't know. I asked Prince Ning to save Princess Roujia, not for Prince Duan's Mansion to thank me."
People are kind to each other. Princess Duan and Princess Roujia were good to her, so she didn't want Princess Roujia to have any mishap. If the person who frightened the horse on the street today was an unrelated person, she could only sympathize with him and pray in her heart that he was okay, but she would definitely not ask her brother to save him.
Chen Sui helped to intercede, and the old lady temporarily spared her punishment. Chen Tang knew that this matter was not handled properly, because in everyone's eyes, she was ordering the Prince of Ning's Mansion, not her own elder brother.
Knowing that the Second Madam and Shen Xi would not miss such a good opportunity to ask the old lady to punish her, Shen Tang decided to restrain herself and reflect on herself behind closed doors to avoid being criticized by the Second Madam and Shen Xi.
The next day, Chen Xian and the second wife went to greet the old lady in the morning, but Chen Tang didn't show up for a long time, so they were waiting to make trouble.
In the end, instead of waiting for Chen Tang, Qiu Tong came.
Qiu Tong stepped forward and said, "Young lady knows that she shouldn't let Prince Ning do anything dangerous. The situation was urgent at the time and young lady didn't think much about it. Afterwards, she realized that she really shouldn't have done that. Please exempt her from punishment for the time being. For the next three days, the second young lady said that she will stay in the room to reflect on herself and won't go anywhere."
Obviously, he was protected by Shen Sui, and he admitted his fault so sincerely. The old lady believed that Shen Tang really knew he was wrong, and Shen Ying couldn't find any excuses to find fault.
But for three consecutive days, no one came to Prince Duan's mansion, and the day agreed upon by Shen Sui and the old lady was approaching.
That day, Chen Tang was embroidering in the house when Chen Xian walked in and said, "The three-day deadline has come. You should kneel down in the Buddhist temple and reflect on your sins!"
Chen Xiang still remembered the day when Chen Tang sent her to the Buddhist temple to copy the family rules. Now that she had the chance to take revenge, she would not miss it.
Chen Tang glanced at Chen Xi and asked, "Is this what grandma meant?"
Chen Xi said, "Everyone in the mansion knows about the agreement between grandma and father. Is it necessary for grandma to send someone to escort you to the temple?"
Chen Tang chuckled, "Why would Grandma need to send someone? Aren't you eager to come?"
It's no use showing off your eloquence. She, Chen Tang, will definitely take the punishment today.
Chen Tang knew that Chen Xi would not let her get away with it, so she put down the embroidery frame in her hand and stood up.
Chen Tang stepped out, and Chen Xian, Chen Ran and the others followed him out, out of Qingyi Garden, and directly to the Buddhist temple.
Chen Tang smiled, "Eldest sister, are you going to watch me reflect on myself?"
Chen Xi said, "When I copied Buddhist scriptures, you accompanied me. Today I will repay you for the favor you did me."
Revenge is inevitable.
Chen Tang stepped into the Buddhist hall and knelt on the cushion.
Chen Xian found a seat and sat down, as if she would watch as long as Chen Tang knelt. Those who were punished to reflect on their mistakes knew that as long as no one was watching, kneeling became sitting.
You went against her and now you're in her hands. Don't expect an easy life.
Chen Tang knelt for half a cup of tea before her knees could no longer bear the strain. She forced herself not to move. Just as she was about to bear it, Si'er ran in and said happily, "Miss, Princess Duan is here!"
Chen Xian, "……!!!"
Chen Xi's face turned green.
Why did he come at this time, not earlier or later? Was he coming just to slap her in the face? !
Looking at Chen Xi's face that suppressed her anger, Chen Tang felt so happy in her heart. She stopped kneeling straight and made herself feel more comfortable. Ginkgo said, "Miss, you don't have to kneel anymore."
Chen Tang relaxed for a moment, then knelt down immediately, "How can I not kneel? Grandmother punished me to kneel. If grandma doesn't let me leave, I can't leave."
She said this while glancing at Chen Xi. This one sentence made Chen Xi feel very uncomfortable. She said angrily, "What do you mean by this? Do you want Grandmother to send someone to invite you?!"
This is what Chen Tang meant. Since she knelt, she couldn't kneel in vain. She had to let the old lady know how eager Chen Ying was to punish her. If she had to wait for another quarter of an hour, she wouldn't have to come to the Buddhist hall.
Chen Tang said, "Princess Duan just came to the mansion, it's not necessarily because of Princess Roujia's frightened horse."
Although it is true that what he said is true, Princess Duan may not come to Marquis Pingyuan’s Mansion once a year. It would be strange if she didn’t come for this matter!
Chen Tang couldn't get up, and Chen Xi couldn't pull her up, so she stomped her feet and left in anger.
Songhe Hall.
The old lady sat on the couch drinking tea while the second wife led Princess Duan into the room.
The old lady stood up to greet her and wanted to pay her respects to Princess Duan. Princess Duan hurriedly helped the old lady up and said, "This is really embarrassing for me."
The old lady asked, "Why did Princess Duan come to our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Princess Duan smiled and said, "You should have come two days ago. My daughter scared a horse on the street and got frightened. She has had a high fever for the past two days and has been ill for many years. I couldn't get away and only came today to thank you in person."
The Second Wife pretended not to know, "Princess Duan, where does this thank you come from?"
Princess Duan smiled and said, "It was Prince Ning who saved my daughter, but Prince Ning said that if the second young lady hadn't told him in time that my daughter had been frightened, he wouldn't have been able to get there in time. How can I not personally come to thank the second young lady for saving my daughter's life?"
Prince Ning actually told Prince Duan's Mansion...
Just as the old lady was about to ask the maid to invite Chen Tang, a maid came in and whispered something in Wang Mama's ear, and Wang Mama then quietly reported to the old lady.
The old lady frowned fiercely and told Mother Wang, "You go."
Just as Chen Xian and the others walked outside Songhe Hall, they saw Mother Wang coming out from afar. Seeing that Mother Wang was in a hurry and walking very fast, Chen Xian's already ugly face suddenly became even uglier.
Chen Xi tore the embroidered handkerchief in her hand into pieces, and was jealous to the point of madness.
Chen Tang really got a good deal for this achievement. If she can use Prince Ning's orders, Prince Duan's Mansion will owe her a favor!
