Chapter 120 Dialects
What kind of example is this that she gave? It would be better if she didn't give it at all.
Princess Roujia was so ashamed that she wanted to die.
Afraid that she would suffocate herself, Chen Tang pulled the quilt, but Princess Roujia pulled it tightly and Chen Tang couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried. Chen Tang felt relieved. With that kind of strength, it shouldn't be a big deal. She would recover after eating well and sleeping well for two days.
Chen Tang suppressed his laughter and said, "Come out quickly, I won't say anything more, I know my eldest brother is average, you don't think highly of him..."
Princess Roujia, "......!!!"
Sister Haitang, do you want to listen to what I am saying?
Those who know her will know that she is being modest on behalf of her elder brother, while those who don't know her will be so spitty when they hear her say this about Prince Ning that they will drown her.
Her face was burning, and the quilt was very hot. Princess Roujia couldn't stay any longer, so she showed her eyes and said, "Sister Chen Tang, don't tease me anymore!"
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
She likes Princess Roujia and hopes that she can become her sister-in-law, but she also hopes that both Princess Roujia and her elder brother can marry someone they like. She reveals her elder brother's background to Princess Roujia, saying that she is trustworthy and will not spread it. She does not want Princess Roujia to think that Xiao Huan is her cousin. Putting aside the bond of cousins, perhaps there is a chance for the two of them.
Chen Tang no longer mentioned Xiao Huan, and the warmth on Princess Roujia's face gradually faded. They talked about other things, and the two of them could talk about anything.
Princess Roujia's pale face turned a lot redder. After a while, there was a knock on the door. The maid Xiangqiao said outside, "Princess, it's time to take medicine."
"Come in."
The door creaked open and Xiangqiao came in with medicine, followed by Ginkgo.
Looking at the pitch-black medicine, Princess Roujia felt bitter before she even drank it. Xiangqiao exclaimed, "Miss Shen's conversation with the princess was more effective than the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. The princess's complexion has improved a lot."
Princess Roujia's illness was caused by fright. Once she gets rid of the fear and feels happy, her illness will definitely be half cured, if not completely cured.
Princess Roujia didn't like taking medicine, but she still pinched her nose and swallowed it, then used tea to rinse her mouth and stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth to suppress the bitterness.
Xiangqiao was glad that Chen Tang was there. The princess had been asked many times to take the medicine, and the princess refused to drink it even after coaxing her for a long time. Now that Miss Chen was there, the princess took the medicine much more easily.
Chen Tang stayed with Princess Roujia for more than half an hour. Princess Roujia looked a little tired. Chen Tang said, "I will go back today. I will come to see you someday. When you recover, you can also come to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to find me."
Princess Roujia's face was filled with reluctance. Prince Duan and Princess Duan had a good relationship, and there was only one concubine in the inner house, who was adopted when Princess Duan was pregnant. She only had Prince Duan's son and Princess Roujia's two children. Princess Roujia didn't even have a companion. It would be so nice if Sister Chen Tang was her sister-in-law. Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Chen Tang's thoughts, and her ears instantly turned red.
Princess Roujia asked Xiangqiao to escort Chen Tang out of the house. Chen Tang couldn't refuse, so he agreed to Princess Roujia's request.
I walked out of the courtyard where Princess Roujia lived and headed towards the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion. Just as I reached the garden, I suddenly heard a cry of "Ouch!", "Be careful, you've lost my child..."
Shen Tang's mind was tense, and he felt quite embarrassed.
Get rid of the child...
Did you hear some incredible gossip?
Chen Tang and Yin Xing were both a little embarrassed. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. Xiang Qiao looked normal. Chen Tang felt strange and looked over there where the voice came from. He saw the maid said in disgust, "Why are you so slow in dressing a child?"
The maid squatting on the ground said, "The child is too young to wear it."
Chen Tang, "..."
That’s not a child, it’s a pair of shoes.
How could someone refer to shoes as children, and say it so loudly, without worrying about causing misunderstanding?
Chen Tang shook her head and laughed, but after walking a dozen steps forward, she paused and suddenly turned around to see the maid walking away. Gingxing was walking behind her and was not prepared for Chen Tang to stop suddenly. She bumped into her and said, "Miss, did I hurt you?"
Xiang Qiao looked at Chen Tang, "What happened to Miss Shen Er?"
Something was churning in Chen Tang's heart, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She just thought of the letter that Chunlan asked someone to send to the Fourth Madam, and the food box contained not food but a shoe.
Shoes, kid.
Chunlan was most likely telling the Fourth Madam that there was a child in the lunch box!
The day Chunlan disappeared was the day she and her second brother were born, so the person in the lunch box must be her second brother!
The Fourth Madam is Chunlan's master. She can understand the letter that Chunlan cannot understand at a glance. So even if it costs four thousand taels or even more to redeem Chunlan, she must redeem Chunlan. She even allows the person who goes to redeem Chunlan to use the name of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion when necessary, because redeeming Chunlan is to find her second brother. If her father knows about it, he will not only not blame her, but will also be grateful to the Fourth Madam.
Thinking that Second Madam's daughter Qiaohui also disappeared on the same day, Chen Tang suspected that his second brother might still be alive. If he was really buried alive as soon as he was born as Chen Xian said, Chunlan would not have sent a letter to Fourth Madam. Chunlan was just a maid. Even if the master and servant had a deep affection, Chunlan should know that Fourth Madam would not spend four thousand taels or even more to redeem her at Wangzhou Baihua Tower.
Chen Tang was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, which made Xiang Qiao stunned. "Second Miss Chen..."
Chen Tang pointed at the two maids walking away and asked, "Where are those two maids from?"
Xiangqiao looked confused, not understanding why Chen Tang asked about the ancestral home of the two maids in Prince Duan's Mansion. However, Chen Tang had saved Princess Roujia's life, so this was not a difficult matter. Xiangqiao said, "I will ask for Miss Shen Er."
Xiangqiao started to walk away, but the maids didn't go far. She called out to them and they stopped.
Xiangqiao waved, and two maids came over to her. Xiangqiao asked, "Where are you from?"
The two maids didn't understand why they were asked about their ancestral origins. There was nothing they couldn't tell. The maids said, "We are all from Yunzhou."
Chen Tang asked, "Besides Yunzhou, where else would people refer to shoes as children?"
Xiangqiao, "..."
It turns out that Miss Shen was looking for a maid because she was interested in the maid's dialect.
The two maids said, "Besides our hometown Yunzhou, I also know of Chuanzhou and Qizhou. Apart from these, I don't know if there are any other places that speak this dialect."
These states are adjacent to each other, so it is normal for them to speak the same dialect.
Chen Tang said, "Thank you very much."
The two maids, "......???"
Miss Shen Er was the lifesaver of the Princess of Prince Duan's Mansion. She didn't deserve their thanks without asking a few questions.
Chen Tang had been walking slowly just now, but after asking, he walked out of Prince Duan's mansion at a much faster pace. Xiang Qiao felt that it must be related to the dialect.
After leaving Prince Duan's mansion, Chen Tang got on the carriage and urged the servant, "Go back to the Marquis' mansion quickly."
The servant thought Shen Tang was in a hurry, so he drove the carriage very fast. The carriage just stopped at the Marquis' Mansion, but before it even stopped completely, Shen Tang got out of the carriage without Ginkgo's help.
After entering the mansion, Chen Tang asked, "Where is Manager Li?"
The servant said, "I'll go call Manager Li."
Manager Li was checking the accounts. When he knew that Chen Tang was looking for him, he hurried over. Chen Tang called Manager Li aside and said, "Manager Li, help me find out where Chunlan, the maid from the fourth room who disappeared fifteen years ago, is from."
Manager Li found it strange that the Second Miss had no reason to look for a maid who had been missing for so many years. If he wanted to know, he could just ask the Fourth Madam directly. She would definitely know the answer.
Manager Li is a smart man. Chen Tang did not ask the Fourth Madam, but asked him to investigate. It is obvious that he did not want the Fourth Madam to know. Manager Li said, "This matter should not be difficult to investigate. I will report it to the Second Miss after I find out."
