Chapter 121 Patience
Chen Tang also knew that if she asked the Fourth Madam directly, she would get the answer quickly, but she was afraid of exposing the fact that she had understood the letter. The Fourth Madam had been back home for so many days, but she was not sick like in her previous life. The only diarrhea she had was caused by her making a fuss about taking the Fourth Madam to see a doctor. In her previous life, the Fourth Madam was definitely killed by the Second House.
For the sake of the letter, the Fourth Madam was willing to spend several thousand taels to redeem Chunlan. She had deep feelings for her father and the eldest house, but she did not dare to offend the second house before she was sure. She told her father about this. Chen Tang did not want to embarrass the Fourth Madam, and was even more afraid of bringing trouble to the fourth house. She knew in her heart that if Xie Guimo had not sent people to protect her, she would probably die faster in this life than in her previous life.
It would be the same if Steward Li helped her investigate. In the previous life, the Marquis' Mansion had made a big fuss to look for Chunlan, so there must be a criminal record. Chen Tang was eager to know her own guess, and only hoped that Steward Li could help her find out as soon as possible.
He came back in a panic all the way, but now that he was finally back home, he was not so anxious anymore. He went to Songhe Hall to see the old lady before returning to Qingyi Garden.
Back at Qingyi Garden, Chen Tang drank a cup of tea, and the maid brought the food into the room. Chen Tang ate absentmindedly, and only ate half a bowl when Si'er came in and said, "Second Miss, Manager Li is here."
It must have been found!
Chen Tang quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and went out.
Manager Li rarely came to the inner courtyard, and even less often to Qingyi Garden. The last time he came, he brought the imperial physician to treat Chen Tang. Chen Tang couldn't wait to ask, "Have you found out, Manager Li?"
Manager Li nodded and said, "I asked the manager of the fourth house, Chunlan's ancestral home is in Qizhou."
Qizhou!
It is a place where shoes are referred to as children.
Chen Tang's eyes were moist and hot, "Thank you, Manager Li."
Manager Li didn't know why Chen Tang was asking about Chunlan's ancestral home, but as a servant, he shouldn't ask too many questions, so he held back and asked, "Does the second lady have any other instructions?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "Nothing else."
Manager Li returned to the outer courtyard. In fact, for such a small matter, it would be enough to send a reliable person to pass the message, but Chen Tang didn't even ask the Fourth Madam, but asked him to investigate. Manager Li decided to come himself.
After Manager Li left, Chen Tang returned to the room. Now that the matter was confirmed, Chen Tang became more serious while eating. However, after finishing a bowl of rice, when Ginkgo asked if he wanted more, Chen Tang stood up and walked towards the window.
Pushing the window open, Chen Tang leaned forward to look around for a few times, and Chen Shan appeared and asked, "What do you want, Princess?"
Chen Tang said, "I would like your master to do me a favor."
Chen Tang thought Chen Shan would ask what he wanted his master to do for him, but Chen Shan didn't ask. "I will go back and report to you right away."
Before he finished his words, he leaped a few feet away from the window and disappeared from sight in a few breaths.
Normally, I would find an excuse to come to Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion when I have nothing to do. With such a good opportunity, of course I have to come and ask in person.
Chen Tang felt that such a small matter did not require Xie Guimo to make a personal trip, and that he could just help pass on the message. However, Chen Shan was willing to make the trip and to trouble his master, so what else could Chen Tang say.
She turned around and sat back, continuing to eat. She ate another half bowl of food before putting down her bowl and chopsticks. The maid brought in the food.
After Chen Tang had eaten his fill, he walked around the yard twice, then returned to the house, reading a book while waiting for Xie Guimo.
She really has a bad temper. When she is not in a hurry, she is slow and slow. But when she is anxious, she acts as if the situation is urgent. She has no patience at all and has to deal with the matter well before she can calm down and do other things.
After all, Xie Guimo is the prince of Jingyang. How could he be so idle as to stay in the mansion every day? He can come whenever there is something. In the previous life, we lived under the same roof, and it was impossible to find him all the time, let alone now.
Chen Tang reflected on himself and settled down to read. Sure enough, half an hour later, there was a knock on the window.
When Chen Tang heard the sound, he looked and saw Xie Guimo pushing open the window and jumping in. Chen Tang quickly put down the book in his hand and got off the small couch.
Xie Guimo asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
Shen Tang shook his head slightly.
Xie Guimo asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Chen Tang said, “Send a reliable person to Wangzhou Baihua Tower to help me redeem a maid named Chunlan.”
Although the Fourth Madam had already sent someone to do this, for some reason, she had felt uneasy since she knew about this. It would be better for her to send someone to pick up Chunlan herself, but she had no one to use. She could ask her father, but she would inevitably be questioned. Chen Tang was even more afraid that her father would be disappointed if she couldn't find her second brother. After thinking about it, she decided that it would be more convenient to ask Xie Guimo.
Asking Xie Guimo for help, Xie Guimo really wouldn't ask so many questions, but Chen Tang forgot that a certain master would make requests. He put his arm around Chen Tang's waist and whispered in her ear, "I can help you redeem the person, but you have to give me a definite answer. When can I come to your house to propose marriage?"
Chen Tang said, "Haven't you decided yet? After Chen Xi gets engaged..."
Xie Guimo said unhappily, "It's been a few days, and she still hasn't gotten engaged. If she stays unmarried for the rest of her life, will I never come to her house to propose marriage?"
Chen Tang, "..."
It has only been a few days since I came back from the Jokhang Temple. Engagement is not a joke and it cannot be done just like that.
Chen Tang struggled, but Xie Guimo refused to let go, so Chen Tang angrily said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to help me."
Xie Guimo frowned, "If you don't ask me, who do you want to ask for help?"
Chen Tang raised his head and said, "My eldest brother."
Xie Guimo, "..."
She almost forgot that Xiao Huan is her elder brother. It is indeed possible to ask Xiao Huan for this matter.
But Xie Guimo was not angry, instead he was in a good mood. She went to him instead of her own elder brother, which meant she trusted him more. Chen Tang did think of looking for Xie Guimo first. After all, Xie Guimo had helped her with all the big and small things in the past two months, and she had already developed a habit.
Although he could find Xiao Huan, he would definitely not refuse, but Xiao Huan had not yet recognized his ancestral roots after all. Besides, finding Xiao Huan was not as convenient as finding Xie Guimo.
Seeing the smile in Xie Guimo's eyes, Chen Tang asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Guimo pinched Chen Tang's nose and said, "It's different when you have big brother protecting you."
"That's natural..."
In her previous life, Xiao Huan didn't know that he was her elder brother. He helped her many times and even helped her find Xie Guimo to get a divorce letter. However, Xie Guimo misunderstood that they had an affair. In this life, knowing that he was her biological elder brother, he naturally protected her as his biological sister.
Xie Guimo shook his head and laughed, "It's just a small matter, don't bother your brother, I'll send someone to do it for you."
Chen Tang nodded, and she gently pushed Xie Guimo away, "Let me go, I'll pour you some tea."
Xie Guimo shook his head, "I'm not thirsty."
I haven't been here for several days, and I just want to hold her quietly like this.
But even a hug seemed like a luxury. Then, there was a knock on the window, and the secret guard said outside the window, "Sir, the emperor is looking for you."
Xie Guimo was so depressed.
Did the emperor do it on purpose? If he didn't come to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, why didn't the emperor look for him? But as soon as the emperor arrived, he looked for him.
"I see."
He said he knew, but he didn't leave. Chen Tang said, "The Emperor is looking for you. Don't make him wait anxiously..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
When she was limp from the kiss, Xie Guimo let her go, "Then I'm leaving. If you need anything, let Chen Shan find me."
Chen Tang glared at him with a red face, and Xie Guimo walked away with a smile.
Chen Tang was thankful that the maid was not in the room, otherwise she would be extremely embarrassed if she saw it. After sitting down, Chen Tang felt that it was because the maid was not there that the bastard kissed her unscrupulously.
Next time you come, don’t let the maid go out.
With Xie Guimo sending someone to help her redeem Chunlan, Chen Tang felt relieved. There was still half of the book left to be read, so Chen Tang picked it up and continued reading.
However, after reading only two pages, a familiar voice suddenly came, "What have you been doing these days?"
It was Xie Guimo's voice.
The news suddenly spread, giving Shen Tang a fright.
She glanced over and saw someone who was supposed to go to the palace to see the emperor appear by the window. He had some red rashes on his face and was scratching his neck.
Shen Tang was stunned.
Symptoms of past lives.
It appeared again.
