Chapter 141 Heredity
As expected, his guess was correct. He came to see her for Butler Quan.
The second wife is the housekeeper, so the third wife will not be jealous, because the second wife is the legitimate child, and the second master and Shen Sui are from the same mother, which is not comparable to the third and fourth masters. The third wife has also made up her mind that the second wife will inherit the title of the marquis in the future, and she usually flatters the second wife. After all, it doesn't cost anything to say a few nice words.
But now it's different. Shen Sui has taken away the second wife's housekeeper power and handed it over to the fourth wife. Not only does the old lady not object, she also allows the fourth wife to remove all the housekeepers appointed by the second wife. With this posture, people who don't know would think that the marquis is going to pass the title of the marquis's mansion to the fourth wife.
However, the Third Wife knew that even if the sun rose from the west, this would not be possible, unless the Second Branch also had no descendants. The Second Master had not only a legitimate son, but also a illegitimate son. Moreover, the Marquis was also in his prime, and it was possible that a concubine in the backyard might get pregnant one day. This good thing would not fall on the Fourth Branch.
The Third Wife didn't dare to think about the title, but she could still think about the housekeeper's power. Now that Chen Tang's words were effective, it was Chen Tang who asked Chen Sui to remove the Second Wife's housekeeper's power. The Third Wife wanted to start with Chen Tang and get a piece of the pie.
There was a hint of impatience in Chen Tang's eyes. The Fourth Madam had not returned to the capital for a long time. She wanted the Third Madam to stand up, but the Third Madam did not make any move. The Embroidery Room was forced upon the Third Madam by her. Now that she had the Fourth Madam to help manage the Marquis' Mansion, the Third Madam came to compete again. Isn't this clearly picking on the weak?
What she wanted was for the Third Wife to target the Second Wife, not for her to compete with the Fourth Wife.
Chen Tang said, "Third Aunt wants to help Fourth Aunt share the burden, but she has to talk to Grandmother and Father, and I can't make the decision."
The Third Madam smiled and said, "Second Miss, you are too modest. The Marquis has always loved you the most, and now the old lady also puts you first in everything. It's just a small matter, and it's not just a matter of a word from you."
Don't flatter her, she's not the kind of person who will be swayed by a few nice words, but she won't reject the Third Madam directly. Chen Tang said, "Grandma doesn't really like me interfering in the housekeeping business, but Third Aunt has come to me, it would be wrong for me not to help, I'll find a chance to mention it to Grandma tomorrow..."
The Third Madam was immediately happy. Chen Tang took off the hairpin on her head and put it on Chen Luo. "This hairpin is more suitable for Fourth Sister."
The third wife smiled and said, "Then I'll pick two more suitable ones for you later."
These are just empty words. Once the job is done, who will remember her?
The Third Madam was busy with other things, so she didn't stay in Qingyi Garden for long. Chen Luo left with her.
After they left, Gingko asked, "Miss, do you really want to help the Third Madam share the Fourth Madam's housekeeping power?"
How is it possible to help the third wife fight for the right to be the housekeeper?
The old lady will not be happy about the third wife fighting for the housekeeper's power. The more she fights, the less she will get. She just doesn't want to deal with the third wife and is using the old lady to make her give up.
Chen Tang's eyes fell on the bayberry on the small table, and Yin Xing said, "Young lady, eat more. You will definitely not be able to eat it after you marry into the Jingyang Palace."
Who would have thought that the Prince of Jingyang couldn't eat bayberry and couldn't even touch it.
Chen Tang picked up one and said, "You and Qiu Tong can share the rest."
Then Xie Guimo climbed over the wall and left the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, riding back to the Jingyang Prince Mansion. On the way, he met the Second Prince, who stopped Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo asked, "Second Prince wants to see me for something?"
The second prince smiled and said, "It's you."
Xie Guimo asked, "Who does the Second Prince think he is stopping?"
The second prince said, "I thought it was the one who beat up the Prince of Changping."
Xie Guimo stroked the horse's smooth mane and laughed, "Hasn't the man who beat up the Prince of Changping been caught and hanged alive on the city wall? Could it be that they caught a fake one?"
The second prince's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Why are you wearing a mask for no reason?"
Xie Guimo rode a few steps closer, and without him even answering, the Second Prince saw the red rash on his neck.
It's on the neck, and naturally it's on the face as well.
The purpose of wearing a mask is self-evident.
Over there, Prince Duan Xiao Xun and Chu Yi rode over and saw that Xie Guimo had red rashes on the back of his hands as he grasped the reins. Chu Yi said, "It's really romantic to die under the peony flowers."
He knew that kissing a girl would cause a rash, but he still dared to kiss her. He is really not afraid of death.
Xie Guimo scratched the back of his hand which was still itching, "I have something else to do, sorry I can't keep you company."
As he said this, he kicked the horse's belly and drove away.
Watching Xie Guimo leave, Chu Yi tapped Xiao Xun with his folding fan and asked in a low voice, "What does it feel like to kiss a girl?"
Xiao Xun, "..."
Xiao Xun brushed away Chu Yi's folding fan and said, "How would I know? I haven't kissed you before."
But seeing that Xie Guimo couldn't help but get a rash, he became curious.
The two of them looked at the direction where Xie Guimo left.
Can he still marry Miss Shen Er in this state?
But since they are married, he has to marry her even if he doesn't want to, otherwise they will all despise him.
Xie Guimo rode back to Prince Jingyang's Palace, turned over and jumped off the horse. Although he was wearing a mask, the gatekeeper did not dare to stop him. Even if he was not the prince of Prince Jingyang's Palace, he was riding the prince's horse, and the prince's guard Chen Qi was following him. Who would dare not let him go?
Manager Zhou came over, and Xie Guimo asked, "Is father in the mansion?"
Manager Zhou said, "The prince is in the study."
Xie Guimo walked towards the study, and Chen Qi followed behind him carrying the lunch box.
Arriving at the study, Xie Guimo took off his mask, took the food box from Chen Qi, and stepped in.
The prince glanced over and saw red rashes on Xie Guimo's face. He frowned and said, "The rash has appeared again."
Xie Guimo said, "Send some food to father."
The prince suspected that the sun rose from the west today.
He would be satisfied if his son was less irritable, and he even remembered to bring him food.
He wanted to see what food was sent.
Xie Guimo put the lunch box on the desk and opened it. He saw a plate of bayberries in the lunch box. The amount was a little touching.
One.
Prince, "..."
The prince's brows knitted into a knot, "Just one bayberry?"
Xie Guimo said, "I didn't intend to give you a whole one."
Prince, "..."
real.
The urge to beat his son surged up into his head.
Xie Guimo plucked a few bayberry strands with tweezers and handed them over, "Father, have a try."
The prince's head was already smoking. "Has father not beaten you in a long time?"
Xie Guimo said disdainfully, "Father may not even be able to eat these few."
The prince frowned, "Speak human language."
Xie Guimo said, "Father, please try it yourself."
The prince looked at the bayberry shreds on the tweezers, but couldn't even pick them up. Xie Guimo simply put them into the teacup, and the prince drank it along with the tea.
Xie Guimo sat down. The prince didn't know what he was doing and continued reading.
But after a while, the prince felt itchy on his back, then his neck, and then he found a rash on the back of his hands.
The prince looked at Xie Guimo, "Why did father also get a rash?"
Xie Guimo's eyes were filled with disdain. "I know that my inability to eat bayberries was inherited from you, my father. Can you pass on something good to me?"
