Chapter 164 Son-in-law
After Xie Guimo left, the more Chen Tang thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
It was such a coincidence. She didn't believe there could be so many coincidences in the world. Thinking of how the Second Madam hastily promised Shen Ran to the eldest young master of her own family, the Wang family, in her previous life, Shen Tang felt a little uneasy. Although the eldest young master Wang had married the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion in this life, the Second Madam was not a good person. If Shen Ran was really the daughter of Princess Jinde and her husband, she would be like a talisman.
The second wife will definitely be firmly grasped in her hands.
She had to remind Chen Ran from the side, lest she be pushed into the fire pit by the second wife like in her previous life. It was not easy to go to the South Courtyard to find Chen Ran. Chen Tang called Si Er in and ordered, "Go find the third lady and ask her if she took my round fan by mistake."
After Si'er left and Chen Tang served tea, she did not bring the round fan into the palace. Chen Ran should have guessed that she had something to ask her. Besides, as long as Chen Ran did not leave the house, nothing would happen in the next one or two days.
Chen Tang felt that she was too impatient. Actually, she could just give a reminder when she saw him tomorrow. But Si'er came back not long after he left and said, "Miss, the third lady went to the Wang family with the second wife and hasn't come back yet. I'll ask her when she comes back."
Went to Wang’s house?
Chen Tang's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Xian is definitely going to marry the Second Prince, and she will be married very soon. The Second Wife did not stay in the mansion to prepare a dowry for Chen Xian, but she had the leisure to take Chen Ran to the Wang family...
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Especially since Chen Ran married the eldest son of the Wang family in her previous life, Chen Tang had to be on guard.
Chen Tang stood up and walked towards the window. She looked around and Chen Shan appeared. "What do you want, Princess?"
Chen Tang said, "Please help me go to the Wang family and see what the second wife is doing there..."
Chen Shan was familiar with helping Chen Tang to follow the second wife, so after agreeing, he jumped and disappeared at the window.
It would take a while for Chen Shan to come back from Wang's house. Chen Tang had nothing to do, so she read to kill time. When she got tired of reading, she did some needlework and waited patiently for Chen Shan to come back. However, she waited until the evening, but did not see Chen Shan come back. Instead, she received news that the second wife had returned.
Chen Tang put down the embroidery frame and raised her hand to rub her brows. Si'er came in and said, "Miss, the second wife is back, but the third lady didn't come back with her..."
Chen Tang frowned, "The third lady didn't come back with the second wife?"
Si Er shook his head, "The Second Madam came back alone, and she looked very unhappy..."
What you fear will come true. Did Shen Ran really get into trouble at the Wang family?
But even if something happened to Shen Ran and the second wife came back, there was no need for Chen Shan to stay in the Wang family. Don't let something happen to Chen Shan.
Chen Tang was already impatient to begin with, and now he was in agony, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was a knock on the window.
Chen Tang hurried over and saw that it was Chen Shan. Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The second wife has returned home. Why did you take so long to come back?"
Chen Shan wanted to say that he had hardly rested since the Crown Prince's Consort ordered him to do so. He said, "The Second Madam wants to plot against the Third Madam to marry the nephew of the First Madam Wang..."
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Chen Tang felt his anger rising to his head.
The Second Wife was determined to keep Shen Ran in her hands. Since her nephew from her mother's side was already married, she planned to marry Shen Ran to the nephew from the mother's side of Mrs. Wang. She wanted Shen Ran, this piece of protected meat, to rot in the pot of her Wang family.
Mrs. Wang’s nephew and Master Wang are of the same kind, both of them are the kind of people who spend their time with prostitutes.
Chen Tang felt sorry for Chen Ran, so sorry that he couldn't help it. Chen Shan said, "The subordinates went there in time and didn't let Mrs. Wang's nephew succeed..."
Chen Tang was stunned, "Failed? Then why didn't my third sister return home with the second wife?"
Chen Shan said, "The third lady was taken back to Princess Jinde's residence by the eldest son-in-law."
Shen Tang was confused.
This is a long story, so Chen Shan might as well start from when Chen Tang asked him to go to Wang's house.
After he rushed to Wang's house, he quickly found the second wife and learned that the second wife had plotted to marry her daughter to the nephew of Mrs. Wang's mother's family and had drugged the two. At that time, Chen Shan felt that he was late, but before leaving, he still took a look. The nephew of Mrs. Wang's mother's family was about to commit violence, but he had not succeeded in the end. Chen Shan rushed in, knocked him unconscious with a palm, and climbed over the wall to take Shen Ran, who was drugged and almost unconscious, out of Wang's house.
Chen Shan wanted to send Shen Ran to see a doctor to see if she could be saved, but by coincidence, just as he took Shen Ran to the pharmacy, he happened to see the Prince Consort passing by on horseback.
Chen Shan took Chen Ran to find the eldest son-in-law and introduced himself, "I am the secret guard of the Prince of Jingyang, and I have been ordered to protect the second lady of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. The third lady of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion may be the daughter of the eldest son-in-law and Princess Jinde. She is now drugged with an aphrodisiac..."
The eldest son-in-law's brows were twisted into knots at that time.
Princess Jinde had only given birth to one child, and it was a stillbirth. Although Princess Jinde believed that her daughter was still alive, the Prince Consort had never thought so. When the midwife held the child in his hands to see him, his daughter was wrinkled and covered in bruises. How could she still be alive?
Although the jade pendant buried with his daughter appeared, the prince consort just wanted to follow Princess Jinde's wishes, find his daughter's body and rebury her.
On his way back home to have dinner with the eldest princess, someone suddenly stopped him and told him that his daughter might still be alive?
If Chen Shan hadn't said first that he was the Prince of Jingyang's man, the Prince Consort would have really been angry.
The eldest son-in-law glanced at Shen Ran, who was already unconscious. With just one glance, a strange feeling flashed through the eldest son-in-law's heart.
The eyebrows and eyes do look like him...
At that time, Shen Ran's condition was so serious that she was pulling at her clothes in the street. Chen Shan had no choice but to carry her into the pharmacy and ask the doctor to save him first.
Chen Shan knew that aphrodisiacs were no different from other poisons, and that doctors might not be able to cure them. What if he had to find a man for Miss Shen San in the end?
He told the eldest son-in-law first, but whether the eldest son-in-law believed it or not was not his business.
Chen Shan entered the pharmacy. The prince consort hesitated for a moment, but still got off the horse. The doctor couldn't save Shen Ran, so he could only soak her in a bathtub to relieve her. As for the antidote, it still depended on the harmony of yin and yang.
The eldest son-in-law asked, "Why do you say she is my daughter?"
Chen Shan said, "I don't know either. Miss Shen Er suspected this, so I brought her out of the Wang family. Prince Consort, just treat her as your daughter and choose a husband for her."
The eldest son-in-law looked at Shen Ran's eyebrows and eyes that looked very similar to his, and his heart moved slightly, and then he picked a husband for Shen Ran on the street.
Even though time was urgent, the eldest son-in-law really chose a son-in-law for himself. From among more than a dozen children of noble families, he selected the son of General Huaihua who had just returned home from the military camp.
Chen Shan said, "The eldest young master of the General's Mansion in Huaihua gave the third young lady an antidote. The eldest son-in-law sent someone back to the mansion to ask if the daughter born to Princess Jinde had any birthmarks. I can only wait with her..."
If not, he still has to bring Miss Shen San back.
The eldest consort's people came back and said that the daughter born to Princess Jinde had a birthmark on her thigh. The eldest consort asked the eldest young master of the General's Mansion in Huaihua and confirmed that it was true. He cried with joy and took Shen Ran back.
The eldest young master of the General's Mansion in Huaihua was so confused that his face was red enough to drip blood. It would be fine if the prince consort asked him to do something else, but how could he ask him to help with something like this...
