Chapter 187 Instigation
The old lady was exhausted both physically and mentally, so Mother Wang helped her back to the inner room.
The servant carried Chunlan out. Chunlan had been trapped in the brothel for so many years and could no longer serve the Fourth Madam. Chen Tang said to the Fourth Madam, "For the sake of Second Brother, Chunlan has suffered for so many years. I will ask Manager Li to buy a small courtyard behind the Marquis' Mansion to accommodate Chunlan. She will be raised by the Marquis' Mansion in the future."
The Fourth Wife thought the same, but she used to pay for it, but now the money has to be paid by the Marquis' Mansion.
Chunlan's eyes sparkled with tears, "Thank you very much, Second Miss."
Chen Tang said, "It is me and the Marquis's Mansion that should thank you."
In order to inform the Fourth Madam of her second brother's whereabouts, she had been suffering in a place like Baihua Tower for more than ten years, and had asked people to deliver news to the Marquis' Mansion countless times. Thinking of the messenger, Chen Tang said, "I remember that man said that he would help you deliver the letter, and you would marry him in the future if you redeemed yourself. If you really want to do this, when the Marquis' Mansion sends someone to Wangzhou Baihua Tower to pick him up, you can also bring him to Beijing."
Having suffered for half of her life, Chen Tang hopes Chunlan can live a happier life in the second half of her life.
Chunlan looked at the fourth wife, "Can I?"
The fourth wife didn't expect Chen Tang to be so thoughtful. She nodded and said, "Of course, I can deliver a letter for you thousands of miles, even if it's just by the way. This kind of friendship is rare."
Chunlan's broken leg had not yet healed, and she had traveled all the way to Beijing, exhausted by the journey, so the Fourth Madam took her down to settle down.
Chen Sui went to the front yard and asked Manager Li to take people to inquire around Kyoto to see if there was a family with the surname Lin willing to adopt a child. After making the arrangements, Chen Sui called the fourth master over. In addition to the two connected shops that the old lady had given him, Chen Sui also gave the fourth room a shop, a four-story courtyard, and three hundred acres of fertile land.
The fourth master asked in panic, "What is this brother doing?"
Chen Sui said, "You and your sister-in-law treat me as your elder brother, so naturally I cannot treat you unfairly as your elder brother."
The fourth master said, "Big brother also said that we are brothers, so it's too formal to be like this..."
Shen Sui stuffed the things into the fourth master's hands, "The old lady gave it to your fourth room, so take it with confidence."
The fourth master said, "Chunlan was able to return to the capital alive, thanks to Tang'er and Prince Jingyang."
Chen Sui said, "I know what's going on. If it weren't for my sister-in-law's kindness, Chunlan wouldn't have insisted on passing on messages to her for so many years. Please help me thank my sister-in-law."
The fourth master couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.
A lot of things were given away, but after the Fourth Master returned to the North Courtyard, he did not keep anything and gave them all to the Fourth Mistress.
The Fourth Wife felt that she had not helped in any way and that she felt bad for accepting so many things. However, since she had accepted them, she would definitely not return them. When Tang'er got married, she would give half of them as her dowry.
Knowing that it was given by the old lady, the fourth wife felt relieved and asked, "Do the third and fourth rooms want to divide the family property together?"
The fourth master said, "I didn't dare to ask my eldest brother..."
When a tree grows big, it will branch out; when a son grows up, the family will split up. It is only a matter of time before the family splits up. But because the old lady is still alive, even if the child is born out of wedlock, there is no need to split it up.
The old lady meant to divide the family, but at Tang'er's insistence, she changed it to removing the family name from the family tree. The difference between the two is huge, and the fourth master can't tell whether she will take the opportunity to separate the third and fourth rooms from the house together.
Although separation was inevitable, the Fourth Master and his wife were reluctant to move out after all they were used to living in the Marquis' Mansion.
However, since such a thing happened in the mansion, it is not a bad thing to separate the fourth room. As for the reluctance, it is only a few years in advance. After moving out, it will be nothing after getting used to it.
The fourth master said, "It depends on what the old lady and eldest brother think."
Speaking of Chen Tang, when he returned to Qingyi Garden, he saw Mother Zhou standing on the corridor with red eyes. Ginkgo said, "Mother Zhou should be happy, why are you crying?"
Mother Zhou wiped her tears and said, "I'm crying because I'm happy."
Unexpectedly, the truth about the injustice suffered by the lady in the past would be revealed one day, and the young master, who had been worrying about the lady until her death, might still be alive. Mother Zhou wanted to go to Jiang's grave immediately to burn paper and tell Jiang the good news.
Mother Zhou said, "Madam, in your nine springs, will protect the eldest and second young masters."
Thinking of the cruelty of the Second Master and Second Mistress, Mother Zhou wished she could skin them alive. She cursed the Second Mistress countless times in her heart.
Back in the South Courtyard, the atmosphere was more depressing than ever before.
The eldest branch of the family had no children, and the maids and servants of the second branch all believed that the Marquis' Mansion would be inherited by the second master in the future. However, before they could inherit the title, they were removed from the family tree and driven out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Chen Xi returned to Prince Qi's mansion. After the second master and the second wife returned to the room, the second master slapped the second wife so hard that she fell onto the table.
The teacups and snacks on the table were scattered all over the floor.
The second master wanted to kill the second wife, "You encouraged me to do these things back then, did you ever think this day would come?!"
The second wife's mouth was filled with the smell of blood. She laughed sarcastically, "If the master and the marquis really have a deep brotherly love and if they really have no doubt about the title, how can I instigate them?!"
"you!"
The second master was so angry that his eyes went dark.
The Second Wife was so angry that she retorted. In order to replace the former with the latter, she even sent the Fourth Wife out of the house. Who could have thought that the Fourth Wife would still run into Qiaohui sending the child out of the house. All her plans were ruined by the maid named Chunlan!
No!
Not Chunlan!
It’s Chen Tang!
She didn't expect that Jiang was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. In order to give Shen Sui a surprise, Jiang hid the fact that she was pregnant with two children. She suspected it several times, but Jiang dismissed it by saying that the children were edible. She was not well prepared, so she could only keep Chen Tang, the disaster star, and let her stay in the Marquis' Mansion to oppose their second branch everywhere!
It's too late to regret now.
Chen Tang forced the old lady to evict the second branch from the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis asked them to move out within three days. Thinking of the King of Qi leaving today, the second wife became worried about Chen Xian.
Originally, Concubine Ye and Prince Qi did not want to give Chen Xian the position of principal wife. They would definitely take the opportunity to demote Chen Xian to a concubine.
Thinking of this, the Second Wife wanted to skin Chen Tang alive.
Not only did no one issue a gag order regarding the second house's persecution of the eldest house's heir, but Chen Tang also had the news spread outside the mansion. Now, teahouses and taverns were discussing the matter.
Many people in Kyoto knew that the eldest son of the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion was lost at the lantern festival at the age of four. Many people in Kyoto also heard that Jiang said she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and wanted to strangle Shen Xi to death. Many people felt sorry for Shen Xi who was not loved by her mother at that time, and now they felt sorry for Jiang.
Her newborn son was replaced by someone, and no one believed what she said. The second branch of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was really crazy in order to seize the title and fight for the family property. Now they are expelled from the family, which is a retribution for their evil deeds.
When this matter reached the ears of Concubine Ye, she was almost angry to death.
If this bad thing had been exposed a few days earlier, her son wouldn't have had to get caught in the rain!
Originally, she was not satisfied with Shen Xian and was unwilling to give her the position of principal wife. Now it was just right to vacate the position for her. Concubine Ye said, "Let the Censorate impeach the Second Master Shen and demote the Princess of Qi to a concubine!"
