Chapter 190: Blessings and Disasters
Chen Tang got on the carriage, Qiu Tong lifted the curtain, and Chen Tang counted them. There were at least thirty or forty people who came to the Marquis' Mansion to recognize their relatives, but none of them made Chen Tang's eyes light up.
Those who came to recognize their relatives were not ugly, but they were not good-looking. Shen Sui and Jiang were both first-class looks. Since they could give birth to such good-looking children like Xiao Huan and Shen Tang, the second brother must have been good-looking.
Even though he has been wandering around for these years, eating and dressing in poverty, and looking pale and thin, his skeleton is still there, so he is not that bad.
The eldest brother had been missing for more than ten years, and it was not easy to find him, let alone the second brother. Shen Tang did not expect to find him soon. She believed that as long as the second brother was alive, their family would be reunited one day.
The carriage gurgled forward until it stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate.
At the attentive greeting of the Jiang family's servant, Chen Tang stepped into the Jiang family and walked towards the Cuibai Courtyard where Old Madam Jiang lived.
Not long after she entered the inner courtyard, she saw the two sisters Jiang Ning and Jiang Li running towards her from afar. Jiang Ning was wearing a light green dress embroidered with orchids, which was as quiet and elegant as her personality. Jiang Li was wearing a lavender dress with butterflies embroidered on the hem, which fluttered with the hem, as if surrounded by butterflies, playful and lively.
Seeing Chen Tang, Jiang Li waved from a distance and called out, "Cousin..."
When she got closer, Jiang Li leaned close to Chen Tang's ear and said, "I knew that my cousin would come to the mansion in the next two days. My father and uncle returned home yesterday and were scolded badly by my grandmother..."
Chen Tang asked, "Why did grandma scold my uncle and the others?"
Jiang Li said, “You want your uncle to deal with Master Shen Er. My father and the others are holding you back. Grandmother scolded you for this.”
In fact, Master Jiang Da and Master Jiang Er did not help to intercede. They just let Shen Tang calm down for a while when she was emotional. But even so, Old Madam Jiang was also very angry. Master Shen Er threw away his flesh and blood for the sake of the title and killed his own nephew. He was simply not worthy of being a human being. God knows how angry and scared Old Madam Jiang was when she knew that the Second Master and the Second Madam buried Shen Tang's second brother alive.
Before her death, Jiang wanted to hand Shen Tang over to the Jiang family to raise, but because of poor care for Shen Yan, he was lost. In addition, the old lady did not allow it, and Shen Sui was unwilling to separate father and daughter. The Jiang family went to pick up Shen Tang several times, but was ridiculed and returned empty-handed.
Madam Jiang was thankful that Chen Tang was a daughter and had no right to inherit the title, otherwise, with the cruelty of the second house, she would have died long ago.
Chen Tang asked his uncle for support, but Master Jiang Da and Master Jiang Er did not say a word to help him. Instead, they stopped Chen Tang. It would be strange if Madam Jiang did not scold them.
Chen Tang knew that her two uncles had good things in their hearts for her. After all, the second master was not a concubine's son, but the old lady's biological son. Chunlan could only prove that the second wife wanted to bury her second brother alive, but she had not found evidence to prove that the disappearance of her eldest brother was also the work of the second wife. After all, her eldest brother was lost while under the care of the Jiang family. Even though her eldest brother has been found now, her two uncles still lack confidence.
Her mother was unhappy and died with hatred in her heart. Her two uncles always believed that they were half responsible. When she was not at a disadvantage yesterday, she didn't need her two uncles to speak for her. But she knew that if her father and grandmother didn't want to deal with the second wife, her two uncles would never agree.
Chen Tang, Jiang Ning and Jiang Li went to Cuibaiyuan, talking and laughing.
Madam Jiang was sitting on the Luohan couch. When she saw Chen Tang, her eyes turned red. She asked Chen Tang to sit next to her and said, "The Jiang family and your father are useless. Your mother has suffered so much injustice, and she still needs you, a daughter, to help her seek justice..."
Chen Tang did not feel proud at all about these exaggerations, but only ashamed.
In fact, she is the most useless person. In her previous life, she was played around by Chen Xian and the second house and suffered a complete defeat. Now she is just taking advantage of her rebirth, and Xie Guimo is helping her behind the scenes.
Chen Tang said, “Grandma, please stop scolding the two uncles.”
Madam Jiang said, "How can I not scold them? I asked them for help, but they ended up making things worse."
Old Madam Jiang got angry whenever she thought about it. It was estimated that Master Jiang and Master Jiang II would not dare to show up in front of her these days.
Jiang Li said with regret, "It's a pity that the truth was revealed half a month late, and Chen Xi still took advantage of it. Otherwise, with her status, she would definitely not be able to become the second prince's consort."
Chen Tang said, "Noble Concubine Ye and the Second Prince are not willing to give her the position of principal wife. It is not certain whether this is a bargain or a pitfall."
There was surprise in Madam Jiang's eyes. She had felt the same way before. Old Master Jiang said that she thought things were too simple. From Shen Xi's perspective, she had gained an advantage, but the Second Prince had suffered a great loss. It was a disaster, not a blessing, for an incompetent person to sit in that position.
It's really extraordinary that Tang'er can see through all the twists and turns at such a young age.
Chen Tang said, "I was afraid of upsetting my grandparents, and I thought Chen Xian wouldn't come to the Jiang family, so I didn't tell the Jiang family that she wasn't my mother's daughter, which caused my grandmother to give her her favorite bracelet..."
Madam Jiang laughed, "I'm afraid even if you tell her, grandma may not believe it."
If I had believed it back then, my daughter might not have died.
Madam Jiang couldn't understand it. It was her daughter who was in charge of the household affairs back then, and Chen Sui was also in the mansion. How could the second house be so powerful as to secretly replace the son that her daughter had just given birth to?
It was precisely because they thought this was impossible, coupled with the blow that Chen Yan's disappearance had dealt to Jiang, that they all believed that Jiang had gone insane. Thinking of these things, Old Madam Jiang felt heartbroken. She didn't know how her daughter had survived those days. No wonder she held Tang'er tightly, fearing that she had also been harmed.
Madam Jiang's nose was sore and tears kept falling. She was afraid that she would hurt herself, so Chen Tang changed the subject, but it didn't work very well. Jiang Li asked Chen Tang, "What's going on between my cousin and Prince Jingyang? Why did he go to burn paper at my aunt's grave before?"
Chen Tang, "..."
You can change the subject, but can you please not focus on her?
Shen Tang’s face flushed.
When asked, Chen Tang couldn't help blushing. She really couldn't imagine how embarrassed a certain gentleman would be if he was caught in the act, and he even found an excuse that made people want to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Going to the wrong grave.
I think it would be more convincing to say that you went out with the wrong brain.
Everyone in the room was looking at her, and Chen Tang said awkwardly, "This, isn't this my mother telling me in a dream not to marry him..."
Jiang Li said, "But when I said that, my cousin thought he was going to dig up my aunt's grave."
Chen Tang, "..."
Can you just listen to whatever she says? Don't ask too many questions. She really isn't that thick-skinned.
Chen Tang blushed and said, "I used my mother's dream as an excuse to reject him, and he got angry and said he would dig up my mother's grave to ask why my mother didn't agree, and I... took it seriously..."
Everyone in the room opened their eyes wide and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing.
Because his aunt had not approved of the marriage in a dream, Prince Jingyang had no choice but to burn paper to please his mother-in-law.
The Prince of Jingyang is so interesting.
Old Madam Jiang couldn't help laughing. Who would have thought that Prince Jingyang would burn so much paper money for her daughter just for this? Such thoughtfulness was truly rare.
