Chapter 217 Nausea
Chen Tang felt disgusted if she said one more word to Shen Xi. She turned around to leave, but after taking two steps, Chen Tang turned back, changed direction, walked to Shen Xi and said, "It's fine if you disgust grandmother and me, but if you dare to disgust father and eldest brother again, I will send someone to shave Second Aunt's head. Do you think Second Uncle will take the opportunity to send her to Jingci Temple?"
Chen Xi's face stiffened, "You dare?!"
Chen Tang laughed, "If you think I don't dare, you can always give it a try."
In his previous life, the Second Master had a concubine and an illegitimate child, and he kept it a secret. This was exposed in this life when he was expelled from the Marquis' Mansion. It can be seen that the Second Master blamed the Second Wife for getting kicked out of the house, and he had never concealed it from her. Now, because the Second Wife could not tolerate his concubine and illegitimate child, the Second Master was demoted again. I guess the Second Master must be wishing he could skin the Second Wife alive.
Out of consideration for Chen Xi's face, the Second Master did not dare to do anything to the Second Wife. However, since the Second Wife had already shaved her head and the mistress was whispering in his ear, would the Second Master not take the opportunity to send the Second Wife to Jingci Temple?
Chen Xian was unhappy about coming to the Marquis' Mansion, and Chen Tang would definitely not let her be happy. More importantly, Chen Tang was afraid that Chen Xian's visit to the Marquis' Mansion today was not just to disgust them. After all, without the tacit consent of Concubine Ye and Prince Qi, Chen Xian could not even leave the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion.
Chen Tang looked down upon Chen Xian's methods, but Concubine Ye could not be underestimated, so Chen Tang did not dare to take it lightly.
Only by threatening Shen Xi with the Second Wife will she be cautious.
Chen Tang would never allow anyone to ruin his eldest brother's return party.
Chen Xi's lips trembled with anger, and she didn't even feel the pain when her neatly trimmed nails dug into her flesh.
A loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. Chen Tang only struck these two times before going to greet the ladies from wealthy families.
Chen Xi was so angry that she couldn't stand, so the maid helped her into the pavilion to rest.
Before she got married, a bunch of ladies from wealthy families came to give her dowry and surrounded her to flatter and joke with her. But after just a few days, they all avoided her like the plague. When she entered the pavilion, several ladies who were sitting there hurried out for fear of being misunderstood.
Chen Xi's face turned green with anger.
Chen Xian sat in the pavilion for nearly two quarters of an hour, but no one came forward. Even Princess Ding'an of Prince Shunping's Mansion and Princess Yongchun of Prince Zhao's Mansion ignored her.
The words "bringing shame upon oneself" were almost engraved on her forehead. Chen Xian was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She was so angry that she felt dizzy and a little nauseous.
Fortunately, it was time for the banquet, and the maid came over to invite everyone to take their seats.
In order to hold the family reunion banquet successfully, the Marquis' Mansion specially invited two chefs from Zuixianlou to come to the mansion to cook. The banquet was exquisite and used only top-quality ingredients. It looked delicious and appetizing, which aroused people's appetite.
Fearing that Chen Ying might cause trouble, Chen Tang specifically ordered that Chen Ying be arranged to sit with her. They used to be inseparable sisters, and not long after, Chen Tang became the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Jingyang. No one could say anything when she sat with Shen Ying.
The family reunion banquet was held in the front yard, with the female family members dining inside the house and the officials in the yard.
Old Princess Ning sat at the same table with the old lady, and was accompanied by Princess Duan, the wife of the Right Prime Minister, the wife of Marquis Xuanyi and others. She was in a good mood today, so even though she never drank, Old Princess Ning drank two glasses of fruit wine.
Chen Sui took Xiao Huan to each table to toast and introduce his son to everyone. This was actually unnecessary, but it could not be omitted, after all, it was a banquet to recognize ancestors.
The first person to be paid respect to was Prince Ning.
Old Prince Ning was happy for Shen Sui and Xiao Huan, and also for himself.
Only after Xiao Huan recognized his ancestry could he marry Princess Roujia. After that, he could openly call her grandfather.
A bunch of ministers congratulated Shen Sui. Some who were on good terms with Shen Sui patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that I felt sorry for you before, but now I can only envy you."
Shen Sui was happy and drank all the toasts.
The atmosphere was bustling with cheers.
The women were also lively, but much more restrained. Chen Tang greeted the ladies, chatting and laughing.
Shen Xian was sitting next to Shen Tang. It was the first time in her life that she experienced what it meant to be a transparent person. She was clearly sitting there, but everyone seemed to be unable to see her.
In addition to Chen Tang, there were also Jiang Ning and Jiang Li at the table. None of them paid any attention to Chen Xian, but instead sandwiched her in the middle. The other ladies chatted and laughed with the people around them, isolating Chen Xian from them.
If Chen Xian could eat this banquet, even Chen Tang would admire her.
I'm so angry.
Chen Xian came here looking for trouble, so Chen Tang should satisfy her.
Chen Xi's internal organs seemed to be burning with anger, and waves of nausea surged up. Today's food seemed particularly not to her taste, and she felt like vomiting after eating it.
vomit.
Shen Xi vomited.
Swish.
Shen Tang's face suddenly turned cold.
The gagging sounds came one after another and it was almost impossible to suppress them.
Chen Xian immediately stood up and went out to vomit. Even if she had some courage, she would not dare to vomit at the banquet, as this would bring bad luck to the Marquis's Mansion. But as the Princess of Qi, she should not go out to banquets in the future. No matter how impulsive she was, she would not do such a thing that would hurt herself a thousand times and hurt the enemy eight hundred times.
Seeing Chen Xian running out, everyone at the table looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Tang wished she could have Chen Xian thrown out of the mansion. She knew that it would not be so simple for Chen Xian to come to the mansion.
Chen Tang stood up and said, "I'll go take a look, you guys eat."
When Chen Tang left, he said to Jiang Ning and Jiang Li, "Help me greet them."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Go ahead."
Chen Tang left with peace of mind, and Ginkgo and Qiu Tong followed.
After they went out of the door, the maid pointed and Chen Tang knew that Chen Ying had walked to the corner of the yard. Chen Tang walked over, but before he could get around, he heard bursts of vomiting sounds.
Shen Xian held onto the pillar and vomited all over the place. The maids were terrified, "Why is she vomiting so much? No, was she poisoned?"
Chen Xi also suspected so.
However, she did not doubt the Marquis' Mansion or Chen Tang. No matter how angry Chen Tang was with her, he would not plot against her at the cost of ruining Xiao Huan's return banquet.
But it is not certain whether Concubine Ye will be allowed to come to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate her.
Concubine Ye doesn't like her, so she wouldn't want her to die in Marquis Pingyuan's mansion, right?
This guess flashed through her mind, and Shen Xi's face turned pale.
But she couldn't suppress her nausea and continued to vomit.
When the fourth wife saw Chen Xian covering her mouth and going out, Chen Tang followed her out. She was worried, so she also came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Tang stood far away and said, "I don't know what happened, she suddenly vomited non-stop."
The fourth wife didn't know what to say.
Knowing that the second branch was not welcome in the Marquis' Mansion, he still came here. Not only did he come, but he also vomited like this.
Anyone who comes is a guest, let alone the Princess of Qi.
Chen Tang instructed Ginkgo, "There should be an imperial physician coming to the mansion to congratulate us. Ask an imperial physician to come and see Princess Qi."
The imperial physician came to the banquet in good health, but he had to go out for a consultation at a last-minute cost. Chen Tang felt unlucky for the imperial physician.
Not long after, the imperial physician came over. Shen Ying's face was pale from vomiting. If she hadn't been leaning against a pillar, the maid wouldn't have been able to support her.
The imperial physician stood there and felt Shen Xi's pulse. When the imperial physician stopped, the fourth wife asked, "Is Princess Qi okay?"
The doctor shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just pregnant."
