Chapter 22 Acting
This sentence attracted everyone's attention to the second wife.
The second wife suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Talking about being sick, Shen Tang also fell ill.
In terms of grievances, most of the grievances that Chen Tang suffered were caused by Chen Xian.
If Chen Xi could spend so much money from the public treasury on jewelry, why couldn't Chen Tang?
Chen Tang looked at the old lady, his eyes red as he said, “Grandma, I didn’t want the public to pay, and I didn’t know that Second Aunt’s future eldest sister bought more jewelry, but the people from Jingyang Palace took away my favorite gold hairpin, and I didn’t dare to ask my father to help me get it back.
I fell in love with this set of jewelry today. After looking around for a few times, I still wanted it. I calculated that I had just enough money, so I bought it..."
The old lady also heard about the golden hairpin being taken away. She didn't understand why the guards of Prince Jingyang took the golden hairpin away, but it was definitely impossible for her to get it back.
Seeing Chen Tang looking aggrieved for spending his own money and still being afraid of being scolded, the old lady glanced coldly at the second wife. The second wife felt as if the chair under her butt had grown thorns out of nowhere, making it difficult for her to sit still.
The old lady said in a gentle tone, "Grandmother won't blame you. Since the public school has paid for it, it is considered as the compensation given to you by the public school."
Shen Tang was stunned at first, then surprised, and quickly stood up, "Thank you, grandma."
The superb acting skills bring out the unexpected surprise to the fullest.
Chen Xi was so angry that she didn't even crush the scented handkerchief in her hand.
The joy of buying more jewelry is gone.
In his previous life, Chen Tang always gave in to Chen Xi, but that didn't mean he didn't understand her. When Chen Xi left them to go to Jinbao Pavilion, Chen Tang guessed what she was going to do.
Chen Tang didn't have to buy that set of jewelry, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to cause trouble for Chen Xi and the Second Wife.
Seeing Chen Xi's angry eyes spitting fire, but she was trying to endure it and not flare up, Chen Tang felt so happy in his heart.
The Second Wife was unwilling to let Chen Tang take such a huge advantage of the family. She would have tolerated it even if it was the same as Shen Xi's. But it was doubled, and she couldn't object. She kept winking at the Third Wife, asking her to take the lead, and then she would change her mind.
The Third Madam also had opinions. After all, the palace belonged to everyone. But just as she was about to speak, Chen Tang took the jewelry box from the maid and handed it to the Third Madam, "This is the jewelry chosen by the Fourth Sister. It is very beautiful. Third Aunt, take a look."
The third wife paused as the words were about to come out of her mouth and subconsciously reached out to take the jewelry box.
When she opened the jewelry box, she saw that in addition to the pair of jade hairpins that Chen Luo had chosen, there was also a pair of gold hairpins and a gold bracelet that looked heavy.
The Third Wife was not stupid, she immediately realized what was going on and said, "I know that the Second Sister-in-law has always loved the eldest daughter, but the old lady asked the Second Sister-in-law to help manage the household, so the Second Sister-in-law should treat everyone equally. Our husband is not lacking in that, right?"
The second wife vomited a mouthful of blood and almost choked herself to death.
The old lady looked even more displeased at the second wife. She made the excuse that she was tired and sent everyone away, but kept the second wife.
Chen Tang knew that the old lady kept the second wife to scold her for being unfair in housekeeping, but Chen Tang was not happy. Without a mistress in the eldest house, the old lady would only hand over the household affairs to her own daughter-in-law and would not let the third and fourth wives, who were born out of wedlock, get involved.
Even when scolding the Second Wife, he had to send everyone away, for fear of affecting the Second Wife's prestige as a housekeeper.
But she would not let the Second Wife always occupy the power of housekeeper in the Marquis' Mansion. She gave Chen Luo a few more pieces of jewelry today. In addition to appeasing the Third Wife, she also wanted to take the opportunity to see if the Third Wife had the courage to go against the Second Wife.
Chen Tang walked in front, thinking about things as he walked, and Yin Xing followed behind, looking at the jewelry box in her hand, feeling like she was dreaming.
Not only was the girl not tricked by the eldest girl, she also received jewelry awarded by the old lady and went to Wancui Pavilion to buy such expensive jewelry without having to spend a single ounce of silver out of her own pocket. How did the girl suddenly become so powerful?
Did the girl's brain become clear after being hit by the second wife?
Ginkgo even wanted to burn incense and kowtow to that pillar.
The master and servant walked forward for a while, and a voice with suppressed anger came from behind, "Stop!"
It was Chen Xi's voice.
Shen Tang stopped walking but did not turn around.
Chen Xian angrily chased after him, blocking Chen Tang's way, and gnashed her teeth and said, "You're happy to let my grandmother punish me?!"
Chen Tang laughed when he heard this. "Who started this? You and Second Aunt accused me of turning a deaf ear to Grandmother's words, are you trying to get Grandmother to reward me? You do it on the first day, so don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth."
Shen Xian suppressed her anger and said, "We are sisters, do we have to go to this extent?"
Now that I know they are sisters, why didn’t I think of this when I was planning to marry her off as a substitute?
Chen Tang felt disgusted, but she held it back. She knew what Chen Ying was going to do. "Since we are sisters, don't beat around the bush when talking."
Shen Xi really didn't beat around the bush, "Go ask grandma to forgive me for copying the family rules!"
really……
Chen Tang said coldly, “I don’t have that ability.”
Chen Xi said, "Go and ask grandma, she will not refuse you."
OK.
She could ask her grandmother for help.
As long as she doesn't regret it.
Chen Tang turned around and went back to Songhe Hall.
Chen Xi did not go with them, but took her maid back to Qinglan Garden where she lived.
I had only drunk half a cup of tea when Hongxiu, the old lady's maid, came in with a stack of papers.
Hongxiu said, "The eldest girl wants to go to the Buddhist temple to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the late lady in the afterlife, and the old lady has approved it."
"This is the gold-sprinkled paper that the old lady usually uses to copy Buddhist scriptures. She specially asked me to bring it to you. When the eldest girl has copied it, she will send it to the Jokhang Temple for worship."
Chen Xian, "……!!!"
real.
Chen Xi's face was smoking with anger.
What she wants is not to copy the family rules, not to copy the Buddhist scriptures instead!
It’s not about copying in the Buddhist temple!
Chen Xian was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but she had no choice but to agree.
As soon as Chen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden, he sneezed twice, but his mood became better.
Since you are unwilling to copy the family rules, then just copy the Buddhist scriptures.
Copying Buddhist scriptures can calm your mind, and it is even more peaceful to copy them in the Buddhist temple using the gold-sprinkled paper given by the old lady.
