Chapter 234 Concern
Have a good night's sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Chen Tang sat on the bed and stretched. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong brought a copper basin into the room to help her get up.
After having breakfast with Xie Guimo, Chen Tang took Ginkgo to Wutong Courtyard to pay their respects to the old lady.
After walking around the screen and entering the room, he received several surprised looks. Chen Tang thought that he was not dressed properly or there was something dirty on his face. Chen Tang asked, "Why is Fourth Aunt looking at me like that?"
The fourth wife smiled and said, "I saw the prince carrying you back to Chenxiang Pavilion yesterday. I thought you had sprained your ankle and couldn't come to pay your respects to the old lady today."
Chen Tang blushed, and in his heart he greeted Xie Guimo. Just as he was about to explain, the Second Wife said, "The relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is good, but there are still many unmarried girls in the mansion. You newlyweds can do whatever you want in your own room, but you'd better be more careful outside."
The second and fourth wives were both born to the old lady.
Listening to the second wife's words, Shen Tang glanced at the girls, all of whom blushed.
What the Second Wife said was too explicit, much more explicit than when Xie Guimo hugged her.
Chen Tang couldn't refute it, she could only nod with a red face, "I think so too, but my husband doesn't listen. I'll ask Second Aunt to help me scold my husband later..."
This was what Chen Tang thought from the bottom of his heart, but obviously the Second Wife did not think so, and her face was slightly gloomy.
The Second Wife believed that Chen Tang was mocking her for picking on the weak, and since she didn't dare to criticize Xie Guimo, she blamed her.
The second wife took a sip of the tea and said nothing more.
Chen Tang stepped forward, bowed to the old lady, and then said, "I'm going back home today, and my husband asked me to go back early, so I'll take my leave now."
The old lady raised her eyelids lazily, and Chen Tang turned and left.
When they returned to Chenxiangxuan, the maid in the front yard came to report that the carriage was ready, so Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang back home.
In his previous life, after Xie Guimo recovered from his injury, he accompanied her back home, let alone now.
Well, not only did he accompany Chen Tang back home, he also rode back with him in the carriage.
Xie Guimo got on the carriage and held Chen Tang in his arms. Chen Tang said, "I went to pay my respects today and was scolded. Why don't you behave yourself?"
Xie Guimo frowned, "What are you scolding me for?"
Chen Tang said, "When you carried me back from the garden yesterday..."
Xie Guimo said, "You sprained your ankle. If I don't hold you, should I carry you on my back?"
Chen Tang, "..."
You can help her.
Besides, she didn’t really sprain her ankle.
Xie Guimo said, "You don't have to pay attention to what they say."
She didn't want to pay attention, but the words were harsh.
Although the wives of the Jingyang Palace were not as vicious and cruel as the Second Wife, none of them were worry-free. Moreover, in their previous lives, Concubine Jiang and Imperial Concubine Ye were in cahoots with each other, so they had to be on guard.
Chen Tang wanted to sit back, but Xie Guimo pressed her waist and said, "Just sit like this, I'm not doing anything."
He didn't do anything, but she could talk while sitting next to him.
But Xie Guimo refused to let go. Chen Tang couldn't break free and was afraid of getting her skirt wrinkled or her hair messed up, so she had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
But soon, Xie Guimo regretted it. Well, don't think about it in the wrong way. It's not that this posture is seductive, but when the carriage passed an intersection, a carriage on the side suddenly rushed over. The carriage failed to avoid it completely and was hit. Shen Tang, who was sitting in the carriage, was caught off guard and bumped into Xie Guimo, and his forehead hit his nose, causing Xie Guimo to gasp in pain.
Chen Qi rode over and asked, "Is the Crown Prince and Crown Princess okay?"
Shen Tang covered his forehead.
Xie Guimo asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Qi said, "It's the carriage of the second branch of the Shen family..."
When Chen Tang lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw that the carriage that hit theirs had deviated from its direction and hit a tea stall's carriage, which was the carriage that the second wife usually rode in.
It's really haunting.
It was a happy day to visit my parents’ parents, but I encountered such bad luck.
Fortunately, the carriage of Prince Jingyang's Palace is sturdy. If it had been smashed, we would not be able to go back today.
The Second Madam's carriage hit the tea stall and the horse was forced to stop. The Second Madam got out of the carriage, her hair disheveled and she looked extremely embarrassed. When she saw that it was Chen Tang, she gnashed her teeth in anger.
Although Chen Tang felt unlucky, seeing the Second Madam like this, he felt that unless the Second Madam didn't want to live, she wouldn't deliberately let her carriage hit them. If the Second Madam wanted to die, she could take all the blame and commit suicide that day. She might not be able to expel the entire Second House from the Marquis' Mansion.
The second wife cherishes her life very much.
But Shen Tang didn't believe this was an accident.
Chen Tang was thinking about this, and then the embroidered handkerchief in his hand was taken away. Chen Tang turned around and saw Xie Guimo holding his head high, bleeding from his nose.
Chen Tang was shocked, "How could the collision be so serious? I need to see a doctor."
Xie Guimo said, "It's not that serious, it will be fine in a while."
The carriage stopped in the middle of the road, blocking pedestrians. The servant continued to drive the carriage forward until it stopped in front of the gate of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Huan came out to greet her. Chen Tang got off the carriage first. Seeing her red forehead, Xiao Huan asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Tang said, "The carriage was hit by the second house's carriage and accidentally hit my husband's nose."
The collision on the nose was so severe, how serious must the injury be to my brother-in-law?
Seeing Xie Guimo coming out with his nose covered, Xiao Huan asked, "Is my brother-in-law okay?"
Xie Guimo shook his head, "The bleeding has stopped."
Since they were back, they must go into the mansion, so Xiao Huan invited them in.
When crossing the threshold, Chen Tang whispered to Xie Guimo, "I don't think you'll dare to ride in a carriage next time."
The look on his face, as if he didn't listen to his wife and suffered a loss, made Xie Guimo's teeth itch. "You have no conscience. If I hadn't blocked it for you today, you would have crashed into the carriage."
If she hadn't insisted on holding her, her forehead wouldn't have hit the carriage at all.
However, considering the direction in which the carriage hit, her forehead was fine, but the back of her head was not spared.
But she hadn't offended many people, so who would be the one making things difficult for them today? Chen Tang guessed all the way to Songhe Hall.
Inside the house, the old lady was sitting on the Luohan couch, and Shen Sui, the third master, the fourth master, and the third and fourth wives were all there.
When she saw Chen Tang, she asked her what happened to her forehead. She had to explain again. When she heard that it was the second wife, the old lady's face was very long.
Shen Sui was also a little unhappy, but he didn't show it so obviously, "I'm glad you're okay, serve tea."
There was no need to kneel down to serve tea, so the maid did not prepare a cushion. After serving a round of tea, they sat down to talk.
But after a short chat, Xie Guimo and Xiao Huan left to play chess in Shen Sui's study. After Xie Guimo left, the old lady asked Shen Tang, "Are you used to living in Jingyang Palace?"
Chen Tang nodded slightly.
Chen Luo said, "Second sister, you don't know that grandma has been thinking about you these past two days, worried that you are leaving the Marquis' Mansion for the first time and are not used to living in the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion."
We are all experienced people and know what it feels like to marry into a strange place.
It took Chen Tang several days to adapt in his previous life.
Chen Tang said, "I'm sorry to make grandma worried."
