Chapter 237 Accident
As Xie Guimo spoke, he sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and smelled the tea. His expression made it clear that if you want to break your son's arm, just insist, and I will definitely grant your wish.
Concubine Jiang was so angry that she was shaking all over, "My Lord, it's fine if the prince threatens me, but he dares to threaten you too!"
Xie Guimo stretched out his arm, "I want to slander my second brother, I will give him this arm, I am not afraid, but do you dare to insist that father investigate it thoroughly?"
With a look of contempt, Concubine Jiang opened her mouth but didn't dare to utter a word.
Xie Guimo knocked the teacup in his hand heavily onto the small table, which frightened Concubine Jiang's heart. The princess was reasonable, but the prince was a reckless person. If he was not satisfied, he would throw the teacup at her whenever he wanted.
Xie Guimo said coldly, "He killed someone with a borrowed knife. I wanted to let him off the hook and beat him up, but he didn't repent and went to my father to make trouble, trying to turn the tables. If he doesn't give me an explanation for what happened today, I'll beat him so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."
After saying this, Xie Guimo got up and left.
After Xie Guimo left the house, Concubine Jiang dared to speak, "My Lord, look at him..."
The prince picked up the official document and said coldly, "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel for two hours."
Concubine Jiang's face turned pale. She couldn't believe what she heard and stamped her feet in anger, "Your Majesty!"
The prince looked impatient, "One arm at a time, Mo'er dares to gamble, why don't you dare?"
Concubine Jiang avoided looking.
The prince said, "This matter has already passed, but you refuse to let it go. If you don't kneel, then wait for Mo'er to beat Yin'er."
Concubine Jiang's eyes turned red with anger, "Your Majesty, you let the prince bully Yin'er like this?!"
The prince's eyes turned cold instantly when he looked at the memorial. Concubine Jiang felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't dare to say another word and walked away with a look of grievance on her face.
Inside the house, Chen Tang was sitting there eating fruit, and Ginkgo was a little worried, "The prince beat up the second young master, the prince won't punish him, right?"
Chen Tang said, “No.”
The tone is firm.
Gingko asked, "Are you so sure, Princess?"
After all, I have spent several years in the Jingyang Palace. If I don’t have this little bit of confidence, it would be a waste of my time.
Because the prince was drunk, he had to marry his cousin, Concubine Jiang. The prince felt guilty towards both the princess and Concubine Jiang. Normally, when Concubine Jiang and the prince confronted each other, the prince would avoid them if he could. If he couldn't avoid them, he would just deal with them fairly and impartially. This was also the case with Xie Guimo and Xie Guiyin.
The prince will not favor anyone, nor will he listen to one side only. Concubine Jiang's tricks are no match for Xie Guimo. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Jiang is the prince's cousin and the Jiang family's kindness to the prince, Concubine Jiang would have died countless times.
Thinking of how Xie Guimo was schemed against by Concubine Ye and the Second Prince in his previous life, and how the Jingyang Palace ended up falling into the hands of Concubine Jiang and her son, Chen Tang felt a sense of humiliation in his heart.
Seeing that Chen Tang was not worried at all, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong felt relieved.
After Xie Guimo finished eating the fruit in his hand, he came back. He entered the room and the maid came in right after him, panting, "My Lord, the prince has punished Concubine Jiang to kneel in the Buddhist temple for two hours..."
I have never seen anyone asking for trouble like this. Xie Guimo didn't want to make a big deal out of things on the third day of their wedding, so he only beat Xie Guiyin as a small punishment and a stern warning. Concubine Jiang didn't keep a low profile and even dared to make accusations. She must have lived too comfortably and would feel uncomfortable if she didn't make herself unhappy.
After the maid finished her report and left, another maid came in from outside and stood outside the beaded curtain and said, "Master, Master, Princess, the princess is here."
Chen Tang quickly stood up, and Xie Guimo put down the teacup he had picked up. The two went out to greet the princess. Just as they reached the beaded curtain, the princess came in and asked Xie Guimo, "What happened? Why did you fight with the second young master?"
Xie Guimo said, "My second brother just helped me a little, so I gave him some guidance as a thank you."
The princess glared at Xie Guimo and said, "Mother is not so easy to fool."
If Mo'er needed the Second Young Master's help with something, the Second Young Master was not so kind, nor did he beat anyone up as a thank you.
Knowing that the princess is not easy to deceive, and since she had come to Chenxiangxuan to ask, she would definitely ask for clarification before leaving. Xie Guimo said, "I went to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion this morning and was hit by an out-of-control carriage on the street. That carriage was the work of my second brother."
The princess's face darkened. She looked at Chen Tang's slightly red and swollen forehead, "Is this how you got this injury?"
Chen Tang nodded slightly, "It's nothing serious, mother, don't worry."
The princess said, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
Chen Tang and Xie Guimo were both fine, and after beating Xie Guiyin and punishing Concubine Jiang, the princess didn't say anything else. However, the second young master used a knife to kill someone, and Concubine Jiang even complained to the prince and asked him to punish Xie Guimo. The princess was not worried either, she glanced at Nanny Yun.
Nanny Yun understood, and after leaving Chenxiangxuan, she sent a maid to watch over the Buddhist temple.
With no one watching, Concubine Jiang would not kneel obediently for two hours. She was sneaky and evasive when she was punished, and ignored the prince's punishment. The princess could just punish her to kneel for another two hours.
Concubine Jiang knelt on the futon, gritting her teeth in anger. She didn't find out who told Xie Guimo, and she still fell into trouble. How could she not be angry?
After the princess left, Xie Guimo drank a cup of tea, and then there was a knock on the window.
"Come in."
With a creak, the window opened and Chen Qi, who had gone to check on the son of Changping Marquis, came back.
Chen Qi stepped forward and said, "The Prince of Changping is riding his horse in the street. He must be in a hurry to get to the Wang family."
"Wang family?" Shen Tang's voice rose.
Chen Qi nodded, "The eldest young lady of the Wang family fell on the bridge of the Wang family garden, and the baby in her belly was lost..."
No wonder the Prince of Changping was so anxious and flustered. He was drugged by Xie Guimo and could no longer function. He was the only son in the Changping Marquisate and the continuation of the family line depended entirely on him. It was most likely that the baby in Mrs. Wang's belly was his. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they had to ensure the safe birth. As a result, something went wrong. It would be strange if the Prince of Changping was not anxious.
But how could the eldest young lady of the Wang family be so careless? Because the Changping Marquis's Mansion attached great importance to her, the eldest young lady of the Wang family relied on the child in her belly to show off in the Wang family, and the whole Wang family dared to be angry but not to say anything. The child was the eldest young lady of the Wang family's reliance, and she and the Wang family should have been extremely cautious. How could such an accident happen?
As Chen Tang thought so, Chen Qi said, “It shouldn’t be an accident that Young Madam Wang got into trouble…”
Shen Tang looked at him.
Chen Qi said, "Mrs. Shen went to Wang's house today. She had an accident on the street. She was dishevelled and had injuries on her face. Mrs. Wang mocked her with her words. She fell in the garden in less than half an hour."
The Second Wife is a ruthless person. Young Lady Wang cheated on Young Master Wang, but she tolerated it again and again because she didn't want to offend the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Now, Shen Xi is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Marquis of Changping's son. Of course, an only child is a rare treasure.
With the child in Chen Xi's belly, the Prince of Changping would not do anything to her and the Wang family. Even so, why would he still tolerate the eldest lady of the Wang family?
The Wang family has had enough of the humiliation they have endured in the past few months.
When Mrs. Wang fell, not only did she lose the baby in her belly, she also suffered heavy bleeding. The Wang family was afraid that they would not be able to explain to the Prince of Changping, so they immediately invited a doctor to the mansion. Fortunately, she was able to save her life, but it was only her life that was saved. She could not get pregnant again.
