Chapter 28 Surprise
Seeing Chen Tang's surprised expression, the man laughed, "Are you so surprised to see me?"
Shen Tang couldn't help but be surprised, she blurted out, "You're not dead?"
man,"……"
The smile on the man's face froze, and he said weakly, "Who told you I was dead? Weren't you looking for me yesterday?"
No one told her he was dead.
She had only seen him a few times in total, and she didn't even know what his face looked like under the mask. It was just that after the Lantern Festival in her previous life, she never saw him again until she was strangled to death by Chen Xian in the woodshed of Prince Jingyang's Mansion.
When they first met, he was investigating a corruption case at the Changping Marquis Mansion. Everything was fine at the Changping Marquis Mansion, but he was nowhere to be found. That's when she suspected that something had happened to him.
Thinking of this, Chen Tang became even angrier. She was angry for herself half a year ago. This bastard man teased her at the Lantern Festival, saying that he would marry her and would send someone to propose marriage when he returned. She believed it. God knew that a few days later, someone from Jingyang Palace came to propose marriage. She thought he was the prince of Jingyang, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The Jingyang Palace came to propose marriage to her eldest sister.
I felt ashamed when I thought that I had taken his joke seriously and had been looking forward to it for a long time.
And what he said, what did he mean I was still looking for him yesterday?
She thought he was dead, could she find him?
"I didn't look for you."
The man was a little unhappy. "You weren't looking for me? Then who were you looking for when you looked at all the noble family children at the Spring Banquet at Shou Palace yesterday?"
In order to find his elder brother yesterday, Chen Tang did look back and forth at those noble family disciples several times, but——
How did he know this?
Chen Tang looked at him, "Were you also in the Shou Palace yesterday?"
Yes, anyone who has the courage to investigate Marquis Changping and kick the Marquis Changping's son away must be of good status. As long as such a person is not engaged, he will definitely be invited to the Shouwang Mansion.
Thinking about how he might have looked the man up and down several times yesterday, Chen Tang became more and more curious about what the man looked like under the mask.
Chen Tang asked, "Who are you?"
She reached out to take off the man's mask, but the man grabbed her hand.
His palm was burning hot. Chen Tang felt the heat spread all the way from her hand to her face. Her face was burning. She wanted to pull her hand back, but no matter how hard she tried, he didn't let go. Chen Tang said angrily, "Forget about not showing it to me. Let me go now!"
This bastard didn't know what the physical contact between men and women shouldn't be like half a year ago, and he's still like this now. How can a man like him hold a girl's hand so easily? !
She didn't really need to see what he looked like, she just wanted to make up for the regrets of her past life.
In her previous life, she really believed what he said about coming to propose marriage, and she really wanted to marry him at that time. However, she was later tricked into marrying Shen Xi to the Prince of Jingyang for good luck, and he never appeared in front of her again, so she thought he was dead. She always regretted not insisting on him taking off the mask at the Lantern Festival, and she didn't even know what the person she once loved looked like.
Chen Tang couldn't break free, and became more and more annoyed. He glared at the man, and the man said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to show you, I'm just afraid of scaring you."
If you don't show me, just say it directly. What excuses are there? Shen Tang snorted, "I'm not such a coward."
The man looked at Chen Tang's clear eyes and said, "Indeed, there is no one else in Kyoto who has the courage to let the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion be carried back empty."
After a pause, the man said, "The Jingyang Palace is very powerful, and the Jingyang Prince's face is unmatched. Why don't you want to marry him?"
This question made Shen Tang feel angry, as if she should marry the Prince of Jingyang.
Chen Tang thought he could control his temper, but now he couldn't hold it back any longer. Anger surged from the bottom of his heart to his face, but it turned into a smile. "I'm still waiting for you to marry me. I'm going to marry the prince of Jingyang, so how can I marry you?"
The man seemed pleased, and smiled, "Didn't you think I was dead?"
Chen Tang, "..."
This guy's memory couldn't be worse. She said this a while ago, and he still remembered it.
Although he knew that he was not easy to fool, Chen Tang was unwilling to tell the truth, "There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is a man who is too good-looking, and the other is a liar."
The word "liar" was emphasized particularly strongly.
The man could tell that Shen Xi was talking about him, but he had just saved her from the Prince of Changping Marquis, so he didn't want to destroy the bridge immediately after crossing the river, so he spoke so tactfully.
Chen Tang looked at the man, "How long are you going to hold my hand?"
The man let go of her hand.
Chen Tang rubbed his wrist gently and said, "Thank you for saving me just now."
After bowing, Chen Tang walked back to look for Ginkgo.
Ginkgo was still lying on the ground. Chen Tang pinched her philtrum and tiger's mouth, and Ginkgo woke up.
Gingko opened his eyes, saw Chen Tang, and called out, "Girl..."
Chen Tang asked, "What's going on?"
Ginkgo said, "I went back to get the cloak. When I came back, the maid told me that the young lady was here. I came over and was walking fine. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck and fainted."
Her neck still hurt a lot, as if it had been hit by something.
Chen Tang knew that Ginkgo was knocked unconscious, so she helped her up. When she turned around, the man was gone.
As the master and servant were walking back and passing by the rockery, they saw a jade pendant lying quietly next to her discarded gold hairpin.
The jade pendant frightened her.
It is a jade pendant for men.
The slope here is not very high, and the Prince of Changping Marquis will not die from the fall, but after being kicked like that, people will definitely investigate who kicked him. If the jade pendant is picked up by someone from the Changping Marquis's mansion, there is no guarantee that they will not find out who the man is.
The Prince of Changping was beaten for her, and she couldn't leave such obvious evidence in the Changping Marquis' Mansion.
You can take it home...
Thinking of the embarrassing situation when the man went to the Marquis' Mansion to get something from her, Shen Tang could hardly move his feet.
I don't want to pick up the jade pendant.
After a struggle in his heart, Chen Tang still walked over and picked up the jade pendant and the gold hairpin.
After walking around the rockery, Chen Tang saw the servant of the Marquis of Changping, who had blocked her way before, lying on the ground. Ginkgo didn't know what was going on and was shocked. "Miss, let's go quickly."
The master and servant walked back to the market without stopping, and only felt relieved when they heard the noise.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw Chen Xi and the others coming over.
Seeing Chen Tang coming over as if nothing had happened, Chen Xian cursed the Marquis of Changping for being useless in her heart. She had sent the person over, but he still couldn't succeed.
Shen Tang naturally did not miss the disappointment in Shen Ying's eyes. God knows how much effort she put in to suppress the urge to slap Shen Ying.
A little impatience will ruin a big plan. A slap in the face would certainly make her feel relieved, but she is facing a group of people who will do anything to achieve their goals. She must not completely break off relations with them before she has the ability to protect herself.
She remembered today's revenge.
She will definitely get it back tenfold in the future!
