Chapter 31 Deliberate
Swish.
Everyone in the room looked at Shen Tang.
Even Chen Tang himself was dumbfounded.
She doesn't want to get married and wants to ruin her reputation so that no one will come to propose marriage to her, but she is not really unlucky to others.
Once, it could be said to be an accident, it was Master Fang's own bad luck, and it had nothing to do with her, but how to explain the Duke Wen falling down while sitting in the sedan chair today...
In her previous life, she married Xie Guimo for good luck, but nothing like these happened. Could it be that if she lives again, she will bring bad luck to others?
Chen Tang believes even more that his wishes will come true.
Well, there’s no need to let people go out of the house to spread rumors now. I guess the rumors are already flying everywhere by now.
He tried hard not to laugh. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shen Tang showed an innocent expression, which made Shen Sui's head buzz. He raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. The old lady's brows were furrowed so hard that they could pinch a fly to death.
The second wife sat aside, looking extremely unhappy, "When the eldest girl was engaged to the prince of Jingyang, nothing like this happened..."
For fear that Chen Xian would be implicated, he wanted to get rid of Chen Xian as soon as possible.
But this is not something that the second wife can do if she wants to avoid implicating Shen Xi. Her power to jinx people is too strong. There is no engagement yet, but something went wrong just by proposing to marry her. Who would dare to come if he is not afraid of death?
There are so many ladies from noble families in Kyoto, and the girls from Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion have no more eyes or ears than others. It's not necessary for them to be the only ones, so why risk their lives? Besides, Shen Xi had just been rejected by Jingyang Prince's Mansion, so it's even more impossible for anyone to propose to her.
Chen Tang looked at the old lady, then at Chen Sui and said, "Father, mother told me not to get married before I turned sixteen, so you and grandmother should not rush to marry me off. Wouldn't it be better if I could stay with you for a while longer?"
The old lady is exhausted both physically and mentally, so shouldn’t they rush to marry her off now? No one dares to marry her.
The second wife sat aside, gritting her teeth in anger, and the scented handkerchief in Chen Xi's hand was torn to pieces.
Seeing Chen Xian and the Second Madam looking angry but unable to vent their anger, Chen Tang raised the corners of her mouth several times, afraid that she could not hold it back any longer. As soon as Chen Sui left, she bowed and left.
All the way back to Qingyi Garden from Songhe Hall, every maid passing by looked at him sideways. Poor Chen Tang forced himself to return to Qingyi Garden. As soon as he entered the house, his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
Gingko was walking behind. She didn't know that Chen Tang was laughing, so she thought she was angry. She said, "Miss, don't get angry and get yourself hurt. I won't bring bad luck to others. It's them who are not lucky enough to marry me..."
At this point, Ginkgo's voice stopped abruptly, because she walked to the front and found Shen Tang laughing.
ginkgo,"……???"
Ginkgo was anxious, "Miss, don't scare me. I'll ask someone to get a doctor for you."
As he was about to run out, he was stopped by Shen Tang, "I'm fine, I'm just too happy."
The girl was really mad.
Ginkgo was so anxious that tears came out. Chen Tang asked her, "Do you want to get married?"
Ginkgo shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to get married. I want to follow you forever."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "I don't want to get married either."
ginkgo,"……"
"How can it be possible for a girl not to get married?" Ginkgo blurted out.
“…”
A maid can choose not to marry, but her master can’t, right?
Chen Tang couldn't help it, raised his hand and knocked on Yin Xing's forehead, "If you say one more word, I will marry you off now."
Ginkgo shut up immediately and dared not say another word.
But she didn't dare to say it, her eyes were still glancing around, and seeing that Chen Tang was really happy and not angry at all, Ginkgo couldn't understand why her own girl was so happy. How could she be happy at all?
The young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. She will definitely marry into a wealthy and powerful family and live a life of luxury. How can a little maid like her marry into a good family? Now she only has to serve the young lady. After she gets married, she may have to serve a whole family. Of course, she doesn't want to get married. Besides, no one will gossip about the maid if she doesn't get married, but if the young lady doesn't get married, the Marquis will be criticized as well.
No one knew that the wife of the Minister of Rites came to ask for Chen Tang's hand in marriage for her son yesterday, so no one spread any rumors when Young Master Fang was startled and fell into the water on the street. But today, Duke Wen took Chen Sui to propose marriage for his son, and many ministers saw it. After Duke Wen got into trouble, the news of the wife of the Minister of Rites coming to propose marriage yesterday also spread.
Anyone who heard about it would doubt that Shen Tang was a jinx.
Rumors from the streets, teahouses and taverns spread into the mansion. Ginkgo told Chen Tang as much as she heard, but unfortunately Chen Tang just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart at all.
The girl is not angry at all. Doesn’t she know how to be anxious?
Ginkgo was discouraged.
Chen Tang was leaning on the small couch, flipping through a book, when suddenly, there was a knock on the window, startling her.
However, Chen Tang reacted quickly and stopped Ginkgo before she could speak, "You are here to find me, go guard the door and don't let anyone in."
Ginkgo's heart was pounding with fear. She looked back every few steps as she walked out. When she reached the bead curtain, she saw the window was pushed open and a masked man jumped in. She was almost scared to death, fearing that someone would come in and see her meeting a man in the boudoir, so she quickly went out to guard the door and not let anyone get close to the inner room.
Seeing the man, Chen Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that scaring people can kill them!"
The man was silent for a moment. "Then I won't knock on the window next time and just come in directly?"
Does he want there to be a next time? !
It happened twice, and both times she was almost scared to death.
I really need to tell my father to strengthen the guards at the Marquis' Mansion. It is a Marquis' Mansion after all. If they allow people to come and go as they please, one day her own daughter might be carried away and sold without her knowing.
Chen Tang walked towards the dressing table and threw the jade pendant that he had picked up yesterday, which was hidden in the secret compartment at the bottom of the dressing box, to the man. "You are lucky to have dropped the jade pendant that you carry with you. You are lucky to be alive today."
The man caught the jade pendant and chuckled. Chen Tang suddenly reacted, his ears turned red, and he stamped his feet, "You did it on purpose!"
The man checked the mansion of Marquis Changping and beat the eldest son of Marquis Changping. The jade pendant fell next to the golden hairpin. It was hard for her not to see it. The jade pendant did not fall on the ground. He put it there for her to pick up!
The man's mouth curled up, and he leaned over to look into Chen Tang's eyes, "Not too stupid."
He scared her and called her stupid. Shen Tang really wanted to kick him out of the window.
But she didn't have that ability, so she could only think about it in her heart. She couldn't understand why she hadn't met this person for four years in her previous life, but she had seen him twice in two days in this life. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
What on earth does this person want to do?
Chen Tang didn't like guessing, so he asked directly, "Why did you suddenly come to me again?"
Thinking that he was suspected to death, the man's forehead jumped suddenly. He looked at Chen Tang. Chen Tang subconsciously took two steps back and hit the antique shelf. The red jade porcelain vase almost fell to the ground and was caught by the man. The man said, "It's not that I don't want to come to you, but I had to leave Beijing for something urgent after the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, I came back and you haven't promised it to someone else."
Chen Tang didn't expect him to explain why he disappeared. In her previous life, because she married Xie Guimo, he never appeared in front of her again?
The man looked at Chen Tang and coaxed softly, "Are you not angry anymore?"
The voice was low and seductive, and Chen Tang's ears felt hot. "Why are you explaining so much to me..."
"I said I would marry you, and I won't break my promise," the man said.
...A man who doesn't even dare to show her his identity and face keeps saying that he will marry her. What credibility does he give her?
She is no longer the gullible Miss Shen Er.
If the other person hadn't saved her yesterday, she would have scolded him to death.
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Marry me? People on the street are talking about me being a jinx, haven't you heard?"
The man chuckled, "It's not you who's against them, it's me."
Chen Tang was stunned, then his eyes widened and his voice rose, "Master Fang's horse was startled and fell into the water, and Duke Wen was injured. Did you do all this?!"
