Chapter 314 Rejection
The servant of the second house was beaten black and blue, and ran away crawling.
Shen Sui was still wondering, why did Shen Tang let the second master come to the Marquis' Mansion to see the old lady, as he had angered the old lady several times and said he would send the old lady to the second house? It turned out that he was waiting for the second master here.
Knowing that Shen Tang was angry and worried about her second brother being in trouble, Shen Sui comforted her, "Your second brother is lucky, nothing will happen to him."
It is not certain that you will have great fortune, but it is certain that you will have a good life.
He was swapped at birth, nearly buried alive, adopted by the Lu family, and rescued by someone when his life was hanging by a thread at the border. Shen Sui believed that although his son had a tragic fate, he would be able to turn the danger into safety.
Chen Tang wanted to comfort Chen Sui so that he wouldn't worry too much, but she didn't expect to be comforted instead. She nodded.
Chen Tang said, "Father, please come into the mansion."
Shen Sui was ready to see Shen Tang off, but since Shen Tang asked him to go into the mansion first, Shen Sui went to the study.
After watching Shen Sui leave, Shen Tang looked at Manager Li, "From now on, any news from the Second House must not reach the old lady's ears. If Princess Qi comes, stop her."
"this……"
Manager Li was in a dilemma.
Although Chen Xian grew up in the Marquis of Pingyuan's Mansion, she is now the Princess of Qi and is pregnant. If she wants to come to the Marquis' Mansion, no one can stop her.
Chen Tang reminded her because she knew this. She knew Chen Xian too well. "Princess Qi wants to enter the Marquis' Mansion. Tell her that it was me who said so. As long as she enters this door, she will bear the consequences. If she doesn't believe it, just let her in."
The second wife's hair was cut off, and the second master's leg was broken...
This should all be the work of my second aunt.
These words can definitely intimidate Princess Qi.
Manager Li nodded, "I'll make a note of that."
After giving the instructions, Chen Tang got on the carriage and returned to the Jingyang Palace.
Prince Qi's Palace.
Chen Xi was admiring the flowers in the garden with great interest.
She had a slender figure, and although she was still pregnant, her belly was already bulging. Although she had no maternal family to rely on, because Concubine Ye and the Prince of Qi valued her pregnancy, no one in the Prince of Qi's mansion dared to disrespect her and they served her wholeheartedly.
Knowing that Chen Tang's beloved second brother Chen Xing was assassinated on his way back to Beijing and fell off a cliff, his life or death unknown, Chen Xiang was in great mood.
But this good mood disappeared with the arrival of the maid.
She was admiring the peonies when the maid ran over and said, "Princess, it's bad! An assassin broke into the Shen Mansion, and Madam's hair was cut off!"
The smile froze and cracked on his face.
He brushed his hand across the peony flowers and angrily tore a blooming peony into pieces.
"Shen, Tang!"
Two words squeezed out from between her teeth.
She couldn't think of anyone else except Chen Tang who would do such a thing and dare to do such a thing.
It must be her!
While Chen Xi was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, news came that the second master had his leg broken by a stick when he returned home.
After receiving the bad news one after another, Shen Xi was on the verge of collapse. The maid was frightened and quickly supported her, "Princess, don't get angry and get sick. Be careful not to disturb the fetus..."
How could Chen Xian not be angry? The Second Wife was her biological mother, the person who loved her the most in the world. She would never allow Chen Tang to bully her mother like this.
She pushed the maid away and walked out angrily.
As for Chen Tang, he returned to the Jingyang Palace. Because he had taught the second master and the second mistress a lesson, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and his appetite returned a little. After lunch, he felt a little sleepy, so he went to bed.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt someone reaching out to touch her forehead. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Guimo sitting beside the bed. Chen Tang said, "I'm not sick..."
Xie Guimo said, "You don't usually take a nap."
The sleep last night was not bad. The maid lit some calming incense, and although Chen Tang did not sleep soundly, he managed to sleep until dawn.
Chen Tang also felt that she was particularly tired these past two days, but she didn't think much about it. Her second brother was in trouble, and she was restless, and it was normal for her to have trouble eating and sleeping.
Chen Tang said, "I'm fine. I've just been anxious and worried for the past two days, so I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Tang's face and found that he was still energetic. After a good sleep, his face looked more rosy than the previous two days. He felt relieved.
Qiu Tong came in from outside and said, "Crown Princess, Princess Qi went to the Marquis' Mansion, but was stopped by Steward Li."
It was expected, and Shen Tang was not surprised at all.
Relying on her status as Princess of Qi, no one in the Marquis' Mansion could stop Chen Xian. She went to complain to the old lady and asked her to stand up for the second master and the second mistress. The old lady was already so sick that she was vomiting blood, and no one cared about her life or death.
If she wasn't so soft-hearted, she should have let Shen Xi in and just angered the old lady to death.
But Chen Tang knew that Chen Xi was not someone who would give up easily and would definitely look for her again.
The next morning, Chen Tang went to pay respects to the princess. As soon as she sat down, the maid came in and said, "Princess, the Princess of Qi sent someone to tell you to go to the Prince of Qi's mansion to see her."
She, Shen Xian, really thinks she is an important person. She thinks that since she is the Princess of Qi and someone is sent to the Jingyang Palace to pass on a message, she has to go and see her obediently, right?
Not to mention that she was only the Princess of Qi, even if Concubine Ye wanted to look for her, she would have plenty of excuses to refuse.
Chen Tang said, "When the person from Prince Qi's Mansion comes back, tell him that I am in a bad mood and unwell because my second brother was assassinated, so I can't leave the mansion. When I recover, I will go to Prince Qi's Mansion to see her."
As for when to recover, she has the final say.
If she, Shen Xian, has patience, she will wait. If she doesn't have patience, she will get angry.
If it weren't for the title of Princess Qi, in order to avoid giving the royal family face and give people something to talk about, Chen Tang wouldn't even respond to this perfunctory remark.
Seeing Chen Tang suppressing his anger, the princess sighed inwardly. A marquisate title caused brothers to quarrel with each other. She couldn't imagine how crazy she would be if her son was stolen or even buried alive. It was just a pity for Jiang, who died of depression. Chen Tang lost his mother's protection at such a young age.
Thinking of how Pingyuan Marquis's mansion favored Chen Xian, who was almost strangled to death when she was born, Chen Tang had refused to get on the bridal sedan at Jingyang Prince's mansion for the sake of sisterly love. If Xie Guimo hadn't insisted, this marriage would never have been possible.
The sisters have quarreled to this extent, so they should never talk to each other again. The Princess of Qi still wants to bully others by taking advantage of her power. It's no wonder that Tang'er and Mo'er want to support Prince Yu. It's just that the Princess of Qi is already like this. If she wants to sit on the position of Queen, there will be no way for Tang'er to survive.
The princess felt a terrible headache when she thought about Concubine Ye sending someone to invite her to the palace.
Chen Tang stayed at the princess's place for about a quarter of an hour before returning to Chenxiangxuan.
Being in a bad mood and not having the energy to do anything, Chen Tang was always thinking about his second brother, so he simply asked the maid to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for his second brother.
I had only copied a few pages when Si'er, standing outside the beaded curtain, said, "Crown Princess, Princess Qi is here."
It's really haunting.
There was deep disgust in Shen Tang’s eyes.
