Chapter 315: Threat
People have come to Prince Jingyang's mansion, so she has to see them whether she wants to or not.
She just didn't want to see Chen Xi, not that she was afraid of seeing her.
Putting down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, Chen Tang stood up.
When he went out and didn't see Chen Xi, Chen Tang went out of the courtyard, and when he still didn't see anyone, he simply went to the second gate.
It wasn't that she wanted to welcome Chen Xian, Chen Xian was not worthy of it. Chen Tang didn't want her to enter Chen Xiang Xuan, fearing that she would dirty the place.
When they reached the garden, they saw from afar a maid leading Shen Xi over.
Eyes met.
The disgust in Shen Tang's eyes was undisguised.
Chen Xi was even more excited.
Walking over, Chen Xian said to Chen Tang, "Aren't you in a bad mood and unwell because of your second brother's accident? Why did you come out to greet me?"
He emphasized the word "welcome" with extra emphasis.
Chen Tang was too lazy to pay attention, "I want to know, what's the matter? Princess Qi is pregnant, why does she have to come to Jingyang Palace to see me?"
Chen Xi said angrily, "Stop pretending with me!"
Chen Tang said, “If you don’t tell me, I will ask the maid to see you off.”
"you!"
Chen Xi was so angry that her back teeth ached.
She glared at Chen Tang, “Don’t think I don’t know, it was you who had my mother’s hair cut off and my father’s legs broken!”
The maid who led the way stood aside and did not leave. When she heard this, she shuddered all over.
No wonder the Princess of Qi was so angry, could it really be the Crown Prince’s Consort who did it?
Fearing that she would be silenced if she knew too much, the maid quickly withdrew.
Seeing how angry Chen Xian was, wishing she could skin her alive, Chen Tang was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "Second Aunt had her hair cut, and Second Uncle had his legs broken? It's hard for Princess Qi to come and tell me this good news in person."
Chen Xi was so angry that smoke came out of her head and her lower abdomen ached. "Don't you dare to take responsibility for your actions? You dare not admit that you sent someone to do such a thing!"
Chen Tang chuckled, "If Princess Qi wants to determine that it was me who did it, she can send people to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice to file a complaint, bring me to justice, and avenge my uncle and aunt. Why bother coming here to provoke me?"
There is no evidence. Even if we know that she did it, what can we do?
Just like she knew that her eldest brother got lost at the Lantern Festival because of the second wife's fault, but she had no evidence and could not do anything to the second wife.
She suffered the pain of having no evidence, and the second wife had to swallow the pain as well.
No matter how Chen Xian tried to provoke him, Chen Tang refused to admit it. Chen Xian's fists were like hitting cotton, which was of no use except making herself very angry.
Chen Xi said, "You didn't do it, and you threatened me with words and stopped me from seeing my grandmother?!"
Chen Tang said, "Not only did Princess Qi not appreciate my good intentions, but she came to my house to ask for punishment instead."
"You mean well?" Chen Xi gritted her teeth in anger.
Chen Tang said, "Princess Qi is pregnant, and your grandmother is ill. Aren't you afraid that the disease will be passed on to you and affect the fetus in your belly?"
Shen Xian came to force Shen Tang to admit that it was she who sent people to the Shen residence to cut off the second wife's hair and break the second master's legs, but Shen Tang not only refused to admit it, but also made his words so flawless that she couldn't find any loopholes. She was so angry, but she had no idea what to do.
Chen Xian did not give up and continued, "Second brother's accident has nothing to do with me and the second house! Why are you taking your anger out on me!"
Chen Tang said, "Since it has nothing to do with the Second House, why do you suspect that I had someone do it when something happened to the Second House? Do I have such a deep hatred with the Second House?"
It would be strange if there weren’t any!
Although everyone in Kyoto knew about the second wife's substitution, Shen Xi was unwilling to say it again.
Knowing that today's trip was in vain and that she would not be able to get any useful information out of Chen Tang, Chen Xian was furious.
Chen Xi said, "You can deny it, but you'd better not let anyone get any evidence!"
Chen Tang raised his lips and said, "Princess Qi has the energy, so she should send more people to protect Second Uncle and Second Aunt. They have been broken into the mansion and their legs have been broken. It would be easy to kill them."
Under Chen Xiyun's sleeves, her neatly trimmed nails dug into her flesh.
She threw away her sleeves and turned away.
Seeing Chen Xiang coming in angrily and leaving in a rage, Chen Tang's mood was brighter than the sun above his head.
Gingko stood aside, tugged at Chen Tang's sleeve, and motioned her to look at the rockery beside her.
There is a hint of green on the rockery, which is made of top-quality cloud gauze material.
Chen Xian provoked Chen Tang everywhere, but she refused to admit it, just to prevent someone from eavesdropping. The Jingyang Palace was not united in mind. Concubine Jiang and the second and fourth rooms were all Concubine Ye's people. If she really succumbed to Chen Xian and admitted that she was the one who sent someone to break the second master's leg, she would definitely sue the emperor. With the testimony of people from the Jingyang Palace, the emperor would punish her even if he favored Xie Guimo.
Her reputation would also be in tatters.
Chen Tang would definitely not rush into a verbal attack on something that would put him in danger. As I said before, if Chen Xian had evidence, she could go to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice to sue her. If she didn't have evidence, she could just keep it to herself.
Chen Tang shook his head at Ginkgo, and the master and servant turned around and walked back. However, when they passed the rockery, Chen Tang cried out, "Ah!" "There's a snake!"
Before she finished her words, the two people who were eavesdropping behind the rockery, Xie Yan and Xie Wei, jumped up in fright. Xie Yan stepped on the hem of Xie Wei's skirt, and Xie Wei fell forward, hitting her forehead on the rockery, hurting so much that she saw stars. Xie Yan was not in a better condition either, she fell from the rockery to the ground, her hand was cut by a stone, and was bleeding.
The two fell down, and Chen Tang looked surprised, "You, you guys..."
Xie Yan gritted her teeth, "You are scaring us on purpose!"
She did it on purpose.
But she wouldn't admit it either.
Chen Tang said, "You'd better get up quickly. I really saw a snake, so I won't help you..."
After saying that, Chen Tang walked away without pursuing the matter of eavesdropping.
After falling like this, I can’t hide it even if I want to.
She was talking to the Princess of Qi, and they were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping. Doing such a disrespectful thing would make it difficult for them to pass the test of the old lady, let alone the prince and princess. There was no need for her to say more.
Chen Tang looked as if he was afraid of being bitten by a snake and left quickly. Xie Yan and Xie Wei were also really scared. Although it was already autumn, it didn't mean that there were really no snakes. Although they thought Chen Tang was scaring them, it's better to be safe than sorry.
The two men quickly stood up and moved away from the rockery. One of them bumped into it, and the other fell to the ground. They were in such a miserable state.
Looking at Chen Tang's leaving back, Xie Yan and Xie Wei almost bit their teeth to pieces.
The maid came over and said, "Miss..."
"Hurry up and get someone to call a doctor!"
If I speak louder, I feel my head buzzing.
Xie Wei was so dizzy that she could hardly stand.
I didn't overhear anything and I hit my forehead. Could it be more unlucky? !
Chen Tang smiled all the way back to Chenxiangxuan, but just as he walked outside the door of Chenxiangxuan, a maid ran up behind him and said anxiously, "Crown Princess, it's bad! Princess Qi has fainted!"
