Chapter 36: Cold
When Chen Tang returns home, Chen Xi will definitely accompany him.
In the carriage, Chen Xian looked at Chen Tang and gritted her teeth and said, "My dear sister, how much of your abilities have you hidden from me?!"
Chen Tang wrapped himself in a cloak and glanced at her, "You and I go in and out together, when have I ever hidden anything from you?"
She was even more surprised because they went in and out together.
Although he had never practiced sword dancing before, he danced so well that he won the prize at the Spring Banquet in Shouwang Mansion.
Now I can even swim.
Thinking of the way Miss Li looked at her, Shen Xian felt uneasy. She asked, "When did you learn how to swim?"
This question was asked in a criminal-like tone, and Shen Tang was very unhappy.
She leaned against the carriage and said, "I want to say that I just learned it in the lake. Do you believe me?"
Shen Xi said coldly, "I'm so easy to deceive!"
If you don’t believe it, forget it.
She didn’t even tell her father about her rebirth after death, so how could she tell Shen Xi?
No matter how curious she was, she had to suppress it. She knew very well how many people she and her daughter had stuffed into her Qingyi Garden. Her every word and action was under their eyes. No matter how hard they tried, they would not know that she learned how to swim in the Jingyang Palace.
Chen Tang remained silent, and Chen Xi was frantic, but she had no idea what to do.
Chen Tang felt that she had caught a cold in the carriage and kept sneezing and having a runny nose. As soon as she returned home, the old lady heard that she was "accidentally" pushed into the water by the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
Chen Tang did not go back to Qingyi Garden directly, but went to Songhe Hall first.
Before she even entered the house, the sound of her sneezing spread. The old lady was distressed and said, "How could you fall into the water when you were leaving the house for no reason? Have you called a doctor?"
The maid hurriedly replied, "Manager Li has sent someone to call for a doctor."
The old lady said to Shen Tang, "Go back quickly. If you fall into the water in this weather, you will definitely catch a cold and suffer."
Ginkgo didn't know why her daughter was so stubborn. She obviously didn't need to come to Songhe Hall, but she insisted on making this trip. When the old lady gave the order, she quickly helped Chen Tang away.
After Chen Tang left, the second wife asked Chen Xian, "What happened?"
Chen Xian bit her lip and said, "I don't know either. We were on the boat when we saw Prince Duan and his boat approaching. I don't know why Miss Li rushed forward and pushed Second Sister off the boat. In her panic, Second Sister dragged Miss Li off as well..."
After a pause, Shen Xian said, "It was my cousin who rescued Miss Li."
The second wife's brows were twisted into knots at first, then relaxed.
It was a great fortune for his nephew, who was of no use in his mother's family, to marry the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
But how could Chen Tang swim?
The second wife asked, "When did the second young lady learn how to swim?"
Shen Xian shook her head, "I don't know either."
The old lady also found it strange. Normally, ladies from wealthy families would not learn to swim. They did not have the conditions. Even young masters from aristocratic families did not have many who could swim. Where did Tang'er learn it?
The old lady said, "It's a good thing to be able to swim."
If she hadn't been swimming, she would have most likely been rescued by Young Master Wang. Before they even got married, there were already several concubines in her room, and she was sleeping with Liu Mianhua. Not to mention that Chen Tang was the legitimate daughter of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, even if she was a concubine's daughter, the old lady would not agree to marry her to Young Master Wang. Marrying such a man, the life of the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion would be ruined.
When the old lady heard that it was not only Master Wang who went into the water to save people, but also Prince Jingyang, her hand that was fiddling with her Buddhist beads froze, "Prince Jingyang also went into the water to save people?"
Mother Wang served tea to the old lady and said with a smile, "That's right. Young Master Wang jumped into the water right after him. But our second daughter was so capable that she didn't give Prince Jingyang a chance to save him."
Old lady, "..."
The old lady raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, really not knowing what to say.
Her granddaughter had two good opportunities to become the Crown Prince of Jingyang's wife, but they just slipped away.
For some reason, the old lady always felt that there would be a third time.
…
Shen Tang caught a cold.
Even though I drank ginger soup to drive away the cold in time, and the doctor took my pulse and prescribed medicine, it still didn't prevent the disease. My head was dizzy, my nose was blocked, and even my voice changed.
Chen Tang leaned on the big pillow, his head so heavy that it didn't seem like his own. Yin Xing came in with medicine and said, "Miss, the eldest lady of the Yongning Earl's Mansion also caught a cold. I heard she has a high fever..."
She could swim but she got so sick. Miss Li almost drowned. She was frightened enough and was rescued by Young Master Wang. Her reputation was damaged. It would be strange if she was not seriously ill.
However, Chen Tang would not feel sorry for her. The Yongning Marquis's Mansion planned to find a good girl from another family to bring good luck to her sick son, but was angry and humiliated when the plan failed. Now their own daughter has to marry a man of bad character. I wonder if the Yongning Marquis's Mansion can empathize with them. More importantly, this time Miss Li fell into the water, it was her own fault and she could not blame others.
Not only Chen Tang and Miss Li were sick, Young Master Wang also caught a cold. Ginkgo was a little curious, "I wonder if Prince Jingyang caught a cold..."
"He won't get cold."
Chen Tang blurted out without even thinking.
Ginkgo asked, "How did you know that, young lady?"
How did she know?
We've lived under the same roof for three years, how could she not know?
Could it be possible that someone who takes cold showers in the middle of winter would catch a cold just by soaking in the lake?
Of course, this cannot be said. Chen Tang said, "People who practice martial arts are not so easy to catch cold."
Ginkgo said, "Young Master Wang also knows martial arts."
Chen Tang, "..."
This maid has even learned to refute her.
Shen Tang glared at Gingko.
Ginkgo said, "I understand. Young Master Wang is not good at martial arts."
Gingko handed the medicine to Chen Tang, who drank it despite the bitterness, then rinsed his mouth and stuffed candied fruit into his mouth.
Chen Tang didn't know how effective this medicine was in treating typhoid fever, but it was definitely effective in treating insomnia. Not long after drinking it, he fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept. When Chen Tang opened his eyes, he saw a person sitting beside the bed. Through his sleepy eyes, he saw a silver mask.
A shock came over him, and Chen Tang was startled awake.
Why is he here again?
Chen Tang suspected that sooner or later he would be scared to death by him.
There were only two of them in the room. Ginkgo was not there. He must have gone out to guard the door.
Shen Tang wanted to speak, but he started coughing first.
The man said distressedly, "How could you get so seriously ill if you just fell into the water?"
Chen Tang coughed for a while, almost crying, "Do you know that the lake water is very cold this day?"
The man said, "Then why don't you fall into the lake?"
Did she want to drop it?
Can this bastard even speak? !
Chen Tang secretly poked him with his eyes.
The man asked, "How can you swim?"
I always feel that this statement is made with gritted teeth.
Chen Tang was surprised to hear this, "Is it bad that I can swim?"
"good."
"very good!"
Sure enough, it was just gnashing of teeth.
Shen Tang looked at him suspiciously.
The man asked, "Who taught you that?"
Shen Tang would definitely not tell him that it was Prince Jingyang who taught her.
In her previous life, she was "accidentally" pushed into the water by Princess Chun'an and almost drowned. It was Xie Guimo who arrived in time to save her. Later, he asked her to learn how to swim, saying that she was easy to be hated by others and he could not always arrive in time to save her. She was forced to learn it. However, the facts proved that he was right. She was indeed easy to be hated by others, and it was always good to have more skills.
Seeing the man looking at him, Chen Tang always felt that his eyes were inexplicably familiar. Chen Tang said, "Maybe he was born with this ability."
