Chapter 367 Bamboo House
But even if we take precautions, it will be enough for the poor people to bear, and there will be earthquakes in the spring...
Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt a little depressed.
Humans are too insignificant in the face of natural disasters.
Xie Guimo knew that Chen Tang was kind, so he used words to divert her attention, and soon the carriage returned to Jingyang Palace.
Just as he reached the entrance of Chenxiangxuan Courtyard, he heard a shout from behind, "Big Brother..."
It was Xie Guili, the fourth young master of the third house.
He trotted over and said, "Brother is back from accompanying sister-in-law."
Xie Guimo asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Guili said, "Today is Second Brother's birthday. We brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, and Big Brother can't be absent."
Among the young masters in the mansion, Xie Guiyin has a good relationship with them, but Xie Guimo has a much weaker relationship with them.
But it was Xie Guiyin’s birthday, and all the young masters in the mansion were there, so Xie Guimo couldn’t refuse.
Although he and Xie Guiyin had a weak relationship, they were still brothers after all and he couldn't not give him any face.
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Tang, "I can only eat with you in the evening."
Xie Guili said, "Sister-in-law can also go together."
Chen Tang smiled and said, “You brothers are drinking and chatting, I won’t go.”
Xie Guili almost pulled Xie Guimo away.
Chen Tang returned to his room and drank a cup of tea. The maid brought the food and Chen Tang sat down to eat.
The small kitchen probably didn't know that today was Xie Guiyin's birthday, so they prepared Xie Guimo's meal, seven dishes and one soup. Chen Tang was afraid that the child would grow too big, so he consciously controlled his eating and ate half a plate of vegetables when he came to the table. Ginkgo saw this and said, "Why is the Crown Prince's Concubine eating so many vegetables? Eat more meat. Only by eating meat can the little Crown Prince and the little Princess grow up well."
Chen Tang said, "The child is too big to give birth to."
Ginkgo didn't understand this. When she thought about the difficulty of giving birth, she was afraid of dystocia, so she quickly said, "Then eat less."
I ate the vegetables until I was half full, then had the meat and reduced my rice by two mouthfuls. After lunch, I took a few laps in the yard.
In the previous life, the child could not be saved, but the pain of miscarriage was enough for Shen Tang to endure. Shen Tang really didn't dare to imagine how painful it would be to give birth to a full-term child, but the child was already in her belly, so she had to bite the bullet and give birth.
After walking for a while, Chen Tang felt a little tired and fell asleep.
After sleeping for half an hour, Ginkgo woke her up, fearing that Chen Tang had slept too long during the day and would not be able to sleep at night. Although such things rarely happened, it was not advisable to sleep too long.
Chen Tang got out of bed and asked, "Has the prince come back?"
"not yet."
Chen Tang said, "Not yet?"
Does it take so long just to have a meal?
Gingko also felt that it had been a while. "How about I send someone to ask?"
Gingko called Si'er in and said, "Go and see if the prince is drunk."
Si'er was at a loss, "Where can we go?"
Ginkgo said, "Of course we're going to the Second Young Master's yard."
Si Er replied, "The prince is not with the second young master."
Ginkgo said, "Ah!", "Not here?"
Si Er nodded, "The prince stayed at the second young master's place for a while, and then the prince sent someone to call the prince away. I don't know where he went."
She said the meal wouldn't take that long, and it turned out that she was called away by the prince.
Normally, if the prince wants to see Xie Guimo for something, Xie Guimo may not go. But if he wants to meet the prince and have dinner with Xie Guiyin and others, Xie Guimo will definitely choose to meet the prince.
Chen Tang felt relieved. Fortunately, he had just heard that Xie Guimo had not returned yet. He was still a little uneasy, but he was worrying too much.
Qiu Tong helped Chen Tang put on her clothes and combed her hair which was messed up due to sleeping.
Just as she finished combing her hair, Si'er came running in. The little maid, who was usually very skillful, opened her mouth twice but couldn't utter a word.
Ginkgo saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Er swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Jiang Biao and the Third Young Master, they..."
Si Er couldn't find the words to describe what happened, and was in a hurry to report. With a red face, he said bluntly, "They slept together."
Chen Tang, "..."
This is really rough.
The speaker blushes, and the listeners also blush.
Chen Tang asked, "How could this happen?"
Si Er said, "It seems that Miss Jiang Biao couldn't hold her liquor and drank two glasses of wine. The maid helped her to leave. When she reached the bamboo house in the garden, she couldn't carry her any more, so she went in to rest for a while, and then went to find someone to help. I don't know how the Third Young Master went to the bamboo house, and then..."
"Unfortunately, the maid was unfamiliar with the palace and got lost. By the time she went to look for someone, the matter was already settled."
It's really a mess.
The second young master's fiancée had physical contact with the third young master. Wouldn't it be awkward for them to live under the same roof in the future?
But how could this happen?
Although Chen Tang had no good feelings towards the second branch of the Jingyang Palace, the third young master Xie Guian was not the kind of person who would mess around in the bamboo house in the garden, so there was some hidden agenda behind this.
Si Er said, "I will go and take another look."
"Go ahead."
This maid is an expert at finding out gossips, and she probably knows more than Chen Tang would if he went there himself.
It’s better not to join in such a lively occasion.
Chen Tang really wanted to go, but she held back. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that today's birthday celebration was a setup.
Concubine Jiang was willing to sacrifice her own son's marriage to save her niece's life, but Xie Guiyin might not agree. By pushing Jiang Hui'er to other young masters in the palace, he could save Jiang Hui'er's life without sacrificing himself, and everyone was happy.
Although there is no evidence, it is obvious that the Second Master is the murderer of Jiang Huier's father. This makes the matter interesting.
Before, the princess refused to let Jiang Huier live in the palace because she had no status. But now that Jiang Huier and Xie Guian have had physical contact, the marriage can no longer be delayed and will be held soon.
Although both are daughters-in-law of the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion, it is better for Jiang Huier to marry the third young master than for Xie Guiyin.
If she really marries Xie Guiyin, she will have to wait until the prince and princess are a hundred years old before she can get a share of the palace. The daughter-in-law of the second wife will be divided with the second wife.
The garden was in a mess.
Xie Guiyin was so happy on his birthday that he got drunk.
Xie Guili also lay on the table.
Knowing that Xie Gui'an and Jiang Hui'er were in trouble, the Second Wife and Concubine Jiang rushed over and saw messy clothes on the floor, bloodshot on the bed, and Jiang Hui'er huddled in a corner crying with a pale face.
The second wife felt like the sky was falling.
Even though the Jiang family was not confiscated and exiled, the second wife felt that Jiang Huier was not worthy of her son. What's more, the Jiang family was gone. How could a girl like this be worthy of marrying her son?
But Jiang Huier is Concubine Jiang's niece, and given the relationship between the prince and the Jiang family, the prince will definitely force her son to make Jiang Huier his principal wife.
Besides, it's not a good reputation for a cousin to touch his cousin's fiancée.
The second wife felt that her son was being plotted against, but she had no evidence, so she could only hold back her anger and investigate further, "What's going on? Wasn't he drinking at the second young master's place? Why did he come to the bamboo house?!"
