Chapter 53 Habit
All the bruises on her body were treated with medicine. Si'er brought the boiled medicine and Chen Tang drank it. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and fell asleep soon.
However, I did not sleep well. Firstly, I was frightened, and secondly, the place where I was hurt was painful when touched. I turned over several times in my sleep and woke up in pain. To make matters worse, my period came at this time.
Chen Tang felt a cramp-like pain in her lower abdomen. Ginkgo thought that someone had tampered with the medicine she took. Chen Tang said, "It's my period..."
Ginkgo exclaimed, "The girl's period is always on time. It will take three or four days for her to come."
However, Ginkgo also knew that it didn't matter if his period came a few days earlier or later, especially since his daughter had been injured and sick recently, so it was normal for her period to come a few days earlier.
Chen Tang went behind the screen to change clothes, then went back to lie down on the couch. Si Er brought a hand warmer to Chen Tang and said, "It's said outside that the Prince of Jingyang saved the girl in order to repay her for not marrying..."
Chen Tang took the hand warmer and warmed his stomach. Ginkgo asked, "Who spread such rumors?"
Si Er said, "It's not a rumor, it was said by Prince Jingyang himself."
Chen Tang was stunned, "How could Prince Jingyang say this?"
Before she finished her words, there was a knock on the window.
Ginkgo and Qiutong were already used to it, but Si'er was startled and turned to look at the window.
Seeing the window pushed open and a masked man jumping in, Si'er was so scared that he wanted to scream, but Qiu Tong quickly covered his mouth.
Qiu Tong pulled Si'er out and guarded the door at the same time.
Seeing the man coming over, Shen Tang's ears turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "You scared my maid!"
Although Si'er is her man, what if the person in the room today is not Si'er? If it gets out, her reputation will be ruined.
The man said, "You'll get used to it."
What he said was infuriating, and he sat down directly beside the bed and asked, "How do you know he won't say that?"
Chen Tang, "......???"
Chen Tang didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who? What did you say?"
The man looked into Chen Tang's eyes, "Prince Jingyang saved you to repay you for not marrying me..."
Why does she know?
After all, we have lived under the same roof for three years, how could I not know the other person's personality at all?
She refused to get on the bridal sedan, and Xie Guimo was kind enough not to get angry with her. How could he even repay her for not marrying him?
But today she really didn't expect that the person who saved her and Shen Luo was Xie Guimo.
For saving his life, his father would definitely prepare a generous gift and come to thank him. Chen Tang didn't even dare to think about how embarrassed his father would be when he came to visit...
but--
Chen Tang said, "He does owe me a favor by not marrying me."
man,"……"
The man smiled.
He said this to shut those people up and to find a plausible excuse for his suspicious act of saving people, and she actually said the same thing.
Sooner or later, he will be angered to death by this woman.
He wanted to hear why she was so confident.
The man looked at Chen Tang with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Reason."
Is there any need to ask this?
Chen Tang chuckled and asked back, "Are you willing to let a girl you don't like occupy your position as your wife?"
“…I don’t want to.”
That's it. Just as Chen Tang was about to speak, the man smiled and said, "Are you so sure that Prince Jingyang doesn't like you?"
When she died in her previous life, Shen Xian said that Xie Guimo liked her, but Shen Tang didn’t dare to believe it, let alone now.
Moreover, the question made Chen Tang wonder if the man was in such a hurry to go out that he forgot to bring his brain with him. Chen Tang said, "The prince of Jingyang likes me and wants to marry my elder sister. Is he so stupid?"
man,"……"
"Besides, I know myself well. I'm not a banknote. Everyone likes me."
The man didn't know whether he should be happy that Chen Tang had self-awareness or angry.
Chen Tang didn’t want to talk more about Prince Jingyang, so she changed the subject and asked, “What do you want to talk to me about…?”
The man said, "You scared a horse in the street. I came to bring you medicine."
While he was talking, a bottle of ointment appeared in his hand. Chen Tang could tell at a glance that it was tribute medicine. Who is this man? All he had to offer was tribute ointment, and he could also ask the emperor to convey his message for him.
Chen Tang didn't like to guess. She was about to ask, but her stomach suddenly started to ache. Her forehead trembled in pain. She pressed her stomach tightly, and as a result, her arms pulled hard, and the bruises on her back also hurt.
She deserved the consequences for forgetting to take her medicine due to her negligence.
Chen Tang hadn't felt such pain for a long time. She burst into tears. Seeing that she couldn't bear the pain, the man said, "Why is it so painful? I'll call a doctor for you."
He was about to stand up when he was stopped by Chen Tang, "I'm fine..."
The man didn't believe it, "You're still okay even though it hurts so much?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm really fine."
The man frowned under his mask, "I'm still worried. I'll ask Doctor Zhao to come again."
I've already said it's okay, why doesn't this person believe it? Chen Tang couldn't stop him and said anxiously, "I'm really fine, I just had my period..."
After realizing what he had said, Shen Tang wanted to bite off his tongue. Not to mention his face, his whole body was on fire.
As a lady from a wealthy family, it was inappropriate for her to have a man break into her bedroom again and again. She even let him know that she had her period, which made her feel extremely ashamed.
Shen Tang prayed in his heart that the man didn't understand, but unfortunately, the prayer was useless. The man was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but his ears and neck were red, which showed that he knew.
The man regretted that he knew too much. He didn't expect that Chen Tang would rather remain a widow than get on the bridal sedan at Prince Jingyang's mansion. In order to have a good wedding night, he flipped through the picture album prepared for him by the mansion several times. The instructions were very clear, and he couldn't pretend not to understand.
An awkward atmosphere spread in the room.
The man coughed lightly and said, "Have a good rest. I'll come back to see you later."
He stood up and was about to leave, but Chen Tang said, "Wait."
The man turned around and asked, "Don't you want me to leave?"
What did this person say? !
Chen Tang's face became even hotter.
He shouldn't have come. Not to mention that they weren't engaged yet, he shouldn't have come even if they were engaged.
Chen Tang didn't bother to be polite with him and said, "Help me find out what happened to the frightened horse..."
She didn't believe that the frightened horse was just an accident.
The man said, "I asked someone to check. The horse went crazy because it was fed drugs."
really!
Chen Tang's eyes turned cold.
She never made enemies with anyone, so the only people who could be so cruel to her were the Second Wife and Shen Xi.
New grudges and old hatreds, Chen Tang couldn't swallow this anger if she didn't want to find a way to get rid of it.
Chen Tang looked at the man, "Can you do me another favor?"
The man smiled and asked, "How can I help you?"
"Don't let my second uncle take the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
The man thought it was a bit strange that Chen Tang asked him for help. He hadn't heard of any problems in the Ministry of Revenue recently, so the position of assistant minister was not vacant, and the second master had no chance to compete for it.
Shen Tang had a severe stomachache, so the man didn’t ask any more questions.
After climbing over the wall and leaving the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, on the way back to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, he thought that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was not far away, so he took a detour.
When he was passing by the residence of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he happened to see the steward escorting the imperial physician out of the house.
Xie Guimo glanced at Chen Qi.
After walking a little further, Chen Qi caught up and said, "Master, the old lady of the Right Vice Minister's Mansion suddenly fell ill last night. She saw several doctors and they all said that she will not live for many days..."
Hearing this, Xie Guimo tightened the reins and stopped the horse.
He turned his horse's head and looked in the direction of the residence of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
His eyes were dark and unpredictable.
“There really is a vacancy…”
