Chapter 54 Embarrassment
After the man left, Ginkgo couldn't help but said with red eyes, "The girl frightened the horse. It must be the second wife and the eldest girl who did it. We must tell the Marquis."
Chen Tang's eyes flashed coldly, "Without evidence, my father won't believe it."
If my father had had more faith, my mother would not have been so depressed and died with hatred in her heart.
Ginkgo said, "Is that the end of it?"
never mind?
That's impossible.
She would let Shen Xi and the Second Madam also experience what it felt like to have a frightened horse!
Chen Tang leaned against the big pillow, Qiu Tong pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Miss, the Marquis is here."
Shen Tang sat up straighter, and soon Shen Sui came in. Shen Tang said weakly, "Father..."
Chen Sui also went to Prince Su's mansion to celebrate his birthday today, but after the birthday banquet, Chen Sui did not return to the mansion, but went directly to the military camp. He only returned to the mansion after receiving the news that Chen Tang had frightened a horse on the street.
Shen Sui asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Chen Tang shook his head, "It's just some superficial injuries, they will heal in a few days."
After a pause, Chen Tang said, "Did father ask someone to investigate the reason why Ma went crazy?"
If he told Shen Sui directly that it was the Second Madam and Shen Xi who plotted against her, Shen Sui would not believe it. However, if he found out everything bit by bit, he would have no choice but to believe it.
Shen Sui said, "It has been found out that someone drugged him."
Gingko couldn't help but say, "My Lord, you must find out who is harming the girl..."
Ginkgo didn't need to remind him of this. Shen Sui knew that someone was harming Shen Tang, so why wouldn't he investigate further? However, investigating is one thing, but whether it can lead to the second wife is another.
Shen Sui comforted Shen Tang and said, "Father will investigate this matter. It is better not to leave the house until the matter is investigated clearly."
The people who want to harm her are from the Marquis' Mansion. Can she hide from them by not going out?
From what Shen Sui said, Shen Tang knew that he did not suspect it was the second house.
Does my father trust my second uncle so much?
Even if Shen Tang suspected that he was killed by the Second Wife and Shen Xi, his father would not believe the Second Wife's evil ambitions.
Chen Tang was already aching all over, and now that he was angry, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Shen Sui just came to see Shen Tang. Knowing that Shen Tang was fine, he felt relieved. After leaving Qingyi Garden, the old lady sent someone to invite him out.
Chen Sui went to Songhe Hall, and when she saw him, the old lady sighed and said, "Tang'er and Luo'er were saved by Prince Jingyang, so nothing serious happened. We, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, should go to their house to express our gratitude."
The old lady felt embarrassed when she thought about it.
One of the girls from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was afraid of being a widow, so she planned to marry her own sister in her place; the other knew very well that the Prince of Jingyang would not die, but she refused to get on the bridal sedan, so that the bridal sedan of the Jingyang Prince's Mansion was carried back empty, and the wedding banquet was held in vain. However, the Prince of Jingyang repaid evil with kindness, which really made the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion feel ashamed.
What I did already gave people something to talk about. If I didn't come to thank them, people would criticize me even more.
Prince Jingyang not only saved the two girls from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, but also caught Chen Tang in public and helped her heal her dislocated joint...
If it were two people, they would most likely get engaged, but no one in the teahouses or taverns talked about it. If it could be done, it would have been done long ago. The Prince of Jingyang has canceled the marriage proposal from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the bridal sedan from the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion has arrived, and the Second Miss Shen has put on her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, but she would rather tie herself with a hairpin than marry the Prince of Jingyang. How can she get married?
It's impossible, why are we still discussing it?
Besides, a doctor is considered a bone setter. If a doctor sets a girl's bones, he has to marry her. How many wives does that doctor have to marry?
The old lady did not dare to hope that Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion and Jingyang Prince's Mansion would marry again. She was afraid that this matter would affect Chen Tang's half-determined marriage...
He didn't even know who asked to marry Chen Tang. If someone didn't come to propose marriage, Chen Sui couldn't ask the emperor.
Thinking of going to Prince Jingyang's mansion to express his gratitude, Shen Sui's head ached. It was embarrassing enough when Prince Jingyang broke off the engagement last time, but he didn't expect there would be an even more embarrassing time. He hoped that there would be no more in the future.
Shen Sui said, “After the morning court tomorrow, I will go to the Jingyang Palace to express my gratitude.”
After discussing what thank-you gifts to prepare, Shen Sui left.
…
A light sleep all night.
I didn't sleep well and felt a little dizzy when I woke up.
Chen Tang propped herself up on the bed and sat up. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong came in with a copper basin. Seeing that Chen Tang had woken up, Ginkgo came over to help Chen Tang get up. She grinned and said, "Miss, something happened in the Buddhist temple last night."
Chen Tang instantly perked up, "What happened in the Buddhist temple?"
Ginkgo said, "The second wife and the eldest daughter wanted to finish copying the family rules and leave the temple as soon as possible. They stayed up all night last night to copy the family rules. As a result, I don't know what happened. The eldest daughter knocked over the candlestick, and the lamp oil burned all the more than 500 copies of the family rules, and almost set the temple on fire..."
If Ginkgo hadn't been afraid of being accused of gloating, he would have laughed countless times.
The old lady said that she would not allow the release until 600 articles of family rules were copied. Now that the family rules have been burned, they are no longer valid.
Chen Tang's depressed mood improved a lot, but why could Chen Xi be so careless? Chen Tang looked out the window, wondering if Chen Shan was venting her anger.
Chen Tang glanced out the window, and Ginkgo became concerned. After Chen Tang finished breakfast, Ginkgo whispered, "I asked, and it was Chen Shan who was venting his anger on the young lady..."
Chen Tang was grateful that someone helped her vent her anger, and she couldn't let others help her for nothing.
After breakfast, Chen Tang thanked Chen Shan and gave him ten taels of silver. Chen Shan said, "This is what I should do."
Chen Tang said, "Although your master asked you to protect me, he certainly wouldn't give such detailed instructions."
Indeed, this was Chen Shan's own idea. He was almost stiff from staying on the tree, so he went to the Buddhist temple to stretch his muscles. He had nothing to do anyway.
Shen Tang handed him the silver.
This time Chen Shan accepted it, "Thank you very much for the reward, Princess."
Chen Tang, "..."
It is true that like master, like servant.
The master calls her father-in-law, and the subordinates call her the Crown Prince's Consort.
He didn't care at all whether she was embarrassed or not.
I should have known not to thank him.
But does this mean that Chen Shan has revealed that his master is a prince?
It’s not surprising that the man asked the emperor to convey his message.
…
Chen Tang's injuries were only superficial, and with the ointment the man gave him as a tribute, he was almost healed after three days of rest.
That day, after washing up, Chen Tang sat down to eat breakfast. He took a bun and frowned after taking a bite. The salty taste made his eyebrows explode, so he quickly spit it out.
Gingko took a bite and said, "Why is it so salty? I'll go ask."
Gingko took the buns out and quickly came back to tell Chen Tang, "The kitchen has been a bit messy these past two days, and the vegetables requested by each courtyard have been delivered to the wrong people..."
When did a big kitchen make such a low-level mistake?
Chen Tang asked, "Is it just the big kitchen that's messy?"
Ginkgo said, "Something seems to have happened in the embroidery room. I heard from Si'er that almost all the housekeepers in various places went to see the old lady yesterday."
Chen Tang smiled. The Second Wife was tired of copying the family rules in the Buddhist hall and was making trouble to force the old lady to let her out.
The old lady is already old, and the second wife has been the housekeeper for more than ten years. Even if the old lady wanted to take over, she is unable to do so.
Since they wanted to leave the temple so much, she didn't mind helping them.
After breakfast, Chen Tang took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall.
On the way, Ginkgo advised, "The bruises on your body haven't healed completely yet, why are you in such a hurry to pay your respects to the old lady? Go a few days later, the old lady won't blame you."
Chen Tang said sadly, "Lately, bad things have happened one after another. I feel uneasy. I want to go to the Jokhang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."
Ginkgo said, "But the young lady is the one who is frightened of the horse. The Marquis specifically told you not to go out if you can. The old lady will not let you go."
Chen Tang said, "I have to go even if I'm not allowed to. My mother is gone and my father is busy. If I don't do these things, who else can I count on? It's okay if something happens to me, but I'm afraid that this bad luck will bring disaster to my father and grandmother. I'll go there to seek peace of mind. I won't take the carriage."
The master and servant walked away while talking. A green figure walked out from behind a rockery and walked hurriedly towards the Buddhist temple.
