Chapter 56 Fight
Although the Second Wife and Shen Xian were not seriously injured, they vomited a lot. They did not return to the mansion directly, but went to the nearest farm to the Marquis's Mansion. Shen Xian would not let anyone in the Marquis's Mansion see how miserable she was. She would not return to the Marquis's Mansion until she was washed clean inside and out.
After lunch, Chen Tang had nothing to do, so he strolled to Songhe Hall again.
The old lady was frowning, and Chen Tang walked in and said, "Why did the horse get scared? Didn't Second Aunt and Eldest Sister bring more people with them when they left the house to guard against it?"
The old lady didn't say anything. Mother Wang said, "Manager Li sent a lot of people to follow. From the time they left the house until the accident happened, no one approached the carriage. In the end, they were caught off guard and something happened..."
It was Chen Shan who took action. How could the servants in the mansion who only knew some mediocre kung fu be able to defend against him?
Chen Tang's porcelain-white face was full of worry, "It seems that my guess is correct. Those people are not only targeting me, but our entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."
The Second Wife and Shen Xi came in and just heard what Chen Tang said. They were so angry that their teeth were itching.
If Shen Tang had not been living under their noses and had no ability to plot against them, the Second Madam would have suspected that Shen Tang was taking revenge on them for scaring the horse. But even if it wasn't the case, they would have held it against Shen Tang. If the maid had not overheard that she was going to the Jokhang Temple to pray, the Second Madam would not have thought of leaving the temple under the pretext of praying and not going to the Jokhang Temple. She would not have been plotted against and almost fell to her death.
The fear of frightening a horse still makes my spine chill and my whole body go cold when I think of it.
Chen Xian cried out of grievance. She was already so thin that the old lady felt sorry for her. The old lady felt even more distressed when she cried. "Who did our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion offend?"
The second wife said, "I drew a fortune stick at the Jokhang Temple today, and it said that someone in the mansion had leaked the secret, which might bring disaster to the mansion..."
No one in this mansion can reveal the secret, except... Jiang who gave Chen Tang a dream.
The second wife wanted to push all the misfortunes that had happened to the Marquis' Mansion onto Jiang's head, so that she wouldn't have peace even after her death.
Chen Tang said coldly, "If it weren't for the tampered fortune stick in the Jokhang Temple, my eldest sister would have been the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang Prince. Didn't Second Aunt hate the fortune stick in the Jokhang Temple? How dare she still ask for a fortune stick?"
The second wife's face froze, "Don't be afraid of choking."
"Aunt, aren't you worried that the signature will be tampered with this time?" Chen Tang looked aggressive.
Chen Tang looked at the old lady and said, "This fortune-telling is vicious. Someone tampered with my carriage and almost killed me, but they said that someone in the Marquis' Mansion leaked the secret, which led to these disasters. This is clearly to cause internal strife in our Marquis' Mansion. If we really believe it, we don't even need outsiders to do anything, we will be suspicious of each other."
Chen Xian said, "It's better to believe these things..."
Chen Tang said, "I believe it, then what? The second, third, and fourth houses are afraid of being implicated and move out of the Marquis's mansion to avoid disaster, or should we let the first house move out?"
It is impossible to move the eldest son's house. If we move it, it will become a joke.
But the second, third and fourth roommates are unwilling to move, especially the second roommate, who will be the first to stand up and object.
Chen Xi said, "This is not without a solution. The fortune teller at the Jokhang Temple said that if the closest person to the person who leaked the secrets of heaven copies Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, the problem can be resolved."
She asked them to copy 600 articles of family rules, and they asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures 1,000 times. They were really vindictive.
Chen Tang said, "Eldest sister, are you willing to copy the Buddhist scriptures a thousand times to help the Marquis's mansion resolve the disaster?"
Chen Xi was stunned. Why was she the one copying? She asked, "Why was I the one copying the Buddhist scriptures?"
Chen Tang said, "I was the one who leaked the secret. You and I are the closest people in this world. If it wasn't you who copied it, then who copied it?"
Chen Xi gritted her teeth and said, "The one who leaked the secret was my mother!"
Chen Tang frowned, "This is the first time I've heard that a deceased person can reveal the secrets of heaven. If you want to confirm that it's my mother, then my father must copy the thousand Buddhist scriptures."
Asking Chen Sui to copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times would be enough unless Chen Xi and the Second Wife didn't want to live anymore.
Shen Xi said angrily, “The person closest to my mother is obviously you!”
After all, it was all for her. Chen Tang was glad that they had twins in one pregnancy, so she could always involve her, Chen Xian, in everything she did.
"You and I are both mother's children, so we are naturally mother's closest people. You must believe in the divinations in the Jokhang Temple. I will copy them, but you, the eldest sister, must copy them with me. We should copy them a thousand times each. Otherwise, if it refers to the two of us, I alone will not be able to avert the disaster that will befall the Marquis' Mansion..."
To oppose it was to not take the safety of the Marquis' Mansion seriously. It would be fine if nothing happened to the Marquis' Mansion, but if something happened one day, it couldn't be entirely blamed on her. So she might as well drag her Shen Xian into it. She wanted to see if Shen Xian was willing to copy the Buddhist scriptures a thousand times.
Chen Xian didn't expect Chen Tang to hold on to her so tightly. It was the Second Wife who instigated this matter, so she couldn't refute it even if she wanted to.
Her hands were cramped after copying three hundred family rules. It would be better to kill her directly if she was asked to copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times!
The Second Lady had never thought that she couldn't even ask Chen Tang to copy a Buddhist scripture. Her eyes were cold, but she had to agree with Chen Tang's words, "Second Lady is right. What if the fortune was calculated by someone with ulterior motives, and the Marquis' Mansion really believed it, wouldn't it be playing into those people's hands? I'll have someone go to the Jokhang Temple to investigate..."
The old lady sat there, not saying a word from beginning to end, but her face became increasingly cold.
The old lady knew what was going on with this fortune, but she didn't expect Chen Tang to be so smart. Not only did he not let them lead him by the nose, but he also made the second wife change her mind on her own initiative with just a few words.
Manager Li brought a doctor in to check the pulses of Chen Xi and the Second Madam. Both of them had superficial injuries and had already been treated with medicine in the courtyard. The doctor wrote a prescription for each of them to calm their nerves, gave them a few instructions, and then left with the medicine box.
Chen Xian and the Second Wife were quite frightened. They didn't gain any advantage and felt bored staying there, so they went back to their respective courtyards. Chen Tang also returned to Qingyi Garden.
Just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, a little maid in a light yellow dress came running behind her and called out, "Second Miss..."
Chen Tang stopped and turned around, and saw the little maid running over. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. She panted and said, "Second Miss, your cousin, the second young master of the Jiang family and the third young master of the Yongning Earl's Mansion, are fighting in the Hot Spring Pavilion..."
It’s the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion again!
Instead of letting the Jiang family marry their daughter to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to bring good luck, they were bitten. After all, it is a Marquis's Mansion, but they are like a maggot attached to their bones, which is extremely disgusting.
Chen Tang was not only angry, but also worried. His second cousin was not good at martial arts and was no match for the third young master of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Moreover, the Spring Examination was approaching, and if he was beaten, it would definitely affect the Spring Examination.
The Hot Spring Pavilion is a place in Kyoto that is used for hot springs. It is very popular among the children of aristocratic families. However, the three cousins of the Jiang family love reading the most. They spend all their money on buying books and never go to the Hot Spring Pavilion. Now, not only do they go there, but they also fight with others...
Thinking about how she had told the Jiang family that her eldest brother was in Kyoto, there was no need to ask, and her second cousin must have gone to the Hot Spring Pavilion to help her find her eldest brother.
The little maid only knew that this happened, and didn't know how seriously the second young master Jiang Mingyuan was injured. Chen Tang was worried and wanted to go to the Jiang family to check, so she turned and left.
Chen Tang wanted to go to the Jiang family, but Manager Li disagreed, "The person who caused the second young lady to scare the horse has not been found yet. The second wife and the eldest young lady went out today and something happened. The second young lady should not go to the Jiang family for the time being..."
Chen Tang said, "My father said that I can go to the Jiang family anytime I want, without anyone's permission. Steward Li just needs to prepare a carriage for me."
