Chapter 58 Critical Hit
Jiang Li and Jiang Ning saw Chen Tang off.
Chen Tang returned to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. The sky was filled with brilliant sunset glow and weary birds were returning to their nests.
She got off the carriage and stepped into the mansion. A maid came over and said, "The second young lady has finally returned home. The old lady asked you to go to Songhe Hall to meet her."
Gingxing said worriedly, "The young lady left the house before her injury healed. The old lady must be very angry..."
She would definitely be angry, especially since she was going to the Jiang family, but since she dared to go, she was not afraid of the old lady being angry.
Chen Tang went to Songhe Hall and walked around the screen to see the old lady with an angry look on her face. The old lady put down the teacup in her hand heavily, "Do we have to go to the Jiang family today?"
Chen Tang stepped forward, "Grandma, calm down. There are some things I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't believe them..."
The old lady frowned.
Chen Tang looked around, and Mother Wang waved her hand to send all the maids and servants serving in the room out.
After everyone was out, Chen Tang said, "I had hurt myself before, but the injury was not healed and rushed to the Jiang family. He was told by my mother in her dream to stop the Jiang family from giving my cousin to Yongning Body Mansion. Yongning Body was going to cheer for the prince under the guise of proposing my cousin to the third young master. The eldest girl of Yongning Body pushed me into the water not because of accident, but because she was annoyed that I was damaging the plot of Yongning Body Mansion. The third young master of Yongning Body beat my cousin because of this."
"My cousin went to the hot spring pavilion to look for my eldest brother. My mother told me in a dream that my eldest brother was in Kyoto. I told my father about this on the day of my marriage. I don't know whether my father believed it or sent someone to Kyoto to look for my eldest brother. I was anxious to find my eldest brother, so I told my grandfather and uncle about this..."
"My second aunt and my eldest sister went to the Jokhang Temple today on impulse, but something happened there. It shows that someone is secretly watching our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. I was thinking about this when I received the news that my cousin was in trouble. I immediately decided to use myself as bait. My father's people are secretly protecting me, so I will be fine. It's a pity that I came and went safely, and no one plotted against me."
The old lady knew nothing about the few things Shen Tang mentioned, and she was very surprised.
After hearing the end, the old lady held her forehead and said, "Isn't it good to come and go safely? Do you still want others to plot against you?"
Chen Tang lowered his eyes and said, "If I don't find the person out, it will be like a thorn in my throat."
The old lady's hands trembled as she held the Buddhist beads. After a long while, she said, "Did your mother really tell you in a dream that your eldest brother is in Kyoto?"
Shen Tang nodded heavily, “If grandma doesn’t believe it, you can ask father.”
"Because the Yongning Marquis's House proposed marriage, my grandfather and uncle believed in my mother's dream. These days, they wanted to turn the capital upside down to find my eldest brother. However, my cousin's spring exam is coming up soon. I was afraid that looking for my eldest brother would delay his exam, so I went to the Jiang family because I was worried..."
The old lady was angry at Chen Tang for being willful and torturing herself before her injury had healed. Chen Tang was fine, and Jiang Mingyuan was beaten because he went to the Hot Spring Pavilion to find Chen Yan, so the old lady didn't say anything.
The old lady said, "Before you do anything next time, tell grandma first, so she won't worry."
Shen Tang nodded repeatedly.
The old lady said, "Go back and rest."
Chen Tang was indeed very tired, so he stood up and left.
Watching Chen Tang leave, the old lady slowly fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, hoping in her heart that Chen Yan was in Kyoto just as Jiang had told her in her dream, and she could see her grandson who had been missing for more than ten years again.
After leaving Songhe Hall, Chen Tang went straight back to Qingyi Garden. When he entered the courtyard, he saw Qiu Tong standing on the corridor. Seeing her, he hurriedly said, "The girl is finally back..."
The voice was urgent, and he glanced back at the closed door.
It was obvious that someone was waiting for her in the room.
Chen Tang pushed the door open and walked into the room. After taking two steps, he saw the man sitting there drinking tea through the beaded curtain.
The casual way he treated her boudoir as his own home really scared Chen Tang to death.
Isn’t he worried at all that Qiu Tong won’t be able to guard the door and someone will break in and see him? !
The man was sitting there drinking tea when he felt a pair of fiery eyes falling on him.
This woman.
She was restless despite the injuries on her body, and he wasn't angry yet, but she made him angry first.
Chen Tang opened the beaded curtain and entered the room. The man glanced at her, "Do you care so much about the Second Young Master Jiang?"
She said this as if she was concerned about an unrelated outsider. Chen Tang felt powerless, "That's my cousin."
"Not even my cousin!"
The vinegar smell was so strong that Shen Tang felt his teeth sour and it was a bit strange.
Chen Tang looked at the man and said, "That day when a horse was startled on the street, Prince Jingyang saved me, hugged me, and even set my bones. I didn't see you get angry at all. Why don't you allow me to go see my cousin?"
man,"……"
Can this be the same?
He was the one who saved her and set her bones. How could he be angry with himself?
Seeing Chen Tang looking at him doubtfully, the man said, “Don’t mention that the person who saved you was the Prince of Jingyang. Even if it was someone else, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Chen Tang only felt a numbness in her heart that instantly spread throughout her body. This feeling was very unfamiliar and she had never experienced it in her two lifetimes.
Chen Tang looked at the man, "Why are you so nice to me?"
As a man who could ask the Emperor to help him pass on his message, she was sure that she had nothing worthy of his plot.
The man stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Tang into his arms. Shen Tang's face flushed and he struggled hard, "You, you let me go!"
The man asked, "Do you really think I'm good to you?"
"certainly."
"Then why don't you let me come and propose marriage?" the man asked.
“…”
This man didn't come to propose marriage because she didn't allow him to, so he went to the emperor?
Is he so obedient?
Chen Tang didn't believe it. Besides, she was not a three-year-old child. "You asked the emperor to convey your message. What's the difference between that and getting engaged?"
No, there is still a difference. It is even more cruel than engagement.
The marriage has not been decided yet, and her father and grandmother dare not promise her to anyone else.
The man laughed, his voice full of joy, "Are you willing to marry me?"
Chen Tang wanted to cover his mouth. This room was not soundproof at all. Chen Tang said unhappily, "Do I still have a choice?"
The man raised an eyebrow, "Who would you marry if you didn't know me?"
Chen Tang said without even thinking, "As long as you are not the Prince of Jingyang."
man,"……"
In the tree outside the window, both Chen Qi and Chen Shan felt the critical blow suffered by their grandfather.
Too cruel.
It's simply killing people without spilling any blood.
The man stiffened, "Why can't the Prince of Jingyang do it?"
Chen Tang would definitely not tell the man the reason why she couldn't marry the Prince of Jingyang. She had no choice but to use her mother as an excuse, "My mother won't let me marry."
No wonder everyone avoids him.
The man's eyes were dim and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
Chen Tang was afraid that he would ask more questions, so he changed the subject and said, "Can you do me a favor again?"
The man's breath hitched, "What can I do for you?"
Chen Tang didn't notice anything wrong with him, and said to himself, "Let your people help me beat up the third young master of Yongning Marquis's Mansion."
It was Chen Tang himself who was going to be bullied, and Chen Tang might be able to tolerate it a little, but if the Yongning Marquis's Mansion took out their anger on the Jiang family, Chen Tang would never agree.
Shen Tang had something to ask for, if it were any other time, the man would definitely tease her, but at this moment, she really wasn't in the mood so she just agreed.
After leaving Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, the man rode on the horse, looking at the high walls of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, unable to take his eyes off for a long time.
Chen Qi even wanted to persuade his grandfather to find another girl he liked.
Even if a living person disagrees, there is always a way to make her agree. But the wife of Marquis Pingyuan has been dead for more than ten years. How can you please a dead person?
Burn paper?
Chen Qi, "..."
