Chapter 6 Consultation
Shen Tang's voice was gentle, but his eyes were firm.
Chen Sui knew that his daughter not only looked like Jiang, but also inherited her temperament. She was usually generous and open-minded, and would not take any loss or grievance to heart. But once she showed such a determined look, it meant that no one could stop her, even at the cost of her life.
It was this stubborn character that cost Jiang her life.
Now my daughter is like this again...
Shen Sui said, "Father doesn't have anything that needs your help to share his worries."
Chen Tang said, "My daughter doesn't want to have any rift with my elder sister because of this matter. We sisters can discuss it, and my father doesn't have to be caught in the middle."
She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. Even the old lady showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The old lady saw everything that Shen Xian did. She was surprised that Shen Tang did not complain to Shen Sui. Now she had to solve the matter herself and not let Shen Sui make things difficult between her two daughters.
Such thoughtfulness made Shen Xi look selfish and cold, which disappointed the old lady.
Shen Sui frowned. He didn't think there would be a way to have the best of both worlds. The old lady said, "Let the sisters discuss it themselves."
Chen Tang asked for it himself, and the old lady also spoke on his behalf, so Chen Sui had no choice but to agree.
Chen Tang bowed and withdrew.
Everyone thought she went to discuss with Chen Xiang, but Chen Tang did not go, but returned to Qingyi Garden.
But as soon as she returned, Chen Xi sent her maid to deliver the wedding dress.
The maid didn't dare to deliver it in person. She just handed it to the maid in charge of cleaning the yard and left quickly.
When the maid brought in the wedding dress, Ginkgo was so angry that she kept scolding, "The maid of the eldest lady stuffed it into your hand, and you just accepted it?!"
The little maid felt very aggrieved after being scolded.
She knew that the wedding dress was a hot potato and she couldn't accept it, but the eldest girl's maid Danzhu forced it on her. If she didn't take it, the wedding dress would fall to the ground. She had no choice but to take it.
Ginkgo knew that the one who bullied others was the older girl, but she just couldn't get angry.
The eldest girl plotted against the younger girl, but the younger girl did not complain to the Marquis, and even discussed it with her, giving the eldest girl enough face. As a result, the eldest girl directly sent the wedding dress. Is this a discussion? It is obvious that he has already decided to marry the girl!
Ginkgo was so angry that she said, "I will send the wedding dress back to the eldest lady."
She took the wedding dress and was about to go out.
Chen Tang said, "Put it down."
Ginkgo's steps froze, and she turned back in disbelief, only to see Chen Tang serving tea. Ginkgo didn't know whether the older girl was more annoying or her own girl was more annoying, "Girl!"
Chen Tang said, "Why go on a wasted trip when you know you can't send it back?"
It has to be sent back even if it is not possible, Ginkgo said, "If it is not sent back, does it mean that the girl will really have to wear a wedding dress to go to the Jingyang Prince to get married tomorrow?"
Chen Tang's eyes fell on the wedding dress and said, "I will wear the wedding dress, but I will not ride in the sedan chair of Prince Jingyang's mansion again."
Again……?
It sounded as if the girl had been in the bridal sedan at Prince Jingyang's Palace. The girl was really so angry that she was confused.
Ginkgo wanted to ask, but Chen Tang didn’t give her a chance to speak, “You’ll know tomorrow.”
It will be too late tomorrow.
Ginkgo was crying out in her heart, but it was useless for a maid like her to be anxious. The girl had to be anxious herself.
Ginkgo didn't like the hot potato in his hand, so he kept it far away to avoid feeling upset.
While Chen Tang was drinking tea and eating snacks, Chen Xi was pacing back and forth in the room, waiting anxiously.
She was sure that when the wedding dress was delivered, Chen Tang would send it back to her, but after waiting for a long time, Chen Tang did not come to find her, and no maid went to look for her either. Instead, she could not figure out what Chen Tang was going to do.
She didn't believe that Chen Tang would jump into the fire pit knowing that there was a pit ahead. If she really cared about her as an elder sister, she wouldn't have splashed tea on her, embarrassed her, and let her grandmother be disappointed in her.
She didn't believe that the tea was an accident!
Chen Tang must be trying to find a way to prevent her from getting married.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Shen Xi walked back and forth a few times and then stopped.
"Prepare cold water!"
…
The well water in early spring is icy cold.
Chen Xi suppressed her shivering and slowly entered the bathtub.
Before people can fully soak in it, they start sneezing one after another.
…
After nightfall.
Chen Tang went to bed early. After all, she had experience in being married and knew that she would be woken up early tomorrow morning. It was not something she could avoid if she didn't want to.
But before dawn the next day, the people of Chen Tang woke up, but Empress Shiquan had not arrived yet.
I waited from dawn till dawn but he didn't come.
Why are the people who came here early in the previous life nowhere to be seen now?
Just as Chen Tang was feeling strange, Madam Sun, the housekeeper beside the Second Madam, came over. Seeing Chen Tang sitting on the bed, she scolded Ginkgo, "What time is it now? Why don't you quickly dress up the Second Miss?!"
Ginkgo said, "Empress Shiquan hasn't come yet..."
Madam Sun said, "I can't come. The marriage was arranged in a hurry. There were a lot of things going on in the mansion yesterday. The Second Madam was so busy that she forgot about inviting Lady Shiquan."
It turned out that she forgot to invite her. Well, in her previous life, the second wife didn't spend so much time scheming against her. She had enough energy and naturally did things more properly.
Chen Tang was not angry. Not using a razor to shave was just what she wanted. Sitting in front of the dressing table, Chen Tang handed the ivory comb to Ginkgo, who took it with red eyes.
After dressing up and putting on her wedding dress, she sat on the bed and waited for the sedan chair from Prince Jingyang's palace to arrive.
After waiting for half an hour, I heard the faint sound of firecrackers and suona coming from the front yard.
Chen Tang put on the phoenix crown and covered her head with a large red veil embroidered with a phoenix and a crane singing in harmony, then went out with the help of Ginkgo.
According to the rules, Chen Tang had to say goodbye to her grandmother and father first, and then be carried out by her cousin. However, Chen Tang skipped all that and directly asked Yin Xing to help her out of the house.
Although Mother Sun felt that this was against the rules, she did not say anything to stop it.
As long as Chen Tang didn't get on the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion, the Second Madam and Shen Xi would not feel at ease. She tried to dissuade him, saying that if the Second Madam changed her mind and didn't want to get married, it would cause trouble for them.
Mother Sun pretended not to hear and Yinxing helped Chen Tang to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
The gate of the Marquis' Mansion was bustling with activity. In addition to the wedding procession from Prince Jingyang's Mansion, there were also many people who came to watch the fun.
The Prince of Jingyang is in a coma. The one who came to the Jingyang Palace to pick him up today is his half-brother, the second young master of the Jingyang Palace, Xie Guiyin.
Seeing Chen Tang go out, the people in Jingyang Palace were a little surprised. They thought they would have to wait for a while, but they didn't expect that the person would be sent out so quickly. The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was indeed smart.
Just as I was thinking this, the bride took off her veil as she walked out of the door.
This scene happened so quickly that everyone was stunned.
Mother Sun's face changed, "What is the second girl doing?"
Chen Tang said calmly, “Removing the veil will make it easier to talk to the people in Jingyang Palace.”
