Chapter 76 Doubt
Shen Tang’s heart trembled.
She was so angry just now that she lost her mind. How could she recognize him just by looking at his back? Why didn't she just endure it a little longer until he took off his mask? Now, when she was questioned, she didn't know how to answer.
The man looked as if he would not let her go unless she told him. Chen Tang hesitated, "I, I had always suspected that it was you..."
Xie Guimo smiled, "Am I so easy to fool?"
He was deliberately guiding her, and she had no doubt about it.
The maid had her doubts, but they were dispelled by her.
Now you suspect it's him?
It's too late.
She knew that he would be fine even without the wedding, and recognized the jade pendant he had just obtained. She also said that she had seen him wearing it before. Although she avoided him, she was not afraid of him. She glared at him with ease, as if she had done it countless times.
It is even worse now. One can tell it is him just by looking at his back. Even his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him, cannot recognize her own son just by looking at his back, but she can do it.
However, he did not object to Shen Tang knowing him so well, but he would not let her leave until the matter was clarified.
Chen Tang knew that Xie Guimo was not easy to fool, but he could only bite the bullet and fool him. Chen Tang said with a clenched neck, "I just didn't say it. You said you would come to propose marriage at the Lantern Festival, but within two days, the old prince went to my Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Before I knew that the old prince was asking for Chen Xi's hand in marriage for you, I thought you were the prince of Jingyang!"
"I ask you to help me stop my second uncle from being promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Prince Jingyang helped me to accomplish this. Not many people can ask Prince Jingyang for help. Since you cannot come to propose marriage yourself, please ask the emperor to help you pass on the message..."
"Just now I saw the arrow wound on your back, I, I was sure..."
Chen Tang wanted to say it in a decisive manner, as if it was the fact, but the man was too close to her, so close that not only their breaths entangled, but even their eyelashes were almost fluttering together.
When she got nervous, her momentum weakened and she looked a little guilty.
The man's hands were not honest. Not only did he touch her face, he also touched her ears. She was very ticklish and her body trembled involuntarily. She was even more afraid that the hand would strangle her neck, just like when he caught her lying to him in her previous life.
She hated the feeling of being at the mercy of others.
It was clearly him who bullied and deceived her!
Why should she feel guilty? !
Chen Tang was so angry that he wanted to brush his hand away, but the man's mellow voice rushed towards him, "When did you peek at me taking a bath?"
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Who watched him take a shower? !
Chen Tang's eyes dart with anger.
Chen Tang said that he could determine his identity by looking at the arrow wound, but the man didn't believe a word of it. He was wounded by an arrow while saving the Second Prince. Everyone in Kyoto knew this, but even in Prince Jingyang's Mansion, few people knew that he was wounded in the right shoulder. How did she know it so clearly?
The first time they met, he was being hunted. He hadn't shown up for only half a year, but she suspected that he had been killed. In her eyes, he was living on the edge of a knife, so wasn't it normal for him to have arrow wounds on his body? How could she think that he was the prince of Jingyang?
More importantly, this woman would take a detour when she saw him, suspecting that he was the prince of Jingyang and would not go to the Lantern Festival. Moreover, she was irritated by him at Duke Wen's mansion that day, so she had to see his face.
This woman clearly never guessed from the beginning to the end that he was the Prince of Jingyang.
She didn't want him to be either.
The more the man thought about it, the more anxious he became.
The man didn't believe Chen Tang's explanation, but he also couldn't guess that there was such a bizarre thing as rebirth in the world. There was no other possibility for him to be able to see his back except that he had peeked at him taking a bath.
But this speculation didn't make Chen Tang angry to death. In his previous life, this bastard refused to let her occupy his position as the Crown Prince's Consort for nothing. Before the marriage was consummated, he forced her to serve him in bathing like a maid every few days. She was afraid that she knew what his back looked like better than he did.
If she hadn't seen it so many times, how could she recognize it at first sight? !
In his previous life, he forced her to serve him in bathing, and in this life, he slandered her for peeping at him taking a bath.
Chen Tang's eyes were burning with anger, and he wished he could kick that bastard into the lake to cool off.
Let alone kicking someone into the lake, she couldn't even get off the table. Chen Tang was extremely humiliated, "I told you and you didn't believe me, why are you asking?"
She pushed him hard and said, "Let me go!"
Xie Guimo grabbed Chen Tang's hand. Chen Tang tried to pull it back. He didn't know if it was because of pain or grievance. He cried, "Please let me go."
Xie Guimo just stared at Chen Tang's face. When he approached, Chen Tang hurriedly avoided him. The nervousness and fear were like a thorn piercing into his heart. The pain spread from the bottom of his heart, and the hand that was tightly holding Chen Tang gradually loosened.
Fearing that he would go back on his word, Chen Tang quickly got off the table and ran to the deck, "I want to go ashore."
Chen Qi looked inside the boat, "Master...?"
"Let her go."
The voice was filled with suppressed anger, and Chen Qi didn't dare to imagine how angry the master was.
Chen Qi quickly asked the boatman to dock.
Chen Tang was standing at the bow of the boat. The wind was strong at night, making his body feel a little cold, but his heart was even colder.
She did not go back into the boat, and Xie Guimo did not come out either.
As soon as the boat docked, Chen Tang hurried down even before the planks were put up. He walked so fast that he nearly fell into the water.
Ginkgo and Qiutong were guarding the shore. When Chen Tang got off the boat, the two maids came up to greet him. Chen Tang said, "Go back to the mansion."
She walked forward without stopping.
The two maids, Ginkgo and Qiutong, looked at each other.
Why is the girl in such a hurry to leave? Is that man going to bully her?
No, that man was injured while trying to save the girl by the men of the Prince of Changping. He has been as good to the girl as he could be. He also said that he wanted to marry the girl. The emperor knows about this.
Seeing that Chen Tang was about to walk away, the two maids hurried to catch up.
But when leaving, Ginkgo looked back and happened to see the man walking out of the boat.
With the help of moonlight, Ginkgo saw the man's appearance clearly and was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
Then, then... isn’t he the Prince of Jingyang? !
The man who repeatedly saved her daughter and said he wanted to marry her daughter turned out to be the Prince of Jingyang...
Although Ginkgo had guessed it was him before, she still couldn't believe it when she saw him with her own eyes.
Chen Tang walked two streets in one breath without stopping and arrived at the place where the carriage was parked. The servant did not expect her to come back so soon. She was not near the carriage and no one knew where she had gone.
Gingko helped Chen Tang onto the carriage, while Qiu Tong went to find the servant.
I had been holding back my tears all the way, but once I got into the carriage, I couldn't hold them back any longer, and they fell like beads from a broken string.
Ginkgo was startled, "Why is the girl crying?"
No one answered her.
Chen Tang leaned against the carriage, wiping away endless tears.
Ginkgo thought of that man and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How could that man be the prince of Jingyang?"
