Chapter 8 Fulfillment
The Prince of Jingyang woke up and was fine, so it was no big deal for Chen Tang to refuse to marry him in front of the bridal sedan.
But everyone was wondering why Chen Tang was so sure that Prince Jingyang would not die. Chen Sui came to the ancestral hall to ask about this.
Shen Sui asked, "How do you know that Prince Jingyang will be fine?"
Chen Tang looked at his father and said word by word, "My daughter said that her mother told her in her dream. Do you believe it, father?"
A dream?
Shen Sui's brows were furrowed.
Chen Tang nodded and said, "Yesterday, my daughter dreamed of me. We talked a lot. I was told that Prince Jingyang would wake up today and asked me not to marry him in his place, otherwise it would cause endless trouble."
"I was skeptical at first and didn't dare to gamble with the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, but this was the most insignificant thing of what mother said. I was even more afraid that other things would come true, so I took the risk and used my own life to verify it."
Shen Sui's brows were already furrowed, and now they were furrowed even more. "What else did your mother say?"
Chen Tang said, “My eldest brother was lost at the Lantern Festival that year. It was not an accident, nor was it my uncle’s negligence. It was planned by my second uncle.”
Shen Sui's expression changed, and he blurted out, "Impossible, your second uncle would never do such a thing!"
"Father!"
Shen Tang's voice was heavy and contained a hint of anger.
Shen Tang knew that Shen Sui trusted the Second Master and would have a big reaction when she heard about this, so she was mentally prepared, but she still couldn't help but get angry.
Yun Xiu clenched her hands tightly, and Chen Tang's eyes were red as she said, "Father trusts Second Uncle and feels that he and Second Uncle have a deep brotherly relationship. He won't harm you. What about me and my eldest sister? Don't we have a bad relationship as sisters?"
"But for her own sake, didn't the eldest sister push me, her own younger sister, into the fire pit?!"
The incident in which Chen Xi drugged herself and framed Chen Tang happened yesterday, and Chen Sui had no way to refute it even if she wanted to.
Chen Tang wiped away his tears and said, "Father doesn't believe that Second Uncle would harm Big Brother, so I don't think he would believe that Second House would have the guts and the ability to replace Second Brother right under Father's nose?"
"Mother told me that my eldest brother is still alive and in Kyoto. Father doesn't believe what mother said, but I do. I will definitely find my eldest brother."
"My daughter doesn't expect you to investigate my second uncle. I just hope you can be a little suspicious of him and be on guard against him..."
"The daughter already has no mother, and she doesn't want to be without a father anymore."
Chen Tang finished speaking with tears in his eyes, then turned and left, covering his injured arm.
After only two steps, he stopped again, but did not look back. "My mother also asked me to tell my father that you left the jade pendant in front of her grave."
After saying that, Shen Tang walked away without looking back, not noticing the shock on Shen Sui's face.
The reason why Chen Tang knew that Chen Sui went to worship Jiang yesterday was because of the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was given to Chen Sui by Jiang. He always wore it with him. After it was lost in the previous life, Chen Sui searched for it for a long time. Later, when Chen Tang was shopping, he saw it at a stall and realized that it had fallen in front of Jiang's grave and was picked up and sold by someone.
Chen Tang mentioned her mother in her dream yesterday, which was to pave the way for today. Her rebirth after death was too bizarre. If she told her father directly, she was afraid that her father would not believe it and would think that she was possessed. She could only tell her father these things through her mother's dream.
Chen Tang regretted not asking Chen Xi who his eldest brother was before he died. Now he had to find him himself.
In the past two days, she chewed over the few words that Shen Xi revealed about her eldest brother, especially the sentence that she would not guess who he was -
The eldest brother must be someone she knows!
I'm afraid that not only they know him, but his identity is also extraordinary, otherwise even Xie Guimo would not have fallen into their hands, and the eldest brother is still alive and well, and it can be seen that he is a person who cannot be easily removed even though he sits in that position.
Ginkgo was guarding outside the ancestral hall. Seeing Chen Tang coming out despite the pain in his knee, Ginkgo felt so distressed that he hurried over to help Chen Tang go back and apply medicine.
After walking a hundred steps forward, a maid came running over and said, "Second Miss, the old lady wants you to go to Songhe Hall."
If he went to her now, it was obvious that he was going to ask her how she knew that Prince Jingyang would be fine.
Chen Tang said, "Help me to Songhe Hall."
Gingko was so angry that she asked, "The girl is injured like this, doesn't the old lady feel sorry for her at all?"
“It was the Second Wife who asked me to go,” Chen Tang said.
Ginkgo was stunned and asked in confusion, "Then the girl is still going?"
Chen Tang said nothing and walked towards Songhe Hall. Ginkgo could only support her as she limped over.
Inside the room, the old lady was sitting on the couch, with the second and third wives sitting on her left and right respectively.
Chen Tang was still wearing her wedding gown, but not the phoenix crown. She had been kneeling for a long time because of her injury. She was not as energetic as before, and her beauty of brokenness and fragility was enhanced, which made people feel pity for her from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing her come in, the old lady was a little surprised, "Why are you still coming to Grandma's place when you are so injured?"
Chen Tang wanted to speak, but he groaned in pain. After a while, he said, "I know that my refusal to marry today and letting the Jingyang Palace's bridal sedan go back empty have angered my grandmother. My grandmother sent a maid to find me, and I dare not not come."
When the old lady heard this, she glanced at the second wife.
The Second Wife was a little restless and asked Chen Tang, "How can you be sure that Prince Jingyang will be fine even without the wedding?"
Chen Tang said calmly, "My mother told me in my dream."
Just a few straightforward words almost angered the Second Wife to death.
The second wife's anger surged from her limbs to her head, and her voice trembled with anger, "You also believe what happened in a dream?! You're going to gamble the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion like this?!"
The rebuke came at him, and a layer of frost covered Shen Tang's face, "I don't trust others, but my own mother!"
"Even if he is no longer in this world, he will do everything he can to protect me!"
Thinking of his mother who died of depression after being murdered, Shen Tang had a knife in his eyes.
The second wife didn't expect Chen Tang to contradict her so loudly. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she couldn't refute Chen Tang's words.
Jiang didn't love Shen Xi and even wanted to strangle her to death, but she loved Shen Tang very much. She held him in her arms and didn't allow anyone to touch him, not even the wet nurse, and she fed him herself until she passed away.
The old lady was deeply moved and said, "Your mother loved you the most when she was alive, so you should listen to her."
The second wife said, "But you should have said something instead of making your own decisions."
Chen Tang sneered, "No one discussed this matter with me before."
The second wife's face looked as ugly as if she had been slapped several times after being refuted with just one sentence.
Chen Tang didn't want to say more, she said to the old lady, "Nothing else, I'll go back first."
Shen Tang tried to salute, but when her knees bent, she gasped in pain.
The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she ordered Hongxiu, "Help the second young lady go back quickly."
Chen Tang's body was shaky, and he walked out of the door and out of the courtyard with the help of Hongxiu and Yinxing.
But when she went down the stairs, she fell forward.
"girl!"
