Chapter 86 Awkward
Originally, Jiang Li and Jiang Ning wanted to go shopping after sending Jiang Mingxiu and Jiang Mingyuan off, but after finding the cheat sheet, they were no longer in the mood to go shopping, and they had to report this to their grandparents.
Chen Tang went back to Jiang's house with them, and Chen Xi said, "I still have to go back to Jingci Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures, so I won't go with you."
Jiang Li tried to persuade her, "Can't we go together? Grandma really wants to see you go to the Jiang family together."
Shen Xian shook her head, "Next time."
Chen Tang wanted to stop Jiang Li, but held back. Chen Xian had just been to the Jiang family a few days ago and got a lot of good things. This time, even if the Jiang family gave more, they wouldn't be able to give much. Without any benefits, how could Chen Xian go to the Jiang family, especially when she was there too.
Chen Xian insisted on refusing, so Jiang Li and Jiang Ning could only reluctantly send her to the carriage.
After seeing Chen Xi off, Chen Tang, Jiang Li and Jiang Ning squeezed into a carriage and went to Jiang's house.
Arriving at the Jiang family, the three of them got off the carriage and walked towards Cuibai Courtyard where Old Madam Jiang lived. Before they entered the house and bowed to Old Madam Jiang, the servant behind them came in with a food box and said, "Miss, I asked the doctor to check. There is a laxative in the food box prepared for the second young master..."
Old Madam Jiang sat on the Luohan couch, and the First Madam Jiang and the Second Madam Jiang sat on the left and right of Old Madam Jiang respectively.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was stunned. "How could there be laxatives in the food that Yuaner brought into the examination room?"
Madam Jiang asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Jiang Li stepped forward and said, "We went to send our eldest and second brothers to the examination room, and my cousin went with us. When we were entering the examination room, my cousin was worried and asked my eldest brother and the others to check the things they brought into the examination room. I don't know when someone stuffed cheat sheets into my eldest brother's bedding. My cousin was worried and worried that someone was plotting against my second brother, so she asked if he had touched his food box. It happened that my second sister saw someone bump into the servant carrying the food box, so my cousin asked my second brother to buy another meal and bring it to the tribute hall..."
Just two sentences made Old Madam Jiang, First Madam Jiang and Second Madam Jiang's hearts tremble uncontrollably.
The Jiang family is a clean and honest family. If the news were to spread that Young Master Jiang had brought cheat sheets into the examination room, it would not only ruin Young Master Jiang's future, but also the Jiang family's reputation of clean and honesty, which is the foundation of the Jiang family.
Who did the Jiang family offend that someone would use such dirty means to harm the Jiang family? !
Mrs. Jiang looked at Chen Tang and choked up, "Thanks to Tang'er, otherwise our Jiang family..."
She didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be if she didn't stop the cheat sheet.
Chen Tang shook her head. She should have reminded the Jiang family earlier, "Someone is plotting against my two cousins. This means that they will definitely pass the high school entrance exam and have a bright future. This scares them. If my cousins were not good at studying, no one would harm them."
Old Madam Jiang, First Madam Jiang, and Second Madam Jiang were angry, but when they heard what Chen Tang said, their anger disappeared by half.
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "You are the only one who is sweet-mouthed and can comfort people."
Chen Tang sat for a while. Jiang Li and Jiang Ning had endless things to talk about with her, so they took Chen Tang to visit the garden.
But when Chen Tang and the others went out, Old Madam Jiang told Madam Jiang Da, "Let Li'er's father tell Marquis Pingyuan what happened yesterday."
Mrs. Jiang replied, "The master will go to the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion when he is off work."
What happened again?
Chen Tang glanced at Jiang Li and Jiang Ning, and saw that there was no curiosity on their faces, so they should know.
Chen Tang endured it and left Cuibai Courtyard before asking, "What happened yesterday?"
Jiang Ning looked around and whispered, "Something very strange happened..."
"Strange thing?"
Chen Tang frowned, "What's strange?"
Jiang Ning said, "Didn't you say that my aunt told my elder and second brothers to write an article in her dream and burn it for her? Yesterday, my uncle and my elder and second brothers went to pay respect to my aunt. Who do you think they saw at my aunt's grave?"
No wonder she told her father, it turned out to be related to her mother.
This made Shen Tang unable to guess, Shen Tang shook his head, "Who did you see?"
Jiang Ning looked around again before replying, "Prince Jingyang."
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Chen Tang was stunned at first, then she remembered that some bastard had said he dug up her mother's grave. Her heart trembled, and her voice suddenly rose, "He went to dig up my mother's grave?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
He is the prince of Jingyang. How could he do something like digging up human graves?
If they really wanted to dig the grave, they would have told my uncle yesterday. Why would they wait until today?
Jiang Ning said, "They didn't dig the grave. When my uncle and my elder and second brothers went there, the Prince of Jingyang was standing in front of my aunt's grave. His guards were burning paper money there, and there were still a lot of unburned paper money beside it..."
Chen Tang, "..."
Xie Guimo went to burn paper for her mother?
How could that bastard do such an outrageous thing.
Did he take the wrong medicine?
What made Chen Tang speechless was still to come. Jiang Ning continued, "Prince Jingyang didn't expect that his uncle and his elder and second brothers would go there. He was seen and felt quite embarrassed. He said that he went to the wrong grave..."
"After Prince Jingyang left, my eldest and second brothers helped burn the paper money he brought for my aunt. It took them quite a while."
Chen Tang, "..."
No matter what purpose that bastard had in worshipping her mother.
But from Jiang Ning's words, Chen Tang felt the embarrassment of a certain master.
This excuse is so poor, it’s better not to make one.
Her mother's grave had a new tombstone just last year, and the words on it were so clear that they looked like they were newly carved. Unless one was illiterate, it would be impossible to go to the wrong grave.
Even Shen Tang found this matter outrageous, not to mention that Master Jiang, Jiang Mingxiu and Jiang Mingyuan were so old. After they paid tribute to Jiang, they returned home and told Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang about this.
After speculating for a long time, no one could guess what the purpose was behind this outrageous behavior. After all, burning paper for worship is not a bad thing, and no one would want to harm someone who has been dead for more than ten years. It is no exaggeration to say that burning paper is really useful. What a certain gentleman brought is enough for Jiang to use for several lifetimes in the underworld.
The Jiang family discussed for a long time yesterday whether or not to tell Shen Sui about this matter. Jiang Mingxiu thought of the embarrassment of a certain master and felt that it was better not to tell him. Maybe he really went to the wrong grave, although this was obviously impossible.
Old Master Jiang felt that there was no need to tell Shen Sui deliberately, so he asked Master Jiang to mention it casually when he met Shen Sui one day.
...Even if I just mentioned it casually, my father would definitely spend several days thinking about it.
Seeing Chen Tang raising his hand to support his forehead, Jiang Ning asked in a low voice, "Cousin, do you know why the Prince of Jingyang went to burn paper for his aunt?"
Chen Tang, "..."
I know but I can't tell you.
She still has some dignity left.
Shen Tang shook his head repeatedly.
It's just that her ears turned red, Jiang Ning didn't notice it, but Jiang Li saw it. She thought Chen Tang knew it, but since Chen Tang didn't say anything, she knew better and didn't ask any further questions.
She had not forgotten that not long ago, when Chen Tang was startled by a horse on the street, it was Prince Jingyang who saved her. It was also Prince Jingyang who cured Chen Tang of her dislocated arm. And when Chen Tang fell into the water at Yanqi Lake, Prince Jingyang jumped in but failed to save her...
