Chapter 87: Thoughts
Afraid that Jiang Li and Jiang Ning would ask further questions, Chen Tang decisively changed the subject and asked, "Why did grandma give her favorite jade bracelet to my eldest sister?"
Jiang Ning said, "Grandma likes jade bracelets, but she likes my cousin even more. My cousin only comes to the Jiang family once every ten years or so. She likes grandma's jade bracelet, so grandma took it off and gave it to her."
She knew that her grandmother did not give the jade bracelet to Chen Xi casually.
This was the first time in more than a decade that the granddaughter came to visit, and she clearly liked the jade bracelet that she was wearing. Even though she was reluctant, she had to reluctantly give it up and give it to Chen Xi.
Chen Tang was very angry. She looked around and said to Jiang Li and Jiang Ning, "She is not my biological sister and has nothing to do with the Jiang family."
Jiang Li and Jiang Ning were both stunned.
Jiang Ning was so shocked that she blurted out, "How is this possible?!"
Chen Tang said, "I was ready to tell my grandmother the day I stopped the Yongning Marquis's mansion from harming my cousin. I thought Chen Xi would not come to the Jiang family, so I didn't tell my grandmother to avoid being angry. I didn't expect her to come to the Jiang family and ask my grandfather to plead for the second wife who plotted against my mother and left her dowry. My grandmother even gave her her favorite gift."
"Even today, she went there, so I was worried and asked my cousins to check the things they brought into the tribute hall."
"From now on, whether she comes to the Jiang family or meets her outside the mansion, you must be careful."
If there was evidence, Chen Tang would have said directly that the cheat sheet in the bedding and the laxative in the food were the work of Chen Xi. However, even if Jiang Li and Jiang Ning could not guess it, grandparents could guess it.
Chen Tang didn't want them to be sad, but now it had come to the point where she had to tell them. She couldn't be so lucky every time. If she caught them, the Jiang family had to be on guard.
If the Jiang family were to fall victim to Chen Xi's schemes because of her concealment, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Jiang Li and Jiang Ning, you look at me and I look at you.
Although they all knew that their aunt disliked Shen Xian when she was alive and even almost strangled her to death, they never thought that Shen Xian was really not their aunt's daughter. But Shen Tang helped the Jiang family several times, and they couldn't help but believe what Shen Tang said.
The two nodded, "We will be careful."
It was already late, so the three of them just strolled around the garden and then returned to Cuibai Courtyard to have lunch with Old Madam Jiang.
After dinner, they stayed for another quarter of an hour before Jiang Li and Jiang Ning escorted Chen Tang out of the house.
However, Chen Tang did not go back to the mansion directly, but stopped in front of a medicine shop on the street. Last time she forgot to take medicine and the pain during her period was so severe that she was dying. She must not forget it again this time. Buying medicine was one of the reasons why she had to leave the mansion today.
The carriage stopped, and seeing Chen Tang trying to get up the carriage, Ginkgo said, "I'll just go get the medicine."
Chen Tang said, "Let's go together."
Ginkgo was afraid that if someone saw Chen Tang going to the pharmacy, rumors would spread, but Chen Tang didn't care. She was feeling stuffy staying in the carriage, and it would take a while to get the medicine, so she could go downstairs to get some fresh air. As for being seen by others, rumors that she was a jinx would be flying everywhere. Is there anything more hurtful than these rumors?
The master and servant entered the pharmacy. Ginkgo handed the prescription to the pharmacy clerk and said, "Get ten doses of medicine."
Ten sets are not enough, you need to take it for three months, ten sets per month.
The young man was quick and quickly prepared ten prescriptions. Ginkgo paid the money, then carried the medicine and followed Chen Tang out of the pharmacy.
Chen Tang said, "Put the medicine in the carriage, and we'll go buy some candied fruits in front."
Chen Tang was afraid of taking medicine, especially three times a day. If she didn't take it with candied fruit, she would be miserable.
Zuixianlou.
Private room on the second floor.
The prince of Xuanyi Marquis Chu Yi, the prince of Duan Wang Xiao Xun, and the eldest son of the Minister of War Lu Li were sitting there drinking.
Chu Yi asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Huan come yet? The emperor won't keep him in the palace for lunch, right?"
Xiao Xun knew that Chu Yi was always impatient, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Huan is no less busy than us. He just returned to the capital from the border today and went to the palace to report. The emperor must have a lot to ask him, but--"
Xiao Xun looked at Xie Guimo who was standing by the window and whispered, "Don't you think he's a little abnormal today?"
Chu Yi agreed, "A little bit indeed."
He stood up and walked towards Xie Guimo, asking, "Brother Guimo, is there something on your mind?"
"No."
They still say no, but the words "I'm worried" are almost carved on their faces. They are not blind.
Since Xie Guimo didn't say anything, Chu Yi was ready to ask Chen Qi indirectly. However, just as he was about to ask Chen Qi, there was a commotion downstairs, followed by the sound of things being smashed. This was obviously the sound of a fight, which immediately attracted Chu Yi's attention.
There was a fight downstairs, and Chu Yi went to watch the fun. Xie Guimo didn't move. He looked at the sky, and when he was about to sit down and drink, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Seeing Chen Tang talking and laughing with the maid, a certain master felt his back teeth itching.
I have never seen such a heartless woman. Knowing that she was being targeted by the Changping Marquis' Mansion, she still dared to take her maid out shopping. She really is not afraid of death at all.
Ginkgo paid the money and took the candied fruit, and Chen Tang prepared to go home. The master and servant walked forward, and as they walked, Chen Tang slowly stopped.
I don’t know if it was her illusion.
Why did she feel like someone was watching her?
Could it be someone from the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion? !
Chen Tang stopped, looked back, and saw Xie Guimo standing by the window.
Eyes met.
A glance dodged.
A fire flickered in one eye.
Chen Tang thought of what Jiang Ning had told her, that Xie Guimo went to burn paper at her mother Jiang's grave. Really, Chen Tang was determined to avoid Xie Guimo when she saw him, but she couldn't help but want to know why he would do such an outrageous thing.
Chen Tang couldn't help but look towards the window, but the place where she was standing was too unfortunate, just outside the gate of Zuixian Building, where a fight was going on in full swing.
Then a wine jar flew out and hit her squarely.
Chen Tang naturally didn't notice it, but when Xie Guimo saw it, his face changed drastically, and he jumped down from the second floor with his hands on the window.
Chen Tang was looking at Xie Guimo. When he saw him jump down, his heart skipped a beat. Then someone hugged his waist and turned him around. Then the sound of a wine jar hitting the ground was heard.
Chen Tang realized belatedly that he was almost hit by the wine jar. If he had been hit, he would have been half-dead if not killed.
Chen Tang was still in shock. She looked up to see who the man was who saved her, and suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes.
“Brother——”
Shen Tang blurted out.
The man said, "The girl is calling me?"
Shen Tang came back to his senses and quickly took a step back.
She must be crazy.
She actually felt that Xiao Huan, the only grandson of the current emperor's uncle, Prince Ning, and the Prince of Ning's Mansion, was her elder brother who had been lost for more than ten years.
Chen Tang quickly drove this inappropriate thought out of his mind, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Prince Ning, for saving me."
Xiao Huan was surprised, "Young lady, have you seen me before?"
“…I was fortunate enough to have seen him from afar,” Chen Tang replied.
Not far away, a certain man’s face was darker than the bottom of a century-old pot.
He found that Chen Tang was in danger, but it was too late to jump out of the window to save her. When he saw someone saving Chen Tang, his heart was relieved. But when he saw Chen Tang being hugged by someone around the waist and she was still staring at the person's face, the anger of that gentleman surged to his head.
Xie Guimo strode over, and Chen Tang saw that he looked bad, so he quickly dodged.
Xiao Huan smiled and greeted Xie Guimo, "Hello."
