Chapter 133: Silencing
All the servants in the room, except Mother Wang, even Ginkgo who was following Shen Tang, had gone out.
Anyway, Ginkgo knows everything he should know, so there is no need to hear it again.
After everyone left, the old lady asked Chen Sui, "What did Xian'er do wrong this time that made you so angry that you even punished the second wife?"
His son has always been a man of strict rules, and would never punish the second wife unless it was something he could not tolerate.
Chen Sui couldn't control his anger and said, "Xie'er used Tang'er's guise to ask Prince Ning to meet at Yanqi Lake."
The old lady frowned.
Why did Xian'er make an appointment with Prince Ning for no reason?
Thinking of the bloody disaster, the old lady vaguely guessed Shen Xi's intention.
The old lady asked, "Is it because of the bloody disaster?"
Seeing that Shen Sui was so angry that she couldn't speak, the old lady knew that her guess was right. She knew that Shen Ying was anxious, and the second wife was also worried about Shen Ying's lifelong affairs. She was no exception. The old lady glanced at Chen Tang and said, "It's wrong for Ying'er to make an appointment with Prince Ning under the guise of Tang'er, but Tang'er can report it to me and I will punish her. How can a younger sister directly attack her elder sister?"
Shen Sui said angrily, "If Xian'er had only made an appointment with Prince Ning, I wouldn't have cared much, but she drugged Prince Ning!"
The old lady's face changed now, and she frowned and said, "A bloody disaster has forced a good daughter of my Pingyuan Marquis's mansion to this extent. You too, I asked you to pay more attention and settle Xian'er's marriage as soon as possible, but you have been slow to act, and look at what you have forced her into."
The old lady was very angry, but more of her was heartbroken.
Shen Sui sat down angrily, "In mother's eyes, this is my fault?"
The old lady said, "I am not such a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. But now that the mistake has been made, I can only apologize to the old Prince Ning and settle the marriage..."
Shen Sui's expression was already ugly, and when he heard the old lady's words, his expression became even uglier, "Tang'er stopped it in time, and no big mistake was made!"
No?
The old lady thought that the drugging was successful. She looked at Chen Tang and then at Chen Sui. "What Xian'er did was a bit dirty, but it was understandable. The old Prince Ning asked you to marry Tang'er that day, which shows that the daughter of our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is also worthy of the Prince of Ning Mansion..."
Shen Sui had just sat down, and when he heard this, he stood up angrily, "Does mother know what she is talking about?!"
The old lady was shocked by Shen Sui's reaction, "What's wrong with what I said?"
As a mother and son, there is no need to speak false words.
If Chen Xian could really marry the Prince of Ning, it would not be bad for the Pingyuan Marquisate. As for the melon that Chen Xian forced down, whether it was bitter or sweet, she would have to bear it herself.
She did not approve of Shen Xi doing such dirty things, but she would not stop her, she would turn a blind eye.
Shen Sui asked, "Does mother know who the Prince of Ning is?"
Old lady, “……???”
The Prince of Ning is the grandson of the old Prince Ning.
What's there to ask about something that everyone in Kyoto knows?
The old lady looked at Chen Sui, and heard Chen Sui say word by word, "The Prince of Ning is Yan'er, my son, Chen Yan!"
a bolt from the blue.
The old lady was stunned by Shen Sui's words. She couldn't recover for a long time. Finally, she said, "Are you crazy thinking about Yan'er? He is the grandson of old Prince Ning. How can he be our Prince of Pingyuan?!"
Shen Sui had not originally intended to tell the old lady about this, but now it had come to the point where she had to tell her.
Chen Sui said, "Yan'er and I have already known each other as father and son, but the old Princess Ning is old and in poor health. The old Prince Ning did not dare to let the old Princess Ning know that their grandson had died of illness more than ten years ago, so he asked me not to bring Yan'er back for the time being."
As she spoke, Shen Sui looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, do you really think Tang'er has no sense of propriety? If that was really the Prince of Ning, how dare she order him to save people in the street? Tang'er ordered her own eldest brother!"
The old lady's heart was filled with turmoil, and Mother Wang cried with joy.
The fact that the Marquis had no children had always been a source of worry for the old lady. She never expected that a prince could be found. It was like a dream that the Prince of Ning, who was both civil and military, was actually the Prince of their Marquis Pingyuan Mansion.
Mother Wang really suspected that she was dreaming and secretly reached out to pinch herself.
It hurts so much.
Really happy too.
The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. Although she couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen, she knew that Shen Sui would not joke with her like this. She was happy and angry. "Such a big thing, you even told Tang'er, but you kept it from me?"
Shen Sui said, “The one who found Yan’er was Tang’er, not me.”
The old lady looked stunned.
Chen Sui said, "I didn't let Tang'er tell you because I was afraid that you couldn't help but want to see Yan'er and wanted him to recognize his ancestors as soon as possible. Old Prince Ning saved Yan'er's life, and I also promised not to recognize Yan'er for the time being. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Also, when Yan'er was lost, I was afraid that Yan'er's identity would be exposed and he would be in danger."
The person who didn't allow the old lady to be told was Chen Tang. Chen Sui was afraid that the old lady would be angry with Chen Tang, so he took the matter under his wing.
The old lady admitted that Shen Sui's concerns were correct. After hearing that Prince Ning was her grandson, she couldn't wait to meet him. She said, "It's fine if you hide it from others, but you almost made a big mistake by hiding it from your family."
Chen Tang really didn't know what to do. The second branch of the family had cruelly plotted against her eldest brother and made her father childless. If they knew her eldest brother was still alive, they would definitely find a way to get rid of him, so she didn't dare let the old lady know. But she kept it a secret, but she couldn't prevent Chen Xian and the second branch from actually setting their sights on the position of Prince Ning's princess in order to avoid the bloody disaster.
Did her eldest brother dig up the second branch’s ancestral grave in his previous life? He is plotting against him alone.
When Chen Sui heard this, his face darkened. "I told mother today because I didn't want her to stop me from punishing Xi'er and the second wife. I don't want the other three wives to know about this..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream of "Ah" came from outside the door and window.
Then the maid was thrown in through the window by Chen Shan.
The maid fell heavily to the ground, the pain was as if her whole body was broken, and she knelt down quickly, "My Lord, please spare me, I know I was wrong, I didn't mean to eavesdrop..."
Shen Sui's face was livid, the old lady's face was also ugly, and there was also Shen Tang.
Chen Tang said, "Who told you to eavesdrop outside the door?!"
The maid shook her head and knelt on the ground trembling, "No, no one asked me to eavesdrop..."
In fact, everyone in the room knew exactly who this maid belonged to.
The third and fourth wives did not have the courage to bribe the maids in the old lady's yard. Only the second wife dared to do so, and only she would do such a thing.
She even monitors the old lady's every move, and yet she keeps saying that she doesn't take the old lady seriously. Who is the one who really doesn't take the old lady seriously?
Shen Sui walked towards the maid, grabbed her neck, and broke it right in front of the old lady.
The old lady had never seen her son kill anyone before, and her face turned pale. Shen Sui threw the maid to the ground and looked at the old lady and said, "I hope mother will listen to my words and not put me and Yan'er in an unkind and unjust situation."
After saying this, Shen Sui walked away.
The old lady's hands holding the Buddhist beads were shaking.
Shen Sui didn't say it explicitly, but when he found Shen Yan, he even hid it from her. It was obvious that he suspected that Shen Yan's disappearance was caused by the second wife, and he no longer trusted the second wife.
They are brothers, all her flesh and blood. How could she believe that the Second Master would do such a thing as fratricide?
