Chapter 234 Concern
A good night's sleep.
When Shen Tang woke up early in the morning, she sat on the bed and stretched. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong brought a copper basin into the room to help her get up.
After having breakfast with Xie Guimo, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Wutong Courtyard to pay his respects to the old lady.
As he walked around the screen and into the house, he received several surprised looks. Shen Tang thought he was not dressed properly or that there was something dirty on his face. Shen Tang asked, "Why is Fourth Aunt looking at me like that?"
The fourth wife laughed and said, "I saw the prince carrying you back to Chenxiangxuan yesterday. I thought you had sprained your ankle and couldn't come to pay your respects to the old lady today."
Shen Tang blushed and inwardly greeted Xie Guimo. Just as he was about to explain, the Second Wife said, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a good relationship, but there are still many unmarried girls in the mansion. You newlyweds can act as much as you want in your own room, but you'd better be more careful outside."
The second and fourth wives were both born to the old lady.
Listening to the second wife's words, Shen Tang glanced at the girls, all of whom blushed.
The Second Wife's words were too explicit, much more explicit than when Xie Guimo hugged her.
Shen Tang couldn't refute it, so she could only nod with a blushing face, "I think so too, but my husband won't listen. I'll ask Second Aunt to help me scold my husband later..."
This was what Shen Tang was thinking from the bottom of his heart, but it was obvious that the Second Wife did not think so, and her expression darkened slightly.
The second wife believed that Shen Tang was mocking her for picking on the weak, and she didn't dare to criticize Xie Guimo, so she blamed her.
The second wife took a sip of tea and said nothing more.
Shen Tang stepped forward, bowed to the old lady, and then said, "I'm going back home today, and my husband asked me to go back early, so I'll take my leave now."
The old lady raised her eyelids lazily, and Shen Tang turned and left.
When they returned to Chenxiangxuan, the maid in the front yard came to report that the carriage was ready, so Xie Guimo accompanied Shen Tang back home.
In his previous life, after Xie Guimo recovered from his injury, he accompanied her back home, let alone now.
Well, not only did he accompany Shen Tang back home, he also accompanied him back in the carriage.
Xie Guimo got on the carriage and held Shen Tang in his arms. Shen Tang said, "I went to pay my respects today and was scolded. Why don't you behave yourself?"
Xie Guimo frowned, "What am I scolding you for?"
Shen Tang said, "When you carried me back from the garden yesterday..."
Xie Guimo said, "You sprained your ankle. If I don't hold you, do I have to carry you on my back?"
Shen Tang, "..."
You can help her.
Besides, she didn't really sprain her ankle.
Xie Guimo said, "You don't have to pay attention to what they say."
She didn't want to pay attention, but the words were harsh.
Although the wives of the Jingyang Palace were not as vicious and cruel as the Second Wife, none of them were worry-free. In addition, in their previous life, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Ye were in cahoots with each other, so they had to be on guard.
Shen Tang wanted to sit back down, but Xie Guimo pressed her waist and said, "Just sit like this. I'm not doing anything."
He didn't do anything, but she could talk while sitting beside him.
But Xie Guimo refused to let go, and Shen Tang couldn't break free. She was also afraid of getting her skirt wrinkled or her hair messed up, so she had no choice but to go along with him.
But soon, Xie Guimo regretted it. Well, don't think about it in the wrong way. It was not that the posture was seductive, but when the carriage passed an intersection, a carriage from the side suddenly rushed towards it. The carriage could not avoid it completely and was hit. Shen Tang, who was sitting in the carriage, was caught off guard and bumped into Xie Guimo. His forehead hit his nose, and Xie Guimo gasped in pain.
Chen Qi rode over and asked, "Is the Crown Prince and Crown Princess okay?"
Shen Tang covered his forehead.
Xie Guimo asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Qidao said, "It's the carriage of the second branch of the Shen family..."
When Shen Tang lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw that the carriage that hit theirs had deviated from its course and hit a carriage belonging to a tea stall. This was the carriage that the Second Madam usually rode in.
Really haunted.
It was a happy day to visit my parents’ parents, but I encountered such bad luck.
Fortunately, the carriage of Prince Jingyang's Palace was sturdy. If it had been smashed, we would not be able to go back today.
The second wife's carriage crashed into a tea stall and the horse was forced to stop. The second wife got out of the carriage with disheveled hair and looked extremely embarrassed. When she saw that it was Shen Tang, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Although Shen Tang felt unlucky, seeing the Second Madam like this, he thought that unless the Second Madam didn't want to live, she wouldn't deliberately let her carriage hit them. If the Second Madam wanted to die, she could take all the blame and commit suicide that day. She might not be able to expel the entire Second House from the Marquis' Mansion.
The second wife cherishes her life very much.
But Shen Tang didn't believe that this was an accident.
Shen Tang was thinking about this when the embroidered handkerchief in his hand was snatched away. Shen Tang turned around and saw Xie Guimo with his head raised and bleeding from his nose.
Shen Tang was shocked. "How could the collision be so serious? I need to see a doctor."
Xie Guimo said, "It's not that serious, it will be fine in a while."
The carriage stopped in the middle of the road, blocking pedestrians. The servant continued to drive the carriage forward until it stopped in front of the gate of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Huan came out to greet her. Shen Tang got off first. Seeing her red forehead, Xiao Huan asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tang said, "The carriage was bumped by the second wife's carriage and accidentally hit my husband's nose."
The collision on the nose was so severe, how serious must the injury be to my brother-in-law?
Seeing Xie Guimo coming out with his nose covered, Xiao Huan asked, "Is my brother-in-law okay?"
Xie Guimo shook his head, "The bleeding has stopped."
Since they were back, they must go into the mansion, so Xiao Huan invited them in.
As they crossed the threshold, Shen Tang whispered to Xie Guimo, "You won't dare ride in a carriage next time."
The look on his face, as if he didn't listen to his wife and suffered a loss, made Xie Guimo's teeth itch. "You have no conscience. If I hadn't blocked it for you today, you would have crashed into the carriage."
If she hadn't insisted on holding her, her forehead wouldn't have hit the carriage at all.
However, considering the direction the carriage hit, her forehead was fine, but the back of her head was not spared.
But she hadn't offended many people, so who would be the one to make things difficult for them today? Shen Tang guessed all the way to Songhe Hall.
Inside the house, the old lady was sitting on the Luohan couch. Shen Sui, the third master, the fourth master, and the third and fourth wives were all there.
When she saw Shen Tang, she asked her what happened to her forehead. She had to explain again. When she heard that it was the second wife, the old lady's face became very long.
Shen Sui was also a little unhappy, but he didn't show it so obviously. "I'm glad you're okay. Let's have some tea."
There was no need to kneel down to serve tea, so the maid didn't prepare a cushion. After serving a round of tea, they sat down to talk.
But after a short chat, Xie Guimo and Xiao Huan left and went to Shen Sui's study to play chess. After Xie Guimo left, the old lady asked Shen Tang, "Are you used to living in the Jingyang Palace?"
Shen Tang nodded slightly.
Shen Luo said, "Second sister, you don't know, but Grandmother has been thinking about you these past two days. She's worried that since this is your first time leaving the Marquis' Mansion, you might not be used to living in the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion."
We are all experienced people and know what it feels like to marry into a strange place.
In his previous life, Shen Tang also took several days to adapt.
Shen Tang said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, grandma."
