Chapter 367 Bamboo House
Chapter 367 Bamboo House
But even with the preparations, it was enough for the poor people to suffer, and there were also earthquakes in the spring...
Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt a little depressed.
Humans are too insignificant in the face of natural disasters.
Xie Guimo knew that Shen Tang was kind, so he used words to divert her attention, and soon the carriage returned to Prince Jingyang's Mansion.
Just as he reached the gate of Chenxiangxuan Courtyard, he heard a shout from behind, "Brother..."
It was Xie Guili, the fourth young master of the third house.
He trotted over and said, "Brother is back from accompanying sister-in-law."
Xie Guimo asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Guili said, "Today is Second Brother's birthday. We brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, and Big Brother can't be absent."
Among the young masters in the mansion, Xie Guiyin has a good relationship with them, but Xie Guimo has a much weaker relationship with them.
But it was Xie Guiyin's birthday, and all the young masters in the mansion were there, so Xie Guimo couldn't refuse.
Although he and Xie Guiyin had a weak relationship, they were still brothers after all, and he couldn't deny him any face.
Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang and said, "I can only eat with you tonight."
Xie Guili said, "Sister-in-law can also go together."
Shen Tang smiled and said, "You brothers are drinking and chatting, I won't go."
Xie Guili almost pulled Xie Guimo away.
Shen Tang returned to his room and drank a cup of tea. The maid brought the food and Shen Tang sat down to eat.
The small kitchen probably didn't know that today was Xie Guiyin's birthday, so they prepared Xie Guimo's meal, seven dishes and a soup. Shen Tang was afraid that the child would grow too big, so he consciously controlled his eating and ate half a plate of vegetables when he came to the table. Ginkgo saw this and said, "Why is the Crown Prince's Consort eating so many vegetables? Eat more meat. Only by eating meat can the little prince and princess grow well."
Shen Tang said, "The child is too big to give birth to."
Ginkgo didn't understand these things. When she thought about the difficulty of giving birth, she was afraid of dystocia, so she quickly said, "Then eat less."
I ate half of the vegetables, then the meat, and reduced my rice by two bites. After lunch, I took a few walks in the yard.
In the previous life, the child could not be kept, but the pain of miscarriage was enough for Shen Tang to endure. Shen Tang really couldn't imagine how painful it would be to give birth at full term, but the child was already in her belly, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and give birth.
After walking for a while, Shen Tang felt a little tired and went to sleep.
After sleeping for half an hour, Ginkgo woke her up, fearing that Shen Tang had slept too long during the day and would not be able to sleep at night. Although such things rarely happened, it was not advisable to sleep too long.
Shen Tang got out of bed and asked, "Is the prince back?"
"not yet."
Shen Tang said, "Not yet?"
Does it take so long just to eat?
Ginkgo also felt that it was taking too long. "How about I send someone to ask?"
Ginkgo called Si'er in and said, "Go and see if the prince is drunk."
Si'er was bewildered, "Where can we go?"
Ginkgo said, "Of course we're going to the Second Young Master's yard."
Si Er replied, "The prince is not with the second young master."
Ginkgo said, "Ah," "Not here?"
Si'er nodded, "The prince stayed at the second young master's place for a while, and then the prince sent someone to call the prince away. I don't know where he went."
She said that the meal wouldn't take that long, and it turned out that she was called away by the prince.
Normally, if the prince wants to see Xie Guimo for something, Xie Guimo may not go, but if he wants to meet the prince and have dinner with Xie Guiyin and others, Xie Guimo will definitely choose to meet the prince.
Shen Tang felt relieved. Fortunately, he had just heard that Xie Guimo had not returned yet. He was still a little uneasy, but he was worried too much.
Qiu Tong helped Shen Tang put on her clothes and combed her hair which was messed up due to sleeping.
Just as she finished combing her hair, Si'er came running in. The little maid, who was usually very quick and efficient, opened her mouth twice but couldn't utter a word.
Ginkgo saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Er swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Jiang Biao and the Third Young Master, they..."
Si'er couldn't find the words to describe what had happened, and hurried to report, blushing and saying bluntly, "They slept together."
Shen Tang, "..."
This is really rough.
The speaker blushes, and the listeners also blush.
Shen Tang asked, "How could this happen?"
Si Er said, "It seems that Miss Jiang Biao couldn't hold her liquor. She drank two glasses of wine. The maid helped her out. When they reached the bamboo house in the garden, she couldn't carry her any further, so she went inside to rest for a while and then went to find someone to help. I don't know how the Third Young Master went to the bamboo house, and then..."
"Unfortunately, the maid was unfamiliar with the palace and got lost. By the time she went to look for someone, the matter was already settled."
It's really a mess.
The second young master's fiancée had physical contact with the third young master. Wouldn't it be awkward for them to live under the same roof in the future?
But how could this happen?
Although Shen Tang had no good feelings towards the second branch of the Jingyang Palace, the third young master Xie Guian was not the kind of person who would mess around in the bamboo house in the garden. There must be some hidden agenda behind this.
Si'er said, "I'll go and take another look."
"Go."
This maid is an expert at finding out gossips, and she probably knows more than Shen Tang would if he went there himself.
It’s better not to join in such a lively atmosphere.
Shen Tang really wanted to go, but she held herself back. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that today's birthday celebration was a setup.
Concubine Jiang was willing to sacrifice her own son's marriage to save her niece's life, but Xie Guiyin might not agree. By pushing Jiang Hui'er to other young masters in the palace, he could save Jiang Hui'er's life without sacrificing himself, and everyone was happy.
Although there is no evidence, it is obvious that the second master is the murderer of Jiang Huier's father. This makes it interesting.
Previously, the princess refused to let Jiang Huier live in the palace because she had no status. But now that Jiang Huier and Xie Guian have had physical contact, the marriage can no longer be delayed and will be held soon.
Although both are daughters-in-law of the Jingyang Palace, it is better for Jiang Huier to marry the third young master than Xie Guiyin.
If she really marries Xie Guiyin, she will have to wait a hundred years after the prince and princess' death before she can get a share of the palace. The daughter-in-law of the second wife will be separated from the second wife.
The garden was in a mess.
Xie Guiyin was so happy on his birthday that he got drunk.
Xie Guili also lay on the table.
Knowing that something happened to Xie Guian and Jiang Huier, the Second Wife and Concubine Jiang rushed over and saw messy clothes on the floor, bloodshot on the bed, and Jiang Huier huddled in a corner crying with a pale face.
The second wife felt like the sky was falling.
Even though the Jiang family was not confiscated and exiled, the second wife felt that Jiang Huier was not worthy of her son. What's more, the Jiang family was gone. How could a girl like this be worthy of marrying her son?
But Jiang Huier is Concubine Jiang's niece, and given the relationship between the prince and the Jiang family, she will definitely force her son to give Jiang Huier the position of legal wife.
Besides, it's not a good reputation for a cousin to touch his cousin's fiancée.
The Second Wife felt her son was being plotted against, but she had no evidence, so she could only suppress her anger and investigate further, "What on earth is going on? Wasn't he drinking at the Second Young Master's place? Why did he come to the bamboo house?!"
