Chapter 237 Accident
As Xie Guimo spoke, he sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and smelled the tea. His expression made it clear that if you want to break your son's arm, just insist, and I will definitely grant your wish.
Concubine Jiang was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Your Highness, it's fine if the prince threatens me, but he dares to threaten you too!"
Xie Guimo stretched out his arm. "I want to slander my second brother. I'll give him this arm. I'm not afraid of it. But do you dare to insist that father investigate thoroughly?"
With a look of contempt, Concubine Jiang opened her mouth but didn't dare to utter a word.
Xie Guimo knocked the teacup in his hand heavily onto the small table, which frightened Concubine Jiang's heart so much that it started pounding. The princess was reasonable, but the prince was a ruthless person. If he was unhappy, he would just throw the teacup at her.
Xie Guimo said coldly, "He used a knife to kill someone. I wanted to show mercy and beat him up, but he didn't repent and went to my father to make trouble, hoping to turn the tables. If he doesn't give me an explanation for what happened today, I will beat him so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."
After saying this, Xie Guimo got up and left.
After Xie Guimo left the room, Concubine Jiang dared to speak, "Your Majesty, look at him..."
The prince picked up the official document and said coldly, "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel for two hours."
Concubine Jiang's face turned pale. She couldn't believe what she heard and stamped her feet in anger, "Your Highness!"
The prince's eyes were a little impatient. "One arm is betting on another arm. Mo'er dares to bet, why don't you dare?"
Concubine Jiang avoided looking at him.
The prince said, "This matter has already passed, but you refuse to let it go. If you don't kneel, wait for Mo'er to beat Yin'er."
Concubine Jiang's eyes turned red with anger, "Your Highness, you just let the Crown Prince bully Yin'er like this?!"
The prince's eyes turned cold instantly when he looked at the memorial. Concubine Jiang felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't dare to say another word and walked away with a look of grievance on her face.
Inside the house, Shen Tang sat there eating fruit. Ginkgo was a little worried, "The prince beat up the second young master. Will the prince punish him?"
Shen Tang said, "No."
The tone was firm.
Ginkgo asked, "Are you so sure, Princess?"
After all, I have spent several years in the Jingyang Palace. If I don’t have this little confidence, it would be a waste of time.
Because the prince was drunk, he had to marry his cousin, Concubine Jiang. The prince felt guilty towards both the princess and Concubine Jiang. Normally, when Concubine Jiang and the prince had a conflict, the prince would avoid it if he could. If he couldn't avoid it, he would just deal with it fairly and impartially. This was also the case in the matter of Xie Guimo and Xie Guiyin.
The prince will not favor anyone, nor will he listen to one side of the story. Concubine Jiang's tricks are no match for Xie Guimo. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Jiang is the prince's cousin and the Jiang family's kindness to the prince, Concubine Jiang would have died countless times.
Thinking about how Xie Guimo was plotted against by Concubine Ye and the Second Prince in his previous life, and how the Jingyang Palace ended up falling into the hands of Concubine Jiang and her son, Shen Tang felt a surge of frustration in his heart.
Seeing that Shen Tang was not worried at all, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong felt relieved.
After Xie Guimo finished eating the fruit in his hand, he returned. As soon as he entered the room, the maid came in and panted, "My Lord, the prince has punished Concubine Jiang to kneel in the Buddhist temple for two hours..."
I have never seen anyone asking for trouble like this. Xie Guimo didn't want to make a big deal out of things on the third day of their marriage, so he only beat Xie Guiyin as a small punishment and a big warning. Concubine Jiang didn't keep a low profile and even dared to make accusations. She must have lived too comfortably, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't make herself unhappy.
After the maid finished her report and left, another maid came in and stood outside the bead curtain and said, "Master and Consort, the princess is here."
Shen Tang quickly stood up, and Xie Guimo put down the teacup he had picked up. The two of them went out to greet the princess. Just as they reached the beaded curtain, the princess came in and asked Xie Guimo, "What happened? Why did you fight with the Second Young Master?"
Xie Guimo said, "My second brother helped me with a small favor, so I gave him some guidance as a thank you."
The princess glared at Xie Guimo and said, "Mother is not so easy to fool."
If Mo'er needed the Second Young Master's help with something, the Second Young Master would not be so kind as to beat him up as a thank you.
Knowing that the princess was not easy to deceive, and since she had come to Chenxiangxuan to ask, he would definitely ask for clarification before leaving. Xie Guimo said, "I went to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion this morning and was hit by an out-of-control carriage on the street. That carriage was the work of my second brother."
The princess's face darkened. She looked at Shen Tang's slightly red and swollen forehead and asked, "Is this how you got this injury?"
Shen Tang nodded lightly, "It's nothing serious, mother, don't worry."
The princess said, "Fortunately, nothing serious is wrong."
Shen Tang and Xie Guimo were both fine, and after beating Xie Guiyin and punishing Concubine Jiang, the princess didn't say anything else. However, the second young master used a knife to kill someone, and Concubine Jiang even complained to the prince, asking him to punish Xie Guimo. The princess was not worried, she glanced at Nanny Yun.
Nanny Yun understood and sent a maid to watch over the Buddhist temple after leaving Chenxiangxuan.
Without anyone watching, Concubine Jiang would not kneel obediently for two hours. She was sneaky and evasive even when she was punished to kneel, and ignored the prince's punishment. The princess could just punish her to kneel for another two hours.
Concubine Jiang knelt on the futon, gritting her teeth in anger. She had not found out who told Xie Guimo, and she had fallen into trouble herself. How could she not be angry?
After the princess left, Xie Guimo drank a cup of tea and then there was a knock on the window.
"Come in."
With a creak, the window opened and Chen Qi, who had gone to check on the son of the Marquis of Changping, returned.
Chen Qi stepped forward and said, "The Marquis of Changping is riding his horse in the street. He must be in a hurry to get to the Wang family."
"Wang family?" Shen Tang raised his voice.
Chen Qi nodded, "The eldest young lady of the Wang family fell on the bridge of the Wang family garden and lost the baby in her belly..."
No wonder the Prince of Changping was so anxious and flustered. He was drugged by Xie Guimo and was no longer able to move. He was the only son in the Changping Marquisate and the continuation of the family line depended entirely on him. The baby in the Wang family's eldest lady's belly was most likely his. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they had to ensure the safe birth. As a result, something went wrong. It would be strange if the Prince of Changping was not anxious.
But how could the eldest young lady of the Wang family be so careless? Because the Changping Marquis's Mansion attached great importance to her, the eldest young lady of the Wang family relied on the child in her belly to show off her power in the Wang family, and the entire Wang family dared not to speak out. The child was the eldest young lady of the Wang family's reliance, and she and the Wang family were extremely cautious. How could such an accident happen?
As Shen Tang thought about this, Chen Qi said, "Mrs. Wang's accident shouldn't be an accident..."
Shen Tang looked at him.
Chen Qi said, "Mrs. Shen went to the Wang family today. She had an accident on the street. She was disheveled and had injuries on her face. Mrs. Wang mocked her and she fell in the garden in less than half an hour."
The Second Wife is a cruel person. She tolerated the cuckolding of Young Master Wang by Madam Wang, but she did not dare to offend the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Now Shen Xi is pregnant with the child of the Marquis of Changping's son. Of course, an only child is a rare treasure.
With the child in Shen Xi's belly, the Prince of Changping will not do anything to her and the Wang family. Even so, why should he tolerate the eldest young lady of the Wang family?
The Wang family has had enough of the humiliation they have endured in the past few months.
When Mrs. Wang fell, not only did she lose the baby in her belly, she also suffered heavy bleeding. The Wang family was afraid that they would not be able to explain to the Prince of Changping, so they immediately invited a doctor to the house. Fortunately, she was able to save her life, but it was only her life that was saved. She would never be able to get pregnant again.
