Chapter 219 Rescheduling
Chapter 219 Rescheduling
The Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion has already removed the second branch from the family tree. No matter what crime Shen Xian committed, they are not implicated. Shen Xian cuckolded the King of Qi, and Shen Tang would not help the King of Qi to take it off for no reason, but it is obvious that the old lady does not want the second branch to fall into an irretrievable situation.
If the old lady were to think of aborting the baby in Shen Xi's belly, she would be dragging the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion into the grave with the second wife.
Although things may be done airtight, what if?
Does the old lady dare to gamble?
If you don't have the courage, don't worry about it.
If Shen Tang hadn't been afraid that the old lady couldn't bear it, he wouldn't have been willing to say it so tactfully.
Sometimes I think it's really not worth it. The second wife can do things without caring about anyone, so why should she care about this and that? The old lady favors the second wife and has not made any demands on her for so many years. Even the punishment is just a lot of noise but little action. The ambition of the second wife was all indulged by the old lady.
Thinking of this, Shen Tang's expression turned a little colder, and he couldn't help but say something, "Father, my eldest brother, and I don't need grandma to worry about us. If grandma really can't help but miss the second wife, then she can move in with her. Otherwise, if she stays in the mansion thinking about the second wife and becomes sick with worry, then it would be unfilial of father."
The old lady's face froze and quickly turned cold.
The maids in the room looked at each other. Mother Wang stood aside, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
The Second Master is the flesh and blood of the Old Lady. It is impossible to ask the Old Lady to not care about the Second House's life or death. But the Old Lady asked the wrong person. The Second House and the Second Miss have a blood feud of killing their brother and harming their mother. Caring about the Second House in front of the Second Miss is like walking into the Second Miss's trap. It's only because the Second Miss has a good temper and speaks in a restrained manner. If it were someone else, they might say something very unpleasant.
However, the old lady couldn't ask anyone else about this matter except the second young lady. In the final analysis, she still couldn't figure it out.
Mother Wang said, "Second Miss, you've been tired all day. Go back and rest."
Shen Tang didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed and turned away.
After leaving Songhe Hall, Ginkgo looked around and said, "The old lady is really..."
Ginkgo wanted to say something bad about the old lady, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Shen Tang said, "From now on, the old lady won't dare to mention the second wife in front of me."
After so long, the old lady should know her temper. If she says something, she will do it.
When she said this, it meant that she had reached the point where she could no longer tolerate it. This time it was just her saying it, but the next time it would be her father.
Once she moved to the second house, unless she came back on her own, the only possibility for her father to pick her up would be to take her back home to attend the funeral.
The reputation of the Second House is now ruined and there is the risk of losing their heads at any time. Will the old lady be willing to give up the glory and wealth of the Marquis' Mansion and live and die with the Second House?
If you don't want to, just think less about the second wife in the future, especially don't mention her in front of her.
Her second brother's whereabouts were still unknown, and there was no news at all. When she thought of the second wife, she wanted to make trouble for her. What was wrong with the old lady's head that she thought she would care about the second wife's life or death and asked her about these things?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Shen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden with a lot of anger. When he entered the yard and saw Fuling guarding outside the door, he knew that there was someone in the house.
Xie Guimo came to the Marquis's mansion to celebrate his birthday. He didn't say a word to Shen Tang. After leaving the mansion through the main gate, he climbed over the wall and entered the mansion again. He thought Shen Tang would be back soon, but she didn't show up for a long time. When he saw her again, Shen Tang looked unhappy. He asked, "Who made you unhappy?"
Shen Tang said, "Don't mention it. It's my grandmother who always cares about the second wife..."
If it were someone else, Xie Guimo would have been able to beat him up, but it was the old lady who made Shen Tang unhappy, so Xie Guimo was helpless and couldn't help Shen Tang vent his anger.
But if it doesn't work straight, it's still possible to take a detour. "Should I send someone to beat up Mr. Shen Er?"
Shen Tang looked at him and said, "Don't beat him to death."
Xie Guimo, "..."
Xie Guimo pinched Shen Tang's nose and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
He hugged Shen Tang and said, "Don't be angry. You've been in your Pingyuan Marquis Mansion for a long time without saying a word. Come and talk to me for a while."
Shen Tang nodded slightly, shaking off the unhappiness in his heart.
Xie Guimo liked Shen Tang to sit in his arms and talk. Shen Tang didn't know when this guy developed this habit, but after being hugged so many times, she almost got used to it.
Thinking that she was already twenty-seven today and that she would marry him next month, Shen Tang said, "You are going to marry me in the middle of next month, right?"
Xie Guimo nodded, "Otherwise, the mansion has been busy with the return of the clan banquet these days, and the invitation gifts have all been sent."
Shen Tang asked, "Are all three dates in the middle of the month?"
"Ah."
"Twelve, sixteen, and eighteen."
This day is really well chosen.
Shen Tang said, "Let's change it to the second half of the month."
Xie Guimo's handsome brows furrowed, "Why do you want to change it to the end of the month?"
If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't enough time in the first half of the month, he would have postponed it to the next half of the month. If there wasn't a reasonable reason, he would have to punish her.
Shen Tang's ears flushed, "You, just change to the second half of the month..."
"If you don't tell me, I won't change."
He might not change even if you tell him, let alone say nothing.
His eyes were determined, as if he was going to get to the bottom of this. Shen Tang blushed deeply, "Can't you just not ask me and listen to me?"
Xie Guimo laughed when he heard this, "Do you think I'm so obedient?"
……No.
It will never happen.
Shen Tang stopped talking.
Xie Guimo didn't intend to let Shen Tang get away with it. He pressed on, "Go ahead."
Shen Tang's cheeks flushed, and his voice was as low as the hum of a mosquito or fly, "My good days happened to be during those days..."
Xie Guimo didn't understand for a moment. When he reacted, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his voice was floating, "No way?"
The purpose of asking the bride to choose an auspicious date by sending the gift is to avoid those days.
He is so good, there are so many days in a month to choose from, but he chose those days.
Who would choose auspicious days so close together? There should be at least seven or eight days between each day, and some even have a month between them.
A certain gentleman had received instruction in this regard a few months ago. If not, he wouldn't have endured so much hardship. After finally reaching the stage of getting married, he still had to endure another ordeal. Good things take time, but they are not so torturous.
Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo anxiously, "You should change it to the second half of the month."
In her previous life, her wedding night was unhappy. In this life, they loved each other and she was willing to marry him. Naturally, she hoped that the wedding night could be normal.
Looking at Shen Tang's cool and misty eyes, a certain gentleman felt his back teeth itching, "No!"
Shen Tang looked at him, "If you don't change..."
You can't have sex at that time.
Absolutely not.
Xie Guimo said, "I'll be able to feel at ease only if I marry you back soon. As for consummating the marriage..."
These two words were squeezed out from between his teeth. "I'm not in a hurry! I've endured it for several months, and the last few days won't make a difference!"
Thinking about his previous life, it wasn't just a few months, they only slept together once after four years of marriage and lived under the same roof. He was actually still alive to inherit the title and go to the battlefield. Xie Guimo admired himself.
Shen Tang also felt that he was fine and regretted bringing up this topic. She wanted to say something else, but just as she was about to speak, Xie Guimo thought of something and hugged her to sit aside. "I'll go back to the mansion and ask if we can move the wedding date forward a few days."
Before he finished speaking, the person was no longer in the room.
Shen Tang, "..."
We agreed there’s no rush.
……
As soon as Princess Jingyang returned to her courtyard and stepped onto the steps, her maid said, "Princess, the Crown Prince is here."
I disappeared after I came out of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and I thought he had run away somewhere.
Princess Jingyang turned around and saw Xie Guimo walking towards her in a hurry. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Guimo coughed lightly and said, "The dates I picked before were not good. I will get married on the eighth day of next month."
Princess Jingyang, “…???”
Didn’t he choose those three dates himself? Why are they not good again?
Princess Jingyang said, "The eighth day is a good date, but we can't hold a wedding banquet on that day."
Xie Guimo frowned, "Why can't it be done?"
Princess Jingyang frowned, "Aren't you having a drink with the Xuanyi Marquis's son today? Didn't you know he's going to marry the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion on the eighth day of next month?"
Xie Guimo, "..."
He really didn't know about this.
Not to mention that Xie Guimo didn't know, Chu Yi didn't know either. He only knew that he would get married at the beginning of next month, but he didn't know the specific date and didn't feel embarrassed to ask.
Although Chu Yi's marriage to Yun Yi on that day did not prevent Xie Guimo from marrying Shen Tang, the civil and military officials were too busy to attend two weddings in one day. Since they were having a wedding, they naturally had to make it grand and lively. Knowing that the Xuanyi Marquis' Mansion was holding a wedding on that day, they deliberately chose that day, which clearly showed that they were deliberately opposing the Xuanyi Marquis' Mansion.
This kind of thing must not be done.
Not to mention that the relationship between Prince Jingyang's Mansion and Marquis Xuanyi's Mansion is quite good. Even if there is no friendship, they should not do such a thing that would cause trouble to others.
Xie Guimo could only reschedule, "Then on the sixth day."
Princess Jingyang, "..."
The maids all covered their mouths and laughed.
How anxious is the prince to marry a princess?
Princess Jingyang couldn't help but laugh. She had never seen her son so anxious before, but as a mother, she was helpless. "I do want Second Miss Shen to marry sooner, but the Marquis of Pingyuan needs to agree. It took me a long time to agree to it in the middle of the month, and you still want it so early. You should be patient and wait a few more days."
The princess has said several times that she wants to marry Shen Tang as soon as possible, and Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion also wants to agree, but the embroiderers in the mansion are too busy. The dowry prepared before has been given to Shen Ying, and Shen Tang has to prepare it again. The embroidery room has been busy day and night these days. The princess wants to hold the wedding next month. The fourth and third wives discussed it and decided that even if the embroidery room is too busy, it will not be able to catch up, so they can only hand over part of the embroidery work to the shop outside the mansion, which is barely enough.
Shen Xian is not the daughter of the eldest son, and her dowry is so generous. She must not let Shen Tang down. Although the princess has repeatedly said that those things are not lacking in the Jingyang Palace, and it is not too late to buy them after she marries in, the old lady feels that such a thing cannot be done. There is no way to get a wedding for good luck, and if it is too late, you can only make do with it. No one will say anything. Now the Prince of Jingyang is doing very well, and the marriage will only be delayed ten days or half a month, not a year or two.
The Princess had nothing to say about the orderly preparations made by the Marquis of Pingyuan's Mansion, but she felt that her son was being too impatient.
