Chapter 238 Justification
Shen Tang had no good feelings towards Madam Wang.
Now that she has lost her child, and she has used the baby in her belly to stir up trouble and demote the Wang family to nothing, the Prince of Changping is not a man who would cherish old ties. If Madam Wang is no longer useful, he will definitely abandon her like a worn-out shoe. In the future, Madam Wang will definitely suffer torture and live a life worse than death if she stays in the Wang family.
It is true that evil will be punished by evil.
……
The redness and swelling on my forehead from the collision lasted for a night, and when I woke up the next day, the redness and swelling had completely subsided, but it still hurt a little when I pressed hard.
After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Wutong Courtyard to pay his respects.
She paid her respects and left yesterday, so she had to stay a little longer today, otherwise, like in her previous life, people would say that she didn't want to be close to them.
But they couldn't really get close. Just as she was paying her respects to the old lady and her butt hadn't even touched the chair, the Second Mistress asked her, "Why did the Crown Prince beat the Second Young Master so hard yesterday?"
Although curiosity is human nature, the fact that it was not spread widely shows that he did not want others to know and had to ask her.
Shen Tang shook his head.
The second wife said unhappily, "Don't want to say it?"
Of course he didn't want to, but he certainly couldn't admit it. Shen Tang said, "I don't know either..."
The Fourth Wife was surprised, "Didn't you see the Crown Prince beating the Second Young Master? How could you not know?"
Shen Tang said, "I asked my husband, but he was angry and didn't tell me, so I didn't dare ask more. Concubine Jiang must know. She will come to pay her respects to the old lady later. You can ask her."
The Second Wife said, "Concubine Jiang knelt in the Buddhist temple for two hours. She won't be well for two or three days."
Shen Tang said, "If Second Aunt really wants to know, you can ask Concubine Jiang when you visit her."
This is not a pleasant thing to say. Concubine Jiang did injure her knee, but there is a big difference between being injured and being injured while kneeling. If someone is injured, you must visit him. But if you visit someone who is injured while kneeling, is it to gloat over his misfortune or because you think the prince's punishment is wrong?
She had never offended the Crown Prince's Consort before, right? Why was it that when the Crown Prince's Consort spoke to her, she always sounded sarcastic and gave her the feeling that she was scheming but had hidden ulterior motives?
The Second Madam stopped talking. The old lady glanced at Shen Tang, put down the teacup in her hand and said, "The Crown Prince and the Second Young Master are fighting at the Second Gate, and you, the Crown Prince's wife and eldest sister-in-law, are watching from the side without knowing how to stop them."
...Two martial artists were fighting, and she was asked to stop them while she was powerless. It was a good thing that the old lady had the guts to say that.
If you want to find fault with her, you can just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush.
Shen Tang said, "My husband and the Second Young Master are sparring, how can I stop them?"
The Second Wife laughed and said, "Is that a sparring match?"
A sense of vengeance came crashing down upon me.
The second master and Shen Sui are brothers, but Shen Sui, who was harmed for the title, almost had no descendants. The old lady of Jingyang Palace is the second wife, and the second and fourth masters Xie and the prince are not brothers, needless to say.
The second and fourth wives' favorite thing to do is to instigate Concubine Jiang to cause trouble for the princess. Shen Tang had seen this many times in his previous life.
Shen Tang's long eyelashes trembled. "I don't understand the fight. If my husband says it is, then it must be."
As the Crown Prince's Consort, and a newly married Crown Prince, she always puts her husband first in everything, and no one can say anything wrong about her.
With just one sentence, the second wife was left speechless.
Shen Tang still felt that this was not enough. "Although I don't know why my husband beat the Second Young Master, after the beating, Concubine Jiang complained to my father. My father didn't punish my husband, but instead punished Concubine Jiang. It's obvious who is right and who is wrong. But Second Aunt's words sound like she is defending the Second Young Master and Concubine Jiang."
The Second Madam was actually helping Concubine Jiang and Xie Guiyin, but Shen Tang directly exposed her thoughts, and the Second Madam didn't dare to admit it. She laughed and said, "Second Aunt didn't mean that. There are rumors in the mansion that the prince beat the Second Young Master because of you. Second Aunt asked about it because she was thinking about you. After all, you just came in, and they brothers have a grudge because of you, which is not good for your reputation."
What a thoughtful person.
Shen Tang said calmly, "I didn't know that yesterday was the first time my husband and the Second Young Master had a fight..."
I don't know why they fought, but they just put the blame on her and made her take the blame for fratricide. But what about before? She hadn't married into the family before, so was there no fighting?
The second wife didn't expect that Shen Tang, who looked gentle, would be so sharp-tongued, leaving her speechless several times.
The old lady said, "Well, since the prince has dealt with this matter, there is no need to talk about it anymore."
If she hadn't said this earlier, the Second Madam would have come out to play dirty since she was at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, the princess didn't come today, and there was no one to support her. It was really boring to stay here, so Shen Tang prepared to go back.
But when she was about to leave, the maid brought tea over and the old lady asked, "Has the wedding date been set for the Crown Princess's brother and Princess Roujia?"
Shen Tang raised his butt, but when the old lady asked him questions, he had to put it back down.
Shen Tang said, "It was decided yesterday. I will marry Princess Roujia on the 28th of this month."
The Third Wife laughed and said, "I never thought that the Prince of Ning, who is so talented in both civil and military affairs, is actually the elder brother of the Crown Princess. Having such a brother is truly enviable."
The Second Wife said, "It's a pity that we didn't grow up together, so I'm afraid our relationship won't be deep."
As soon as the Second Madam opened her mouth, not to mention Shen Tang, even Ginkgo who was standing behind Shen Tang wanted to cover the Second Madam's mouth. She hadn't said a word since she came in.
Isn't it true that if you spoil the interest of her family's Crown Prince's Consort, you will die young?
Shen Tang didn't say anything, just chuckled.
The fourth wife asked, "What is the Crown Princess laughing at?"
Shen Tang said, "I'm not laughing at anything. I just wanted to refute Second Aunt, but I felt it was unnecessary. After all, whether my relationship with my eldest brother is good or not has nothing to do with others."
"I don't need to convince anyone else of our brotherly love."
The Second Wife's face was already bad, and now it looked even uglier.
Her words were unpleasant, and Shen Tang was too lazy to respond, which made her seem nosy and had bad intentions.
Shen Tang's light laugh without saying anything was more irritating than a lot of words.
"Let's have tea."
The old lady spoke again indifferently.
Shen Tang picked up the teacup and took a sip, but the taste in his mouth seemed slightly bitter, different from what he had tasted before.
Shen Tang was cautious and poured the tea onto the handkerchief. Then he stood up and said, "Nothing else. I'll go back first."
The old lady did not keep her, so Shen Tangfu took his leave.
After leaving Wutong Courtyard, Ginkgo looked around and confirmed that no one was around. He couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that the Second Madam is not a good person..."
The second wife in the mansion is cruel and ruthless, and the second wife in Prince Jingyang's mansion is probably not much better.
Shen Tang also felt that he was unlucky enough not to have a good second aunt, but, "You can't generalize. Second aunt is a good person."
Ginkgo had no way of refutation and was already secretly hoping that Shen Tang and Xie Guimo would expel the second branch of the Jingyang Palace as well.
Back at Chenxiangxuan, Shen Tang went to the study to find Xie Guimo and handed the embroidered handkerchief to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi was a little confused and a little panicked.
He didn't dare take the Crown Prince's wife's embroidered handkerchief.
Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang, "What's wrong with the embroidered handkerchief?"
Shen Tang said, "The tea in the old lady's room tasted different from the tea in my previous life. I was worried that there was something wrong, so I poured some on the embroidered handkerchief and asked Chen Qi to find a doctor to check it out."
