In the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, news about the Peony Garden always spreads the fastest.
When the news that Tang Cheng kept the two maids sent by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo spread quickly, everyone in the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion was incredulous. It seemed that the Fourth Young Lady wanted to keep Master Wen's child, and those who secretly wanted to see Tang Cheng continue to commit suicide were disappointed.
Just a little bit... just a little bit...
This coral is too weak.
Lady Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Nanyang, who lived in the main courtyard, listened to her trusted nanny Nanny Chen reporting the news about the Peony Garden. Her expression did not change at all as she was concerned about Tang Cheng's behavior of keeping two maids without her permission. Zhang used to be angry and unwilling, but later she came to terms with it. A girl who had lost her mother, and was a concubine's daughter, could not threaten the status of her two children and would get married sooner or later. Why bother? The Marquis could spoil her as he pleased.
Therefore, apart from not following the Marquis's order to record Tang Cheng as a nominal legitimate daughter, Zhang also turned a blind eye to Tang Cheng's every move. Her behavior made the Marquis very satisfied, and he also thought highly of her two children, which was truly an unexpected surprise.
Zhang was a smart person. From then on, she followed the Marquis's wishes and ignored Tang Cheng anymore. She never made things difficult for Tang Cheng regardless of what she wanted. She even let Tang Cheng choose the servants in the Peony Garden herself.
He focused all the hatred of everyone in the mansion and the backyard on Tang Cheng, and even secretly helped her block a lot of schemes, making Tang Cheng a dazzling target.
When attending the ladies' gathering, Zhang was still very helplessly "complaining" that the wife of a marquis could not discipline a concubine's daughter. Everyone felt very sympathetic towards Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Nanyang.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Marquis of Nanyang dotes on a spoiled and willful concubine's daughter.
Tang Xin, who was standing by, listened to her mother's trusted nanny talking about her fourth sister. The plot in the book emerged in her mind. The fourth sister was just a cannon fodder who was made miserable by the reborn heroine.
She clearly had a good hand, with a father who doted on her to the heavens, but she chose to commit suicide, and had a bad ending in both of her lives. In this life, the heroine was reborn, and her ending was even more miserable.
Not to mention the fourth sister, the original owner of this body later became an enemy of the heroine. She married a love-struck supporting actor who admired the reborn girl and helped the heroine torture her. Her fate was not much better.
Fortunately, she came here at the right time and had not yet had any intersection with the reborn heroine and the infatuated male supporting role.
She wanted to blend into the ancient times in a low-key manner, but she didn't want to marry the husband of the original owner in the reborn girl's memory, who was mediocre in everything except his family background, just to keep a low profile.
Tang Xin pursed her lips.
When she first read this novel about the heroine's rebirth and revenge, she liked Prince Wen in the book very much.
In the book, the fourth sister aborted Prince Wen's child under the instigation of Shanhu, the maid who betrayed her master. This was the beginning of her tragic fate. It would have been better if she had been wearing the fourth sister's clothes.
Prince Wen is a man of god-like level.
I really don't know what the author was thinking. In order to make readers feel united against a common enemy, she deliberately arranged such a plot. When she first read the book, she wished that Tang Cheng, who had defiled her male god, would be killed by the reborn heroine as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Tang Xin immediately wanted to meet this fourth sister. To be honest, it had been more than half a month since she came here, but she had not yet met this vain, arrogant and domineering fourth sister.
"Mom, I'm going to the Peony Garden to visit my fourth sister."
Talking about the origin of the name of the courtyard "Peony Garden", Tang Xin's eyes twitched. It was mentioned in the book that this name was chosen by the fourth sister herself. Because peony symbolizes wealth, the fourth sister liked peony and even learned to raise peonies to show off her elegance. However, every time she raised a peony, it died, and she was laughed at by many people.
Zhang couldn't help but frowned upon hearing this, and stopped him in a serious tone: "Xin'er, you and the fourth girl have always been at odds. Now is not the time for you to show your sisterly love. Don't get involved, or else if something happens to Tang Cheng, all the dirty and smelly things will be thrown at you."
Tang Cheng is pregnant with the Duke of Zhenguo's grandson. Unless someone is secretly instigating her to commit suicide, it is best not to do it herself. If the matter is discovered, she will not only have to face the wrath of the Marquis but also the revenge of the Duke of Zhenguo. It is not worth it.
"Madam is right. Miss, look at the other masters in the mansion. If anyone would go to the Peony Garden to see the Fourth Miss, it would be too late to avoid them." Nanny Chen also echoed Zhang's words.
There are countless eyes watching the Mudan Garden now, and they are constantly making small moves behind the scenes, especially the cousins from the second family of Prince Wen, who are eyeing the title of Duke Zhenguo. They wish that Prince Wen would never have an heir so that they can adopt their son. Otherwise, why would the wife of the Duke Zhenguo send two maids to protect the fourth lady's child
A concubine's daughter from a marquis's family who got pregnant before marriage, had a bad reputation and a disgraceful character. Who would care about her except for the piece of meat in her belly
Zhang explained the interests involved one by one, and Nanny Chen also supplemented her remarks.
Tang Xin was not stupid. After listening to the explanation from her mother and Nanny Chen, she almost broke out in a cold sweat. She was indeed too young. She had a golden finger for the plot and only knew that the fourth sister was madly in love with the fourth prince and even aborted Prince Wen's child. However, she didn't know that there were so many dark hands behind this.
So even if the fourth sister decided to keep Prince Wen's child, every step would still be dangerous. If she was not careful, she would lose her child.
Tang Xin now felt a little sympathy for her fourth sister, so he gave up the idea of going to visit her. He listened to Zhang's words and stayed in his own yard to tend to the flowers and plants.
Tang Xin's yard is full of flowers and full of vitality. All this is thanks to Tang Xin's golden finger - the plant-related ability.
This is Tang Xin’s confidence and biggest secret.
"Miss, this morning the fourth young lady sent someone to say that she wants the tricolor peony you just cultivated."
Tang Xin's maid Jinshu hesitated for a while, then stepped forward cautiously to convey the Fourth Young Lady's words.
Tang Xin's pretty face sank.
With just a few words, the fourth sister wanted to take away the mutated tricolor peony that she had worked so hard to cultivate using her plant-related supernatural powers for half a month. She had such a big appetite, so she would not indulge her.
"Who spread the news that I cultivated tricolor peonies?"
"I don't know."
"Go and check it out!" Tang Xin lowered her eyes. The fact that she cultivated the tricolor peony was a secret. She didn't expect that it would be leaked out. Who knows, the reborn heroine might already know about it.
I hope I didn't arouse Liu Jintong's suspicion.
Tang Xin didn't want to confront the heroine at all. In the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Tang Cheng was the only one who had a grudge against the heroine, and Tang Xin didn't want to get involved.
"Yes, ma'am."
Jinshu left immediately.
At this time, Tang Xin had no intention of using her plant-related abilities to nurture the precious flowers in the yard. She decided to hide the tricolor peony and get rid of Tang Cheng by surprise to prevent her biased father the Marquis from coming to ask for it.
… …
Tang Cheng, who had just replaced his core, was so focused on raising the baby that he had long forgotten what the original owner had done in the morning, leaving Tang Xin feeling as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
At this time, Tang Cheng was eating fresh fruits while silently planning her future in her heart. No matter in her past life or this life, Tang Cheng was a spoiled young lady who lived a flamboyant and wanton life.
However, one must have the capital to be unbridled. Tang Cheng narrowed his eyes and decided to resume physical training after giving birth to the baby.
It's too insecure to have no power to rely on.
This body has good physical talent, comparable to her original talent, and Tang Cheng is very satisfied.
I really don't know what the original owner was thinking. He had clearly read her memory and could practice physical skills, but he was dazzled by the imperial technological civilization in her memory. He abandoned his doting father the Marquis and the baby in her belly and happily went to reincarnate.
Tang Cheng found it hard to understand.
However, before practicing physical skills, you must first strengthen your physical fitness.
Tang Cheng did what he thought. After eating the delicious and fresh fruits, he immediately asked Zhenzhu to get the paper and calligraphy. Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard it, but she didn't say anything and directly took the things that the young lady treated as decorations to Tang Cheng.
"Miss, are you going to practice calligraphy?"
Pearl asked curiously.
It's embarrassing to say that the young lady has studied with the female teacher for so many years, but apart from recognizing all the characters, her handwriting is not even as good as that of a six-year-old child, not to mention other talents.
Everyone outside knows that the fourth illegitimate daughter of the Nanyang Marquis's mansion is uneducated, a spoiled and willful fool.
Now the young lady who usually hates studying suddenly wants paper and calligraphy. Pearl can't help but feel happy and wonder if the young lady is going to make progress.
"No, I suddenly thought of a particularly useful medicine recipe. I'll write it down later. You go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. I'll make the medicine."
Tang Cheng replied casually, picked up the brush and wrote down the herbs she was going to use crookedly. She was not used to her current weak body at all. A weak mother would affect the baby's qualifications.
This strengthening potion is the only potion that Tang Cheng knows how to make. In the Interstellar Empire, the strengthening potion is the most popular and best-selling potion, and it is also a must-have potion for pregnant women.
Tang Cheng was glad that he learned how to make body-strengthening potions out of curiosity.
Now it comes in handy.
When Pearl heard that the young lady was going to make some potion again with some strange prescription that she got from somewhere, she was almost scared to death and her face turned pale.
Both Madam Cao and Madam Gao's faces changed. They knew Tang Cheng's personality very well before they came. It was not easy for this troublemaker to decide to keep the prince's child. They breathed a sigh of relief, but now they were worried again.
I really can't hold out too much hope.
"Fourth Miss, most of the prescriptions out there are unreliable. If you want to learn how to make medicine, you can find a doctor with excellent medical skills to learn from."
The two maids did not dare to persuade Tang Cheng to rest and take care of her pregnancy, for fear that she would suddenly change her mind and have an abortion.
"Don't worry, these are the herbs needed to make a strengthening potion. My body is too weak right now, and this potion will be good for my body."
"With the strengthening potion, I will definitely be able to give birth to the baby smoothly."
Tang Cheng blew the ink dry on the paper and said confidently, ignoring the ugly words on the paper. She had never written calligraphy before, and the original owner's handwriting was also ugly, but Tang Cheng didn't feel embarrassed.
Nanny Gao and Nanny Cao became anxious.
"Fourth Miss..."
What the hell is this body-strengthening potion? They have never heard of it. Could it be a scam by those wandering Taoist priests
Given Fourth Miss Tang's personality, it's not surprising that she was deceived.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that Fourth Miss Tang has become obsessed with it and not only tries to make it herself, but also plans to make it herself and drink it.
Isn't this courting death
Can't you just calm down a little
If she wasn't pregnant with the prince's child, no one would care if she committed suicide.
She gave birth to the child smoothly, but I was afraid that the child would be lost because of her.
"Don't say any more. I know what's going on. Pearl, it's getting late. Go get the medicine."
Tang Cheng interrupted the two maids directly.
She is such a domineering, overbearing and willful person, with a temperament similar to the original owner.
Pearl was both angry and anxious. She was in a dilemma as to whether to accept or not accept.
Shanhu, who was as quiet as a chicken, rolled her eyes and hurried forward and said, "Miss, I will get you some medicine."
"Coral, you... do you know what you are doing?"
When Pearl saw Coral interfering, she glared at her.
Shanhu was secretly delighted when she saw the young lady's unwavering expression. She deliberately slandered and suppressed Zhenzhu: "Zhenzhu, have you forgotten that we are all the young lady's servants? How dare you disobey the young lady's words? Who is the master?"
This is a good opportunity to do something, and you must not miss it.
Based on Coral's understanding of the young lady, once she said this, even if she couldn't regain the young lady's trust, it would at least make the young lady disgusted.
Coral glanced at Pearl, whose face turned pale, with ill intent, and waited leisurely.
