Tang Cheng didn't care about the rumors flying around, but Wen Huaian did, and the Fourth Prince who was implicated by her also cared.
There are too many forces muddying the waters, and the rumors are out of control.
It can be said that the most innocent person is the Fourth Prince.
Tang Cheng felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart.
"Zhenzhu, do you think I should go and apologize to the Fourth Prince in person?"
Pearl was shocked and tried to stop it.
"Miss, please don't do this, otherwise it will confirm the rumor that you aborted Prince Wen's child for the Fourth Prince."
The other three maids also looked disapproving.
The fourth prince is so pitiful, he was badly cheated by the young lady.
The lady was ready to add fuel to the fire.
Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"It doesn't matter. I don't live in rumors. They are just gossips by people with nothing to do. Why should I care about them?"
The corners of Pearl's mouth twitched.
"Miss, you are a special case. You can't generalize."
Tang Cheng: “…”
Forget it, just let it go. I’ll probably have a chance to help the Fourth Prince in the future.
"Pearl, is there any banquet coming up soon? I'll see if I can get my mother to get an invitation."
Tang Cheng didn't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion all day long, it was too boring. In the ancient times, there was no star network or holographic online games. She now understood why the original owner couldn't wait to reincarnate.
There were too few entertainment activities in ancient times, and the restrictions on women were extremely strict.
Tang Cheng frowned.
The four maids: "..."
"Miss, you are now a double!"
Tang Cheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm in great shape now. Even if I jump up and down, the baby in my belly will be fine."
"Tell me, what banquets are there recently?"
The four maids were speechless.
"In a few days, it will be the birthday of the old princess of Cheng Palace. If you want to go, you can ask Madam to take you there."
Pearl said helplessly.
"Okay, that's it." Tang Cheng nodded indifferently.
"Miss, I heard that Princess Cheng used the old princess' birthday to find a wife for her second son."
Tang Cheng looked thoughtful.
It seems that whether in the future or in ancient times, people like to go on blind dates through various banquets.
She looked through the original owner's memories. The original owner had participated in many banquets, but unfortunately, every time she either stared at the Fourth Prince or sat on the bench and was excluded.
Tang Cheng discovered that many noblemen were invited to these banquets.
She immediately became interested and could take the opportunity to observe their character.
"Is the second son of Princess Cheng good-looking? If he is, I can include him in the list of candidates for the baby's stepfather."
It’s hard to describe the four maids in a few words.
"I heard that Princess Cheng's second son has a handsome appearance." Zhenzhu said.
Good-looking...
I guess he’s not even one-fifth as handsome as Wen Huaian.
Tang Cheng suddenly lost interest in Princess Cheng's second son.
At this time, Tang Cheng had not yet realized that her criteria for choosing a husband were based on Wen Huaian's conditions.
That night, Tang Cheng told his father the Marquis about his plan, and the Marquis of Nanyang agreed because he thought of his precious daughter's extraordinary strength.
…
Night falls and the lights come on.
Zhenguogong Mansion
"Min, kneel down!"
Duke Zhenguo Duan looked at his wife, Lady Min, with a stern gaze.
The Duke of Zhenguo was furious when he thought that she had manipulated rumors to cuckold his son.
He really indulged her too much.
It's simply unforgivable!
Wen Huaian clenched his fists. He didn't believe that Tang Cheng would abort her child. He would go and verify it himself. He wanted to ask Tang Cheng in person.
After all, the Nanyang Marquisate refuted the rumor.
Now the streets are full of rumors about Tang Cheng and the Fourth Prince. His father was able to find out that it was his mother who was behind it, and Marquis Nanyang should be able to find out as well. Even if it's false this time, Tang Cheng is afraid that after his mother's actions, he will not keep his child anymore.
He was completely disheartened by what his mother had done.
He didn't want to plead for his mother again this time!
I'm just sending her back to her mother's home. I hope she can learn from her mistakes and turn over a new leaf!
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, never expected that the Duke would ask her to kneel down in front of her son. She trembled all over and felt extremely humiliated.
"My Lord, I don't know what I did wrong. If you are dissatisfied with me for not remarrying Tang Si and Huaian as you requested, I don't think I did anything wrong. Tang Si came to the palace and aborted Huaian's child for the Fourth Prince. She is no longer qualified to be the Crown Prince's Consort!"
"Do you know what people outside are saying about Tang Si? The Duke should be thankful that Tang Si is not Huai'an's fiancée, otherwise the Duke's Mansion would be in disgrace!"
The more the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo spoke, the more excited she became, and the more confident she seemed.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked cold: "Have you said enough?"
The chill in his tone was frightening.
Min's heart trembled.
"Min, you have been manipulating and spreading rumors about Tang Si and the Fourth Prince behind the scenes. Have you ever thought about your son's feelings?"
"The Duke's Mansion doesn't need a mistress who would not even spare her own son for her own selfish reasons!"
Zhenguo not only exposed what she had done but also decided on her punishment.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo felt dizzy.
She thought she had done this very secretly, but she didn't expect that she couldn't hide it from the Duke.
She looked at her son's cold eyes and her heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar.
Two words popped into my mind.
Finished.
"Tang Ping, send my wife back to her parents' home early tomorrow morning!"
The Duke of Zhenguo had a blank expression on his face.
Min's face was pale and she almost fainted. She looked at her son Wen Huaian with pleading eyes: "Huaian, mother was wrong, mother was really wrong, can you forgive mother again?"
Min knew that as long as her son pleaded for mercy, the Duke would revoke his decision.
Wen Huaian looked at his mother deeply.
"Mom, I'm disappointed."
After saying that, Wen Huaian turned his face away and looked at his father, the Duke of Zhenguo: "Father, I'll go back to the yard first."
The Duke of Zhenguo nodded slightly.
"Go ahead. Don't let your mother affect your mood. Have a good rest. Your father will take you to Nanyang Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
When his son was refused to see the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, he took his son there in person.
Even if Tang Si really had an abortion, it didn’t matter. As long as she married her son, she would get pregnant eventually.
Wen Huaian felt warm in his heart, then turned and left without even looking at Min.
Min was filled with sorrow.
"My Lord, are you really going to be so heartless?"
She didn't expect that just spreading a rumor would disregard their years of marriage.
The Duke of Zhenguo said coldly: "Min, I have given you many chances!"
"If you were not Huai'an's mother, what would be waiting for you would be a divorce letter!"
"Min, you'd better take care of yourself!"
Looking at the cold eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, Min couldn't help but shudder.
This time, she was really going to be sent back to her parents' home.
Min regretted it very much!
Fortunately, she is Wen Huaian's mother, and she still has a chance to turn the tables.
I'm just sorry that Xue Ning will be wronged.
Before Min decided to leave the Duke's Mansion, she told her son to take good care of Xue Ning when she arrived at the Duke's Mansion.
The next day, Lady Min, wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was forcibly sent back to her parents' home.
It suddenly rained heavily last night. The air was filled with moisture and the breeze brought cool breezes.
All of this is nothing compared to the coldness in the heart of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
At noon, after the court session, the Duke of Zhenguo personally took Wen Huaian and the invited official mediators with a car full of gifts to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion.
This scene was seen by many people, and they couldn't help but follow out of curiosity. Everyone was guessing where the Duke of Zhenguo was taking Prince Wen and the official media
"Could it be going to Nanyang Marquis Mansion?"
"Impossible. Don't forget that Fourth Miss Tang aborted Prince Wen's child for the Fourth Prince. Without a child, the Duke of Zhenguo will not let her marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"
"Didn't you realize that this is the shortest way to Nanyang Marquis's Mansion?"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
She won't really go to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, right? What kind of fate does Fourth Miss Tang have? Yesterday, rumors about her and the Fourth Prince were flying everywhere, and today the Duke of Zhenguo personally brought people to propose marriage.
Everyone followed behind and found that the Duke of Zhenguo was really going to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. They didn't know what to say.
Those rumors flying around yesterday seemed like a joke.
Miss Fourth Tang and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion don't care at all.
Miss Tang Si is so enviable.
…
Royal Palace
After a night, the stench that shrouded the imperial study was finally washed away by the heavy rain.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief but was still frightened.
When the emperor thought of the faint foul smell that filled the entire palace yesterday afternoon, he felt depressed and thought that Tang Si should not enter the palace again. In the short term, he did not want to see Tang Si again.
"Eunuch Fu, there are rumors about Tang Si and Xiao Si everywhere. Do you think I should add fuel to the fire and spread what Tang Si said yesterday?" The emperor suddenly said this.
Eunuch Fu: “…”
Your Majesty, are you sure this fire can burn Miss Tang Si
The unlucky one should be the Fourth Prince.
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate and will damage the reputation of the Fourth Prince."
The emperor smiled and said meaningfully, "It's just one more romantic affair. In fact, I am doing this for Xiao Si's own good. After all, Tang Si is the daughter-in-law that the Duke of Zhenguo has chosen."
Eunuch Fu: “…”
"But Fourth Miss Tang aborted Prince Wen's child. The Duke of Zhenguo will not let Prince Wen marry a wife with a bad reputation."
The emperor smiled and said, "No, even if Tang Si really had an abortion, the Duke of Zhenguo would still want Tang Si as his daughter-in-law!"
"Eunuch Fu, just wait and see. The Duke of Zhenguo will go to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage again!"
Tang Si is the hope for the succession of the Zhenguogong Mansion's descendants.
Eunuch Fu: “…”
The emperor's guess was indeed correct. At noon, the news that the Duke of Zhenguo and Prince Wen were personally going to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage reached the palace.
The emperor laughed.
Today's morning court was quite lively. The censors impeached Duke Cheng'en and Marquis Nanyang one after another as if they had discussed it beforehand.
The emperor was very satisfied with the fact that he removed more than ten members of Duke Cheng'en's clan from their official positions.
As for the Marquis of Nanyang, apart from being impeached for not educating his daughter properly, he had no other charges. The emperor simply made a few verbal remarks and then lightly let it go.
Although he didn't want Tang Si to enter the palace, he still liked this bold girl very much.
After being shocked, Eunuch Fu patted the dragon's fart and said, "Your Majesty is truly a prophet!"
"It seems that Miss Tang Si is destined to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
The emperor smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Tang Si might eventually marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but not now.
Even if the Duke of Zhenguo condescended to come and propose marriage in person, he would not be optimistic.
It is not so easy to expose the fact that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo humiliated Tang Si.
Even though she had been sent back to her parents' home by the Duke of Zhenguo.
