Wen Huaian’s handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
What about the consideration you promised
It's been less than a day and Marquis Nanyang is already impatient to collect information on young talents for that heartless girl Tang Cheng. If Tang Cheng really takes a fancy to a young talent, his child will then have an extra stepfather.
"Is the news accurate? Are you sure it's not a rumor?" Wen Huaian's voice was filled with gritted teeth.
"It's not a rumor. It was said by the Marquis of Nanyang himself."
The servant didn't dare to look up at the young master's expression. As the young master's confidant, he certainly knew about Fourth Miss Tang's fake abortion.
The Marquis of Nanyang is too ungentlemanly.
Fourth Miss Tang is pregnant with the prince's child.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Tang Cheng and Nanyang Marquis's Mansion."
When Wen Huaian thought of Tang Cheng's temperament, he seemed to see the future of his child happily calling someone else dad, and decided to implement a tight marking strategy.
Be sure to eliminate all hidden dangers.
Come one, pinch one; come two, pinch two!
Trusted servant: "..."
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Go down!"
Wen Huaian dismissed his trusted servant and went to the study with a gloomy face to handle matters.
The Duke of Zhenguo could not hide the movements of the Marquis of Nanyang from anyone, so he sent someone to call his son over. Looking at his handsome and elegant son, the Duke of Zhenguo felt proud but also secretly regretted that the difficult issue of his son's offspring had not been resolved.
"Huaian, you know that Nanyang Hou is collecting information about young talents, right?"
The Duke of Zhenguo asked directly and to the point.
Wen Huaian's handsome face changed slightly: "I know."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his son's slightly changed expression and laughed secretly. He saw through the Marquis of Nanyang's plan at a glance.
Although his son was plotted against by Marquis Nanyang, the Duke of Zhenguo was not angry.
Marquis Nanyang also loves his daughter very much.
At first glance, Tang Cheng is a heartless girl who likes to show off her beauty.
At least the girl liked my son's face.
Even if there were young talents who were as good-looking as his son, unless they were fallen nobles or illegitimate sons who wanted to climb up the tree of Marquis of Nanyang, they would not be able to shake his son's status.
The Duke of Zhenguo was not worried at all.
Of course he would not tell his son, so as not to ruin the plan of Marquis Nanyang. If Marquis Nanyang changes his mind by then, without his secret manipulation, and that little girl Tang Cheng really falls in love with someone else, his grandson would probably really have an extra stepfather.
It's nice to stand aside and watch my son and little girl Tang Cheng having fun.
You never know, maybe some emotional issues will arise.
However, the Duke of Zhenguo will not do nothing and watch them mess around. He will give them a push when the time is right.
Of course, the culprit behind all this, Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was once again pulled out by the Duke of Zhenguo and severely whipped, which indefinitely extended the time it took her to return home.
"What are you going to do?" The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his son.
Wen Huaian pursed his thin lips. In the eyes of everyone, his marriage with Tang Cheng was called off, and Tang Cheng had an abortion. From now on, men and women had nothing to do with each other's marriage. What else could he do? Of course, he would keep a close eye on her.
When the Duke of Zhenguo heard his son's plan, he knew it was exactly what the Marquis of Nanyang wanted, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"That's how it should be."
Wen Huaian: “…”
Why does he feel like he's been plotted against
…
Nanyang Marquis Mansion
When Marquis Nanyang heard from Servant A that the news had been released, an unfathomable smile crossed his lips.
As a father, he has good intentions and worries a lot for his precious daughter.
If I don't focus Master Wen's attention on my daughter, what will I do if something unexpected happens and he loses the son-in-law he has chosen
Collecting information on young talents is only the first step.
It is said that a daughter resembles her father, and this is true. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't make trouble for Prince Wen.
Of course, there will be many people who will laugh at him for doing useless work, but so what? I believe there will be many people who are attracted to him.
Marquis Nanyang held a teacup in his hand, leaning back in a huanghuali wood chair, his eyes looking through the window of the study towards the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, his eyes slightly narrowed, his face serious.
It’s better for the capital to be more lively.
At this time, a guard outside reported.
"My Lord, the fourth young lady is here."
Marquis Nanyang was stunned for a moment, the solemn expression on his face quickly disappeared, and a gentle smile appeared.
"Let her in."
In the past, when his beloved daughter came to see him for something, she liked to break into the study directly, but this time she actually asked someone to pass the message. Marquis Nanyang couldn't help but feel surprised and emotional. His beloved daughter has grown up, but her personality is still as playful as before.
Thinking of what she had done today and the jokes from her colleagues, Nanyang Hou couldn't help but laugh.
My dear daughter is really good at pulling hatred!
Those talented men who are good at writing stories about talented men and beautiful women and are highly sought after by some wealthy girls must hate their precious daughter to death.
As soon as Tang Cheng came in, she saw the Marquis' father laughing. She curiously leaned over and asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
"Cheng'er, did you have fun today? Did you eat anything wrong?"
Nanyang Hou asked with a smile.
Tang Cheng dragged her special rose chair over and sat next to Marquis Dad, saying with a beaming face.
"I'm happy. It's fun to ride in a luxury car to tour the capital for the first time. Don't worry, Dad. I won't eat anything carelessly with Amber here."
After Tang Cheng finished speaking, his eyes fell on the tricolor peony on the table, and he suddenly remembered that she still had Tang Xin who was not engaged.
"Dad, I heard that you are sending people to collect information on young talents. Tang Xin's marriage is still unsettled. Why don't you give a copy of the collected information to mother? Oh, and my two brothers are still unmarried. Dad should work harder to collect more information on the noble ladies of marriageable age in the capital."
Tang Cheng had a good impression of her stepmother Zhang, who did not interfere with her, and said this casually.
When the biased Nanyang Marquis heard that his beloved daughter was worried about her brother and sister's marriage, he reached out and touched her head, smiling with relief.
"Cheng'er has grown up and will care about his brothers and sisters."
Tang Cheng had no intention of repairing the relationship with her brother and sister. She had no intention of playing the role of sisterly love or brotherly love. This distant and cold relationship was just right.
"Dad, I'm thinking about myself. What if my brothers marry sisters-in-law who don't like me? If they look down on me or pick on me all day long, I won't be comfortable living in the mansion, right?"
Tang Cheng expressed his selfish motives very frankly and confidently.
Marquis Nanyang couldn't help laughing when he saw his precious daughter's self-righteous look. He kept this in mind and nodded in agreement.
"You're right. We should prepare for a rainy day."
Tang Cheng was very happy. She told him the purpose of her visit: "Dad, the emperor has given me many good things. I want to go to the palace to express my gratitude. What day do you think is good?"
The emperor is a great backer.
Having finally caught the emperor's eye with his body-strengthening potion, Tang Cheng must of course hold on to this support, make his presence felt from time to time, and deepen their relationship.
Marquis Nanyang looked at his precious daughter's expectant eyes, thought of the Yangyang Palace shrouded in stench, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, the emperor probably doesn't want to see his precious daughter's face again in the short term.
He coughed lightly and said, "Cheng'er, the emperor is very busy with government affairs, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."
Tang Cheng became excited after being disappointed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time. Dad, just hang around the emperor more often and mention me more often, otherwise the emperor will forget about me, his great contributor, and that would be a big loss."
Marquis Nanyang was speechless.
My dear girl, you underestimate yourself.
Don’t worry, the emperor will never forget you no matter who he forgets.
Whoever dares to sleep in front of the imperial study is my precious daughter!
Who dares to make the Jingyang Palace stink, and it’s my precious daughter!
In the end, Marquis Nanyang, who loved his daughter very much, agreed.
Only then did Tang Cheng feel relieved to return to the peony garden.
On the way, she met Tang Xin.
When Tang Xin saw Tang Cheng, she took her maid and walked away without saying a word.
Leaving Tang Cheng with a graceful back view!
Tang Cheng: “…”
"Pearl, am I that scary?" Tang Cheng touched her smooth and delicate face, which was still very beautiful. She tilted her head and asked Pearl.
Pearl immediately said, "Young lady is not scary. Third young lady should still be angry with you."
"So that's how it is. Anger is harmful to the body. Zhenzhu, bring a can of chrysanthemum tea to Third Sister to help her cool down." Tang Cheng said casually.
pearl:"… "
"Yes, Miss!"
I'm afraid the third young lady will be angry again when she receives the chrysanthemum tea from the young lady.
Tang Xin, who had taken a detour, returned to the yard with Jinshu. Looking at the precious flowers and plants all over the yard, his mood improved slightly.
Unfortunately, her good mood did not last long. When Tang Xin received the chrysanthemum tea sent by Tang Cheng to help her cool down, her face looked very unhappy.
Tang Cheng, who accidentally angered Tang Xin, stayed comfortably in the house reading a story about talented men and beautiful women, completely ignoring the latest rumors circulating outside.
The four maids: "..."
Ever since the news that Marquis Nanyang was going to collect information on young talents for his fourth daughter came out, he has been ridiculed by many people.
Which young talent with a promising future or good family background would be so blind as to want to marry a concubine's daughter from a marquis's family who had lost her virginity and had an abortion
Is it embarrassing
Not only that, it was said that the Fourth Miss Tang was also very domineering. She wanted to clear out the backyard before getting married and did not allow her future husband to take concubines or have a maid.
Who can bear it
Even if Marquis Nanyang collected information about young talents, it would be useless. He would just have to wait for Fourth Miss Tang to become an old maid who couldn't get married!
This is the voice of the noble ladies who adore Prince Wen.
Those scholars who had been criticized by Tang Cheng even added fuel to the fire and mocked Tang Cheng for being brainless and only seeking death, picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, and that he was destined to find a son-in-law in the future.
Many people were waiting to see Tang Cheng's good show. Even the emperor in the palace became interested and secretly sent people to keep an eye on him.
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo who lived in the Min Mansion, was delighted upon hearing this explosive news.
Tang Si was a thorn in her heart. It would be strange if Min was not happy to see that there was hope of eradicating this thorn.
Thanks to Tang Si for seeking his own death and refusing to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xue Ning finally had one less big enemy.
At this time, a carrier pigeon message from the Xie family in Jinling arrived. After reading the content of the letter, Min felt better.
"Mammy, Xue Ning will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow, just in time to celebrate the birthday of the old princess of Cheng Palace."
"Madam, after arriving in Beijing, will Miss Xue Ning temporarily stay at the Min Mansion or the Duke Zhenguo Mansion?" The trusted nanny looked at Madam's happy expression and couldn't help but ask a very realistic question.
"Xue Ning is Huai'an's cousin, so of course she lives in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Otherwise, how can I cultivate feelings with my son, Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, said as a matter of course.
Confidant Nanny: “…”
Are you taking it for granted, madam
"Will the Duke agree?"
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was stunned.
"Why would I disagree? The Duke won't take his anger out on Xue Ning because of me."
She has been sent back to her parents' home now, and she cannot go back unless the Duke gives in. As time goes on, the news that she was sent back to her parents' home by the Duke will probably be exposed.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was very panicked.
She had it all planned out. After Xue Ning arrived in Beijing, she would go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion under the pretext of sending Xue Ning to the Mansion and apologize to the Duke.
