Tang Cheng had originally been planning to get rid of Shanhu, the vicious maid who had bad intentions and instigated the original owner to have an abortion. Now, hearing that she was still scheming in front of her, her delicate little face was suddenly filled with anger.
"Shanhu, shut up! You have no right to speak here!"
"Pearl, go get the medicine."
Tang Cheng thought of the scene in his memory where the original owner was fooled around by a maid named Shanhu, and in order to prevent her father, the marquis who doted on her, from killing Shanhu, she even threatened to die, shouting that if Shanhu died, she would not live either. Tang Cheng was completely shocked and speechless.
She was also a young lady spoiled by her family, but I don’t know what was wrong with the original owner’s brain.
Fortunately, Coral didn't know that the original owner had done such a stupid thing for her, otherwise Coral would be even more fearless. Tang Cheng thought that Coral's behavior was not too abnormal, and she must have been warned by her father, the Marquis.
Coral, who was scolded by the young lady today, was shocked and looked in disbelief. A panic suddenly rose in her heart and she dared not say a word. In her eyes, the young lady was not a person who valued feelings and would abandon her like a worn-out shoe once she was not satisfied.
Shanhu thought of the mysterious man's promise. Before she achieved her goal, she couldn't let the young lady dislike her. She had to grit her teeth and endure it. She felt aggrieved and angry. Since she was bought by the young lady, she had never been treated like this. What a bullshit young lady. She said she only trusted her. It turned out to be a lie. She would get rid of her child...
At this time, Coral didn't know that her silly lady had changed her heart, and continued to dream sweet dreams.
When Pearl saw the young lady's reaction when she angrily scolded Coral, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately... Fortunately, the young lady was not bewitched by a villain like Coral again.
Now Pearl didn't dare to persuade her anymore. While the young lady hadn't been coaxed back by Coral yet, she quickly took the list of medicinal herbs and left.
It is better to go along with the young lady first, and then inform the marquis when he comes back. I believe the marquis will not let the young lady do anything wrong.
The two maids looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and fell silent. This Fourth Miss Tang was so willful and a headache for them. They were just servants, not servants of Marquis Nanyang. No matter how much they said, this Fourth Miss Tang would not listen and might even be driven away.
Didn’t you see that even Miss Tang Si’s favorite maid, Shanhu, was scolded
The room became quiet. Tang Cheng was very satisfied with it. He sat leisurely on the chaise longue and enjoyed the delicious snacks.
As for the fleeting resentment in Coral's eyes, she didn't take it to heart at all.
…
Towards evening, Nanyang Marquis Tang Zejin returned, and Zhenzhu happened to have bought some medicinal herbs.
"Your servant greets the Marquis." When Zhenzhu saw the Marquis, she hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Is Cheng'er still making trouble today?"
Speaking of his beloved daughter Tang Cheng, Marquis Nanyang felt a headache and helplessness when he thought of how she was trying to commit suicide and asking for an abortion. He hoped that Cheng'er could understand his painstaking efforts.
In the opinion of Marquis Nanyang, Prince Wen of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is more suitable for Cheng'er than the Fourth Prince, whom his precious daughter is determined to marry.
Especially since Cheng'er was lucky enough to be pregnant with Prince Wen's child, this gave her confidence. Although being pregnant before marriage had a bad reputation, Marquis Nanyang still decided to give his precious daughter the greatest support and try his best to protect her.
"My lord, the young lady has changed her mind and wants to keep Prince Wen's child. She has also kept the nanny sent by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo." Zhenzhu replied quickly.
Nanyang Marquis heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"It's just that the young lady suddenly said that she was too weak and wanted to make a strong potion. She wrote a list and asked me to buy the herbs."
As she spoke, Zhenzhu raised the big bag in her hand.
"These are the herbs that the young lady asked me to buy."
"The doctor at Jihetang said that although the herbs the young lady wanted were strange, they were all non-toxic."
This is something Pearl specifically inquired about in detail.
Nanyang Hou's eyes fell on a bone sticking out from the mouth of the big bundle.
"Bones are also medicinal materials?"
"My lord, this is tiger bone, and it cost a lot of money." Zhenzhu replied with a painful look on her face.
Nanyang Hou nodded and said calmly: "So it is tiger bones. You can buy a few more to soak in wine for Cheng'er to nourish his body."
pearl:"… "
Is the Marquis's focus not right? Doesn't the Marquis intend to stop the young lady from refining the potion
Pearl was dumbfounded.
Nanyang Marquis has always doted on his daughter and understood her temperament. He did not take Tang Cheng's plan to make a potion seriously. He thought that Tang Cheng's making a potion was just like boiling medicine. He would just move his mouth and let the servants boil the medicine. Who knows, he might lose interest in a few days, so there was nothing to worry about.
However, Marquis Nanyang still planned to find a reliable doctor and keep him in the Peony Garden just in case.
Marquis Nanyang thought as he walked towards the peony garden, and Zhenzhu and the servant followed behind him.
Those in the mansion who were well-informed knew at the first moment that the Marquis had hurried to the Peony Garden as soon as he returned home, and they were all used to it.
Tang Xin pursed her lips, feeling a little sour in her heart. She had been here for more than half a month and had spent a lot of effort to please the Marquis father, but to no avail. In the eyes of the Marquis father, there was probably only Tang Cheng, the brainless fourth sister. In the end, he even went against the heroine for revenge and sacrificed the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion.
Tang Xin wanted to save the Marquis' Mansion, but now it seems that the Marquis's father's approach is not feasible.
As for transforming Tang Cheng, Tang Xin never even thought about it. The heroine was reborn and already had a grudge against Tang Cheng, so it was inevitable that she would clash with the heroine. She didn't want to get involved.
“You can only rely on yourself.”
Tang Xin murmured.
…
Peony Garden
Tang Cheng finally met the Marquis father who doted on the original owner. At the first sight of Marquis Nanyang, Tang Cheng's eyebrows jumped. They looked so similar. Marquis Nanyang's face was 70% similar to her father's.
Come to think of it, she hadn't seen the original owner's appearance yet. Thinking of this, Tang Cheng took out the beauty mirror to see what the original owner looked like.
Tang Cheng was shocked when he saw this.
The mirror reflected a face that she was quite familiar with, with delicate features, beautiful almond eyes, and a hint of pride between the brows.
Everything is so familiar.
She actually looks 90% similar to the original owner.
Tang Cheng: “…”
Is this the legendary fate
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
He coughed lightly and drew his precious daughter's attention back: "Cheng'er, Dad will have dinner at your place tonight."
Tang Cheng came back to her senses, put away the beauty mirror as if nothing had happened, put on a bright smile, and happily walked over to hold the arm of Nanyang Hou.
"Okay, I want to have dinner with Dad too."
Tang Cheng accepted this marquis father well, who looked very similar to her father and doted on her.
Marquis Nanyang smiled happily at his precious daughter's closeness.
The forgotten Pearl looked at the big bundle in her hand and waited silently.
The coral was as quiet as a chicken, not daring to breathe.
The cold look that the Marquis gave her just now made her tremble with fear.
Every time the Marquis came to see the young lady, Shanhu was trembling with fear, as if she was treading on thin ice.
This is also one of the reasons why Shanhu, who is highly valued and trusted by Tang Cheng, can't wait to betray Tang Cheng.
"Dad, I found a good recipe and plan to make a body-strengthening potion. When the potion is ready, you can soak in it to strengthen your body." Tang Cheng thought that people in this era had a very short lifespan, so she decided to let her father, the Marquis, who was her big backer, live longer.
"Not drinking?" Nanyang Hou was surprised, with a relaxed look on his face.
It's just a soak in the so-called strengthening potion. Zhenzhu said the herbs are non-toxic and it's probably of no use. Just treat it as a bath.
Anyway, my precious daughter doesn’t have that patience.
Pearl looked desperate.
The Marquis's reaction was not right.
Two maids: “…”
"It can be drunk, and can also be used for medicinal baths." Tang Cheng was amused by the Marquis' father's first reaction.
"The strength potion is a bit strong. Use it to soak in a medicinal bath first, and then drink it after your body has adapted to it."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I want to give birth to the baby smoothly."
Miss Tang spoke so seriously that the two maids twitched their lips.
Marquis Nanyang was not at all reassured. He did not expect that the potion was actually drinkable.
"Cheng'er, where did you get the medicine recipe?"
Tang Cheng replied without blinking, "It should be a Taoist priest who gave it to me. It's been a long time, and I can't remember it. But he is an unimportant person. Dad, don't worry about it. As long as the prescription is useful, it's fine."
Nanyang Hou's eyebrows jumped: "..."
If I can’t remember who sent it, how can I still remember the prescription of the medicine
Marquis Nanyang was in a very bad state.
"Cheng'er, you are now a double body, so you should be careful when taking the medicine. The two maids are very experienced, so you should listen to their advice."
Nanny Gao and Nanny Cao nodded in agreement.
Wouldn't it be better to just take care of the pregnancy peacefully? Why do you have to make such a mess
Tang Cheng was not angry at all about the Marquis's distrust of her, because she knew that the Marquis cared about her.
"Dad, don't worry. If the medicinal bath doesn't work, I definitely won't drink it."
"You can make medicine and take a medicinal bath, but you have to have a doctor check it out before you can do it."
Marquis Nanyang felt a headache when he thought of his precious daughter's temper, but he couldn't bear to scold her. What's the matter? It's just a medicinal bath. With a doctor watching over her, nothing should go wrong.
If he tried to stop her now, who knew if his precious daughter would do something behind the scenes, it would be better to put it out in the open.
Tang Cheng was very happy to get the support from his father, the Marquis.
"Dad, send someone to collect martial arts secrets. I am very interested in martial arts. I want to practice martial arts after the baby is born."
Tang Cheng was preparing for a rainy day; physical skills needed to be concealed by martial arts.
The Nanyang Marquis, who doted on his daughter, felt his heart skip a beat.
"good."
Tang Cheng was satisfied.
Pearl looked listless.
She knew it would be like this.
Shanhu was secretly happy. She thought, "Just do your best. It would be best if you could kill Master Wen's child."
As they were talking, it got dark and candles were lit in the lobby.
The kitchen manager and a group of maids came in one after another. As they entered the house, the aroma of food filled their noses.
The delicacies on the jade plate are fragrant and colorful.
Tang Cheng sat at the table and enjoyed a delicious dinner with Nanyang Hou.
After dinner, Tang Cheng sent his servants away and told Marquis Nanyang about getting rid of Shanhu.
Marquis Nanyang was pleasantly surprised, but he was worried and confirmed again in case his precious daughter regretted it and made a fuss again.
"Cheng'er, are you really going to let Dad get rid of Shanhu?"
Tang Cheng spread his hands and said innocently, "Yes, Shanhu is becoming more and more unpleasant. She likes to boss people around. She is no longer suitable to stay by my side and be my confidant."
"Father, please send me more people. How can I be a daughter of a marquisate with only one maid? It's too embarrassing. I need at least ten or eight people to be with me. That way I can look impressive."
Nanyang Marquis laughed loudly: "Cheng'er is right, that's how it should be. Dad will send you ten or eight servants tomorrow."
My baby girl finally got tired of coral.
Marquis Nanyang was so happy that he decided to send someone to get rid of the coral tonight to avoid any more trouble.
As for how to deal with it, of course, is to make her disappear.
