That night, Lady Zhang, the wife of Marquis Nanyang, learned that Coral, who was close to the fourth girl, had been dealt with by the Marquis.
After a bowl of poison, the coral was gone.
Zhang secretly felt regretful. Such a good chess piece was gone just like that.
Nanyang Marquis did not hide the matter of how he dealt with Shanhu, and the news soon spread to all the courtyards. Shanhu, who relied on the fourth young lady to bully others, was gone. People had different reactions. The servants talked about it privately and were secretly happy.
Tang Xin was completely stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.
The vicious maid who was as tenacious as a cockroach beside Tang Cheng, the ultimate cannon fodder, is gone just like that. She was a chess piece bought by the reborn heroine, and she didn't die soon after the start of the game. How will the subsequent plot unfold
Tang Xin looked confused.
Tang Cheng had just finished bathing and was about to go to bed when he learned from Zhenzhu about how the Marquis' father had treated Shanhu. His almond-shaped eyes widened slightly.
The Marquis's actions were decisive and efficient. She thought that the Marquis would sell the corals, but she didn't expect that the Marquis would directly eliminate the trouble.
Tang Cheng was in a very good mood. He happily stepped onto the bed in his wooden clogs and fell into a deep sleep wrapped in a quilt.
Both the father and the daughter do not care about the person behind the scenes who bribed Shanhu. Most of the information that can be pried out from Shanhu's mouth is not important, and the information that cannot be pried out is very deeply hidden, and may be related to the Zhenguo Mansion, and will always be exposed in the future.
…
The main courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The night was cool and the candlelight flickered.
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was talking to her eldest son Wen Huaian about Tang Cheng.
"Huaian, news came from the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion that the fourth Miss Tang has decided to keep the child. I will send someone to choose a good day, and you should marry her as soon as possible."
In fact, Mrs. Min disliked Tang Cheng, the notorious future daughter-in-law, but Tang Cheng was lucky and became pregnant with her son's child.
The Duke was seriously injured. He only had one legitimate son, Huai'an, and two illegitimate daughters. His son had a weak constitution and it was difficult for him to have children. The other branches were eyeing him covetously.
Min had no choice but to accept this fertile daughter-in-law.
Wen Huaian has a handsome appearance and bright eyes, but his tall body looks thin and frail, but it does not detract from his handsomeness.
He elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. When his mother asked him to marry Tang Cheng as soon as possible, he nodded indifferently.
"It's all up to the mother."
He and Fourth Miss Tang were an accidental match, and everyone in the capital knew that Fourth Miss Tang was jumping up and down about wanting to marry the Fourth Prince.
One was unintentional, the other was unintentional.
Tang Cheng is pregnant with his child, and Wen Huaian will take responsibility.
Looking at her son's indifferent expression, Min secretly sighed. She didn't know whether her son was unlucky or lucky to have such a stupid, ignorant and self-indulgent Miss Tang.
"There is an auspicious date next month, so let's set the wedding date for next month. Although it's a bit rushed, the baby in Miss Tang's belly can't wait."
Wen Huaian nodded: "Mom, please do as you wish. I have no objection."
Min: “…”
"I will go to Nanyang Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
This Fourth Miss Tang is too troublesome. It would be better to keep her under close watch as soon as possible, lest her grandson be lost by accident.
There are too many people staring at Miss Tang Si’s belly.
…
Tang Cheng didn't know what had happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The next morning, after Tang Cheng had breakfast, the marquis' father sent twenty servants to him.
It was obvious that these twenty servants were specially trained, and they looked at her with calm and respectful eyes.
Tang Cheng was very satisfied.
She fell in love with a petite girl with calm eyes.
"From now on, your name will be Shanhu, and you will follow me." Tang Cheng pointed at her and announced.
pearl:"… "
"Miss, her name is not Coral."
Tang Cheng raised his delicate chin slightly: "From now on, the four maids around me will be named Pearl, Coral, Linglong, and Amber. They are simple and easy to remember."
The newly appointed Coral: "Thank you Miss Coral for the name."
Two maids: “…”
Others: “…”
"Who knows Kung Fu? Come to the front." Tang Cheng continued to ask.
A maid with ordinary appearance stood up.
"Very good, you can call me Linglong."
"Thank you Miss for the name."
Tang Cheng also selected a beautiful maid who was skilled in medicine and named her Amber.
The four major maids are all here.
Tang Cheng made arrangements for the remaining sixteen people, including maids, old women and nannies. The entire Peony Garden was replaced, and except for the servants who did the rough work, all the other servants were sent away by Tang Cheng.
Next, Tang Cheng prepared to refine the potion. She was very particular about it and specially instructed Linglong Amber to transform an empty house in the Peony Garden.
In the yard, the sun was shining brightly. Tang Cheng sat lazily on a chair covered with soft cushions, watching the servants busying around. Zhenzhu and Shanhu served him by his side, one serving tea and water and handing him fruits, while the other massaged his shoulders, making sure Tang Cheng felt comfortable.
Two maids: “…”
Fourth Miss Tang really knows how to enjoy herself.
Pearl was very happy, because Coral, who always instigated the attempt to monopolize the young lady, was gone. Now the young lady had someone arranged by the Marquis to be by her side, so she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that the young lady is very interested in refining medicine.
Pearl was distressed.
As soon as the news of the big commotion in the peony garden, which was always under the spotlight, spread, everyone in the backyard was filled with jealousy.
Marquis Nanyang is going to pamper the fourth young lady to the sky.
At the same time, the fixed names of the four maids created by Tang Cheng also became known to everyone.
Tang Xin: “…”
When one coral disappears, another one appears.
The name remains unchanged, but the maidservants come and go.
The power of the plot is so strong that it can make this all come together.
Fourth sister’s actions really leave me speechless.
But now that Coral has been replaced by a different person, will the subsequent plot development remain the same
In addition to plant-related abilities, knowing the plot of the book is also her golden finger.
Now the golden finger in the book's plot has gone wrong with Tang Cheng, the ultimate cannon fodder.
Tang Xin felt a little anxious.
…
Recently, the fourth Miss Tang of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion has been making one joke after another. First, she drugged the Fourth Prince, and by accident he became the Prince Wen of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. A few days ago, it was revealed that she was pregnant. A stupid, brainless, talentless and immoral concubine of the Marquis's Mansion was lucky enough to become the fiancée of Prince Wen. Then, it was heard that the fourth Miss Tang was making a fuss about having an abortion. These wonderful dramas have become the topic of conversation among everyone after dinner.
In the teahouse, three handsome young men from aristocratic families gathered together.
"Everyone says that Fourth Miss Tang is stupid and ignorant, but I think she is quite smart. It is so much easier to remember only four names, Huai'an, don't you think so?" The Prince of Dingbei Marquis looked at Wen Huai'an with a smile.
"Miss Tang Si is very thoughtful." Wen Huaian drank his tea calmly.
The eldest young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion waved his fan and laughed muffledly. After laughing, he asked seriously.
"Huaian, are you really planning to marry Miss Tang Si as your legal wife?"
"Yeah." Wen Huaian nodded.
His physical condition is well known, and it is possible that the child in Tang Cheng's belly is his only child. It would be best to give the child a legitimate identity.
"I admire your courage."
The eldest son of the Duke of Qi's Mansion patted Wen Huaian's shoulder with admiration.
The Prince of Dingbei rolled his eyes.
"Huaian, Fourth Miss Tang is really not a good candidate for the first wife. You can marry a dignified, virtuous, and good at managing the household lady as your principal wife, and take Fourth Miss Tang as your secondary wife. Nanyang Marquis should be able to accept it. When Fourth Miss Tang gives birth to a child, the child can be registered as the principal wife."
"This is a good suggestion, Huai'an, what do you think?"
The eldest young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion strongly agreed. You know, although Wen Huaian had difficulty in having children, there were still many noble ladies who wanted to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Having difficulty in having children did not mean that the family line would be extinct. Those noble ladies who admired Wen Huaian all felt that they would be the lucky one.
Unfortunately, all this was done first by the brainless Miss Tang Si.
Wen Huaian flatly refused.
Because of his weak constitution, he was not interested in women, so Tang Cheng was an accident.
Wen Huaian had no intention of taking his anger out on Tang Cheng.
It doesn’t matter that Tang Cheng can’t be the first wife. His mother is in charge of the backyard of the Duke’s Mansion. After his mother passes away, he can also send someone to take charge of the backyard.
When the two saw Wen Huaian refused without hesitation, they secretly felt sorry. They all understood Wen Huaian's temper and did not continue to persuade him.
…
Jian'an Earl's Mansion
Yao Hong hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to carefully report the situation: "Miss, there is news from the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion that the coral we bought was dealt with by the Nanyang Marquis."
"Marquis Nanyang also sent twenty servants to Fourth Miss Tang. Do we still need to bribe the maidservants around Fourth Miss Tang?"
Liu Jintong's expression changed slightly.
As expected, she is the most beloved daughter of Marquis Nanyang. No matter what trouble that idiot Tang Cheng gets into, Marquis Nanyang will be the first to protect her and clean up the mess for her.
"We'll talk about it later."
Although the Marquis of Nanyang doted on his concubine's daughter to death, which was criticized, in addition to his hereditary title, he was also a third-rank official in the court and was highly valued by the emperor.
Now there is an additional powerful Duke Zhenguo Mansion to protect them.
Liu Jintong didn't want to expose himself at this time.
Tang Cheng, this idiot, has such good luck that it makes people jealous. Fortunately, Tang Cheng has always been a troublemaker and always brings about his own death. It was the same in his previous life. She should put Tang Cheng aside and focus her energy on other enemies.
Yaohong felt relieved when she heard that. In fact, she didn't want to reach out to Fourth Miss Tang, who was now heavily protected by Marquis Nanyang.
When Liu Jintong gave up on dealing with Tang Cheng, Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, came to visit.
Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Nanyang, received Mrs. Min. When she learned that Mrs. Min came to discuss the wedding date, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face and she said apologetically.
"Madam, the fourth girl's marriage is decided by the Marquis. Why don't I ask the Marquis for his opinion before I give you an answer?"
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo: "..."
The level of favor enjoyed by the Fourth Miss Tang opened Min's eyes but also gave her a headache.
"It seems that this is the only way."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo returned empty-handed.
After the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo left, the embarrassment and apology on Zhang's face disappeared without a trace, and she drank tea leisurely.
If we were to say who wanted to marry Tang Cheng the most, it would be Zhang.
Unfortunately, Tang Cheng's marriage was controlled by the Marquis, so it was difficult for Zhang to interfere. Of course, Zhang never thought of interfering.
The Marquis always dotes on the fourth girl better than the concubine in the backyard.
For the sake of the fourth girl, no concubine in the backyard has been pregnant for more than ten years, and the marquis has not favored any of the concubines, because the fourth girl's deceased mother was the apple of the marquis's eye.
Zhang was very satisfied with this.
Thinking that the fourth girl would soon marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Zhang's lips curled up slightly and she was in a very good mood.
