Chapter 145 Dizziness
I don’t know what medicine I was given. It’s been a long time since I woke up from my coma, and my head is still dizzy.
Ginkgo came over with her bag in her arms and saw Shen Tang sitting on a rock. She had been searching for a long time and had been worried about it for a long time. Her eyes were red. "Finally I found the girl. I didn't scare you to death just now..."
Shen Tang comforted Ginkgo, "Don't you know that Chen Shan is secretly protecting me? Why are you still so worried about me?"
Ginkgo knew that Chen Shan was in the dark, but what if Chen Shan failed to protect her? She was the girl's personal maid, and she would be worried as long as the girl was not around.
Ginkgo brought the skirt over. Shen Tang looked towards the bamboo house. Xie Guimo said, "Go ahead. I'll be guarding here. No one will go over there."
Shen Tang went to the bamboo house to change clothes.
She just changed her skirt and it was done quickly. When she came out of the bamboo house, she saw Xie Guimo standing next to the bamboo forest. He was tall and straight, like a pine or a cypress. Shen Tang knew in her heart that although she was reborn, if Xie Guimo hadn't protected her, she would have lost her life, and she was afraid that she would die even faster than in her previous life.
Shen Tang walked towards Xie Guimo. A maid from Prince Shun's mansion came over and was startled to see Shen Tang and Xie Guimo standing together. Then she said, "Second Miss Shen is here. The banquet has begun. The princess sent this servant to look for you."
Looking for her?
If Xie Guimo had not changed her out of the box, Princess Ding'an would not have been able to find her even if she had her maids turn Prince Shun's mansion upside down.
He helped to plot against her and pretended to be clueless. She wanted to see what expression Princess Ding'an would have when she saw her coming back.
The maid led the way, and Shen Tang and Xie Guimo walked towards the garden. Xie Guimo asked Shen Tang, "Are you still dizzy?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm not dizzy anymore."
The maid walked in front with her eyes wide open. It seemed that Miss Shen Er and Prince Jingyang were very familiar with each other. But when Prince Jingyang was poisoned and unconscious, he needed a wedding to bring good luck. Hadn't Miss Shen Er preferred to be buried with Prince Jingyang than marry him?
How come these two people are here in the bamboo house of Prince Shun’s mansion?
The maidservant was as curious as a cat scratching its head, but she didn't even dare to look back, let alone ask.
Shen Tang did not avoid Xie Guimo and let her go first, or go by herself. The two of them walked side by side. In the lively banquet, all the ladies and young masters from wealthy families looked at the two of them.
Shen Tang has a beautiful face and skin as white as cream, and Xie Guimo's face is even more beautiful. There is no one more handsome than him in the whole of Kyoto. The two of them walked over, and the sunlight shone on them, as if they had walked out of a painting.
Chu Yi and Prince Duan's son Xiao Xun sat at the same table. The more he looked at the two of them, the more he felt that they were a perfect match.
Chu Yi said, "They actually came here together."
Xiao Xun smiled and said, "It looks like I'll be able to drink in Prince Jingyang's wedding wine soon."
The people around were also discussing it. After all, Shen Tang had refused to marry Xie Guimo, and Xie Guimo had even saved her in the street and healed her dislocated arm in order to repay her for not marrying him...
However, despite all the talk, few people thought that there would be any sparks between the two. They had both refused to marry, and anyone with any dignity would not marry again. What's more, he was the Prince of Jingyang, who was surrounded by the ladies of prominent families in Kyoto. He could marry any of them if he wanted, and he would not hang himself on a tree.
We must have met by chance and came here together.
Candid.
Seeing Shen Tang coming over with Xie Guimo, Princess Ding'an frowned. She looked at the seats arranged for Shen Tang and Shen Xie in Prince Shun's Mansion, but did not see Shen Xie. A bad premonition flashed through her heart.
She stood up, walked towards Shen Tang, and said with a smile, "Where did Second Miss Shen go just now? The banquet has already started for a quarter of an hour."
Although he knew the answer, Shen Tang replied, "I fainted in the pavilion, and my elder sister helped me to the bamboo house to rest."
Princess Ding'an asked, "Where is Miss Shen? Why can't I see her?"
Shen Tang said, "I'm looking for her too. Maybe she got lost. Princess Ding'an, please send a few more maids to look for her."
Princess Ding'an turned around and instructed the maid. Seeing Xie Guimo walking towards his seat, Princess Ding'an asked, "Why is Miss Shen Er with the Prince of Jingyang?"
Shen Tang said, "We met on the trail and came here together."
"I see."
Princess Ding'an smiled and said, "Second Miss Shen is late, so she deserves to be punished. Second Miss Shen's sword dance is extraordinary, so why not let her sword dance be her punishment?"
Princess Ding'an was helping someone plot against her, and Shen Tang was already struggling to keep a smile on her face. And she even asked her to dance with a sword, as if she was being bullied. Shen Tang refused, "Princess, please forgive me. I'm still a little dizzy and can't really dance with a sword..."
Shen Tang was "drunk" in the pavilion and was helped to rest by Shen Ying. Many ladies knew about it. She used the excuse that she was dizzy and couldn't dance with the sword. Princess Ding'an didn't punish her or say anything. Although the guest should follow the host's wishes, the host couldn't force her. Princess Ding'an was a little disappointed. She asked Shen Tang to sit down and then went about her own business.
The banquets were all similar, just enjoying singing and dancing, as well as the talents of the ladies and young masters from wealthy families. Shen Tang was almost plotted against and was in a bad mood. If it wasn't bad, he would have left directly. In addition, he couldn't find Shen Xi and couldn't go back alone, so he had to stay.
Shen Tang sat there, looking around from time to time, showing anxiety and worry. Anyone with eyes could see that she was anxious to find Shen Xi.
The lotus viewing banquet at Shun Wang Mansion lasted for an hour and a half. Shen Tang left the table twice and asked the maid in Shun Wang Mansion, "Have you found my elder sister?"
The maid shook her head, "Don't worry, Miss Shen Er, we're still looking..."
Shen Tang was just pretending. She knew that Shen Xian was not in Prince Shun's Mansion, and she was not really worried about Shen Xian.
After Shen Tang urged the maid, she returned to her seat. Princess Ding'an was sitting there. The maid came forward and whispered in her ear, "Princess, the big box has been sent out of the mansion..."
Princess Ding'an's brows were knotted.
It was the responsibility of Miss Shen Da to send Miss Shen Er out of the house. Why was the box out of the house while Miss Shen Er was still in her Shunwang Mansion?
Could it be that the person in the box is Miss Shen herself?
Princess Ding'an was a little annoyed, especially when she thought about Xie Guimo and Shen Tang coming together. She felt uneasy and regretted helping the Prince of Changping. She always had a feeling that a disaster was about to happen.
After the banquet, Shen Tang went to find Princess Ding'an, "Hasn't my elder sister been found yet?"
Princess Ding'an looked at Shen Tang, trying to read some clues from her face, but her worry didn't seem feigned. Princess Ding'an said, "A maid saw Miss Shen leave the mansion before the banquet started. I don't know if she has returned to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Why don't you go back and take a look?"
Shen Tang didn't want to stay in Prince Shun's mansion any longer, so he nodded and left with Ginkgo.
After urging the servant three times along the way, when the carriage stopped, Shen Tang got off the carriage and asked the gatekeeper, "Has the young lady returned home?"
The servant was a little confused, "The young lady sprained her ankle at Prince Shun's mansion and returned a quarter of an hour ago."
The second girl and the eldest girl went to Prince Shun’s Mansion together. Don’t you know?
...and he really came back.
Shen Xian went to Prince Shun's Mansion with her, so she must have a reasonable reason to come back early. However, it was not justifiable for her not to accompany Shen Xian when she sprained her ankle and came back early.
Shen Tang pretended to be relieved and walked into the mansion. He didn't go anywhere and went straight back to Qingyi Garden.
Chen Shan followed Shen Xian. When Shen Xian returned home, Chen Shan must have returned as well.
Shen Tang pushed open the door, walked in, and saw Xie Guimo sitting in her boudoir drinking tea.
