Chapter 120 Dialect
What kind of example is this that she gave? It would be better if she didn't give it at all.
Princess Roujia was so ashamed that she wanted to die.
Afraid that she would suffocate herself, Shen Tang pulled the quilt, but Princess Roujia pulled it very hard and Shen Tang couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried. Shen Tang felt relieved. With that kind of strength, she should be fine and would recover after eating well and sleeping well for two days.
Shen Tang suppressed a laugh and said, "Come out quickly, I won't say anything more. I know my elder brother is just average, you don't look down on him..."
Princess Roujia, "......!!!"
Sister Haitang, do you want to listen to what I am saying?
Those who know her are just being modest on behalf of her elder brother, while those who don't know her would drown her with spit when they hear her say that about Prince Ning.
Her face was burning hot, and the quilt was so hot that Princess Roujia couldn't stay any longer. She opened her eyes and said, "Sister Shen Tang, stop teasing me!"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
She likes Princess Roujia and hopes that she can become her sister-in-law, but she also hopes that both Princess Roujia and her elder brother can marry the person they like. She reveals her elder brother's life experience to Princess Roujia, saying that she is trustworthy and will not spread it to others. She does not want Princess Roujia to think that Xiao Huan is her cousin. Putting aside the bondage of cousins, perhaps the two of them have a chance.
Shen Tang no longer mentioned Xiao Huan, and the warmth on Princess Roujia's face gradually faded. They talked about other things, and the two of them talked about everything.
Princess Roujia's pale face turned a lot redder. After a while, there was a knock on the door. The maid Xiangqiao said outside, "Princess, it's time to take medicine."
"Come in."
The door creaked open, Xiangqiao came in with medicine, followed by Ginkgo.
Looking at the pitch-black medicine, Princess Roujia felt bitter before she even drank it. Xiangqiao exclaimed, "Miss Shen's conversation with the princess was more effective than the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. The princess's complexion has improved a lot."
Princess Roujia's illness was caused by fright. Once the fear fades and she becomes happy, her illness will definitely be half cured, if not completely cured.
Princess Roujia didn't like taking medicine, but she still pinched her nose and drank it, then she rinsed her mouth with tea and stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth to suppress the bitterness.
Xiangqiao was glad that Shen Tang was there. The princess had to beg her many times to take the medicine, and the princess had coaxed her for a long time but she just refused to drink it. Now that Miss Shen was there, the princess took the medicine much more easily.
Shen Tang stayed with Princess Roujia for more than half an hour. Princess Roujia looked a little tired. Shen Tang said, "I'll go back today. I'll come to see you someday. When you recover, you can also come to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to find me."
Princess Roujia's face was full of reluctance. Prince Duan and Princess Duan had a good relationship, but there was only one concubine in the inner house, who was brought in when Princess Duan was pregnant. She only had a pair of children, Prince Duan's son and Princess Roujia. Princess Roujia didn't even have a companion. It would be so nice if Sister Shen Tang was her sister-in-law. Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Shen Tang's thoughts, and her ears instantly turned red.
Princess Roujia asked Xiangqiao to send Shen Tang out of the house. Shen Tang couldn't refuse, so he agreed to Princess Roujia's request.
I walked out of the courtyard where Princess Roujia lived and headed towards the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion. Just as I reached the garden, I suddenly heard a cry of "Ouch!", "Be careful, you've lost my child..."
Shen Tang's mind was tense, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Get rid of the child...
Did you hear some incredible gossip?
Shen Tang and Ginkgo were both a little embarrassed. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. However, Xiangqiao looked normal. Shen Tang felt strange and glanced towards the source of the voice. He saw the maid saying in disdain, "Why are you taking so long to dress a child?"
The maid squatting on the ground said, "The child is too young to wear it."
Shen Tang, "..."
It's not a child, it's a pair of shoes.
How could someone refer to shoes as children, and say it so loudly, without worrying about causing misunderstanding?
Shen Tang shook her head and laughed, but after walking a dozen steps forward, she faltered and suddenly turned around to see the maid walking away. Ginkgo was walking behind her and was not prepared for Shen Tang to stop suddenly. She bumped into her and said, "Miss, did I hurt you?"
Xiangqiao looked at Shen Tang, "What happened to Second Miss Shen?"
Something was churning in Shen Tang's heart, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She just thought of the letter that Chunlan asked someone to send to the Fourth Madam. The food box contained not food, but a shoe.
Shoes, kid.
Chunlan was most likely telling the Fourth Madam that there was a child in the lunch box!
The day Chunlan disappeared was the day she and her second brother were born, so the person in the lunch box was definitely her second brother!
The Fourth Madam is Chunlan's master. She can understand the letter that Chunlan cannot understand at a glance. So even if it costs four thousand taels or even more to redeem Chunlan, she must redeem Chunlan. She even allows the person who redeems Chunlan to use the name of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion when necessary, because redeeming Chunlan is to find her second brother. If her father knows about it, he will not only not blame her, but will also be grateful to the Fourth Madam.
Thinking that Qiaohui, the daughter of Madam Sun who lived with the Second Madam, also disappeared on the same day, Shen Tang suspected that his second brother might still be alive. If it was true as Shen Xian said, that he was buried alive as soon as he was born, Chunlan would not have sent a letter to the Fourth Madam. Chunlan was just a maid. Even if the master and servant had a deep affection for each other, Chunlan should have known that the Fourth Madam would not spend four thousand taels or even more to redeem her at Wangzhou Baihua Tower.
Shen Tang's heart leaped with joy, tears glistening in his eyes, leaving Xiang Qiao stunned, "Second Miss Shen..."
Shen Tang pointed at the two maids walking away and asked, "Where are those two maids from?"
Xiang Qiao was bewildered. She didn't understand why Shen Tang was asking about the ancestral origins of the two maids in Prince Duan's Mansion. However, Shen Tang had saved Princess Roujia's life, so this wasn't a difficult matter. Xiang Qiao said, "I'll go ask for Miss Shen Er."
Xiangqiao started walking away, but the maids didn't go far. She called out to them and they stopped.
Xiangqiao waved, and two maids came over to her. Xiangqiao asked, "Where are you from?"
The two maids didn't understand why they were asked about their ancestral origins. There was nothing they couldn't tell. The maids said, "We are all from Yunzhou."
Shen Tang asked, "Besides Yunzhou, where else would people refer to shoes as children?"
Xiangqiao, "..."
It turns out that Miss Shen was looking for a maid because she was interested in her dialect.
The two maids said, "Besides our hometown Yunzhou, we also know of Chuanzhou and Qizhou. I don't know if there are other places that speak this dialect."
These states are adjacent to each other, so it is normal for them to speak the same dialect.
Shen Tang said, "Thank you very much."
The two maids, "......???"
Second Miss Shen is the savior of the Princess of Prince Duan's Mansion. She doesn't deserve their gratitude even though she just asked a few questions.
Shen Tang had been walking slowly just now, but after asking, he walked much faster as he left Prince Duan's mansion. Xiang Qiao felt that it must be related to the dialect.
After leaving Prince Duan's mansion, Shen Tang got on the carriage and urged the servant, "Hurry back to the Marquis' mansion."
The servant thought Shen Tang had something urgent to do, so he drove the carriage very fast. The carriage just stopped at the Marquis' Mansion, but before it even stopped, Shen Tang got out of the carriage without Ginkgo's help.
After entering the mansion, Shen Tang asked, "Where is Manager Li?"
The servant said, "I'll go call Manager Li."
Manager Li was checking the accounts. When he heard that Shen Tang was looking for him, he hurried over. Shen Tang called Manager Li aside and said, "Manager Li, please help me find out where Chunlan, the maid from the fourth room who disappeared fifteen years ago, is from."
Manager Li found it strange that the Second Young Lady was looking for a maidservant who had been missing for so many years. If she wanted to know, she could just ask the Fourth Madam directly. She would definitely know.
Steward Li was a smart man. Shen Tang didn't ask the Fourth Madam, but asked him to investigate instead. It was obvious that he didn't want the Fourth Madam to know. Steward Li said, "This matter shouldn't be difficult to investigate. I'll report it to the Second Miss once I find out."
