When Shen Tang returns home, Shen Xi will definitely accompany him.

In the carriage, Shen Xian looked at Shen Tang and said through gritted teeth, "My dear sister, how much of your abilities have you hidden from me?!"

Shen Tang, wrapped in his cloak, glanced at her and said, "You and I go in and out together, when have I ever hidden anything from you?"

It was because they went in and out together that she was even more surprised.

He had never practiced sword dancing before, but he danced so well that he won the prize at the Spring Banquet in Shouwang Mansion.

Now he can even swim.

Thinking of the look Miss Li had given her, Shen Xian felt uneasy. She asked, "When did you learn how to swim?"

Shen Tang was very unhappy with the tone of questioning a criminal.

She leaned against the carriage and said, "I'm going to say I just learned it in the lake. Do you believe me?"

Shen Xi said coldly, "I'm so easy to fool!"

If you don’t believe it, forget it.

She didn't even tell her father about her rebirth after death, so how could she tell Shen Xi?

No matter how curious she was, she had to suppress it. They knew very well how many people she and her daughter had stuffed into her Qingyi Garden. Her every word and action was under their watch. No matter how hard they tried, they would not know that she learned how to swim in the Jingyang Palace.

Shen Tang didn't say anything. Shen Xi was going crazy but she didn't know what to do.

Shen Tang felt that she had caught a cold in the carriage and kept sneezing and having a runny nose. As soon as she returned home, the news that she was "accidentally" pushed into the water by the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion reached the ears of the old lady.

Shen Tang did not go back to Qingyi Garden directly, but went to Songhe Hall first.

Before she even entered the house, the sound of her sneezing spread. The old lady was distressed and said, "How could she fall into the water when she was leaving the house for no reason? Have you called a doctor?"

The maid hurriedly replied, "Manager Li has already sent someone to call for the doctor."

The old lady said to Shen Tang, "Hurry back. If you fall into the water in this weather, you will definitely catch a cold and suffer."

Ginkgo didn't know why her daughter was so stubborn. She obviously didn't need to come to Songhe Hall, but she insisted on making this trip. When the old lady gave the order, she quickly helped Shen Tang away.

After Shen Tang left, the second wife asked Shen Xian, "What happened?"

Shen Xian bit her lip before saying, "I don't know either. We were on the boat when we saw Prince Duan and his crew's boat approaching. I don't know why Miss Li rushed forward and pushed Second Sister off the boat. In her panic, Second Sister dragged Miss Li down with her..."

After a pause, Shen Xian said, "It was my cousin who rescued Miss Li."

The second wife's brows were twisted into knots at first, then relaxed.

It was a blessing for his nephew, who was of no use in his mother's family, to marry the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.

But how could Shen Tang swim?

The Second Lady asked, "When did the Second Miss learn to swim?"

Shen Xian shook her head, "I don't know either."

The old lady also found it strange. Generally, ladies from wealthy families would not learn to swim. They did not have the conditions. Even young masters from aristocratic families did not know how to swim. Where did Tang'er learn it?

The old lady said, "It's a good thing to be able to swim."

If she hadn't been swimming, she would have most likely been rescued by Young Master Wang. Before they even got married, there were already several concubines in her room, and she was sleeping with Liu Mianhua. Not to mention that Shen Tang was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingyuan, even if she was a concubine, the old lady would not agree to marry her to Young Master Wang. Marrying such a man would ruin the life of the eldest daughter of Marquis Yongning.

When the old lady heard that it wasn't just Young Master Wang who went into the water to save people, but also the Prince of Jingyang, her hand fiddling with her Buddhist beads froze, "The Prince of Jingyang also went into the water to save people?"

Mother Wang served tea to the old lady and said with a smile, "That's right. Young Master Wang jumped into the water, and right after, Prince Jingyang also jumped in. It's just that our second daughter is so capable that she didn't give Prince Jingyang a chance to save him."

Old lady, "..."

The old lady raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, really not knowing what to say.

Her granddaughter had two good opportunities to become the Crown Prince of Jingyang's consort, but she just let them slip away.

For some reason, the old lady always felt that there would be a third time.

……

Shen Tang caught a cold.

Even though I drank ginger soup to dispel the cold in time, and the doctor took my pulse and prescribed medicine, it still didn't prevent the disease. My head was dizzy, my nose was blocked, and my voice changed.

Shen Tang leaned against the large pillow, her head feeling so heavy it didn't feel like her own. Ginkgo came in with some medicine and said, "Miss, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion has also caught a cold. I heard she has a high fever..."

She is so sick even though she can swim. Miss Li almost drowned. She was frightened enough and was rescued by Young Master Wang. Her reputation was damaged. It would be strange if she was not seriously ill.

However, Shen Tang would not feel sorry for her. The Yongning Marquis's family planned to marry a beautiful girl from another family to bring good luck to her sick son, but they were angry and embarrassed when their plan failed. Now their own daughter has to marry a man of bad character. I wonder if the Yongning Marquis's family can empathize with them. More importantly, Miss Li's fall into the water this time was her own fault and she could not blame others.

Not only Shen Tang and Miss Li were sick, but Young Master Wang also caught a cold. Ginkgo was a little curious, "I wonder if Prince Jingyang caught a cold..."

"He won't get cold."

Shen Tang blurted out without even thinking.

Ginkgo asked, "How did you know that, young lady?"

How did she know?

We've lived under the same roof for three years, how could she not know?

Can someone who takes cold showers in the middle of winter catch a cold just by soaking in the lake?

Of course, this couldn't be said. Shen Tang said, "People who practice martial arts don't catch colds that easily."

Ginkgo said, "Young Master Wang also knows martial arts."

Shen Tang, "..."

This maid has even learned to refute her.

Shen Tang glared at Ginkgo.

Ginkgo said, "I understand. Young Master Wang is not very good at martial arts."

Ginkgo handed the medicine to Shen Tang. Shen Tang drank it while enduring the bitterness, then rinsed his mouth and stuffed candied fruit into his mouth.

Shen Tang didn't know how effective this medicine was in treating typhoid fever, but it was definitely effective in treating insomnia. Not long after drinking it, he fell into a deep sleep.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Shen Tang opened his eyes and saw a person sitting beside the bed. Through his sleepy eyes, he saw a silver mask.

Shen Tang was startled awake with a start.

Why is he here again?

Shen Tang suspected that sooner or later he would be scared to death by him.

There were only the two of them in the room. Ginkgo was not there. He must have gone out to guard the door.

Shen Tang wanted to speak, but started coughing first.

The man said distressedly, "How could he get so sick from just a fall into the water?"

Shen Tang coughed for a while, almost crying, "Do you know that the lake water is very cold today?"

The man said, "Then you should fall into the lake."

Did she want to drop it?

Can this bastard even speak?!

Shen Tang secretly poked him with his eyes.

The man asked, "How can you swim?"

I always feel that this statement was made with some gnashing of teeth.

Shen Tang was surprised to hear this. "Is it bad that I can swim?"

"it is good."

"very good!"

Sure enough, it was just gnashing of teeth.

Shen Tang looked at him suspiciously.

The man asked, "Who taught you that?"

Shen Tang would definitely not tell him that it was the Prince of Jingyang who taught her.

In her previous life, she was "accidentally" pushed into the water by Princess Chun'an and almost drowned. Xie Guimo arrived in time to rescue her. Later, he asked her to learn how to swim, saying that she was easy to be hated by others and he could not always arrive in time to save her, so she was forced to learn it. However, the facts proved that he was right. She was indeed easy to be hated by others, and it is always good to have many skills.

Seeing the man looking at him, Shen Tang felt that his eyes were strangely familiar. Shen Tang said, "Maybe he was born with this ability."
