Shen Tang looked at the second young master Xie who was riding on the horse with high spirits.
Xie Guiyin was really curious about what Shen Tang wanted to say to him.
But despite his curiosity, he did not forget that he was here to welcome the bride on behalf of his brother. He said, "My brother is still waiting for the wedding. If you have anything to say, it will not be too late to speak after Miss Shen enters the gate of my Jingyang Palace."
Shen Tang said, "No one from my Pingyuan Marquis Mansion will ride in the sedan chair of your Jingyang Prince Mansion today. Please go back."
Xie Guiyin frowned.
Mother Sun thought that Shen Tang was so angry that he married Shen Xi off, and wanted to make a few requests to the Jingyang Palace before getting into the bridal sedan, so she did not stop him. However, she did not expect that the second girl actually refused to marry.
The Second Madam was worried that the Second Girl would cause trouble, so she sent her to look after her. When she saw that the Second Girl was behaving herself, she thought the Second Madam was being too suspicious. She didn't expect that the Second Girl's behaving herself was just to paralyze everyone.
Does the second girl know what she is doing? !
Xie Guiyin, riding on horseback, suddenly laughed, "Miss Shen, do you know what the consequences will be if you play tricks on our Jingyang Palace?"
Shen Tang was not at all flustered and said calmly, "No need to thank Second Young Master for reminding me. I know the power of the Jingyang Palace."
"The reason we let the bridal sedan go back empty is because the prince doesn't need a wedding to bring him good luck. He will wake up before tonight."
Xie Guiyin asked, "Is Second Miss Shen so sure? What if there's no wedding ceremony and brother doesn't wake up?"
"If he doesn't wake up, I, Shen Tang, will be buried with him!"
Shen Tang's voice was clear and resounding.
The noisy doorway suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was Xie Guiyin who came to welcome the bride today, but Xie Guimo's bodyguard Chen Qi also came. Chen Qi was puzzled, "Second Miss Shen was so sure that she would bet her life on my prince's safety, so why didn't she want to get on the sedan chair at Prince Jingyang's mansion?"
Shen Tang said, "The one who is engaged to your family's prince is my eldest sister. It won't work if I try to get married. I will be a widow and I will be married, but your family's prince will be fine. How will we sisters get along in the future?"
"My eldest sister is the closest person to me in this world. I can't snatch her marriage away when I know your young master will be fine."
Chen Qi said, "The prince is still unconscious. How can Miss Shen be so sure that he will be fine?"
"We were ordered to come and welcome the bride, but Miss Shen asked us to go back in a few words. We cannot bear the punishment from His Majesty."
No matter what she said, she had to get into the bridal sedan.
Shen Tang took off the golden hairpin on her head and stuck it into her arm.
The blood instantly stained the wedding dress and dripped onto the ground.
Shen Tang suppressed his trembling forehead and asked Chen Qi, "Is this enough for you to report back to King Jingyang?"
Chen Qi was frightened. He had not expected Shen Tang to be so stubborn. He was afraid that she would do something more extreme, so he hurriedly said, "Enough, enough..."
Shen Tang pulled out the golden hairpin and threw it at Chen Qi's feet.
The golden hairpin collided with the bluestone ground, making a crisp sound.
Shen Tang covered his arm and turned to go into the house.
Ginkgo supported her, her face pale. Shen Tang said, "Help me go to the ancestral hall."
Shen Sui and the second and third masters were all in Songhe Hall. When they learned that Shen Tang refused to marry and rushed to the gate, the sedan chair from Prince Jingyang's Mansion had already left.
Knowing that Shen Tang had gone to the ancestral hall, Shen Sui went there to find her. When she entered the yard, she saw Shen Tang kneeling outside the hall in her wedding dress.
It wasn't just Shen Sui who went to the ancestral hall; the Second Madam and her companions also went there. Seeing Shen Tang, the Second Madam was furious, her lips trembling with anger. "If you don't want to be married off, just say so. No one will force you. Just because you're unhappy, do you want the entire Pingyuan Marquisate to suffer with you?!"
Isn't it enough to force her to marry someone else?
Shen Tang's lips curled up in a mocking smile, "Second Aunt, aren't you curious why I dared to gamble my life instead of getting into the bridal sedan at Prince Jingyang's mansion?"
The second wife was almost mad with anger. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Why would you do such a thing?"
Shen Tang's eyes swept across the Second Wife's face, then looked at Shen Sui and said, "Father, I will kneel in the ancestral hall until the Prince of Jingyang wakes up."
"I'll tell you when Prince Jingyang wakes up."
The second wife had to dig her bright red nails into the flesh to suppress the urge to hit someone.
The Second Wife had never been so angry before. She was asked why he did something, but he didn't tell her. Wasn't he playing a trick on her?!
But Shen Sui was present, so she had to endure her anger no matter how angry she was.
Shen Tang knelt, kneeling straight.
The arm is still bleeding.
Shen Sui didn't know why his daughter did such a thing, but he knew that his daughter was not such a willful person. No matter how willful she was, she would never say that she would take her life to be buried with others.
The bridal sedan from Prince Jingyang's Palace has already left. Now there is nothing else to do except pray that the Prince Jingyang is rescued.
Shen Sui said nothing and turned away.
He didn't say anything, so what else could others say? They could only follow him.
After Shen Sui and the others left, the maid brought some medicine for wounds. Ginkgo carefully helped Shen Tang lift up the wedding dress at her arm and applied the medicine to stop the bleeding.
The wound wasn't big, but it looked a little scary because a lot of blood was coming out.
But the most frightening thing is not these injuries, but whether the Prince of Jingyang can wake up.
Ginkgo's tears fell, "If anything happens to Prince Jingyang, you just..."
The three words "I'm dead" rolled around in my throat several times but couldn't come out.
Shen Tang chuckled, "He won't die, and neither will I."
But she had to suffer the physical pain today.
There was a curfew on the streets at night, and if the news of Prince Jingyang waking up could not be passed back to the mansion immediately, she would have to kneel until tomorrow morning.
But thinking of the grievances her mother had suffered, her eldest brother who was murdered and disappeared, and her second brother who was buried alive, she had to convince her father as soon as possible that the second wife had evil intentions towards him.
As long as she could make her father believe, even if it was just to plant a seed of doubt, all the physical pain she had endured would not be in vain.
But Shen Tang had been brought up in a pampered environment and had never suffered such hardship. After kneeling for a while, he felt that his knees did not belong to him anymore. In addition, the injury on his arm was still painful, which made the torture even more severe.
Shen Tang was mentally prepared to kneel all night, but what she didn't expect was that her father came before noon and helped her up while she was kneeling on the ground and struggling to stay standing.
Shen Tang's eyes were red. She thought her father was worried about her and couldn't bear to let her kneel even if she made such a mistake. She choked and said, "Father, I'm fine..."
Shen Sui said, "Get up, Prince Jingyang has woken up."
Shen Tang, “…???”
Wake up...wake up?
Shen Tang looked surprised.
Shen Sui frowned in surprise.
Isn’t my daughter sure that Prince Jingyang will wake up?
How come the person actually woke up but looked in disbelief?
Shen Sui didn't know that Shen Tang was not surprised that Prince Jingyang woke up. She was surprised that someone who only woke up at night in his previous life could wake up early, and so much early.
But this was a good thing for her, as it meant she didn't have to kneel anymore.
Shen Tang was delighted but also speechless.
Fortunately, Prince Jingyang’s Palace still had to welcome a bride to celebrate the occasion. If there was no wedding to delay them, people would have woken up faster.
