Chapter 457 Angry
As soon as the eunuch who announced the imperial decree left, Li Taohua was so angry that she smashed things.
She picked up the teacup and held it up, but looking at the delicate pattern on the teapot and then realizing that the teacup was a set, she thought if she smashed it, it wouldn't match, so she put it down again.
She picked up the vase next to her and recognized that it was an antique. She had picked it out herself and it cost her a thousand taels of silver. She put it down reluctantly.
Tang Dafu was worried that she would hurt herself, so he kept supporting her with his hands. When he saw that she had calmed down, he stayed by her side, fearing that she would suddenly want to smash something again.
"I'm so pissed!" Li Taohua raged. "This Prince Zhong's mansion is haunted by ghosts! What kind of person is Princess Yuanying? She actually wants to marry into the Tang family! Let alone a man as beautiful as our brother Chen, even if he were plain-looking or held a low position, he wouldn't marry such a vicious woman. They can't force us, they can't plot against us, and they're just forcing us. How despicable."
Tang Luwu and her brother, as well as Qin Huiyin, looked at Tang Yichen who was sitting next to them drinking tea, and all of their beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
"Are you still in the mood for tea?" Li Taohua looked at Tang Yichen. "If this vicious woman marries you, your life will be over. Even if you don't touch her, she is still the mistress of this family, and all of us will be at her mercy. She is also a royal relative, you dare not make her angry. If she gets wronged and makes a scene in the palace, all of us will have our heads moved off. You can't marry her even if it means you are marrying a beggar."
"The imperial edict didn't say when to marry her, and getting married won't happen overnight. There's no need to rush." Tang Yichen said, "I still have official business to attend to, so I'll be going first. You all should get some rest early."
Li Taohua pointed at Tang Yichen's back and said, "Look, I'm so worried about this kid that my chest hurts, but he's fine. If he dares to marry that vicious woman, we'll split up and live separately."
Qin Huiyin said, "Mother, my eldest brother is right. The imperial decree has been issued. There's no point in rushing now. Getting married won't happen overnight. Don't be anxious. We can slowly find a way to withdraw."
Tang Yi smiled calmly and said, "That Princess Yuanying is a useless person. Such a useless person might not even live to see the day of marriage."
Li Taohua stared at Tang Yi and smiled: "You are a doctor, not a poison doctor, don't do anything rash. The previous incident has already been caught by Prince Zhong's Mansion. If you cause any more trouble, no one can save you."
He was a royal relative, how could he be killed whenever he wanted? If he was killed and the cause of death was found to be wrong, the heads of the entire family would be enough to be chopped off.
"Mom, don't worry about it for now, we will handle it. Take care of yourself and don't be so angry." Qin Huiyin advised.
"Yes, your temper is so strong." Tang Dafu comforted him, "The children have grown up, and they will worry about these things. They will handle them... Ouch, wife, my ears are going to fall off."
Li Taohua pinched Tang Dafu's ear and said, "Who has a better life than you? You don't have to worry about food or clothing, you don't have to worry about money, and your children have become successful on their own. Are you God's own son?"
Qin Huiyin brought some rice dumplings with fermented rice into Tang Yichen's study. She put the midnight snack aside, sat opposite Tang Yichen, and read a book.
Tang Yichen was almost done with his work and when he stopped to rest, he discovered Qin Huiyin's presence.
"Why didn't you call me when you came?"
"You just arrived at the Ministry of Industry, so you must first adapt to the official duties there. I don't have anything else to do, so it's just the same as waiting for you here. The dumplings were still a little hot just now, so now is the perfect time to eat them. You can eat first."
Tang Yichen tasted the rice dumplings and said, "Today's rice dumplings are sweeter than usual."
"You're feeling so bitter right now, so of course you want to have something sweet."
"Nonsense. How can you be so sad, brother?"
"Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you're okay. You're always accustomed to hiding all your emotions inside because you're the eldest and the backbone of the Tang family. Everyone else can panic, but you can't."
Tang Yichen ate the glutinous rice balls and said, "Yinyin, I'm not bitter. With you by my side, I feel it's worth it no matter what I do. This marriage really caught me off guard. But I've already made up my mind and know what to do. It's just that the Emperor has just granted me this marriage, so I can't try to get out of it right away, otherwise it will bring trouble to the Tang family."
"It's my fault for giving you such a bad idea. If you hadn't been promoted, and Prince Zhong's Mansion was wary of you and released me, they wouldn't have been so eager to use such means to force you."
"My promotion is a good thing. You tried to help me achieve merit and gain my respect. Why are you blaming yourself? In other words, the Emperor's decision to grant me marriage at this time is actually a test. He is testing whether I am obedient enough and can be used by him. I will accept this marriage first, and we can deal with other matters later when the time comes! Princess Yuanying is disabled and in poor health. No one can predict what will happen in the future."
She might not even make it to the day of her marriage.
"The worst outcome would be for Princess Yuanying to marry us, and we'd split up and live separately. However, I won't let this worst-case scenario happen."
Seeing that Tang Yichen still had so many official duties, Qin Huiyin asked, "Can I take a look at the documents from the Ministry of Works? I can't help with the affairs of the Censorate, but I might be able to help with the Ministry of Works."
"Okay, come here." Tang Yichen waved. "I've just been transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and I have a lot to adapt to. Don't tell me, even if I'm smart, I don't understand how these blueprints work."
"I can be your teacher in this regard," Qin Huiyin leaned over. "The Ministry of Industry is truly a gathering place for all the world's greatest talents. These blueprints are incredibly ingenious."
Chen Yu walked in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin: "Second Miss, Miss Zhilan said she wants to see you for something."
"Okay, I understand." Qin Huiyin responded and looked at Tang Yichen, "Brother, I'll go take a look first."
"it is good."
Qin Huiyin came out of the study and saw Zhilan coming towards her: "What's wrong?"
"Master Bai is ill, and it looks quite serious." Zhilan said, "The Second Young Master rushed over to see him, but he asked you to come over."
"Then go and have a look!" Qin Huiyin turned around and said to Chen Yu, "Tell my eldest brother that I have something to do and leave first. Come to the study to see him tomorrow."
"Yes."
Qin Huiyin brought Zhilan to Puyang Qiubai's courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Puyang Qiubai screaming in pain.
"Press him down, don't let him move, and then tie him up." Tang Yi said with a smile.
As soon as Qin Huiyin entered the room, she saw Mo Yan and Mo Yu tying up Puyang Qiubai with ropes.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
"Sister, this Master Bai has mania. I have to control him first and then prescribe medicine for him, otherwise he will easily hurt others." Tang Yi explained with a smile.
