The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Inside the room, Shen Ran leaned on the large pillow, his eyes red and tears falling like beads from a broken string.

The maidservant was guarding the bedside, unable to say any words of comfort. The young lady was stubborn and wanted to see who was more important in the Second Madam's heart, herself or the eldest girl. She actually asked her to go out of the house to buy medicine that caused a rash all over her body. As soon as the news of the girl's rash spread, the Second Madam rushed back. She also said that the young lady was too suspicious. In the Second Madam's heart, how could the eldest girl compare with her.

Shen Ran felt much better at that time, and she blamed herself for being willful and causing the Second Madam more worries. Just when she was about to confess her guilt, the maid came hurriedly to report that Shen Xi was so itchy that she couldn't bear it, and the maids couldn't stop her, so the Second Madam left without looking back.

He turned around so abruptly without even looking back. Shen Ran's heart sank to the bottom and she smiled bitterly. She used to have excuses to comfort herself, but now she was in the same situation as Shen Xian and couldn't even find an excuse.

Even the maids began to suspect that the eldest wife had indeed given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the second wife had switched the boys?

The eldest house has no son, and after a hundred years of the marquis's life, the title will naturally be inherited by the second house. The second house has the motive to persecute the heirs of the eldest house. The second girl and the eldest girl are both daughters of the eldest house. The second wife is indeed too partial to the eldest girl, but if the eldest girl is the second wife's biological daughter, then what about the third girl? Who gave birth to the third girl?

Doubts surged in the maid's heart one after another. Shen Ran wiped her tears over and over again. She curled up into a ball, feeling cold both physically and mentally, as if this could warm her up a little.

The maid wanted to feed Shen Ran the antidote, but Shen Ran refused. When the doctor came to take her pulse, Shen Ran drove the doctor away.

She just wanted to see if the Second Wife would come back if she didn't see a doctor...

The result is predictable. The second wife went back, but scolded Shen Ran severely and went to Qinglan Garden to take care of Shen Xi.

The second wife stayed at Qinglan Garden for a whole night. Shen Xi hardly slept a wink that night. Her whole body was itchy. Even though the maid cut all her nails, she could still scratch herself. There was no other way but to tie her hands and tie her to a chair.

Before Shen Tang fell asleep, Si'er reported Shen Xian's situation to Shen Tang every half hour. Shen Tang felt happy that he had vented his anger, but he was also frightened by Concubine Ye's cruelty. She gave her such a drug in order to force her to confess Xie Guimo. She would use any means to achieve her goal and would not give up until she caught the person.

In their previous life, they had treated Xie Guimo badly, and if they let the Second Prince sit in that position in this life, Xie Guimo's fate would most likely be the same as in his previous life.

I have to find a time to talk to Xie Guimo about these things.

But what Shen Tang wanted to know most urgently was whether Xiao Huan was her elder brother, and whether Xie Guimo had gone to ask Xiao Huan...

With anticipation, Shen Tang fell into a deep sleep.

A good night's sleep.

When he woke up the next day, feeling refreshed, Shen Tang sat on the bed and stretched.

As usual, Shen Tang went to Songhe Hall to say good morning after breakfast. From a distance, he saw the Third Madam and Shen Luo entering the courtyard. When Shen Tang entered the house, he heard the Third Madam say, "Did the old lady not sleep well last night?"

Older people tend to sleep less, and things keep happening in the mansion. I thought Shen Tang would be the one I was most worried about, but Shen Tang turned out to be fine.

Shen Xi was poisoned, and the Fourth Madam felt unwell as soon as she returned home. Even Shen Ran had a rash. With bad things happening one after another, it would be strange if the old lady could sleep well.

The old lady said exhaustedly, "I don't know which evil star the mansion has offended. There is no peace for a moment."

The Third Wife also felt that the Marquisate's misfortunes would never end, but since the Old Madam could only say this, she didn't dare to speak carelessly. The Third Wife said, "Don't worry, Old Madam. Our Marquisate is blessed with great fortune. Nothing will happen to us."

As she spoke, the fourth wife walked in with her daughter Shen Xi.

The fourth wife stepped forward and saluted the old lady. The old lady said, "Weren't you feeling unwell? Are you feeling better now?"

The fourth wife said, "I'm sorry to have worried the old lady, but it's just a stomach upset, it's nothing serious."

"It's okay."

The old lady felt a little relieved.

Shen Xi bowed obediently to the old lady, then ran to Shen Tang and said with a pout, "I miss my second sister so much. She went to the North Courtyard to see mother yesterday and didn't come to see me."

Shen Xicai is only eight years old and has a lively personality. The little look when he pretends to be angry is even more adorable.

Shen Tang reached out and rubbed her bangs, coaxing her softly, "Second sister is wrong. Later, second sister will buy you a kite to make amends, okay?"

Shen Xi was young and easy to coax, so she immediately became happy, "Second sister, you must keep your word."

"I'm not lying to you," Shen Tang said with a smile.

"Second sister is the best!"

Her little mouth is as sweet as honey.

Seeing that the old lady was in a bad mood, the fourth wife was afraid that Shen Xi would disturb her, so she sent Shen Xi to play in the yard, and Shen Tang went out with Shen Xi.

Chenxiang Pavilion.

Xie Guimo was reading a military book.

I am reading the book I found from the back of the bookshelf. I was in a bad mood before and couldn’t concentrate on it, but now I can.

As he was flipping through the pages, the maid knocked on the door and said, "Master, the prince of Xuanyi Marquis is here."

Almost as soon as the maid finished reporting, Chu Yi stepped into the study. Xie Guimo glanced at him and flipped the page casually, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Look at what you said. If I'm fine, can't I come to see you?"

Chu Yi came closer and asked, "Why do you have to find Xiao Huan?"

Xie Guimo asked, "Did you see him?"

Chu Yi said, "You went to Prince Ning's mansion twice to look for him, but he wasn't there. He held a banquet at Zuixianlou to apologize to you. He originally wanted to invite you personally, but halfway through, the old Prince Ning came to see him about something, so he asked me to invite you on his behalf."

Yesterday, Xie Guimo left Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and went directly to Ning Wang Mansion to find Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan was not there. He went there again after breakfast today, but Xiao Huan had left the mansion early in the morning and he was nowhere to be seen.

It was not easy for him to meet Xiao Huan. No wonder that woman took the risk and entered the palace even though she knew that Concubine Ye would target her.

It was almost time for lunch, so Xie Guimo put down the military book and left the house with Chu Yi.

When they arrived at Zuixian Tower, Xiao Huan had just arrived and they ran into each other.

Xie Guimo hadn't noticed it before, but now that he looked carefully, he found that Xiao Huan's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to those of Pingyuan Hou.

Seeing Xie Guimo looking at him, Xiao Huan thought there was something dirty on his face. He raised his hand to wipe it and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Guimo chuckled, "It's really not easy to see you."

Xiao Huan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come looking for me, otherwise I would have been waiting for you at home. But what's the important matter?"

I went to see him twice in a row, and both times in person. If it wasn't something important, it wouldn't have been like this.

Xie Guimo said truthfully, "I'm asked by someone to ask you something."

Xiao Huan, “…???”
