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

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day, the day when the old lady went to the Jokhang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The old lady is old and seldom goes out. She goes to the Jokhang Temple a few times a year at most. Now her health is poor and she goes there less often. The second wife sends someone to the Jokhang Temple three days in advance to greet her so that the Jokhang Temple can arrange someone to receive her and give lectures to the old lady.

It was a fine day with a cloudless blue sky.

In order to accompany the old lady to the Jokhang Temple, Shen Tang got up half an hour earlier than usual, had a simple breakfast, and went to Songhe Hall. After waiting for half a cup of tea, he followed the old lady out of the house.

Shen Tang hadn't seen Shen Xian these past few days, but today Shen Xian also went to the Jokhang Temple and rode in the same carriage with Shen Tang.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Tang closed his eyes to rest. The old lady traveled in a sedan chair, which could not go fast, so the carriage could only move slowly following behind.

Feeling a cold gaze falling on her face, Shen Tang opened her eyes and saw Shen Ying looking at her with a forbearing expression, "That day at the palace banquet, it was you who replaced my tea!"

Not a question, but a yes.

During the days when the rash appeared, Shen Ying kept wondering how she got infected. Concubine Ye targeted Shen Tang, but she had not offended Concubine Ye, nor had she offended anyone else in the palace. No one would want to harm her. That day, Shen Tang knocked over the dishes and was busy cleaning the table. He must have replaced their tea at that time. She was not prepared and drank the tea with added ingredients. She also deliberately bumped into the palace maid sent by Concubine Ye to deliver the antidote to her, causing her to suffer for two more days for nothing!

The tea was indeed replaced by Shen Tang, but she would not admit it. "Eldest sister, are you confused? Someone must have drugged my tea. How come I am fine after drinking it?"

Shen Xi asked, "Did you really drink tea that day? Then why did you tell Grandmother that you didn't drink a single sip of tea or eat a single snack in the palace?"

Shen Tang played with the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and said, "I only said that to reassure Grandmother. My eldest sister and I both know who poisoned the tea. Since my eldest sister has already determined that I changed the tea and caused your poisoning, why ask me again? Just tell Grandmother and Father."

He didn't dare to cause trouble for Concubine Ye, so he tried to provoke her to see if his grandmother would agree.

Shen Tang was fearless, and no matter how angry Shen Ying was, she could only swallow her anger.

The two of them had no conversation at all, and no one spoke until the carriage stopped outside the Jokhang Temple.

Privately, the two ignored each other, but in front of the old lady, they dared not show it. Shen Xian and the second wife helped the old lady up the stairs, and the abbot of the temple came out to greet her, "Amitabha, it has been a while since Old Lady Shen came to the Jokhang Temple to worship Buddha in person."

The old lady bowed and said, "At my age, even coming to the Jokhang Temple to listen to the master's lectures has become a luxury."

The abbot led the old lady into the main hall to burn incense. The old lady knelt in the front and a group of people knelt behind her. The old lady couldn't get up, so the others had to kneel down with her.

The old lady knelt for half an incense stick of time, then stood up, added some incense money, and the abbot led the old lady to the back of the hall to listen to the master chanting.

The old lady worshipped Buddha herself, but did not force the younger generation to listen to the scriptures together. She sent them out to play and warned them, "You sisters are together, don't run around and cause trouble."

Shen Tang and the others agreed obediently.

After coming out of the Main Hall, Shen Luo wanted to go to the market, so she pulled Shen Ran down the stairs. Shen Tang and Shen Xi followed two steps behind and also went to the market.

Just as we reached the market, two girls hurried over there. One of them said, "There's a fortune-telling stall over there. They tell fortunes very accurately. Let's go get one too."

Shen Luo immediately became interested and said to Shen Xian, "Big sister, let's go and take a look too."

The old lady wanted the sisters to stay together, but Shen Luo was the youngest, so it was useless for her to say anything. It would have to be Shen Xi who persuaded them to go.

Shen Xian said, "Then let's go and take a look."

Several people walked towards the direction where the two girls had gone. From a distance, they saw the two girls sitting in front of a fortune-telling stall. A Taoist priest with an immortal look was telling fortunes for them. The fortune must have been good, and the girls left with smiles on their faces.

After the two girls left, the Taoist priest took out a book and read it. The book was full of eight trigrams. Seeing Shen Xian and the others surrounding the fortune-telling stall, the Taoist priest asked, "Which girl would like a fortune-teller?"

Shen Luo and the others looked at each other, curious about fortune-telling but also afraid of getting something bad.

In a situation like this, Shen Xian directly pushed Shen Tang out, "She counts."

"One hexagram, three taels."

This divination fee is really quite a lot.

Afraid that Shen Tang would not count, Shen Xi's maid paid the divination fee.

Shen Luo pulled Shen Tang to sit down. Shen Tang wanted to see what Shen Xi was up to.

She shook the hexagram herself six times in a row. After the Taoist priest looked at her, he said, "Young lady, your wedding is coming soon. Your husband will be a rare talent. Congratulations."

Shen Tang, "..."

Is there a turning point?

Nothing she had to believe was real anymore.

Shen Tang smiled and waited for the next step. Shen Xian's maid was so eager to pay, so she knew there was definitely a trap waiting for her. But the Taoist priest looked at her and said, "Next."

Shen Tang, “…???”

The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched. Was she being overly suspicious? Then she heard Shen Ying say, "That's it?"

The Taoist said, "The divination is very good, everything will go smoothly, there is nothing to say, but the girl——"

These three taels of silver are too easy to earn. At least you should say a few more words to make them feel that the money is worth spending, right?

Shen Tang was about to stand up, but when she heard the Taoist priest's words, she asked, "What happened to my eldest sister?"

The Taoist priest didn't say anything, but looked at the hexagram sail, which had four big words on it: One hexagram, three taels.

Pay first, then tell your fortune.

Shen Xian had a bad feeling in her heart, "I don't count."

Shen Tang would not give her a chance to tell fortunes. He glanced at Ginkgo, who then placed three or two taels of money on the fortune-telling stand. Shen Tang said, "I think he's quite good at fortune-telling. Since you're here, why not tell fortunes before you leave?"

Shen Ran almost pulled Shen Xiang to sit down. It was Shen Xiang who asked Shen Tang to tell her fortune first. Now Shen Tang wanted her to do it, and it would be unreasonable for her not to do it. Second Aunt said that she had made arrangements. She didn't know what Second Aunt had done, but she was sure that Second Aunt would not harm her.

Shen Xian shook the divination sticks just like Shen Tang did just now. The Taoist priest looked at the divination sticks and frowned for a long time, which made Shen Xian's heart beat fast.

Shen Tang asked, "How?"

The Taoist priest said, "The hexagram shows that if the girl doesn't marry within a month, she will suffer a bloody disaster, and even her parents will be affected..."

What kind of omen did this arrange for her? !

Shen Xian said, "My mother passed away fifteen years ago."

The Taoist looked at Shen Xian and said, "This is not my words, but the hexagrams that reveal it. Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you, young lady."

"Next person."

Crisp and neat.

Shen Ran and Shen Luo, you look at me and I look at you.

He shook his head repeatedly.

"I still don't count it."

The two said in unison.

It would be fine if you were as good at calculation as Shen Tang, but if you were like Shen Xian, and suffered a bloody disaster, not only would you be in a bad mood today, you would also be worried for the whole month.

Shen Xian stood up angrily and glared at Shen Luo fiercely, obviously blaming Shen Luo for coming to tell fortunes, as if if she hadn't come, this bad thing would not have happened.

Shen Luo felt extremely aggrieved by the glare, and Shen Xian said, "I'm not going to go shopping anymore!"

She had to find out what her second aunt was doing, so that she wouldn't make any mistakes again. No one could plot against Shen Tang, and they were just trying to trick her.

Shen Xian stopped going to the market, and Shen Luo looked unhappy, but she didn't dare to provoke Shen Xian even if she had some courage, and she was even more afraid of being scolded by the old lady, so she had no choice but to follow her.
