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

Shen Ran and Shen Luo both followed Shen Xi back. Shen Tang had no interest in visiting the market. More importantly, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were afraid that Shen Tang would be left alone and be spotted by Concubine Ye and the people from the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. God knows if the young lady left on purpose, so they had to be on guard.

The two maids tried to persuade Shen Tang, but although Shen Tang followed them back, he did not walk fast and fell behind by dozens of steps.

It was these few dozen steps that caused Shen Tang to experience the greatest social failure in his life.

Shen Xian was anxious to find the second wife and walked very fast, while Shen Tang walked slowly. When Shen Tang went up the stairs, Shen Xian and the others were no longer there. Instead, he saw Princess Jingyang walking out of the main hall.

Just now Shen Tang felt strange. Shen Xian asked her to tell fortunes, so there must be something fishy. But in the end, nothing happened. Instead, she told herself an unlucky fortune of bloody disaster. Now seeing Princess Jingyang, Shen Tang wondered if that guy had come too.

Shen Tang looked at Princess Jingyang twice more, but did not see Xie Guimo. However, Princess Jingyang noticed the two extra glances and she looked over as well.

If he hadn't seen her, it would have been fine. But if he had, he would have definitely greeted her. Shen Tang's ears blushed slightly as he stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Princess Jingyang."

Although the Jingyang Palace and the Pingyuan Marquis's Palace broke off the engagement, it was a peaceful cancellation and did not lead to hostility. In addition, Princess Jingyang had a gentle temperament and would not bear any grudges. However, when she saw Shen Tang dancing with a sword at the Shou Palace's Spring Banquet that day, she felt a little regretful that Shen Tang did not get on the Jingyang Palace's bridal sedan.

Princess Jingyang smiled gently.

Nanny Yun, who was standing beside Princess Jingyang, had sharp eyes and caught a glimpse of the purse worn around Shen Tang's waist. She took a step forward and whispered a few words in Princess Jingyang's ear.

Princess Jingyang looked at the purse on Shen Tang's waist. Shen Tang noticed it and looked down at the purse.

Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "This purse is well-made. Did Miss Shen embroider it herself?"

Shen Tang didn't think much about it, "I embroidered it myself."

"It's rare for a lady from a noble family to have such embroidery skills," Princess Jingyang praised.

She had learned her needlework skills during the years when she was married to Xie Guimo. When she had nothing to do, she would read books and do needlework to pass the time. But why did Princess Jingyang praise her needlework? No matter how good it was, it was not as good as the embroiderers in the Jingyang Palace.

Shen Tang felt strange, but still blushed and said a few humble words. Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "Would you like to walk with me?"

Can Shen Tang refuse?

Definitely not.

Not to mention that in her previous life she married Xie Guimo, Princess Jingyang treated her very well. Even if she had nothing to do with Xie Guimo, she couldn't refuse if Princess Jingyang asked her to accompany her.

She just didn't know what Princess Jingyang wanted her to do. Based on her understanding of Princess Jingyang, she would not do such a thing casually.

Shen Tang didn't dare to speak casually. Perhaps Princess Jingyang was also looking for a topic to talk about. When she was walking down the stairs, she was a little absent-minded and accidentally twisted her ankle. Shen Tang was frightened and blurted out, "Mother, be careful!"

Shen Tang hurriedly went to support Princess Jingyang, and when he realized what he had shouted, his face was so red that blood could drip out.

Princess Jingyang also looked stunned. Nanny Yun and the maid following behind her didn't care about Princess Jingyang's sprained ankle. Their eyes were all on Shen Tang without exception.

Shen Tang wanted to crawl into the ground, his face burning with anger, and there was no way to remedy the situation. Shen Tang masturbated randomly and ran away without looking back.

The maids Ginkgo and Qiutong also blushed. Although it was not them who were called, they were master and servant, and they were embarrassed for their own girls.

Shen Tang was running with his face covered, not noticing Xie Guimo coming over and bumping into him, leaving Xie Guimo stunned. Why was he running so fast?

Before he could even reach out, Shen Tang ran away. Xie Guimo wanted to chase her, but he saw the maid supporting Princess Jingyang. Xie Guimo walked over and asked, "What happened to your mother's foot?"

Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "I accidentally twisted my ankle, it's okay."

Xie Guimo said, "How could mother be so careless? I'll have someone send you back."

Princess Jingyang asked, "Aren't you going back with mother?"

"I have something else to do..."

Princess Jingyang's eyes fell on his belt and she smiled, "Mother couldn't give you a sister, how about I find one for you?"

Xie Guimo asked curiously, "Why does mother suddenly want to adopt her as her adopted daughter?"

Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "Miss Shen called me Mother by mistake just now, and it moved Mother. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to marry you, but Mother also wants to hear her call me Mother in the future, so she can only accept her as her adopted daughter."

Xie Guimo, "..."

No wonder she ran so fast just now, it turned out that she called him mother by mistake.

Xie Guimo raised the corner of his mouth, "I don't care if my mother recognizes someone else, but she can't do it."

Princess Jingyang asked, "Why can't Second Miss Shen do this?"

"Mother, you ask even though you already know the answer," said Xie Guimo.

Princess Jingyang smiled brightly, "You've kept it a secret for sure. My ankle didn't get sprained in vain today. Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll be returning home first."

Besides, Shen Tang walked a long way in one breath. They had agreed not to go to places with few people, but now they went to where there were few people. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were chasing after her, both panting. "Girl, no one is chasing you, so don't go any further."

It's embarrassing if no one pursues you.

Calling Princess Jingyang "mother" came naturally. How did she blurt it out so easily? Where's her brain? Did she only bring her mouth and no brain with her today?!

Shen Tang's face was burning hot and the temperature didn't go down.

So many people heard it, what should I think of her?

Shen Tang even wanted to find a crooked tree to hang himself on.

Just as I was feeling frustrated, a mellow voice with a hint of laughter came over, "You calling me 'mother' has given me a problem."

Shen Tang's already hot face suddenly became even hotter. She turned around and saw Xie Guimo looking at her with a smile. Shen Tang saw his belt at a glance, which was the one she embroidered.

Shen Tang didn't realize what she hadn't realized just now, but now she still understood. She was wondering why Princess Jingyang praised her for her good needlework and even wanted to accompany her for a walk. It turned out that this bastard was actually wearing the belt she embroidered so ostentatiously!

Shen Tang said angrily, "Who told you to wear the belt?!"

Although this was not the first time, no one knew it was him on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Xie Guimo touched the belt and said, "You embroidered it for me, not for me to wear. Are you planning to worship it?"

Shen Tang, “……!!!”

Although it's not something that needs to be worshipped, it's not something that can be flaunted like that. This bastard must have done it on purpose.

Shen Tang asked, "I accidentally called out the wrong name, how could I give you a hard time?"

Xie Guimo's eyes fell on Shen Tang's face, whose porcelain-white skin was even more beautiful than a peony. "Mother wants you to call her that often in the future, and wants me to come and propose marriage as soon as possible."

Shen Tang said, "Why don't you just pretend you didn't hear it?"

"How can this be? I am a filial son."

Shen Tang, "..."

This guy is so shameless.

He had the guts to say this in front of Prince Jingyang and Princess Jingyang to see if they would agree.

This topic could no longer be discussed, so Shen Tang decisively changed the subject, "Was that fortune-teller today your doing?"
