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

The maid reported in a very low voice, but Shen Ying was too close to hear clearly, but she still heard the words "Prince Jingyang".

Shen Xian asked, "What happened to Prince Jingyang?"

The maid hesitated and dared not speak.

Shen Xi said anxiously, "Speak!"

The maid glanced at the Second Madam. The Second Madam did not stop her, so the maid said, "I just heard the two young ladies talking. They said they were in the alley over there and saw the Second Young Madam and the Prince of Jingyang talking over there. They were acting very affectionate and close..."

Shen Xi's face turned green. She couldn't believe such a thing could happen. "They must have seen it wrong!"

The maid said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the girl said she saw it clearly..."

Shen Xian didn't believe that Prince Jingyang would be so close to Shen Tang and behave intimately with her, but she also didn't forget that when Shen Tang frightened a horse on the street, it was Prince Jingyang who saved Shen Tang. He even helped Shen Tang reconnect his dislocated arm in public. Even on the birthday of Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion, when Shen Tang fell into the water, Prince Jingyang jumped in without hesitation. Although he didn't save her in the end, it was because Shen Tang could swim and didn't need anyone to save her.

That person who hasn't come to propose marriage yet, but is of noble status and can persuade the emperor to help pass on the message, could he be the Prince of Jingyang?!

Once this thought comes together, I can no longer suppress it.

Not only Shen Xi had such suspicion, the second wife also had this guess.

Shen Xian resisted inwardly, trying to convince herself to dispel this speculation. "The Marquis of Changping's Mansion is Concubine Ye's family home. How could the Prince of Jingyang beat up the Prince of Changping for Shen Tang? No way, definitely not..."

This matter was indeed strange, but the Second Wife did not believe that anyone would dare to spread rumors about the Prince of Jingyang, especially putting him together with a girl who did not want to marry him. The Prince of Jingyang was not a good-tempered person.

The Second Wife has always wanted to find out why Prince Xie took a fancy to Shen Ying and came to propose marriage. She has always hoped that Prince Xie would return to Beijing to find out the reasons behind it. Perhaps there is still room for this marriage to be turned around.

Now that she knew that Prince Jingyang and Shen Tang had a secret relationship, the Second Wife recalled that when Prince Jingyang was poisoned and unconscious, Shen Xian went to the Jokhang Temple to pray for him. The lot she drew by accident said that she would get married within three days and would be a widow.

On the day Shen Xi got the lot, the Jingyang Prince's family came to the palace to offer a wedding to the Crown Prince, so they planned to let Shen Tang marry in her place...

Shen Tang refused to get on the bridal sedan and was certain that Prince Jingyang would be fine and did not need any wedding to bring good luck. As Shen Tang said, Prince Jingyang woke up that day and broke off the engagement.

The Second Wife's face was icy, "I'm afraid the Prince of Jingyang wanted to marry the Second Miss from the beginning."

Shen Xian stood up angrily, "Second Aunt, what are you talking about? Am I not as good as Second Sister?!"

In the Second Wife's heart, Shen Xian is of course the best of all, and Shen Tang is not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

However, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. Shen Tang and the Prince of Jingyang had already had an affair, and they were in love with each other. The bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion had arrived at the door that day, and Shen Tang was wearing her wedding dress. There was no reason for her not to get in the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion.

It can be said that Shen Tang was doing this out of sisterly affection, but ever since Shen Ying plotted to have Shen Tang marry in her place, Shen Tang has been against Shen Ying in every way, and the sisterly affection has long since disappeared.

Thinking about so many things at once, the second wife felt like her head was about to explode.

Shen Xian's eyes were red with anger. "If the Prince of Jingyang were to ask for Shen Tang's hand in marriage, I would be laughed at to death!"

"Second Aunt won't let this happen."

The Second Wife coaxed, "Prince Jingyang rescued the Second Miss in public and even healed her dislocated arm. Prince Jingyang never even mentioned marrying the Second Miss. The relationship between Prince Jingyang and the Second Miss might not be what we think. Don't let your imagination run wild and cause yourself trouble."

"But what if it is?"

Shen Xian was still worried.

The Second Wife said, "I will report this to Concubine Ye, and she will find out whether the person who beat up the Prince of Changping is the Prince of Jingyang."

Concubine Ye's father died to save Princess Jingyang's father. The Prince of Jingyang beat the Prince of Changping, bringing shame to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion and Concubine Ye. She didn't believe that Concubine Ye would let the second girl be with the Prince of Jingyang.

They couldn't stop Prince Jingyang from doing what he wanted to do, but Concubine Ye could.

Shen Xian may not marry the Prince of Jingyang, but the Prince of Jingyang can never marry Shen Tang!

The Second Wife's eyes were as cold as if they were filled with poison. After coaxing Shen Xi, the Second Wife went to accompany the old lady.

Shen Xian sat in the Zen room next door for a long time, going over in her mind the events of the past six months regarding her proposal to the Prince of Jingyang. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she ordered her maid, "Go and help me investigate something."

Shen Xi whispered a few instructions and the maid went out.

Shen Xi calmed down her anger, put on some rouge, and then went out.

Shen Ran and Shen Luo were waiting for her in the pavilion over there, both of them looked quite impatient. Shen Ran could still tolerate it before, but that rash made Shen Ran's heart chilled. The Second Wife and Shen Xi were talking in the Zen room, but she didn't even let them in. Is this the treatment a biological daughter should have?

Shen Ran's eyes turned red again and again. Shen Luo saw it and asked, "What's wrong with Third Sister?"

Shen Ran shook his head and wiped his eyes with an embroidered handkerchief. "The wind was strong, so I squinted."

Was there wind just now?

What evil wind only blows the third sister and not her?

Even if Shen Ran didn't say it, Shen Luo could guess a thing or two. Second Aunt was so good to the eldest sister that Shen Ran, her own daughter, had to stand aside. That day, she heard her parents talking about this. Her mother suspected that the eldest sister was the second wife's daughter, and was severely scolded by her father. The second and eldest wives were brothers, and their third wife was born out of wedlock. It was not enough to be cautious. If this was heard by others, there would definitely be a storm.

Just now, Shen Ran stared at the Zen room for a long time, and Shen Luo felt a little sorry for Shen Ran.

Shen Xian came out of the meditation room. Although she had put on powder, Shen Ran and Shen Luo could tell at a glance that she had been crying. They thought she was scared because of the Taoist fortune-telling and didn't think much about it.

Shen Xian asked, "Second sister hasn't come back yet?"

Shen Xian was asking about Shen Ran, but Shen Ran didn't respond. Shen Luo said, "Second sister hasn't come yet. She might still be at the market."

If she had known that her second sister was at the market, she would have gone with her.

Shen Xian said, "Go find her."

Shen Luo thought Shen Xian was going to the market to find Shen Tang, but Shen Xian walked towards the path the maid said, and saw Shen Tang coming from a distance. Shen Tang's face was a little red, and his lips were tender and tempting. The bastard took the opportunity to test her and got a rash, saying that he wanted to kiss her a few more times to make sure there was no problem. Shen Tang felt like he was digging a hole to bury himself.

Just as she was greeting a certain gentleman, she saw Shen Xian, Shen Ran and others walking towards her.

Shen Xi's eyes were filled with suppressed anger. As soon as she stepped forward, she shouted, "Grandma told us to be together, why are you running around?!"

Shen Tang now has no patience for Shen Xi and feels disgusted whenever he hears her speak.

Shen Tang said, "Grandma let me be together, but she didn't let us all revolve around you, the eldest sister."

Shen Xianyun clenched her fists under her sleeves. "What do you mean by circling around me? Shouldn't I have reported the fortune I read to Grandmother in a timely manner?!"

Shen Tang laughed. "They say every failure makes you wiser. My eldest sister has suffered a loss at the Jokhang Temple, yet she still believes in fortune-telling. Does she really believe that if she doesn't marry within a month, she will suffer a bloody disaster and bring disaster to her parents?"

This question was so clever that Shen Xian couldn't respond.

If you believe it, then she suffered before and didn't marry the Prince of Jingyang to bring good luck, and she deserved to be broken off in the end.

You say you don't believe it. If you don't believe it, then why are you in such a hurry to report to the old lady?

Shen Xian said, "I'm worried about you! Don't forget, you're being watched."

He really cares about her. Shen Tang laughed sarcastically, "As long as no one in the Marquis' Mansion betrays me and reveals my whereabouts, I'm safe."

Shen Xian wanted to tear Shen Tang's face off, and she felt as if her internal organs were burning with anger.

Neither of them spoke again. Shen Luo took Shen Tang to the market. All four of them went, but they had not been in the market for long when the maid came over to invite them to have a vegetarian meal.
