Shen Xian has always disliked the vegetarian food in the Jokhang Temple, and she was in a very bad mood today, so she didn't want to eat it even more. But normally when she went out with Shen Tang and the others, she could choose not to eat, and Shen Ran and the others had to obey her. Whenever the old lady came to the Jokhang Temple, she had to have some vegetarian food before going home.

Not daring to ask the old lady to wait for them, Shen Tang and the others walked towards the dining hall.

In the Zen room, the second wife helped the old lady out and walked into the dining hall. The maid came over quickly and whispered to the second wife, "Madam, I have something to report..."

The voices were filled with urgency.

This maid was the one who had messed things up before. The Second Madam didn't know what urgent matter she wanted to report. She looked at Hongxiu, and Hongxiu took over and helped the old lady into the private room for vegetarian meals.

The Second Wife walked to a nearby tree and asked unexpectedly, "What's the urgent matter you need to report to me?"

The maidservant hurriedly said, "I wanted to find out why the Taoist priest took the money but didn't do anything, so I went to question him. He returned the money to me and said that as long as it didn't endanger my life, he would help. But since this could result in someone's death, he didn't dare to go against his conscience for fear of divine punishment..."

The second wife didn't quite understand. "What does this mean?"

The maidservant said, "I asked, and the Taoist priest said that Madam, you'd better believe the fortune he told the eldest girl. He also said that harming others will eventually harm yourself..."

The Taoist priest said a lot of mysterious things, and the maid couldn't remember everything, but she still remembered the two most important sentences.

Originally, the Second Wife did not take the Taoist priest's divination for Shen Xi seriously, but the maid was nosy and went to ask the Taoist priest again. Now, the Taoist priest's words were like a thorn stuck in the Second Wife's throat, which she could neither swallow nor spit out.

The Second Wife said, "Please invite the Taoist priest into the house. I want to ask him in person."

The maid went to do it.

The second wife entered the dining hall and saw the old lady comforting Shen Xi, saying, "Don't take the words of the quacks seriously."

The Second Wife said, "That's how I comforted Xian'er, but since this concerns the Marquis, it's better to be cautious. I've already asked someone to invite a Taoist priest to the Marquis's mansion, and then we'll ask him carefully to see if there's any way to resolve the situation."

He actually invited a Taoist priest into his house. It seemed that he believed it to some extent. He even bribed the Taoist priest, but he still believed the words of the Taoist priest he bribed. Shen Tang was speechless.

Thinking that the Taoist priest had already read Shen Xiang's fortune, even if he was invited into the house, he would only say what the fortune said and would not change his words, especially since he had been threatened by Xie Guimo's people, Shen Tang felt relieved.

The Second Wife made all the necessary arrangements, and the Old Lady said, "That's fine."

The vegetarian dishes have been served. There are eighteen dishes with different varieties, filling up two combined eight-immortal tables. Although they are all vegetarian, the presentation is exquisite and looks very good.

Shen Tang really liked the vegetarian food at the Jokhang Temple and enjoyed it very much. The others were also fine with it, except Shen Xian, who really didn't like it and thought it tasted like chewing wax.

While they were eating, a maid came in and reported to the Second Mistress, "Madam, the Taoist priest has disappeared. I sent people to search the entire Jokhang Temple, but they couldn't find him..."

How come he disappeared? The second wife looked at the old lady, and the old lady said, "Forget it if he doesn't see it."

It's just that my mood was shrouded in a haze. After all, bloody disaster is not a good word, and it also involves my parents...

Jiang died of illness fifteen years ago. The old lady could not imagine that anything could involve Jiang in her grave. Instead, the second wife's special concern for Shen Xi made the old lady feel uneasy.

It took them half an hour to finish a vegetarian meal. The old lady was old and it was inconvenient for her to sit in a bumpy sedan chair after a full meal. She hadn't been to the Jokhang Temple for a long time, so she simply took a walk around before returning home.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, they first sent the old lady back to Songhe Hall. The old lady was tired, so she went back to rest, and the others left.

Shen Tang brought the maid back to Qingyi Garden. Shen Xian and the Second Madam came out of Songhe Hall. A maid came running over and breathlessly reported to Shen Xian, "I have found out what the young lady asked me to investigate..."

Shen Xi asked anxiously, "How?"

The maidservant said, "At the Lantern Festival half a year ago, the glass lantern that the second young lady won was indeed snatched away by a masked man..."

Shen Xi's face turned pale, and she didn't feel any pain even when her neatly trimmed nails dug into her flesh.

The second wife knew about the glass lamp. Shen Xian wanted it, but Shen Tang was reluctant to give it to her. Shen Xian "accidentally" broke the glass lamp, but the second wife was reluctant to throw it away and spent a lot of money to repair it. Unexpectedly, the glass lamp was given by the masked man. In other words, more than half a year ago, the man who beat the son of Changping Hou had been in contact with the second wife, and they even promised to spend their lives together.

Shen Xian looked at the Second Wife and said, "No need to check, the masked man is the Prince of Jingyang!"

The second wife asked, "Are you sure?"

Shen Xian didn't want to admit it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Second Auntie guessed right. The person Prince Jingyang wanted to marry from the beginning was Second Sister, not me."

After the Lantern Festival, Prince Xie came to propose marriage. Shen Tang was surprised and shy. She thought that Prince Xie was asking for Shen Tang’s hand in marriage on behalf of the prince, but unexpectedly, it was her that Prince Xie fell in love with. She still remembered Shen Tang’s surprise and shame at that time. Shen Tang was sincerely happy that he had arranged such a good marriage for her. At that time, Shen Tang probably didn’t know that the masked man was the prince of Jingyang.

It is very likely that Old Prince Xie proposed to the wrong person. It is not easy for Prince Jingyang to come and cancel the engagement, because it is impossible for the Marquis' Mansion to promise Shen Tang to him after he canceled her engagement. Prince Jingyang had to use the excuse that the Second Prince was injured and poisoned to set up a plan to get married, and also took advantage of the bad fortune in the Jokhang Temple to make her afraid of being a widow, so she let Shen Tang marry in her place!

No wonder Shen Tang woke up even though he knew that Prince Jingyang didn’t need a wedding to bring good luck!

Because this is exactly what they planned!

They teamed up to play with her in the palm of their hands!

The hatred in Shen Xi's eyes was so intense that it almost swept over everything.

She won't let them be together!

no way!

Shen Xi had been so consumed by jealousy that she had lost all her rationality. She didn't even think about the fact that if Shen Tang really knew about it and had really joined forces with Prince Jingyang, there would be no such thing as refusing to marry in front of the bridal sedan. They would have already been living together.

Changchun Palace.

Concubine Ye had nothing to do, so she put flowers in the vase.

She used scissors to cut off the extra branches and put them into the red jade vase. A palace maid in a light green dress came in through the bead curtain, walked quickly to Concubine Ye's ear, and whispered a few words.

Click.

A budding flower fell onto the small table.

Concubine Ye slammed the scissors in her hand, her eyes as cold as ice.

She never dreamed that the person who repeatedly beat up the Prince of Changping and brought shame to the Changping Marquis's Mansion and her was actually the Prince of Jingyang!

No wonder he had the guts to beat up the Prince of Changping Marquis. No wonder the Changping Marquis’s Mansion turned the entire capital upside down but still couldn’t catch him!

Concubine Ye was so angry that she breathed in more than she breathed out.

"Tell this palace to have Madam Shen come into the palace tomorrow!"
