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

In the evening, the sunset paints the sky in full swing.

Shen Tang was feeding koi on the bridge. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her, creating a halo of light.

The bait was thrown out, attracting several koi to fight for it.

Shen Tang was watching with great interest. Si'er came over and said, "Miss, Concubine Ye sent someone to tell the Second Madam to come to the palace tomorrow..."

The smile on Shen Tang's face disappeared without a trace after hearing this.

Today, the Second Madam had failed to help Concubine Ye plot against her at the Jokhang Temple. Was Concubine Ye going to ask the Second Madam to come to the palace to discuss other options? Being targeted by someone like this was truly unlucky for her.

Ginkgo couldn't help but ask, "How about giving the Second Wife some laxatives so she can't enter the palace?"

Shen Tang said, "It's useless."

The laxative trick has been used too many times, and she was not exposed by taking the laxative. Fortunately, the old lady knew that Concubine Ye and the Marquis of Changping's Mansion were targeting her. If the second wife dared to help Concubine Ye to plot against her, she would definitely think twice.

Songhe Hall.

The old lady went to the Jokhang Temple to worship Buddha today and was exhausted. She slept until dusk. When she woke up and knew the time, she said, "Why didn't you wake me up? I slept for so long, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep tonight."

Mother Wang said, "You were sleeping so soundly, I really didn't have the heart to wake you up. Actually, you didn't sleep very long."

Mother Wang helped the old lady out of bed. Hongxiu stepped forward to help her change her clothes. Mother Wang said, "Noble Concubine Ye asked the second wife to enter the palace tomorrow..."

With just one sentence, the old lady's face turned cold.

Concubine Ye has repeatedly plotted against Shen Tang and even brought disaster to Shen Xian. Now she wants to summon the Second Wife to the palace. Is she trying to cause unrest in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion?!

"Let the Second Wife come to see me!"

The maid hurried to the South Courtyard to pass on the message.

The second wife came very quickly. When she entered the room, she saw the old lady's face was cold and gloomy. The second wife knew that it was no good to come to her.

The old lady asked, "Why did Concubine Ye ask you to come to the palace again?"

The Second Wife knew it in her heart, but she certainly couldn't say it, "I don't know either..."

The old lady glanced at the second wife, and her sharp eyes made the second wife feel guilty. "I really don't know."

The old lady said, "I have indulged you so much in the past, but if you dare to betray me and help Concubine Ye plot against Tang'er, I will never forgive you!"

The old lady's voice became more and more serious. The second wife knew that the old lady was not trying to scare her, so she hurriedly said, "Even if I had a few more courage, I would not dare to help Concubine Ye do such a thing. Besides, Concubine Ye herself can't plot against Tang'er in the palace, let alone me."

"If you're worried, I'll pretend to be sick tomorrow..."

Anyway, she had told Concubine Ye everything she knew, and going to the palace would only be a repetition. There was no need to go to the palace. It was not worth it to anger the old lady just for a trip to the palace.

The second wife had a good attitude, and the old lady said, "Then pretend to be sick."

The Second Wife remained silent. The Old Lady said, "Hsiao-er's divination makes me feel uneasy. The Marquis is busy with military affairs, so let's not worry him about such a small matter. Let the Second Son ask the Imperial Observatory for a thorough calculation."

The Second Wife nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking. The Imperial Observatory is definitely not comparable to those quacks. Let me do some calculations to put my mind at ease."

……

The next day, the weather was fine and the sky was cloudless.

After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall to pay his respects.

From a distance, he saw the Second Wife entering the courtyard. When Shen Tang reached the screen, he heard the Second Wife say, "Master thinks it's better for me to go to the palace to see Concubine Ye. Although I didn't get the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue last time, the Second Prince and the Marquis of Changping did their best..."

Thinking that the Second Master missed out on that position because of Prince Jingyang, the Second Wife almost bit her teeth to pieces.

You ruined the Pingyuan Marquisate's good fortune, and yet you still dream of a marriage between the two families?!

Prince Jingyang probably knew that the Crown Prince intended to marry Shen Tang, and was trying to obstruct him in a roundabout way.

Before the Second Madam could finish her words, she was interrupted by the sound of the Old Madam slamming the teacup against the small table. The Old Madam said nothing, but just raised her hand, and Mother Wang helped her into the inner room.

Shen Tang stood behind the screen with a sarcastic smile on his face.

The second wife usually coaxes and flatters the old lady, making the old lady feel that her words are effective. Facts have proved that neither the second master nor the second wife takes her words seriously. The second wife seems to be discussing with the old lady. She did not pretend to be sick and appeared directly in Songhe Hall. She had no reason not to go to the palace to see Concubine Ye. The old lady knew that she could not stop her and would not stop her anymore.

You are pretending to be filial and attaching so much importance to your future. How can the old lady not be disappointed?

The Second Wife had disappointed the Old Madam so many times, but none of them was as bad as the Second Master's this time.

The old lady went into the inner room and everyone else was about to leave, so Shen Tang didn't go in and turned back to Qingyi Garden.

The second wife finally entered the palace. As for what Concubine Ye wanted to do with the second wife, Shen Tang had no way of knowing. She asked Chen Shan to help her listen, but he didn't hear any useful information.

After lunch, news arrived from Qinglan Garden. Shen Tang was painting when Si'er came in and reported, "I don't know who pissed off the young lady. She's so angry she smashed the whole house..."

Shen Tang felt strange, so Yin Xing asked, "Who in the mansion dares to anger the eldest lady?"

The girl is brave enough, but she hasn't met the older girl today. She won't wait until today to vent her anger.

Si Er shook his head, "I don't know. The eldest girl had lunch with the old lady. When she came back from Songhe Hall, she started smashing things."

That matter may be related to Songhetang.

Shen Tang looked at Qiu Tong and said, "Go to Songhe Hall and ask around."

Qiutong came from Songhetang, so it was much easier for her to find out things. Shen Tang asked Yinxing to give some silver beads to Qiutong to make it easier for her to do things.

Qiu Tong took the purse and went to Songhe Hall.

Shen Tang had barely finished a painting when Qiu Tong returned. Ginkgo couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find out?"

Qiu Tong nodded. "The eldest lady is angry, and it's probably related to the divination she asked at the Jokhang Temple yesterday. The old lady is worried, so she asked the second master to ask the Imperial Observatory to recalculate. The Imperial Observatory said the same thing as the Taoist priest: if the eldest lady doesn't get married within a month, there will be a bloody disaster, and it will also bring disaster to the Marquis..."

Shen Tang, "..."

No wonder Shen Xian was so angry. With the reputation of being a husband-killer, not even one person came to propose marriage to her. She was going to get married within a month. How could she choose a suitable husband in such a short time?

Given Shen Xian's personality, she was only willing to marry someone whose status was not lower than that of the Prince of Jingyang. However, those with noble status would most likely look down on Shen Xian and would not rush into a marriage.

However, the Taoist priest in the Jokhang Temple said that because he was forced by Xie Guimo's people. Why did the Imperial Observatory also say that?

Could it be Xie Guimo's work?

Chenxiang Pavilion.

Xie Guimo is reading a book.

Chen Qi went in and said, "Sir, Lord Liu from the Imperial Observatory has already done everything as you instructed."

Xie Guimo asked, "Did the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion believe it?"

Chen Qi said, "Second Master Shen believed it."

The second master didn't want to believe it either, but he first took out Shen Tang's birth date and time, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory praised it, saying it was a good birth date and time. The second master then took out his daughter's birth date and time and asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate it. The result calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was almost the same as what the Taoist said.

How could the Second Master dare not believe it?
