Shen Xian also knew that Concubine Ye would not let Shen Tang off easily, but she was poisoned and suffered two days of torture that was worse than death. Concubine Ye compensated her with an oriental pearl, but it was snatched away by Shen Tang. How could she be willing to accept this?

Shen Xian suppressed her anger and asked, "Why did Second Aunt take so long to go to the Wang family? Did something happen at the Wang family?"

The second wife gets a headache when she mentions the Wang family.

Shen Tang brought two Dongzhu back to Qingyi Garden. Ginkgo knew where the Dongzhu came from and grinned. The girl had said before that she would never let the eldest girl take advantage of her again, but she didn't believe it. Later, she really didn't let the eldest girl take advantage of her. Now she can even take back the eldest girl's things. Ginkgo looked proud of her girl's success.

Shen Tang couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Si'er came in and said, "Miss, the Marquis of Changping's mansion caught the masked man who beat up the Marquis of Changping's son. They hung him on the city gate and said he would be exposed to the sun for three days and three nights."

Si'er didn't know that Shen Tang already knew about this.

Shen Tang asked, "Do you know who the person wearing the mask is?"

Si'er shook his head, "I don't know. They're all wearing masks hanging on the city gates."

Shen Tang really couldn't figure out the purpose of the Changping Marquis' Mansion doing this. Was it because they couldn't catch the person and lost face, so they pretended to catch the person for the sake of face, or was it to paralyze them?

Shen Tang felt that the former possibility was more likely, but it was not a bad thing for Xie Guimo. Even if the Changping Marquis' Mansion found out and openly hung someone on the city gate to vent their anger, it would be difficult to question Xie Guimo. Besides, no one in the Changping Marquis' Mansion dared to do such a thing.

Shen Tang didn't take this matter to heart, or rather, she didn't take it too seriously from beginning to end. It wasn't the first day she knew that Xie Guimo was investigating the Changping Marquis Mansion.

She actually hoped that Xie Guimo could find solid evidence to bring down the Marquis of Changping and Concubine Ye.

Shen Tang poured himself some tea. Si'er glanced outside the beaded curtain and whispered, "Miss, do you know why the Wang family is looking for the second wife today?"

Shen Tang raised his eyebrows, "Something happened to the Wang family?"

Si'er didn't know if something had happened to the Wang family. "The eldest young lady of the Wang family is pregnant. It's a great surprise to be born..."

Getting married is a great joyous occasion, but the wedding night of Young Master Wang and the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion was a scene of great chaos. It is not certain whether this is a joyous occasion of getting married or a joy of becoming a father.

No wonder the Wang family didn’t go directly to the second wife to announce the good news, but instead went back to find the second wife.

The Wang family probably didn't plan to keep the child.

The eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's mansion and the eldest son of the Changping Marquis got pregnant just a few days before their wedding. No matter how skilled the doctor is, he cannot determine the exact date of conception. However, if the Yongning Marquis's mansion had the ability to make Young Master Wang endure the green hat on that day, they should also have the ability to make Young Master Wang wear the green hat tightly.

The Second Wife and the Wang family plotted against her, and in the end they got such a young mistress. This was definitely retribution for the Wang family.

Si'er's ability to gather information was even better than Shen Tang had expected. Shen Tang instructed Yin Xing, "Give Si'er the pair of silver bracelets from the dresser."

Si'er didn't expect Shen Tang to reward her with such a heavy and exquisite silver bracelet. She was so happy that her eyebrows danced with joy, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."

Ginkgo smiled and said, "You have done your job diligently, and you will definitely receive a reward from the young lady in the future."

Si'er nodded repeatedly.

……

On this day, the sky was clear in the morning, but it was covered with dark clouds in the afternoon, and heavy rain washed the ground in the evening.

The wind was blowing so hard that the windows were rattling.

The rain lasted on and off for three days.

It didn't clear up until the fourth day.

Shen Tang had been locked in the room for three days without going out, and he was almost suffocating. As soon as the sky cleared up, he took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall to pay his respects to the old lady.

Shen Tang was quite late. When she arrived, Shen Xian, Shen Ran and the others had already arrived. When Shen Tang entered, she just heard Shen Ran say, "Grandma is the best."

The old lady laughed and said, "They are all people who can't stay in the mansion. After only a few days of rain, they can't wait to fly away."

Seeing Shen Tang enter, Shen Luo said, "Second sister, Rouge Pavilion has released a lot of new rouge. I heard that the smells and colors are very good. Let's go and pick out some and see if there's anything suitable. Then we can browse for a while. Do you want to come with us?"

The happiest time for Shen Luo in the past two months when she went shopping was when she was with Shen Tang, so she hoped that Shen Tang would go with her.

Shen Tang also wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't know whether the old lady would agree. Shen Tang looked at the old lady, and the old lady said, "If you want to go, then let's go together."

The masked man who offended the son of the Marquis of Changping was hanged on the city wall yesterday. Concubine Ye also compensated Shen Tang for the wrong accusation. Concubine Ye and the Marquis of Changping's Mansion no longer targeted Shen Tang. There would be no danger for her to leave the mansion, so the old lady no longer restrained Shen Tang and prevented her from going out.

Shen Luo couldn't wait to have someone prepare the carriage. When the maid came in to report that the carriage was ready, Shen Tang and the others got up and took their leave.

When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the carriage was already parked there. Shen Tang still chose to ride in the same carriage with Shen Ying. Although he was reluctant, one good thing about riding in the same carriage with Shen Ying was that he didn't have to worry about the Second Wife tampering with the carriage.

Shen Xian was also unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Shen Tang. If possible, she would rather ride with Shen Ran. She was afraid of being scolded by the old lady and was unwilling to give the carriage to Shen Tang and Shen Luo, so she could only endure it.

The carriage traveled smoothly all the way until it stopped in front of Yanzhi Pavilion.

Rouge is the largest rouge and powder shop in Kyoto. Any new rouge it launches will surely attract the attention of the ladies from prominent families in Kyoto. In addition, it has rained for three consecutive days and they have been bored indoors. Now that the weather has cleared up, they all go out.

The rouge shop was so busy that it looked like a newly opened business, and the shop assistants were overwhelmed with people.

In fact, Shen Tang knew exactly what kind of rouge the rouge shop would produce in the next four years, but as a girl, she naturally liked these things and couldn't resist.

She likes rouge so much that even though she only has one face, she doesn't need so much rouge. In fact, Shen Tang has never used up a box of rouge properly. But even if she doesn't need it, she still has to have it, even in all colors and flavors.

Shen Xian and the others chose carefully, trying them on the back of their hands again and again, but Shen Tang didn't try anything. He picked out three boxes of rouge and asked the boy to pack them up.

Shen Tang didn't have anything else to buy, and didn't know when Shen Xi and the others would finish their shopping, so he went to sit over there, drink tea and wait for Shen Ran and the others. Only after they had made their choices did they leave Yanzhi Pavilion together.

Just as I left Rouge Pavilion, I hadn't taken a few steps when the bustling streets suddenly became chaotic. Someone shouted hurriedly, "Make way! Make way! I can't hold the carriage anymore!"

I saw a luxurious carriage rushing towards me. The servant pulled the reins tightly, but it was no use. He was shaken to and fro by the carriage and almost fell off.

Shen Tang looked at the carriage that was speeding past her and felt that it looked familiar. For a moment, she couldn't remember who it belonged to. Yin Xing said, "Miss, it seems to be the carriage of Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion..."
