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

The two maids were so happy when they got the gold bracelets that they couldn't stop smiling.

Although Qiu Tong came back with Shen Tang, her things were still in Songhe Hall. Shen Tang asked her to bring two maids back to help her pack.

After Qiu Tong left, Shen Tang instructed Yin Xing, "Have someone keep an eye on the maids in the courtyard and see which of them like to go to Qinglan Garden and South Courtyard for no reason."

If she wants to protect her father and her loved ones, she must first protect herself.

She had long experienced the ruthlessness of the Second Wife. She just didn't follow the Second Wife and Shen Xi, but the Second Wife looked at her with a cold look. She might use these spies to attack her one day. She had to break the Second Wife's control over her first and not do everything under her nose.

After getting rid of Doukou and Mother Jiang, it would be easy to deal with the little maids in the yard.

She rewarded Qiu Tong with a gold bracelet right away because she was afraid that the second wife would win over Qiu Tong and put pressure on her. However, she believed in Qiu Tong's character. After her grandmother passed away in her previous life, Qiu Tong was one of the few maids who remained in Songhe Hall. The other maids all had good places to go.

Qiu Tong is loyal to the old lady, so Shen Tang is not worried. Although the old lady loves Shen Xi, she will not do anything to let Qiu Tong harm her. This is why Shen Tang feels at ease to ask the old lady for help.

Shen Tang drank tea and ate snacks while pondering what to do next. Just as he was lost in thought, Ginkgo's voice came, "Miss, the gold hairpin that was secretly sold by Mother Jiang has been redeemed."

Shen Tang looked up and saw a little maid walking in from outside the bead curtain, holding a brocade box and carrying a bundle in her hands.

Ginkgo took the brocade box and presented it to Shen Tang for review.

The brocade box contained the golden hairpin that she had used to plot against Mother Jiang.

The golden hairpins originally came in pairs, and she threw the other one on the ground when she refused the marriage proposal.

Shen Tang thought of the golden hairpin, and Yin Xing had already asked, "The girl hurt herself with the golden hairpin, and she didn't even return it..."

The maid who came to deliver the gift said, "The guards of Prince Jingyang's Palace picked up the golden hairpin and took it away."

Shen Tang, "..."

She threw the gold hairpin on the ground with the intention of asking them to take it back and report to Prince Jingyang, but she stabbed herself in public. With so many eyes watching, was it not enough? Was she really going to take back a bloody gold hairpin?

Shen Tang had nothing to say.

The little maid picked up the bundle she was carrying and said, "And this bundle, too. It was just sent over by someone from the jade shop on the street. They said they accidentally threw away the girl's glass lamp, and the shop spent a day and a night trying to find it bit by bit. Several skilled craftsmen spent another two days working tirelessly to repair it. They said it's fixed now, and it won't break again."

The girl finally put down the broken and tattered glass lamp. How come the jade shop threw it away and then found it again?

The little maid handed the bundle over and Ginkgo had no choice but to take it.

When the little maid brought something, Shen Tang rewarded her with five cents of silver, which made the little maid very happy.

After the little maid left, Shen Tang looked at the bundle with a strange look.

In the previous life, the glass lamp was also accidentally thrown away by the clerk in the jade shop, but it was not found back. How could it be wrong in this life?

Shen Tang didn't know that when Si'er went to get the glass lamp and was told that it had been thrown away, she was very angry and said that this was the thing her daughter valued the most, so she sent it to the jade shop to be repaired. However, the jade shop had such a mistake, so she asked if the jade shop wanted to close down.

The jade shop was in the wrong first, and Shen Tang was a stubborn person. She was so stubborn that she stabbed herself in order to avoid getting on the sedan chair at Prince Jingyang's Mansion. The jade shop didn't dare to provoke such a stubborn Miss Shen. As soon as Si'er left, the jade shop collected the fragments of the glass lamp bit by bit from a pile of broken jade and rocks, and then repaired it.

Ginkgo opened the bundle, and Shen Tang saw the repaired glass lamp, which was even more broken but also more beautiful.

Ginkgo said, "The jade shop used gold and silver thread to repair it this time, so it will definitely not break."

"Take it and throw it away."

ginkgo,"……"

Before, the girl said that it was okay if it was lost, and she thought she was trying to comfort herself. Now that it has been repaired and returned to her, she still wants to throw it away...

Ginkgo couldn't believe it, "Are you really going to throw it away, girl?"

Shen Tang said, "It's so broken, if you take it out, people will just laugh at you."

As for the rest, Shen Tang had already forgotten it.

The person who gave her this glass lamp had only been seen three times in her previous life, and she had never seen him again after she married Xie Guimo.

She and the person who delivered the lantern met because of an account book and a key. The person was investigating a case in which Concubine Ye's family, the Marquis of Changping, embezzled disaster relief funds. When she died, the Marquis of Changping not only did not fall, but also rose rapidly to the top and was conferred the title of Duke. That person... should have died long ago.

The chance encounter and the excitement half a year ago had completely wiped out the four years she spent married to Xie Guimo in her previous life. How could it be stirred up again because of a glass lamp?

Seeing that Shen Tang really wanted to throw away the glass lamp, Ginkgo was really curious about why her girl suddenly came to her senses. She was clearly a very persistent person.

Ginkgo took the glass lamp out and prepared to ask Si'er to throw it away, but after thinking it over, she didn't dare to.

If you throw it away, you can't find it back. What if the girl was just impulsive? A lamp doesn't take up much space, so you'd better keep it for now, just in case. As long as you hide it and don't let the girl see it, it's no different from throwing it away.

Shen Tang was distracted for a while, and was reading a book to kill time. He had only read half of the book when Si'er appeared outside the bead curtain and said happily, "Miss, Mother Zhou has brought you back."

Shen Tang looked towards the screen and saw Mother Zhou coming in with red eyes. When Mother Zhou was sent away, Shen Tang was only five years old. Now, ten years have passed, and Shen Tang no longer has any memory of Mother Zhou, only a feeling of intimacy.

Mother Zhou walked forward and fell to her knees. Shen Tang quickly put down the book in his hand and helped Mother Zhou up. "Mother Zhou, get up quickly."

Mother Zhou refused to let him help her. She grabbed Shen Tang's hand and choked up, "I never thought I would see you again in this life. I have failed Madam..."

Shen Tang said with guilt, "Mother Zhou has always cared about me. I only took you back now. I am sorry for you."

Mother Zhou shook her head repeatedly. When she was sent away, the girl was only five years old and couldn't even protect herself, let alone protect her.

Looking at Shen Tang, Mother Zhou smiled with tears in her eyes, "The girl has grown up and looks more like you, Madam. If Madam knew about this, she would definitely be very pleased."

Shen Tang helped Mother Zhou up and said, "Mother Zhou has been wronged in the village over the years."

Mother Zhou shook her head.

She didn't suffer any hardship, but she was tormented for ten years by the thought of the girl.

She was the most trusted person around Jiang. When Jiang was alive, she helped Jiang manage the farm. Later, Jiang was diagnosed with insanity and devoted herself to Shen Tang. All matters big and small on the farm were under her control.

Before she was sold, she was beaten with thirty sticks and was half dead. If Shen Sui had not sent her to Jiang's dowry farm, she might not have survived the day.

Mother Zhou and Shen Tang, one decided to make it up to Mother Zhou in the future, while the other wanted to act cautiously so as not to give others an excuse to send her away from the girl.
