This sentence drew everyone's attention to the second wife.

The second wife suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Speaking of being sick, Shen Tang also fell ill.

Speaking of grievances, most of the grievances Shen Tang suffered were inflicted by Shen Ying.

If Shen Xi can spend so much money from the public treasury to buy jewelry, why can't Shen Tang?

Shen Tang looked at the old lady, his eyes red as he said, "Grandma, I didn't want the public to pay for it, and I didn't know that Second Aunt, who was about to become the eldest sister, bought too much jewelry. It's just that the people from the Jingyang Palace took away my favorite gold hairpin, and I didn't dare ask my father to help me get it back.

I fell in love with this set of jewelry today. After looking around for a few times, I still wanted it. I calculated that I had just enough money, so I bought it..."

The old lady also heard about the golden hairpin being taken away. She didn't understand why the guards of Prince Jingyang took the golden hairpin away, but it was definitely impossible for her to get it back.

Seeing Shen Tang's aggrieved expression of being afraid of being scolded for spending his own money, the old lady glanced coldly at the second wife. The second wife felt as if the chair under her butt had grown thorns out of nowhere, making it difficult for her to sit still.

The old lady softened her tone and said, "Grandmother won't blame you. Since the public has paid for it, it's considered as compensation from the public."

Shen Tang was stunned at first, then pleasantly surprised, and quickly stood up, "Thank you, Grandma."

The superb acting skills bring out the unexpected surprise to the fullest.

Shen Xian was so angry that she didn't even crush the scented handkerchief in her hand.

The joy of buying more jewelry is gone.

Just because Shen Tang always gave in to Shen Xi in his previous life, it didn't mean he didn't understand her. When Shen Xi left them to go to Jinbao Pavilion, Shen Tang guessed what she was going to do.

Shen Tang didn't have to buy that set of jewelry, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to cause trouble for Shen Xi and the Second Wife.

Seeing Shen Xi's eyes blazing with anger, yet she was trying to hold back and not lash out, Shen Tang felt incredibly happy.

The Second Wife was unwilling to let Shen Tang take such a huge advantage of the family. She would have tolerated it even if it was the same amount as Shen Xi's, but it was doubled. She couldn't object, so she kept winking at the Third Wife, asking her to take the lead and then she would change her mind.

The Third Madam also had some opinions. After all, the palace belonged to everyone. But just as she was about to speak, Shen Tang took the jewelry box from the maid and handed it to the Third Madam, "This is the jewelry that Fourth Sister chose. It's very beautiful. Third Aunt, take a look."

The third wife paused as the words were about to come out of her mouth, and subconsciously reached out to take the jewelry box.

When she opened the jewelry box, she saw that in addition to the pair of jade hairpins that Shen Luo had chosen, there was also a pair of gold hairpins and a gold bracelet that looked heavy.

The Third Wife was no fool, and she immediately realized what was going on. She said, "I know Second Sister-in-law has always been fond of the eldest daughter, but the old lady asked Second Sister-in-law to help manage the household, so Second Sister-in-law should treat everyone equally. We are not lacking in that, right?"

The second wife spat out a mouthful of blood and almost choked herself to death.

The old lady looked at the second wife with even more displeasure. She used the excuse that she was tired and sent everyone away, but kept the second wife.

Shen Tang knew that the old lady kept the second wife to scold her for being unfair in housekeeping, but Shen Tang was not happy. Without a mistress in the eldest house, the old lady would only hand over the household affairs to her own daughter-in-law and would not let the third and fourth wives, who were born out of wedlock, get involved.

Even when scolding the Second Wife, he had to send everyone away, for fear of affecting the Second Wife's prestige as the housekeeper.

But she would not let the Second Wife always monopolize the power of housekeeper in the Marquis' Mansion. She gave Shen Luo a few more pieces of jewelry today. In addition to appeasing the Third Wife, she also wanted to take the opportunity to see if the Third Wife had the courage to go against the Second Wife.

Shen Tang walked in front, thinking about things as he walked, and Ginkgo followed behind, looking at the jewelry box in her hand, feeling like she was dreaming.

Not only was the girl not tricked by the eldest girl, she also received jewelry awarded by the old lady and went to Wancui Pavilion to buy such expensive jewelry without having to spend a single ounce of silver herself. How did the girl suddenly become so powerful?

Did the girl get enlightened by the blow from the Second Wife?

Ginkgo even wanted to burn incense and kowtow to that pillar.

The master and servant walked forward for a while, and then a voice with suppressed anger came from behind, "Stop!"

It was Shen Xi's voice.

Shen Tang stopped but did not turn around.

Shen Xian angrily chased after him, blocking Shen Tang's way and gritting her teeth, "You're happy just because my grandmother punished me?!"

Shen Tang laughed when he heard this. "Who started this? You and Second Aunt accused me of ignoring Grandmother's words. Are you trying to get Grandmother to reward me? You do it on the first day, so don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth."

Shen Xian suppressed her anger and said, "We are sisters, do we have to make such a fuss?"

Now that I know they are sisters, why didn’t I think of this when I was planning to marry her off in place of me?

Shen Tang felt disgusted, but she held it back. She knew what Shen Ying was going to do. "Since we're sisters, don't beat around the bush."

Shen Xian really didn't beat around the bush, "Go ask Grandmother to forgive me for copying the family rules!"

really……

Shen Tang said coldly, "I don't have that ability."

Shen Xian said, "Go and ask Grandmother. Grandmother will not refuse you."

Row.

She could ask her grandmother for help.

As long as Shen Xi doesn't regret it.

Shen Tang turned around and went back to Songhe Hall.

Shen Xi did not go with them, but took her maid back to Qinglan Garden where she lived.

I had only drunk half a cup of tea when Hongxiu, the old lady's maid, came in with a stack of papers.

Hongxiu said, "The eldest lady wanted to go to the Buddhist temple to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the late lady in the afterlife, and the old lady agreed."

"This is the gold-sprinkled paper that the old lady usually uses to copy Buddhist scriptures. She specially sent this servant to bring it to me. When the eldest lady has copied it, she will send it to the Jokhang Temple for worship."

Shen Juan, "...!!!"

Really.

Shen Xi's face was fuming with anger.

What she wants is not to copy the family rules, but to copy Buddhist scriptures instead!

It’s not about copying in the Buddhist temple!

Shen Xian was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but she had no choice but to agree.

Shen Tang just returned to Qingyi Garden and sneezed twice, but his mood became better.

Since you are unwilling to copy the family rules, then just copy the Buddhist scriptures.

Copying Buddhist scriptures can calm your mind, and going to the Buddhist temple to copy them using the gold-sprinkled paper given by the old lady will make you even more calm.
