The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death
Chapter 23 Meeting Again
Shen Tang saw Shen Xie again five days later, on the day when the Shouwang Mansion held a spring banquet.
After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall and met Shen Xi at the gate.
Shen Tang smiled.
Sparks were burning in Shen Xi's eyes.
After five days of copying Buddhist scriptures day and night, Shen Xian's hands were cramped. Seeing Shen Tang, she wanted to peel Shen Tang's skin off. She squeezed out the words through her teeth, "You really are my good sister!"
Shen Tang looked innocent and angrily said, "Eldest sister doesn't want to copy the family rules and insists that I go to beg grandma. Didn't grandma ask you to copy it? Eldest sister is still not satisfied?"
satisfy? !
She was so satisfied that she just wanted to kill people!
I could have stayed in Qinglan Garden and copied the family rules, and I could have been lazy and gone to the Buddhist temple to copy them. Not only did I have to eat vegetarian food every day, but I also had to use gold-sprinkled paper. I had to copy with neat handwriting and be extra careful!
Second Aunt pleaded for her, saying that she wanted to practice her talent and would copy it after the Spring Festival Banquet, but Grandmother didn't agree!
Shen Xi had already lost a lot of weight due to typhoid fever, and after copying Buddhist scriptures for five days, she became even thinner.
Thinking that all the suffering she had endured was caused by Shen Tang, she was furious. As the eldest sister, she was bullied by her own younger sister and had no power to fight back!
This is outside Songhe Hall. I’m afraid that the sisters’ quarrel will reach the old lady’s ears, so I have to endure my anger no matter how angry I am.
There will be plenty of time to deal with her later!
Shen Xianyun loosened her clenched fists and turned to walk into the yard. Shen Tang followed her as if nothing had happened.
Today, Shen Tang wore a sky blue Shu brocade dress embroidered with orchids, and wore the orchid jewelry she bought at Wancui Pavilion that day on her head. The combination was perfect, making her look dignified and pretty.
Shen Xian wore a lotus-colored brocade dress with lotus flowers outlined on the hem and cuffs with gold and silver threads. It was luxurious yet elegant. It was made by the embroidery studio working late into the night just to make Shen Xian shine at the Spring Banquet.
Shen Ran and Shen Luo dressed up very carefully, which was eye-catching.
The old lady had no objection to their dressing, but the two sisters Shen Tang and Shen Xi had a quarrel. They did not go out together last time, and this time they were going to Prince Shou's Mansion. The old lady did not want such a thing to happen again.
The old lady said sternly, "Sisters from the same mansion, we rise and fall together. Last time, I spared you severe punishment because you had both just recovered from your illnesses. But if you continue to act so willfully and mischievously today at Shouwang Mansion for the Spring Banquet and spread rumors of discord between the sisters, you will all kneel in the Buddhist temple and reflect on your actions."
"Remember my grandmother's teachings."
The four of them responded in unison.
Shen Xian sat down next to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. Although my second sister is mad at me on the surface, she actually cares about me the most. When I caught a cold and fell ill, she asked Mother Jiang to comfort me and even said she would give me the jewelry you gave her."
The old lady looked at Shen Tang.
Shen Tang asked Shen Xian, "Did Mother Jiang tell my eldest sister that I want to give you the jewelry that my grandmother gave me?"
Shen Xian nodded, "Second Aunt was there when Mother Jiang said that."
"This wicked slave!"
Shen Tang cursed angrily, "She was unfaithful to me. I didn't expect her to say these untrue things behind my and my elder sister's back. Isn't this deliberately trying to sow discord between me and my elder sister? Fortunately, my grandmother still remembered that she had served me for ten years and beat her with a stick and sold her off. Such a wicked slave should be beaten to death."
Shen Tang's chest was heaving with anger. "Eldest sister doesn't want to go shopping with me. Could it be that you believe what Mother Jiang said and are mad at me for not sending you the jewelry yet?"
Shen Xian was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Tang to say that, and she immediately panicked.
She knew that Shen Tang would never give her the jewelry again, but she was so angry that Shen Tang forced her to go to the Buddhist temple and copy a hundred Buddhist scriptures. It happened that the old lady said that they sisters should live in harmony, so she took the opportunity to put pressure on Shen Tang to give her the jewelry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang not only denied what Jiang's mother said, but also turned the tables on her and put her in a frying pan.
Since she knew from Mother Jiang that Shen Tang cared about her, why was he unwilling to go shopping with her when he left the house?
Is not this contradictory?
She also plotted against Shen Tang by soaking in well water to catch a cold. Shen Tang knew everything, and it was Shen Tang who told the old lady about it. Shen Tang was already angry about this, so how could she give the jewelry that the old lady had awarded her to Shen Xi?
No one believed Shen Xian's words, even the old lady looked at Shen Xian with disappointment.
Shen Xi was anxious. "Grandma, I don't have it. That set of jewelry was given to my second sister by you. Even if she gave it to me, I wouldn't want it."
Fortunately, at this time, a maid came in and said, "Old Madam, the carriage is ready."
Shen Xian quickly stood up and said, "Grandma, we will not forget your instructions. We will go to Prince Shou's Mansion first."
Shen Tang also stood up and went out with Shen Ran and Shen Luo.
After being punished by the old lady to copy the family rules and being beaten again, Shen Ying had no choice but to endure riding in a carriage with Shen Tang. She got on the carriage first, and then Ginkgo helped Shen Tang sit on it.
As soon as she entered the carriage, she received Shen Ying's cold stare. Shen Tang pretended not to see it. She didn't have the leisure to argue with Shen Ying. She went to the Prince Shou's Mansion today to look for her eldest brother.
The carriage gurgled forward, and Shen Tang closed his eyes and thought. Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was quite far from Shouwang Mansion, and the carriage could not move fast after passing through several busy streets. When it reached the street where Shouwang Mansion was located, it moved even slower.
Today, there were so many ladies from prominent families and young masters coming to the Shouwang Mansion for a banquet that the streets outside the mansion were blocked. A journey that usually took only a few sips of tea now took a whole cup of tea.
Shen Tang never expected that the first person she met when she arrived at the Shouwang Mansion to attend the Spring Banquet was the Prince of Jingyang.
She sat by the carriage door. When the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain and got out. She saw Xie Guimo riding towards her in the sunlight. His face, which was so hateful to both humans and gods, like a demon in the world, came into view.
After living a new life, Shen Tang never expected that she and Xie Guimo would meet again in front of the gate of Prince Shou's Mansion.
Except for the year when Xie Guimo went to war, she had lived with him under the same roof for three years. She knew that he never liked attending banquets, so she was particularly surprised that he would come to the Shouwang Mansion to attend the Spring Banquet.
Their eyes met unexpectedly.
Xie Guimo's eyebrows were sparse, and there was no warmth in his eyes, as cold as the winter wind.
There was that expression again, as if she owed him something.
Shen Tang was filled with anger, and then he glared out with the same firm and impartial look as he had countless times in his previous life.
It was not until Xie Guimo frowned that Shen Tang realized what he had done. He quickly turned around and got off the carriage, wishing he could kill himself by hitting his head against the stone lions outside the Prince Shou's Mansion.
Xie Guimo just watched Shen Tang hurriedly walk up the stairs and hurried into Prince Shou's Mansion.
Behind him, Xuanyi Hou's son Chu Yi rode over, his body shaking with laughter on horseback. "Am I seeing things? How dare a girl stare at you?"
"This second young lady from the Shen family is really interesting."
