The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death
Chapter 24 Heart-killing
When Shen Xian came out of the carriage, Shen Tang had already fled into Prince Shou's mansion in a panic. When Shen Xian saw Prince Jingyang, she was also startled, and then her eyes turned red uncontrollably.
When she got off the carriage, she wanted to greet Prince Jingyang and say a few words, but he seemed not to see her at all. He walked up the steps and entered the Prince Shou's Mansion.
Shen Tang's face was burning with anger, and she regretted glaring at Xie Guimo. Really, she didn't mean it.
But in their previous life, the two of them were always at loggerheads and never had a chance to talk to each other properly. Whenever Xie Guimo put on that sour face, she would get angry and turn into a belligerent rooster.
But that was in the past life!
No one provoked her in this life. From Xie Guimo's perspective, she went out hunting to save the second prince and was poisoned, almost died. She was rejected when her wedding sedan chair arrived, and the marriage was cancelled. She was forced to come to the Shouwang Mansion to attend the Spring Banquet. It would be strange if she was in a good mood. His face was not good, and it was not directed at her, but she was stressed.
After entering the Prince Shou's Mansion, Shen Tang stopped. As sisters from the same mansion, she couldn't leave Shen Xian and the others behind and go first. But when she turned around and looked back, she didn't see Shen Xian and Shen Ran, but saw Xie Guimo walking in.
Without any warning, their eyes met again——
Shen Tang quickly took two steps to the side, wishing she could be invisible. It was not until Xie Guimo walked over that her pounding mood slowly calmed down.
Shen Xian was ignored and was in a bad mood. When she saw Shen Tang, she immediately got angry and asked, "Why are you walking so fast?"
Did she think she liked walking so fast? Shen Tang said expressionlessly, "Eldest sister didn't feel embarrassed when she met the Prince of Jingyang. I can't do that. I can only avoid him."
Shen Xian gritted her teeth in anger. She suspected that Shen Tang was mocking her for being thick-skinned. She wanted to explode, but because there were people around, she had to endure it.
The maid from Prince Shou's mansion came over, bowed to them, and then led the way.
I followed the maid into the inner courtyard and walked towards the garden of Prince Shou's Mansion. Before entering the yard, I saw two kites competing for height in the sky above the garden, and their laughter like silver bells came out, crisp and pleasant.
Although it is only early spring and the leaves are still a little yellow, there are many exotic flowers blooming in the garden. However, the most eye-catching things are not the exotic flowers and plants, but the ladies chasing and playing, who are charming and graceful.
But as they entered, the bustling garden suddenly became much quieter. The ladies from prominent families all looked at them and gathered in groups of three or four, whispering to each other.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tang wished he could run away as far away as possible.
In the past six months, Shen Ying has been flaunting her identity as the future Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Jingyang's Mansion, which has attracted countless envy, jealousy and hatred. Now that her engagement has been broken off, who knows how many people will take advantage of her misfortune.
It would be fine if Shen Xian was hit, Shen Tang would be happy to see it happen, but he was afraid that she, an innocent person, would be implicated.
What you fear will come to you. Now, someone is here to take advantage of your misfortune. Princess Chun'an of Prince Zhao's Mansion blocks their way.
Princess Chun'an sighed, "What happened to Miss Shen? I haven't seen her for only half a month, how come she has lost so much weight?"
This question is too heartbreaking.
Why did Shen Xi become so thin? Couldn't Princess Chun'an guess it?
Princess Chun'an admires Xie Guimo. Ever since Shen Xian and Xie Guimo got engaged, Princess Chun'an would always make trouble for Shen Xian whenever she met her.
In her previous life, Shen Tang married Xie Guimo instead, so Princess Chun'an let Shen Xiang go and started targeting her. She deliberately pushed her into the lotus pond and almost drowned her.
However, in her previous life, less than a month after she fell into the water, something happened in Prince Zhao's mansion. Prince Zhao embezzled tribute and was demoted to a prince by the emperor in exchange for a barren fiefdom. Princess Chun'an then left Beijing and never returned.
Shen Tang also had no good feelings towards Princess Chun'an and said coldly, "Princess Chun'an, why are you asking such questions when you already know the answer?"
Princess Chun'an laughed, "Second Miss Shen drugged her eldest sister, preventing her from getting into the bridal sedan at Prince Jingyang's mansion. In the end, the engagement was broken off, yet she doesn't feel the slightest bit of guilt."
Why should she feel guilty about something she didn't do?
Shen Tang ignored her and prepared to leave, but Shen Xian said bluntly, "Second sister drugged me because she was afraid that I would marry and become a widow, not to steal my marriage. Naturally, I don't blame her."
Listen, what a good elder sister she is. Even though her marriage was ruined, no one blames her.
How can there be such shameless people in the world?
Fortunately, she remembered her grandmother's teachings and spoke out to defend Shen Xi. But Shen Xi, on the other hand, disgusted her instead.
Afraid of vomiting his breakfast out of nausea, Shen Tang walked away without saying a word.
Except for Ginkgo, no one caught up with him, and Shen Tang was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Shen Tang did not go to crowded places. She came to the Shouwang Mansion to attend the Spring Banquet just to find her elder brother, nothing else. But at this time most of the young masters from aristocratic families were in the outer courtyard, and it was still early for the banquet to start, so she took Ginkgo for a walk.
As they walked, the noise became far away from them. Shen Tang stood by the lake, feeling the breeze, lost in thought.
I don't know how long I stood there, but when I heard footsteps, I turned my head to look at her and said, "Girl, it's the older girl..."
Shen Tang glanced over and saw Shen Xi walking towards her.
Shen Xian came over and said, "You ran so far, it's hard for me to find you."
Shen Tang said indifferently, "No one asked you to look for me."
Shen Xian said, "I'm here to apologize to you. I know you don't want to hear me say that."
It's really strange that the person who tried to make excuses in front of my grandmother would actually apologize to her outside the house.
Shen Tang looked up and asked, "Did the sun rise from the west today?"
Shen Xian's face froze. "I know you're still angry with me, but I hope you can prioritize the Pingyuan Marquisate. My engagement was broken off by the Jingyang Prince's Mansion, which not only affects me, but also you, my third and fourth sisters, and even my father."
What he said was so sincere and heartfelt, but Shen Tang didn't believe a word of it.
She, Shen Xi, is not someone who would give in.
Unless you have to.
Shen Tang said impatiently, "Just tell me, what do you want from me?"
Shen Xian's face was stiff. She said, "Prince Jingyang has also come to the Shou Palace. You should go and apologize to him and tell him that it was you who drugged me that day, which is why I couldn't bring him happiness. My marriage with him can't be called off just like that."
Shen Tang laughed. "It's not enough that you drugged yourself and framed me, you also want me to apologize to the Prince of Jingyang?"
Shen Xian said, "This is also what grandma meant!"
Shen Tang sneered, "Grandmother wouldn't do such a shameless thing, and I'm not that easy to fool."
"If you say another word, I'll tell my father."
Shen Tang was firm in his attitude.
Seeing that she couldn't convince Shen Tang, Shen Xian stomped her feet and left.
As Shen Xian took a step forward, she heard the sound of branches breaking. Shen Tang looked towards the source of the sound, "Who's there?!"
Xuanyi Hou's son Chu Yi came out from behind the rockery, rubbing his nose and saying awkwardly, "I said I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Do you believe me?"
