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

Shen Tang sat back in his original seat, and his eyes didn't move away until the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion came on stage to play the guzheng, but one thing lingered.

Shen Tang looked over and met Xie Guimo again.

But this time, she felt a little guilty.

Afraid that Xie Guimo would see his own shadow in her sword dance.

In her previous life, it was Shen Xian who asked her to dance with a sword. However, at that time, Shen Xian was the second prince's wife and was pregnant. Shen Xian proposed to the emperor that she dance with a sword at the welcoming banquet for the envoys from Western Liang. She couldn't refuse, and Xie Guimo was afraid that she would lose face for him, so he taught her personally.

If she hadn't worked so hard, how could she dance so well?

The sound of the guzheng spread over the garden, and Shen Tang enjoyed it while drinking tea, feeling quite comfortable.

But this comfort turned into distress when the spring banquet ended.

At the Spring Banquet, ladies from prominent families and young masters from aristocratic families performed their talents. The Prince Shou's Mansion prepared prizes, and several noble ladies selected the best talents as rewards.

The prize for the young master of aristocratic family was a Duan inkstone, which he gave to the eldest son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

The prize for the lady was a big Dongzhu, but Shen Tang didn't expect it to fall on her.

Originally, winning the prize was a good thing, but the Spring Banquet invited unengaged ladies and young masters from wealthy families to attend. Every year, the door of the house of the girl who won the prize would be trampled down by people.

She was pushed out by Shen Xian and had to dance with a sword, but she didn't want to take first place, nor did she want to get married to show off.

Isn't this just asking for trouble for her?

Shen Tang was extremely depressed and couldn't be happy at all.

Shen Tang was unhappy deep down, and Shen Xian's unhappiness was clearly visible on her face. She endured it from the moment Shen Tang took the stage until the Spring Festival Banquet ended, and then until the carriage left the area of ​​the Shou Prince's Mansion. Finally, she could no longer endure it and said through gritted teeth, "Second sister is really good at hiding her shortcomings!"

Shen Tang was fuming with anger and sneered, "I'm good at sword dancing. Don't you know that, elder sister? Otherwise, why would you push me out to dance with the sword for you without hesitation?"

Shen Tang knew that Shen Xi's purpose was to embarrass her in public, but being able to do such a thing did not mean that she could say such a thing. Otherwise, if the old lady heard about it, she would definitely punish her severely.

Shen Xi had no words to refute, and her silver teeth were almost broken.

The two of them had said nothing on the way here, and only exchanged these two sentences on the way back. Shen Tang lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, praying that no one would be interested in her, otherwise if her grandmother and father arranged a marriage for her, she would have to find a way to cancel it.

What is this thing called?

Shen Tang felt extremely depressed, feeling that what he was holding in his hand was not a Dongzhu, but a hot potato.

Here, Shen Tang and Shen Xi had not yet returned to the Marquis' Mansion. The news that she had won the prize by dancing with a sword at the Spring Banquet reached the old lady's ears, and she was very happy.

Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Tang went to see the old lady. As he walked around the screen, he saw her looking at him with a kind face. "Did you really win the prize at the Spring Banquet?"

Shen Tang then presented the Dongzhu, "This is the lucky charm of the Shouwang Mansion, and I present it to Grandmother."

The old lady smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you have such filial piety. Keep it for yourself..."

Before she could finish her words, the Second Lady said, "This is the Second Lady's first time winning a prize. She wants to honor you, Old Madam. You should keep it."

The second wife's favorite thing to do was to steal things from the old lady and the marquis to Shen Xi, and then to steal things from the old lady, because once they were in the hands of the old lady, they might fall into the hands of Shen Xi.

Shen Tang was not the kind of person Shen Xiang would play games with. It was just an oriental pearl, and she wouldn't be reluctant to give it up. This thing was considered a rare item for the Marquis's Mansion, but the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion put it in a box, so it was no wonder that Shen Xiang was reluctant to give up this marriage.

Shen Tang placed the Dongzhu on the small table next to the old lady.

The Third Madam laughed and said, "Normally, the Second Young Lady keeps a low profile. I didn't expect her to make such a splash at the Spring Banquet. When I heard the servants report it, I even suspected the news was wrong. The Second Young Lady is hiding herself too well."

Shen Tang said, "It was just luck. My talent is far inferior to that of my elder sister. I am on stage on her behalf today, so I dare not fail to give my all."

This is not something that can be achieved by luck. As for not being able to compare with Shen Xiang, she used to think that the second girl could not compare with the eldest girl, whether it was in music, chess, calligraphy, painting or poetry. But since several girls went out of the house to buy jewelry a few days ago, the third wife saw Shen Tang's intelligence, and coupled with winning the lottery today, she was sure that Shen Tang had been giving in to Shen Xiang before.

The third wife was convinced that it was Shen Xian who drugged her, framed Shen Tang, pushed Shen Tang into the fire pit, and hurt Shen Tang's heart, so Shen Tang stopped letting Shen Xian do what she wanted.

The Second Wife asked Shen Xian, "Is your foot injury serious?"

Shen Xian said, "It was just a slight twist, it's nothing serious."

Shen Luo asked, "Can we still go to the Jokhang Temple tomorrow?"

Shen Xian copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for Jiang and planned to send them to the Jokhang Temple for worship tomorrow. Now that she has sprained her ankle, she may not be able to go.

The Second Wife said, "There's no rush to go to the Jokhang Temple in the next few days. It won't be too late to go after your sprained foot heals."

If possible, the Second Wife didn't want Shen Xian to copy Buddhist scriptures at all, let alone deliver them to the Jokhang Temple in person. Shen Xian almost died at the hands of Jiang.

Shen Xian bit her lip lightly, her voice filled with a bit of grievance, "My mother didn't like me when she was alive. If I can't go to the Jokhang Temple because of a sprain, my mother would be even more dissatisfied with me if she knew..."

This mother and daughter pair are really good at sowing discord. Shen Tang even regretted using his mother Jiang's dream as an excuse to do things, which gave Shen Ying the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy.

The old lady sighed and said, "What mother wouldn't cherish the flesh that fell from her body? Your mother is sick, so she is like this. Grandmother shouldn't have stopped you from paying homage to your mother all these years."

Shen Xian nodded obediently.

The old lady looked at Mother Wang and said, "Bring me the jade bracelet on my dressing table."

Shen Xian thought it was for her, but when Mother Wang brought the jade bracelet over, the old lady waved to Shen Tang and put the jade bracelet on Shen Tang's wrist.

The old lady has given Shen Tang so many good things these days!

These jewellery should all belong to her!

Shen Xi was so jealous that her eyes turned red, and the second wife also looked unhappy.

Shen Tang sat for a while and then took Ginkgo back to Qingyi Garden.

Not long after returning home, Ginkgo came in and told Shen Tang, "The young lady's sprained ankle was fake. She practiced sword dancing when she returned to Qinglan Garden, but she let the sword slip out of her hand a few times. The young lady was so angry that she used the sword to break several pots of flowers in the yard..."

Poor pots of flowers, they suffered such a tragic fate at the hands of the young lady.

Shen Tang was happily lying on the couch eating some fruit.
