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

Seeing Shen Tang's surprised expression, the man laughed, "Are you so surprised to see me?"

Shen Tang couldn't help but be surprised. She blurted out, "You're not dead?"

man,"……"

The man's smile froze, and he said weakly, "Who told you I was dead? Weren't you looking for me yesterday?"

No one told her he was dead.

She had only seen him a few times in total, and she didn't even know what his face looked like under the mask. It was just that after the Lantern Festival in her previous life, she never saw him again until she was strangled to death by Shen Xian in the woodshed of Prince Jingyang's Mansion.

When they first met, he was investigating the corruption case in the Changping Marquis Mansion. Everything was fine in the Changping Marquis Mansion, but he disappeared, so she suspected that something had happened to him.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang became even angrier. She was angry for herself half a year ago. This bastard man teased her at the Lantern Festival, saying that he would marry her and would send someone to propose marriage when he returned. She believed it. God knew that a few days later, someone from Prince Jingyang's Mansion came to propose marriage. She thought he was the prince of Jingyang, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The Prince Jingyang's Mansion came to propose marriage to her eldest sister.

I felt ashamed when I thought that I had taken his joke seriously and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

And what he said, what did he mean by still looking for him yesterday?

She thought he was dead, could she find him?

"I'm not looking for you."

The man was a little unhappy. "You're not looking for me? Then who were you looking for when you looked at all the noble family children at the Shouwang Mansion's Spring Banquet yesterday?"

In order to find his elder brother, Shen Tang had indeed looked back and forth at those young men from aristocratic families several times yesterday, but——

How did he know this?

Shen Tang looked at him, "Were you also at the Prince Shou's Mansion yesterday?"

Yes, anyone who has the courage to investigate the Marquis of Changping and kick the Marquis of Changping's son away must be of good status. As long as such a person is not engaged, he will definitely be invited to the Prince Shou's Palace.

Thinking about how he might have looked the man up and down several times yesterday, Shen Tang became more and more curious about what the man looked like under the mask.

Shen Tang asked, "Who are you?"

She reached out to take off the man's mask, but the man grabbed her hand.

His palm was burning hot. Shen Tang felt the heat spreading all the way from her hand to her face. Her face was burning. She wanted to pull her hand back, but no matter how hard she tried, he didn't let go. Shen Tang said angrily, "If you don't want to show me, just let me go!"

This bastard didn't know what intimate contact between men and women meant half a year ago, and now he's still like this. How can a man like him just hold a girl's hand?!

She didn't really need to see what he looked like, she just wanted to make up for the regrets of her past life.

In her previous life, she really believed what he said about coming to propose marriage, and she really wanted to marry him at that time. But later she was tricked into marrying Shen Xian to the Prince of Jingyang to bring good luck, and he never appeared in front of her again, so she thought he was dead. She always regretted not insisting on him taking off the mask at the Lantern Festival, and she didn't even know what the person she once loved looked like.

Shen Tang couldn't break free and became even more annoyed. He glared at the man, who said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to show you, I'm just afraid of scaring you."

If you don't want to show me, just say it directly. What excuses are you looking for? Shen Tang snorted, "I'm not that cowardly."

The man looked into Shen Tang's clear eyes and said, "Indeed, there's no one else in Kyoto who has the guts to let the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion be carried back empty."

After a pause, the man said, "The Jingyang Palace is extremely powerful, and the Jingyang Prince's face is unmatched. Why don't you want to marry him?"

This question made Shen Tang feel angry, as if she should marry the Prince of Jingyang.

Shen Tang believed that he could control his temper, but now he really couldn't hold it back any longer. Anger surged from the bottom of his heart to his face, but it turned into a smile. "I'm still waiting for you to marry me. I'm going to marry the Prince of Jingyang, so how can I marry you?"

The man seemed pleased, and smiled, "Didn't you think I was dead?"

Shen Tang, "..."

This guy's memory couldn't be better. She said this a while ago, and he still remembered it.

Although Shen Tang knew that he was not easy to fool, he was unwilling to tell the truth. "There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is a man who is too good-looking, and the other is a liar."

The word "liar" was emphasized particularly strongly.

The man could tell that Shen Xi was talking about him, but he had just saved her from the Prince of Changping, and it was not appropriate to immediately cross the river and burn the bridge, so he spoke so tactfully.

Shen Tang looked at the man and asked, "How long are you going to hold my hand?"

The man let go of her hand.

Shen Tang rubbed his wrist lightly and said, "Thank you for saving me just now."

After bowing, Shen Tang walked back to look for Ginkgo.

Ginkgo was still lying on the ground. Shen Tang pinched her philtrum and tiger's mouth, and Ginkgo woke up.

Ginkgo opened her eyes, saw Shen Tang, and called out, "Miss..."

Shen Tang asked, "What's going on?"

Ginkgo said, "I went back to get my cloak. When I came back, the maid told me that the young lady was here. I came over and was walking fine when suddenly my neck hurt and I fainted."

Her neck still hurt a lot, as if it had been hit by something.

Shen Tang knew that Ginkgo was knocked unconscious, so she helped her up. When she turned around, the man was gone.

As the master and servant were walking back and passing by the rockery, they saw a jade pendant lying quietly next to her discarded gold hairpin.

The jade pendant frightened her.

It is a man's jade pendant.

The slope here is not very high, and the Prince of Changping Marquis will not die from the fall, but after being kicked like that, people will definitely look for the person who kicked him. If the jade pendant is picked up by someone from the Changping Marquis's Mansion, there is no guarantee that they will not find out who the man is.

The Prince of Changping was beaten for her, and she couldn't leave such obvious evidence in the Changping Marquis' Mansion.

You can take it home...

Thinking of the embarrassing situation the man had encountered when he went to the Marquis' Mansion to get something from her, Shen Tang could hardly move her feet.

I don't want to pick up the jade pendant.

After a struggle in his heart for a while, Shen Tang walked over and picked up the jade pendant and gold hairpin together.

After walking around the rockery, Shen Tang saw the servant of the Marquis of Changping, who had blocked her way earlier, lying on the ground. Ginkgo didn't know what was going on and was shocked. "Miss, let's go quickly."

The master and servant walked back to the market without stopping. They felt relieved when they heard the noise.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw Shen Xian and the others coming over.

Seeing Shen Tang coming over as if nothing had happened, Shen Ying cursed the Marquis of Changping for being useless in her heart. She had sent the person over, but he still couldn't succeed.

Shen Tang naturally did not miss the disappointment in Shen Ying's eyes. God knows how much effort she put in to suppress the urge to slap Shen Ying.

A little impatience will ruin a big plan. A slap in the face would certainly make her feel relieved, but she was facing a group of people who would do anything to achieve their goals. She must not completely break off relations with them before she was able to protect herself.

She remembered today's revenge.

She will definitely get it back tenfold in the future!
