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

A good night's sleep.

After waking up early in the morning and having breakfast, Shen Tang went to pay his respects to the old lady as usual, but today he brought Qiu Tong with him.

Since I have asked the old lady for Qiu Tong, I must treat Ginkgo the same.

Seeing Shen Tang's rosy complexion, the old lady asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Shen Tang said, "Grandma, I slept well."

...I can see it.

The heart is not ordinary big.

The old lady didn't know whether to say that Shen Tang had a good or bad temper.

As soon as Shen Tang sat down, Shen Xian came. Shen Tang looked rosy, but Shen Xian looked worse. There were faint bruises under her eyelids, which showed that she had tossed and turned and didn't sleep well last night.

This contrast makes Shen Tang's calmness and composure, as well as his ability to remain calm in the face of difficulties, even more precious.

Shen Tang sat there, listening to the Second Madam and the Old Madam discussing things. Although it was called a discussion, in fact the Second Madam had already made up her mind. It was more of a notification to the Old Madam. As long as the Old Madam nodded, Shen Sui would not say anything if there was anything inappropriate.

Shen Tang was bored and was about to leave when a maid came in and said, "Second Madam, the cousin is here."

"Please come in quickly."

The maid left, and soon the second wife's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, came in.

Mrs. Wang stepped forward and saluted the old lady. The old lady smiled and said, "It's been a while since you last visited the mansion."

Mrs. Wang said, "It's been a while since I last came to pay my respects to you, old lady. There have been a lot of trivial matters at the mansion recently, so I hurried here as soon as I had time. I hope you won't blame me, old lady."

Mrs. Wang not only came, but also brought some supplements to honor the old lady.

Mrs. Wang was very good at dancing with her sleeves. With just a few words, she made the old lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop. She waved her hand and said, "I'm old, and my cheeks can't stand such laughter. You two sisters-in-law should go to the side and talk privately."

Mrs. Wang sat for a while before going to the South Courtyard to talk with the Second Mrs.

When they reached the south courtyard and entered the house, the second wife asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to see me for something?"

Mrs. Wang Da swept the maids in the room, and the Second Madam dismissed them all. Then Mrs. Wang Da said, "Your good-for-nothing nephew has taken a fancy to the second young lady in the mansion and wants to marry her."

The Second Wife frowned, "People outside the mansion are saying that the Second Miss is unlucky for her husband. Isn't the eldest sister-in-law afraid?"

Madam Wang said, "What do you mean by 'lucky husband'? Rumors are truly destructive. Duke Wen's fall wasn't caused by the second young lady. Someone threw a stone at the servant carrying the sedan chair in Duke Wen's mansion..."

The second wife was surprised and asked, "How did the eldest sister-in-law know about this?"

"When Duke Wen got into trouble, your eldest brother happened to pass by and saw it with his own eyes," said Mrs. Wang.

The Second Wife said, "Even if the Second Miss is not really a jinx, the Marquis and the Old Lady will not agree to this marriage."

The Second Wife really didn't want to say anything bad about her nephew from her mother's side, but her nephew's incompetence didn't disappear just because she didn't say it. Not to mention the Marquis, even the Old Lady looked down on the eldest young master of the Wang family. If she opened her mouth to say this, wouldn't she be asking for scolding?

However, the Second Madam also knew that her nephew had a bad reputation and it was impossible for him to get a good marriage, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not have wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The Marquis has no sons, only two daughters, and he will definitely do his best to support his son-in-law in the future.

Although others didn't know that Shen Xian was the Second Madam's biological daughter, First Madam Wang knew it. Since she had come, she was at least somewhat confident that she could convince the Second Madam. She said, "It's not just the Second Madam who's rumored to bring bad luck on her husband, but Xian'er as well. If the Second Madam doesn't marry and the rumors about her bringing bad luck on her husband are dispelled, no one will dare to ask for Xian'er's hand in marriage."

When Mrs. Wang mentioned Shen Xi, the second wife's brows immediately relaxed a little.

Mrs. Wang served tea and said, "I know that if I propose marriage directly, the Marquis of Pingyuan and the old lady will not agree, but once something happens, they can no longer refuse."

The second wife was a little hesitant. After all, it was well known in Kyoto that Shen Tang had a hot temper. She couldn't even get on the bridal sedan at the Jingyang Prince's Mansion. Even if the matter was settled, if she would rather die than marry, given the Marquis's temper, the Wang family would never be able to set foot in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion again.

If it gets to that point, it will be difficult to resolve.

The Second Wife remained silent. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Madam Sun's voice could be heard, "This servant is back..."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open and Mother Sun walked in.

The second wife asked, "How is the calculation?"

Madam Sun said, "I went out this morning and found three fortune tellers. I looked at the second young lady's birth date and time. They all said that if she were born a boy, it wouldn't be auspicious, as she would be separated from her family at a young age and live under someone else's roof, but she would have a smooth and happy life after all the hardships. However, if she were born a girl, she would have a rare destiny of great wealth and honor, bringing prosperity to her father, husband, and children, and everything would be good. The fortune teller, seeing such a good fortune, demanded several taels of silver from me, saying that any less would be against the will of heaven."

Is it a good thing to have such a fate?

The second wife asked, "What about the other horoscope?"

Mother Sun was silent for a moment, "Not as good as the second lady..."

The second wife's face darkened.

Mother Sun said it briefly, "I'm afraid it's not that she's not as good as the second girl, but that she's far inferior."

How could Shen Tang go past her daughter? !

She wanted to see if Shen Tang really had such a good life!

The Second Wife looked at the First Wife, "I'll do as you say."

……

That evening, Shen Tang was free and feeding the koi in the yard. He threw a few baits in the yard, and the koi rushed to eat them.

A little maid came in from outside the courtyard and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lady asked me to tell you that Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion has sent an invitation, inviting you and the eldest lady to go to Yanqi Lake for a trip in three days."

If the maid hadn't told him, Shen Tang would have forgotten that Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion would have her birthday in a few days.

Princess Duan and Princess Jingyang have a good relationship. After Shen Xian got engaged to Prince Jingyang, Princess Duan gave each of them a high-quality mutton-fat jade bracelet when she saw her and Shen Xian. The two sisters also had more contact with Princess Roujia, but perhaps it was because of too frequent contact. Now that Shen Xian's engagement was broken off by the Jingyang Palace, Princess Roujia felt embarrassed not to invite them to her birthday party at Yanqi Lake.

Princess Duan is gentle and Princess Roujia is lively and cheerful. Shen Tang likes to get along with them very much. She also doesn't want Shen Ying's marriage with Prince Jingyang to affect their relationship. Since she has sent an invitation, she will definitely go.

She remembered that she had given a white crane jade hairpin in her previous life, which Princess Roujia liked very much. It could be given to her as a birthday gift.

Shen Tang was already looking forward to the lake trip four days later.
