The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death
Chapter 34 Birthday
The spring rain is continuous.
Fortunately, the weather was good. After two days of rain, the sky cleared up on Princess Roujia's birthday.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and was as blue as a piece of jade, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.
After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall, and as soon as he entered, he saw two unhappy faces.
Princess Roujia invited them to go boating on the lake. No matter how big the boat was, it was not that big and it was impossible to invite everyone. Therefore, Shen Ran and Shen Luo were not invited. They also wanted to go boating on the lake after the rain, so they were naturally in a bad mood if they couldn't go.
Shen Xian took the old lady's arm and said, "Grandma, after a while, can you let us charter a boat and invite some ladies from prominent families for a boat ride on the lake?"
Shen Xian acted coquettishly with the old lady, Shen Ran and Shen Luo also looked at the old lady eagerly, and with the second wife's support, how could the old lady not agree? "Okay, grandma agrees."
Only then did Shen Ran and Shen Luo become happy.
Yanqi Lake was outside the city. Shen Xi was so anxious that she couldn't wait for the maid to report that the carriage was ready. She said to the old lady, "It's bad to let Princess Roujia wait for us. We will set off early."
The old lady did not tell them to be harmonious with each other when outside. After all, at the Spring Banquet, Shen Tang danced with swords on behalf of Shen Xi and won the first prize, which was enough to prove the deep love between the sisters, and the old lady was very pleased.
But the necessary warnings still need to be given, the old lady said, "Be careful when you are having fun on the boat."
The two nodded hurriedly.
But when she turned around to leave, Shen Tang caught a glimpse of a smile on the corner of the Second Wife's mouth. That smile made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, but when she wanted to look more clearly, the Second Wife was already talking to the Third Wife.
After leaving the house, he got on a carriage and headed straight for Yanqi Lake.
The mountains are green and the scenery is endless.
The trees are shady and the flowers and plants are flourishing.
The carriage stopped, Shen Tang lifted the curtain and got out, and saw a flock of geese flying by. Yanqi Lake was truly worthy of its name.
The maid from Prince Duan's mansion was waiting there. She came over to pay her respects and then led them to the boat. From afar, they could hear bursts of laughter.
Princess Roujia has arrived, and many ladies from prominent families have also arrived.
Seeing them, Princess Roujia came forward with a smile. Shen Xian took the brocade box from the maid, bowed to Princess Roujia, and said, "We are late. Today is Princess Roujia's birthday. I wish you a happy birthday every year."
Princess Roujia graciously accepted the birthday gift from Shen Xi and opened it. Inside the brocade box was a pair of exquisite gold and ruby earrings.
When ladies of noble families interact with each other, the gifts they give each other are mostly exquisite. Otherwise, if they are too expensive, it will be a burden to exchange them.
Princess Roujia said, "Thank you for coming to accompany me on my birthday boat trip."
"We are blessed by the princess. This weather is perfect for a boat trip."
As she spoke, Shen Xian said to Shen Tang, "Second sister, why don't you take out the birthday gift you prepared for the princess?"
Before she finished speaking, Ginkgo had already handed the brocade box to Shen Tang.
Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.
She didn't tell Shen Tang that today was Princess Roujia's birthday. How did Shen Tang know?!
Shen Tang really looked down upon Shen Xian's little tricks. Her grandmother had repeatedly warned her that sisters in the same mansion share the same fate. She embarrassed herself in public. Shen Xian must be very proud, right? She didn't even bring a gift to Princess Roujia's birthday. She was so ignorant of the ways of the world. No one told people to say that their mother died young, and no one taught them. Even if Princess Roujia didn't mind, those ladies from wealthy families would still grumble behind her back. If Princess Roujia stopped associating with her, how could she get close to Shen Xian, her twin?
She did things according to her own preferences, just for the sake of momentary pleasure. In her previous life, she actually climbed to the throne of Queen. Shen Tang felt unwilling to accept it when he thought about it.
Shen Tang gave the gift to Princess Roujia, "May the princess be happy and healthy, and worry-free for many years."
Princess Roujia smiled brightly. She took the brocade box and opened it impatiently.
Inside was a white crane jade hairpin. The jade was crystal clear and more importantly, it had a good meaning and was exquisitely carved and unique.
Princess Roujia said, "I like this jade hairpin very much. Thank you, Sister Shen Tang."
Shen Xian deliberately concealed the fact that Princess Roujia had celebrated her birthday, making Shen Tang misunderstand that they were just going on a boat trip. Between the two sisters, Princess Roujia was closer to Shen Tang. Before, Princess Roujia had teased Shen Tang, saying that her elder brother, Prince Duan, had a good relationship with Prince Jingyang, and if he married Shen Tang, they could become brothers-in-law in the future.
Princess Duan also liked Shen Tang very much. She thought that the Prince Duan’s Mansion would really come to propose marriage. Fortunately, they didn’t, otherwise she would be broken off from the engagement. If Shen Tang could marry the Prince Duan, she would be furious.
Princess Roujia couldn't let go of the hairpin and liked it so much that she put it on right away, which shows how satisfied she was with this birthday gift.
As she put on the white crane jade hairpin, Princess Yuhe of Shouwang Mansion came over. Princess Roujia went to greet her, "Finally she's here."
Princess Yuhe said with a look of disapproval, "You didn't even come to the Spring Banquet at Prince Shou's Mansion. You're so arrogant."
Princess Roujia said sadly, "It's not that I don't want to go. If I hadn't been so proud, I would have asked you to postpone the Spring Festival Banquet for a few days for me. It's only because I didn't go that Mother allowed me to go on a boat trip to celebrate my birthday."
Princess Yuhe said distressedly, "I've seen many doctors and imperial physicians, but how come there is no solution at all?"
Princess Roujia had a problem that she would suffer from excruciating pain during her period. Actually, Shen Tang also had it. However, after she married Xie Guimo, Xie Guimo found the doctor who treated the princess to help cure this problem. Princess Roujia found that the medicine worked very well. She still remembered the prescription and would copy a copy to send to Princess Roujia later. She also had to take it herself. She didn't want to experience the feeling as if someone was drilling into her stomach with something again.
Gradually, several ladies from prominent families arrived, including the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
Last time, the two of them parted on bad terms in Wancui Pavilion. Miss Li looked at Shen Tang with an unfriendly look, but Shen Tang did not take her seriously. However, Shen Xi saw Miss Li's hostility towards Shen Tang.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Shen Xi smiled and walked towards Miss Li.
When everyone was present, they boarded the boat.
The boat is very spacious, and it is filled with various cakes, fruits, and wines, as well as a piano and other supplies for everyone to entertain themselves. You will definitely have a great time today.
The boat headed towards the center of the lake. Everyone stood on the deck, looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, chatting and laughing.
However, there was more than just one boat on Yanqi Lake. There were two more. Perhaps attracted by the laughter and chatter on the boats, one of the boats came towards them, getting closer and closer, so close that the ladies were worried, "Are we going to collide?"
There were several men on the boat. When the boat got closer, Shen Tang saw the second wife's nephew, the eldest son of the Wang family, standing on the bow.
When he saw him, Shen Tang's eyelids twitched for no reason and he felt uneasy in his heart. Shen Tang decided not to stay on the deck.
But as soon as she turned around, she saw Miss Li from the Yongning Earl's Mansion accidentally stepping on her skirt and rushing towards her.
Shen Tang couldn't avoid her and was pushed back. He staggered and couldn't stop. Just as he was about to fall off the boat, Shen Tang grabbed Miss Li's hand.
Wow.
The water splashed several feet high.
They both fell into the lake.
"Oh no!"
"Miss Shen Er fell into the water!"
