Shen Tang had expected that Mrs. Wang would ask Mrs. Er to help her propose marriage to the Yongning Earl's Mansion, so she was not surprised.

Firstly, Miss Li fell into the water because she "accidentally" bumped into her and was pulled into the water by her. Secondly, there was no mistress in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and matters such as interpersonal relationships had always been the responsibility of the Second Wife. Everyone in Kyoto knew that Shen Sui had no children, and the title would definitely be inherited by the Second House in the future. When the Second Master and the Second Wife went out, they had long been treated as half a Marquis and his wife.

The Second Madam had given enough face to propose marriage, but the eldest son of the Wang family was too bad, and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion would not be satisfied. In addition, Shen Xi had contributed to this disaster, so the Yongning Marquis's Mansion would not have a good attitude towards the Second Madam.

Just as Shen Tang guessed, the Second Madam came back from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion with a very unhappy look on her face. As for what the Yongning Marquis' Mansion said to make the Second Madam so angry, Shen Tang had no idea.

However, it is very rare to propose marriage in one go, especially when the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is full of anger. The Yongning Marquis's Mansion will not give in unless the Second Wife goes three or five times, even if the marriage seems to be a done deal to outsiders.

For three consecutive days, the third wife was busy with this matter, but during these three days, Shen Tang didn't even leave the house.

She saw a doctor for typhoid fever and took medicine three times a day, but the fever not only did not improve, but also showed signs of worsening.

That day, Shen Tang leaned on the big pillow, feeling headache, fatigue, and severe chest tightness.

Ginkgo came in with the medicine bowl and saw Shen Tang clutching her chest. She said, "Miss, you've been taking medicine for three days, but you haven't gotten any better. You need to see a different doctor."

Most people will feel better after taking medicine for three days, if not completely.

The doctor who came to treat her was Dr. Liu from Huichuntang. He was a good doctor, so this shouldn't have happened.

Shen Tang's eyes fell on the bowl of medicine that was still steaming. "Who made this medicine for me?"

Ginkgo had been following Shen Tang these days and had seen a lot of dirty things, so she had become a bit wary. She said, "Si'er made the medicine for the girl, and he was waiting in the corridor to make it. It shouldn't be..."

Si'er is one of us, so no one should be able to tamper with the medicine she is decocting in the corridor, but it is also a fact that her condition has not improved.

The problem must be with the medicine.

After the medicine was delivered to Qingyi Garden, no one had the opportunity to take action, but what if someone had tampered with it before it was delivered?

The medicine was brought to the pharmacy by the people in the front yard and Doctor Liu.

Shen Tang asked, "Are there any undecocted medicines?"

Ginkgo said, "There's one last pack."

"Go out and find a doctor to check it out."

Since it was related to Shen Tang's condition, Ginkgo didn't dare to take it lightly. He put down the medicine bowl and went to do it.

Just after taking the medicine bag in her hand, Ginkgo was a little troubled again and said, "If I leave the house alone, the gatekeeper will check the things I take out of the house..."

Now, except for a few people who the second wife cannot touch, all the lucrative jobs in the inner and outer courtyards of the marquis' mansion are handled by the second wife's people.

If someone else were to leave the house, they could sneak out by paying some money, but the Second Madam has always been very strict with Shen Tang, so if Ginkgo were to handle this matter, she would definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

It was really ridiculous that she, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, had such difficulty even asking her maid to go out of the house to find someone to check for medicine.

But no one can stop Shen Tang from doing what he wants to do.

Shen Tang was about to ask Ginkgo to find Manager Li, but just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the window.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to scare the master and servant.

Ginkgo looked at the gate, which was open, and hurried to guard it.

Shen Tang waited for someone to come in, but after waiting for a while, the man did not jump in through the window. Shen Tang frowned, endured the dizziness, lifted the quilt and went out.

She walked to the window and pushed it open, then she saw the person who knocked on her window. He was dressed in black and had a familiar face, which shocked Shen Tang.

Chen Shan said, "The master is worried about the safety of Miss Shen Er, so he ordered me to come and protect her. If Miss Shen Er needs anything, please feel free to send me to handle it."

master?

Shen Tang blurted out, "You're not the Prince of Jingyang's man?"

Now it was Chen Shan's turn to be shocked.

How did Miss Shen know that he was the Prince of Jingyang's man?

Before being sent to the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion by his master, he rarely appeared in public, and had never met Miss Shen Er.

Chen Shan looked at Shen Tang in confusion. He was wondering how Shen Tang knew that, but in Shen Tang's eyes, he was wondering why she would say that.

Shen Tang wished he could bite his tongue. Although he was reborn and had to start all over again, he had actually experienced those four years in his previous life and they left an indelible mark in his memory.

Shen Tang pretended he hadn't said anything, turned around and handed the medicine bag on the table to Chen Shan, "Thank you."

Chen Shan said hurriedly, "This is what my subordinates should do."

Chen Shan flashed away, and both he and the medicine bag disappeared from Shen Tang's sight, just like in his previous life.

In her previous life, she had been married to Xie Guimo for about half a year. She went to the Jokhang Temple with Princess Jingyang to burn incense. While she was wandering around, she was assassinated and it was Chen Shan who saved her.

She thanked Chen Shan, and Chen Shan said that he was ordered to protect her. Then he jumped up like he had just done and disappeared.

In her previous life, she had only met Chen Shan once, and because he saved her, she remembered him vividly. She thought he was protecting her on Xie Guimo's orders. After returning home, she thanked Xie Guimo, but Xie Guimo coldly said, "Do you think I would send someone to protect you?"

The two of them have never been able to get along.

She thought he meant that someone should keep an eye on her to prevent her from having an affair and cheating on him.

It turned out that she had misunderstood, and the person who saved her was not his.

Shen Tang sat back on the bed, feeling quite uncomfortable.

In her previous life, after she married Xie Guimo, the man never showed up in front of her again... Or maybe she had seen him before, but she just didn't know it.

She thought he was dead, but she didn't know that she still owed him the favor of saving her life.

Before, Shen Tang was afraid that the man would come again, but now he actually wanted to see him.

Half an hour later, there was another knock on the window. Shen Tang thought it was Chen Shan coming back to check the medicine bag, so she hurriedly got out of bed. However, just as she got out of bed, the window was pushed open, and she saw the silver mask again.

Seeing her get out of bed, the man said, "You haven't recovered at all, why are you getting out of bed?"

Shen Tang said, "I didn't know it was you..."

and many more.

How did he know that she was not ill at all?

Guessing that the secret guard had told him, Shen Tang asked, "Is there any problem with the medicine?"

The man's eyes darkened as he said, "Someone added a very cold medicine to the medicine you took, which has reduced most of its effectiveness."

She knew there was something wrong with the medicine!

She exposed Shen Xi's scheme, forcing her to soak in well water to make herself sick. She also praised Shen Xi in public and contradicted the Second Wife in public. How could the Second Wife and her daughter miss the opportunity to make her suffer?

It was also because she was careless that it took her three days to react.

Shen Tang was already dizzy, and this anger made him even more dizzy. The man saw this, and a hint of murderous intent emerged in his deep eyes.

Shen Tangyun clenched her fists under her sleeves. She looked up at the man and asked, "Can I ask your people to help me with something?"

The man was about to speak when there was a knock on the window and a voice came, "Master..."

The man walked towards the window. He didn't know what the visitor said. He turned around and said to Shen Tang, "If you have anything, just tell Chen Shan. If he can't do it, he will come to me."

He was about to jump out the window and leave, but Shen Tang said, "Wait."

The man looked at her.

Shen Tang took a few steps forward and said, "Thank you for sending someone to protect me."

Not only this life, but also the previous life.

Shen Tang said the last sentence in his heart.

The man's lips curled up slightly, "Just a thank you is not enough."

Indeed, a thank you is not enough.

Shen Tang asked, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

She agreed to anything she could do.

The man didn't say what he wanted, but whispered in her ear, "I'll come and ask for it when you recover from your typhoid fever."
