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

On this day, the spring sun is bright and the warm breeze is blowing gently.

After being locked up in the room for six or seven days due to typhoid fever, Shen Tang could no longer stay in the room as soon as his body relaxed.

After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to pay his respects to the old lady.

The old lady hadn't seen Shen Tang for a few days. Seeing that Shen Tang looked much thinner but still energetic, she felt relieved and said with a kind look, "You've just recovered from the cold. Why don't you stay at home for a few more days? It won't cost you more to pay your respects to Grandmother in three or five days."

Shen Tang said sweetly, "I'm sorry to have worried grandma. I've been stuck in the house these days and I'm almost suffocating. I just want to go out for a walk."

After a pause, Shen Tang said, "I heard from Mother Wang that Grandma was feeling dizzy that day. Is she feeling better now?"

The old lady didn't expect that Shen Tang was still worried about her even though he was ill. Her expression became even more kind. "I've taken the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhao and I'm feeling much better now."

The Third Wife said, "Dr. Zhao is a highly skilled doctor. If it weren't for the medicine he prescribed, we don't know when Second Sister-in-law and the others would recover."

If the Second Wife hadn't told him, Shen Tang wouldn't have known that it was Doctor Zhao who cured Shen Xi and the others' diarrhea.

Shen Xian, the second wife and the second master suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. They saw several doctors but there was no improvement. The old lady had no choice but to ask someone to take Shen Sui's letter to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Zhao. However, Doctor Zhao did not come. He only asked someone to bring back a bottle of anti-diarrhea medicine. Shen Xian and the others stopped vomiting and diarrhea after taking it.

Shen Luo couldn't help but look at Shen Tang with curiosity, "I don't know who invited Doctor Zhao to our house. Does Second Sister know?"

...This matter couldn't be covered up after all.

Shen Tang blinked and said, "Didn't father invite them?"

If it was the Marquis who invited you, there would be no need to ask.

Shen Tang thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many people in Kyoto who care about me. I heard from the maid in the courtyard that after I fell into the water, the Jiang family asked her about my condition. Could it be that my grandfather hired someone for me?"

Indeed, in such a big city like Kyoto, the only people who care about Shen Tang are the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Jiang family. However, Shen Sui's invitation could not even get Imperial Physician Zhao to come. He only sent a bottle of anti-diarrhea medicine. Does the Jiang family have the nerve to invite Imperial Physician Zhao?

The old lady had her doubts in her heart, but she did not refute them. She believed that interpersonal relationships were not all about power and status. Perhaps the Jiang family had helped Doctor Zhao in some way.

Over the past decade or so, due to Shen Yan's disappearance, the Pingyuan Marquisate and the Jiang family had almost cut off contact. The Jiang family was worried about Shen Tang and Shen Xi, so they didn't dare to visit them and could only send servants to inquire. Thinking that Doctor Zhao might have been invited by the Jiang family, the old lady felt a little uncomfortable.

Shen Tang saw through it and took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, I want to go to the Jiang family again in a couple of days. My mother asked me to show my filial piety to her. I went there injured last time, and my grandmother wanted me to have lunch with her, but I hurried back. I feel really bad..."

Without the consent of the old lady and Shen Sui, Shen Tang could not leave the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Sui goes out early and comes back late, and Shen Tang rarely sees his father even when he catches a cold, let alone on normal days. He can only ask his grandmother for permission.

Shen Tang looked at the old lady eagerly, and the old lady didn't have the heart to refuse. She also knew that the Jiang family loved Shen Tang, but her grandson was gone because the Jiang family took him to the lantern festival. Jiang was too sad and passed away. The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion had no mistress since then. The old lady couldn't help but blame the Jiang family.

Jiang had been dead for more than ten years. She had appeared in a dream and asked Shen Tang to fulfill her filial duty on her behalf. The old lady was deeply moved and said, "Whenever you go, tell your second aunt in advance and ask her to prepare some supplements and bring them with you."

Shen Tang didn't expect that the old lady not only agreed to let her go, but also asked her to bring supplements. This was almost the first time in more than ten years, and she couldn't help but be happy.

Shen Tang, who originally planned to just pay his respects and leave, stayed a little longer and went to the flower hall to watch Shen Ran and Shen Luo embroidering.

Although it is called embroidery needlework, the needlework is really mediocre and cannot be praised.

After watching for a while, Shen Tang found it really boring, so he wanted to go for a walk in the garden and said goodbye to the old lady.

As soon as she left the flower hall, she saw the Second Madam coming in. The Third Madam said with a smile, "It's hard for Second Sister-in-law to be so busy trying to get the eldest young master of the Wang family to marry the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, even though she's just recovered a little. This is the fourth time, right? And the Yongning Marquis' Mansion still refuses to give in?"

The Second Wife said, "The Yongning Marquis's Mansion has approved the marriage."

The Third Wife said, "Then we must congratulate the Wang family."

Considering the character and reputation of the eldest son of the Wang family, it was a great honor for him to marry the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion. Otherwise, considering the second wife's temper, it would be impossible for her to come to the house again and again.

The Second Wife sat down and said to the Old Lady, "Although the Yongning Marquisate finally agreed to marry their daughter, they are not satisfied with this match. Marrying my nephew has indeed wronged Miss Li. She didn't mean to bump into the Second Miss, but she was dragged into it by the Second Miss. It is reasonable for our Marquisate to make some compensation."

The word "compensation" made the old lady frown.

Shen Tang was furious. She walked over and demanded, "Why should our mansion compensate Miss Li? She bumped into me, and I dragged her into the water in desperation. I went to celebrate Princess Roujia's birthday, and she was treated like this for nothing. I didn't hold her accountable because of Second Aunt. I thought that Miss Li would marry the eldest young master of the Wang family, and we would be related in the future, so it would be hard to tear each other apart. May I ask, Second Aunt, what exactly did I do to offend Miss Li that I need to compensate her?"

Shen Tang knew where the word "compensation" came from. The Second Madam wanted Shen Xian to push her into the water so that Young Master Wang could save her. Shen Xian was probably afraid of being punished by the Old Madam, and since Miss Li happened to dislike her, she simply used Miss Li's hand to do this.

But no one expected that she would drag Miss Li into the water, and that she would be able to swim well. In the end, it was not her but Miss Li who fell into their trap.

The sisters in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion were fighting, and Miss Li was dragged into it, risking her life. How could the wife of the Yongning Earl and the Yongning Earl agree to this?

There is no way not to marry off her daughter, so she can only ask for more compensation from her daughter. She can't suffer this loss in vain. The second wife dare not let the wife of the Earl of Yongning come to visit. Even if the old lady loves Shen Xi very much, she will never let her off easily if she knows that Shen Xi is plotting against her.

Without telling the real reason for the compensation, you want the Marquis' Mansion to pay for it?

No way!

The Second Madam hadn't expected Shen Tang to be in Songhe Hall, and to react so violently. Her eyes were icy as she asked, "Miss Li didn't mean to push you into this. Doesn't the Second Madam have any sympathy at all?"

Is there anything more ridiculous than saying that someone who has done such evil things has no sympathy?

Shen Tang sneered inwardly and asked the Second Madam, "Did Second Aunt offer to give this compensation, or did the Yongning Earl's Mansion ask for it?"

With just one sentence, the second wife was rendered speechless.

It cannot be said that she offered to give it voluntarily. No one is so stupid. It is obvious that the Second Wife wants to take this opportunity to support her own family. The Old Lady will never allow the Second Wife to dig into the Marquis' Mansion to support her own family.

If the Yongning Marquis' Mansion wanted it, then the Marquis' Mansion would be even less likely to give it. They knocked the second daughter of the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion into the water and caused her to catch a cold, and they still want compensation. If they really gave it, the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion would have no place to stay in Kyoto.
