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

In the study, Shen Sui was writing a memorial.

The servant's voice came from outside the door, "My Lord, the second young lady is here."

Why is Tang'er here?

"Let her in."

The servant pushed the door open and Shen Tang walked in.

Shen Sui put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and looked up to see that the corners of Shen Tang's eyes were red, and he looked like he was trying hard not to cry. Shen Sui saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tang shook her head. "My daughter is fine. It's just that she's short on money lately. I'd like to borrow a hundred taels from you, father..."

By the end, his voice was filled with tears.

Shen Tang has never asked Shen Sui for money. This is the first time in two lives.

Shen Sui was stunned.

He never thought that his daughter would be short of money.

Just one hundred taels made his daughter suffer like this?

Asking his father for some money, saying it was a loan...

Shen Sui suddenly felt guilty, opened the drawer, and took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and gave it to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang shook his head, "One hundred taels is enough for my daughter."

Shen Sui said, "This is what your father gave you. If you run out of money in the future, just tell your father."

Shen Tang still shook his head. "Father has more than one daughter. He gave it to me and not to my eldest sister. It means that he is partial to me. Grandmother and the others would not allow him to indulge his daughter."

"My daughter only wants to borrow one hundred taels."

Aggrieved and stubborn.

Shen Sui had no choice but to exchange the one thousand taels for one hundred taels. Shen Tang took it, bowed, and left.

But Shen Tang looked so grievance-filled and forced that Shen Sui frowned. He didn't ask. As a father, he knew his daughter's personality. If he wanted to tell her, he would have told her long ago. If she refused to tell him, he couldn't get the answer from her.

When Shen Tang left, there was a man in the study. Shen Sui ordered, "Let's go and take a look."

Shen Tang got the hundred taels, wiped his tears as he came out of the study, and continued to leave the house with Qiu Tong.

The carriage was still waiting at the gate. When Shen Tang entered the carriage, he saw those humiliating gift boxes and his face turned extremely ugly. Qiu Tong quickly restored the gift boxes to their original state and placed them at his feet to prevent Shen Tang from getting angry when he saw them.

After Shen Tang sat down, he told the carriage driver, "Go to the Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Treasure Pavilion is a place in Kyoto that sells all kinds of health supplements. When Shen Tang walked in, the waiter came up to her attentively and asked, "What would you like to buy, young lady? The supplements in our Treasure Pavilion are the best in Kyoto."

Shen Tang reported according to the gift list prepared by the Second Madam, "Four qian of Cordyceps sinensis, two liang of bird's nest, one piece of top-grade Ganoderma lucidum, and one liang of deer antler."

"Give me the best."

The young man responded quickly, then gave Shen Tang the things she wanted for her to look at, and then packed them up.

The total cost was ninety-five taels and seven cents, and after rounding off, only ninety-five taels were received.

Qiu Tong carried the gift box and followed Shen Tang out of the Treasure Pavilion, then helped Shen Tang get on the carriage.

After Shen Tang got on the carriage, she took out the supplements that the second wife had prepared for her to take to the Jiang family and threw them to the beggar outside the Treasure Pavilion.

Qiu Tong, "..."

Although the second wife went too far, these supplements are not completely worthless.

And this is evidence. If it is just thrown away like that, won’t the second girl go back and complain to the old lady?

Qiu Tong had developed a habit in Songhe Hall, never interrogating her master when he was doing something. When Qiu Tong wanted to pick it up, Shen Tang scolded her, "Don't pick it up!"

Qiu Tong's hand was almost touching the gift box, so she had to pull it back and silently followed the carriage.

The gift box was thrown in front of the old woman, who picked it up and was about to open it when Shen Sui's men appeared, threw a tael of silver into the broken bowl in front of the old woman, and then took the gift box away.

The man returned to the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, climbed over the wall, and entered the study carrying the gift box.

In the study, Manager Li was reporting something to Shen Sui. Seeing the man go in, Shen Sui became more concerned about Shen Tang and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

The man said, "The second young lady borrowed 100 taels from the Marquis. After leaving the mansion, she went to the Treasure Pavilion and spent 95 taels to buy a few new supplements. Then she threw away the ones the Marquis had prepared for her..."

Shen Sui's eyes fell on the gift box, "Open it."

The man opened the gift boxes one by one and showed them to Shen Sui.

Seeing almost the same thing, Shen Sui's expression turned a little uglier, and his eyes were filled with anger at the end.

Shen Sui glanced at Manager Li and asked, "Whose house are these supplements taken to?"

Manager Li quickly replied, "The second young lady is going to the Jiang family..."

Swish.

Shen Sui's already ugly face suddenly became even uglier.

Shen Sui stood up angrily, and the man said, "I have something else to report to the Marquis..."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li quickly packed up the gifts and took them out.

Shen Sui suppressed his anger and asked, "What else?"

The man said, "Someone is following the second girl in secret..."

Shen Sui's brows tightened, "Follow Tang'er?"

The man nodded. "The other party's martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. He probably has no ill intentions towards the second young lady. I found him, but he didn't leave. He said he was ordered to protect the second young lady. He followed him from the Marquis' Mansion to the Treasure Pavilion and then to the Jiang family."

Ordered to protect his daughter?

Shen Sui frowned, "Whose orders are you following?"

……

Besides, after Shen Tang threw the things away, he sat in the carriage angrily. Qiu Tong carefully advised, "Miss, don't get angry and hurt yourself..."

Shen Tang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "There's nothing to be angry about."

How could I not be angry? The Second Wife has been going more and more out of line lately.

When they were almost at Jiang's house, Shen Tang took out the bronze mirror and looked at herself to make sure that no one would notice that she was crying in anger before getting off the carriage.

The last time Shen Tang came to the Jiang family, everyone in the family was shocked. This time it was even worse. Although Shen Tang said that she would come again when she left last time, no one in the Jiang family took it seriously. They didn't expect that the cousin would really come again!

The gatekeeper quickly sent someone to report to Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang, and then diligently helped to move the footstool, with a smile on his face that was so bright that it could make flowers bloom.

Shen Tang brought Qiu Tong into the Jiang family and went straight to Cuibaiyuan where Old Madam Jiang lived.

Halfway through the walk, they saw the two sisters Jiang Li and Jiang Ning jogging over. Jiang Ning said with surprise, "Cousin said she would come to the Jiang family often in the future. Is it true?"

Shen Tang smiled and said, "I knew that no matter what I said, you wouldn't believe me. Now you should finally believe me, right?"

Jiang Ning and Jiang Li nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ning said, "Then can we go to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion to see you in the future? You fell into the water and caught typhoid fever, and we didn't dare to go even though we wanted to."

It would be fine if we couldn’t go normally, but Shen Tang couldn’t go because she was sick. Are we still cousins?

Shen Tang said with emotion, "From now on, if you want to find me, just go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Ning nodded happily.

Shen Tang walked forward with them, talking and laughing, and Qiu Tong followed behind.

There was no servant in the mansion who didn't know about the affairs between the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Jiang family, and Qiu Tong naturally knew about it too.

The cousins ​​were obviously very close, but they had little contact with each other. I wonder if the missing prince will ever be found...
