The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death
Chapter 44 Proposal
Almost instantly, Shen Tang's face turned red.
It was her negligence. She expected that when she came to borrow money with red eyes and aggrieved face, her father would definitely investigate whether she had been wronged. However, she did not expect that it was the secret guards sent by her father. She knew that someone was secretly protecting her.
Everything has been discovered. The more she hides it from her father, the more suspicious he will become. But she doesn't know who that person is.
Shen Tang could only mumble, "Father, have you heard about the incident a few days ago when the Marquis of Changping was thrown down the hillside at the Jokhang Temple?"
Shen Sui frowned slightly and asked the man why he suddenly started talking about the Prince of Changping.
Shen Sui looked at Shen Tang, and Shen Tang said, "The prince of Changping Marquis tried to molest my daughter at the Jokhang Temple. Fortunately, my daughter was lucky enough to be rescued. The man who rescued me had saved my daughter once before at the Lantern Festival half a year ago. He felt that my daughter was too vulnerable to harm, so he sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to protect her..."
Shen Tang's voice became lower and lower, and Shen Sui's face turned pale. "Why didn't you tell me about these things?"
His daughter got into trouble twice and was bullied. Everyone knew about it, but he, as a father, knew nothing about it.
Qiu Tong was in the study, and when she heard this, her eyes opened wider than bells.
Shen Tang said, "Father is usually busy, and since I have nothing to do, I didn't tell him."
Shen Sui said, "He saved you twice and wants to marry you, why doesn't he just come and propose marriage?"
Shen Tang, “…???”
He did say he wanted to marry her, but how did his father know?
Ahhhhh!
Shen Tang's face was so hot that he could fry an egg.
Shen Tang was shy and didn't know how to answer the question. She just ran away with a red face.
Shen Sui didn't expect Shen Tang to react like this, but he didn't object. He had saved his daughter twice. No matter what the other party's family background was, as long as they were in love, he would agree to the marriage.
Forget it, my daughter is shy, so I won’t make things difficult for her.
When I went out, the wind blew and the temperature on my face rose rapidly.
Shen Tang didn't dare to leave the hospital directly. He waited for a while, and only went out after his face was no longer so red.
Originally, Shen Tang wanted to go to Songhetang after returning home, but now she couldn't do that. She wanted to go back and ask Chen Shan how she was discovered by her father.
After returning to the inner courtyard, Shen Tang headed towards Qingyi Garden. However, halfway through, a maid came over and said, "Second Miss, the old lady asked Qiu Tong to go to her place..."
Shen Tang looked at Qiu Tong and said, "You go see Grandmother. I feel a little dizzy, so I won't go with you. I'll go and pay my respects to her tomorrow."
Shen Tang ran away as if escaping.
After returning to Qingyi Garden, Shen Tang walked into the house and went straight to the window, but she looked out the window for a long time, even shouting, but there was no sign of Chen Shan.
At this moment, Chen Shan was climbing over the wall to enter the Jingyang Palace.
Chenxiang Pavilion.
Xie Guimo was reading a military book.
Chen Shan went in and said, "Master, I've been discovered..."
Xie Guimo flipped the page casually, "Who discovered it?"
"Marquis Pingyuan."
Xie Guimo, "..."
Chen Qi brought in tea and exclaimed, "How could we be discovered by Pingyuan Hou?"
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Shan, and Chen Shan silently told him everything about how he was discovered.
He was ordered to protect Miss Shen Er. Wherever Miss Shen Er went, he would follow. He didn't expect that Shen Sui would send people to follow Shen Tang. When he discovered Shen Sui's people, Shen Sui's people also discovered him.
Chen Qi said, "Didn't I ask who you belong to?"
How could I not ask?
The person he was secretly following was the daughter of Pingyuan Hou. Which father would be willing to let someone of unknown origin follow his daughter?
Chen Qi asked, "How did you answer?"
Chen Shan glanced at Xie Guimo before saying, "I didn't dare to say I was your master..."
Stopping mid-sentence, Chen Qi pressed on, "How on earth did you manage to get away with it?"
Chen Shan said weakly, "I will tell Pingyuan Hou's people that I dare not reveal my identity without his permission, but he will definitely come to ask for Miss Shen's hand in marriage..."
This is not wrong.
Xie Guimo asked, "And then?"
Chen Shan was silent for a moment, then said, "Just now, I escorted Miss Shen Er back to the Pingyuan Marquis's residence. The Pingyuan Marquis summoned Miss Shen Er to his study to question her. I don't know what they said, but after Miss Shen Er came out, the Pingyuan Marquis's men told me to pass on a message to you, asking you to come and propose marriage tomorrow..."
Xie Guimo, "..."
Chen Qi said, "I just canceled the marriage proposal for the eldest daughter of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. If I go to ask for the hand of the second daughter Shen tomorrow, won't I be beaten out?"
As soon as he said this, he felt an unhappy gaze looking at him. Chen Qi reacted and quickly shut his mouth.
Can he just say that even though what he said was unpleasant, it was the truth?
Not to mention that Marquis Pingyuan would not agree, even Miss Shen Er herself would not agree.
Originally, saving Miss Shen Er when she fell into the water was the best chance for me. Who would have thought that Miss Shen Er, a lady from a wealthy family, would actually swim? Chen Qi felt sorry for his own master. The master had never fallen into the hands of others, but he had fallen into the hands of Miss Shen Er twice.
Xie Guimo raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache he had never had before.
"What will happen if I don't propose marriage tomorrow?"
No one dared to answer the call.
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Qi and Chen Shan.
"say."
The one who doesn't let you speak is the boss, and the one who lets you speak is still the boss.
Chen Qi said stiffly, "If you don't go when I'm asked to come and propose marriage, I'm afraid that next time I want to go, the Marquis of Pingyuan may not let me go."
The daughter hasn't been married yet, so the future father-in-law's words would be more effective than an imperial edict.
You can't go, and you can't not go.
Chen Qi was worried about his own prince.
Xie Guimo rubbed his eyebrows for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then he stood up.
Inside the house, Shen Tang stood by the window for a long time, and only turned around and sat down after making sure that Chen Shan was not there.
Ginkgo poured tea for Shen Tang and told her about her trip to Prince Duan's mansion to deliver a prescription to Princess Roujia. "Princess Roujia was very happy and asked me to thank the young lady on her behalf. She also rewarded me with a few silver melon seeds."
Shen Tang asked Ginkgo to deliver the prescription in order to take Qiu Tong to the Jiang family. Everything happened as she expected. The old lady punished the second wife and called Qiu Tong for questioning.
In the inner room, the old lady was kneeling on the ground chanting scriptures and praying. Qiu Tong did not dare to go forward to disturb her. She waited until Mother Wang helped the old lady up before Qiu Tong went forward.
The old lady asked, "What's the matter with the tonic?"
Shen Sui brought the supplements to the old lady, but didn't say much. He only said, "Mother asked someone to prepare such supplements and let Tang'er take them to the Jiang family. Where do you want to put your son?"
Shen Sui knew that it was the Second Madam who made the arrangement based on her own assumptions about the Old Madam's intentions, but since he was the eldest uncle, it was not easy for him to deal with the Second Madam directly without going through the Old Madam and the Second Master, so he could only leave the matter to the Old Madam.
Shen Sui said this with an angry look on his face and left.
When the old lady unpacked the things, she realized how poor the supplements that the second wife had prepared for the Jiang family were. This was the second time that the second wife had caused the old lady to be scolded by Shen Sui. Since she didn't learn her lesson from the last scolding, the old lady was so angry that she punished the second wife by making her kneel in the Buddhist temple.
But the old lady didn't know what exactly happened. She was afraid that Shen Sui would misunderstand her as scolding Shen Tang for filing a complaint. Knowing that it was Qiu Tong who left the house with Shen Tang today, she went directly to Qiu Tong to question her.
Qiu Tong replied, "The Second Miss took me to the Jiang family. Perhaps because she was worried, she asked me to open the supplements prepared by the Second Madam and take a look. She was so angry that she turned around and returned home, ready to complain to you, the old lady.
I was afraid that you, the old lady, would be angry and not allow her to go to the Jiang family, so I went to the Marquis to borrow a hundred taels and went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy these supplements again. The second lady had prepared these supplements for me, but she angrily threw them to the beggar woman outside the Treasure Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the Marquis saw that the second lady was in a low mood and sent someone to check on her, and they picked up these supplements again..."
The old lady frowned, "Didn't the second young lady complain to the Marquis?"
It was normal for Shen Tang to complain about the tricks the Second Wife played behind her back, but the old lady was surprised that Shen Tang did not do so.
Qiu Tong shook her head. "No, the Marquis wanted to give the Second Young Lady a thousand taels, but she refused. She only said at the Jiang family that these supplements were given to her by you, the Old Madam."
The old lady didn't expect that Shen Tang had such patience at such a young age. Compared with Shen Tang, what the second wife did was too shameful.
"Go to the Buddhist temple and tell the Second Madam to copy three hundred articles of family rules, not one less."
