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

After reporting to the old lady, Qiu Tong returned to Qingyi Garden.

Inside the room, Shen Tang was drinking tea. Even under the mist of the tea, it could be seen that she was a little absent-minded. She didn't even hear what Ginkgo was saying to her.

Ginkgo called out twice before Shen Tang came back to his senses and looked at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong stepped forward and, before Shen Tang could ask, she said, "The old lady asked me to ask about the gift that the Second Madam had prepared for the young lady to take to the Jiang family. I told her the truth, and she was very angry. She punished the Second Madam by making her copy three hundred articles of the family rules."

There was nothing that couldn't be told to the old lady. What Shen Tang was worried about was, "What about the other things..."

Qiu Tong knelt down and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I know that serving two masters is the worst thing for a servant. Since the old lady has given me to you, you will be my only master from now on."

The second young lady is not a person without sense of propriety. Besides, the Marquis already knows about this matter, so there is no need for the old lady to worry about it.

Shen Tang didn't expect Qiu Tong to kneel down. He quickly put down the teacup and helped Qiu Tong up. "From now on, you, Ginkgo, and Mother Zhou will be the people I trust the most."

Buddhist temple.

The second wife sat there drinking tea.

The old lady punished her by making her kneel down in the Buddhist temple to reflect on her sins. The second wife did come, but she would not kneel, let alone reflect on her sins.

She had been in charge of household affairs for more than ten years, and no one in the inner and outer courtyards of the Marquis's Mansion dared to disrespect her and go to complain to the old lady.

Even though she knew that the old lady had sent Hongxiu, the second wife didn't intend to pretend.

The way he sipped the tea didn't seem like he was here to reflect, but rather to find some peace and quiet.

Hongxiu really didn't dare to be disrespectful to the Second Madam, and she stepped forward and saluted as if she didn't see anything. The Second Madam opened her eyelids and looked at Hongxiu, but her eyes fell on the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone held by the maid following behind Hongxiu.

The Second Wife frowned, "What is this...?"

Hongxiu said, "This is what the old lady ordered me to bring. She wants you to copy 300 articles of family rules in the Buddhist temple. You can return when you have finished copying them."

Almost instantly, the second wife's face turned pale.

After Hongxiu finished delivering the message, she bowed and took her leave. The maid put down her writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and followed her out.

As soon as the two of them left the house, the sound of teacups being smashed was heard, and the two maids left quickly without even looking back.

The Second Wife was so angry that her lips were trembling. The old lady asked her to come to the Buddhist temple to reflect on herself. She thought she could go back after staying there for two or three days at most and just live in a new place. But it turned out that it was not enough to punish her to come to the Buddhist temple. She was also asked to copy the family rules. There were three hundred articles of family rules, and it would take her five or six days to copy them even if she worked day and night!

The Jiang family failed to take good care of their child, and lost their Pingyuan Marquisate's heir, leaving the Marquis childless. Didn't the old lady hate the Jiang family the most? By being against the Jiang family, wasn't that exactly what the old lady wanted?!

The second wife's fingernails dug into her flesh, almost biting her back teeth loose.

She really underestimated the second girl!

He was so wary of her that he was worried about the supplements she prepared to bring to the Jiang family and would open them to check.

Do not!

Don’t just open it and read it, flip it through and read it!

Those supplements didn't look problematic at all, and even if one was worried and just opened them to take a look, they could still be passed off as such. The Jiang family felt uncomfortable with it, but they didn't dare let Shen Tang know.

But she never expected that Shen Tang would be on guard against her and even told the Marquis about it, forcing the old lady to punish her severely.

The second girl, who was as harmless as an animal before, had grown sharp claws at some point, causing their plans to fail time and time again!

The second wife regretted not getting rid of Shen Tang earlier, but it was not too late now.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the second wife's eyes.

……

Inside the house, Shen Tang was pruning branches when a maid came in and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lady wants you to go to her place."

Shen Xi came to see her because, needless to say, it was because the second wife was punished to copy the family rules in the Buddhist temple.

He was looking for her for the Second Wife, but instead of coming in person, he just sent a maid to deliver the message. What an arrogant person.

Click.

Shen Tang moved the copper scissors in his hand, and an extra branch was cut off.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the little maid called out again, "Second Miss?"

Shen Tang said indifferently, "Can't you see I'm busy? I'll go when I have time."

As for when he will be free, it is unknown.

The little maid also knew that Shen Tang and Shen Xi had been at odds recently. She had only come to pass on the message that the second young lady refused to see the eldest young lady, and she could not drag the second young lady away, so she had to bow and leave.

As the maidservant just left the house, there was a knock on the window. Shen Tang glanced over, and his eyes were dazzled by the light reflected from the mask on the man's face.

Seeing the man, Shen Tang's ears instantly turned red. It was fine if the man had come before, but now her father knew that he had sent someone to protect her. This was already outrageous. If her father knew that he had been breaking into her bedroom every few days...

Shen Tang didn't dare to think any further. Her whole body was burning with anger. She quickly got off the small couch, lowered her voice, and said through gritted teeth, "What are you doing here again?"

Every time he came, Shen Tang and his servant would be in chaos.

Ginkgo didn't dare to go out to guard the door all the time, so this time he just closed the door tightly and bolted it.

The man looked at Shen Tang and said, "I came here to talk to you about something."

Want to see her for something?

But she herself needs his rescue, so how can she help him?

But thinking that he had saved her more than once, maybe he could help, Shen Tang asked, "What do you want from me?"

The man coughed lightly and said, "I'm here to ask your father-in-law what he likes."

Shen Tang, "..."

Father-in-law?

The father-in-law he mentioned doesn't mean his father, right?

Shen Tang didn't dare to take it personally, "How would I know what your father-in-law likes?"

The man moved closer to Shen Tang and spoke word by word, "Marquis Pingyuan, your father, my future father-in-law."

There was no way he could play dumb now. Shen Tang's ears flushed red as he stamped his feet in anger, "Who is your father-in-law?!"

asshole!

Can this name be used casually?!

If my father heard this, he wouldn't think they had secretly decided on their marriage, or even...

Shen Tang glared at him and pushed him out, "Get out of here now, and don't come here again!"

But Shen Tang’s strength was limited, and the man didn’t cooperate, so she couldn’t push him at all. “I have to come. My father-in-law asked me to come and propose marriage tomorrow.”

Shen Tang, “……!!!”

Hearing this, Shen Tang suddenly looked up at the man, "You are lying to me, right?"

The man chuckled, "What do you think?"

Shen Tang was really about to cry. How could her father ask someone to come and propose marriage like this? It was not like she was unmarriageable.

No, she has no plans to get married.

The man said, "Since I'm coming to propose marriage, I can't come empty-handed. I have to please her..."

Before the man could finish, Shen Tang interrupted him hastily, "You are not allowed to come here to propose marriage!"

Looking at Shen Tang's eyes, which used to be clear but now filled with panic and anxiety, the man's smile froze.

He could tell that Shen Tang didn't say this out of shyness, she was really afraid that he would come to propose marriage.

The man was in a panic. He looked at Shen Tang and said, "If you don't let me come to propose marriage, who else do you want to marry?"
