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

Shen Tang was not surprised at all that Concubine Ye was looking for the second wife.

There is no mistress in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and all matters such as interpersonal relationships are under the control of the second wife. At this time in the previous life, Concubine Ye sent someone to call the second wife into the palace.

Concubine Ye was not only the cousin of Prince Jingyang Xie Guimo, but Xie Guimo was seriously injured and died while saving her son, the Second Prince. A wedding was needed to bring good luck. Concubine Ye was very concerned about the wedding, so much so that even when the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion was almost in a mess, she still called the Second Wife into the palace for questioning.

When she learned that she was worried that the wedding ceremony would not work and that the Prince of Jingyang would not be able to save her elder sister and that she would become a widow after getting married, and that this was why she drugged her elder sister, Concubine Ye was furious and directly replaced the person who was to perform the wedding ceremony with her without even consulting the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion.

Although she and Shen Xian look nothing alike, they are both daughters of Pingyuan Hou Shen Sui, and even their birth time is the same. If she were to marry in his place, no one would worry that she and the Prince of Jingyang would be incompatible.

In her previous life, she believed Doukou's instigation, and Concubine Ye asked her to marry in her place, and Shen Tang had nothing to say. In this life, before the Second Wife entered the palace, her charges had been cleared, and Shen Xi was not in a coma, so there was no reason to replace her with someone else.

Although Shen Tang had decided to carry the bridal sedan back empty from Prince Jingyang's mansion, he felt relieved when he thought of Shen Ying's fear of becoming a widow after getting married and the Second Wife's gnashing of teeth when her plan failed.

There was a faint sobbing sound behind him. Shen Tang turned around and saw Yin Xing wiping her tears. Shen Tang said, "Why are you crying for no reason? Are you reluctant to leave Doukou?"

Ginkgo said bitterly, "Doukou is turning her elbows outward and helping the eldest lady push the young lady into the fire pit. I will not be reluctant to part with her."

Shen Tang laughed, "Then why are you crying?"

Ginkgo choked up and said, "I feel sorry for the young lady. She was so good to the eldest lady, giving her all the good things. But the eldest lady pushed me into the fire for her own sake..."

It turned out that he was standing up for her.

Shen Tang felt a lump in her throat. Shen Ying drugged her and framed her, but she exposed the truth on the spot. The old lady didn't scold Shen Ying at all, but Ginkgo, a maid, cried for the grievance she suffered. How could Shen Tang not be moved?

Shen Tang helped Ginkgo wipe away her tears and said, "I won't be nice to her anymore, and I will take back everything I gave her."

This was what Shen Tang was thinking, but Yin Xing didn't believe it at all. "The girl is not that kind of person."

Not to mention getting back the things she gave away, the girl would be thankful if she could be taken advantage of less by older girls in the future.

Ginkgo had the word "disbelief" carved on her face. Shen Tang didn't say much. She would soon let Ginkgo know that she could do what she said.

The two returned to Qingyi Garden.

Shen Tang was woken up before he had a good sleep. He turned around and felt even more dizzy. After lunch, he fell asleep again.

Seeing Shen Tang looking tired, Ginkgo felt very guilty. The girl asked her not to wake her up. When she heard that the eldest girl vomited blood and fainted, she became extremely anxious and hurriedly woke the girl up. As a result, the eldest girl actually plotted against the girl in such a way.

After tucking the quilt into Shen Tang's bed, Ginkgo said, "Go to sleep peacefully, young lady. Even if the sky falls, I will not wake you up this time."

Ginkgo swore solemnly, but in the end the sky did not fall, and Shen Tang was awakened by her.

Poor Shen Tang was sleeping soundly when Yin Xing started shaking her impatiently, her voice almost crying, "Girl, wake up quickly, something terrible has happened!"

The pain at the back of Shen Tang's head made her want to die. "What happened?"

Ginkgo said, "Noble Concubine Ye asked you to bring good luck to the Prince of Jingyang!"

Shen Tang suddenly sat up with a start. She felt dizzy and her vision went black for a while. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Why do you want me to marry in your place?"

In her anger, she didn't even notice the word "still" she said. However, neither the person who said it nor the person who heard it noticed. Ginkgo said, "I don't know either. This is how the maid passed on the message."

The maid wouldn't dare spread such a big thing out of thin air.

Shen Tang was almost going crazy.

In her previous life, she was allowed to marry in place of him, but in this life, where did Concubine Ye get any reason to ask her to marry?!

Shen Tang's intuition told him that this was the work of the second wife.

Shen Tang suppressed his anger, threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Without even bothering to tidy up his messy hair, he hurried to Songhe Hall where the old lady lived.

Shen Tang walked quickly. From a distance, she saw a familiar and steady figure.

It’s my father Shen Sui.

Although Shen Xi and Shen Tang are both Shen Sui's daughters, they have to exchange brides for each other the day before their wedding, and Shen Sui cannot help but ask about it.

As Shen Tang stepped into the house, he heard his father's voice, full of dissatisfaction, "The one who was engaged to the Prince of Jingyang was Xian'er, why did Tang'er suddenly get married to him?"

He was asking about the second wife.

The Second Wife was a bit restless in her chair and said, "Noble Concubine Ye sent someone to summon me to the palace. At that time, there was an incident in Qinglan Garden. The news spread to the outer courtyard and was heard by the messenger from the palace. Noble Concubine Ye heard that the Second Miss was afraid that the eldest Miss would be a widow, so she drugged her to prevent her from getting married. She was very angry and asked me if this was true. I really didn't know how to answer. I thought that the eldest Miss was fine and it wouldn't affect her wedding tomorrow. The Second Miss felt sorry for her elder sister for doing this, which was better than the eldest Miss drugging herself."

"For the sake of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and the eldest daughter, I didn't explain for the second daughter. But I didn't expect Concubine Ye to be so angry. At that time, she used the fortune-telling that the eldest daughter drew at the Jokhang Temple as an excuse to change the marriage to the second daughter to bring good luck..."

She knew it was the Second Wife's doing!

He really put a lot of effort into it for his daughter.

Everything that happened in Qinglan Garden reached the ears of Concubine Ye, not to mention Shen Sui. He never expected that his eldest daughter would do such a thing as pushing her own sister into the fire pit. Shen Ying plotted against Shen Tang first, and even wanted Shen Tang to bear the false charges to bring her happiness. If a father turned a blind eye to it, he would not be worthy of being a father.

Shen Sui said coldly, "I don't agree to change Tang'er to the bride. Tomorrow it will still be Xian'er who will get married."

The old lady frowned but said nothing.

Although she loves Shen Xian more, Shen Xian is in the wrong in this matter, so she can't be too partial.

The Second Wife couldn't sit still anymore and blurted out, "I have already promised Concubine Ye..."

Shen Sui's face darkened. "It's not up to Concubine Ye to decide which daughter of our Pingyuan Marquisate will marry!"

The Second Wife said, "When Concubine Ye wanted to change her husband, the Emperor went there and he also knew about it. If the person riding in the bridal sedan tomorrow is not the Second Miss, then our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is deceiving the Emperor."

Concubine Ye’s pressure was not enough, and she actually carried the emperor out.

Shen Sui said, "I will apologize to the emperor myself."

"Father!"

Two voices came out almost at the same time.

Shen Tang's voice was choked with sobs. She knew that her father was not just saying this, he really didn't want her to get married.

Shen Tang walked over, and Shen Sui said, "Don't worry, father won't let you suffer any injustice."

Shen Tang shook her head lightly and said tearfully, "Just now, while taking a nap, my daughter dreamed of her mother. She said that my father came to see her early this morning and brought her favorite crabapple cake. Is that true?"

Shen Sui was stunned.

No one else knew that he went to worship Jiang today except him.

The corners of Shen Sui's eyes flushed red. "Did your mother say anything else?"

Shen Tang said, "Mother asked her daughter to share father's worries."

"Father, please let your daughter make the decision on the matter of congratulating the Prince of Jingyang."
