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

All the bruises on her body were treated with medicine. Si'er brought the boiled medicine and Shen Tang drank it. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and fell asleep in a short while.

However, I didn't sleep well. Firstly, I was frightened, and secondly, the place where I was hurt was painful when touched. I turned over several times in my sleep and woke up in pain. To make matters worse, my period came at this time.

Shen Tang felt a cramp-like pain in her lower abdomen. Ginkgo thought someone had tampered with her medicine again. Shen Tang said, "My period..."

Ginkgo exclaimed, "Ah!" "The girl's period is always on time. It will take three or four days for it to come."

However, Ginkgo also knew that it didn't matter if his period came early or was delayed for a few days, especially since his daughter had been injured and sick recently, so it was normal for her period to come a few days early.

Shen Tang went behind the screen to change clothes, then returned to lie down on the small couch. Si'er brought a hand warmer to Shen Tang and said, "It's rumored outside that Prince Jingyang saved the girl to repay her for not marrying..."

Shen Tang took the hand warmer and warmed his stomach. Ginkgo asked, "Who spread such rumors?"

Si'er said, "It's not a rumor, it was said by Prince Jingyang himself."

Shen Tang was stunned. "How could Prince Jingyang say such a thing?"

Before she could finish her words, there was a knock on the window.

Ginkgo and Qiutong were already used to it, but Si'er was startled and turned to look at the window.

Seeing the window pushed open and a masked man jumped in, Si'er was so scared that he wanted to scream, but Qiu Tong quickly covered his mouth.

Qiu Tong pulled Si'er out and guarded the door at the same time.

Seeing the man approaching, Shen Tang's ears turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "You scared my maid!"

Although Si'er is her man, what if it wasn't Si'er who was in the room today? If that got out, her reputation would be ruined.

The man said, "You'll get used to it."

What he said was infuriating, and he even sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "How do you know he won't say that?"

Shen Tang, “…???”

Shen Tang didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who? What did you say?"

The man looked into Shen Tang's eyes and said, "Prince Jingyang saved you to repay your kindness of not marrying me..."

Why does she know?

After all, we have lived under the same roof for three years, how could I not know the other person's personality at all?

She refused to get on the bridal sedan, and it was kind of Xie Guimo not to get angry with her. How could he even repay her for not marrying him?

But today she really didn't expect that the person who saved her and Shen Luo was Xie Guimo.

For saving his life, his father would definitely prepare a generous gift and come to thank him. Shen Tang didn't even dare to imagine how embarrassed his father would be when he came...

but--

Shen Tang said, "He does owe me a favor for not marrying me."

man,"……"

The man laughed.

He said this to shut those people up and to find a plausible excuse for his suspicious act of saving people, and she actually said the same thing.

Sooner or later, he will be angered to death by this woman.

He wanted to hear why she was so confident.

The man looked at Shen Tang with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Reason."

Do I still need to ask?

Shen Tang chuckled and asked, "Are you willing to let a girl you don't like occupy your position as your wife?"

"...unwilling."

That's it. Shen Tang was about to speak when the man laughed and said, "Are you so sure that Prince Jingyang doesn't like you?"

When Shen Xian died in her previous life, she said that Xie Guimo liked her, but Shen Tang didn't dare to believe it, let alone now.

Moreover, the question asked by Shen Tang made him wonder if the man had left in such a hurry that he forgot to take his brain with him. Shen Tang said, "Prince Jingyang likes me and wants to marry my elder sister. Is there anyone so stupid as to do that?"

man,"……"

"Besides, I know myself well. I'm not a banknote. Everyone likes me."

The man didn't know whether he should be happy that Shen Tang had self-awareness or angry.

Shen Tang didn't want to talk about Prince Jingyang anymore, so she changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about...?"

The man said, "You scared a horse in the street. I came to bring you medicine."

As he spoke, he had a bottle of ointment in his hand. Shen Tang could tell at a glance that it was tribute medicine. Who on earth was this man? He was offering tribute ointment and even asked the emperor to help him pass on his message.

Shen Tang didn't like to speculate. She was about to ask, but her stomach suddenly started to ache. The pain made her forehead tremble. She pressed her stomach hard, and as a result, she pulled her arms too hard, and the bruises on her back also hurt.

She deserved the consequences for forgetting to take her medicine due to her negligence.

Shen Tang hadn't felt such pain in a long time. The pain made her cry. Seeing that she looked like she couldn't bear the pain, the man said, "Why is it so painful? I'll call the imperial physician for you."

He was about to stand up when Shen Tang stopped him, "I'm fine..."

The man didn't believe it, "You're in so much pain, and you're still okay?"

Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm really fine."

Beneath the mask, the man's brows knitted together. "I'm still worried. I'll ask Doctor Zhao to come again."

I've already told him everything is fine, but why doesn't this guy believe it? Shen Tang couldn't stop him and said anxiously, "I'm really fine, I just had my period..."

When Shen Tang realized what he had said, he wanted to bite his tongue. Not to mention his face, his whole body was on fire.

As a lady from a wealthy family, it was inappropriate for her to have a man repeatedly break into her bedroom. She even let him know that she had her period, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

Shen Tang prayed in his heart that the man didn't understand, but unfortunately, the prayer was useless. The man was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but his ears and neck were red, which showed that he knew.

The man regretted that he knew too much. He didn't expect that Shen Tang would rather remain a widow than get into the bridal sedan chair at the Jingyang Palace. In order to have a good wedding night, he flipped through the picture album prepared for him by the palace several times. The instructions on it were very clear, and he couldn't pretend not to understand.

An awkward atmosphere filled the room.

The man coughed lightly and said, "Have a good rest. I'll come back to see you."

He stood up and was about to leave, but Shen Tang said, "Wait."

The man turned around and asked, "Don't you want me to leave?"

What did this person say?!

Shen Tang's face became even hotter.

He shouldn't have come. Not to mention that they haven't gotten engaged yet, he shouldn't have come even if they were engaged.

Shen Tang didn't bother to be polite with him and said, "Help me find out what happened to the frightened horse..."

She didn't believe that the frightened horse was just an accident.

The man said, "I asked someone to check. The horse went crazy because it was fed drugs."

really!

Shen Tang's eyes turned cold.

She never holds grudges against anyone, so the only people who could be so cruel to her could be the Second Wife and Shen Xi.

Shen Tang couldn't swallow the new and old grudges and she didn't want to find a way to get rid of this anger.

Shen Tang looked at the man and asked, "Can you do me another favor?"

The man smiled and said, "How can I help you?"

"Don't let my second uncle take the position of Minister of Revenue."

The man thought it was a little strange that Shen Tang asked him for help. He hadn't heard of any problems in the Ministry of Revenue recently, so the position of Assistant Minister was not vacant, and the Second Master had no chance to compete for it.

Shen Tang had a severe stomachache, so the man didn't ask any more questions.

After climbing over the wall and leaving the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, on the way back to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, he thought that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was not far away, so he took a detour.

When he passed by the residence of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he happened to see the steward escorting the imperial physician out of the house.

Xie Guimo glanced at Chen Qi.

After walking a little further, Chen Qi caught up and said, "Master, the old lady of the Right Vice Minister's Mansion suddenly fell ill last night. She saw several doctors and they all said she won't live for many days..."

Hearing this, Xie Guimo tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

He turned his horse's head and looked in the direction of the Right Vice Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue.

His eyes were dark and unpredictable.

“There really is a vacancy…”
