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

After the man left, Ginkgo couldn't help but say with red eyes, "The girl frightened the horse. It must be the Second Madam and the eldest daughter who did it to her. We must tell the Marquis."

Shen Tang's eyes flashed coldly, "Without evidence, my father won't believe it."

If my father had had more faith, my mother would not have been so depressed and died with hatred in her heart.

Ginkgo asked, "Is that the end of it?"

Forget it?

That is impossible.

She would let Shen Xi and the second wife also experience what it felt like to be frightened by a horse!

Shen Tang leaned against the large welcoming pillow. Qiu Tong pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Miss, the Marquis is here."

Shen Tang sat up straighter, and soon Shen Sui came in. Shen Tang said weakly, "Father..."

Shen Sui also went to Prince Su's mansion to celebrate his birthday today. However, after the birthday banquet, Shen Sui did not return home, but went directly to the military camp. He only returned to the mansion after receiving the news that Shen Tang had frightened his horse on the street.

Shen Sui asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Shen Tang shook his head. "It's just some superficial injuries. They will heal in a few days."

After a pause, Shen Tang said, "Did father ask someone to investigate the reason why Ma went crazy?"

If Shen Sui was told directly that it was the Second Madam and Shen Xi who were plotting against her, Shen Sui would not believe it. However, if he found out the truth bit by bit, he would have no choice but to believe it.

Shen Sui said, "We've already found out. Someone drugged him."

Ginkgo couldn't help but say, "My Lord, you must find out who is harming the girl..."

Ginkgo didn't need to remind Shen Sui of this. He knew that someone was harming Shen Tang, so why wouldn't he investigate further? However, investigating is one thing, but whether it can be traced back to the second wife is another.

Shen Sui comforted Shen Tang and said, "Father will investigate this matter. Until the matter is fully investigated, it's best not to leave the house."

The people who want to harm her are from the Marquis' Mansion. Can she hide from them by not going out?

From what Shen Sui said, Shen Tang knew that he did not suspect it was the second wife.

Does my father trust my second uncle so much?

Even if Shen Tang suspected that he was killed by the Second Wife and Shen Xi, his father would not believe the Second Wife's evil ambitions.

Shen Tang was already sore all over, and now that he was angry, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Shen Sui just came to see Shen Tang. Knowing that Shen Tang was not seriously injured, he felt relieved. After leaving Qingyi Garden, the old lady sent someone to invite him out.

Shen Sui went to Songhe Hall. When she saw him, the old lady sighed and said, "Tang'er and Luo'er were saved by the Prince of Jingyang. That's why we, the Marquis of Pingyuan, should come and express our gratitude."

The old lady felt embarrassed when she thought about this.

One of the girls from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was afraid of being a widow, so she planned to have her own sister marry in her place; the other knew that the Prince of Jingyang would not die, but she refused to get on the bridal sedan, causing the Jingyang Prince's bridal sedan to be carried back empty. The wedding banquet was held in vain, but the Prince of Jingyang repaid them with kindness, which really made the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion feel ashamed.

What I did already gave people something to talk about, and if I didn't come to express my gratitude, people would criticize me even more.

The Prince of Jingyang not only saved the two girls from the Pingyuan Marquisate, but also caught Shen Tang in public and helped heal her dislocated joint...

If it were two people, they would most likely get engaged. However, no one in the teahouses or taverns talked about it. If it could happen, it would have happened long ago. The Prince of Jingyang had already canceled the marriage proposal from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. The bridal sedan of the Prince of Jingyang had arrived, and Miss Shen Er had put on the phoenix coronet and bridal robe. She would rather tie herself with a hairpin than marry the Prince of Jingyang. How could she get married?

It's impossible, why are you still discussing it?

Besides, a doctor who sets bones is considered a doctor. If a doctor has to marry a girl after setting her bones, how many wives does he have to marry?

The old lady didn't dare to hope for another marriage between the Pingyuan Marquisate and the Jingyang Prince's House. She was afraid that this would affect Shen Tang's half-arranged marriage...

He didn't even know who asked to marry Shen Tang. Since no one came to propose, Shen Sui couldn't ask the emperor.

Shen Sui felt a slight headache when he thought about going to Prince Jingyang's mansion to express his gratitude. The last time Prince Jingyang broke off the engagement was embarrassing enough, but he didn't expect there would be an even more embarrassing moment. He hoped that there would not be such a thing in the future.

Shen Sui said, "After the morning court tomorrow, I will go to the Jingyang Palace to express my gratitude."

After discussing what thank-you gifts to prepare, Shen Sui left.

……

A night of light sleep.

I didn't sleep well and felt a little dizzy when I woke up.

Shen Tang propped herself up on the bed and sat up. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong came in with a copper basin. Seeing that Shen Tang was awake, Ginkgo came over to help her get up. She grinned and said, "Miss, something happened in the Buddhist temple last night."

Shen Tang instantly perked up, "What happened in the Buddhist temple?"

Ginkgo said, "The Second Wife and the eldest daughter wanted to finish copying the family rules and leave the temple as soon as possible. They stayed up all night copying the rules last night. But somehow, the eldest daughter knocked over the candlestick, and the lamp oil burned all the more than 500 copies of the family rules, and almost set the temple on fire..."

If Ginkgo hadn't been afraid of being accused of gloating, he wouldn't have laughed countless times.

The old lady said that she would not allow the family to come out until she had copied 600 articles of family rules. Now that the family rules have been burned, they are no longer valid.

Shen Tang's depressed mood improved a lot, but why could Shen Xi be so careless? Shen Tang looked out the window, wondering if Chen Shan was venting her anger.

Shen Tang glanced out the window, and Ginkgo became concerned. After Shen Tang finished breakfast, Ginkgo whispered, "I asked, and it turned out that Chen Shan was venting his anger on the young lady..."

Shen Tang was grateful that someone helped her vent her anger, and she couldn't let others help her for free.

After breakfast, Shen Tang thanked Chen Shan and gave him ten taels of silver. Chen Shan said, "This is what I should do."

Shen Tang said, "Although your master asked you to protect me, he certainly wouldn't give such detailed instructions."

Indeed, this was Chen Shan's own idea. He was almost stiff from staying on the tree, so he went to the Buddhist temple to stretch his muscles. He was free anyway.

Shen Tang handed him the silver.

This time Chen Shan accepted it, "Thank you so much for the reward, Princess."

Shen Tang, "..."

It is true that like a master, like a servant.

The master calls her father-in-law, and the subordinates call her the Crown Prince's Consort.

He didn't care at all whether she was embarrassed or not.

I should have known not to thank him.

But does this mean that Chen Shan has revealed that his master is a prince?

It’s not surprising that the man asked the emperor to convey his message.

……

Shen Tang's injuries were only superficial, and with the ointment the man gave him as a tribute, he was almost healed after three days of rest.

That day, after washing up, Shen Tang sat down to eat breakfast. He took a bun and frowned after taking a bite. The saltiness made his eyebrows explode, so he quickly spit it out.

Ginkgo took a bite and said, "Why is it so salty? I'll go ask."

Ginkgo took the buns out and quickly came back to tell Shen Tang, "The kitchen has been a bit messy these past two days. The vegetables ordered by each courtyard have been delivered to the wrong people..."

When did such a low-level mistake happen in a big kitchen?

Shen Tang asked, "Is it just the kitchen that's messy?"

Ginkgo said, "Something seems to have happened in the embroidery room. I heard from Si'er that almost all the housekeepers from various places went to see the old lady yesterday."

Shen Tang smiled. The Second Wife was getting impatient with copying the family rules in the Buddhist hall and was making trouble to force the old lady to let her out.

The old lady is already old, and the second wife has been the housekeeper for more than ten years. Even if the old lady wants to take over, she is unable to do so.

Since they wanted to leave the temple so much, she didn't mind helping them.

After breakfast, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to Songhe Hall.

On the way, Yin Xing advised, "The bruises on your body haven't healed completely yet. Why are you in such a hurry to pay your respects to the old lady? Go a few days later. The old lady won't blame you."

Shen Tang said sadly, "Lately, bad luck has been happening one after another. I'm feeling uneasy. I'm going to the Jokhang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."

Ginkgo said, "But the young lady is the one who is frightened of the horse. The Marquis specifically instructed that you should not go out if you can. The old lady will not let you go."

Shen Tang said, "Even if I'm not allowed to go, I have to go. Mother is gone, and Father is busy. If I don't go to take care of these things, who else can I rely on? It's okay if something happens to me, but I'm afraid that this misfortune will bring disaster to Father and Grandmother. I'll go there to seek peace of mind. I won't take the carriage."

The master and servant walked away while talking. A green figure walked out from behind a rockery and hurried towards the Buddhist temple.
