Inside the house, the old lady was sitting on the couch drinking tea, and the third wife was sitting below the old lady, talking to her.

Shen Tang walked around the screen and entered. Seeing her, the old lady was a little surprised, and the third wife was even more surprised. "The second lady's injury was more serious than Luo'er's. How could she recover so quickly?"

Shen Tang stepped forward and bowed to the old lady. "I'm sorry to have worried you, Grandmother. The bruises on my body have almost healed."

The old lady nodded and said kindly, "I'm glad you're okay."

The third wife was getting a little restless.

The doctor said that Shen Tang's injuries were more serious than her daughter's. They were both recovering from injuries, but her daughter had lost half her life in a frightened horse and hadn't recovered yet. The second girl could come to pay her respects to the old lady. The third girl was born out of wedlock, while Shen Tang was a legitimate daughter of a marquis. It was unacceptable that her daughter was more pampered than Shen Tang.

The third wife suspected that the doctor was flattering others and that the ointment he used on Shen Tang was better than the one he used on her daughter.

Well, the ointment Shen Tang used was indeed better, but it was not given by the doctor. Although the Third Madam had doubts, she had no evidence and did not dare to say anything.

Shen Tang sat down and said to the old lady, "Grandma, there have been a lot of bad things happening in the mansion recently. It's really unlucky. I want to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for you and father."

Not only Shen Tang, everyone in the mansion felt that the Marquis' Mansion had been unlucky recently. It seemed as if all the bad luck started when Prince Jingyang needed a wedding to bring good luck, and the eldest girl was afraid of being a widow and refused to get married. Prince Jingyang would be fine once he woke up from the poison, but the bad luck in their Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion kept happening one after another, without end.

It is indeed time to go to the Jokhang Temple to worship.

But the old lady didn't intend to let Shen Tang go. Just as she was about to object, a little maid came in quickly and said, "Old lady, the second wife feels that the Marquis's residence has been too restless recently, which makes her feel uneasy. She wants to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings. I hope you will allow her to go to the Jokhang Temple and continue copying the family rules when she comes back."

After hearing this, Shen Tang hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'll go."

The old lady said, "You just frightened the horse, and your injuries are not fully healed yet. Stay in the mansion to recuperate. It would be the same if you let your second aunt take your eldest sister to pray for the Marquis's mansion."

It was within Shen Tang's expectation that the old lady wouldn't let him go, and it was also within Shen Tang's expectation that she would let the second wife and Shen Xi go.

The old lady has been punishing the second wife to copy the family rules in the Buddhist temple for several days. The second wife couldn't hold it in and made trouble these past two days. The old lady knew it all clearly in her heart, but if she let the second wife out like this, wouldn't the old lady be under the second wife's control? If she didn't let her go, the old lady would be the one who suffered. Now there is a way for the old lady to save face, and she will not refuse it.

Shen Tang struggled twice, but the old lady didn't give in, so Shen Tang gave up.

Shen Tang did not leave. He sat patiently for a while. Then the Second Madam and Shen Xian came. Shen Tang had not been to the Buddhist temple for several days. The Second Madam had lost weight, and Shen Xian's complexion had become even worse.

No meat is allowed in the Buddhist temple, and the food is definitely not the same as in your own yard. Add to that the house rules, and you will be in a bad mood, so it would be strange if your complexion is good.

Seeing the tenderness in the old lady's eyes, Shen Tang said, "Grandma, my eldest sister accidentally knocked over the candle and burned the copied family rules. That's why she hasn't finished copying the six hundred rules yet. Please forgive them for their punishment."

Ginkgo stood behind Shen Tang, her eyes widened as she listened. Did the girl take the wrong medicine? Why was she begging for mercy for the eldest girl and the second wife? She wanted them to copy the family rules in the Buddhist temple until the end of time.

Shen Tang didn't want to plead for Shen Xi and the Second Wife, but the old lady was so distressed that if she didn't plead for them, the old lady would not let them continue to copy the family rules. She had already given them a big step, so this small step wouldn't make a difference.

As soon as Shen Tang pleaded, the old lady agreed, "Since Tang'er pleaded for you, you don't have to copy the family rules anymore."

Shen Tang helped to plead for me so that I could avoid copying the family rules, so I must thank Shen Tang.

Shen Xi, who got up early in the morning to copy the family rules, gritted her teeth and thanked Shen Tang.

Shen Tang said, "Father told me that my fourth sister and I scared the horses because they were fed a drug that made them go crazy. I suspect someone is targeting me, but I never hold grudges against anyone, so I'm worried that it's not just me who's being targeted. It's also our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Second Aunt and Eldest Sister must be careful when they go to the Jokhang Temple."

After hearing this, the Third Madam said, "Second Miss, since you suspect someone is targeting you and the Marquis' Mansion, why did you still go to the Jokhang Temple to pray?"

Shen Tang lowered his eyes and said, "If my guess is correct, then when I go to the Jokhang Temple, someone will definitely attack me. I asked Manager Li to send someone to follow me secretly. This is a good opportunity to catch them in the act, so that I won't have to be so nervous when I leave the house in the future."

As he spoke, Shen Tang looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, please let me go."

Shen Tang just went to pray, but the old lady didn't agree, not to mention that Shen Tang was going to lure the enemy with himself.

How could a lady from a noble family have such a bold idea?

The old lady instructed the second wife, "Bring more people with you, just in case."

The second wife quickly agreed.

She knew better than anyone what a frightened horse was.

After the maid from the front yard came to tell them that the carriage was ready, the Second Madam and Shen Xi took their leave.

After watching them leave, Shen Tang drank some tea, the aroma of the tea hiding the expression on her face.

She has reminded everyone that should be reminded.

I hope they will like the return gift she prepared.

After Shen Xi and the second wife left, Shen Tang did not stay long. He took Ginkgo and left. He admired the flowers in the garden for a while, fed the koi, and then returned to Qingyi Garden.

Shen Tang was tired of lying in bed these days, so she lay on the small couch and read a book after returning home. Shen Ying had never liked the vegetarian food in the Jokhang Temple, especially after eating vegetarian food in the Buddhist temple for so many days. They would not stay in the Jokhang Temple for long, and news should come soon.

Shen Tang patiently read a book. After finishing one, she read half of another. Si'er came in quickly, panting, "Miss, it's bad! The eldest lady and the second lady also scared the horses in the Jokhang Temple!"

Ginkgo's eyes widened in disbelief.

The girl frightened the horse because of the second wife's plot. How could the second wife and the eldest girl also frighten the horse?

Ginkgo looked at Shen Tang, suspecting it was Shen Tang's doing, and then heard Shen Tang ask worriedly, "Are they injured?"

A startled horse will inevitably be injured, the severity of the injury varies. Si'er replied, "The eldest girl and the second wife are lucky and have a long life. They didn't fall too badly, but..."

"Just what?" Shen Tang asked.

Si'er didn't know how to report it, so she told her what the servant in the front yard had told her, "The eldest girl and the second wife were riding in a carriage. After praying, they were returning to the mansion. When they were going down the mountain, the horses suddenly went crazy and dragged the eldest girl and the second wife all the way to a gallop, throwing them out of the carriage."

"Luckily, there's a piece of farmland at the bottom of the hill. The soil was just turned over a couple of days ago, so it's soft. Falling down wouldn't be that serious. It's just that the farmland was fertilized with manure this morning..."

Shen Tang, "..."

ginkgo,"……"

There is a picture.

It has flavor too.

If Shen Xi and the Second Madam were given a choice, they would probably rather break their arms than get covered in filth.

I finally got rid of this bad feeling.
