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

The man was not kidding her. He said he wanted to marry her and actually came to propose marriage to her. However, Prince Xie arranged a wrong marriage for him, with Shen Xi as his partner. This could not be considered as him breaking his promise.

Especially after he knew that he had arranged a wrong marriage, he tried every means to marry her.

But why didn't he tell her all this after she got married? !

In his previous life, he bullied her and bullied her all the time. Even before she died, Shen Xian told her that Xie Guimo liked her, but she doubted it was true.

Is it so difficult to tell her that he is the one who will spend the rest of her life with her?

Or was he afraid that if she knew he was the Prince of Jingyang, she would tell Shen Xian and the Second Prince about his secret investigation into the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, so he didn't dare tell her?

All the memories of his past life flashed through his mind quickly, and Shen Tang's nose felt sore.

She and Xie Guimo were destined not to be together.

In their previous life, there were many misunderstandings and they quarreled every other day. In this life, the misunderstandings were resolved, but she could not marry him.

He had almost died once when they consummated their marriage in their previous life, and she didn't dare to go through it again.

There is no future between them... only a short pain that is worse than a long one.

The pain spread from the bottom of his heart to every part of his body, and Shen Tang almost curled up.

Ginkgo didn't dare to ask. Qiu Tong's footsteps were heard outside. "Miss, the servant is back, but the fourth lady hasn't come back yet..."

Shen Tang and Shen Luo went out of the house together to visit the lantern festival. Shen Tang couldn't leave Shen Luo alone and go back home first.

Shen Tang had completely forgotten about Shen Luo. She was glad that Shen Luo didn't come back, otherwise if Shen Luo saw her red eyes from crying, she would not only interrogate her, but might also tell her grandmother.

Shen Tang didn't dare to think any more. She quickly took the embroidered handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and even took out rouge and powder to cover the tear marks on her face. She tried her best to think of happy things to improve her mood.

Just as she was putting her rouge away, Shen Luo came back. Ginkgo quickly got off the carriage, and Shen Luo got into the carriageway. "I waited for Second Sister for a long time before leaving the house. I thought I would have to wait for her for a long time before returning. I didn't expect that Second Sister wanted to go back a long time ago. Doesn't Second Sister like the Lantern Festival?"

Shen Tang was thankful that the carriage was dimly lit, otherwise Shen Luo would have definitely noticed something. "Maybe he hasn't fully recovered from two consecutive illnesses. He felt very tired after walking around for a while, so he came to rest in the carriage."

Shen Luo thought about it and it made sense. She wasn't sick, but her legs were sore from walking. What's more, Shen Tang had been sick twice in a row. If Kyoto could hold a lantern festival every day, no, even if it was only held once every half a month or a month, there wouldn't be so many people on the streets.

Although tired, she was also really happy. The servant drove the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion. Shen Luo went to talk to Shen Tang, "Second sister, have you heard? The Marquis of Changping was kicked into the water..."

Shen Tang not only heard about it, she saw with her own eyes that the Prince of Changping was kicked into the water.

Shen Tang was glad that she was shopping with Xie Guimo and was wearing a mask on her face, otherwise the whole Kyoto would know that she had a hand in beating up the Prince of Changping.

But that day at the Jokhang Temple, she was taken by Shen Xikuang to see the Prince of Changping. The Prince of Changping tried to molest her, so she was kicked down the hillside by Xie Guimo. Most people would only suspect that the man was just seeing injustice. How did the Prince of Changping know that she knew the man and was able to catch him by sending people to watch her?

Shen Tang's intuition told him that there was something wrong.

Knowing that the man was Xie Guimo, Shen Tang was no longer worried that he would offend the Changping Marquis' Mansion. However, she really didn't expect that Xie Guimo had been investigating the corruption of the Changping Marquis' Mansion half a year ago. You know, once the corruption of the Changping Marquis' Mansion is confirmed, the emperor will definitely punish it severely. The Changping Marquis' Mansion is Concubine Ye's maiden home, and it is difficult not to involve Concubine Ye and the second prince.

While investigating the Marquis of Changping's mansion, he was also shielding the Second Prince from the attacks...

Shen Tang really couldn't guess what Xie Guimo was doing. Perhaps he had been on guard against the Second Prince for a long time. In his previous life, the Second Prince had been in that position, so Xie Guimo couldn't resist and wanted to get rid of him. Xie Guimo was meticulous, and the Second Prince had no way to start, so Shen Xian used her to poison him.

Thinking that Xie Guimo died in his previous life because of the purse she embroidered, they will no longer have any entanglements in this life, and he will definitely live a good life.

Shen Tang was distracted, and Shen Luo waved her hand in front of her, "Second sister, I'm talking to you, are you listening?"

Shen Tang looked at her, "What did you say?"

Shen Luo, “…”

She was impressed by her second sister. She could still be distracted while talking about the beating of the Prince of Changping. She was curious about what her second sister was thinking. "It is said that the person who kicked the Prince of Changping into the water this time was the same person who kicked him down the hillside at the Jokhang Temple that day..."

Kicking the Prince of Changping Marquis once was already a bold move. The Changping Marquis' Mansion hadn't caught him for so long, yet he dared to go out of the mansion to accompany a girl to visit the lantern festival. He was surrounded by the Changping Marquis' Mansion. Not only did they fail to catch him, but the Prince of Changping Marquis was kicked for the second time. The Changping Marquis' Mansion was completely humiliated this time.

The Marquis of Changping's Mansion is the maiden home of the current emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Ye. I don't know who is so bold as to provoke the Marquis of Changping's Mansion again and again. Throughout almost the entire Lantern Festival, everyone is speculating about who the masked man is. Isn't my second sister curious at all?

Shen Tang said calmly, "What's the point of being curious? How can we guess who even the Changping Marquisate couldn't catch?"

"...That's true," Shen Luo said.

However, not being able to guess did not stop everyone from discussing it. When Shen Luo talked about other interesting things at the Lantern Festival, Shen Tang mostly listened, occasionally saying a word or two.

When the carriage returned to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, it was already very late. The two of them separated only when they reached the garden. Shen Luo returned to the North Courtyard, and Shen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden.

After returning home, Shen Tang took a hot bath and then went to bed.

But too many things happened that night, and Shen Tang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know how long she had been suffering from insomnia. When she woke up the next day, it was already noon.

After breakfast, Shen Tang went to Songhe Hall to pay his respects to the old lady. When he reached the screen, he heard the Third Madam talking about the incident last night when the Prince of Changping was kicked into the water. The Third Madam's words successfully made Shen Tang pause. He only heard the Third Madam say, "The Prince of Changping was seriously injured last time, and this time the injury is even more serious. I heard that the Changping Marquis's Mansion summoned the imperial physician overnight, who said that a rib was broken by the kick..."

Shen Tang knew that Xie Guimo's kick was quite strong, but he didn't expect that he would break a rib of the Marquis of Changping's son.

The Prince of Changping brought this upon himself, but upon hearing this, she felt a sudden surge of unease in her heart for no reason.

Shen Tang suppressed her uneasiness and went forward to pay her respects to the old lady. However, just as she finished paying her respects and was about to sit down, a maid hurried in and said hurriedly, "Old lady, someone from the palace has sent a message. Concubine Ye invites the second young lady to enter the palace."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat, and even his eyelids were twitching.

The fact that Concubine Ye came to see her at this time must be related to the beating of the Prince of Changping last night.

The Marquis of Changping and Concubine Ye couldn't find the masked man, so they went looking for her.
