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

She thought she was lucky...

An indescribable feeling flashed through Shen Tang's heart. She just looked at the auspicious clouds embroidered with gold and silver threads on Xie Guimo's lapel without saying a word.

She really didn't know what to say. If she thanked him, Concubine Ye had called her, a soft persimmon, into the palace just to force her to tell her who he was. If she didn't thank him, she would most likely have to kneel in Changchun Palace for three hours.

But a certain gentleman was already angry that she saw him taking a detour. The more she remained silent, the angrier he became. "Speak!"

Shen Tang looked up at him and whispered, "I didn't give you away. As long as I see you take a detour next time, Concubine Ye and Marquis Changping won't guess it was you."

Xie Guimo laughed in anger. He really knew how to find excuses to avoid him. "Do you think I'm afraid they'll find out?"

Shen Tang had nothing to say.

He is the prince of Jingyang, and the prince of Changping Hou asked for trouble both times. If they really had to bring it out in public, Xie Guimo would not only not be afraid, but the Marquis of Changping would have to go to Xie Guimo's house to apologize for his poor parenting.

But wasn't he secretly investigating the corruption of Marquis Changping? Once it was exposed, Marquis Changping and Concubine Ye would know it was him, and they would even guess that the emperor wanted to take action against Marquis Changping. In his previous life, he kept it a secret and didn't let her know at all. How could she just push him out to protect herself?

Xie Guimo's eyes were fierce. Shen Tang knew that if she didn't say anything, he wouldn't give up. "If I tell you, you and your mother will be accused of being ungrateful."

Princess Jingyang and Concubine Ye are more than just cousins. Concubine Ye's father died on the battlefield more than 20 years ago while trying to save Princess Jingyang's father. Concubine Ye's mother committed suicide for love, leaving Concubine Ye an orphan. She was taken in by her uncle to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Concubine Ye married the emperor and was born out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Although all the members of the Zhenguo Mansion died in the battlefield later, the gratitude still existed. Anyone could investigate the Changping Marquis Mansion, except Xie Guimo. If these old gratitudes were to be dug up, everyone would spit at him and Princess Jingyang until they were almost dead.

Xie Guimo frowned.

This woman recognized him just by looking at his back, and even knew all these things. How did she know so much?

Xie Guimo liked to touch Shen Tang's face, and unconsciously stroked it with his hand. "You know quite a lot. Since you know so much, you should know that Marquis Changping and Concubine Ye will not give up until they find me. Do you think they will let you go if you refuse to tell them?"

This is also what Shen Tang is most worried about.

The Prince of Changping was beaten twice, and this time it was so serious that a rib was broken. Changping Marquis and Concubine Ye had lost so much face that they would never let it go. If they couldn't catch Xie Guimo, they would definitely keep a close eye on her.

She got away with it today, but what about next time? And the time after that?

Why does she always mess with people she can't afford to mess with?

Shen Tang's mood was shrouded in a thick haze. Xie Guimo's voice echoed in her ears, "You can hardly protect yourself, but you still think about me and my mother. You are so considerate. Why don't you think about me again? I still need a prince's consort..."

The hot breath drilled into her ears, causing a tingling sensation, which was then dispelled by the pain spreading in her heart.

Shen Tang really didn't want to talk to him about his future Crown Prince's Consort, but she was imprisoned in this small place and couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Shen Tang said unhappily, "There are so many ladies from wealthy families in Kyoto. If you like any of them, just come and propose marriage."

Xie Guimo smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you and go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."

Shen Tang, “……!!!”

Why do you still want to marry her?

Wasn't she clear enough?

Afraid that he would really do it, Shen Tang said anxiously, "I can't do it!"

Xie Guimo had never wanted to strangle someone so much before. The smile on his face disappeared. "The emperor knows that I want to marry you. If I don't come to propose marriage, I will be deceiving the emperor. You will never marry anyone else in this life."

This may scare others, but it won't scare her.

Even an engagement can be cancelled, let alone they haven't even decided on a marriage. The emperor loves him and has great trust in him. Even if the sun sets in the west, the emperor will not punish him for such a small matter.

Shen Tang said, "I won't marry."

Xie Guimo was so angry that his back teeth were itching. This woman would rather remain single for her entire life than marry him.

Xie Guimo's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, "Give me a reason."

Shen Tang was exhausted. Hadn't she already given him a reason? Why was he still asking? Shen Tang could only repeat, "My mother won't allow it."

Shen Tang had told the man this reason before he knew his identity, but the man didn't believe it, so he just forgot about it.

He looked into Shen Tang's eyes and asked, "Why not?"

If you say no, then you are not allowed. Why do you have to ask so clearly?

The misunderstanding between them in their previous life has been resolved. If she can get married, can she not marry him?

He insisted on rubbing salt into her wounds. Shen Tang was unwilling to say a word and perfunctorily said, "I don't know either."

Xie Guimo didn't believe this answer, "You really don't know?"

Shen Tang said he didn't know.

"It seems I have no choice but to dig up my mother-in-law's grave and ask her in person."

This bastard!

Who is his mother-in-law? !

He even wants to dig up her mother's grave?!

Shen Tang was so angry that she glared at Xie Guimo. She wanted to push Xie Guimo away and leave, but a drunk man had an extremely stubborn temper. Shen Tang couldn't push him away, and her temper flared up, so she stepped on his foot in anger.

Just one step, the person being stepped on didn't cry out in pain, but the one who stepped on him cried out in pain and tears came out.

Xie Guimo laughed angrily, "I haven't even cried out in pain yet, but you're the first to feel the pain?"

You step on him and still feel disgusted by his feet.

Seeing that Shen Tang was not pretending, he lowered his head and saw blood on Shen Tang's ankle. His eyes narrowed, "What happened to your foot?"

Tears of pain welled up in Shen Tang's eyes.

The injury to her ankle from the broken porcelain vase fragments in Changchun Palace was not as painful as the kick she had just given Xie Guimo.

Xie Guimo helped her sit aside and wanted to check her wound, but Shen Tang refused, "I'm fine..."

Even though there was blood, it's still okay.

Shen Tang wanted to pull her foot back, but Xie Guimo was holding it in his hand, so it would be strange if she could pull it back.

But she couldn't marry him, and there shouldn't be such intimacy between them.

Xie Guimo wanted to see Shen Tang's wound, but just a touch made Shen Tang feel pain. "It hurts, it hurts, be gentle..."

Ginkgo was guarding outside the rockery. When he heard this, his ears pricked up and his little face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt.

The girl and the Prince of Jingyang are in the rockery. No, not...

Although this area is remote and no one has come here for a long time, it doesn’t mean that no one will come here forever. Isn’t this too bold?

Ginkgo walked a few steps away, looking to the left and then to the right, afraid that someone would come and hear the noise.

In the rockery, Xie Guimo said, "The injury is not serious, it's just that the wound and the socks are stuck together."

He wanted to help Shen Tang deal with it, but Shen Tang couldn't bear the pain. "Don't move, don't move, I will go back and deal with it slowly."
