Afraid that Jiang Li and Jiang Ning would ask further questions, Shen Tang decisively changed the subject and asked, "Why did grandma give her favorite jade bracelet to my eldest sister?"

Jiang Ning said, "Grandma likes jade bracelets, but she likes my cousin even more. My cousin only comes to the Jiang family once every ten years or so. She likes Grandma's jade bracelet, so Grandma took it off and gave it to her."

She knew that her grandmother did not give the jade bracelet to Shen Xi casually.

This was the first time in more than ten years that the granddaughter came to visit, and she clearly liked the jade bracelet she was wearing. Even though she was reluctant, she had to reluctantly give it up and give it to Shen Xi.

Shen Tang was very angry. She looked around and said to Jiang Li and Jiang Ning, "She is not my biological sister. She has nothing to do with the Jiang family."

Jiang Li and Jiang Ning were both stunned.

Jiang Ning was so shocked that she blurted out, "How is this possible?!"

Shen Tang said, "The day I stopped the Yongning Marquis's mansion from harming my cousin, I was ready to tell my grandmother. I thought Shen Xi wouldn't come to the Jiang family, so I didn't tell my grandmother to avoid anger. I didn't expect her to come to the Jiang family and ask my grandfather to plead for the second wife who plotted against my mother's dowry. My grandmother even gave her her favorite gift."

"Even today, it was because she went that I was worried and asked my cousins ​​to check the things brought into the tribute hall."

"From now on, whether she comes to the Jiang family or meets her outside the mansion, you must be careful."

If there was evidence, Shen Tang would have said directly that the cheat sheet in the bedding and the laxative in the food were the work of Shen Xi. However, even if Jiang Li and Jiang Ning couldn't guess it, his grandparents could guess it.

Shen Tang didn't want them to be sad, but now it had come to the point where she had to tell them. She couldn't be so lucky every time. If she caught them, the Jiang family would have to be on guard.

If her concealment caused the Jiang family to fall victim to Shen Xi's schemes, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Jiang Li and Jiang Ning, you look at me and I look at you.

Although they all knew that their aunt disliked Shen Xian during her lifetime and even almost strangled her to death, they never thought that Shen Xian was not really their aunt's daughter. However, Shen Tang helped the Jiang family several times, and they couldn't help but believe what Shen Tang said.

The two nodded, "We will be careful."

It was already late, so the three of them just strolled around the garden and then returned to Cuibai Courtyard to have lunch with Old Madam Jiang.

After dinner, they stayed for another quarter of an hour before Jiang Li and Jiang Ning sent Shen Tang out of the house.

However, Shen Tang did not go back to the Marquis' Mansion directly, but stopped in front of a pharmacy on the street. Last time she forgot to take her medicine, and the pain during her period was so severe that she was almost dead. This time she must not forget it again. Buying medicine was also one of the reasons why she had to leave the mansion today.

The carriage stopped. Seeing Shen Tang was about to get up, Yin Xing said, "I'll just go get the medicine."

Shen Tang said, "Let's go together."

Ginkgo was afraid that if someone saw Shen Tang going to the pharmacy, rumors would spread, but Shen Tang didn't care. She was feeling stuffy in the carriage, and it would take a while to get the medicine, so she just went down to get some fresh air. As for being seen, rumors about her being unlucky would spread everywhere. Is there any rumor more hurtful than this?

The master and servant entered the pharmacy. Ginkgo handed the prescription to the pharmacy clerk and said, "Give me ten prescriptions."

Ten sets are not enough, you need to take it for three months, ten sets per month.

The young man was quick and quickly prepared ten prescriptions. Ginkgo paid the money, then carried the medicine and followed Shen Tang out of the pharmacy.

Shen Tang said, "Put the medicine in the carriage, and we'll go buy some candied fruits in front."

Shen Tang was afraid of taking medicine, especially the three times a day. If she didn't take candied fruit to suppress it, she would be miserable.

Zuixian Tower.

Private room on the second floor.

The prince of Xuanyi Marquis Chu Yi, the prince of Duan Wang Xiao Xun, and the eldest son of the Minister of War Lu Li were sitting there drinking.

Chu Yi asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Huan arrived yet? The Emperor wouldn't want him to stay in the palace for lunch, would he?"

Xiao Xun knew that Chu Yi was always impatient, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Huan is no less idle than us. He just returned to the capital from the border today and reported to the palace. The emperor must have a lot to ask him, but--"

Xiao Xun looked at Xie Guimo who was standing by the window and whispered, "Don't you think he's a little bit abnormal today?"

Chu Yi agreed, "A little bit indeed."

He stood up and walked towards Xie Guimo, asking, "Brother Guimo, is there something on your mind?"

"No."

They still say no, but the words "I have something on my mind" are almost carved on their faces. They are not blind.

Xie Guimo didn't say anything, so Chu Yi was ready to ask Chen Qi indirectly. However, just as he was about to ask Chen Qi, there was a commotion downstairs, followed by the sound of things being smashed. This was obviously the sound of a fight, which immediately attracted Chu Yi's attention.

There was a fight downstairs, and Chu Yi went to watch the fun. Xie Guimo didn't move. He looked at the sky and was about to sit down to drink when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Seeing Shen Tang talking and laughing with the maid, a certain master felt his back teeth itching.

I have never seen such a heartless woman. She knew that she was being targeted by the Changping Marquis Mansion, but she still dared to take her maid out shopping. She really is not afraid of death at all.

Ginkgo paid the money and took the candied fruit, and Shen Tang prepared to go home. The master and servant walked forward, and as they walked, Shen Tang slowly stopped.

I don’t know if it’s her imagination.

Why did she feel like someone was staring at her?

Could it be someone from the Marquis of Changping's Mansion?!

Shen Tang stopped, looked back, and saw Xie Guimo standing by the window.

Eyes facing each other.

A glance dodged.

A fire flickered in one eye.

Shen Tang thought of what Jiang Ning told her, that Xie Guimo went to burn paper at her mother Jiang's grave. Really, Shen Tang made up her mind to take a detour when she saw Xie Guimo, but she really couldn't help but wonder why he would do such an outrageous thing.

Shen Tang couldn't help but look towards the window, but she was standing in an unfortunate position, right outside the gate of Zuixianlou, where a fierce fight was going on.

Then a wine jar flew out from inside and hit her squarely.

Shen Tang naturally didn't notice it, but Xie Guimo saw it and his face changed drastically. He leaned on the window with his hands and jumped down from the second floor.

Shen Tang was looking at Xie Guimo. When he saw him jump down, his heart skipped a beat. Then someone hugged his waist and turned him around. Then the sound of a wine jar hitting the ground was heard.

Shen Tang realized belatedly that he was almost hit by a wine jar. If he had been hit, he would have been half-dead if not killed.

Shen Tang was still in shock. She looked up to see who saved her and suddenly met a familiar pair of eyes.

"Big brother-"

Shen Tang blurted out.

The man said, "Are you calling me, girl?"

Shen Tang came to his senses and quickly took a step back.

She must be crazy.

She actually felt that Xiao Huan, the only grandson of the current emperor's uncle, Prince Ning, and the Prince of Ning's Mansion, was her elder brother who had been lost for more than ten years.

Shen Tang quickly pushed this inappropriate thought out of his mind, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Prince Ning, for saving me."

Xiao Huan was surprised, "Have you seen me before, young lady?"

"...I once had the honor of seeing him from afar," Shen Tang replied.

Not far away, a man's face was darker than the bottom of a century-old pot.

He found that Shen Tang was in danger, but it was too late to jump out of the window to save her. When he saw someone saving Shen Tang, his heart was relieved. But when he saw Shen Tang being hugged by someone around the waist and she was still staring at the other person's face, the anger in his heart surged to his head.

Xie Guimo strode over. Seeing that his face looked bad, Shen Tang quickly dodged.

Xiao Huan smiled and greeted Xie Guimo, "Hello."
