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

Shen Tang was carried back to Qingyi Garden.

When she woke up, it was already evening.

Shen Tang's fainting was fake, but she lost a lot of blood due to injuries and knelt for a long time. She was so tired that she almost fainted.

As soon as she woke up, without waiting for her to ask, Ginkgo started to tell her what happened after she fainted, "I finally understand why the young lady went to Songhe Hall even though she knew it was the Second Madam who was looking for her."

"Second Madam must have been badly scolded by the old lady this time..."

Ginkgo's pretty little face was full of gloating and joy.

Shen Tang fainted outside Songhe Hall, which undoubtedly put the old lady in a very dangerous situation.

No one outside the mansion knew about the grievances Shen Tang had suffered in the past two days, but everyone in the mansion knew about it.

Shen Xian was afraid of being a widow, so she drugged herself and framed her. The Second Wife, concerned about Shen Xian's reputation, did not say a word in defense of Shen Tang, and allowed Shen Tang to be forced by Concubine Ye to marry the Prince of Jingyang to bring good luck.

She had been bullied so badly, but she was afraid of affecting the relationship between the sisters, so she risked her life to refuse the marriage. Without waiting for the marquis to punish her, she went to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment herself.

Prince Jingyang woke up, proving that she was not wrong.

She was injured and needed to see a doctor urgently, but the old lady was anxious to know why she was so sure that Prince Jingyang would wake up, so she ignored her health and called her in for questioning, causing her to faint outside Songhe Hall.

Of course, it was not the old lady who asked Shen Tang to go, but the second wife.

But when Shen Tang said it, the old lady did not deny it, and the second wife did not admit it. Now that he has fainted, it is useless to deny it.

The person was called by her old lady.

Naturally, the old lady had to bear the consequences.

As word of Shen Tang's fainting spread, everyone in the mansion sided with Shen Tang. They all felt that the old lady was too partial to the eldest daughter, and was not just cruel but vicious to the second daughter, Shen Tang. Even Shen Sui was annoyed, "Such a big matter, I will not fail to ask about it. Tang'er is injured, mother, can't I ask? Do you have to call Tang'er to ask in person?"

Shen Sui has always respected the old lady and has never said a harsh word to her. This is the first time.

The Second Wife bullied Shen Tang under the guise of the Old Lady, causing the Old Lady to be scolded by her own son. How could the Old Lady not be angry and scold the Second Wife?

I'm afraid he wants to skin the second wife alive.

Shen Tang didn't think that she was innocent of the scolding from the old lady. The second wife dared to boss her, the eldest daughter of the eldest house, around under the guise of the old lady. It was all because of the old lady's indulgence. Only when her father was angry would the old lady restrain the second wife, and only then would the second wife not dare to act on her own.

The old lady was too partial and her prestige was damaged. She will not and dare not be too partial in the future. At least she will be nice to her in public.

As I was thinking this, a little maid came in and stood outside the bead curtain to announce, "Miss, Madam Wang is here."

"Please come in, Madam Wang."

The little maid left, and soon Mother Wang came in.

When Mother Wang walked in, Shen Tang forced a smile on his pale face. "Mother Wang, come in, but what do you want Grandma to do?"

Mother Wang said, "The Second Miss fainted outside Songhe Hall. The old lady is heartbroken. The Second Miss has not woken up yet. The old lady is worried and asked this servant to come and check on her."

Shen Tang said weakly, "It's really unfilial to cause grandma to worry."

Mother Wang said, "The old lady knows that the second young lady has been wronged, and she feels sorry for her, so she specially ordered this servant to bring some things to the second young lady."

Mother Wang glanced back, and the two maids following behind her came forward.

Two maids were holding trays.

There was a brocade box on the tray, and you could tell at a glance that it contained jewelry.

If you are wronged, you must comfort them.

The maid put the tray down, and Madam Wang said, "Second Miss, take good care of yourself. I will be leaving now."

Shen Tang said, "Gingxing, send Mother Wang out."

Ginkgo sent Mother Wang out and came back soon. With a pair of twinkling eyes, she came close to her and asked mysteriously, "Girl, guess what happened to the eldest girl?"

Shen Tang said nonchalantly, "Do you regret not congratulating Prince Jingyang?"

Ginkgo covered her mouth and laughed, "The young lady caught a cold and has a high fever."

Shen Tang was stunned.

How could Shen Xi catch a cold?

It was not a cold day, and Shen Xi didn't even go out. Even if it was cold, the wind couldn't reach her. This had never happened in her previous life.

Ginkgo said, "I heard from the maid in the yard that the young lady soaked in well water for half an hour last night..."

Shen Tang, "..."

He is someone who likes to suffer.

Shen Tang guessed that it was because she didn't let Ginkgo send the wedding dress back yesterday, which made Shen Xi worried. She was afraid that she would not get married, so she had to make herself really sick.

The person who needed the blessing recovered from his illness, while the one who gave the blessing fell ill.

It's really funny.

Shen Tang tried hard not to laugh out loud.

The master and servant laughed for a while. Ginkgo went to see what the old lady had given Shen Tang as a reward. When she opened the brocade box, she exclaimed in surprise, "The old lady actually gave this set of jewelry to the young lady..."

It’s no wonder that Ginkgo was surprised. Shen Tang was also surprised when he saw it.

The brocade box contained the old lady's favorite set of jewelry. Shen Xi had been longing for it for a long time, and the second wife had repeatedly supported her, but the old lady was reluctant to give it to her. Of course, this set of jewelry ended up in Shen Xi's hands in her previous life.

Shen Xian plotted to marry the Prince of Jingyang. After the Prince of Jingyang woke up, he regretted and felt wronged, thinking that Shen Xian had snatched her ideal husband away from him. He tried to commit suicide, but the old lady comforted him and gave him this set of jewelry.

On the day Xie Guimo accompanied her back home, Shen Xi was wearing this set of jewelry. Unexpectedly, in this life, the old lady used this set of jewelry to comfort her.

Sure enough, inciting the father to anger had an extraordinary effect.

In addition to this set of jewelry, there is also a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets and two white jade hairpins.

But no matter how exquisite the jewelry was, it could not make up for the grievances Shen Tang suffered. Shen Tang just glanced at it and asked Ginkgo to take it away and put it away.

Ginkgo felt that not only should it be put away, but it should be put away so that she couldn't find it. The eldest girl had expressed her desire for this set of jewelry many times, both openly and secretly, but the old lady was reluctant to give it to her. Now that she gave it to the girl, she would definitely find ways to take it away.

While packing her jewelry, Ginkgo asked, "Miss, do you know what people in and outside the mansion are talking about you?"

Shen Tang didn't care what others said about her, but seeing Ginkgo's angry look, she asked, "What are they saying about me?"

Ginkgo said, "People outside the mansion say that the young lady values ​​sisterhood, but the servants in the mansion say that the young lady is stupid. The eldest lady treats the young lady so well. The young lady knew that if she married the Prince of Jingyang, she would not be a widow, but she still rejected such a good marriage..."

Shen Tang knew that his refusal of marriage seemed stupid, extremely stupid, to others.

But she had already married Xie Guimo once, and that was a road full of thorns and torture. She knew that she would most likely marry someone worse than Xie Guimo in the future, but she really didn't have the courage to walk the same road a second time.

Besides, she and Xie Guimo were not suitable for each other, whether in terms of personality or...physicality.

The only time they consummated their marriage, it nearly cost him his life.

Thinking of that time when some children...

Shen Tang felt a sharp pain in his heart, which spread from his heart to his limbs, but she suppressed it with all her might.

How can two people who can't even perform the rituals of husband and wife get married?

Forcing ourselves to be together will only bring pain.

She has more important things to do than getting married. Wouldn't it be better to let herself go and let him go as well?

Regardless of whether Xie Guimo really has her in his heart as Shen Xian said, if she doesn't marry in this life, they are destined to have no more intersections.

However, Shen Tang still hasn't figured it out. There are so many ladies from noble families in Kyoto, and Shen Ying can only be considered average in terms of family background, appearance, and talent. There are more ladies from noble families than her than you can count on one hand. Why is it that she caught the eye of Prince Jingyang's Mansion and made the old prince of Prince Jingyang come to propose marriage in person?

Very poor vision.

Great, one more reason not to get married.

Shen Tang thought a lot but didn't say a word. Ginkgo was wondering if she had a crush on someone...

That glass lamp that no one knows where it came from, could it be a gift from the girl’s lover?

Thinking of this, Ginkgo became a little anxious. The glass lamp had been sent for repair, and she asked Si'er to go to the street to get it. Why hasn't anyone come back yet?

Just as she was worrying, she heard Si'er's anxious footsteps and waved at her from outside the bead curtain.

Gingxing walked over and saw that Si'er had nothing in his hands. She asked, "Where's your stuff? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

Si'er said anxiously, "The glass lamp is gone..."

Ginkgo was stunned, and her voice suddenly rose, "Gone?!"

"How could it be gone?!"

Shen Tang was about to get out of bed when she heard Ginkgo's anxious voice. She asked, "What happened?"

Si'er stepped forward cautiously and said, "The girl's glass lamp was broken into pieces. The old clerk in the jade shop tried many ways to fix it but couldn't. The new clerk thought it was something he didn't want and threw it away..."

The more Si'er spoke, the softer his voice became.

Everyone in the Qingyi Garden knew that the second young lady valued the glass lamp.

The second girl was the most generous to the eldest girl, except for the glass lamp. No matter how much the eldest girl asked for it, the second girl was reluctant to give it to her. Later, the eldest girl "accidentally" broke the glass lamp. The second girl was so angry that she cried, but she was still reluctant to throw it away. She spent a lot of money to find a jade master to repair it. However, the glass lamp was badly broken and the glue broke after a while.

After so many repairs, it has reached the point where it cannot be repaired anymore.

Now that it has been thrown away by the boy in the jade shop, I don’t know how sad and angry the second girl will be.

The second girl has a gentle temperament, but when she gets serious, she can be really scary. Today, she even stabbed herself with the hairpin so decisively...

Shen Tang sat on the bed. She had already forgotten about the glass lamp, but the most frightening thing was that she didn't say anything.

Ginkgo was almost frightened and cried, "Miss, please say something, don't scare me..."

Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm fine."

Is it really okay?

She was the girl's personal maid, and no one knew better than her how much the girl valued the lamp.

Worried, Ginkgo cautiously probed, "The glass lamp is gone, and not even a fragment can be found. Are you really not angry, young lady?"

A masked man and the promise of a lifelong relationship flashed through Shen Tang’s mind.

She laughed to herself.

"A lamp that should have been thrown away long ago, there's nothing to be angry about."
