Shen Tang hadn't resisted before, beside the rockery in the palace. Now she couldn't resist at all. Her breath was completely taken away by him. If he hadn't been afraid that she would suffocate, he wouldn't have been willing to let her go.

Shen Tang was breathing heavily, his face flushed and his neck thick, half out of shame and half out of anger.

She had never seen such a bastard!

Try this again and again!

Was he seeking death or taking advantage of her? Shen Tang didn't know whether to expect him to break out in a rash and itch all over like in his previous life or not.

However, although she was angry, Shen Tang also wanted to figure out what was going on. Although she was reborn after death, she was still herself. Xie Guimo was even more so. They were the same two people. There was no reason why he couldn't touch her in his previous life, but could do so now.

Xie Guimo wiped his lips, still unsatisfied. He looked over, and Shen Tang was frightened, "You, don't go too far..."

It would be fine if this bastard just kissed her, but he also reacted. Shen Tang was afraid that he wanted to try something else. Not to mention that they had no relationship now, even if they were engaged, they couldn't do anything that crossed the line before getting married.

Shen Tang's defensiveness was all over his face. What did this woman take him for? But when he thought about what Shen Tang said, how they had been married for four years and had only consummated their marriage once, and how he had almost lost his life, let alone him, even if that man was another man, he would feel sorry for that man.

Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang and said, "My father-in-law asked me to come and propose marriage, and the emperor also urged me to do it as soon as possible. Today you bit my lip, and my mother is also urging me. What do you say we should do?"

How could she know what to do...

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, and quickly looked away after just one glance, not daring to look at him at all. "Even if it's okay for you to kiss me, it doesn't mean that... "

He couldn't speak coherently, and his face was red as if blood was dripping out.

It's really killing me. Although they were very close in the previous life, it was only once in four years. I have long forgotten what it felt like. There was no such intimacy between husband and wife where they could talk about anything. Talking about this is extremely embarrassing, especially since Xie Guimo has no memory of his previous life.

Shen Tang was annoyed and really didn't want to talk to him about this, but this bastard had come to her again without her knowing. She could feel his body temperature as they were so close, and his hot breath sprayed on her ear. "If you are so afraid that I can't marry you, I don't mind having the wedding night in advance, so you can rest assured."

This bastard!

He really had such thoughts!

Shen Tang blushed and said, "Don't even think about it!"

Xie Guimo said, "If you hadn't refused to get into the bridal sedan, we would have consummated our marriage long ago."

Shen Tang really didn't want to discourage him. In her previous life, she had been in a bridal sedan, but now he hadn't even kissed her.

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, "Are you really okay?"

Xie Guimo asked, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

She asked because she didn't notice it. In her previous life, the reaction was very obvious. After a while of kissing, her whole body would itch and rashes would appear on her face. If she waited a little longer, maybe the time was not right yet.

Shen Tang kept looking at his face, making Xie Guimo's back teeth itch. "Why do I feel like you hope something happens to me?"

"I'm being cautious."

Xie Guimo was not satisfied with this answer, at least he didn't feel that Shen Tang hoped he was okay.

Xie Guimo said, "Maybe he was poisoned in his previous life."

Shen Tang also had this suspicion, "But you checked, no one poisoned him."

All the food was checked several times by the imperial physician, but no problems were found. Moreover, it was suspected that someone had poisoned them. It didn't make sense that only Xie Guimo would be in trouble while she was fine. He even suspected that someone had poisoned her, but there was no such poison.

Xie Guimo also felt that if this really happened to him, he couldn't help but investigate it, otherwise this matter would be very strange.

Time passed little by little. Ginkgo and Qiutong stood guard outside the door, pricking up their ears from time to time to listen to the movements in the house. They thought the noodles should be almost cooked, so Qiutong went to serve the noodles to prevent Mother Zhou from bringing them in. If Prince Jingyang didn't leave, they would have to stop him. It would be better to be diligent.

Shen Tang was waiting for Xie Guimo to explode, but as he was waiting, there was a knock on the door. Qiu Tong came in with noodles, and a fragrant smell wafted over, which made Shen Tang's stomach churn with greed.

Shen Tang was starving. She sat down and started eating noodles with her chopsticks. Xie Guimo sat down beside her. Shen Tang looked at him. Why did he sit down? "Aren't you leaving?"

Xie Guimo said, "Aren't you waiting for me to explode?"

Shen Tang, "..."

No little thought can be hidden from him, but it's almost tea time, and the outbreak should have occurred long ago.

He's really fine...

But this incident not only did not make Shen Tang feel relieved, but made him even more depressed.

The fact that he was fine meant that they had indeed been plotted against in their previous life. Xie Guimo had investigated so many times in his previous life but hadn't found out. If they were still together in this life, there would definitely be another plot. If they could prevent it, it would be fine. But I'm afraid...

Shen Tang's appetite suddenly disappeared. At this time, Yin Xing came in and said, "Miss, the fourth wife brought back a lot of local specialties and sent someone to deliver them to you..."

The fourth wife sent someone to deliver something to her, so there was no reason not to let people into the house.

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, who frowned in annoyance and jumped out of the window to leave.

Almost as soon as he left, the Fourth Madam's people came in. In her previous life, the Fourth Madam came back from her mother's house to celebrate her birthday and brought a lot of local specialties, which she specially sent to Jingyang Palace for Shen Tang. In this life, they were sent directly to Qingyi Garden.

The things were still the same as in the previous life, only with some difference in the quantity. After all, now it was only given to Shen Tang alone, while in the previous life she had already married Xie Guimo, so they were two people.

The maid said, "The Madam has just returned to the capital and was exhausted from the journey, so she asked me to bring this to the Second Young Lady."

Shen Tang smiled and said, "It's hard for Fourth Aunt to think of me. Please thank her for me."

The maid put down the things she brought, bowed and left without disturbing Shen Tang who was eating noodles.

Shen Tang did not let the maid take the letter back. She planned to deliver it to Fourth Aunt personally later. For some reason, she always felt that the letter was very important and must not be lost.

After the maid left, Shen Tang continued to eat noodles. As a result, the person who jumped out of the window jumped back out of the window.

Shen Tang, "..."

Why did this guy come back again? Every time he comes, she and Ginkgo Qiutong have to live in fear for several days.

Xie Guimo said, "You haven't told me yet, is there anything you need me to do for you?"

Shen Tang was bewildered, "I don't need you to do anything for me."

A certain gentleman's face darkened, "Does Xiao Huan have to do it for you?"

Shen Tang, "..."

Why is this person so jealous? Why didn’t she notice it at all in her previous life?

Ginkgo and Qiutong had already gone out and had closed the door behind them.

Shen Tang said, "I just want to ask Prince Ning something. I don't need his help."

It's not okay to ask Xiao Huan for help, even if you just ask for help.

"Ask me."

Shen Tang, "..."

This person has definitely fallen into a jar of jealousy.

What's the point of asking Xiao Huan the same thing she asked him?

and many more.

Maybe we can ask him.

Shen Tang asked, "Does Xiao Huan have a birthmark on his lower back? It's about this size."

Shen Tang gestured with his hand. The man's face darkened and he gritted his teeth, "You're asking me if other men have birthmarks?!"

It was him who asked her to ask, and then got angry after asking.

Shen Tang said, "You asked me to ask."

This woman definitely wanted to piss him off to death.

Xie Guimo asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Tang said, "My eldest brother has a birthmark on his lower back. I suspect Xiao Huan is my biological brother."

Xie Guimo, "..."

Why would she suspect that Xiao Huan was her elder brother?

Although he felt strange, the gentleman's expression improved a little. "Xiao Huan doesn't have a birthmark on his lower back."

There's none?

Shen Tang looked disappointed.

"but--"

Xie Guimo changed the subject, "There's a scar on his lower back where you mentioned the birthmark is."

Two years ago, when Xiao Huan returned to Beijing, Chu Yi dragged them to take a hot spring bath. He saw it with his own eyes. At that time, Chu Yi asked Xiao Huan how he got such a big scar. Xiao Huan just smiled and didn't say how he got it.

Scars can cover birthmarks...

It is normal that my eldest brother cannot have a birthmark on his body since he is going to become the Prince of Ning.

Shen Tang suddenly felt a little hopeful again. "Please ask him for me."
