Shen Tang was a person who easily got stuck in a dead end. She was not sure whether Xiao Huan was her elder brother, so she had no intention of continuing the search. Therefore, she had to confirm it as soon as possible.
It would be more convenient to ask Xie Guimo than to ask Xiao Huan directly, but Shen Tang didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. It just so happened that Xiao Huan had a scar at the same place where his elder brother had a birthmark.
If Xiao Huan was really her biological elder brother, Shen Tang couldn't imagine how happy her father, grandmother, and the entire Jiang family would be.
Xie Guimo repeatedly came to Xiao Huan for Shen Tang. If Xiao Huan didn't have a good relationship with him and Shen Sui refused the marriage proposal, Xiao Huan would have been defeated.
Knowing that Shen Tang suspected that Xiao Huan was her elder brother, the jealousy of a certain gentleman immediately disappeared, and he jumped out of the window happily.
This time he really left.
Shen Tang didn't come back even after finishing his bowl of noodles.
He was very full and needed to walk around to help digest the food. Shen Tang asked Ginkgo to take the letter and went to the North Courtyard.
The Fourth Madam had been away from Beijing for quite a while, more than two months before returning, and had brought back quite a few things. The North Courtyard was very busy at the moment, and when the maid announced Shen Tang's arrival, the Fourth Madam came out to greet him and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, Tang'er?"
The Fourth Madam always doted on Shen Tang. When Jiang was alive, she had the best relationship with her among the sisters-in-law in the mansion. When Jiang was diagnosed as insane, only the Fourth Madam visited her every now and then and talked to her to relieve her boredom. Before Jiang died, in addition to asking the Jiang family to raise Shen Tang on her behalf, she also asked the Fourth Madam to take care of him.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt is finally back. She must be tired after traveling all the way back home. Is there anything wrong with you?"
The Fourth Madam smiled warmly, "You are a little tired, but you are not uncomfortable anywhere. I didn't expect that you would almost get married during this trip out of Beijing. Fortunately, you didn't get married, so I still have the opportunity to see you off."
"Come on, come inside and talk."
The yard was a bit messy, and the fourth wife was afraid that the maid would bump into Shen Tang.
Stepping into the house, Shen Tang asked, "Where's the fifth sister?"
The fourth wife said, "Xi'er is still young and a little carriage-sick. She is sleeping in the house now. If she were alright, she would have come to find you long ago."
Shen Tang looked at the Fourth Madam's face again and again. Just like in her previous life, she didn't see any sign of illness on her face. But in her previous life, she was not only sick, but also extremely ill. Shen Tang was really worried. It happened that Shen Xi was poisoned and had rashes all over her body. She could ask the doctor to check the Fourth Madam's pulse.
The Fourth Madam pulled Shen Tang to sit down and asked about her well-being. Although she had only been back for a short time, the Fourth Madam knew all about Shen Tang stabbing herself for refusing to marry the Prince of Jingyang, falling into the water and catching a cold, and scaring a horse on the street.
Jiang asked her to take care of Shen Tang. When Shen Tang was in trouble, she felt guilty about Jiang's entrustment before her death. Fortunately, Shen Tang looked rosy, and the Fourth Madam felt relieved.
The Fourth Madam asked, "You went to the palace for a banquet today and you're exhausted. Why are you still here to see Fourth Aunt?"
Shen Tang said, "Aunt Si brought me such local specialties, so it's only right that I come and thank her."
The fourth wife smiled and said, "They are just some worthless things. As long as Tang'er likes them, that's fine."
Shen Tang said, "Besides coming to see Fourth Aunt and Fifth Sister, I also have a letter to pass on to Fourth Aunt."
letter?
The fourth wife asked, "What letter?"
Shen Tang turned around and Yin Xing put the letter in her hands. Shen Tang said, "A few days ago, a man came to the Marquis' Mansion and asked a maid named Chunlan, who used to serve Fourth Aunt, to deliver the letter. She was trapped in Baihua Tower in Wangzhou, and he hoped that Fourth Aunt would see the letter and rescue her."
When Shen Tang spoke, she stared at the Fourth Madam without blinking. She clearly saw the mention of Chunlan. The Fourth Madam's expression changed, and she was a little bit incredulous. "Chunlan is still alive?"
Her eyes fell on the letter in Shen Tang's hand, and she reached out to take it without waiting for Shen Tang to hand it to her.
Seeing that the letter had been opened, the Fourth Madam frowned. Shen Tang said, "Fourth Aunt, please forgive me. The letter was intact when it was delivered. I opened it."
Shen Tang grew up under the care of the Fourth Madam. She didn't think Shen Tang was the kind of person who would open other people's letters casually. There must be something behind it, but she wanted to know what was written in the letter, so she took it out without asking any more questions.
When she opened the letter and saw its contents, Mrs. Four first frowned, then was shocked and suppressedly angry.
Shen Tang noticed all the changes in his facial expressions.
The Fourth Madam understood the letter, which she could not understand, and the message it conveyed made her very angry.
The Fourth Madam put the letter away and asked, "Did the person Chunlan sent back say anything else?"
Shen Tang said, "Chunlan has been trying to find a way to send a letter to Fourth Aunt these years, but Wangzhou is too far from Kyoto, and she can't find anyone to help her."
Chunlan is deeply involved in a brothel. Men who go in and out of brothels are not good men. How could they go to Kyoto, hundreds of miles away, to deliver a letter for a brothel girl? It is already a great luck to meet one.
The fourth wife's eyes were red. "Chunlan is loyal to me. I thought she had already..."
She was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
Shen Tang comforted the Fourth Madam, saying, "Chunlan has been missing for so many years, but she still remembers Fourth Aunt. The bond between master and servant is enviable."
The Fourth Madam wiped away her tears. Just then, the Fourth Master came back. They hadn't seen each other for more than two months. Shen Tang decided not to stay and get in the way. She stood up and said, "Fourth Uncle and Aunt are talking. I'll go back first."
The fourth wife wanted to send Shen Tang away, but Shen Tang refused and left with Ginkgo.
After going out, Shen Tang looked around, not knowing whether Chen Shan was there, so he left.
However, Shen Tang did not go back to Qingyi Garden directly, but went to Qinglan Garden. As a younger sister, she should go and care about her elder sister so as not to give herself a chance to talk about her, and she could also watch the fun, killing two birds with one stone.
The Second Wife has been with Shen Xi since the poison broke out, never leaving her side. Shen Xi took the medicine, but it didn't work much and she was still itching like crazy. The Second Wife was afraid that the maid wouldn't be able to stop Shen Xi and that she would scratch her face, so she had to watch it with her own eyes to feel at ease.
When the second wife heard the maid report that Shen Tang had arrived, her silver teeth were almost broken.
She knew in her heart that Shen Xi had suffered for Shen Tang. It would have been fine if she had just suffered, but the cup of tea containing the antidote was also knocked over by Shen Tang. It would take two days to prepare the new antidote, which meant that Shen Xi would have to suffer for two more days.
Concubine Ye's plots against Shen Tang failed every time. She also failed to plot against Shen Xie, and instead Shen Xie suffered. How could the Second Wife not be angry?
Shen Tang came to visit Shen Xian, and the Second Wife couldn't stop her. When Shen Tang walked in, she received two looks that seemed to want to tear her tendons and skin her alive. Shen Xian was even more unwilling to accept this. She looked at the crabapple flowers on the high table beside her. The maid also knew what she was going to do. Shen Xian struggled madly to break free from the maid's restraints, trying to knock over the high table and hit Shen Tang with the flowerpot.
But Shen Tang could definitely guess Shen Xian's little thoughts as she stood next to the antique display case.
The flowerpot fell over, but did not hurt Shen Tang. Instead, it hit the antique shelf, smashing the various porcelain and jade bottles on the shelf into pieces.
The intermittent shattering sounds made the room quiet.
The maids were terrified.
Those are all the young ladies' favorites and are worth a lot of money.
Shen Xian's delicate face twisted, she was so angry that she lost her mind, "I'm going to kill you!"
The words were directed at Shen Tang. The Second Wife grabbed Shen Xian and said, "The young lady has been poisoned and is going crazy. Call a doctor quickly!"
