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

Chapter 135 1

The Fourth Madam thought that the Old Madam did not want her to take over as the housekeeper, but the Second Madam had angered Shen Sui, and when Shen Sui was angry, the Old Madam could not protect the Second Madam, so she had to send the account books and keys to her. But from what the Old Madam said, not only did she really want her to take over as the housekeeper, but she also wanted her to be in charge until the family was divided?

What mistake did the Second Wife make that not only did she anger the Marquis and be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but now even the Old Madam is not on her side?

The old lady had said so much that the fourth wife dared not refuse anymore. She took the account books and keys back to the north courtyard and asked the fourth master to talk to Shen Sui. The result was predictable. Shen Sui asked the fourth master to tell the fourth wife that she would take care of the household expenses and that if she had any questions, she could just ask the old lady.

Only then did the Fourth Wife feel at ease to take over the position of housekeeper.

The fact that the Fourth Madam had refused the right to be the housekeeper twice reached the Second Madam's ears. This time the Second Madam was completely panicked. It would have been fine if Shen Sui had not allowed her to be the housekeeper, but the Fourth Madam was trying to give the old lady a way out. Even if the old lady did not accept it, she should have taken back some of it and waited for Shen Sui to calm down before giving it to her. But the old lady did not do so. It was as if all of a sudden, the old lady did not want her to touch the right to be the housekeeper anymore.

Shen Tang felt relieved when he thought that the second wife would never get involved in the housekeeping power again. After lunch, Shen Tang had nothing to do, so he trimmed branches in the yard. The maids and servants in the yard were whispering to each other. The second girl slapped the eldest girl twice, but the marquis not only did not punish the second girl, but also punished the second wife who protected the eldest girl to kneel in the ancestral hall, and even took away the housekeeping power.

What did the eldest girl do wrong this time?

But the maids and servants could never guess what was going on, and they all felt like they were being scratched by a cat.

After arranging two pots of flowers, Si'er came running in and said, "Miss, the second master pleaded for the eldest lady, but was also punished by the marquis to kneel in the ancestral hall."

I've never seen anyone so eager to seek punishment.

In the past, when Shen Xi made mistakes, the Second Master and the Second Mistress would just plead for her. But now that my father knows that Shen Xi is the biological daughter of the Second Wife, he punishes Shen Xi, and the Second Master goes to him to plead for her. He is blaming my father for punishing Shen Xi. When he thinks about how Shen Xi almost did something so dirty, my father gets angry, and it would be strange if he doesn't punish the Second Master as well.

A family of three, all neat and tidy.

In the evening, the sky was ablaze with sunset glow. Shen Tang went to the garden to admire the flowers. Standing by the lake, enjoying the breeze, a little maid came over and said, "Second Miss, the eldest girl fainted while kneeling in the ancestral hall..."

Shen Tang looked up at the sky and calculated the time. Shen Xian had been kneeling for more than two hours. She knew very well how hard the bluestone floor of the ancestral hall was. She had knelt there before and knew it very well. It was normal for Shen Xian to faint from kneeling after being ill for two consecutive times.

After Shen Xi fainted, she was carried back to Mingyue Garden. The maid reported it to the old lady, but the old lady said nothing and did not ask anyone to call a doctor for Shen Xi. The maid only applied medicine to Shen Xi's bruised knees.

Shen Tang walked around the garden for a while, fed the koi, and felt a little hungry, so he went back to Qingyi Garden for dinner.

After dinner, I walked around the yard twice and then went back to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a medicinal scent. He opened the beaded curtain and entered the room to see Ginkgo boiling medicine by the window. Shen Tang asked, "What are you boiling medicine for?"

Ginkgo shook her head, "I don't know. Chen Shan asked me to make the medicine."

Why did Chen Shan ask me to boil medicine for no reason?

sick?

But she was fine when she came back from Yanqi Lake to find her brother during the day.

Shen Tang was worried. Although Chen Shan was ordered by Xie Guimo to protect her, she had to care about him since he was in Qingyi Garden, especially since Chen Shan had helped her a lot.

Shen Tang walked towards the window. She stood by the window and looked out. Chen Shan appeared. Shen Tang asked, "Are you sick?"

Chen Shan shook his head, "The medicine was boiled by the prince."

Shen Tang's handsome brows were twisted into a knot.

Xie Guimo hasn't come these two days. Could he be sick?

But if you are sick, why don’t you stay in Prince Jingyang’s Mansion and recuperate? Why come to her?

Chen Shan stepped back and Shen Tang closed the window. As soon as he turned around, the window was opened.

She turned around and saw Xie Guimo jumping in through the window. Shen Tang stared at his face. Xie Guimo put his arm around her waist and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Tang said, "You don't look sick from the look of your face. Why did you ask someone to bring me medicine?"

Xie Guimo coughed lightly and said, "The medicine is for the rash."

Shen Tang, "..."

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and his face turned red.

I've never seen such a bastard. He knew that kissing her would cause a rash, but he still dared to do such a thing. He had to kiss her, right?

Shen Tang said, "I think you really don't want to live anymore!"

Xie Guimo said, "Maybe it's okay. How can we know if we don't try?"

"What if the rash breaks out again?" Shen Tang blurted out.

"So I had someone make some medicine."

"..."

Shen Tang felt weak all over and said angrily, "All medicines are poisonous!"

This bastard clearly hates taking medicine, but now...

Shen Tang felt numb in his heart, and an indescribable feeling spread from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Guimo didn't care about all this. God knew how much he missed her when she hadn't come for the past few days. He really couldn't imagine how he could endure it in his previous life when he married Shen Tang and only consummated the marriage once in four years, and almost lost his life. He hadn't come for a few days, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but kiss her, which made him irritable.

He pinched Shen Tang's chin and was about to kiss her, but Shen Tang seemed to be prepared and turned her face away, and his kiss fell on her cheek.

Shen Tang took the opportunity to exert force and took a few steps away from Xie Guimo, "You, don't do this..."

This person is not afraid of death, but she is.

Just a kiss caused so many rashes to appear. Shen Tang thought about the wedding consummation. If Concubine Ye had been cruel, he would have died.

"Until we find out what's causing your rash, you're not allowed to kiss me again!"

Xie Guimo walked towards Shen Tang. He took one step forward, and Shen Tang took two steps back. When they were about to retreat to the door, Xie Guimo said, "Come back, or if you go out, I will go out too."

This bastard!

If he walked out of her house like this, many people would be scared to death.

Shen Tang stood by the door, glaring at him. Xie Guimo said helplessly, "I won't kiss you."

"Come here and talk to me."

This man was a man of his word, so Shen Tang finally felt relieved. Xie Guimo hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and bit her earlobe as punishment. "After meeting you, I finally experienced what it means to live every day like a year."

The earlobe is Shen Tang's most sensitive part. She would explode if someone touched her. She wanted to escape but was hugged and couldn't get away at all.

Something was pressing against her lower abdomen. After all, Shen Tang had experienced it once before, so she knew what it was and her face was burning.

"You, can you let me go..."

The voice was so soft that it didn't sound like his own.

Xie Guimo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let go!"

Shen Tang had no choice but to let him hold her, but after a while, she heard his sigh in her ear, "It seems that even kissing on the face is not allowed..."
