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

Chapter 121 Patience

Shen Tang also knew that if she asked the Fourth Madam directly, she would get the answer quickly, but she was afraid of revealing that she had understood the letter. The Fourth Madam had returned home for so many days and was not sick like in her previous life. The only diarrhea she had was caused by her making a fuss about taking the Fourth Madam to see a doctor. In her previous life, the Fourth Madam was definitely killed by the Second Wife.

For the sake of the letter, the Fourth Madam was willing to spend thousands of taels to redeem Chunlan. She had deep affection for her father and the eldest house, but she did not dare to offend the second house and tell her father about it before she was sure. Shen Tang did not want to embarrass the Fourth Madam, and was even more afraid of bringing trouble to the fourth house. She knew in her heart that if Xie Guimo had not sent people to protect her, she would probably die faster in this life than in her previous life.

It would be the same if Steward Li could help her investigate. In the previous life, the Marquis' Mansion had made a big fuss about looking for Chunlan, so there must be a criminal record. Shen Tang was eager to know her own guess and only hoped that Steward Li could help her find out as soon as possible.

I came back in a panic all the way, but now that I'm finally back home, I'm not so anxious anymore. I went to Songhe Hall to see the old lady before returning to Qingyi Garden.

Back at Qingyi Garden, Shen Tang drank a cup of tea, and the maid brought the food into the room. Shen Tang ate absentmindedly, and only finished half a bowl when Si'er came in and said, "Second Miss, Manager Li is here."

It must have been found!

Shen Tang quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked out.

Steward Li seldom visited the inner courtyard, and even less so the Qingyi Garden. The last time he came, he brought the imperial physician to treat Shen Tang. Shen Tang eagerly asked, "Have you found anything, Steward Li?"

Steward Li nodded and said, "I asked the steward of the fourth house, and Chunlan's ancestral home is in Qizhou."

Qizhou!

It is a place where shoes are referred to as children.

Shen Tang's eyes were moist and hot, "Thank you, Manager Li."

Steward Li didn't know why Shen Tang was asking about Chunlan's ancestral home, but as a servant, he knew his master shouldn't ask too many questions, so he held back and asked, "Second Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Shen Tang shook his head, "Nothing else."

Manager Li returned to the outer courtyard. In fact, for such a small matter, it would be enough to send a reliable person to pass on the message, but Shen Tang didn't even ask the Fourth Madam, but asked him to investigate. Manager Li decided to come himself.

After Manager Li left, Shen Tang returned to the room. Now that the matter was confirmed, Shen Tang started to eat more seriously. However, after finishing a bowl of rice, when Ginkgo asked if he wanted some more, Shen Tang stood up and walked towards the window.

Pushing the window open, Shen Tang leaned forward to look around for a few times, and Chen Shan appeared and asked, "What do you want, Princess?"

Shen Tang said, "I want your master to do me a favor."

Shen Tang thought Chen Shan would ask what he needed his master's help with, but Chen Shan didn't ask. "I will go back and report this to you."

Before he finished speaking, he leaped up and was several feet away from the window. In a few breaths, he disappeared from sight.

I usually find excuses to come to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion when I have nothing to do. With such a good opportunity, of course I have to come and ask in person.

Shen Tang felt that such a small matter did not require Xie Guimo to make a personal trip, and that he could just help pass on the message. However, Chen Shan was willing to make the trip and was willing to trouble his master, so what else could Shen Tang say?

She turned around and sat back, continuing to eat. After finishing half a bowl, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, and the maid brought in the food.

After Shen Tang finished eating, he walked around the yard twice, then went back to the house and read a book while waiting for Xie Guimo.

She really has a bad temper. When she is not in a hurry, she is slow and slow. But when she is anxious, she acts as if the situation is urgent. She has no patience at all and has to deal with this matter well before she can calm down and do other things.

After all, Xie Guimo is the prince of Jingyang. How could he be so idle as to stay in the mansion every day? He can come whenever there is something. In the previous life, when we lived under the same roof, it was impossible to find him all the time, let alone now.

Shen Tang reflected on himself and calmed down to read. Sure enough, half an hour later, there was a knock on the window.

When Shen Tang heard the sound, he looked and saw Xie Guimo pushing open the window and jumping in. Shen Tang hurriedly put down the book in his hand and got off the small couch.

Xie Guimo asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Shen Tang shook his head slightly.

Xie Guimo asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Shen Tang said, "Send a reliable person to Wangzhou Baihua Tower to help me redeem a maid named Chunlan."

Although the Fourth Madam had already sent someone to do this, for some reason, she felt uneasy since she knew about it. It would be better for her to send someone to pick up Chunlan herself. However, she had no one to use. She could ask her father, but she would inevitably be questioned. Shen Tang was even more afraid that her father would be disappointed if she couldn't find her second brother. After thinking about it, she decided that it would be more convenient to ask Xie Guimo.

Asking Xie Guimo for help, Xie Guimo really wouldn't ask that many questions, but Shen Tang forgot that a certain master would make requests. He put his arm around Shen Tang's waist and whispered in her ear, "I can help you redeem the person, but you have to give me a definite date. When can I come to propose marriage?"

Shen Tang said, "Haven't you decided yet? After Shen Xian gets engaged..."

Xie Guimo said unhappily, "It's been a few days, and she still hasn't gotten engaged. If she stays unmarried for the rest of her life, does that mean I won't propose marriage to her for the rest of my life?"

Shen Tang, "..."

It has only been a few days since I came back from the Jokhang Temple. Engagement is not a joke and it cannot be done just like that.

Shen Tang struggled, but Xie Guimo refused to let go. Shen Tang angrily said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked you to help me."

Xie Guimo frowned, "If you don't ask me, who else do you want to ask for help?"

Shen Tang raised his head and said, "My eldest brother."

Xie Guimo, "..."

She almost forgot that Xiao Huan was her elder brother. It would be appropriate to ask Xiao Huan for this matter.

However, Xie Guimo was not angry, but in a good mood. She did not look for her own elder brother but for him, which meant that she trusted him more. Shen Tang did think of looking for Xie Guimo first. After all, Xie Guimo had helped her with all the big and small things in the past two months, and she had developed a habit of it.

Although he could find Xiao Huan, he would definitely not refuse, but Xiao Huan had not yet recognized his ancestral roots after all. Besides, finding Xiao Huan was not as convenient as finding Xie Guimo.

Seeing the smile in Xie Guimo's eyes, Shen Tang asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Guimo pinched Shen Tang's nose and said, "It's different with big brother protecting me."

"That's natural..."

In her previous life, Xiao Huan didn't know that he was her elder brother. He helped her many times and even helped her find Xie Guimo to get a divorce letter. However, Xie Guimo misunderstood that they had an affair. In this life, knowing that he was her biological elder brother, he naturally protected her as his biological sister.

Xie Guimo shook his head and laughed, "It's just a small matter, don't bother your elder brother, I'll send someone to do it for you."

Shen Tang nodded, and she gently pushed Xie Guimo away, "Let me go, I'll pour you some tea."

Xie Guimo shook his head, "I'm not thirsty."

I haven't been here for several days, and I just want to hold her quietly like this.

But even a hug seemed like a luxury. Then, there was a knock on the window, and the secret guard said outside the window, "Master, the emperor is looking for you."

Xie Guimo was so depressed.

Did the emperor do it on purpose? He didn't come to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but the emperor didn't look for him. He just came and he looked for him right after.

"I see."

He said he knew, but he didn't leave. Shen Tang said, "The Emperor is looking for you. Don't make him wait anxiously..."

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.

When she was completely limp from the kiss, Xie Guimo let her go. "Then I'll leave. If you need anything, let Chen Shan find me."

Shen Tang glared at him with a red face, and Xie Guimo walked away with a smile.

Shen Tang was glad that the maid was not in the room, otherwise she would be so embarrassed if she saw it. After sitting down, Shen Tang thought that it was because the maid was not there that the bastard kissed her so unscrupulously.

Next time you come, don’t let the maid go out.

Shen Tang felt relieved that Xie Guimo had sent someone to help her redeem Chunlan. There was still half of the book left to read, so Shen Tang picked it up and continued reading.

However, after reading only two pages, a familiar voice suddenly came, "What have you been doing these days?"

It was Xie Guimo's voice.

The news suddenly spread, giving Shen Tang a fright.

She glanced up and saw someone who was supposed to go to the palace to see the emperor appear by the window. He had a rash on his face and was scratching his neck.

Shen Tang was stunned.

Symptoms of past lives.

appeared again.
