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

Chapter 239 Heirs

"Go check."

Only after Xie Guimo's instructions did Chen Qi dare to take the embroidered handkerchief and investigate the matter.

Xie Guimo stood up, put his arm around Shen Tang's waist and said, "Go and pay your respects. Did they bully you?"

Shen Tang said, "It was just a few arguments. I'm used to it."

Xie Guimo said, "Let's think about it later and see if there's a way to avoid paying respects every day."

Shen Tang also wanted to not have to visit his parents every morning and evening, but after thinking about it, he knew that the hope was slim.

The old lady is best at playing tricks. The bad guys are all the second and fourth wives. The old lady is the second wife of the old prince arranged by the late emperor. As long as it is not too excessive, the prince will not interfere. She still does not let Xie Guimo be embarrassed.

Shen Tang shook his head, "They can't do anything to me."

That's what he said, but the wife he had finally married would not be bullied by others.

Xie Guimo said, "It's not that hot today, I'll take you to the garden."

Shen Tang said, "I'm familiar with the garden."

Xie Guimo pinched Shen Tang's nose and asked, "If I'm your husband now, I don't need you to accompany me?"

"Besides, the people in the palace don't know you well. You've been married here for a few days, but I haven't helped you get familiar with the palace. It's not right."

It seemed so. The foundation of her position in Prince Jingyang's Mansion was his attention. The more Xie Guimo valued her, the more the people in the mansion dared not to treat her differently.

Shen Tang nodded slightly, and Xie Guimo took her hand and walked out of the study together.

The Jingyang Prince's Palace is magnificent. It was a mansion bestowed by Emperor Taizu. It was expanded once more by the old prince. Even the prince's palace cannot compare with it.

It was midsummer, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, colorful and dazzling, which was a feast for the eyes.

Willows sway by the lake, their branches hanging down, lightly touching the lakeside and causing ripples, like a lake of broken gold.

Although it was not that hot today, after walking for a while, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Knowing that Shen Tang was familiar with the Jingyang Palace, it was just a formality to let everyone in the Jingyang Palace know that the new princess was the apple of his eye. As for appreciating the flowers, that was secondary.

After strolling around for a while, I returned to Chenxiangxuan and Chen Qi was also back.

Xie Guimo asked, "Is there a problem?"

Chen Qi nodded, "There is a sterilizing drug in the tea."

Swish.

Almost instantly, the eyes of Shen Tang and Xie Guimo turned cold.

If it was a contraceptive drug, Shen Tang wouldn't be so angry, but she was given a sterile drug. Shen Tang felt a chill running from her heart to every part of her body.

Seeing the two men's unhappy expressions, Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Although it is a sterilizing drug, the dosage is not strong. The doctor said that with this dosage, it must be taken 20 to 30 times to achieve the sterilizing effect. One or two times will not cause that much harm."

Twenty or thirty chapters may seem like a lot, but she had to go to Wutong Courtyard to pay her respects almost every day. As long as she sat down, the maid would serve her tea. Twenty or thirty chapters only took a month.

In her previous life, she and Xie Guimo had a bad relationship, and they only mocked her with words. But in this life, they had a good relationship, and they were directly ruthless. Even if she was favored as the prince's consort, if she couldn't have children, her relationship with Xie Guimo wouldn't last long. Once he took a concubine, there would be resentment. The princess and the prince were a lesson for her.

Shen Tang's eyes turned red with anger, not to mention Xie Guimo. He and Shen Tang hadn't even consummated their marriage yet, and someone was already trying to make him childless.

Chen Qi said, "We must tell the prince about this."

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo and said, "Father can't do anything to the old lady based on the evidence on the handkerchief alone."

If she bites back, it would be like she, the Crown Prince's Consort, is causing trouble right after marrying into the family.

We have to catch them in the act and make sure they have no way to refute it.

For three consecutive days, Shen Tang went to Wutong Courtyard to pay his respects to the old lady after breakfast, then sat down to listen to the second wife and others talk for a while, drank a few sips of tea before leaving.

On this day, Shen Tang took Ginkgo to pay her respects as usual. When she arrived, the second and third wives had all arrived and were talking about the Wang family.

The Third Wife said, "I heard that the eldest young mistress of the Wang family has gone crazy, shouting that the child in her belly is the son of the Marquis of Changping..."

The statement that the Prince of Changping is lustful and harms girls everywhere is not necessarily crazy.

The Second Wife glanced at Shen Tang and said, "If she hadn't fallen into the water, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion wouldn't have married the eldest son of the Wang family. It's really sad that she ended up like this."

How did Madam Wang fall into the water?

It was because she pushed Shen Tang and Shen Tang grabbed her hand that she fell into the lake.

The Second Wife's words clearly stated that Miss Wang was the result of Shen Tang's misfortune.

Shen Tang pretended not to hear, walked forward and bowed to the old lady, then sat down.

The maid brought tea over, and the Third Madam asked curiously, "How could the Crown Prince's Consort, a lady from a wealthy family, be swimming?"

Shen Tang said, "I learned it specially. At the beginning of the year, I asked for divination at the Jokhang Temple. They said I would have a flood disaster. I spent a lot of money to interpret the divination. They said that as long as I learned how to swim, everything would be fine. I believed it was better to believe it than not, so I learned it."

This fortune was too accurate. If the Crown Prince's Consort hadn't been able to swim that day, the person rescued by Young Master Wang would have been the Crown Prince's Consort...

No, the Crown Prince also jumped into the water to save people, but because the Crown Princess could swim, his jump was in vain. Even if the Crown Princess could not swim, with the Crown Prince there, it would not be Young Master Wang's turn to save people.

Only the Crown Prince's wife escaped the flood disaster, but the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion was not so lucky.

Knowing how Shen Tang learned to swim, there was nothing more to talk about. Shen Tang served tea, and the Fourth Wife asked curiously, "Why hasn't the princess come yet?"

As she was speaking, a maid came in and said, "The princess has something to take care of. She said she'll come back later..."

The fourth wife asked, "Does the princess have any important matters to deal with?"

The maidservant said, "Madam Yun woke up this morning and suddenly couldn't move her arm. The princess was worried and asked a doctor to treat Madam Yun."

Nanny Yun is the most trusted person around the princess. She was brought into the mansion from her mother's family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and has served the princess for decades. It is normal for the princess to be anxious when Nanny Yun is sick. As for paying her respects to the old lady, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come. After all, the old lady is not the prince's biological mother. It is good enough for the princess to pay her respects to the old lady once every two days. If the princess asks for too much, the old lady will ignore it.

The old lady asked, "Madam Yun always looks good, how come she suddenly can't move her arm?"

The Second Wife said, "They say illness comes like a mountain falling, it's hard to predict..."

If it's the princess who's sick, Shen Tang has to go see her. If it's Nanny Yun who's sick, the princess will come after Nanny Yun finishes seeing the doctor, and Shen Tang doesn't have to go.

She sat there, and suddenly she reached out and scratched her neck and the back of her hands.

At first I just scratched it, but later I couldn't stop scratching it.

The third wife looked over and was startled, "You, your face..."

Shen Tang was bewildered, "What's wrong with my face?"

She looked at Ginkgo.

Ginkgo exclaimed, "Princess! Why are there so many rashes on your face?!"
