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

Chapter 256 Change of mouth

When Shen Tang got married, Prince Duan's Mansion sent a lot of dowry. Princess Roujia was marrying Shen Tang's elder brother, who was from the same mother, so Shen Tang naturally could not be stingy with the dowry. She chose a set of gold and ruby ​​headpieces and put them in the most exquisite jewelry box.

The next day, after having breakfast and paying respects to the princess, he took Qiu Tong to Prince Duan's mansion.

Xiao Huan is marrying Princess Roujia on the 28th of this month. Today is the 24th. In four days, he will be able to attend his elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding. Shen Tang is very anxious.

Seeing the carriage of Prince Jingyang's mansion stop, the gatekeeper of Prince Duan's mansion shouted into the mansion, "Hurry up and tell the princess that the Crown Prince Jingyang's wife is here."

After shouting, he hurried down the stairs to help move the footstool, very attentively.

Shen Tang is not only the savior of Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion, but also the aunt of their princess, so they have an even closer relationship.

The maid led Shen Tang into the inner courtyard. After walking more than a hundred steps, they saw Princess Roujia coming with her maid. The closer she got to Shen Tang, the redder her face became.

Princess Roujia stepped forward, used to calling Shen Tang sister, but the words got stuck in her throat because Shen Tang said first, "I will call you sister-in-law now, it shouldn't be considered rude."

Princess Roujia's already red face turned even redder. She wanted to retort, but she was going to marry Xiao Huan in a few days. Although her wedding was imminent, she was not married after all. Could he not call her that a few days later?

Princess Roujia's face flushed. Shen Tang smiled and said, "I won't tease you anymore. This is the makeup I prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Princess Roujia took it, opened the brocade box, and saw a set of luxurious headdresses. She said, "This is too expensive..."

Shen Tang said, "I'm glad you like it. Prince Duan's Mansion gave me so many dowries. I can hardly give them away."

“…That’s different.”

The additional makeup given to her by her father and mother was a token of their love, and it was a gift between them.

But they will be sisters-in-law in the future, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly.

The two walked forward, chatting, and Princess Roujia said, "I couldn't go to the Huaihua General's Mansion for the wedding yesterday. I heard it was quite lively."

The marriage was too close, and it was not convenient for her to show up in public while she was waiting to be married. If it was half a month later, she would have asked her mother to take her there.

Shen Tang laughed and said, "It's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise there would definitely be one more drunk person."

Princess Roujia likes to drink fruit wine. Even Shen Tang can't help but drink one glass after another, let alone Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia's maid covered her mouth and laughed, "The princess said the same thing this morning."

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Today, not only Shen Tang came to bring additional dowry to Princess Roujia, but also many ladies from wealthy families, and Yun Yi came as well.

Seeing Yun Yi coming, Princess Roujia said, "I wonder if Sister Zhao will come to give me some makeup today..."

The Sister Zhao mentioned by Princess Roujia is none other than the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Xi.

Yun Yi said, "I made an appointment with her yesterday. She came to bring you some makeup today, but she hit her forehead yesterday, so I don't know if she can come..."

As they were talking, a maid came over and said, "Princess, Miss Zhao from the Minister of Works' Mansion can't come in person to give you your dowry, so she sent a maid..."

Princess Roujia exclaimed, "Ah!" "Is the injury that serious?"

Zhao Xi's maidservant said, "My lady's injuries aren't serious, but she felt embarrassed and was too ashamed to go out, so she asked me to come and see her off."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Your daughter wasn't the only one who got drunk yesterday. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

The maidservant said, "That's what I advised. Princess Roujia is only getting married once, so the young lady should come in person to give her some extra dowry. Even if the wound on her forehead doesn't heal today, it will surely heal tomorrow. At worst, it won't be too late to come to Prince Duan's mansion to drink in the princess' wedding banquet, but the young lady said she hasn't gone out these days, even with a knife at her neck..."

Yun Yi said, "She's too shameless. I'll go and persuade her later and definitely take her to your wedding with Prince Ning."

Everyone was enjoying the flowers in the garden, laughing and playing, and their laughter could be heard far away.

After staying for half an hour, Shen Tang said goodbye. Yun Yi and Shen Tang left together to save Princess Roujia from seeing them off twice.

When Yun Yi went to the Minister of Works' residence, Shen Tang said, "I won't go with you, but we can go a little way."

This section of the journey was not short, so Yun Yi left her own carriage and rode in the same carriage with Shen Tang until they stopped in front of the gate of the Minister of Works' residence.

Shen Tang did not get off the carriage. Qiu Tong got on the carriage and the servant drove the carriage away.

Qiu Tong lifted the carriage curtain to look outside. As she looked, she wondered, "What is Prince Duan doing standing outside the courtyard wall of the Minister of Works' residence?"

"Did you see it wrong?"

The Prince Duan’s Mansion is very busy with the wedding of their daughter. The Prince Duan is not in the mansion to help, so why is he here?

Qiu Tong said, "It's Prince Duan. I wasn't mistaken."

Qiu Tong lifted the curtain higher. Shen Tang looked in the direction of Qiu Tong's finger and saw a person pacing under the courtyard wall. It could be none other than Prince Duan, Xiao Xun.

What was Xiao Xun doing outside the courtyard wall of the Minister of Works' Mansion?

Just as I was wondering, I saw Xiao Xun climbing over the wall and entering the Minister of Works' residence.

Shen Tang, "..."

Qiu Tong, "..."

Although the wall of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was almost broken by Xie Guimo, Shen Tang had never seen Xie Guimo climb over the wall, but he saw the Prince of Duan climbing over the wall.

It’s no wonder that we can play together.

Qiu Tong covered her mouth and laughed, "Could it be that Prince Duan likes Miss Zhao?"

It's possible.

but--

Shen Tang said, "If you like her, why don't you just come and propose marriage?"

The prince of Prince Duan’s mansion is asking to marry the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works’ mansion, there is no way it will fail.

Moreover, Xiao Xun was clearly hesitating whether to climb over the wall to get in, otherwise he would not have been staying outside the wall of the Minister of Works' Mansion and been caught by them.

And Zhao Xian, she didn't go to Prince Duan's Mansion to give Princess Roujia extra dowry, but only asked her maid to deliver it. Could it be related to Xiao Xun?

The carriage drove away, and Qiu Tong lowered the curtain. When passing through a busy street, she raised it again until the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Prince Jingyang's Mansion.

After Qiu Tong got off the carriage, she helped Shen Tang down. The gatekeeper came forward and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is back. News just came that the Emperor has appointed the Fourth Master of the Pingyuan Marquisate as a Doctor of the Ministry of War..."

Shen Tang, “…???”

Qiu Tong, “…???”

Shen Tang thought he was hallucinating. "The Emperor appointed my fourth uncle as a doctor in the Ministry of War? How is that possible?"

Seeing Shen Tang’s surprise and look of disbelief, the gatekeeper was stunned.

How is it impossible? Isn't the Crown Princess helping her fourth uncle and the fourth master to fight for the position of doctor in the Ministry of War? The rumor spread in the mansion a few days ago. This should be something the Crown Princess expected. Why does it feel so strange?

Shen Tang had lied to the Fourth Madam in this way, but she didn't think her Fourth Uncle could really sit in that position. She didn't ask the princess to help ask the prince to recommend him, and she didn't even mention it in front of Xie Guimo.

Just help get things done like this?
