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

Chapter 140 Bastard

He didn't kiss her just now, and he didn't touch her hand when he kissed Yangmei, so there is no reason for her to have a rash.

Xie Guimo's eyes fell on the bayberry in the peony-colored porcelain plate on the small table and said, "Now I can conclude that it was the bayberry that caused my rash."

Shen Tang, “…???”

Can’t eat bayberry?

Shen Tang stared at Xie Guimo blankly.

Xie Guimo said, "Someone added bayberry juice to those boxes of rouge you had."

Chen Qi did not let Xie Guimo try the rouge taken away from Shen Tang. Although the rash could be cured by taking medicine, what if it hurt her body? The prince couldn't control himself and wanted to kiss the second Miss Shen, and he couldn't stop him. But there was no need to try the rouge in case it caused a rash, so he asked the secret guard to check it directly. It was found that Shen Tang's rouge had more bayberry than the normal rouge in Rouge Pavilion, and Xie Guimo couldn't be sure.

But there were already bayberries in the palace at that time, so Xie Guimo asked for a plate from the palace under the guise of Prince Duan. He wanted to interview Shen Tang in front of him, but when he arrived, Shen Tang had already eaten it.

It was just adding a little bayberry juice to the rouge, but Shen Tang's face got so many red rashes after he kissed her. He didn't dare to eat a whole one, so he just kissed her once. But just that one kiss made him so itchy that he couldn't bear it, so Shen Tang quickly brought him medicine.

Shen Tang never thought that there were people in the world who couldn't eat bayberry. Xie Guimo didn't even eat it, just a kiss was enough. If he ate a whole one, he would probably die on the spot. It was more effective than arsenic.

Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang and asked, "Did you eat bayberries when we consummated our marriage in our previous life?"

Shen Tang said without hesitation, "Empress Ye knew that I loved eating bayberries, so she had the palace send them to me almost every day. Before consummating my marriage, I ate bayberries for at least half a month, a plate a day..."

Concubine Ye!

The tribute bayberry is nine parts sweet and one part sour, and it cannot be bought outside the palace even if you have money. After she married Xie Guimo, whenever it was bayberry season and there were bayberries in the palace, Concubine Ye would give them to her. This was the case during the three years Xie Guimo was in Kyoto. She thought Concubine Ye was good to her, but she didn't expect that she wanted to use her to kill Xie Guimo.

Send her bayberries every day. If Xie Guimo gets the urge to try one one day, he won't be able to touch the bayberries at all because of his constitution. Even if one bayberry doesn't kill him, it can at least kill half of him.

But Xie Guimo didn't like eating fruits, not just bayberries. He didn't like eating any fruits at all, so he didn't even try them. But she ate so much. When they consummated their marriage, he was afraid that she was like a whole pill of poison to him. If the imperial physician hadn't been in the house that day and hadn't treated her in time, she would have died.

Thinking back to what happened that day, Shen Tang still felt a lingering fear and a chill down his spine.

Concubine Ye used a small bayberry to make her and Xie Guimo miss each other's lives, because Xie Guimo beat up the prince of Changping Marquis, and he wanted to repeat the same trick in this life!

Shen Tang's eyes were red and his body was shaking with anger.

Xie Guimo reached out and touched Shen Tang's face. His heavily calloused fingertips rubbed it, causing a slight sting. He said, "She won't succeed."

If Concubine Ye succeeds, she will never accept it even if she dies.

Xie Guimo asked, "Didn't your father-in-law ask you anything?"

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo blankly, "What did my father ask me?"

Xie Guimo touched his nose and said, "When I left your place yesterday and climbed over the wall to leave, I was caught by my father-in-law's secret guards."

Shen Tang, “……!!!”

Shen Tang's face turned red.

She did not forget that Xie Guimo had a face full of red rashes when he left yesterday.

The story of him getting a rash on his face because he kissed a girl was a hot topic in Kyoto. Yesterday, he climbed over the wall with a rash on his face and was caught by his father's men. Wasn't that telling his father that he was here to have a secret meeting with her, and even...

Shen Tang didn't dare to think about how her father would look at her. Shen Tang even wanted to beat Xie Guimo to death.

She stared at Xie Guimo with eyes burning with flames, suspecting that the rash he got because he asked to marry a girl in the Imperial Hospital that day was not only to test Shen Xi and the Second Wife, but also to prepare for proposing marriage. If she spread such rumors, when he came to propose marriage later, his father would have no choice but to agree. People outside the house would definitely spread gossip and speculate whether the girl who gave him the rash was her!

By then, if her father didn't marry her to him, no one else would come and ask for her hand in marriage.

This bastard!

When his little trick was exposed, a certain gentleman was calm and even confident, "Who else do you want to marry besides me?"

She had never thought of marrying anyone else, but she also didn't want to be criticized for having physical contact with each other before getting married, as she didn't know what people would think of them.

Shen Tang kept glaring at Xie Guimo. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ginkgo came in and said, "Miss, the Third Madam is here."

Why did the third wife come to see her?

Shen Tang's intuition told him that it was related to the housekeeper Quan.

Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo. He had originally wanted to wait until the rash on Xie Guimo's face disappeared before letting him go, but now he had no choice but to leave. Xie Guimo didn't stay any longer and got up to leave.

He jumped out of the window and Chen Qi handed him a mask. Xie Guimo took it and put it on.

Watching Xie Guimo jump out the window, Shen Tang got down from the small couch, stood up and went to greet Third Madam, saying, "How come Third Aunt has time to come and sit with me?"

Not only did the third wife come, she also brought things with her, and her daughter Shen Luo followed behind her.

Unless Shen Tang was ill, the Third Madam came to visit him. Normally, she would not come to Qingyi Garden more than twice a year. She would only come when there was something important.

After greeting each other outside the door, Shen Tang invited the Third Madam and Shen Luo into the house to talk. Upon entering, they smelled a strong medicinal smell. Shen Luo asked, "Where does this medicinal smell come from?"

Shen Tang said, "The medicine for menstrual pain needs to be taken for three months."

Shen Luo just wanted to ask. She knew that Shen Tang had the same problem as Princess Roujia, who also suffered from period pain. When Shen Tang frightened his horse that time, he was going to get some medicine.

Shen Luo entered the room and saw bayberries on the small table. She asked, "There are bayberries now?"

Several girls in the mansion like to eat bayberries, and Shen Luo is no exception. She didn't bother to be polite with Shen Tang, and sat down and took one to eat.

Shen Tang likes to eat bayberries, but he just found out that his life was ruined by this little bayberry and Xie Guimo couldn't even touch it, so his joy for bayberries was mostly gone.

It was sweet and sour, and Shen Luo loved it. "Why is it that only my second sister has bayberries here?"

Shen Tang said, "The maid went out to buy it. But Third Aunt came to see me for something?"

Shen Luo was easy to fool, but the Third Madam was not so easy to fool. Such big bayberries could not be bought on the street. However, the Third Madam did not expose her mistake. She just smiled and said, "I got a new hairpin and thought it would suit the Second Miss, so I sent it to her."

As she spoke, the maid brought the brocade box over. The Third Madam took it and opened it to show Shen Tang.

The hairpin is nice, made of jasper and bamboo, with a translucent color and is very valuable.

For someone like Third Madam, who wouldn't give away a precious hairpin until she saw the rabbit, she must have some ulterior motive. Shen Tang said with a smile, "Fourth Sister will definitely like this hairpin, so why did Third Aunt give it to me?"

The Third Wife smiled as she picked up the hairpin and inserted it into Shen Tang's bun. She said, "Yesterday, the Second Miss slapped the First Miss, and the Marquis punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall. What did the First Miss do wrong?"

Everyone in the mansion was definitely curious about this, but Shen Tang didn't believe that Third Madam would give her a jade hairpin just to find out such a small thing. Shen Tang said, "Father has issued a gag order on this matter. I'm sorry, I can't tell Third Aunt."

The Third Madam smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually. It's better not to know some things. It's just that your Fourth Aunt is having a hard time managing such a large mansion. Third Aunt has always been free, so she can help share some of the burden."
