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

Chapter 381 Background

Ginkgo Qiutong nodded repeatedly.

Being able to follow the Crown Prince's wife in this life must be a blessing from their previous life.

The shopkeeper took out the wedding dress, and Shen Tang said, "You two go try it on."

Qiu Tong was a little confused. "Didn't you buy it for Ginkgo? Why is this servant trying it?"

Shen Tang said, "You are a few months older than Ginkgo. Don't you want to get married?"

Ginkgo and Qiutong are both her maids, and Shen Tang treats them equally. Since she came here today to prepare a dowry for Ginkgo, she might as well prepare Qiutong's as well. In the future, when her belly gets heavy, she won't be able to leave the house. After the child is born, she's afraid that she won't be able to leave the house. So she prepared it together to save herself the trouble.

Qiu Tong, "..."

She hadn't even gotten engaged yet, but the Crown Prince's wife was already preparing a dowry for her.

Could she say that she only wanted to be with the Crown Prince's wife for the rest of her life and didn't want to get married?

Qiu Tong opened her mouth to speak, but was pulled away by Ginkgo to try on her wedding dress.

If she could resist, she wouldn't have to get married. Thinking that Qiutong would also be getting married soon, Ginkgo suddenly resisted.

If she tries harder, maybe Qiu Tong will be able to marry her one day.

Soon the two maids came out wearing wedding gowns. It must be said that wedding gowns are the most beautiful things in the world. Even if they are ordinary and without complicated patterns, they are still extremely beautiful.

Moreover, the shop owner knew how to do business. Although it was a ready-made clothing store, it also had phoenix crowns. Shen Tang picked one for each of them. When they put on the phoenix crowns, it looked more like the real thing.

"Bought them all."

The shopkeeper couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Tang was choosing fabric again. Xie Guimo called Chen Qi in to try on the groom's wedding gown. Then Shen Tang was in trouble. He didn't know where the other groom was.

We can only wait until Qiu Tong’s marriage is decided and let him buy it himself.

As Shen Tang was thinking this, Yin Xing whispered in her ear, "Prince's Consort, Qiu Tong likes Chen Shan..."

Shen Tang looked at Ginkgo, "Are you sure?"

Ginkgo said, "A few days ago, Chen Shan's clothes were torn, and it was Qiu Tong who patched them up."

They are the maids of the Crown Prince's wife and would not do such things casually, especially mending clothes for men, which is even more unusual.

Shen Tang laughed and said, "Let Chen Shan come in and give it a try."

Qiu Tong's face flushed, "Crown Princess..."

Ginkgo said, "The Crown Prince's wife hasn't arranged a marriage for you yet. She just asked Chen Shan to help give it a try. Why are you stopping her?"

Qiu Tong had teased her before, and now she finally had the chance to return the favor.

Just trying it on, Qiu Tong had no reason to stop him. Chen Qi quickly called Chen Shan in, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "These wedding dresses look like they were tailor-made for you two. They fit you perfectly."

Chen Shan felt uncomfortable all over. He had no emotions even when killing people, but his face was burning with anger.

I bought a bunch of cloth in the shop, and the shopkeeper's old face was so wrinkled with smile.

After leaving the shop, she went to the rouge shop to buy rouge for the two maids, and then picked out jewelry. She bought a lot of jewelry, and she felt that the ginkgo and qiu tung she bought were too much.

Shen Tang bought at least 30% more than she had planned. The maids she trusted most were Ginkgo and Qiutong, plus Si'er. Of course, she had to pamper her own maids as much as possible, after all, getting married was a lifelong thing.

After shopping for more than half an hour, I finally bought everything I wanted. As for the things I missed, I had to go back and ask Zhou's mother to buy them for me.

Tired, Shen Tang and Xie Guimo took a carriage back home.

When they returned to Prince Jingyang's Mansion, it happened that the princess had just returned from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Seeing that they had just returned at this time, the princess was really worried that Shen Tang would be tired.

And Shen Tang’s belly, anyone who saw it would think she was eight months pregnant. There were some things that needed to be reminded to Mo’er.

Xie Guimo happened to have something to ask the princess. When they reached a deserted place, he sent the maids away and asked the princess, "Tang'er and I read those letters. Concubine Ye's personality seems to be quite different from the person who wrote them."

The princess laughed, "How can a girl like me compare to the emperor's favorite concubine? My mother's personality is different from before."

Although her relationship with Concubine Ye had become distant, the princess did not think there was anything wrong.

Apparently the princess misunderstood and thought they were talking differently.

Shen Tang asked, "Mother, when Concubine Ye came to the capital after General Ye's death, did you feel the same way about Concubine Ye, with whom you exchanged letters?"

This question stumped the princess. She shook her head and said, "Not quite the same."

She once said that her cousin was different from what she had imagined. Concubine Ye's eyes immediately turned red. She asked her if she didn't like herself now. She also wanted to go back to her carefree self.

Hearing the princess's guilt, her temperament had changed a lot since the prince took Concubine Jiang. She was even more heartbroken after her father and brother died in the battlefield. Concubine Ye was still young when she lost her parents, which must have hurt her even more. It was normal that she was not as lively as she thought.

Shen Tang had already suspected that Concubine Ye was fake, and after hearing Concubine Ye's words that made the princess feel guilty, this feeling became even stronger.

The words in those letters clearly showed a quick-witted nature, not such a veiled threat. Besides, even if a person changes like this, his underlying character will not change.

The princess asked, "Why are you so interested in Concubine Ye's youth?"

Xie Guimo didn't say anything, and neither did Shen Tang.

The princess didn't take it to heart. She called Xie Guimo a few steps away and gave him some instructions.

Shen Tang stood aside and watched, blinking again and again. After the princess finished her instructions, she said, "You've been tired all day. Go back and have a good rest."

Shen Tang nodded, and the princess left.

After the princess left, Shen Tang asked, "What did mother say to you that you didn't want me to hear?"

"It's not a good thing," Xie Guimo said with a look on his face that said I don't want to hear it at all.

But Shen Tang was even more curious, "What on earth is it?"

Xie Guimo said, "My mother said that although your belly is not seven months pregnant, it is too big, so she asked me to move to the study."

Shen Tang, "..."

The princess was not being distant with Shen Tang, but she knew that Shen Tang was shy and didn't say it to her face.

Shen Tang left with a red face.

Shen Tang was indeed tired today. After returning home, he washed his face and went to bed.

She slept until the sun set, and it was Ginkgo Qiutong who woke her up. After dinner, Xie Guimo went to the study to read. Chen Qi went to pour him tea, but there was no tea, so he came in carrying a quilt and pillow.

Chen Qi said, "Master, the Crown Princess has asked you to sleep in the study from now on."
