In the backyard manor of the Qi family's old house, Tang Yuanxi was leading lotus picking, and Sister Caiwei was preparing to visit her sister-in-law Lin Jinqian.
I was depressed all day long in the palace, and it was only when I returned to my parents' home that I felt completely relieved.
I walked slowly towards the familiar courtyard for a while, and when I arrived at the corner of a secluded courtyard, I suddenly heard a conversation coming from inside.
Stopping and listening, she recognized the voice of her brother Tang Ru. She looked hesitantly at the maid next to her, with a look of resentment on her face.
This girl clearly said that her brother was not at home, so why did she hear his voice again.
Just as he was about to scold him, he was attracted by the conversation in the room:
"Young Master, I am ready. Today is the day to welcome the God of Wealth. Everywhere in the city is immersed in a comfortable and festive atmosphere. It is a good time to kill King Pingning. I expect that King Pingning will not do anything.
Be on guard.”
"Very good, Tang Li, you will lead our tribe to the south gate of Prince Pingning's Mansion and guard the west gate to prevent King Pingning from leaving the city to ask for help. Lord Sili and I will personally lead the officers of Sili Mansion to enter the palace to capture King Pingning. This time
I will make the poor man kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, in order to vent the humiliation of Changning County."
Hearing that her brother was going to kill her husband, Tang Yuanxi turned pale with fright. She quickly stopped the maid who was about to scream, but she was still a step too late. There was a burst of scolding in the room: "Who is eavesdropping outside?"
Tang Yuanxi, Caiwei, and Cailian worked together to knock out the maid who was leading the way. In a panic, she remembered that there was a dog hole in the courtyard, and knowing that Lin Jinxiao didn't like collecting lotus, she quickly whispered to Caiwei: "Follow this road until you arrive.
It's by the courtyard wall, where you can leave the palace. You should quickly return to the palace and report to His Highness, asking him to be wary of my brother."
"Princess Princess."
Caiwei heard the sound of the door opening and seemed at a loss.
"Go quickly."
Tang Yuanxi pushed her away half-heartedly, and then signaled to Cai Lian: "Follow me in and hold my brother back."
Cai Lian gritted her teeth and just took a step forward with Tang Yuan Xi when she saw Tang Ru and Tang Li brothers leading Kang Xiu out.
"Yuan Xi, why did you come to my study instead of looking for your sister-in-law?"
When Tang Ru saw that it was his sister, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked angrily.
"Brother, something happened in Beijing? Why did you want to kill my husband?"
Tang Yuanxi suppressed the panic in her heart and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Princess, you can't get involved in this matter."
Kang Xiu knew in his heart that she had some affection for King Pingning, so he patiently persuaded her: "You can stay at the young master's house with peace of mind today and wait for our return."
"He is my husband, how can I just watch you murder him?"
Tang Yuanxi argued hard based on reason.
"Your husband?"
Tang Ru sneered and shook his head: "Yuan Xi, I think you are confused. You regard him as your husband, but has he ever regarded you as your wife?"
He sighed full of ridicule: "Don't be stupid, my stupid sister, after I get rid of him, my brother will find a suitable husband for you."
"No, brother, I won't let you hurt him no matter what you say today."
Tang Yuanxi mustered up the courage to open her arms and stop a few people who were about to continue walking out.
"Tang Yuanxi, when I asked you to marry into Prince Pingning's palace, I didn't ask you to protect him but to monitor him."
Tang Ru lost all his patience, with a fierce light in his eyes, and scolded sternly.
"But brother, you also promised me not to hurt him."
Faced with his aggressive momentum, Tang Yuanxi had no intention of giving in.
"This time, that time, now he must die."
Tang Ru waved his hand to Tang Li impatiently: "Take the princess down and ask someone to take care of her. You must not let her step out of the house today."
Seeing that she had no choice, Tang Yuanxi decisively grabbed the sword from Tang Li's waist, put it on his neck, and threatened forcefully: "If the elder brother dares to go to Prince Pingning's palace today, the younger sister will die in front of you."
"Want to die? What's so difficult about that?"
Tang Ru smiled conspiratorially, and without hesitation he drew out his sword, and the sharp blade pierced directly into her abdomen.
"Brother."
"Princess Princess."
This scene stunned everyone around him.
Before Cai Lian could react, she saw a sharp sword going straight into her chest and she immediately fell to the ground.
"Brother."
Tang Yuanxi never expected that her brother, who had always doted on her, would be cruel to her. She stared at him in despair. The hand holding the sword gradually relaxed, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang, and she fell down helplessly.
.
"Brother, she is your biological sister. The general and aunt know this."
Tang Li went up to help Tang Yuanxi in a panic, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.
Tang Ru gritted his teeth and scolded Kang Xiu: "What are you doing here? Why don't you quickly call someone to chase the escaped girl back?"
At this point, Kang Xiu did not dare to say anything more and hesitantly answered the call and left.
Lin Jinqian, who rushed over after hearing the sound, saw Tang Yuanxi lying in a pool of blood. She was so frightened that she shouted: "Yuanxi."
He rushed forward, looked at her bleeding lower abdomen, and cursed in a painful voice: "Tang Ru, you beast, you are so insane, how can you bear to kill your own sister?"
"Good luck keeping an eye on the princess."
Tang Ru was too lazy to pay attention and took a step forward indifferently. However, after taking only two steps, he found that the sole of his foot seemed to be caught by something.
When he turned around, he found that Tang Yuanxi was holding his thigh tightly with both hands and refused to let go. He was so angry that he kicked her hard in anger.
After a long stalemate, Tang Yuanxi finally lost the strength and could no longer bear the pain all over her body. Her hands, which were dirty and red from being stepped on, slowly spread out.
Tang Ru was so anxious at this time that he didn't want to look at the two sisters again, put away his sword and left in a hurry.
"Yuan Xi."
Lin Jinqian had already burst into tears. She hugged the dying Tang Yuanxi and shouted hysterically: "Hold on, my sister-in-law will go find a doctor for you right now."
They had grown up together since childhood, and knew that the queen mother owed her to her aunt. She loved this cousin the most, but now she was killed by her husband. She felt regretful for a moment, and couldn't help but hate that she should not have made the decision to kill this little girl in the first place.
Sent to Prince Pingning's Mansion.
Tang Yuanxi opened her eyes slightly, staring closely at Lin Jinqian who had suffered a broken heart, as if she saw Lin Jinxiao right in front of her. Crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she raised her left hand tremblingly. She tried her best to open her mouth and said slowly: "Live alive."
I hope you will be well and live well."
Later, he lay in Lin Jinqian's arms and died.
"Yuan Xi."
Lin Jinqian was heartbroken, but vaguely heard a noise coming from the yard.
Hearing the news, he went to see Lin Bo, the second uncle of the Lin family. The Tan family and his wife rushed in noisily with some clan members.
Now that Tang Ru has lost power, her restaurant has lost business, and all the money and gifts sent by county officials have been confiscated. Recently, she has noticed that there is an inexplicable lack of money in her house. She is already distressed. This old woman is still thinking about it.
Gu Yin came to my door again and again to disgust me, as if he didn't take me seriously.
She angrily picked up the sword on the ground and said angrily: "You stinky bitch, I am not in the mood to make trouble with you today. If you continue to be stubborn, I will kill you immediately."
"Hey, isn't this Princess Yuanxi?"
Mrs. Tan glanced at Tang Yuanxi, who was in despair. She didn't know what had happened. She felt sorry for her tens of thousands of taels of silver, and she had to give an explanation to her relatives who had bought shares from her second wife, so she had no choice but to say: "Princess Yuanxi
Why did you wipe your neck when you were so good?"
Seeing that Lin Jinqian refused to pay attention to her, she took advantage of the prominent status of the Luyangang clan and continued with courage: "People cannot be resurrected after death. Your Highness, the princess, expresses my condolences, but no matter what, the princess cannot ignore her body and the hard-earned money of her clan members."
La."
"roll."
Tang Li looked at Mrs. Tan who didn't understand at all and scolded her sharply.
"Why, does General Tang still want to kill someone?"
Mrs. Tan no longer paid attention to this group of people, but as soon as she finished speaking, the sword in Lin Jinqian's hand swung directly towards her neck, causing blood to splash everywhere.
"Princess Qian, you"
Lin Bo and his relatives were stunned.
"This princess has never forced you to buy shares in the restaurant. You licked your face and brought the money to your door. Now that you have lost money, you still want me to pay you money. It's just a dream."
Lin Jinqian dropped his sword and was so disheartened that he didn't care about him. He used all his strength to pick up the bloody Tang Yuanxi and left.
Tang Li glared angrily and scolded the Lin family: "If you don't get out, labor and management will kill you all."
Lin Bo had no choice but to order his clansmen to carry Tan's body and crawl out of the Qi family's old house.
