Kill me if you can (28)

As he spoke, Shen Tang deliberately stood up and twisted his body. Not only did the wound stop hurting, but even the discomfort from the old illness completely disappeared.

She didn't think she would get better for no reason. Could it be that the little lucky bag did something?

However, Xiao Fukudai only stammered, "Maybe a bug in the quick-travel game accidentally cured the host's illness. I don't know the rest."

"Really?" Shen Tang couldn't tell what was wrong, but she had no way to identify it at the moment, so she could only accept the little lucky bag's statement for now.

This quick-transmigration game gave her a lot of trouble, and the bug that affected several world missions has not yet been resolved. It is not impossible that it accidentally changed the lifespan of Jiang Jiutang's body.

Shen Tang sat back on the swing, bent his legs and swung it, but his eyes fell on the entrance to the courtyard again.

"Tangtang, look who's back!" Shen Tang didn't see Yun Sheng coming back, but saw Father Jiang, who looked very energetic. Behind her cheap father, there was a very familiar figure.

Shen Tang widened his eyes slightly. Is he finally back?

"Sister," Shen Tang looked at the face that looked exactly like her own, closed her eyes and smiled slightly. It was indeed the best thing that the real Jiang Mo came back, and the affairs of the medicine pavilion should still be handled by the original person in charge.

Jiang Mo looked at his sister who was still a little pale sitting on the swing, and couldn't help but go forward and hug her gently, "I'm sorry, Tangtang, I just heard about what happened in Beijing a few days ago. After hearing the news, I rushed home overnight, but I still arrived a little late. Don't worry, leave the next thing to me. I heard that you were injured and need to rest, so you should take good care of yourself at home during this period of time. If you need anything, just tell me."

Jiang Mo looked at his sister with heartache. If she hadn't been traveling away, his father wouldn't have let his sister temporarily take over the position of the eldest son of the Medicine Pavilion, and now she was injured.

Guiltily, she turned around and found the treasure she had brought from outside, and quickly held it in front of Shen Tang like a treasure, "Tangtang, this is a treasure I found when I was traveling outside, take a look at it, do you like it?"

Shen Tang looked at her sister who had disappeared for a long time and finally appeared in the plot, and couldn't help but smile helplessly. She looked at the things Jiang Mo brought, and was a little surprised by the items inside.

"This is..." Shen Tang's calm eyes seemed to be rippled. She reached out and picked up a sparkling diamond, then looked up at Jiang Mo, "Sister, where did you find this stone?"

How did this thing appear here? Shen Tang clenched the sparkling diamond in his hand. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find a little red in the center of the stone.

"I found this by the pond when I passed by my old home. I remember that you like shiny things, so I brought it back for you."

This was a prop she had used in this world to complete a mission, but she had forgotten what the mission was at that time. But why did this thing appear here? Shen Tang carefully put away the diamond, "Sister, can you give me this treasure?"

Seeing that his sister liked it, Jiang Mo wanted to wave his hand and give her all the things. "These were originally brought to you by my sister. If you want, take them all."

As she spoke, the woman put aside the treasures in her hands and began to talk about the interesting things she encountered during her travels. It was a rare occasion for the three of them to get together, so they talked a lot.

The three of them chatted until it got dark, and then they went back to the house to discuss business. Murong Jin is now the most likely candidate to become the next crown prince. Jiang Mo only needs to work for the crown prince as usual while Shen Tang is recovering. However, Shen Tang's injury this time made Jiang's father think carefully about the future of his two daughters. If they continue to work in the court, I am afraid that their identities will be exposed one day, and then they will be charged with deceiving the emperor. He has been running the medicine pavilion for a long time, and now that he is old, it is time for him to abdicate.

Although the Jiang family had made great contributions in the fight against the epidemic and protecting the emperor, no one could guarantee that the emperor would not change his mind in the future. Jiang's father knew very well that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. It was not good to have many contributions. It would be better to find a time to retire and return home, away from the court disputes, so that the two daughters could live in peace.

Shen Tang didn't know that Jiang's father had secretly made up his mind, he just listened to his elder sister's interesting jokes with a smile on his face, clapping and cheering from time to time. In this mission world, Jiang Mo has a generous personality. A large part of the reason why she left the Jiang family was because of the troubles in the court. Now that the storm has passed, it would be good for her to return to Murong Jin.

"Tangtang, how have you been getting along with the Third Prince during the time I've been away?"

Jiang Mo seemed to have finally remembered this old friend, and asked curiously, "Is he still thinking about the elixir of life as before?"

At this point, the two of them laughed in unison. Shen Tang had not expected that Murong Jin's inquiry about the elixir of life would be remembered by the elder sister for a long time. Although the Medicine Pavilion could make many rare medicines in the world, it did not have all kinds of medicines.

"The Third Prince treats me no differently than usual." Shen Tang didn't understand why Jiang Mo suddenly asked this question. She thought that she was worried about being discovered, so she patiently comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. You and I are sisters with one heart. His Highness won't find out."

Shen Tang said this happily, but she never expected that this day would not go as planned. A few days later, something unexpected happened.

After the three members of the Jiang family had a brief reunion, Jiang Mo took over the responsibility from Shen Tang and returned to the position of "Jiang Mo", contacting Murong Jin to solve the remaining problems. Shen Tang stayed at home to recuperate, and occasionally accepted the delicacies brought by Yun Sheng from different places to feed him.

Only 5% of the bias was left, and Shen Tang originally thought that it would disappear easily. However, in fact, this 5% took Shen Tang half a month and did not disappear at all. She was so angry that she would nag the male protagonist in front of Xiao Fudai from time to time.

"What's wrong with Yun Sheng? I'm not dead yet and I don't need him to redeem my sins. I've even sold my body to him, so why can't he lower his bias? Or does he not like me at all? His bias is naturally none of my business?"

Shen Tang's tone gradually became gloomy after having this suspicion, and scared Xiao Fukudai so much that he just got up from the main system and was about to frantically explain for the male protagonist, "Host, don't think too much. There is no female protagonist in this world, and the male protagonist will not always like someone. Maybe he hasn't realized his feelings yet?"

"Thoughts?" Shen Tang snorted coldly. She saw that Yun Sheng had been avoiding her for the past few days. Even after seeing Jiang Mo come back and knowing her current identity as Jiang Jiutang, she still disappeared without a trace. Shen Tang felt that her good temper was about to be worn out.

"Miss, Miss, go back quickly!"

Shen Tang was leaning nonchalantly on a rattan chair in the yard, her long hair falling softly on her shoulders, when she saw Lu Ya running into the house in a panic and asking her to go back.

"What's wrong, Lu Ya? Why are you so flustered?" Shen Tang put away his gloomy expression and looked at his maid with a gentle expression.

Lu Ya then hurriedly explained: "It's the Third Prince. The Third Prince has come to the palace. Miss, please go back to your room quickly. It will be bad if the Third Prince sees you!"

However, before she could finish her words, a figure slowly walked into the gate of the courtyard.

This was not the first time Murong Jin had entered the Jiang residence. Seeing that his brother Mo was busy today, he planned to send some gifts to the Jiang family and visit the old master. However, the servants in the residence seemed to think that he was going to see someone else, so the route he took was a little different from the previous one.

Murong Jin's gaze was still wandering around, looking at this unfamiliar courtyard, until he heard the maid's call, he slowly turned his gaze to the girl sitting on the rattan chair in the courtyard.

The girl with a face as white as the moon looked at him in astonishment with her watery eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows. Her thin lips parted slightly and she almost cried out in surprise. Murong Jin looked at the girl in front of him who looked exactly like Jiang Mo in surprise, and a hint of imperceptible joy flashed across his brows.

How come this person looks so similar to Brother Mo and lives in the Jiang family?

It’s not that Murong Jin hadn’t heard that Old Jiang had a son and a daughter, but it was always said that the daughter of the Jiang family was weak, and he had never seen the old master take anyone out of the house. Could this person be the legendary young lady of the Jiang family?

"This is..."

The servant realized that he had taken the wrong path and could only hurriedly rescue him: "Your Highness, this is Miss Jiang. She is weak. Your Highness, please follow me to the master's place."

Murong Jin did not seem satisfied with this answer, and soon turned his gaze to the maid who was standing with her back turned to Shen Tang. The little maid was shaking, as if she did not dare to look at Murong Jin.

"Turn around."

It was not until Murong Jin's voice was heard that Lu Ya had to lower her head and turn around, fearing that Murong Jin would recognize her.

"Aren't you Brother Mo's maid? Why are you here?" Murong Jin's eyes moved back and forth between Lu Ya and the girl who suddenly appeared. "Why aren't you following Brother Mo? Instead, you're here serving your young lady?"

Lu Ya swallowed her saliva and said, "Your Highness, the young master and the young lady have a good relationship, so I will naturally come to take care of the young lady more often."

"Oh?" Murong Jin slowly approached Shen Tang, and finally stopped in front of her. He suddenly leaned over and carefully examined the girl's face. She was as pretty as a peach, not much different from her brother. Thinking of the throbbing heart that Jiang Mo had brought him, Murong Jin's mind could not help but move.

"Miss Jiang, would you be willing to take me to visit the Jiang Mansion?"

Murong Jin stayed in front of her for a long time without moving. Shen Tang almost thought that he recognized her. She breathed a sigh of relief only after hearing Murong Jin's question.

She couldn't let the other party discover her true identity.
