Tang Suyan had just come out of the shop selling hairpin rings when she suddenly felt cold all over and couldn't help but sneeze.
She sniffed in confusion.
Could it be that I'm catching a cold?
But then she thought about it. She had bought so many beautiful clothes and hairpins with the banknotes she had just picked up, so she didn't care whether she was sick or not.
Three hundred taels of silver notes, only one hundred taels left to spend.
As soon as she got home, she gave all the remaining money to her mother.
Mrs. Lin will definitely praise her for being sensible.
Thinking of this, Tang Suyan walked extremely briskly.
She is just lucky and can pick up money while walking on the street!
However, Tang Suyan didn't notice it at all.
There were several men wearing ordinary clothes, scattered in an inconspicuous corner behind her, staring at Tang Suyan's back with dark eyes.
They are habitual thieves in the neighborhood.
I just heard that a wealthy lady came to Wing On Street to buy things.
So they followed.
The jewelry and hairpins that Tang Suyan bought cost a hundred taels of silver.
These people immediately locked the target.
They followed the unaware Tang Suyan to the outside of Tang's house.
Several people looked at each other and decided to steal again after dark.
…
The next day.
A low-key carriage stopped outside Tang Mansion.
The Eighth Prince came down and asked two attendants to carry a large box. The guards were about to step forward to report to the concierge.
However, they saw Tang Yiwan holding up her skirt and walking out hurriedly with her maid.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have to go out for something urgent.
As soon as the eighth prince Gu Zilan saw her, his starry eyes smiled brightly. He put his hands behind his hands and greeted her grandly: "Miss Tang."
Tang Yiwan was stunned: "Your Highness, why are you here?"
The Eighth Prince said without changing his expression: "I heard that Mrs. Tang is ill, and my sister asked me to bring some medicinal materials to you. I hope Ling Ci will recover soon."
Tang Yiwan turned his eyes and took a look.
A box that big is enough for a person. How many medicinal materials should be brought?
She quickly thanked her and said, "Thank you so much for your consideration, Your Highness the Princess and Your Highness Eighth. Originally, I should have invited Your Highness to have tea with me as a token of my gratitude, but now there is something urgent at home and I have to go to the government office."
The Eighth Prince frowned: "What happened? Can I help?"
Tang Yiwan paused, and then told the Eighth Prince exactly what happened last night.
She sighed: "My sixth sister, Tang Suyan, whom Your Highness has met, was killed by bandits in her home last night..."
Yesterday at midnight, a few thieves sneaked into the house next to the main house of Tang Mansion in the dark.
Since Mr. Tang was dismissed from his post, the number of nursing staff at home has also been reduced.
The thieves successfully reached the backyard and entered Tang Suyan's room, intending to steal something and leave.
However, the sentry was discovered by Mr. Tang who had woken up at night!
The young master who kept talking about wanting to take the martial arts exam was wounded by thieves on guard, and a cut deep enough to the bone was cut on his arm!
Young Master Tang shouted for help, and Tang Suyan was awakened by the noise.
When she opened her eyes, she found a thief looking through her makeup box in the house.
Suddenly he screamed.
The thief came over and wanted to knock her unconscious, but Tang Suyan struggled and resisted frantically.
So, the thief made a mistake and plunged the dagger into her neck. Tang Suyan didn't even have time to say anything, so she fell into a pool of blood and died.
Several thieves wanted to escape, but several sons of the Tang family and the guardian came around to fight with them.
Unexpectedly, several young masters were injured to varying degrees.
