Chapter 236 Suicide
Inside the house, Aunt Qin was leaning on the soft couch, with an oil lamp beside her, and by the light of the lamp, she was busy with needlework.

Lian'er entered the room, seeing her like this, she leaned forward and took away the needle and thread from her hand, "If the second girl sees it, she will have to call her aunt again."

She handed the needle and thread to the maid and sat at Aunt Qin's feet.

The work in her hand was gone, Aunt Qin looked at her, "Have you ever regretted it?"

Now that she's here, it means that the matter over there is over.

Lian'er shook her head, she didn't regret it at all, "These days, Miss Mei is with my aunt, and I know what happened to her."

"It's really my luck to meet our wife. Otherwise, Baobuqi will be like Miss Mei, drugged by the mistress and sold."

"Now she doesn't have to worry about being sold, what about me? I can leave the mansion in a few days and go to my wife's village in the suburbs."

"To tell you the truth, Auntie, when I was still at home, I wanted to marry a hardworking man in the future. The two of us will farm and weave, and we will raise two children."

"But later..." Lian'er sighed at this point, "Actually, I don't know what will happen in the future. Madam also said that if I want to leave, I can leave at any time."

"If you meet someone suitable in the future, if you are willing to let her know, she will help me."

"You are only so old, you will get better in the future." After listening to Lian'er, Aunt Qin smiled and comforted her. She got up from the soft couch, went to the side cabinet, and took out a small box.

"We are also destined. This thing will be given to you sooner or later, so let's give it to you now. It is my heart. I hope you will be well in the future, and take a look at the freedom outside for me."

While speaking, Aunt Qin handed over the small box in her hand to Lian Er.

Lian Er was stunned, looked at Aunt Qin, saw that she was persistent, then took it, and opened it in front of Aunt Qin.

Qin Shi is just an aunt, and there is a fixed number of monthly schedules. She is always frugal, and she often does some embroidery work, and asks the girl to take it out and sell it.

It's not that Mrs. Cui treated her harshly, but because of her mother's mind, she always wanted to save more money so that when Shen Yunjie got married in the future, she could make up for it.

Lian'er has lived in her courtyard for a while, so she naturally knows how frugal she is, but now, in the small box she gave to herself, there are two small silver ingots and a bunch of copper coins.

This is reserved for her personal use.

"Look at you, what are you doing tearfully? You were not an aunt before, and you lived in my courtyard. Madam gave you a subsidy. I just saved the money, and now I will give it to you."

Seeing her staring at her with emotion, Aunt Qin felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed and sat down again.

"I will remember how kind my sister is to me. From now on, you will be Lian'er's real sister."

Putting the small box on the table, Lian'er stood up and bowed to Aunt Qin, "My sister is here, my sister saluted you."

Aunt Qin quickly supported her, and she also recognized this younger sister.

-

With last night, there was another aunt in the second room of Shen's residence. Qin'er, who lives in Xiao Zheng's side, almost exploded with anger when she heard the news.

She didn't dare to make trouble in front of Mrs. Cui, so she wanted to come to see Aunt Qin, but Aunt Qin had already ordered her to go down, and she couldn't enter the yard at all.

At this moment, Aunt Qin took Lian'er and Miss Mei to greet Mrs. Cui.

Miss Mei's family name is Zhang, and her original name was Zhang Lamei. After she was sold by her elder brother and sister-in-law, Ren Yazi made her forget her family name, and she will be called Lamei from now on.

After marrying as a concubine, the mistress didn't ask her to use her family name, but let people call her Aunt Mei. Therefore, after she was sold again, others thought her surname was Mei.

"Since my family name is Zhang, I will be Aunt Zhang from now on, or you will be called Lamei. As for where you live..."

"Ma'am, this concubine is willing to live in the same courtyard as Sister Qin." Not long after entering the mansion, Aunt Zhang was placed in Aunt Qin's courtyard.

In this Shen residence, she is most familiar with Aunt Qin. After getting along with her for a while, she knows that Aunt Qin is quick-mouthed and soft-hearted, so she prefers to live in her courtyard.

Besides, when she and her aunt bought her back earlier, she also explained some things. She knew that Lian'er in that courtyard would leave sooner or later.

She said so, Cui Shi looked at Aunt Qin, of course Aunt Qin did not object, and the matter was settled.

With a new aunt, Shen Xu went to Aunt Qin's yard more frequently.

According to the plan, about half a month later, Lian'er pretended to be sick and moved out of Aunt Qin's courtyard, and after a few days, she reported her death.

Outsiders thought that Lian'er was dead, but in fact, she went to Cui's Zhuangzi in the suburbs in the carriage arranged by Cui.

-

"Miss Six, please rest assured that none of us have received any news of my young master's accident. Presumably, the young master is now stationed in the mountains with the team, or some place where it is inconvenient to send letters, so there is no news."

Shen Yunlan never heard from Pei Mingjing again, so Shen Yunlan was always a little worried, so she found an opportunity to ask about the people Pei Mingjing left behind in Shangdu.

The other party spoke with a smile, comforting Shen Yunlan. Shen Yunlan looked at his expression to make sure that what he said was true, and finally felt relieved.

After saying a few more words, she handed over the newly made things to the other party, and then left in the carriage. She was going to find Shen Yunjin, and today was the day to check the accounts.

The weather gradually turned cold, and in the mansion of the abandoned prince, there was a sudden news that the abandoned prince committed suicide.

In the palace, the officials had just decided on the placement of the deposed prince, and when they got such news, they couldn't bear it for a while, and staggered a few steps.

The palace people hurriedly passed on the imperial physician, and the queen hurried to the official's side. At this time, the queen was also very sad.

Although she was dissatisfied with the deposed prince, in the end he was her own son. She just thought he was not suitable to be the crown prince, but she never thought that he would die.

The second prince also got the news, he rushed to the abandoned prince's mansion to deal with some matters in the mansion.

Because of this, during the period when the abandoned prince was under house arrest, what happened to the entire abandoned prince's mansion was concealed, and it was not reported to the officials and the queen.

Just like Shen Yunjin's previous life, after the crown prince was abolished, life in the abolished prince's mansion was indeed very difficult.

Someone secretly arranged for the people in charge of guarding and supplying, because the abolished prince and the people inside couldn't get out, let alone see the official family and the empress, so no one knew that the people in the mansion were short of food and clothing, Life was very difficult.

If it weren't for this, the abolished prince would not have committed suicide in despair in anger.

He thought that even if he lived, he would not live for long, and the officials would eventually deal with him completely.

After dealing with the matter of the abolished Prince's Mansion, the second prince entered the palace, the situation of the official family stabilized, and they knew about the various matters that the second prince had dealt with in the abolished Prince's Mansion.

There are some things that both he and the queen don't know, so they agree with the second prince's actions.
