After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Why did the royal family hold autumn hunting and spring hunting every year? In fact, it was also a form of training.

To survive in the deep mountains and forests, you need to rely entirely on your own vigilance and survival skills.

If you are not careful, you will become a meal for wild beasts.

Only when people are under the pressure of wanting to survive can they unleash their potential.

After the baptism of life, people will grow up rapidly.

Xiao Minshen nodded in appreciation and walked out the door.

Shen Yunjin shook his head. It was really not easy to be a prince.

It's already midnight and we still have to talk about business.

It seemed that tonight, she would sleep alone again.

"Mo Yi, the concubine said that you took Yang Liu into the mountains?"

Xiao Minshen was thinking about the plan in his mind while asking Mo Yi who was standing in front of the desk.

"Yes, Master. No one has been in the mountain for many years. I noticed there were ferocious beasts, so I took Yang Liu for a walk around the outskirts."

"Oh? Very big?" Xiao Minshen was a little curious about the deep mountains that even Mo Yi could only wander around the periphery.

"It's very big, and when night falls, a kind of smoke rises from the mountain. I don't know if it's poisonous?"

"Local villagers said that people who went into the mountains before were either killed by wild beasts or went crazy. I suspect it was because of the smoke."

If he hadn't brought Yang Liu with him at that time, Mo Yi would have really wanted to go in and find out what was going on.

The smoke is poisonous? Then don't go in rashly. Don't play with your life.

Xiao Minshen tapped the table with his fingers and began to think.

"Just at night? What about during the day?"

"Not during the day, and the little one went in there. The temperature inside is slightly lower than outside, but there is no other difference."

"First, you must gather ninety people and divide them into three teams. Each team has thirty people, and one person will lead the team. You will enter the mountain at 12:00 a.m. and leave at 12:00 p.m."

"Among the three teams, the team that hunts the highest quantity and quality of prey will be the winner."

Xiao Minshen tapped his fingers, "If anyone asks, just say it's hunters from other places who came here to hunt."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mo Yi disappeared excitedly.

He had long wanted to go in and take a look. As a man, the more dangerous the place, the more curious he would be.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even if there is an ice basin in the room, it still feels hot.

After Shen Yunjin finished writing the big characters, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and sticky.

"Master, Aunt Li brought a message saying that she has something to discuss with you." Hongliu replied through the curtain.

"Is there anything you want to talk about?" Shen Yunjin put down the brush in his hand.

"No, it seems that there is nothing unusual in the way people speak."

"Go to the second gate and ask the driver to wait. I need the carriage right away."

Shen Yunjin washed her hands and simply cleansed her face, feeling much refreshed.

"Jinzhi, I remember that the palace gave us a few pieces of light silk gauze as a reward a few days ago. Please pick a few pieces and take them with you."

Ever since the emperor knew that the Prince of Qi's Mansion had to sell off things in its mansion in order to make a living, he began to reward him with gifts every now and then.

Sometimes, it is new fabric, sometimes, it is a piece of jade.

The reasons are similar, because he is the emperor's grandson.

Of course, these rewards were bestowed secretly by the emperor.

Otherwise, Shen Yunjin would probably have been invited to have tea by the ladies in the palace.

Now the produce of the mansion is all put for sale in agricultural product shops. There are places selling all these things there, so it doesn't seem out of place.

When Aunt Li saw Shen Yunjin coming back with a lot of bags, her eyes turned red.

"Why are you taking it from the mansion again? Does the prince know? Now your father has been promoted again, and Auntie doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't take it next time."

Shen Yunjin held Aunt Li's hand affectionately and was very happy.

"Dad got promoted again? Isn't that too fast?"

Mr. Shen has been working in his previous fourth-rank position for a long time, and now, in just a few months, he has been promoted again?

"Your father's superior was transferred and recommended him to the emperor. He is now a fourth-rank official."

Speaking of this, Aunt Li was also very happy.

"Aunt, is this why you asked me to come back? If I had known, I would have prepared a gift for my father."

Shen Yunjin teased with a smile.

Aunt Li hesitated to speak.

"Aunt, did the Madam give you a hard time?"

Shen Yunjin hurriedly took Aunt Li's hand and looked her up and down.

"That's not the case, it's just that Madam suggested taking Che'er to her room to raise him."

"Wasn't she planning to give birth to her own child? Why did she suddenly want to adopt Che'er?"

"Madam took several doses of medicine but to no avail. I heard that it was Nanny Shen who suggested that she take Che'er over, saying that she could take care of the baby."

"Does father know?" Shen Yunjin frowned.

"Your father has been very busy these days after his promotion and has not come to the backyard. I have no chance to tell him."

"Mrs. Shen came this morning and told me to pack Che'er's clothes and send them over this afternoon. Auntie couldn't find anyone to discuss this with, so she had to tell you to come over."

Shen Yunjin wondered, could it be that Mrs. Shen discovered that she was infertile?

It doesn't look like that. If she found out, she would just grab Che'er away.

But no matter what the result is, it's not good.

"Jin'er, I only have Che'er left now, and I don't want Che'er to leave my side."

Aunt Li started to cry.

Shen Yunjin was taken away from her family when she was young and was abused by Madam Shen.

Does that mean her brother has to go through the same pain again?

Shen Yunjin also recalled that when she was little, Mrs. Shen took it out on her because she registered the property under her name.

On weekdays, they were given leftovers, and the servants were even more hypocritical.

The most hateful thing is that the cotton-padded jackets in winter are stuffed with reed flowers. They look thick, but they are actually not warm at all.

It was common to be punished by kneeling if you said something wrong. If you did something wrong, you would be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, be slapped on the hands, or copy books... Anyway, there were endless ways to deal with it.

She remembered one winter morning when she went to pay her respects, Madam Shen punished her by making her kneel in the snow for an hour because Shen Yunchu complained that she was walking too slowly and blocking the road.

She was so hungry and cold that she fainted in the snow. She was rescued only because of Aunt Li, who received the letter and secretly ran to ask for help from Shen's father.

That year, she was only ten years old and survived a high fever for three days and three nights.

It was also that year that she fell ill and caught a cold.

Because of this, she later had a miscarriage, and she always thought it was a problem with her body.

Therefore, he always felt guilty towards Zhao Jingyan and wanted to make up for it with everything he had.

Mrs. Shen always held her hand with a smile and said, "Remember, mother is doing this for your own good. You must remember her kindness and know how to repay her in the future."

When she was young, she didn’t understand and actually thought that Mrs. Shen was doing this for her own good.

When she grew up, she realized that there is a kind of person in this world called "smiling tiger".

The past that Shen Yunjin thought he had forgotten flooded back into his mind like a tide.

"No, you must not give Che'er to her!" There was murderous intent in her tone.
