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

Yang Liu brought Miss Shu in and pushed her to the ground.

Jinzhi walked to Shen Yunjin's side and whispered, "I have already asked someone to bury the maid properly."

Shen Yunjin nodded, "Take fifty taels of silver from my pocket and send it to her family to comfort them."

Jinzhi glanced at the King of Qi sitting next to her with an indescribable look.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yunjin noticed that something was wrong with her.

"The maid who was bitten to death was the prince's concubine Lian'er."

Shen Yunjin looked at King Qi Xiao Minshen, and Xiao Minshen put down the teacup in his hand.

His face was as white as ice and snow in winter. "Why did you happen to be in the garden?"

Shu Meiren trembled and immediately started crying in grievance.

"When I have nothing to do, I always go for a walk in the garden. Your Majesty, you can ask the maidservants around me."

"Then why did you choose to take the tree-lined path instead of the main road?"

"I often walk along that path and have never encountered a snake..."

"Your Majesty, if I knew there were snakes there, I would not dare to go there even if I had a hundred courages!"

Lady Shu knelt on the ground, crying loudly.

"Fulu, take the man away and lock him up. Let Mo Yi investigate what's going on."

After Shen Yunjin and the others had left, she hesitantly asked, "Do I need to intervene in the affairs of Lian'er's parents?"

Xiao Minshen lowered his head and spoke after a while.

"She is an orphan, a maid that my mother left for me."

"One New Year's Eve, the palace gave away cakes for the festival. I don't like sweet food, so I gave them to her."

"She only ate two or three bites before she started spitting out blood. I was terrified at the time, but she smiled and consoled me, saying it was a good thing that she was the one eating."

"Later, the doctor came to see me and said that fortunately I didn't eat much, and after inducing vomiting and taking medicine, I was able to survive."

"But, since then, I can no longer do rough work."

"I will promote her to be my concubine."

Shen Yunjin was not impressed by this concubine.

When Ning Ruyan was around, the concubines didn't even have the qualifications to pay respects.

When she met housekeeper Shen Yunjin, she exempted her concubines and maids from paying respects except for necessary matters.

As for Tongfang Lian'er, she never came out unless she was summoned.

Shen Yunjin didn't know yet that there was such a past between her and the King of Qi.

"Then I will ask Jinzhi to buy a better coffin and bury her properly."

"No need. Your previous arrangement is good enough. If it's too good, it might ruin her luck."

Xiao Minshen's eyes darkened.

Lian'er died, and one of the memories his mother left him was missing.

Mo Yi moved quickly. He was now telling Xiao Minshen what he had found out.

"Lady Shu goes to the pond to feed the fish every day, and she happened to run into the young master that day."

"I found out that Lady An's personal maid had been there, but when Lady Shu and the others went there, she had already left."

Xiao Minshen tapped the table with his fingers unconsciously.

"Bring that maid and Lady An here."

"Yes."

Soon, Mo Yi brought the person over.

When Lady An walked into the room and saw Xiao Minshen, she immediately threw herself at his feet.

"My Lord, I am innocent!"

Xiao Minshen looked down at her, "Oh? Tell me what you mean, and I'll tell you how you can be wronged."

Lady An paused, and then she began to sob.

"What did I do wrong that the prince would treat me like this?"

"Fulu, drag that maid out for me to beat!"

When the maid heard this, she kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Fulu dragged the man directly into the yard, tied him to a bench, and then the guards started beating him with boards.

In the room, one could hear the maid crying and the sound of a board hitting flesh.

Lady An knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Are you going to recruit it yourself, or are you going to try it later?"

Lady An raised her head and saw Xiao Minshen staring at her with a pair of deep eyes.

"Your Highness...would like me to do...what?" she asked stutteringly.

"What do you think? An, Mei, Ren!" Xiao Minshen asked word by word.

"Your Highness, I'm here to recruit you." Mo Yi walked in.

Lady An suddenly fell to the ground.

"The maid said that Lady An ordered her to do it, and Lady Shu was also invited by Lady An."

"Bring Miss Shu here!"

Lady Shu had been locked up for most of the day and was obviously much more depressed.

She saw Lady An standing beside them and understood a little bit.

"Is it you?" She rushed over and slapped An Meiren in the face.

"I treated you as a sister, but you framed me!"

Lady An hurriedly dodged, "Sister, what are you talking about? How could I frame you?"

When Lady Shu heard this, she went over and pinched Lady An.

"How dare you say no? It was you who asked me to go to the pond to feed the fish, and you're the only one who knew that I would go there often!"

Fulu hurriedly pulled the two apart.

At this time, Lady An's hair was disheveled and there were five finger marks on half of her face.

"Do you want to confess on your own, or do you want me to beat you into confession?"

Lady An hesitated and her eyes were wandering.

"Fulu, drag him out and beat him until he confesses!"

Soon, the sound of boards was heard again in the yard.

"Master, fainted."

"Throw cold water on her to wake her up and continue beating her!"

There was coldness in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

An Meiren was awakened again by being splashed with cold water. She felt that her lower body had lost consciousness.

She felt scared, "I confess, I confess!"

Lady An was dragged into the flower hall again.

She lay on the ground like a dead fish.

"Half a month ago, Princess Anyang sent someone to look for me."

"She said that if I could do one thing for her, she would find a way to send me back to the prince."

"She asked me to find a way to take the young master out of the house, but the servants around him followed closely, so I couldn't do it."

"The princess saw that I was unable to take the young master out, so she asked someone to bring a poisonous snake."

"That person asked me to find a way to put the snake where the young master was, but I tried many times and didn't find an opportunity."

"I accidentally heard the young master clamoring to go to the garden to feed the fish, so I asked the maid to release the snake into the woods."

In order to allow the little tiger to walk smoothly along the path, Concubine An asked her maid to tell Concubine Shu that she was waiting for her by the pool.

She knew that Miss Shu was used to walking on the path.

And if the little tiger goes to the pool, he will definitely meet Shu Meiren.

Shu Meiren is afraid of snakes. She will run away very quickly when she sees a snake.

The little tiger is a baby who can only walk, and he will definitely not be able to avoid any trouble.

Shen Yunjin's face turned pale: What a vicious mind!

If anything happens to the little tiger, she will be the first to bear the brunt, and maybe even the baby in her belly will die!
