Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 552 Fault

That means being sold to a brothel, and your life will be completely ruined!

The county magistrate is hateful and is blocking his path to the imperial examination. So we should find a way to prevent him from wearing the official hat, or move his household registration to another county. Even if we have to compromise and make amends, we can save money slowly and wait for the next opportunity.

It is a little difficult, but we can't easily give up our sister's life just for the sake of ease.

Moreover, based on the few years that Song Ying had been in the Shen Mansion, he could see that no one in the Shen Mansion truly treated Aunt Lian, and all the concessions and special treatment were treated with deep contempt.

How could she not be heartbroken when the family she had nurtured with her blood and tears showed her no warmth or affection?

"What happened next? After we reunited in the capital, there were many ways to make her life better. Why did you let her bear the title of brother's aunt?"

This time it was Doctor Lin who spoke. Not only everyone else, but also the Princess of Shun'an was a little surprised. After experiencing great changes, Luxi no longer liked to get involved in other people's affairs.

This is why she was so surprised when she accepted Song Ying as her apprentice and even held a banquet to support her.

Seeing that Lady Shun'an didn't speak, Mother Zhu assumed she didn't want to answer, so she hurried out to help answer: "On the surface, she is the concubine given by Master Xiao He after all. Whether she is 'sold' or given to the farm, she must be informed. But this matter cannot withstand investigation."

Doctor Lin looked deeply at Shun'an County Master and said directly, "Shun'an, although her extreme behavior has led to this point, you have also made many mistakes.

You don't treat her as a family member and are unwilling to take any risks for her. The old master was once the favorite student of Lord He, just a concubine. No matter how much Lord He feels insulted, he won't become estranged.

Just because you are worried that Mr. He and his son will dislike you, you have been letting her bear the title of brother's aunt. Have you ever thought about how much pain she must be in?

Every time the servants called her "Auntie Lian", it reminded her that she was sold into a brothel by her own brother and absurdly became his concubine.

If you just think about her, make up a story, find a reason, and recognize her as your godsister, then if there is a good family, marry her off as a sister, or if there is not, keep her at home, let the children treat her as their own aunt or great-aunt, downplay her experiences in the first half of her life, and take care of her in her old age and see her to the end.

The pain of the first half of your life has already been caused, so you should try your best to make up for it in the second half of your life and truly treat her as a family member. Although she may still not be able to have no grudges against you, it will not come to this point today.

Ultimately, you're worried that if you acknowledge her as your sister, someone might think too much and see through the clues, ruining your reputation."

These words were too blunt and too rude, and were very different from Doctor Lin's usual way of doing things. They surprised everyone in the room and also made their understanding of the "old man's helpless behavior" and the idea that he was forced to do so disappear for the most part.

At the beginning, his career was controlled by others, so he had no choice but to do so. But later, no matter what happened outside, it could be said that the old man and the old lady had absolute control over the mansion.

As long as they wanted, they could make everyone in the mansion shut up. When the young masters grew up and didn't know the past, they would naturally regard Aunt Lian as an aunt or great-aunt who was friendly to them even though they were not related by blood.

In other families, they are real concubines, and some of them live happily with the whole family. What's more, she is a biological sister. The old man treats her kindly and the old lady does not dislike her, so the young masters will be intimate with her.

How could the Shunan County Lady not know about the change in everyone's thoughts? She smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone says that you have changed, Luxi, but in fact you haven't changed at all. You are still so rude.

I knew I was wrong. Every time I woke up in the middle of the night, I wished I could go back to my room, avoid that damn old man, and have nothing to do with the dirty things in his family.

But there is no medicine for regret in life, and I can't afford to lose face, so I can only try my best to cover it up."

Her expression grew increasingly bitter, and her breath grew weaker. Knowing she didn't have much time left, she looked towards Doctor Lin and pleaded, "Luxi, we are sisters, please give me some face. Otherwise, I won't know how to face my father in the underworld.

I am such an unfilial daughter. I seem to have always embarrassed him. I didn't learn the rules well when I was young, and later I was willing to die for a man. It's okay for him to lose face because of me while he's alive, but I can't let him lose face because of me after he dies."

Doctor Lin sighed, "You said we were sisters, so how could I say anything bad about you to others?"

She was just saddened that her friend made one mistake after another, just regretted that things could have avoided this point, and just sympathized with the woman who had a miserable life.

Princess Shun'an felt relieved and looked at Song Ying again.

Before she could speak, Song Ying said, "Song Ying will always remember the kindness of the Shen family in taking care of me. I will not say a single word that is not necessary."

Princess Shunan felt more relieved, but also a little embarrassed by her straightforward answer.

But she didn't have any more time to be embarrassed, so she began to explain her funeral arrangements to her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law.

With so many people dying in the Shen family at once, it was impossible to keep it a secret completely, so she only asked not to reveal the true identity of Concubine Lian, and said that the concubine in the mansion had gone crazy and poisoned the whole family.

After a whole night, the ladies had actually thought about how to deal with the situation, and naturally agreed at this moment. In order to let Princess Shunan pass away in peace, they also discussed the arrangements for the funeral in detail.

At the end of the Mao hour, Princess Shunan passed away in great sorrow and worry.

While the eldest wife arranged for the nanny to help Princess Shun'an wash and dress, she also had the servants in the mansion gathered together and personally gave them a lecture, telling them how to respond when the officials came. After all arrangements were made, she ordered someone to report to the authorities.

At the gate of the county school, Yuan Qing hurried out and was stunned when he saw Luo Yanxing pacing anxiously outside.

There was a woman looking for Zhaifu. At this time, he thought it was Song Ying, but unexpectedly it was Luo Yanxing.

Anxious Luo Yanxing saw him and waved to him.

Yuan Qing suppressed his doubts and followed her to a tree not far away. Before he could ask, Luo Yanxing said hurriedly, "Song Ying went to the Shen Mansion to attend the birthday banquet of Shun'an County Master yesterday and didn't come back all night.

I originally thought that because the birthday party ended too late, she had gone to sleep at the Shen residence. But when I went to ask about it this morning, the doorman was completely silent and refused to say anything. He looked very flustered. Could something have happened?

"Yesterday was the birthday of Princess Shun'an?" Yuan Qing was very surprised. Yesterday, County Magistrate Chen came to the prefectural school for an inspection and did not attend the banquet.

"Oh, this matter is not important. The Shunan County Lady is not here. She is just having a meal with her family. Tell me first, is Song Ying in any danger?"

Yuan Qing frowned and thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be. She has lived in the Shen Mansion for several years. There is a master who cares for her and sisters who are familiar with her. It is not a strange place."
