Xiaobai came back soon after he left.
"Madam, Miss Shen committed suicide in the government office. Miss Sisi said she will not be back tonight, so please have dinner first."
Upon hearing this, Li Nian was so shocked that he stood up and asked, "What? Bai Ying committed suicide?"
Seeing her anxious and worried look, Xiaobai quickly added: "Doctor Pei discovered it early, so she didn't die. It's just that Miss Shen is in a very bad condition now."
"Hurry up and prepare the carriage, I'll go and take a look." Li Nian casually took a robe from the closet and put it on, then hurried out.
Seeing that she was about to leave without eating, Yu Niang hurriedly said, "Miss, why don't you eat first? I don't know how long it will take you to come back. Don't starve yourself."
Li Nian thought that Li Sisi might not have eaten yet in the government office, so he said, "Put some food in the lunch box and I'll take it to the government office."
Yu Niang quickly responded, "You can bring the food to the yamen and eat with the second young lady." After that, she quickly went to the kitchen to put the food into the lunch box.
As soon as Yu Niang finished packing the food, Xiao Bai harnessed the carriage.
Li Nian carried the food box and got on the carriage heading towards the yamen.
At this time, the night was getting darker and the gate of the yamen was closed.
Xiaobai knocked on the door, and the gatekeeper saw that it was Xiao Yunyu's follower and immediately let him in.
Passing through the government gate and entering through the side door to the left of the main hall, one arrives at the official residence. Several rooms are now lit with candles. The flickering light from the flames shines through, blending with the moonlight and starlight, adding a touch of brightness to the courtyard of the official residence.
The room where Shen Baiying was was also lit, and some conversation sounds could be heard faintly.
Li Nian knocked on the door holding a lunch box.
"Who?" Li Sisi's voice rang out.
Li Nian replied in a low voice: "It's me."
Footsteps were heard inside the house, and soon the door creaked open.
Li Sisi asked in surprise: "Niannian, why are you here?"
"I came to see Baiying and brought you some food." She walked in with a lunch box, her eyes fell on Pei Yu'an who was beside Shen Baiying's bed, and asked in a low voice: "Second Brother Pei, how is Baiying?"
Pei Yu'an showed an expression of pity and worry on his face, and said helplessly: "Medication can only relieve her physical pain, but the pain in her heart has to be healed by herself."
Li Nian handed the food box to Li Sisi. She walked closer and looked at Shen Baiying, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her already pale face looked even more lifeless. The red marks on her neck showed how desperate she was when she chose death.
Li Nian looked at Pei Yu'an: "Brother Pei, can you let Bai Ying and I talk alone for a few words?"
Pei Yuan's worried expression eased, and he said in a gentle voice, "Of course you can."
Li Nian watched Pei Yu'an leave, and then said to Li Sisi, "You eat first, I'll stay here with Bai Ying."
Li Sisi tilted her head in confusion. Did Nian Nian have any secrets to tell Bai Ying? She couldn't bear to hear them?
But she still nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go out to eat." Then she was about to walk out with the lunch box.
"Isn't there a table in the room? Can't you just eat in the room?" Li Nian looked at her in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi quickly smiled foolishly and said, "Oh, yes." Hehe, it turned out that she was overthinking it!
Li Sisi sat at the table in the room and took out the food. She found that there were two servings, so she asked, "Niannian, did you bring one for Xiao Yunyu as well?"
Li Nian casually said, "He has so many people around him, he must not be hungry. The other one is mine. You eat it first, and I will eat it later."
"Oh, okay."
Li Sisi sat at the table and started eating, but her eyes were looking at Li Nian.
Li Nian looked at Shen Baiying, whose eyelids were twitching on the bed. She just realized that Shen Baiying was not unconscious at all, but just wanted to escape from reality.
Her low voice rang out slowly: "Bai Ying, it's not you who should die, it's the person who hurt you."
Li Nian suddenly took out a dagger and stuffed it into Shen Baiying’s hand: “If you hate him, stab him, torture him, return all the harm to him, and forget this nightmare.”
Tears fell from the corners of Shen Baiying's tightly closed eyes, and she murmured softly, "But, I'm not clean anymore."
Li Nian's soft voice was gentle and gentle, with a gentle persuasion: "It's not that you are unclean, it's that he is dirty. You just need to wipe away this filth that has polluted your life."
Shen Baiying opened her eyes and looked at Li Nian blankly: "If it were you, what would you do?"
Li Nian narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his cold eyes. His soft voice was filled with icy cruelty: "Let him live a life worse than death. Build your happiness on his pain."
She leaned closer to Shen Baiying's ear and lowered her voice: "Think about it, a lustful person, if he loses that thing that harms others, will be powerless from then on; a powerful person, suddenly loses his power, can only be humble and subservient for the rest of his life; a respected person, suddenly everyone spit on him like a beggar, trampling on his self-esteem."
Sentence after sentence of vicious words entered Shen Baiying's eardrums, as if the evil ghost was going to drag the wronged souls wandering in the world to hell together.
Shen Baiying closed her eyes tightly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, her sobs mixed with a difficult desire to survive: "But, but I am just an ordinary woman, how can I do this..."
"You can do it now. The dagger is in your hand, and the people you hate are there for you to slaughter." Li Nian held Shen Baiying's hand holding the dagger with both hands, and said firmly: "You can do it, we are all your backing."
Li Sisi, who was eating at the table, only heard half of what Li Nian had just said. She didn't hear the voice she deliberately lowered.
At this moment, she only heard the last sentence of Li Nian's words, so she echoed, "Yes, Bai Ying, don't worry. Xiao Yunyu is the prince of the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. No matter how high that person's status is, can he be more powerful than him?"
"Xiao Yunyu has already promised Nian Nian that he will hand that person over to us for disposal, so you can rest assured!"
When Shen Baiying heard Li Sisi's words, she felt so lost and helpless that she finally found a safe haven to rely on.
She propped herself up and sat up, looking at Li Nian with hope in her eyes: "Really? That person, can I really do whatever I want with him?"
Li Nian nodded firmly: "Okay."
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Aunt Shen walked in with a food box. Seeing three people in the room, Shen Baiying had also woken up, and the worry between her brows relaxed a lot.
She walked to the bedside with the lunch box, took out the bowl from the lunch box, and said, "Bai Ying, you silly girl!"
Aunt Shen's eyes were red, tears welling up in them. "Why are you so stubborn? The prefect has promised to personally act as your matchmaker and let you marry him in style. That man is the nephew of the Imperial Tutor in the capital! And now you're pregnant with their child, they won't treat you unfairly!"
