Song Baimo exhaled, "Thank you, father."
"Well, but you are not allowed to see her from now on. What she lives like has nothing to do with you, understand?"
Looking at his father's serious eyes, Song Baimo knew that this was the best ending for Xiaolin, and nodded.
A few days later, Prince Rui's Palace reported to the Ministry of Clan Affairs that Dianyi Cheng Qian had contracted a serious illness and passed away.
――――――
Mrs. Wu sat by the window and watched Mrs. Hu rush into the yard. She stood up and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Mrs. Hu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "They didn't ask anyone from Huamuyuan to be brought over. I saw that they were all unfamiliar maids, and there were also two young eunuchs who had always been with Xiao Shunzi."
"Where are Liunian and Mother Lu?"
"I haven't seen Liunian since that night. Mother Lu said she went to the farm to look for her son. I just don't know if it's true or not."
Wu sat back in her chair. How could this happen? Was Xiao Lin blinded by greed? She had actually given the princess an abortion drug. She had originally instigated her, thinking she would just make the princess suffer, but she had never imagined she would do such a cruel thing.
Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Wu's worried expression and said, "Don't worry. Judging from the current situation, Concubine Lin didn't expect you to come here."
Wu said angrily, "It's all your fault for always saying those nonsense in front of me. No matter how good Jinzhi is, she's still a maid. Why should I stand up for her? Fortunately, Lin is stupid. If she had said anything, the eldest lady would have been implicated by me."
Mrs. Hu pinched the banknotes in her sleeve and lowered her head. "I was too talkative. I won't dare to do that again."
――――――
In Jinmoju, Mrs. Li tapped her hands lightly on the table, making these sounds for a long time. Roland found it boring and annoying, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
"I didn't even get through the door. Eunuch Wang said it was the prince's order that no one was allowed to look inside or send anything in. Even the food box that the eldest young master sent was returned by the gatekeeper."
Li withdrew her hand and turned to look out the window. Through the half-open window, she could see a bird jumping on the windowsill.
"Bai, Li Mancang, Nanny Hai, Baochun, Jinzhi, Cheng Qian, Liunian, Xiaolin... Who will be the next one?" Li said coldly.
"The princess is really capable." Roland said softly.
"It's none of our business whatsoever. Stay away from Jing'an Garden for the next month, and don't go there unless you have something important to do. Also, after those guys are released, there's no need for anyone else to come in."
Roland was puzzled, "But if no one comes in, I'm afraid there won't be enough."
Li said self-deprecatingly, "I don't have any children, so I don't need that many people to serve me. The fewer people there are, the less trouble there is. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know if someone bribed me."
Luo Lan thought for a moment, "You don't believe that Concubine Lin gave the princess an abortion drug?"
Li nodded. "Whether the princess's baby is a boy or a girl, it poses no threat to the Lin family. The eldest young master's position as the crown prince is secure. Even if the Lin family is short-sighted, they would not fail to realize this."
"Then this medicine..."
Li clapped her hands and stood up. "Who knows? It's not like we haven't seen the thief crying thief before."
Watching Li walk towards the small Buddhist temple in the courtyard, Roland turned around, took out a box, and followed her. "Concubine, this incense is almost finished. Can I find a chance to go out one of these days?"
Li waved her hand, "It doesn't matter if you order a little less every day. Don't join in the fun at this time. I don't want to draw attention to myself."
