In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

Now that the New Year is approaching, Nan Mingyu's health has improved, but she still claims to be bedridden. Lin Qing also sent people to surround Nan Mingyu's yard tightly. Shen's attempts to find out the news by sending people in many times have failed.

After Lin Qing visited Yixianqian, he had been waiting for news about Luming in the mansion. Ye Tingxuan never showed up again, and the Pingnan Marquis Mansion seemed to have returned to a peaceful state.

The old lady had made a fuss several times because she was not allowed to leave her yard, but since Lin Qing had never cut off the money from her yard and her food, clothing and other expenses were still provided according to the previous standards, the old lady gave up.

Even Aunt Liu, who always loved to act like a demon, had been staying in her courtyard for some time without leaving the main gate or the second door for some unknown reason.

The only restless people in Pingnan Marquis' Mansion at the moment are Shen and Lin Qingyao, mother and daughter.

Ever since Lin Qingyao returned home from the palace banquet in the Second Prince's carriage, she has been waiting in the mansion for the Second Prince to come and look for her. However, she has waited for so many days but has not even received a letter.

Because of this matter, Lin Qingyao was now running around in Shen's yard in a panic. She paced back and forth, holding the handkerchief in her hand, and complained to Shen.

"Mother! Why is the Second Prince like this? How come there hasn't been even a letter from him in all these days! Mother! What should we do now?"

Shen was also undecided at the moment. The New Year was approaching, and although the mansion did not require her to buy anything, she still needed money to reward the servants.

Thinking of this, Shen couldn't help asking, "Yao'er, it's almost the New Year, and we should get rid of the grain that the Third Prince didn't want as soon as possible. Money is needed everywhere now."

The thing that Lin Qingyao was most worried about finally happened. After meeting the third prince that day, Lin Qingyao wanted to tell Shen about being deceived.

But when she returned home that day, she happened to meet Lin Qing who came to count Nan Mingyu's dowry. Afterwards, she and Shen were detained for a few days for no reason, and then they went to the palace to attend a banquet.

After the palace banquet was over, Lin Qingyao was thinking about the Second Prince and for a moment she even forgot to tell Shen about it.

Lin Qingyao became even more panicked at this moment, and the handkerchief in her hand was tangled even more. Seeing this, Shen also had a bad feeling in her heart, and she sat down, holding the corner of the table, a little unsteadily.

Then Shen asked tremblingly, "Yao'er! Are you hiding something from mother?"

When Lin Qingyao was asked this by Shen, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she choked and said, "Mother! Yao'er...Yao'er didn't mean to hide it...Wuwuwuwu..."

Lin Qingyao was halfway through her words when she immediately started crying anxiously. Seeing Lin Qingyao's reaction, Shen immediately understood what was going on.

Shen was so anxious that she slapped her thighs and scolded in a low voice, "That's my coffin money! You...you...you...Yao'er, you really don't want to leave a way for your mother to live!"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao immediately knelt down in front of Shen, crying and hugging Shen's thighs, "Mother! Yao'er was deceived in vain! It was Manager Zhang! That Manager Zhang! Mother, it was Manager Zhang who deceived us! The second son of the Li family didn't know anything about selling grain!"

Soon, Lin Qingyao and the Shen mother and daughter began to cry together, but things had come to this point and Manager Zhang had already disappeared.

Shen sighed and could only swallow this loss in silence. They did not dare to report this matter to the police. Not only would they be laughed at, but Lin Qingyao's reputation in Kyoto would also be ruined.

Lin Qingyao calmed down and continued to sob, "Mother...right now the only way out is the Second Prince. If Yao'er can marry into the Second Prince's mansion, this money will not be a big deal."

After hearing this, Shen nodded helplessly and said, "This is the only way for now. The Second Prince is better than the Third Prince after all, and his mother is the favored Concubine Yu, so it is not impossible for him to become the Crown Prince in the future."

After hearing what Shen said, Lin Qingyao did not feel happy. Instead, her brows furrowed even deeper. She wiped her tears with the handkerchief in her hand.

"Mother, but the Second Prince hasn't come to see me since the palace banquet, and he hasn't even written me a letter. Could it be that he has no interest in Yao'er?"

After hearing this, Shen began to think about it. After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she patted the table and said, "Yao'er, you are stupid! If the Second Prince doesn't come to look for you, you can go look for him!"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao hesitated again, "But...but...Yao'er doesn't know where to find the second prince! We don't have any money right now, and we can't even bribe people, so...what should we do! Mother..."

After saying this, Lin Qingyao took out her handkerchief and sobbed again. At the moment, Lin Qingyao felt really upset. She didn't understand what had happened. She suddenly went from being the generous eldest daughter of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion to being in her current state.

Shen, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but hold her forehead with both hands, then rubbed her temples, and then said with determination.

"There is no other way now. We can't just sit here and wait for Nan Mingyu to die. For now, we can only let you, Yao'er, suffer for now.

Go pick up some of the jewelry and clothes that your mother bought for you. I'll pawn them later and that'll help out a bit, so we can buy them back later."

Lin Qingyao knew that what Shen said was the only way at the moment. Although she was extremely unhappy in her heart, she still nodded in agreement with great reluctance.

Lin Qingyao endured the humiliation and unwillingness as she picked out her jewelry one by one. She never thought that she, Lin Qingyao, would actually reach this day.

In the past, she would give alms to others. She would find the best craftsmen in Kyoto to make her clothes according to the patterns passed down in the palace, and the materials used were all the best.

In the past, she would wear and throw away clothes one by one. Once she had worn a piece of clothing, she would never wear it again. She would ask her servants to shred it with scissors and throw it away.

The dresses in Lin Qingyao's closet were all brand new and had never been worn. Lin Qingyao was absolutely reluctant to pawn them. She touched the dresses reluctantly and asked Shen with tears in her eyes.

"Mother...is there really no other way? Yao'er's clothes are all newly made. I can't bear to pawn them like this..."

Shen was also feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment. She had raised Lin Qingyao in a pampered manner since she was a child. Her food, clothing and other necessities were the best among the noble ladies in Kyoto.

She also knew that this matter had wronged Lin Qingyao, but right now, apart from Lin Qingyao's things, the other things around them could not be sold for much money.

Shen sighed, hugged Lin Qingyao and comforted her, "Yao'er, there is nothing your mother can do now. I have sold all the shops and lands under my name... Now only your clothes, dresses and jewelry are worth some money. Yao'er... You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"
