Zhao Yu used to be in the Liu family, and she was not unaware of the fact that Li Shuyue had been bullying Li Qingqian since childhood. Since it was a matter between the two sisters, she should not interfere.

Li Shuyue looked at her for a while, then turned his eyes away from her and asked weakly, "Where's Jiang Lin? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"

"The young master was taken away by the government today."

"What?" Li Shuyue asked in surprise, "Why was he taken away? Why didn't you come and tell me about such a big thing?"

Zhao Yu: "The old lady said that the lady is seriously ill now, so it is better not to tell you about this troublesome matter."

When she said the word "old lady", Li Shuyue subconsciously thought of the old lady in the Li Mansion, and then she realized that Zhao Yu was talking about Aunt Jiang.

But how could I be seriously ill?

When Jiang Lin attacked me, he showed no mercy at all, and every blow was intended to kill me.

Later, Song Ningyan came to take his pulse and originally wrote a prescription, but Aunt Jiang used the excuse that "the medicinal materials are expensive" and refused to prescribe the medicine for him.

This resulted in him being bedridden.

Li Shuyue's eyes suddenly fell on the bowl of medicine on the table. After thinking for a while, she said to Zhao Yu, "Bring that bowl of medicine over here. I'll drink it."

Zhao Yu brought the medicine expressionlessly and asked her to drink it.

After drinking the medicine, Li Shuyue was a little confused, "Didn't she prepare candied fruit for me?"

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Madam, you are no longer a child."

When Li Shuyue heard this, a bitter smile appeared on her face, "Yes, she and I are not children anymore."

She remembered that when she was very young, she did not have such strong hostility towards Li Qingqian, and Li Qingqian also loved her very much.

According to the servants in the mansion, she was born due to induced labor by her mother Liu, and her health has not been very good since she was a child. She had to take medicine every day before she was ten years old.

When she was just old enough to remember things, she hated drinking bitter medicine soup, so Li Qingqian would prepare a plate full of candied fruits for her and bring it to her after she finished drinking the medicine.

Li Qingqian has been cold and aloof since childhood. There are only two people of the same age, Yun Yi and Yun Shang, around her, and only Li Shuyue can get close to her.

Li Qingqian is not an easy person to approach, but when they were young, she always indulged Li Shuyue to act like a spoiled brat to her, but she never scolded her.

As time went by, Li Shuyue got used to it, but later her mother told her that Li Qingqian had snatched away the good marriage that originally belonged to her.

Gradually, Li Shuyue began to feel hostile towards this sister whom she once loved very much. She refused to be with her anymore and even wanted to snatch away her good things.

She thought that these good things were taken away from her by Li Qingqian, and she should take them back.

As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another. Ever since experiencing the disputes in the previous life, Li Shuyue's hostility towards Li Qingqian has become even more intense.

From the moment she pushed Li Qingqian off the cliff after knowing certain things, she was no longer the Li Shuyue who always followed Li Qingqian long ago.

Li Shuyue suddenly recalled the time when Li Qingqian returned to Beijing. She said to herself so coldly: "It is natural for an elder sister to reprimand and teach a younger sister."

What were you thinking at that time?

She seemed to be thinking, how could Li Qingqian say such words to her? She had always either indulged herself or obeyed herself under the tyranny of her mother.

She felt that Shen Changyun and the entire Duke Zhenguo Mansion were even more annoying, and this person who always spoke to her in a low voice started to act rampant in front of her.

Bitter tears flowed from Li Shuyue's eyes and she pulled the corners of her mouth weakly. It shouldn't be like this, but nothing can go back.

That night, Jiang Lin failed to return to the house.

Instead, he came back early the next morning in a panic, and walked towards Li Shuyue's yard in a menacing manner.

Zhao Yu, who had just finished feeding Li Shuyue the first bowl of medicine of the day, was walking out with the bowl of medicine when she ran into Jiang Lin who was about to break in.

He quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, Madam has already taken the medicine and gone to bed."

Jiang Lin's eyes were bloodshot. He must have been tortured all night and hadn't slept a wink. At this moment, his temper was even more irritable than usual.

"Her short-lived mother brought such a disaster upon me, and she still has the nerve to sleep soundly? Get out of here right now!"

After saying that, he was about to step inside again.

Zhao Yu was upset, so she said to him, "Sir, have you forgotten what the Crown Prince's wife said?"

Jiang Lin paused. When Zhao Yu and Zhao Wan were sent here, they came to tell him that no matter what, Li Shuyue must not die in the Jiang family, let alone in his hands.

He didn't know what Li Qingqian meant, but he didn't dare not listen.

Seeing that he had been persuaded, Zhao Yu stepped forward and said kindly, "Sir, if you have anything to say, why don't you tell me first and I will tell my wife later?"

Jiang Lin now urgently needs someone to discuss things with, but when he thinks about how Zhao Yu and Li Shuyue are usually very close, he starts to dislike her.

"You are nothing more than a servant of my Jiang family. Why should I talk to you?" Jiang Lin waved his sleeves. "Where is my aunt? Has she woken up?"

Zhao Yu nodded, "The old lady gets up at 1 a.m. every day, so she should be having breakfast now."

Jiang Lin then went towards Aunt Jiang's yard again.

Zhao Yu stood where she was and rolled her eyes at his back.

What slave? I have never been a slave. I am just an ordinary citizen working in their house.

Jiang Lin hurried to Aunt Jiang's yard and told her what had happened.

Aunt Jiang stood up suddenly. "What did you say? Did Li Shuyue's dowry silver come from the black market when her mother was alive?"

The old lady of the Li family also prepared a dowry for Li Shuyue, which consisted of some profitable shops and land. However, Li Shuyue was careful and kept them for herself without letting Jiang Lin and his mother know.

Therefore, the silver that the mother and son took from her was all exchanged by Liu on the black market.

"This jinx!" Aunt Jiang spat fiercely, "She thinks her fate is bad, so she comes to bring disaster to our family!"

The matter of the silver is hard to explain. Although Liu exchanged it on the black market, after all, she has left and the tea has forgotten her. And this silver was indeed spent by Jiang Lin and I.

"I can return home today because the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. But Aunt, we have lived in Dawei for so many years. This amnesty will only last for about a year, and those who are pardoned will be arrested again for various reasons. What should I do after a year?"

Aunt Jiang swallowed her saliva. What should I do? Nothing!

As a citizen of Dawei, it is impossible for us not to know how much Dawei hates the black market. If we are caught, we will be killed.

It doesn’t matter if Li Shuyue died, but Jiang Lin and I are indeed innocent!

Zhao Yu arrived at the main hall door and happened to hear the conversation between the mother and son. She pushed open the door with a slight smile on her face and said, "Then let's go all out and find another way to survive."
