Unfolding in Chapter 466 of "The Obsessive Crown Prince Can't Let Me Go": "Because..."Lianxin rubbed the corner of her clothes, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up... Keep reading!

"Because..."Lianxin rubbed the corner of her clothes, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground. She bit her lip, as if making up her mind, and looked up: "The Commandery Princess probably doesn’t know that my master has recently been engaged in buying and selling official positions!" Shen Yinning tilted her head: "Oh?" "I have the list of names for her buying and selling of official positions!" Lianxin’s eyes reddened. "If the Commandery Princess doesn’t believe it, I can steal the list and bring it to you tomorrow! Wouldn’t that prove my sincerity? I am constantly beaten and scolded by Consort Rong. I cannot stay even a day longer. I beg the Commandery Princess for mercy, to save me from this sea of bitterness!" She cried sincerely. Shen Yinning concealed a light laugh with her fan, then immediately showed a concerned smile. She personally helped Lianxin up: "Look at you crying, it makes me feel sorry for you. It’s not an important matter, after all, just rescuing a little palace maid. Don’t worry, I have my own ways to help you." "Thank you, Commandery Princess, for your grace!" Lianxin was extremely excited, respectfully gave a formal salute, but when she lowered her eyes, the glint in her eyes was full of calculation. Shen Yinning raised her eyebrows, her gaze passing over Lianxin to look at Liao Lili, who was watching the spectacle on the side. Liao Lili’s smile was meaningful, leisurely shaking her circular fan, as if to say, "I’ve brought the person here. How you use her is up to you now." Nearby, Haitang fully took in everyone’s changing expressions. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh softly. The three of them gathered together, their minds with more twists and turns than the holes in a lotus root! The next day. Lianxin indeed brought the list as promised. She explained: "These are the people who bought official positions from Consort Rong. Now, the consort has already profited eighteen thousand taels of silver notes. She owes a total of twenty thousand taels and even sent Lian Ye to secretly pawn some of the palace’s jewelry to make up the difference. The consort also said she’s striving to sell another batch of positions next month and is actively contacting wealthy merchants and gentry from other provinces." Shen Yinning flipped through the list one by one. After a while, she closed the list, her smile genuinely sincere: "Thank you." Lianxin lowered her eyelashes: "As long as the Commandery Princess can take me out of Chunxi Palace, all these things I’ve done are nothing." After Lianxin left, Cuicui came in and whispered to report: "Miss Lianxin said she had a stomachache before leaving and went alone to the west room." Shen Yinning was watching Haitang sew a small tiger. She lightly flicked her folding fan, nonchalant: "Check around the west room thoroughly, don’t miss a single ground tile." Cuicui bowed and immediately went to execute the order. About two hours later, Cuicui hurriedly returned with a delicate wooden box: "Commandery Princess, our people found this in the bamboo grove outside the west room window! It was newly buried in the soil, if not for the loose soil there, it would have been hard to detect!" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ????????????????????~????????????????~???????????? She opened the lid of the box and presented it for Shen Yinning to see. Shen Yinning glanced at the contents, her expression turning a bit cold. Haitang tightly clutched her embroidery needle, somewhat in disbelief: "Could this be something Lianxin buried?! She looks so sweet and demure, how can she have such a cruel heart?!" Shen Yinning lightly laughed, signaling with her eyes for Cuicui to dispose of the contents: "Without a cruel heart, how can one survive in the harem? She is loyal to her master, but it’s a pity her master is unworthy." ... The seventh month, the fire of summer. The Capital grew increasingly hot, with Xue Ling and Pei Qing’s army returning triumphantly in the latter half of the month, along with the captured Bei Yan imperial family. A grand victory banquet was prepared in the palace. Xue Mianmian arrived early, finding Shen Yinning feeding the koi in the Imperial Garden. Shen Yinning held a jade bowl and looked at her, smiling: "Look at those dark circles under your eyes, did you not sleep well last night?" In the height of summer, with sparse light and green shadows. Today, Xue Mianmian wore simple attire, her small round face lightly made-up, unable to conceal the dark circles formed from a sleepless night. She clutched her handkerchief tightly, her expression extremely unpleasant: "Last night at dusk, a servant from the Xue Mansion suddenly visited, saying their master wanted to give me a gift. I didn’t want to accept it, but he said if I didn’t, his master would kill him! My maid opened it for me, and inside it was..." The young girl bit her lip anxiously. Shen Yinning was curious: "What was it? Considering it’s from Xue Ling, it must be something unique?" "It was dozens of skulls!" Xue Mianmian almost burst into tears, "White bones stripped of flesh! The names were even engraved in detail on them, which deputy general, which general, which marshal... all enemies killed by him on the battlefield!" Since childhood, Xue Mianmian was timid. If not for meeting Xue Ling, she would have spent her life in peace. Unexpectedly, her life now was turbulent, and she had seen dozens of skulls, something even the most secluded young lady had never witnessed! Shen Yinning used her fan to cover her face. She wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to do so. Xue Ling had given Xue Mianmian his spoils of war. He spread his peacock feathers, thinking others would cherish them, unaware he’d scared her into sleepless nights! She consoled: "After all, they’re just dead things, they can’t truly harm you. Someday, ask Xue Uncle to give him a good whipping, and it’ll be fine." "I... my concern isn’t just that..." Xue Mianmian lowered her lashes in embarrassment, "I’ve known for some time that my husband doesn’t love me, his previous tender care was just pretense. Though my mother-in-law and sister-in-law don’t like me, and I haven’t served my husband, my life is still somewhat stable, without the fear of being harmed by gossip and bringing shame to my parents. Now that he’s back, I’m afraid he’ll still want to treat me like before..." The young girl hesitated to speak further. Shen Yinning looked at her. Today she wore a satin and gauze skirt in green, her skin white and translucent, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks, as if hiding countless worries. Shen Yinning understood her anxieties. She handed the jade bowl to Haitang and walked alongside Xue Mianmian towards Chengxi Palace, reminding her: "Why do you think you lived peacefully in the Guan Family?" Xue Mianmian clasped her hands tightly: "Zhaozhao, do you mean?" "Xue Uncle had already used all his connections for Guan Songyuan; now that he’s left the Capital, Guan Songyuan need not fear him anymore. The Guan Family dislikes you, yet never divorced you, simply because Xue Ling is a close minister to the Emperor. The higher Xue Ling stands, the more secure your position in the Guan Family. Mianmian, you should hope Xue Ling stands tall." "But..." Shen Yinning paused, looking seriously at her: "Do you think the Guan Family truly wishes for you to be this carefree Young Madam? The underhanded methods of the inner household are innumerable, and the reason they haven’t been used on you is because they fear Xue Ling behind you. Mianmian, all the world’s affairs are about balance, not so simply about what you like or dislike." Xue Mianmian bit her lip: "I’m too weak, unable to be my own support..." Shen Yinning gently smoothed her temple: "There are countless women in the world, some smart and brave, others foolish and timid. Different natures make it impossible for everyone to become pillars, and it’s nothing shameful. I may not have much ability, but if you wish, I am willing to be your pillar. Mianmian, no matter what choice you make, I will support you."
