Shen Yuan said faintly as he looked at Shen Qing's body. After a moment, he used a needle to prick Shen Qing's fingertip and grabbed Shen Qing's hand to write a line of blood words on the stone wall of the prison cell. Following that, he pulled out Shen Qing's belt and tied a knot on the bars before putting it on Shen Qing's head.
After everything was done, he then stood up and picked up the oiled paper bag that Shen Qing placed on the ground before taking one last look at the slightly swaying figure on the iron bars.
"Younger Sister, you will not die in vain. Second Older Brother will definitely take revenge for you." He said softly.
…
This winter in the Ding capital seemed to be a really eventful period as storms came one after another. The massacre of Prince Yu's entire household was known by everyone and even though the commoners were secretly clapping their hands in joy, they also knew of the dangers involved. And the only surviving new bride, the Eldest Young Lady of the Shen family, was sent to prison. Because she was inextricably linked to this case, everyone stuck their heads out to inquire about the results.
In the end on this day, there was suddenly news that the Eldest Young Lady of the Shen family had hanged herself in prison using her belt. Before she died, she left a blood letter saying that she had nothing to do with this matter and with her husband's family dead, she was unwilling to live in this world and could only die to show her will.
People were very strange as they were much more tolerant towards the dead. If it was previously because Shen Qing got pregnant out of wedlock and married to Prince Yu, she would be called a loose woman who did not abide by the ways of a woman, but now that she died, it attracted a lot of sighs. Everyone praised her for having integrity and strength of character, but she was harmed by Prince Yu for a lifetime.
The previous rumours seemed to have collapsed overnight. Thinking about it, to be able to make a pregnant female die to show her will, one would think that there must be a huge grievance. Moreover, those rumours were without any basis. Shen Qing and Prince Yu had no grievances and with Prince Yu's death, she still had to be a widow, so it was not worthwhile.
Thus it seemed that with Shen Qing's death, Shen residence and Shen Qing's suspicions were washed clean. Even Emperor Wen Hui in the Palace did not say anything, but they were still unable to find out who the murderer was and the case would most likely become an unsolved case.
In the Shen residence, everything seemed to be no different from the past.
Shen Qing had already married into Prince Yu residence and her corpse would be buried together with Prince Yu in the name of Prince Yu's Consort. Old Shen Furen felt slightly comforted because of this. No matter if it was dead or alive, the Shen family finally had a Wangfei and at least the reputation was not bad.
Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu appeared to be very sad and Shen Yue was crying uncontrollably but even though they were so sad, they did not even go to the prison to visit Shen Qing, thus no one knew if they were acting or sincere.
In comparison, Shen Gui, as a father, was much colder. He did his work as usual, and there was no sign of sorrow on his face. Occasionally, when one looked at him, one could even see a flash of joy in his eyes. Perhaps to Shen Gui, Chen Qing's suicide had saved him a lot of trouble. Naturally, he was happy in his heart. As for Shen Yuan, the entire burden of the Second household of the Shen family had fallen onto his shoulders. Every day he would be running around outside and there was almost no one in the residence, so one did not know what the situation was.
If one were to talk about the person that made people sigh the most, it would be Ren Wan Yun. After Ren Wan Yun got to know the news of Shen Qing committing suicide in the prison, she fainted on the spot. After she woke up, she was somewhat delirious and pulled Xiang Lan's hand saying that she wanted to see Shen Qing return to her home. It was obvious that this matter was a huge blow to Ren Wan Yun and in such a delirious situation, naturally she was unable to be the master of the Second household. Shen Gui let Wan YiNiang temporarily take charge of the Second household's matters and everyone in Cai Yun Yuan Yuan were secretly whispering that at the end of the Shen family's Second household, Wan YiNiang would most likely be able to make a comeback and even that sick and weak Shen Dong Ling would most likely be able to make a comeback in one fell swoop. Fortunately Old Shen Furen's heart ached for Shen Yuan Bo and in the end did not let Wan YiNiang take care of her Di grandson, but brought Shen Yuan Bo to Rong Jing Tang and personally raised him.
