The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 208

After Yan Sihan had to deal with business and left, Lin Jiaojiao began to seriously think about these issues.

At this time, Xuemei brought a bowl of shocking soup.

"Mother, Qin Zhi, she..." Xuemei wanted to say something, but when she saw Lin Jiaojiao's gloomy eyes, she was so frightened that she fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dark. After a long time, Xuemei dared to speak again: "Mother, was Qin Zhi killed? Or... still can't think about it..."

The death was so frightening that she couldn't help thinking that she was killed by someone.

"Go and tell the people in the courtyard, don't let me hear any rumors spread outside."

Xuemei said "Oh", and at the same time felt that the empress's attitude was a bit strange, as if she was not sad for Qin Zhi's death, but she could obviously feel that the empress was angry about it.

After leaving the house, Xuemei called everyone together and gave them instructions one by one.

At this time, Dongqing was crying in Xiaoyun's arms until she was out of breath, so she cried and said, "Qin Zhi must have committed suicide because she couldn't bear it, woo woo woo..."

This made Xuemei feel strange, and asked quickly: "What can't you bear?"

Dong Xue also touched the tears on his face, and said: "Sister Xuemei, you don't know that there are eight people in Qin Zhi's family plus Qin Zhi, and these eight people are all supported by Qin Zhi, have you never seen it before?" Qin Zhi's elder brother who came to ask for money, Qin Zhi can't save a little money every month, saying that the father of the family still owes gambling debts."

After finishing speaking, he sniffed and continued, "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it either."

"This..." Xuemei didn't know this, she only knew that Qin Zhi's aunt was ill, but she didn't expect Qin Zhi...

She didn't know what to say for a while, for slaves like them, there was nothing they could do if something happened at home.

Just like when her mother died, she had nothing to do.

Qingtao was standing on the side, not feeling any sorrow for Qin Zhi's death, which made the girls feel that Qingtao was too indifferent.

……

Half an hour after Qin Zhi's death, Shisan came to report.

"Princess, it's been found out. Qin Zhi died of rat poison. If homicide is ruled out, he should have committed suicide. She left you a letter."

Lin Jiaojiao took the envelope from Shisan, opened it, and found that the beginning of the article was "I'm sorry", the three words "I'm sorry" were all over the whole rice paper, and the ink on it was smudged in many places, making it look mottled.

She turned it over, and there was a line of words: Slaves are willing to endure the pain of eighteen levels of hell.

Holding this letter, she seemed to feel that Qin Zhi wrote these sorry while crying before dying, and then ended his life in the most cruel way.

Slowly clenching her palms, she asked in a deep voice, "Where did she get the rat poison?"

"I don't know." Thirteen replied.

Hearing this, she let go of her hand, and the piece of paper fell gently.

Qin Zhi thought about it from the beginning, she was a little angry, more of it was anger, now Qin Zhi said everything at the beginning, it would not be the result.

She recalled the infinite pain, remorse and endless despair she felt in Yan Sihan's arms before she died in her last life.

I closed my eyes and swore inwardly: I, Lin Jiaojiao, will not let the people I care about go through the pain I have experienced, especially Yan Sihan.

In the last life, you never abandoned me, and in this life, I will definitely live up to you.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear, and he opened his mouth and said three words softly: "Bury it."

"Yes."

Thirteen suddenly felt a murderous aura on the princess, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
