Chapter 25 - The Puppet's Tale (12) Part 2

Ah Jin brought Rong Shu to the living room.

Take a look, yo, everyone gathered today ah.

The Old Madam was here, so this was going to be an actual event.

When people saw Ah Jin entered the room, they bowed to her.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Ah Jin went forward and helped the Old Madam up, "Please excuse yourself."

Ah Jin smiled and asked, "On what matter is it so important today that Old Madam has come out?"

Madam Marquis began, "It is really because I have an ungrateful request. I hope Your Highness will be kind."

"Let's hear it." Ah Jin said good-naturedly

Madam Marquis continued, "Xiao Shu has grown up, and it is time for him to stand on his own feet."

Ah Jin frowned at her.

"He is only three years old. He can't even speak fully. How can he take care of himself?"

Madam Marquis followed, "Exactly, so I have discussed with the Old Madam. All the children in the house are grown up now. We have reached the age of having grandchildren, but we have no children. So we can only ask Your Highness to help us to have a chance to enjoy our family's happiness. When Xiao Shu can stand on his own, we will let Rong Yi take him to school."

After saying that, they knelt down together with the Old Madam, "I beg you, Your Highness, to make it possible."

Ah Jin stepped forward and helped them up.

"This Princess agrees."

Madam Marquis and Old Madam thanked and bowed again.

Ah Jin pulled Rong Shu to herself and said, "From today onwards, you will live with Grandma and Great Grandma. Mother will visit you often."

Rong Shu couldn't stop the tears as soon as he heard these words.

"No, I want to stay with my mother. I will be good and obedient. Mother, you do not want me?"

Ah Jin's nose was sour.

She wiped her tears.

"Mother didn't not want you. You will always be mother's good son. Now, grandmother and great grandmother need you more, so you can go. Mother will often see you."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

As soon as Rong Shu took two steps after her, he was held by Madam Marquis.

Rong Shu struggled desperately and shouted, "Grandma, let go of me. I want to find my mother! Mother, don't go! Mother! Let go of me quickly!"

Ah Jin went back to her room.

As soon as she got on the quilt, she sobbed.

Her four maids were so anxious that Hong Ying ordered Huan Huan to immediately go to the Palace to report to the Empress.

Lan Yu went to look for Rong Yi and arranged for Lu Liu to fetch water while comforting Ah Jin.

Ah Jin wept for a while and cleaned her face with water.

It was about time, so she let them both leave.

Lan Yu went to the study to look for Rong Yi but was told that he had just been invited by a friend.

She instructed the attendant to immediately go and find the Rong Yi to return. Something had happened in the Residence.

When he heard that something had happened in the Residence, Rong Yi went back quickly and met Lan Yu at the gate.

He was told by Lan Yu that Rong Shu had been carried away by Madam Marquis and the Old Madam and that the Princess was in her room in tears.

Rong Yi couldn't care less about Rong Shu.

He had to pacify Ah Jin first.

When they saw him returned, Hong Ying and Huan Huan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the room.

No sooner had the door opened did a few people got struck by the scene inside the room.

"Ah Jin!"

"Princess!"

"Princess!"

Madam Marquis was still calming Rong Shu when suddenly a maid barged in, looking panicked.

"Madam, it's not good! The Princess hanged herself on the beam."
