After all, Gongsun Qianru was a concubine daughter from one of the first-class families, and she just died like that. The Ministry Councillor Li's family was terrified that the Gongsun Family might settle accounts with them, so scared that they were utterly petrified.
Fortunately, Gongsun Qianru's improper conduct, contracting a hidden disease, and causing trouble for the Ministry Councillor Li's family had already been quietly revealed by the Li Family's servant earlier.
The Gongsun Family sent people to investigate and found that Gongsun Qianru indeed contracted a hidden disease, which brought shame to the Gongsun Family. As they were at fault first, coupled with the fact that Gongsun Qianru had hanged herself, the Gongsun Family did not pursue the Li Family's responsibility, and simply asked the Ministry Councillor Li to bury Gongsun Qianru, leaving the matter unresolved.
A few days later, news spread from Pear Blossom Villa that Master Chang's two chambermaids were pregnant.
