Shen Qingyan also explained to Lian'er why she had faked her death back then... She said a lot, mentioning that she had been doing some business outside... and explaining why she hadn't returned for so long.
She said a lot... but she did not tell her about the unpleasant things that had happened between her and Xuanyuan Ming.
She made Lian'er keep the news that she was still alive a secret, because Shen Qingyan had indeed committed suicide in the Celestial Prison out of fear of crime.
