She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Huo San then pulled Li Jingwan aside.

"I don't know much. The Bai family does business in Tacheng. I heard that they do quite a lot of business in Xirong and make a lot of money."

"The eldest daughter of the Bai family is Bai Yiyi, and she is a legitimate daughter. Unfortunately, her mother died early, and her father remarried. Her stepmother doesn't like her, and a few days ago she found a way to drive her to the farm, and she was not even allowed to bring a maid with her."

"The farm just happened to be short of staff, so Butler Bai asked me to find a few maids..." Huo San's face flashed with embarrassment when he said this. This was not finding, it was clearly trafficking.

But she was thick-skinned and continued, "So I brought you here, that's it."

After listening to this, Li Jingwan became more determined.

This place is vast and sparsely populated and too far away from Tacheng. It would be difficult for her to leave unless she stole a horse and rode away, and made sure she was not caught up.

Since the eldest daughter of the Bai family was driven to the farm, she will definitely go back.

At that time, she could follow along as his personal maid. This would be a relatively safe way to return to Tacheng.

Moreover, she can also find a way to let Bai Yiyi go back as soon as possible.

In her previous life and this life, she has been the mistress for so long combined, so it is natural for her to use some tricks in the harem.

Just as he finished speaking, Butler Bai's voice came from not far away.

"Miss, please take a look. If you don't find it suitable, you can choose another one. You need someone to serve you personally."

A clear female voice with annoyance said.

"I am in this state now because of that bitch Bai Lixuan and Chen. In such a shabby place, what kind of maids can be worthy of your attention? The maids I usually use are all in Tacheng. How long do you want me to stay in this shabby place?!"

"Miss, calm down." Butler Bai coaxed, "Just take a look first. If you are not satisfied, I will ask someone to look for it again."

In the end, Bai Yiyi followed Butler Bai here. Judging from her appearance, she should be about the same age as Li Huirou.

Bai Yiyi has a pretty face, with a pair of lively almond-shaped eyes, but she looks very angry, and it seems that she has a bad temper.

Sure enough, as soon as she came close, she was about to scream out in disgust.

"These three ugly creatures are worthy of being my personal maids? They even stink!"

She took a step back. "I said I couldn't come, but you insisted that I come. What did you choose?"

Huo San smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was no wonder that the young lady was driven here.

She is so noisy and has no manners at all, she doesn't look like a legitimate daughter at all.

Bai Yiyi turned around and was about to leave, Li Jingwan quickly said, "Miss, please stay."

She really paused, and when she saw that it was Li Jingwan who called her, she looked disgusted and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I have something very important to tell the young lady." Li Jingwan stepped forward, and Bai Yiyi quickly stepped back, pinching her nose.

"Stop, it stinks. It's you."

Li Jingwan's expression did not change, and she was still in a very good temper. "I have been on the road and have not washed for a few days. Please forgive me, Miss. But I do have something important to say, and it is related to you."

"I don't know you, what do you have to say?"

Huo San also looked at Li Jingwan suspiciously.

This was the first time she met Bai Yiyi today, what important thing could it be?

"It has something to do with what you have in mind, young lady."

Bai Yiyi was surprised to see that she remained in a good temper even though she was called smelly in public. She took a closer look and found that although she was dirty all over, her temperament was different from others. She had a demeanor that was not like that of a maid.

"Come over and tell me." Bai Yiyi became curious, "But don't get too close to me."

Li Jingwan walked over, stood two steps away from her, and spoke in a low voice.

"My lady, I have a way to get you back to Tacheng as soon as possible, and let the master know that you were wronged by Chen and expose their true colors."

Bai Yiyi really opened her eyes wide and even put down the hand that was pinching her nose.

"You...how do you know?"

How does she know about the Bai family?

Li Jingwan smiled. Based on Huo San's previous introduction and the words Bai Yiyi shouted when she came, it was not difficult to guess.

There are only the same things going on in the harem, nothing new can be done.

"I have been to Tacheng before. When I heard people talking about the Bai Mansion, I felt that you were wronged."

Bai Yiyi felt like she had met a soulmate. "Can you really help me?"

Li Jingwan nodded.

"I have studied for a few years and served a wealthy family in the capital before. I have seen and heard a lot of cases where concubines are disrespectful to their mistresses or legitimate sons are bullied by illegitimate sons. If you just give me a chance, I will definitely help you."

"If you can't do it, you can punish me to be a servant."

Hearing her confident words, Bai Yiyi thought it might be a good idea to give it a try. "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaowan." Li Jingwan had already thought of a name for her maid.

Bai Yiyi then looked at Butler Bai and pointed at Li Jingwan.

"Uncle Bai, let Xiaowan be my personal maid."

Li Jingwan breathed a sigh of relief, while Huo Sanzhe's face lit up with joy.

This girl is really capable, but at the same time, I feel a little sorry for her.

If I let her work with me, I will definitely be able to earn more.

-

Qi Ming walked into the Fusi of Tacheng Town exhausted, with a pale look in his eyes.

After the city was sealed off, he did not close his eyes for a moment and led people to search everywhere, but he did not find any clues related to Li Jingwan.

When I entered the side hall, I saw Chu Tingyu sitting in the main seat and Gao Yuanjia sitting on the side.

Xiang Mingfang and Zhu Gaozhi stood aside. Although they looked tired, there was hope in their eyes when they saw him come in.

Qi Ming knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, I have sent people to search the entire area, but have not found the whereabouts of Princess Le Yi."

Xiang Mingfang was so shocked that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground, but was grabbed by Zhu Gaozhi.

Gao Yuanjia suggested, "Your Majesty, how about increasing the manpower to search for Princess Le Yi? The city gates can be blocked for a while."

Chu Tingyu hesitated and shook his head, "Open the city gate. It has been blocked for two days and two nights. If we don't open it, something bad will happen."

Tacheng is the largest city on the northwest border, with people coming and going every day. The blockade over the past two days has caused panic among the people.

What's more, the Western Rong are watching covetously and may take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Your Highness..." Xiang Mingfang couldn't help but speak, "The young lady hasn't been found yet. What if the city gate is opened and the killer kidnaps the young lady and takes her out of the city?"

"I think the county lady is no longer in the city." Chu Tingyu's eyes were deep and certain. "There are no clues in the past two days of searching. It is very likely that she was taken out of the city before the city was closed."

"If my judgment is wrong and she is still in the city, it means that the murderer is hiding very deeply. He will definitely not show up until the open search stops."

He has already made arrangements. "We will continue to arrange personnel to investigate after the city is closed, but the investigation must be conducted secretly."

Zhu Gaozhi clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the escorts to investigate the situation. Most of them are veterans with some skills and are alert enough."

"That's exactly what I meant." Chu Tingyu didn't bring many guards with him, and the pacification commissioner's runners couldn't all be withdrawn to search for people. After all, there were other things to do.

"Coach Zhu, you will be in charge of the search for Princess Le Yi."

"Yes." Zhu Gaozhi responded loudly.

If he finds the person who kidnapped Li Jingwan, he will beat that guy to death personally.

Chu Tingyu said to Gao Yuanjia again, "Master Gao, please take care of this matter and cooperate with Coach Zhu."

Gao Yuanjia stood up immediately and said, "The disappearance of Princess Le Yi in Tacheng was caused by my lax governance. I feel deeply guilty. I will do my best to cooperate with Master Zhu to find the Princess as soon as possible."

After arranging the search for the person, Chu Tingyu got up and went to the cell behind the Pacification Office.

The cells behind the Pacification Office were filled with serious criminals. The murderer whose arm he had chopped off has regained consciousness after being treated by Xu Rui.

He wanted to find out who was so bold as to send someone to assassinate Li Jingwan.

Yesterday, Chu Tingyu had discussed with Xiang Mingfang and others for a long time, but could not find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Apart from reporting the Qin family and divorcing her husband, Li Jingwan has always kept a low profile.

Xiang Mingfang wondered if it was Qin Lingyun who had been on the run, but only a few people knew that Li Jingwan had left for the northwest.

Moreover, Qin Lingyun is a fugitive and has no one to rely on if she leaves the Qin family, so they don’t have the ability to send assassins.

If you want to know the truth, you can only hear it from the murderer.

As a result, just as he walked out of the side hall, a guard came to report that Luva had sent someone to deliver a message that there was an important matter to discuss, and asked His Royal Highness Prince Jing to return to the Northwest Camp immediately.

The important matter that Lu Fa mentioned must be very important and it concerns the safety of the border, so Chu Tingyu had to go back first.

"Qi Ming, you stay and interrogate the killer."

Qi Ming showed hesitation. He had never interrogated a prisoner, but since this concerned Li Jingwan's safety, he quickly obeyed the order and said, "Yes."

"We can't let him die." This was Chu Tingyu's only request.

"I understand."

-

In the evening, Li Jingwan appeared at the door of Bai Yiyi's bedroom.

"Your servant Xiaowan greets the young lady."

Bai Yiyi was playing with her bracelet out of boredom, turning her head as she spoke.

"Why did you take so long to bathe? Are you sure you are clean? There is no more..."

Seeing Li Jingwan after taking a bath and changing her clothes, Bai Yiyi stopped talking.

Then, her eyes lit up, "You're not ugly, come here and let me see you."

"Yes." Li Jingwan nodded and walked in front of her.

"Don't say that. Take a closer look. You look pretty good, don't you?" Bai Yiyi looked him up and down.

And although she was wearing rough maid's clothes, they showed off her figure.

When walking, talking and raising hands, your expression should be natural, generous and appropriate.

Bai Yiyi thought to herself that Xiaowan had indeed worked as a maid in a wealthy family in the capital, and she looked more like a lady than her vicious sister.

"It's just that your face is too yellow. If it were whiter and had fewer spots, you would be more worthy of being my personal maid." Bai Yiyi frowned and commented.

Li Jingwan smiled and picked up the teapot to pour water. "Miss, I was born in a poor family. My family is poor and I am lucky to have enough food to eat. How can I enjoy the same happiness as you, with your beautiful face and skin as white as cream?"

"Miss, please have some tea."

Before bathing, Li Jingwan asked another maid to borrow rouge, and deliberately painted her face yellow and put some spots on it, trying to make herself look as ugly as possible.

She is just a maid now and must keep a low profile and not attract other people's attention.

She was also worried that the killer would come looking for her, so she needed to change her appearance.

"Girl, you have a good mouth." Bai Yiyi felt that she didn't speak like other maids. She felt that she was well-educated and could read, so she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

This time, she unexpectedly found a good maid. After just a few words, she felt that Xiaowan was much better than the maid who had been serving her in Tacheng.

Bai Yiyi picked up the teacup, "Xiao Wan, how old are you?"

"My lady, I am twenty-six this year, almost twenty-seven."

"Puff!" Bai Yiyi choked after taking a sip of tea, "Cough cough cough..."

Li Jingwan took the cup from her hand with one hand and patted her back with the other, "Miss, be careful."

Bai Yiyi coughed for a while before she calmed down. "You...you are twenty-six?"

She thought Li Jingwan was at most twenty years old.

"Yes." Li Jingwan smiled, "I was born in the eighth year of Tianyuan."

Bai Yiyi stared at her face and asked again, "Are you married? Where are your husband and children?"

Li Jingwan lowered her head.

Although she didn't say anything, her expression showed that she didn't want to look back on the past.

"Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Bai Yiyi felt a little guilty.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else mention it in the future. If anyone asks, I will...let Uncle Bai punish him."

"Thank you, Miss." Li Jingwan said in a low voice.

It seems that although Bai Yiyi has a bad temper and speaks harshly, she actually has a good heart and a simple mind.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Bai Yiyi asked Li Jingwan to close the door and immediately asked, "Do you have any way to get me out of this damn place?"

"Miss, please tell me why you came here first, so that I can prescribe the right medicine for you."

When this matter was mentioned, Bai Yiyi's temper flared up, her almond-shaped eyes glared angrily, and she slapped the table with her right hand, "Ouch, it hurts..."

Li Jingwan found it funny, "Miss, don't hurt yourself."

Bai Yiyi rubbed her palms, "It's all the fault of those two bitches Chen and Bai Lixuan."

"That sinister woman, Chen, said one thing to my face and another behind my back. After she was made the second wife, she treated me well on the surface, but in fact, she often cheated me and said bad things about me in front of my father."

"And her daughter, Bai Lixuan, pretends to be weak and fragile, and cries at the slightest provocation. Others think I've been bullying her."

"My father believed what they said and became increasingly cold to me. It was Bai Lixuan who fell into the pool on her own last time, but he insisted that I pushed her. It clearly had nothing to do with me!"

Recalling the reason why she was sent here, Bai Yiyi was so angry that she was about to roar.

"I was standing by the pool, and she came over and said there were bugs on my head, and she reached out to touch my hair. I was impatient with her, so I put my hand out to block her, and then I touched her hand. I swear I didn't push her, but she fell backwards and fell into the pool."

"As soon as she fell in, the old woman from Chen's courtyard ran out, saying that she saw me push Bai Lixuan into the pool with her own eyes. That bitch Bai Lixuan cried and said that I didn't do it on purpose, I just didn't like her."

Li Jingwan asked, "Miss, is your maid not here?"

Bai Yiyi shook her head angrily, "I don't know where the maid went. I was alone at the time."

Li Jingwan understood. It seemed that Bai Lixuan and her daughter had specially chosen, or created, this opportunity.

The maidservant around Bai Yiyi probably also has problems and may have been bribed by Chen a long time ago.
