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

"What did you say?!"

Chu Tingyu was so shocked that he completely lost his usual calmness and composure, and his surprised expression made him look more like a normal person.

He asked in disbelief, "Is it really him? Are you sure?"

Li Jingwan nodded and said with certainty, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Brother Qin."

She had just told Chu Tingyu that Qin Chongxiao was still alive and was serving as a military advisor to Wu Shilie, and Chu Tingyu had indeed reacted strongly.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and verified it with her own mouth, she would have found it hard to believe that a person who had been "dead" for almost four years was still alive and lurking in the enemy camp.

"Although Brother Qin was wearing a mask, he told me about things that happened to me and the First Madam in the past. Only a few of us know these things, and no one else can know them."

"In fact, I was also surprised at first, but didn't Ding Zheng also fall off a cliff and still be alive?" Li Jingwan said, "It is possible that Brother Qin could survive."

Thinking of Li Dingzheng, Chu Tingyu felt that it made sense, and he believed in Li Jingwan's prudence, so his expression changed from surprise to surprise.

"Thank God, I didn't have the heart to let them be harmed by Qin Changzhou, so I let them all survive."

Although one person lost his memory and the other's face was disfigured, at least they are both alive.

"After the matter on the northwest border is resolved, Brother Qin will return to the capital. The first lady might faint from joy." Li Jingwan imagined the scene at that time. "By then, Doctor Xu will have to be there to watch over her."

Speaking of Lin, Chu Tingyu's face darkened slightly, but he had to say it.

"Miss Li, when you disappeared, there was a piece of news from the capital that was related to the Lin family."

"What happened to the Madam?" Li Jingwan asked hurriedly, "Did you find any clues about her daughter?"

"No." Chu Tingyu shook his head.

Seeing his heavy face, Li Jingwan's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling, "Prince, could it be that... the First Madam is ill?"

It’s even worse than this, Chu Tingyu sighed inwardly.

"On his way back to the city from Zhaoyun Temple, Lin was killed by robbers and his body was thrown into the river."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Li Jingwan directly on the head, leaving her unable to react for a moment, with only astonishment and pain in her eyes.

After a long moment, she spoke, "Why? Why?"

Don’t ask Chu Tingyu, ask God.

Why did fate treat Lin like this?

Her daughter was taken away on the day she was born. She suffered every day. Later, she lost her adopted son, was poisoned and driven crazy, and was almost burned to death.

She finally escaped from the misery of Wu'an Marquis Mansion and began to look for her biological daughter. Qin Chongxiao was still alive. Li Jingwan thought that she had finally gotten her reward after all the suffering, but she died at the hands of robbers.

Tears poured out, Li Jingwan lowered her head and cried, grieving for Lin.

God gave her a chance to be reborn, so she escaped the tragic experience of her previous life, but Lin still died a violent death in this life, without seeing her adopted son or finding her daughter.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly from crying, and Chu Tingyu felt uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, he stood up, walked to Li Jingwan, and patted her back.

It turns out that her body is so weak, but she has such great strength and tenacity.

This was what his brother had done to him when he was sad in the past.

"Miss Li, the dead cannot be resurrected, so take care of yourself." He said softly, "I have sent people to capture the murderer who killed Lin, and I will make them pay with their lives."

When Li Jingwan came back to her senses from her sadness, she found Chu Tingyu patting her back to comfort her. She quickly wiped her tears and stood up, revealing a pair of red eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will...will definitely avenge the First Lady. Although she is gone, I will fulfill her wish and help her find her daughter."

"Okay." Chu Tingyu nodded, "I'm also asking people to continue searching."

Li Jingwan still had tear marks on her face and she was crying as she spoke, "Next time I go see Brother Qin, if he asks about the Madam's recent situation, I really don't know how to start."

"Have you made an appointment to meet?" Chu Tingyu asked.

"Yes." Li Jingwan nodded, "Brother Qin said that he would go to the Holy Medical Hall in the Xirong capital to get medicine on the first and fifteenth of every month. I can meet him then and help him pass on the message."

"what news?"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Jingwan's face turned serious.

"When Brother Qin let me go last night, he was unwilling to go with me. He said he stayed to avenge his brothers who died in the war more than three years ago."

She lowered her voice a little, "He said... he suspected that there was a spy in the Sheng Dynasty, which led to the defeat."

Hearing this, a ripple appeared in Chu Tingyu's deep eyes.

Qin Chongxiao's suspicion coincided with his guess.

The war more than three years ago came too suddenly and the Western Rong caught them off guard.

However, he was not in Tacheng at the time because of something else. When he rushed back, he had already suffered a miserable defeat.

He later reviewed the battle and found that although the Western Rong attacked suddenly, they were not unprepared. Instead, they were very familiar with the key combat strategies planned by the Sheng Dynasty.

The emperor punished many people in the end, and the Ministry of War also wrote a detailed review and analysis of the war situation, but none of them mentioned the traitor. This battle was a rare and tragic defeat in the prosperous dynasty, and in the end no one dared to mention it again for fear of angering the emperor.

Qin Chongxiao, who has now joined the war, also said that there is a spy, which shows that this matter is not simple.

"Miss Li, when are you and Chongxiao going to meet?"

"The first day of next month."

"I will go with you."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate..." Li Jingwan was a little worried, "The Xirong capital is more strictly managed than Reduo, and has a large number of troops. If you go there..."

"Miss Li, I need to meet with Chongxiao in person." Chu Tingyu interrupted her and explained, "This is about the war between Sheng Dynasty and Xirong. If there really is a spy, we must find him as soon as possible."

She knew that she couldn't persuade him, and that the matter was indeed serious. It would be best if Chu Tingyu could talk to Qin Chongxiao in person.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go, then we must have a reasonable identity that will not arouse suspicion."

"Otherwise, like today at the Redo City Gate, if you can't give them a convincing reason when you're questioned, you'll get into trouble."

Especially in the capital of Xirong, the interrogation there will be even more thorough.

Chu Tingyu also had the same idea, "I will order someone to prepare it."

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, please have someone check the details of the Saint Medical Hall." Li Jingwan thought of something, "If we can meet Brother Qin with the help of the Saint Medical Hall, it will be the safest."

"Okay." Chu Tingyu nodded.

Li Jingwan then brought up the matter of Yeqilu provoking Wushilie. The two did have a deep conflict, and Yeqilu was uniting other tribes in order to further strengthen his own strength and suppress Wushilie.

If we can take advantage of this and let them fight from within, we can reduce the pressure on Sheng Dynasty.

Chu Tingyu listened to her well-reasoned analysis with admiration in his eyes and love for her in his heart.

She had been kidnapped for a few days, and after returning, she did not seem to be afraid or panicked. Instead, she was thinking about conveying messages and making suggestions.

The woman he liked was indeed extraordinary.

Li Jingwan said a lot, but skipped the fact that Ye Qilu gave her the cat's eye stone.

Anyway, she was wearing a mask and was deaf-mute, so she would never have any contact with Yeqilu in the future.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Speaking up will only make them worry.

Finally they talked about Li Jingwan being hunted down.

Chu Tingyu talked about the torture of the killer. At present, the killer has returned to Beijing with the guards. After contacting Wutou, he tried to lure out the person behind the scenes.

Li Jingwan was puzzled. "Except for the Qin family, I have no grudges against anyone else. Although Qin Lingyun escaped, she should not be able to do that."

"I think so." Chu Tingyu agreed with her. "She is a fugitive now, and she doesn't have that much money to bribe Wutou's killer. She can't even get in touch with Wutou."

"That's strange." Li Jingwan frowned, "Who would hate me so much that he would let a killer chase me for thousands of miles?"

"Han Feng and Liu Yun will conduct a secret investigation in the capital. If there is any suspicion, they will be arrested immediately." There was a calm and fierce tone in Chu Tingyu's voice.

This pursuit put Li Jingwan in danger several times, and he would never let her go.

"Miss Li, in order to find out who was behind this, I asked the killer to report to Wutou that you had been killed, but I also asked Hanfeng to inform your mother so they wouldn't worry."

"During this period of time, I will ask you to not use your real name and hide your identity. You must also bring someone to protect you when you go out."

Li Jingwan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for your arrangement, Your Majesty. I will definitely pay more attention to it."

After the two chatted for a while, although Chu Tingyu was reluctant to leave, he knew that Li Jingwan had not slept well these days, so he asked her to go back and rest first.

After returning to a familiar and safe place, Li Jingwan finally had a good sleep and did not wake up until noon.

After getting up, she immediately went to find Li Dingzheng, and Xu Rui happened to be taking his pulse.

After the examination, Li Jingwan and Xu Rui went to the side and asked about their brother's condition.

Xu Rui told the truth. Li Jingwan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly cheered up.

As long as her brother is by her side, she can wait for him to recover anytime.

Chu Tingyu was not at home, so Li Jingwan accompanied Li Dingzheng for lunch and chatted with the cow tenant for a while.

She first thanked him very solemnly for saving her brother and taking care of him over the years.

The cow tenant quickly waved his hands and said that he was just doing what everyone would do in such a situation.

He had been informed of Li Dingzheng's true identity by Xiang Mingfang. Compared with the sacrifices made by several generations of the Li family to defend the northwest border, what he did was nothing more than insignificant.

Considering that he was alone, Li Jingwan asked him to return to the capital with them when the time comes, so that she could take care of him and let him spend his old age in peace.

The tenant farmer Niu did not agree immediately, but only said that he would accompany Li Dingzheng to treat his illness for a while.

Li Jingwan guessed that he was unwilling to leave his hometown and rashly go to the unfamiliar capital, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

Anyway, no matter where Niu Dianhu chooses to live in the end, she will arrange his life well, and the Li family will repay him well.

In the afternoon, Chu Tingyu returned to the mansion and brought Li Jingwan an unexpected news.

The Holy Medical Hall in the capital of Xirong is the property of the Bai family of Tacheng.

"Is it opened by Bai Yiyi's family?" Li Jingwan asked in surprise.

"Yes." Chu Tingyu nodded, "To be precise, it was the dowry of Bai Yiyi's mother, Tian. After Tian married into the Bai family, the Saint Doctor Hall was run by the Bai family."

Li Jingwan remembered that Bai Yiyi once mentioned that her biological mother's family was in the medicinal materials business. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Since it's a Sheng Dynasty medicine shop, it will be easy." Li Jingwan immediately had an idea, "We can pretend to be the owner of the Holy Medical Hall and go to check the shop, so that no one will be suspicious."

The Holy Medical Hall had been operating in the Xirong capital for several years, so who would doubt the owner of the pharmacy who occasionally checked on him?

"Good idea." Chu Tingyu thought it was feasible. "This matter must not be leaked. The Bai family must not only cooperate, but also keep their mouth shut."

Li Jingwan's eyes turned, "Tomorrow is Madam Bai's birthday. We can go to Bai Yiyi's father on the pretext of celebrating her birthday, and by the way, we can investigate whether the Bai family can do a good thing."

If the Bai family is incompetent or cannot figure things out, then they will find another way.

After all, when it comes to Chu Tingyu, safety is the most important thing.

She also took this opportunity to find Bai Yiyi, as she still remembered her promise to Bai Yiyi.

Help her take back what belongs to her.

-

White House.

It was Mrs. Bai’s 60th birthday, and the Bai family’s master, Bai Hong, was filial and arranged the birthday party in a very lively manner.

Not only did he set up a stage three days in advance to invite everyone to watch a play and drink tea, but he also held a grand banquet in the mansion that day, with people coming and going and the sound of firecrackers constantly ringing.

Although Shunchang Trading Company had not been open for long, its business was booming and it had connections in Beijing, so Xiang Mingfang had already received the invitation.

So he took gifts and took Li Jingwan and Chu Tingyu to Bai's house to celebrate his birthday.

The three of them were in the open, and were protected secretly by guards in casual clothes.

The Bai family is a famous merchant in Tacheng and their business is good, so many people come to celebrate their birthday.

Bai Hong did not greet the guest.

With his current status, unless the guest is an extremely distinguished one, he does not need to stand at the door to greet him. He only needs to help Old Madam Bai show up before the birthday party begins.

After guests enter the mansion, female guests will be welcomed into the inner courtyard because of the differences between men and women.

Li Jingwan could just go find Bai Yiyi, "Prince, you and Xiang Bo go shopping first, I'll go find Bai Yiyi."

Chu Tingyu nodded, "Be careful, there will be two guards outside the inner courtyard, don't go too far."

"I see."

She followed the maid of Bai Mansion to the inner courtyard and asked her on the way, "Where is Miss Bai? I have something to ask her."

"The young lady should rest in her room," the maid replied.

On such an important day, Bai Yiyi doesn't come out to accompany Old Madam Bai?

At least she should greet the female guest in the inner courtyard, after all, she is the eldest daughter.

Li Jingwan asked again, "Is she feeling unwell?"

The maids mainly did rough work like sweeping and cleaning, and they didn’t know clearly, “This servant doesn’t know.”

There were quite a few people in the inner courtyard, and as soon as you entered you could hear bursts of women's laughter.

Li Jingwan walked towards the sound and saw a group of female guests sitting in the garden drinking tea and chatting.

The weather is clear today and the sun is very warm on our bodies. Sitting here is a good choice.

The person sitting in the main seat was not old lady Bai, but a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver jewelry. Her jewelry was very conspicuous, making her look a bit tacky, and she had a smug smile on her face.

Li Jingwan guessed that she should be the stepmother Chen mentioned by Bai Yiyi.

Sitting next to her was a girl of similar age to Bai Yiyi, also dressed in gorgeous attire, which completely suppressed the youthfulness that should be present at this age.

This should be Chen’s daughter Bai Lixuan.

Li Jingwan looked around but didn't see Bai Yiyi.

She was just about to find a maid to ask where Bai Yiyi lived when she heard a guest ask, "Mrs. Bai, why don't you see Miss Bai?"
