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

The more Zhao Yunying listened, the more confused she became. "Yan'er, what's going on?"

Song Qingyan said, "A few days ago, Wutou sent a message saying that Li Jingwan had been killed by the assassins sent out in Tacheng."

Although she knew this would be the result, Zhao Yunying still held Song Qingyan's hand tightly, feeling guilty and hating herself.

Li Jingwan helped Lin so much, but she harmed her biological mother's savior.

"Why are you telling me now?"

"Mom, I wanted to tell you right away, but Duan Wu came that day and said that Li Jingwan was not dead at all."

"What?" Zhao Yunying's eyes widened. "How...how is it possible? How did he know?"

"One of the assassins Wutou sent to kill Li Jingwan was his good friend. Although Wutou was strict, they were in contact privately."

"They agreed that no matter who goes on a mission, they will tell the other what to do, and they must report safety at least once within ten days. But this time, his friend has not sent any news for more than ten days, which means he has been killed."

Zhao Yunying guessed, "Could it be that he was caught while on a mission?"

"No." Song Qingyan shook her head, "Because Wutou said that the two killers have left Tacheng, which means they are still alive, which means Wutou is lying."

"Maybe Duan Wu lied to you?"

"I thought about that, so I spent a lot of money to bribe a servant in General Zhenyuan's mansion and asked him to monitor the situation in the mansion. According to Wutou, Li Jingwan has been dead for half a month, and the news should have been passed back to the general's mansion long ago."

"But this servant said that Yao and the others did not have any abnormal reactions, and they were not sad at all. The mansion was very peaceful. Mother, it is clear that Wutou is lying to us. Li Jingwan is not dead at all!"

Zhao Yunying held Song Qingyan's hand tighter, "She is not dead... Why would Wutou lie to you? Could it be..."

A thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Could it be that Li Jingwan already knows?"

Song Qingyan's face looked a little bad, but she was still calm.

"No, mother. If she knew, she would have taken action long ago. Besides, Wutou is a well-organized organization, so it would be difficult for her to find us."

"But it's not impossible." Zhao Yunying was anxious, "Yan'er, don't underestimate her. She is a member of the Li family, she is capable, and she has the help of Prince Jing."

"Mom, that's why I asked you to come over to discuss. We still have a way." Song Qingyan calmed her down, "Duan Wu asked me to make a deal. As long as it goes through, we can eliminate this danger."

"What deal?" Zhao Yunying asked quickly.

Song Qingyan said word by word, "Eliminate the Aconitum."

Zhao Yunying was stunned and didn't believe it. "Duan Wu is Wutou's man, how could he have such an idea?"

"Duan Wu said that he violated Wutou's rules. According to the organization's regulations, he has no choice but to die. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he will be hunted down. Besides, he has a family, so he can't run away."

"Only by destroying Wutou can he survive. Once Wutou is destroyed, Li Jingwan will never know who is chasing her."

"Yan'er, you said that Wutou is very powerful. How can it be eliminated overnight?"

Song Qingyan already had a plan, "Mom, with Duan Wu providing information and the power of the court, we will definitely be able to do it."

"The imperial court?" Zhao Yunying seemed to have heard a fairy tale. "Are you crazy? How dare you let the imperial court get involved in this matter? As long as they get any clues, they may find out that we are the ones. Even if the imperial concubine goes to plead for mercy, it won't save us."

"Mom, please listen to it first." Song Qingyan said, "Of course I won't be so stupid. I already have a plan."

"The court has not taken action against Wutou because he never provokes officials and the palace. But if Wutou kidnaps, robs, or even harms officials and their families, do you think the court will still do nothing?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yunying looked at her.

Song Qingyan was able to say these words without changing her expression, and she seemed to be increasingly unrecognizing the daughter she had raised since childhood.

"Duan Wu would rob court officials and their relatives and leave evidence at the scene that he was the Wutou Killer. One of them was against you and your grandmother..."

"No." Zhao Yunying flatly refused, shook off her hand and stood up, "Song Qingyan, your grandmother is not in good health, and you actually want to use her as a chess piece."

"Mother, my grandmother is Concubine Zhong's sister. Only if she is also frightened, will Concubine Zhong take it seriously and plead with the emperor. Don't worry, I will be with you when the time comes. With me here, Duan Wu will never do anything reckless."

"No." Zhao Yunying still shook her head and looked at her disappointedly, "Yan'er, why are you so cruel?"

"Mom, am I not doing all this for you? So that we can have a good life in the future?" Song Qingyan growled.

She lowered her voice again, "In order to conceal your life experience, I found someone to get rid of Lin and hunt down Li Jingwan. Now that an accident has happened, I will find a way to eliminate Wutou and keep the secret."

"Mother." She stood up and walked to Zhao Yunying. "In less than half a month, I will marry Prince Ning and become the princess. Are you willing to just sit there and wait for Li Jingwan to find us out?"

"By then, not only will I be affected, but you, father, the entire Song family, and even the Zhao family will not be immune. Even if the emperor does not pursue the matter, will the Li family let us go? Will Li Jingwan let it go?"

"Mom!" Song Qingyan held her hand again, her voice trembling.

"My daughter promises that this is the last time. Please believe me. After I marry Queen Ning, all the previous things will disappear into thin air and have nothing to do with me anymore."

She shed tears and begged non-stop, "Mom, please help me one more time, please... Mom, please help me..."

Zhao Yunying didn't shake off her hand in the end.

She knew there was no turning back.

Even though I know I am drinking poison to quench my thirst, I cannot put down the cup of poison in my hand.

-

In recent days, several major events have occurred in the capital, all related to court officials.

Some officials were knocked unconscious and robbed on the way, and some officials' family members were kidnapped and demanded to pay huge ransoms.

The most sensational incident was that of Concubine Zhong's younger sister, Zhong.

Accompanied by her daughter and granddaughter, she was on her way back to the capital from burning incense at the temple when she was stopped and robbed in a remote place.

The murderer was extremely brutal. He killed two servants and a maid, and was about to attack Zhong. Song Qingyan fought back desperately and her right arm was scratched. Zhong also fainted from excessive shock.

Fortunately, several villagers passing by heard the noise and rushed over. The murderer fled and dropped a token in panic.

The information on the token shows that he is from the killer organization Aconitum.

When this incident happened, the capital was shocked.

Not only are the three members of the Zhong family relatives of Prince Jing Chu Tingyu, but Song Qingyan is also about to marry Prince Ning's wife, and has a noble status.

When the news reached the palace, Concubine Zhong immediately went to the emperor to cry and complain. Combined with the previous incidents, the emperor was furious and ordered Prince Ning Chu Tingjue to lead the troops personally to wipe out the Aconitum within five days.

No matter how powerful Wutou was, he could not defeat the heavy troops of the imperial court. In addition, with the help of someone secretly providing intelligence, this most famous killer organization in the Sheng Dynasty was quickly destroyed.

Anyone caught in Wutou would be executed on the spot or exiled immediately.

In less than five days, Aconitum ceased to exist and became a topic of conversation among the people of the capital.

The news of this big move in the capital soon spread to Tacheng.
