Li Jingwan paused, but did not look back and continued forward.

If Song Qingyan could be reborn again, I hope she would choose a path that would make her truly happy.

As soon as she walked out of the dungeon, Li Jingwan saw the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion parked outside.

As soon as she looked over, Chu Tingyu opened the car window and smiled at her gently.

Li Jingwan felt warm in her heart. Chu Tingyu came here specially because he was worried about her safety, but he did not go in to disturb her meeting with Song Qingyan.

She smiled back, walked quickly to the carriage, took Chu Tingyu's outstretched hand, and held it firmly.

She thanked God for giving her this chance to be reborn, allowing her to meet Chu Tingyu and find true happiness.

On the night she left the dungeon, Li Jingwan received news from the Dali Temple:

Song Qingyan is dead.

After meeting Li Jingwan, Song Qingyan finally signed the testimony and confession without saying a word.

After signing, she was sent back to the cell and was very calm along the way.

Just as the jailer untied her handcuffs and leg irons and was about to replace them with the chains on the wall, Song Qingyan suddenly pushed the jailer away, slammed into the wall, and died on the spot.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jingwan sighed softly, not out of sympathy, but rather a sense of pity.

It's a pity that she wasted the opportunity to be reborn, and ended up living a worse life than in her previous life.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to pursue better things, but it must not be based on oppressing or harming others. Otherwise, it will be like carrying water with a bamboo basket and ultimately end up with nothing.

The next morning, just as Li Jingwan got up, another message came -

Zhao Yunying hanged herself in the middle of the night.

That day in Yikun Palace, although Zhao Yunying's true identity and her crimes were revealed, after waking up, Zhong Shi could not bear it because of the mother-daughter relationship they had established over the years.

She knelt down and begged Concubine Zhong to spare Zhao Yunying for the fact that she was instigated by Song Qingyan, and not to send her to the Dali Temple. She would definitely punish her severely.

Concubine Zhong had no choice but to agree. She brought Zhao Yunying back to the mansion and locked her in her courtyard, asking her to copy scriptures and meditate to atone for her sins.

Song Qingyan died after hitting her head against the wall last night. The Dali Temple dared not fail to report it and sent runners to inform the Zhong family.

Zhao Yunying learned about this after asking her maid to inquire about the matter. She hanged herself in her bedroom in the middle of the night and left behind a suicide note confessing her guilt.

In her suicide note, she thanked Zhong for her love and upbringing over the years, and regretted not telling the truth but covering it up with a crime. She admitted that she had failed to educate her daughter and brought shame to the family, and requested that she and Song Qingyan be buried next to Lin's tomb, and that she be forgiven in the next life.

In accordance with her will, Zhong finally buried Zhao Yunying and her daughter in the Lin family's cemetery, allowing three generations of blood-related grandparents and grandchildren to reunite underground.

The death of Zhao Yunying and Song Qingyan dealt a huge blow to Zhong, and he fell ill and never recovered.

Fortunately, with Qin Chongxiao's company and Xu Rui's treatment, she gradually recovered and finally fulfilled her promise to Concubine Zhong and attended the wedding banquet on the day of Li Jingwan and Chu Tingyu's wedding.

On August 28th, common people in the capital gathered on the roadside to watch the boxes of dowry being carried out from General Zhenyuan's Mansion.

Ten miles of red makeup, stretching endlessly.

Everyone was amazed that Li Jingwan's second marriage was even more grand than her first one, with at least three hundred boxes of dowry, which really showed her wealth.

In the general's mansion, Li Jingwan was carried to the main gate by Li Dingzheng and then carefully put down.

Amid the sound of suona, the matchmaker joyfully spoke auspicious words and invited her to get into the sedan chair.

But Li Jingwan lifted her veil, revealing a face as bright as summer flowers yet fresh.

"Mother." Li Jingwan held Yao's hand reluctantly, "Please take care of yourself. I will come home to visit you often."

Yao suppressed her sadness, smiled and nodded, "Jingwan, mother will be relieved if you are doing well."

She hopes that her daughter, who is getting married this time, can find true happiness.

The matchmaker smiled carefully and said, "Princess, the auspicious time has come. Please get on the sedan chair."

"Go ahead." Yao reached out and put down the opened veil, "Don't miss the time."

Li Dingzheng held her hand and walked her to the wedding sedan chair, whispering, "Don't worry, elder sister, I'm here."

These words made Li Jingwan burst into tears.

Before she got married last time, Li Dingzheng said exactly the same thing to her.

Li Jingwan nodded and held his hand tightly before letting go.

The matchmaker shouted "lift the sedan chair". Amid the sound of firecrackers, the sounds of gongs, drums and suona became louder. Li Jingwan lifted a corner of the car curtain, looked at the reluctant eyes of her mother and younger siblings, and smiled with tears in her eyes.

Before she got married last time, she had expectations for her future life, but she was also confused and worried.

But this time, after going through a lot, she became more confident and no longer afraid.

She believed in Chu Tingyu, and even more so, she believed that her destiny was in her own hands.

-

Chu Tingyu came to the bridal chamber slightly drunk. The nanny guarding outside the room saw him step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."

She was the teaching nanny sent by Concubine Zhong from the palace. There was a rule in the palace that when a prince married, a teaching nanny was required to guide the princess on related matters.

Although Li Jingwan had been married before, this step was still necessary, it was just simplified.

She only needed to have the teaching nanny Cheng come and say a few words to her on the wedding day, instead of going to the general's mansion five days before the wedding.

"What's the matter?" Chu Tingyu frowned slightly, "What's wrong with the princess?"

The nanny didn't say directly, "Your Majesty, please move."

Chu Tingyu was a little worried and followed her to the side, "What happened?"

The nanny's voice was still very low, "Your Majesty, I told the princess about the wedding night according to the rules. The princess said she was still a virgin..."

Chu Tingyu was stunned.

Li Jingwan has been married to Qin Changzhou for nearly nine years, but... Qin Changzhou's aunt gave birth to several children for him.

He was not surprised, only heartbroken. Li Jingwan had suffered so much in the past.

"You don't need to tell the imperial concubine about this." Chu Tingyu said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Mammy nodded.

Chu Tingyu composed himself, walked into the bridal chamber, lifted the veil with a wedding scale, and met Li Jingwan's shy gaze.

He couldn't help but smile and held Li Jingwan's hand, "Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Li Jingwan shook her head, "It's just that the headdress is a little heavy."

"Then take it off first." Chu Tingyu felt heavy when he looked at the phoenix crown.

Although it was different from the procedure, the matchmaker did not dare to disobey. She asked the maid to take off the phoenix crown first, and after saying that the wedding wine was on the table, she tactfully led the others to leave.

Chu Tingyu pulled Li Jingwan to sit at the table, first handed her a glass of wine, and changed the address to "Madam."

Li Jingwan blushed immediately, took the wine glass, and readily picked up another glass of wine and handed it over, "Husband."

The two smiled at each other and drank the wedding wine together.

Putting down the wine glass, Li Jingwan felt a little uncomfortable facing Chu Tingyu's gentle smile, "Your Highness, Nanny has already told you..."
