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

After talking to her mother, Li Jingwan saw that she looked tired, so she asked the maid to come in and serve her.

When she arrived at the side hall, Li Langqing and Li Huirou were waiting for her.

The two are siblings from the same mother, but their biological mother died early, so they were raised by Yao herself.

Although there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the Yao family has always treated them equally, and the relationship between brothers and sisters has always been good.

Seeing Li Jingwan coming out, the two stood up, walked up to her and bowed, "Eldest sister."

After a lifetime, Li Jingwan looked at the two of them carefully.

Li Huirou is fourteen years old this year. She has a pretty appearance and her personality is like her name, smart and gentle, but a little too gentle.

In her previous life, she and her mother had found an excellent marriage for her half sister, but just when they were about to finalize it, Li Huirou accidentally fell into the river and died.

At Qin Changzhou's suggestion, she proposed marriage for Qin Lingyun and helped Qin Lingyun marry into a wealthy family.

Li Langqing was only one year older than Qin Guangyao, and he was only eleven years old. He had loved wielding swords and guns since he was a child, but three generations of men in the Li family had died in battle, and Yao was determined not to let him go to the battlefield, but to teach him literature instead.

Li Langqing was not a good student and never passed the imperial examination. Finally, relying on the Li family's connections, he went to the city defense station. After being framed by the Marquis's Mansion for collaborating with the enemy, he was also arrested.

Before she died, Tang Qiaoyin told her that Li Huirou's death was deliberately caused by the Marquis' Mansion in order to get rid of Li Huirou and let Qin Lingyun replace her and marry into a wealthy family.

Li Langqing died in court after suffering multiple rounds of punishment because he refused to admit that the Li family had colluded with the enemy and committed treason.

Thinking of this, Li Jingwan felt heartbroken. She hated the Marquis' Mansion and herself even more.

While she was devoted to Qin Lingyun and Qin Guangyao, she ignored her own younger siblings, causing their tragic deaths.

In this life, she will definitely protect them.

Trying her best to suppress the regret and grief in her heart, Li Jingwan held the two men's hands, her voice choked with sobs.

"Father and Ding Zheng are gone, and mother can only rely on the three of us. My eldest sister rarely comes home, so the mansion depends entirely on you."

Li Huirou and Li Langqing both had tears in their eyes.

"Hui Rou, you are gentle and careful, but if you encounter something, you must tell your elder sister, and don't keep it in your heart."

Li Huirou nodded, "Yes, elder sister."

Li Jingwan looked at her half-brother again, "Lang Qing, you have to study hard. You are the only male left in the mansion."

"I know, elder sister." Li Langqing sniffed, "I will study hard, and I will protect you, mother, and second sister."

Li Jingwan smiled with relief, "I know you want to learn martial arts, but you still have to study, otherwise you won't be able to understand military books."

Li Langqing's eyes lit up, "Eldest sister, are you saying I can go to war?"

"Not now." Li Jingwan did not agree immediately, "You are still young and your future is uncertain. The most important thing now is to study and learn more knowledge."

"Okay, elder sister." Li Langqing nodded heavily, "I will listen to you."

She will plan for Li Langqing's future and will never let his talent be buried like in his previous life.

After talking for a while, Li Jingwan called the housekeeper Xiang Mingfang alone.

Xiang Mingfang is a domestic servant in the mansion. He is the same age as Li Beiwang, capable and loyal, and manages the mansion very well.

Li Jingwan chatted with him for a while and then got back to the point, "Uncle Xiang, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Please speak, Miss."

"I want to do silk and tea business in the northwest."

Xiang Mingfang was very surprised, "Why would Miss have such an idea?"

"Of course I want to make more money." Li Jingwan said with a smile.

"Silk and tea are in short supply in the northwest, especially in the border countries. The royal families and wealthy people like these things very much. They buy as many as they can. The price is several times higher than in the capital."

Making money is only one of the purposes. The most important thing is to find his younger brother Li Dingzheng.

Now she can only be sure that Li Dingzheng is in the northwest, but the northwest is so big that it is too difficult to find someone, so she must arrange spies and manpower.

She will make plans after the caravan has established a foothold in the northwest. By then, she will also have a reason to go to the northwest.

"Miss is right, but the risk is too great." Xiang Mingfang analyzed, "From the capital to the northwest, the only way is by land, which takes a long time and is prone to banditry. In addition, the northwest border is not peaceful. If the caravan is targeted, it will lose all its money."

"It is precisely because the risk is high that the return is high." Li Jingwan has made up her mind, "So I'm going to discuss with you, Uncle Xiang, what do I need to do if I want to do business in the northwest?"

Xiang Mingfang thought for a while before saying, "If there is an escort agency to escort us, the risk will be much smaller. However, there are very few escort agencies willing to go to the northwest now, and even if they are willing to go, the price they offer is extremely high."

Li Jingwan smiled, "What if it's our own escort agency?"

Xiang Mingfang opened his eyes wide, not understanding what was going on. "Miss, what do you mean..."

Li Jingwan did not answer, but asked, "Is Coach Zhu still in the mansion?"

Xiang Mingfang understood now, "Yes, I'll get him over right away."

Coach Zhu’s real name is Zhu Gaozhi. He was a coach before he followed Li Beiwang to be stationed in the northwest, so everyone got used to calling him “Coach Zhu”.

He was injured on the battlefield. After returning to Beijing, he and other old soldiers in the Li family army who had nowhere to go were arranged to work in the general's mansion so that they could have a place to rely on in their old age.

Zhu Gaozhi walked in and greeted Li Jingwan in a loud voice, "Hello, Miss."

Then he glared at her, "Miss, why do you look so bad? Did you get wronged in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Seeing him lifting his sleeves to fight, Li Jingwan quickly said, "Coach Zhu, I'm fine. I just got sick a few days ago."

"The affairs of the Marquis' Mansion are very busy, and I feel that my health is a little worse than before." Li Jingwan took the opportunity to ask, "I want to improve my health, is there any way?"

Zhu Gaozhi was very familiar with these. "First, you should practice the Five Animals Exercises and the Horse Stance to lay a solid foundation. I will give you other things next time."

Li Jingwan thanked him, asked him to sit down, and explained her purpose. She wanted him to set up an escort company to escort the caravan to the northwest.

"That's great. We are familiar with the Northwest." Zhu Gaozhi's eyes lit up and his voice became louder.

"Miss, we are worried about having nothing to do every day and eating the rice in the mansion for free. Now that we can work for you, we will definitely do our best."

"Coach Zhu, I won't let you work for nothing." Li Jingwan knew that loyalty and interests were the most reliable. "The caravan makes money, and the escort agency gets a share of the profits. Coach Zhu, if you refuse, I won't look for you."

Zhu Gaozhi could only agree, his heart was filled with excitement, "Miss, you are as kind-hearted as the general, and you don't look down on us old useless people. Don't worry, if my caravan is robbed, I will tear off my head and give it to you."

"What does the young lady need your head for?" Xiang Mingfang scolded with a smile, "Just do your job well and stop bragging."

Zhu Gaozhi was an impatient person and left immediately after receiving the task.

Li Jingwan was just talking about something else. "Uncle Xiang, I have a guess now, but there is not much help in the Marquis's Mansion. Can you help me check something?"

Xiang Mingfang immediately stepped forward, "Miss, please give me your instructions."

......

After having lunch and talking with Yao for a while, Li Jingwan reluctantly left and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as we entered the second door, a maid from Youlan Pavilion came forward quickly and said in a low voice, "Madam, the Marquis came to see you. He looked very unhappy and had a very bad temper."
