The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

*

The old lady felt a little sleepy after drinking the medicine. After Li Qingqian took care of her, he returned to his Jingying Residence.

"The prescription given by Miss Song is really good. The old lady has only drunk it a few times, and her spirits are much better than when we just returned to Beijing." Yun Yi smiled and massaged Li Qingqian's shoulders.

Li Qingqian looked at the prescription and found that although the medicinal materials on it were expensive, they were also used by ordinary officials in Dawei and were considered common.

But... she held a small porcelain bottle given by Song Ningyan, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.

Why does it look a bit like blood? Li Qingqian frowned unconsciously.

Seeing her like this, Yun Shang, who was serving tea, couldn't help but speak up: "If the young lady is worried, why don't we use the prescription given by the second young lady, lest she use some method to harm our old lady. With the means of the young master, how could he not find the best doctor in the world?"

Isn't she even better than Miss Song, the unmarried young lady? Yun Shang added quietly in her heart.

"Then tell me, how do you think the prince can find a better doctor than the current Miss Song?" Li Qingqian looked at her with a slightly cold gaze.

This was not the first time that Yun Chang had targeted An Ning inexplicably.

I listened to Shen Changyun's advice and went to find An Ning to treat my grandmother. This proved that even Shen Changyun couldn't find a doctor with better medical skills than her.

There are still Liu and Li Shuyue in the mansion who are eyeing her and her grandmother. If Aning can cure the grandmother who raised her since she was a child, then even if the other party is a demon, she will never allow the people around her to be so malicious towards her.

Yun Chang's eyes flickered a little, "Miss, Miss, I am doing this for your own good. I am afraid that you will get hurt..."

lie!

Li Qingqian placed the porcelain bottle heavily on the table, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and instructed Yunyi: "Go and keep an eye on grandma's medicinal herbs, and don't let anyone with ulterior motives mix anything in that shouldn't be mixed in."

After Yunyi left, Yunchang knew that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and subconsciously wanted to escape. She bowed to Li Qingqian and said, "I will go and help Yunyi."

"Stop." Li Qingqian put away the porcelain bottle and looked at her.

"What else do you want, young lady?"

"Kneel down."

Yun Chang knelt down obediently in response.

"Now there are only you and me in this room, just tell me the truth, why are you so hostile to Ah Ning?"

Yun Shang raised her head, eyes slightly red, and said, "I dare not lie. I am really just afraid that the young lady will be hurt. The second young lady Song has changed a lot in the past two years. Our second young master has also investigated privately, but she is indeed the cold and aloof second young lady as before. I wondered if some evil spirit had possessed her... This is not just my random guess. The second young master also had doubts about this."

So, Yun Shang thought that An Ning was possessed by an evil spirit, and the price of agreeing to let her cure her grandmother might be something like sucking away her essence?

Li Qingqian frowned slightly. If Yun Shang was loyal to him, he would not find fault with her. "Forget it, get up."

As Yun Shang stood up, Li Qingqian recalled the expression on her face when she talked about her second brother just now. She seemed to have seen that look somewhere before.

So he asked tentatively: "Yun Shang, are you attracted to my second brother?"

Yun Shang's body froze, her face looked extremely unnatural, and she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I, I..."

It seems that it is probably the case.

Li Qingqian sighed helplessly, "You are only two years younger than me and Yunyi. If you have feelings for my second brother, I can understand. But Yunshang, do you know how difficult this road is?"

Yun Shang lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her fingers, and blushed, not daring to speak.

"I know what kind of personality my second brother has. Given his character, he may not necessarily accept a concubine. Especially as his younger sister, it is not appropriate for me to send my maid to his room."

Yun Shang looked up in surprise, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "What do you mean, young lady?"

Li Qingqian smiled slightly, walked to the desk in the inner room, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, "I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, please go and deliver this letter to Jinlu Academy as soon as possible."

This was not stated explicitly in the letter; she was just testing her second brother's mind.

Yun Shang took the letter with trembling hands and walked out quickly.

Li Qingqian took a deep breath. His second brother had always been arrogant and even remained unmarried in his previous life.

She once asked him the reason, and the second brother just smiled and said that the only person he wanted to marry in his life was gone, and that if it wasn't that person, no one else would be interesting.

In her previous life, Yun Shang followed him into the palace, but was beaten to death by Jiang Lin because she made a small mistake.

If she is the person that my second brother couldn't get in his previous life, then I don't want them to miss her a second time.

Jinlu Academy is neither close nor far from the Li Mansion. In the evening, Yunchang came back with another letter.

Li Qingqian took the letter, opened it, and looked at Yun Shang reluctantly.

The content of the second brother's letter was equally implicit, but...

"My second brother said that after he passes the palace examination next year, he will ask father to go with him to propose marriage." Li Qingqian brought the letter to the candlestick, and the flames gradually burned the paper.

It seemed to imply that something would also perish. Looking at the piece of letter paper that was about to be burned to ashes, Yun Chang's heart suddenly tightened.

It was not that she did not understand what Li Qingqian meant. She wanted to pass the palace examination before proposing marriage, so she must be a noble lady.

Yun Shang closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, her voice was a little hoarse: "I will follow the young lady's instructions."

Li Qingqian looked at her, took out a small box from under the cabinet beside the bed, and waved to Yun Shang, motioning her to come over.

"You were originally a maid who served me since you were young, and you were arranged to stay with my grandmother when I left Beijing. Instead of becoming a concubine to those noble families, it would be better for you and Yunyi to wait until you are old enough, and then I will find two families of scholars and marry you off in a grand manner."

Hearing her words, Yun Shang's heart trembled, "Miss... don't you plan to punish me?"

The Li family has always had strict rules, and Li Zhengkang has never allowed his two sons to get involved in bad habits. If he knew that he had feelings for the second young master, he would at least be beaten with a dozen sticks and then find a reason to send him out.

Li Qingqian knew what she was thinking, so she took her hand and said with a smile, "Grandmother pities me, and when she chose maids for me, she chose you two with clean family backgrounds. I pity you too, and I don't want you to end up in such a miserable situation. You are just tempted by love, which is human nature, so I won't punish you for this."

Yun Chang's eyes turned red again, tears welled up in her eyes, "Girl..."

Li Qingqian gently embraced her in his arms and patted her back gently. "These are the dowries I prepared for you and Yunyi. When I have established a firm foothold in the Shen family, I will remove your status as prostitutes and let you marry off as decent citizens."

When she said this, she looked at Yun Shang seriously, "But there is one more thing. Yun Yi is two years older than you, and I am in a wealthy family like the Shen family. It will take at least two or three years for me to get used to it. By then, she will be quite old. Besides, Yun Yi suffered a lot with me during those three years..."

"Miss, you mean that Yunyi's dowry will be larger than mine," Yunshang shook her head. "Miss, you know what I'm thinking, but you didn't punish me. You even made plans for my future. I'm grateful for that. Besides, Yunyi and I have always had a good relationship. How could I be jealous of her?"

Li Qingqian nodded. Yun Shang was a smart girl. "If you become a concubine to a noble family, you will be rich. But I don't know what the future holds. If you marry a scholar, I can still support you. Of course, if you have such an idea, I will do my best to help you live a good life."

Yun Chang's eyes were filled with tears, and she was filled with endless gratitude. "Miss, since you have thought so much for me, I will definitely be more loyal to you in the future, and I will never forget you until I die!"

Li Qingqian then hugged her in his arms to comfort her.

Yun Shang is still young, and this action of his can make her completely loyal. It will also be much easier to clean up the mixed Li Mansion in the future. This is what Li Qingqian has calculated in his mind.

But besides the calculations, there are also some emotions.

In her previous life, she had never considered Yunyi and Yunshang's marriage, but they had never been unfaithful to her, which made her feel even more guilty.

I just occasionally recall that in my previous life, it seemed that I only loved myself and not others.

Even when facing Jiang Lin, he only wanted to make the rest of his life peaceful, without a trace of true love.

But when I think back on everything in this life, I clearly feel sorry for Yunyi, Yunshang, my two brothers, my sister-in-law and my little nephew, but why was I so cold in my previous life?
