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

"I have been tolerant of you for a long time now. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself in the future, I will just divorce you!"

Jiang Lin said this viciously, completely disregarding Li Shuyue's feelings at the moment, he put his arm around Cui'er's shoulders and walked towards her yard.

Li Shuyue was extremely angry.

In the past, he was reluctant to give up the wealth and power behind him, and pretended to be deeply in love. Even after being humiliated by Li Qingqian and her husband, he never mentioned breaking off the engagement.

Now that we're married, I'm watching the Liu family fall into decline and I've been kicked out of the house by the Li family, yet they dare to treat me like this.

But she really couldn't divorce him or be divorced. The Li family didn't want her anymore, and the Liu family was unreliable. In her eyes, Jiang Lin was now her only life-saving straw.

No matter how Jiang Lin humiliated her now, Li Shuyue had to endure it. Only when she became the prince's consort or even the queen in the future, would she have the opportunity to take revenge.

The flames of hatred in Li Shuyue's eyes gradually surged.

It's all because of Li Qingqian! It's because of her that I'm the way I am now!

A person who has been oppressed and beaten by himself since childhood, actually started to oppress himself in various ways after he attached himself to the powerful and wealthy. It's really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!

Li Shuyue tried to calm down, looked at the Zhao sisters, forced a smile on her face, and said, "My memory is bad, I forgot that you are not yet married. But it doesn't matter, I am short of people around me anyway, why don't you just follow me first."

It sounds like she wants them to be her maids?

But they were also pampered when they were in the Liu family. Although they were not Liu Chengyin's biological daughters, they lived almost the same life as the only girl in the mansion.

Besides, their Zhao family was originally a prominent family like the Liu family. Speaking of which, Zhao Yu and Zhao Wan were originally daughters of legitimate families. If their family had not fallen into decline, how could they have fallen to the point of living under someone else's roof?

When she was in the Liu family, she was bullied openly and secretly by the mistress of the Liu family. It was unbearable already. Now she can't even live a decent life and has to be a maid. It's really humiliating.

Zhao Wan looked up at her sister reluctantly, but Zhao Yu touched her head with a wry smile and nodded to Li Shuyue, "In that case, I hope Madam will take good care of me in the future."

Li Shuyue was pleasantly surprised and arranged a room for the two of them.

This is good too. I can keep her by my side for a while, and when she is stable, I can make her Jiang Lin's concubine. Then these two will listen to me more.

Besides, although these two girls are not extremely beautiful, they have bright eyes and white teeth. Jiang Lin even took Cui'er in, so how could he not look down on these two?

After Li Shuyue left, Zhao Wan asked Zhao Yu depressedly: "Sister, why did you agree to her? How can we do such a shameful thing?"

Zhao Yu shook her head. "You don't know that the old lady of the Li family had already told me privately before I came here. The third lady of the Li family, who is now the wife of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, is a person with a plan in mind. She is now of noble status. If she wants to protect the two of us in the Jiang family, it will be easy."

Zhao Wan still didn't quite understand. "But, I see that Madam Jiang and the Crown Prince's wife are like water and fire, and now that Madam Jiang has been expelled from the Li Mansion, is the Crown Prince's wife still willing to intervene in her affairs?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and took out a few banknotes from her bag. "Look what this is?"

"So much silver?" Zhao Wan's eyes lit up instantly, "Where did you get it from, sister?"

"This is what the Crown Prince's wife secretly gave me when she asked her two maids to pick us up," Zhao Yu silently put away the banknotes, "So, we can only eat meat if we follow the Crown Prince's wife."

Zhao Wan nodded as if she understood, and whispered, "I understand. The sister Cui'er we saw just now was Madam Jiang's maid before, but now she's a concubine. Could she also be working for the Crown Prince's wife?"

Zhao Yu smiled, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "But we won't become concubines."

As expected, Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun were kept in the palace for another night, but when they returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, it was the Empress Dowager who personally arranged for a palace carriage to take them off.

No one knew what happened to them in the palace.

In the car, Li Qingqian held Shen Changyun's hand with a smile on her face, "So the story you told me before about Jiang's murder was just a prelude to today?"

Shen Changyun laughed dumbly: "I thought you would be scared, but I didn't expect you to be so interested in Yunzhou."

In fact, there were signs of the Yunzhou Jiang Chan murder case half a year ago, but it was not a big deal at the time and few people knew that someone had died.

It’s strange to talk about this. I had never heard of such a thing happening in Yunzhou in my previous life. Many things in this life seemed to happen suddenly.

But the reason he went to Yunzhou now was not mainly for this matter, but to investigate the truth behind his mother's death.

Liu is gone now, but she does not intend to let the truth be buried.

Now that my maternal grandfather's family has fallen into decline, and my brothers have to stay in Beijing to seek power, I am the only one who can clear my mother's name.

What's more, because his mother died in childbirth, Li Qingqian became the culprit who killed his biological mother. Such a disgusting matter must be investigated thoroughly.

No one is more eager to know the truth of that year than Li Qingqian.

She had fought with Emperor Hexi and the Empress in her previous life, and knew very well that the current emperor and empress were not ordinary people. As she had guessed before entering the palace, she was summoned into the palace this time not just because of Jiang Huairong's disappearance.

Even if a princess of the royal family is missing, the royal family will never summon the families of ministers into the palace to hold them accountable, as that would be embarrassing for them.

It was just because Emperor Hexi had intended to let Shen Changyun take him to Yunzhou before, and today's incident was just an excuse.

It can be said that Emperor Hexi really had Shen Changyun under control. Knowing that Shen Changyun was in Beijing, he could not focus all his attention on investigating the case.

But he also wanted to let this half-royal member go to Yunzhou in person. If he did a good job, he would have the reputation of being a royal member who cared about the world and sacrificed himself. If he died in Yunzhou, he would not be his own son, which would make him feel more at ease than letting Crown Prince Jiang Huaijing go.

Even if he were to be reborn, he would still be heartbroken by Emperor Hexi's indifference and ruthlessness.

Looking at Li Qingqian's dim eyes, Shen Changyun lowered his eyes guiltily.

He kept the fact that His Majesty's hidden purpose in asking her to go to Yunzhou was actually to find the real Seventh Prince a secret from her.

Even if Li Qingqian opened her heart to him, he didn't dare tell her the truth now.

She said that he was the benefactor who saved her from danger, but if she knew that it was she who concealed the whereabouts of the real Seventh Prince in her previous life, and that she was the unintentional accomplice who caused her relatives' misery, would Qianqian hate herself?
