Shen Changyun also felt a chill in his heart because of her words, "Qianqian, why do you think so?"

Li Qingqian got up from his arms and grabbed his arm eagerly, "But don't you find it strange? Why were we all fine before I left Beijing? But since I returned home three years after leaving Beijing, everything has gone the other way?"

It was a bit ridiculous, Shen Changyun lowered his eyes silently.

He believed that he was the person who understood him best in the world, but he could never understand why after Qianqian married Jiang Lin, he did not try every means to win her back as he did in the past, but just resigned himself to watching Qianqian being affectionate with someone else in front of others.

Maybe I didn’t feel it at the time, but now that I’ve been reborn... I can definitely sense that something is wrong.

Li Qingqian felt a chill in her heart. If the prophecy was true, then what did it mean?

She suddenly thought of a possibility, "Do you think it could be the Liu family?"

But as soon as she said this, she shook her head and denied it, "Maybe not. In the previous life, Li Shuyue always wanted to marry you, and the Liu family also wanted to move up, so they didn't want to involve you."

Suddenly, a person's face suddenly appeared in Li Qingqian's mind—Ling Ling.

Others may not know, but she noticed that Ling Ling was very different from her previous life.

What makes Li Qingqian certain is that the current Ling Ling is most likely like Song Ningyan, coming from another very far away place, but she also has the same malice towards herself as the Ling Ling in her previous life.

Could it be that the person behind the scenes is Ling Ling?

Thinking of this, Li Qingqian was filled with anger again. Wasn't it bad enough that she had hurt him in her previous life? Why did she have to add another hurdle and hurt him in this way?

But why?

I was just twelve years old when I was sent away from Beijing, and I was already over the age of 15 when I came back. Could it be that he resented me just because I saved Jiang Lin?

That shouldn't be the case. I saved Jiang Lin, so I should be their benefactor. Ling Ling shouldn't force me to marry Jiang Lin in this way.

Li Qingqian rolled her eyes. If she had known earlier, she should have let the guy named Jiang drown in the water.

But she really couldn't figure it out. If Ling Ling was behind all this, controlling her and Shen Changyun, how did she do it? Did she find a sorcerer like she did?

Something is wrong, something terribly wrong.

In her previous life, Ling Ling kept talking about how she and Jiang Lin were in love, and how she was the sinner who destroyed other people's feelings.

Then according to her statement, it is impossible for her to marry Jiang Lin. Unless from the beginning, her target was Shen Changyun.

The more Li Qingqian thought about it, the more her head hurt. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. However, if she didn't figure this matter out, she didn't know what kind of dangers she would face in the future.

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. Didn't she send Ling Ling back to Bailian Town before? It would be a good opportunity to talk to her some other day.

Shen Changyun hugged her back into his arms, rubbed her temples, and said softly: "Okay, don't worry about things that you can't figure out now. We still have a long time, so take it slow."

*

The incident involving Jiang Chan first occurred in Bailian Town, and Fu Bin, the governor of Yunzhou, also arrived here on the second day after the two men arrived in Bailian Town.

What surprised Li Qingqian was that this prefect was really different from other local officials. He was as gentle as a willow tree in the breeze. When he learned that he was going to investigate the case with Shen Changyun, he did not show any surprise or confusion.

Instead, he thanked them very respectfully: "Your Highness and Lady Li are so righteous. On behalf of the people of Yunzhou, I would like to thank you both in advance."

He did not call himself "The Crown Prince's Wife" like others did, but called her "Madam Li".

This directly shows that if she made any contribution in this case, it would only be counted on her, rather than being rewarded because she is Shen Changyun's wife.

Feeling respected, Li Qingqian also had a little more respect for Lord Fu.

"Yunzhou is located near the river, and we have never heard of such sneaky riots. But it is very strange that since a girl fell into the water and drowned six years ago, this rumor has spread."

Fu Bin said solemnly, "I came to Yunzhou to take up my post four years ago. At first I thought these were just rumors. Nothing happened at the time, so I ordered that such rumors be banned from spreading any more."

"It was fine in the past few years, but since the middle of last year, Jiang's killings have resulted in actual deaths. People who have lived in Yunzhou for a long time also said that this may be because the girl who died unjustly six years ago is still resentful and has come to take revenge on the people of Yunzhou."

Li Qingqian frowned slightly after hearing this. He fell into the water and died in vain six years ago?

If we calculate carefully, the one who meets the requirements is Aunt Jiang's daughter, Nannan, who died early.

But now, apart from Jiang Lin, Ling Ling and Aunt Jiang, only the traveling doctor and myself knew that Nannan did not die of drowning, but caught a cold and drank medicine mixed with osmanthus, which aggravated her cough and caused her to pass away.

But according to Aunt Jiang, it is impossible for the people in Bailian Town to point out that Ling Ling was the murderer.

Li Qingqian had thought before that maybe Aunt Jiang couldn't bear to see Ling Ling living a good life at the end of her life, so she wanted to take revenge on Ling Ling through her own hands.

But later she denied this idea, because Aunt Jiang knew that she hated Ling Ling and would avenge her even at the cost of her life. There was no need for her to lie to herself before she died - of course, it was not ruled out that she had gone mad and deceived herself into thinking that it was Ling Ling who killed Nannan.

But now, considering what Fu Bin said, Nannan might have really left like that.

That means that what Aunt Jiang said was not false. In this case, it would be even less likely for the people in Bailian Town to betray Ling Ling.

Did Jiang's murder really happen secretly?

In her previous life, Li Qingqian did not believe in such supernatural things. But since she could be reborn with the help of Shen Changyun and the Western Region wizard, what else is impossible?

Li Qingqian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling Bailian Town outside, sneering in his heart.

What I am afraid of is that someone is taking advantage of the Jiang Chen incident and doing it on purpose.

Fu Bin took them to the home of the person where the incident recently happened.

This was a relatively small courtyard. Shen Changyun pushed the door open and saw two pale bodies in the middle of the house. He subconsciously wanted to protect Li Qingqian behind him.

But Li Qingqian was not afraid. Instead, he took a few steps forward and examined the two bodies while holding the handkerchief.

"It looks like it's been gone for a long time?"

Fu Bin said with some embarrassment: "In fact, these two bodies were salvaged from the riverside half a month ago, and they were supposed to be buried a long time ago. Unfortunately, a girl in the town said that keeping these bodies in the house would deter the evil Jiang's henchmen, and the people in the town believed it. There are only two people in this family, this couple, and the people in the town supported the girl's words, so they have never been buried in peace."
