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

Li Qingqian stood up, threw away the used handkerchief, and asked, "Who is that girl? Why do the people in Bailian Town listen to her so much?"

It was obvious that it was Ling Ling, but Li Qingqian couldn't point it out right now - it would do no good except to bring trouble upon herself.

Fu Bin thought for a while and said to his attendant, "Go to the Ling family and find Miss Ling Ling."

Sure enough it was her.

Li Qingqian couldn't help but chuckle.

Shen Changyun gave her a look: What a familiar name.

Li Qingqian: He’s the one who caused such a commotion in Changming Tower before.

Fu Bin brought the two of them to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.

Not long after, a clear and loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "Master Fu, Master Fu! The couple was killed by Jiang Chen. They must not be buried here. You have to do as I said and put them in their main house to deter Jiang Chen!"

Li Qingqian slowly raised her head and gave the visitor a nice smile.

Ling Ling froze in place, "Why are you here?"

Then she saw Shen Changyun sitting next to her with a stern face, and she was even more puzzled: "Why are you here?"

According to the setting, shouldn't Shen Changyun be riding his horse through the streets on the eve of his wedding, and then be ordered by Emperor Hexi to become a monk?

She had received a letter from Jiang Lin in Beijing a few days ago, in which she learned that he had married Li Shuyue, and that Li Qingqian had married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She was waiting to see Li Qingqian make a fool of herself after returning to the capital, but she didn't expect that she would remain a widow as she expected, but followed her husband to Yunzhou.

But then again, what are they doing in Yunzhou?

Li Qingqian curled her lips slightly: "From Miss Ling Ling's tone, it seems like we shouldn't come here?"

Fu Bin was also a little embarrassed by her behavior, so he said to Ling Ling: "This is Master Shen and his wife who came from the capital. Why don't you come to greet them?"

Ling Ling was stunned when she heard this, then glanced at them with contempt and said, "I came from the capital, so do I have to greet them respectfully? All people are born equal, and I don't want to do such a lowly thing."

Fu Bin glared at her unhappily and said to Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun, "This girl has been behaving like this for a few years now. No one can stop her. Please forgive me and don't get angry with a country girl."

Fu Bin's words were originally meant to be a self-deprecating excuse for Ling Ling's impolite behavior, but they had another meaning when heard by Ling Ling.

She looked at Fu Bin with dissatisfaction, put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Master Fu, what do you mean by this? You are the governor of Yunzhou, and I am a citizen of Bailian Town in Yunzhou. Instead of speaking up for me, you help these people from the capital to humiliate me? Your behavior really chills the hearts of the people of Yunzhou, and makes us doubt whether the governor we have always loved is a good official!"

Ling Ling acted as if it was a matter of course, which made Li Qingqian unable to help but burst out laughing.

She frowned and looked at Li Qingqian, asking, "What are you laughing at?"

He looked Li Qingqian up and down with contempt, and muttered disdainfully: "As expected, the feudal ancients cannot understand the noble social atmosphere of equality for all...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, a hidden blade flew past her ear and cut off a strand of hair hanging by her ear.

After realizing what was happening, Ling Ling glared at the instigator in horror and anger—Li Qingqian, who was leisurely sipping tea. "What are you doing! Do you still want to kill someone?"

At the same time, she was also very confused. Wasn't Li Qingqian a dodder flower that could only recite poems but couldn't carry anything? When did she learn this trick?

Li Qingqian had a lightly mocking smile on his lips: "Do you know what kind of trouble those words you just said will bring to you?"

Ling Ling stared at her, as if to argue with her: "No matter what I said, it shouldn't be a reason for you to take action!"

"Really?" Shen Changyun took over the conversation and said in a cold voice, "Just now you said that all people are created equal? ​​If this statement reaches His Majesty's ears, you will have more than a hundred heads chopped off."

Fu Bin raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He believed that he usually worked wholeheartedly for the people of Yunzhou and had never treated them unfairly. But now, if Ling Ling, who was a citizen of Yunzhou, said such words, even he would be guilty.

Would she also say "all men are created equal" when she came before His Majesty? This is a rebellious statement, tantamount to treason!

It was said that Miss Ling had become so strange since a few years ago. He originally thought that she was just frightened by that incident and might get better after a few years. Unexpectedly, before she recovered, she had a seizure in front of the prince and his wife.

"Miss Ling Ling may not know yet, but the prince and I were personally assigned by the emperor to come to Yunzhou to investigate the matter of Jiang Chen," Li Qingqian looked at her with amusement, "but according to the Dawei law, if the imperial envoy finds someone suspected of treason while on duty, he must be executed on the spot. If it weren't for my poor skills just now, you would have died under that hidden blade."

Ling Ling trembled. When did Dawei have such a law? She remembered that there was no such law in the setting.

But this was not Li Qingqian lying to her. This was added by Emperor Hexi as soon as he ascended the throne. Even if Ling Ling did not grow up in the capital, she was two years older than her and it was impossible for her not to know this law.

From the other party's confused expression, Li Qingqian was more certain that she was not from Dawei.

She smiled again, sighed softly and said, "Just now Miss Ling said that it is humiliating to bow to people like us who came from the capital?"

After hearing what she said, Ling Ling, who was already unhappy, now looked even gloomier.

I can't say that, but can I not be polite? At best, people will say that I don't know etiquette. How dare Li Qingqian kill me for such a small matter?

Then she will also be guilty, and she won't be able to explain herself even if she opens her mouth!

As for whether or not my bad reputation will spread, that certainly won't happen. Not to mention that the people in Bailian Town have been tolerant of me in the past, they still love me very much now, and I believe it will be the same in the future.

Then there is no need to be afraid at all.

So Ling Ling looked at her with his neck stretched out, his eyes not timid.

However, Li Qingqian only snorted and laughed coldly, "Since paying respect to us is a sign of lowliness, then what about what Miss Ling did in the capital before?"

When Ling Ling heard this, her face instantly fell. She of course understood what Li Qingqian was talking about.

Fu Bin was also surprised: "Ling Ling has been to the capital before? That's impossible. After she fell seriously ill a few years ago, she was not allowed to pass through the city gate. How could she go to the capital?"
