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

Yun Shuang's body swayed in fear, and then as if she had thought of something, she sneered, "If you do this, wouldn't it just prove that you are indeed a person of bad character?"

"It's a malicious statement," Li Qingqian said calmly, "Then I'll tell you, even if I did it, it was entirely because of your outrageous words. If there is a wicked servant in the house, can't the person who holds the power of the housekeeper punish him?"

"Don't take chicken feathers as an excuse. You are only in charge temporarily. With your behavior, how can you convince others...ah!"

Yun Yi swung his arm and slapped Yun Shuang again, knocking her to the ground again.

Before she could sit up straight, Li Qingqian asked again: "Yun Shuang, since when did you follow my grandmother?"

There was a trace of confusion in Yunshuang's eyes. She couldn't answer this question.

Li Qingqian frowned slightly at her reaction and asked, "Who sent you to the grandmother's house? Was it the current lady in the mansion?"

Yunshuang's eyes were almost empty, as if she was unfamiliar with the name of Liu family.

Not right.

Li Qingqian winked at Yunyi, and Yunyi straightened Yunshuang's body, forcing her to look at Li Qingqian.

"Since you don't want to talk, then you will have to accept all the punishments for your disrespectful behavior towards me just now. Come here!"

After the order was given, several burly maids appeared in the yard outside the main hall.

"Drag him out and give him twenty strokes of the cane!"

Yun Yi responded and dragged the person out, but Yun Shuang fainted before she was hit with ten strokes of the board.

Li Qingqian waved her hand and asked the maids to lock her in the woodshed and keep an eye on her.

Yun Yi sighed and massaged Li Qingqian's shoulders, "I don't know what this lady gave to Yun Shuang, why she hates you so much."

Li Qingqian gently rubbed her swollen temples and shook her head. "When I asked her just now, her first reaction didn't seem like it came from Liu's hands."

"Then... is it the fourth girl?"

It is possible that Li Shuyue was also reborn, but she didn't know that she had also been reborn. In her eyes, she was the culprit who had robbed her of her life's glory in her previous life.

But she changed her mind and rejected the idea.

She and Li Shuyue just happened to be reborn on the boat in Chengning River. It was impossible for her to teach Yunshuang to resent her so much in such a short time.

Besides, Yunshuang suddenly appeared in the Li Mansion like a ghost, and even she herself couldn't tell when she came to the Li Mansion. If she was Li Shuyue's man, how could she be unfamiliar with the name of Liu?

Seeing that she was absorbed in her thoughts, Yun Yi could not help but squat in front of her and said, "No matter who sent her here, the most urgent task is to deal with the person who wants to harm the old lady in this mansion. Yun Yi knows that the young lady has always been a scheming person. What are you going to do next?"

Li Qingqian looked at the picture of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall in her room and said, "Of course, I will take revenge if I have a grudge, and I will take grudges if I have a grudge."

The next day, at dawn, an angry roar was heard from Li Shuyue's yard: "You said Li Qingqian wanted to interrogate the servants? Then why didn't he interrogate the people in her yard? Why did he come to my yard and act crazy?"

Yun Yi smiled faintly, "Fourth Miss, my lady means to interrogate the servants of the entire Li Mansion. Not to mention the people in the Fourth Miss's courtyard, even the people around the old lady were invited over yesterday."

Li Shuyue slammed the table heavily. "Does she really think that she can call the shots in the Li Mansion just because she has the power of housekeeper? My father just went to court, and she started to show off her power right after. What? Does she think my mother is dead?"

"Fourth Miss, be careful with your words!" Yun Yi's smile disappeared. "You cursed your own mother so early in the morning. If your words were to get out, I'm afraid you would be charged with the crime of being unfilial, which is punishable by death."

Li Shuyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and was about to hit Yunyi, but Yunyi was prepared and dodged it easily.

Li Shuyue's attack was in vain, and when she was about to attack again, Yunyi had already asked the maids in her house to lead several servants out of the courtyard.

Before leaving, Mian Zuo bowed to her respectfully, "Don't be angry, Fourth Miss. I'm not going to do anything to them. It's just that since our young lady has taken over the housekeeping power, she has to be responsible for all matters in this mansion. I am following the Third Miss's order to remind you, Fourth Miss, please don't speak nonsense again. Haven't you learned enough from the lesson of the past two days?"

Li Shuyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. How dare this bastard use what she said two days ago to ridicule her? Her mother was grounded because of this, and her housekeeper rights were taken away!

Isn't it because Yun Yi, this lowly slave, is so presumptuous because she relies on Li Qingqian? But if I want to punish her with a stick and send her away, I have to go through Li Qingqian.

It’s all my mother’s fault. What a bad idea she came up with.

If the housekeeper power was still in my mother's hands, I wouldn't have to feel so aggrieved.

No, after calming down, Li Shuyue remembered an important thing - among the maids that Li Qingqian took away just now, there was Yu Luo, the one her mother had given her yesterday!

Yu Luo knew almost everything her mother did.

Could it be that Li Qingqian knew about her biological mother?

No, in her previous life, Li Qingqian didn’t know the truth until her death. Even she only heard it from her mother when she returned home three days after her marriage. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to use this incident to trick Li Qingqian to the cliff in the back mountain.

Li Shuyue was shocked and subconsciously wanted to rush out to bring Yu Luo back.

But then she thought of the two previous head-on conflicts with Li Qingqian, in which both she and her mother suffered. This matter concerned her future and was directly related to whether she could become queen in the future, so she must not act rashly.

After thinking about it, he decided to secretly go to Jinyuyuan as before to discuss countermeasures with his mother.

*

Yun Yi led a group of people back to Jingying Residence. The first thing she did was to whisper in Li Qingqian's ear: "Miss, the fourth lady really ran away to Jinyu Courtyard secretly."

Li Qingqian's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and she said loudly, "Now that mother is still under house arrest, Fourth Sister went to Jinyuyuan like a thief. First she ignored grandmother's serious illness, and then she ignored father's orders."

Yu Luo, who was standing outside the main hall with a look of disdain towards Li Qingqian, showed a trace of obvious panic on her face when she heard this.

Before Li Qingqian asked, she spoke first: "Don't blame the Third Miss. Our Fourth Miss is thinking about her mother and she is so concerned that she did this. I know that the young lady has the power of housekeeper now, and she is a new official with three fires to start with, but please understand our Fourth Miss, after all..."

When she said this, she raised her head deliberately and smiled at Li Qingqian with sarcasm in her eyes, "A mother loves her child deeply. The third girl lost her mother at a young age, so you must have never experienced this."

Li Qingqian curled the corners of his mouth, "Yuluo, what you said is quite right."

Yu Luo lowered her head and frowned in confusion. This was not what she thought.

It stands to reason that the third young lady has been humble and submissive in this mansion for so many years, and once she gains power, she will definitely not tolerate any sand in her eyes.

For making such sarcastic remarks, she shouldn't punish herself severely, which would expose her true colors and give the lady a reason to take back the power of housekeeper.

But Li Qingqian didn't take it seriously. When she was the queen in her previous life, she was criticized for many years by civil and military officials. There were so many explicit and implicit curses in the memorials she presented to Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin even said "My dear, what you said is absolutely right" after reading them.

In today's world, having endured so many sad days, how could Li Qingqian take these people's verbal attacks on her to heart?

"My fourth sister has a deep relationship with mother, which I cannot envy. Mother has been confined for the past two days, and my fourth sister must have missed her very much. Yunshang, my grandmother just assigned two capable maids to me yesterday. You go with them and take a few servants to guard outside the Jinyu Courtyard. Don't let anyone disturb them and their reunion."

Yun Shang responded and took the people the old lady had given her yesterday to do the work.

Yu Luo panicked, "This won't work!"

The master has issued an order to confine the lady to her quarters and not allow the fourth young lady to visit. If the master returns from court and finds out that the fourth young lady has gone to the Jinyu Courtyard, won't he take his anger out on her?
