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

The pine needles taken from Jiang Huairong's letter came from the Qinglan pine that is grown in abundance in An County.

Li Qingqian also found out that Nanny Chen, who remarried to Yunzhou, has been living in An County for many years.

There is no time to lose in setting off for An County.

On the boat, Li Qingqian looked at the sparkling river surface under the sunlight and felt a little regretful.

What she said to her mother that day was not her original intention. She was just emotional and said things without thinking.

In fact, what she meant was that she wanted her mother to be at ease and spend the rest of her life in Yunzhou as Madam Qingyu. But when the words came to her lips, she began to regret that her mother did not take her away.

Alas, I hope mother won’t be disappointed in her because of what she said.

According to common sense, land transportation is generally slower than water transportation, but due to Yunzhou's special geographical environment, water transportation is actually the fastest.

Shen Changyun used his elbow to poke Li Qingqian, who was staring at the river in a trance, and said, "Look who that is."

Li Qingqian came back to her senses and followed his gaze, just in time to see Ling Ling's face with the veil removed.

She seemed to be bumped by a man passing by, so she squatted down anxiously to pick up her veil.

She didn't even bother to apologize to the man and walked straight into the room with her bag on her back.

Li Qingqian noticed that Ling Ling's attire today did not seem to be like the attire of the women in Bailian Town, but rather like the attire popular in the capital.

In fact, if not for what Ling Ling did to her in her previous life, Li Qingqian thought she was very pretty, with a snake bun tied up high on one side, which was smart, playful, yet somewhat charming. On the bun was a gold and jade hairpin in the shape of a peach blossom, making her look like a fairy who had just descended to the earth.

However... Li Qingqian had a playful smile on her face, but it was still unknown whether Li Shuyue would think she was a little fairy.

"We have read the man's confession. If nothing unexpected happens, Ling Dazhi will be arrested today. How could she still have the leisure to do this?" Shen Changyun looked at the sign on the boat, which was bound for the capital. "She still dares to go to the capital now?"

Li Qingqian chuckled: "She was originally hanging out with Jiang Lin. Now if she heard that Jiang Lin not only married Li Shuyue as his principal wife, but also took in a concubine, and there are two young girls at home who could become his new concubines at any time, do you think she would be anxious?"

"Besides, Ling Dazhi was arrested today, and her parents love her so much, how could they bear to let their precious daughter suffer with them? Naturally, they will do everything they can to send her to a safe place."

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

In a short period of time, no one else would discover that she had secretly gone to the capital.

Shen Changyun was so angry that he laughed at Ling Ling's thoughtless behavior: "But now the Yunzhou government has not yet decided to implicate Ling Ling and her mother. Even if they are, they have not yet determined how to deal with them. She dared to flee Yunzhou privately at this time and even went to the capital. If this is discovered, she will be beheaded."

Li Qingqian took a sip of tea, holding the teacup leisurely and said, "Ignorance is bliss."

I just imitated Jiang Lin's handwriting to send a letter to Ling Ling, telling her about Jiang Lin's current situation in Beijing, and she was so bold.

What Li Qingqian didn't tell Shen Changyun was that she did it on purpose.

Didn't Ling Ling say that she always framed her? Then Li Qingqian chose to give her this result.

An County is neither close nor far from Bailian Town. After three days on the river, the ship docked at the shore.

The environment in An County is much better than that in Bailian Town. It is more lively and prosperous.

It was evening when they arrived. It was raining heavily in An County. This should be the first rain in early spring.

Amid the hazy mist and rain, the night market in An County is about to open and the bustle is as lively as ever.

The largest and best restaurant here is somewhat similar to the Changming Tower where she and Song Ningyan lived. It also stands on a small island in the center of the lake and is called "Hu Yue Tower".

Hu Yue Tower is not an isolated building. It consists of several pavilions connected to each other, with flying eaves and painted corners. It overlooks the misty Shuiyun Lake and has a great view. It has always been a place where people from An County go to climb up and drink.

Although it was raining, there was a lot of noise and bustle under the pavilion outside the restaurant.

The cries of hawkers from the street vendors on the other side of the lake could be heard one after another.

The musicians and dancers in the building have extraordinary memories, and the piano and dance music is very beautiful.

Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun shared an umbrella. She held Shen Changyun's arm and looked at the surrounding environment with great interest. "An County is really much more interesting."

When I was in Bailian Town, I hadn't accomplished anything yet, and I couldn't help feeling depressed.

Now that Jiang Chan's problem has been solved, he feels relieved. Coupled with the excellent and lively environment in An County, Li Qingqian is even happier.

Shen Changyun smiled without saying a word and took her on a boat to Hu Yue Tower.

When they first walked into the building, they found that it was the shopkeeper himself who came to greet them.

He said to Shen Changyun with a smile on his face: "The boss is here today. The private room on the third floor has been prepared for you. You can go up and rest now."

Li Qingqian was slightly surprised and thought to herself: Shen Changyun, is he the boss here?

After arriving at the room, Shen Changyun skillfully tidied her clothes.

Seeing her looking at him curiously, he chuckled and explained, "Are you wondering why I also have an estate in Yunzhou? Remember what I told you, that last year the prince and I not only explored Beiyuan, but also set up a trap for the Liu family? It was at that time that I casually bought a share in Yunzhou."

"Not only An County, except Bailian Town, I have businesses everywhere in Yunzhou," Shen Changyun looked at her with a smile, "How about it, do you think I'm awesome?"

Li Qingqian nodded helplessly.

After receiving the affirmation, Shen Changyun spoke more excitedly: "I have long felt that you would like the environment of Yunzhou, and I thought that after we get married, I would always bring you here to travel around, so..."

Having said this, Shen Changyun suddenly fell silent.

Li Qingqian raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you continue?"

Shen Changyun looked at her puzzled gaze and didn't know how to continue.

"Are you afraid that I will guess it? You have known for a long time that my mother is living well in Yunzhou?" Li Qingqian sighed.

Shen Changyun paused while combing her hair and replied calmly, "Yeah. At that time, I was watching the Liu family and saw them sending a group of people to Jingyang City stealthily, always following a lady selling flowers. But because Yun Gui, who was always by Madam Qingyu's side, was protecting her, they couldn't find the opportunity to strike."

"If you want to suppress the enemy, you must know what the enemy cares about. I took advantage of their unpreparedness and quietly checked. When I saw that Madam Qingyu looked exactly like the woman in the portrait in my mother's pavilion, I realized that she was Aunt Cheng San from that year."

Cheng Zhaoling was the third child in the family. Shen Changyun had a very good relationship with her when she was still a girl, so when Shen Changyun was growing up, he always called her "Auntie Cheng San".
