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

Ling Ling heard about the changing situation in the capital on her way back to the capital.

At that time, she had just planned to use the jade token she received in the letter to pass through the capital city gate. The soldiers took a look at her jade token and looked at her suspiciously.

Just when Ling Ling thought that the jade token was fake, she was told that it could be released.

Ling Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect that the jade token would actually pass.

They arrived at a restaurant and planned to stay there temporarily and go look for Jiang Lin tomorrow. But after paying the bill, they heard a man and a woman talking about something in the lobby.

"What do you think of this? His Majesty passed away just two days ago, and his body is still warm. The Crown Prince actually disregarded the brotherly love and sent the Fifth Princess to Beiyuan to marry. It really makes people feel cold."

His wife gestured to him to keep quiet, "Please keep your voice down. How can we discuss the affairs of the royal family casually?"

"Humph, if the prince can do such a thing, is he afraid of us ordinary people talking about it?"

That being said, the volume was lowered a lot.

Ling Ling was startled, and stepped forward and asked shyly, "Excuse me, I'm going to Beijing to look for my relatives. May I ask if what you just talked about is true?"

The woman looked at her for a while, then asked with a smile on her face: "Miss, I see that you are dressed like this, it doesn't look like your first day in the capital."

Both her dress and facial make-up looked like those of noble ladies in the capital. People who didn't know her would inevitably suspect that she was not the daughter of an ordinary family.

Ling Ling laughed dryly: "I'll tell you the truth. I was originally a girl from Beijing. A few years ago, I was sent to a farm in the countryside by my family because of illness. Now I came home to look for my relatives, but I didn't wait for my family to come and pick me up."

The man who was talking to the woman glanced at the jade pendant on her waist and said, "The appearance of this jade pendant... Could it be that you are the daughter that Li Xiang's family gave away a few years ago?"

Ling Ling recalled something in her mind. Well, she remembered that after Li Qingqian returned to Beijing, she had been locked up in the Li family and was not allowed to go out. It seemed that as long as Liu was there, she would not be able to make a name for herself in Beijing.

Anyway, it was an unequal information, so she simply admitted it: "I am the third daughter of the Li family, and Lord Li Xiang is my father."

"Oh, you came back at a very bad time," the woman said with regret, "You just heard from my husband that things have changed in the capital. His Majesty died of a sudden heart attack, and the Crown Prince is in charge of government affairs."

"This prince is not as kind as your majesty. He even sent his own sister, the Fifth Princess, to Beiyuan to marry, just to please the people of Beiyuan!"

As she spoke, the woman seemed to have thought of something else, and she pulled Ling Ling over and whispered, "Third Miss, back then, the Queen personally arranged a marriage between you and Master Shen, and even people like us in the market knew about it. But judging by the current situation, this marriage is also in jeopardy."

Ling Ling frowned in confusion: "What does this mean?"

It seemed that Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun had been married before they went to Yunzhou. Since they were relatives of the royal family and noble ladies, why didn't people in the capital know about it?

Could it be that Shen Changyun doesn't love Li Qingqian as much as he appears to?

Ling Ling was ecstatic, she knew that the plot still favored her.

What does it matter how good Li Qingqian's skills are on the surface? Once I show up, Shen Changyun will turn his attention to me, and the false love for Li Qingqian will be shattered.

"Alas, Prince Shen is the nephew of His Majesty. If it were in the past, it would have been a perfect match. But now that the Crown Prince is about to succeed to the throne, he must win over his own forces in the court. Prime Minister Li has a deep foundation in the court. If she welcomes her daughter into the East Palace, she will have the support of Prime Minister Li."

The man said with regret, "It's a pity that the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion also wants to send the eldest daughter to the Eastern Palace. If you, the third daughter, want to enter the Eastern Palace now, you will have to queue behind the Crown Princess and Miss Song who will become a concubine, and you will be forced to be a concubine."

Ling Ling felt ecstatic again. In her eyes, a concubine would always be inferior to the wife.

Although Liang Yuan would become a concubine or something like that when the prince ascended the throne, a concubine was still a concubine after all, and the emperor's concubine was still a concubine.

Although Shen Changyun was just a minister, being his wife was much more respectable than being a concubine.

Demoted from a wife to a concubine, it turns out that in the eyes of people in the capital, Li Qingqian is not that precious.

First, the fact of her wedding was kept secret, and then she was humiliated as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister by being treated as a concubine.

Ling Ling stood up with satisfaction and went to the shopkeeper to take back the silver - she couldn't stay there anymore, she couldn't wait to find Jiang Lin.

The shopkeeper was very dissatisfied when he saw the money he had earned flying away again.

But no matter how unhappy they were, they were too embarrassed to turn their faces away, because as soon as Ling Ling left, two soldiers came into the store and stood up to the couple.

Looking at Ling Ling's receding back, the officer asked expressionlessly, "Have you explained everything?"

The woman nodded hurriedly, "We are following His Royal Highness's instructions and doing everything as ordered."

The soldier nodded, took out two silver bills from his pocket and handed them over, "You are helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince and his wife, so naturally you will get some benefits."

The woman happily took the banknote and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, what kind of polite words are you talking about? Working for His Highness and the Crown Prince and his wife is a blessing for people like us!"

The officer glanced at the direction Ling Ling left, with a look of disdain on his face.

Now that His Majesty has indeed passed away, not only the big and small matters in the capital, but even the entire Dawei now listens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

How could such remarks that gossip about the royal family appear in the market? Does the Jiang family still want to maintain its position as a powerful dynasty?

Anyone with a little bit of common sense should know that whether it was the jade token that deliberately appeared in the woman's hand, or the person who let them go even though he found something wrong, or the couple in front of them who could easily tell so many secrets, it all looked like a series of connected traps.

It’s a pity that there really are people with such a bad brain.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this person had forged documents when he came to the capital. Not only that, he also had an affair with Jiang Shusheng, who had recently become famous, in the capital.

It's true that two people can't sleep in one bed. They are both so stupid.

Ling Ling was in a very good mood. She almost skipped to the house in the alley in the western suburbs. She was planning to push open the door skillfully, but unexpectedly she couldn't push it at all.

what happened?

Didn't Jiang Lin write to her and ask her to come to Beijing to find him? Why didn't he leave the door open for her?

Ling Ling took a few steps back, feeling dissatisfied.

But after a while, the door opened a crack.

Ling Ling was about to greet Jiang Lin happily, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was choked by the water splashing in her face.

"Jiang...ah—what is this?"
