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

Jiang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been kneeling for so long that his body was still shaking when he stood up.

Originally he was still feeling puzzled today as to why he, who had passed the imperial examination and ranked third with his own ability, was treated so coldly and disliked by the prince after being paraded through the streets.

It was still a period of national mourning, but he summoned me to the palace and forced me to kneel for four hours.

Jiang Lin's heart fell silent until the prince told him the matter just now.

A few days ago, Li Shuyue said she was not feeling well, so she went to the clinic to take her pulse and found out that she was pregnant.

Jiang Lin was a little confused at the time, and then he recalled that half a month ago, he missed Lingling that night and drank a little too much.

Li Shuyue was thinking about the palace examination, so she came to bring him some hangover soup.

Through the curtain, Jiang Lin's consciousness was a little fuzzy, and he mistook Li Shuyue for Ling Ling. That's how this child came about.

The next morning, Li Shuyue's eyes were red, and she said in a tone that was half disappointed and half resentful: "Who did you take me for last night?"

Jiang Lin just glanced at her and stood up on his own.

"Isn't this what you've always been looking forward to? Now that I've done it, you're unwilling to do it?"

"If you were so virtuous and dignified on weekdays, how could I treat you as someone else?"

He knew that what he said that day was a bit harsh, so when he learned that the child was coming, even though he was a little worried that Ling Ling would be angry with him if she knew, he was still looking forward to the birth of the child.

Who would have thought that just when he was feeling a little guilty towards Li Shuyue, this woman would dare to bring such trouble upon himself!

The love he had for his wife disappeared in an instant.

However, in addition to being dissatisfied with Li Shuyue, he also had resentment towards Li Qingqian.

If it had been her who married me, would I have been struggling like I am now?

The top two candidates in the imperial examination of the same period as him had already been employed by the prince at an early stage. Only he, the seemingly glorious third place candidate, had not yet received a job or even any reward.

As a result, Li Qingqian was lucky enough to marry the Crown Prince, the prince's most trusted cousin, in great glory. She almost became the most noble lady in the capital, enjoying endless wealth and glory.

Doesn't she like herself?

Why didn't she remind herself at all when Li Shuyue did these things?

Oh, he knew. She must like seeing him in such a state of desolation, right? Wouldn't this prove that his original choice was wrong?

Li Qingqian was forcing herself to admit that it was a mistake not to choose her before.

On the carriage back to the city, Li Qingqian sneezed several times in a row.

Who is it? Scolding her again!

Shen Changyun pulled the brocade blanket closer to her. "It's still spring now, so it's bound to be a little chilly at night. How about I put some clothes on you to prevent you from catching a cold?"

Li Qingqian opened her beautiful, wet eyes and looked at him, as if she was acting coquettishly silently.

Shen Changyun couldn't help laughing at her deep affection: "How about another time?"

A cat-like humming sound came from Li Qingqian's nose.

This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous...

This whole ordeal didn't end even when they arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Shen Changyun refused to let her go, "Father and mother are asleep, no one will find out. Qianqian?"

Li Qingqian's face fell, and she quickly tidied herself up, "We haven't been back for nearly two months. Do you think Mother wouldn't want to see us the first time?"

However, she was soon slapped in the face. The lights in Wanxiang Courtyard were already turned off. Word came from the palace that the Duke was summoned by the Crown Prince tonight and would not be back.

No wonder...

Shen Changyun moved forward, put his hand around her neck and gently held it, put his face close to her and caressed her gently, his red lips occasionally touching her skin.

"That's what I said."

Li Qingqian was still trying to struggle, but before she could accomplish her goal, she was firmly grasped by Shen Changyun and was defeated.

Jiang Lin went back with a lot of anger.

At that time, Li Shuyue was still in the courtyard and said proudly to her current confidant Zhao Yu: "I told you long ago that letting my husband recognize his ancestors as soon as possible is our last trump card. Seeing that the late emperor had just passed away, the prince summoned my husband to the palace. I think it won't be long before we can turn things around."

Especially since I was the one who turned the tables. I had endured Li Qingqian for more than half a year, and finally it was over.

No one knew where Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun had gone recently. Even when she sent Zhao Yu to inquire, she couldn't find out.

Could it be that he had offended the Crown Prince and his wife in the past and is now being punished?

Jiang Lin stood outside the door, listening to her words, and became even angrier.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he said, "Turn over? Don't tell me you did all these things just to make me turn over?"

Seeing him come back, Li Shuyue thought that the matter was settled.

She hurried forward and prepared to help him sit down, "My husband is back? How is it? Did the prince tell you something secret today?"

Jiang Lin waved his sleeves, and Li Shuyue was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Yu quickly supported her, checked her carefully, and was relieved to find that there was nothing serious.

"Sir, the lady is pregnant now, so please be careful."

Jiang Lin glared at her fiercely, then turned his gaze back to Li Shuyue, pointed at her and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you're pregnant, I would definitely divorce you!"

Li Shuyue was somewhat confused by his words. "What do you mean by that, my husband? Now that you are so successful, do you despise me, your wife who has lived with you through thick and thin? Ha, I understand. You have always been thinking about the one from Bailian Town, right?"

Hearing her mention Ling Ling, Jiang Lin's face became even uglier.

Li Shuyue was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She took a few steps forward and came to him and said, "So you arranged for her to come to our house today? Jiang Lin, ask yourself, how have I treated you since we got engaged?"

"My mother didn't like you when she was alive, but I loved you and married you, a poor scholar, with my rich family property. It was also me who worked hard for you and gave you a home when you were wandering and helpless."

"But how have you repaid me now? It's not like I didn't allow you to take a concubine, but now I'm pregnant, and you let a woman from outside come to your house to humiliate me. And you're so angry with me because of her, right?"

Jiang Lin was stunned. "What did you say? Lingling is here today?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu was also very angry. "Mr. How dare you ask? This house belongs to my wife, but you let that woman come to our house in broad daylight and humiliated Awan. Not only that, she also spoke insolently, saying that she is the third place winner in this house, and she bossed us around. God knows, the third place winner is now at home to take care of her baby. Her behavior is really disgusting!"

Jiang Lin never allowed anyone to say anything bad about Ling Ling, and he subconsciously wanted to refute her.

But Zhao Yu's words left him confused. In his mind, Ling Ling was an elegant orchid and would never say such words.
