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

*

Inside the Jinyuyuan courtyard.

Yu Luo stamped her feet anxiously, "I was assigned by the Madam to serve the Fourth Young Lady. Please let me in to pick up my young lady!"

The maid guarding the courtyard glanced at her coldly and said, "Miss Yuluo, is it possible that she is confused in her sleep? This morning, it was the Third Miss who ordered us to guard the Jinyu Courtyard, and I, an old woman, didn't even see the Fourth Miss."

A maid next to her also agreed: "That's right. Now that the two young ladies in the mansion have already been engaged, the fourth young lady must be very tired because of the marriage. Why doesn't she rest in her own room? If Miss Yuluo wants to see the lady, she shouldn't use the name of the fourth young lady, right?"

Yu Luo's eyes wandered between the two of them, but she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

There was no solution for a long time and I could only force my way in.

But how could a frail girl like her squeeze past the old maid in this mansion who was used to doing the housework?

The two maids didn't use much force to push her away and ordered her to leave without any hesitation: "Miss Yuluo, you'd better leave quickly. If the fourth lady gets up in a few hours and doesn't see you, she will probably punish you again."

These old women who change their minds according to the wind!

Yu Luo thought angrily, when the Madam was in charge, these people were all respectful to her. Now the Third Miss has only been in charge for a few days, and they are already showing her courtesy?

It was obvious that the Third Miss asked these people to guard here after she learned that the Fourth Miss had come to Jinyuyuan. Isn't it obvious that she wanted to let the master who was about to leave the court know?

The Third Young Lady's position as housekeeper is only temporary, and the housekeeper power will return to the Madam sooner or later. I don't know what good it will do them to offend the Madam and the Fourth Young Lady.

Yu Luo was at a loss as to what to do. She could only glare at them angrily and wait anxiously by the side.

I hope the Third Miss will have some conscience, take into account the sisterhood, and release the Fourth Miss before the master returns from court.

Two hours later, Li Zhengkang returned home from court. Not knowing from whom he got the news, he hurried to Jinyuyuan.

Yu Luo seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She rushed ahead of the two maids and knelt down in front of Li Zhengkang.

"Master, help me! I don't know what has happened to the Third Miss. She has just brought the Fourth Miss to Jinyuyuan as soon as you left for court. You have already ordered the Madam to be restrained. The Third Miss is simply ignoring your words by doing this!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Li Zhengkang kicked her on the shoulder, "How dare you! Who did you just say was crazy?"

Yu Luo was about to get up and explain, but she saw Li Qingqian hurrying up behind Li Zhengkang.

Li Qingqian hurried over and took Li Zhengkang's arm to help him calm down. "Father, don't be anxious. Father, don't be angry. What if you get sick from anger?"

Although she said this to Li Zhengkang, her eyes were looking at Yu Luo who was lying on the ground, and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

Yu Luo's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that something bad was about to happen.

Li Zhengkang looked at her with eyes wide open and said, "Let me ask you, is the fourth young lady really in the Jinyu Courtyard now?"

Seeing Li Qingqian's malicious expression, Yu Luo almost subconsciously answered: "No, no."

The smile on Li Qingqian's face became even brighter, but it only flashed for a moment, and then she changed into a pitiful look, "Miss Yuluo, didn't you just tell father that I was the one who captured your fourth sister and brought her to Jinyuyuan? Could it be that you wanted to trick father into coming to Jinyuyuan to see mother, and you also wanted to use my name..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and there was a thin layer of mist in her eyes.

The title of "one of the two beauties in the capital" is not just a joke, otherwise Liu and Li Shuyue would not have been so afraid of this face and sent her thousands of miles away to a farm in the countryside three years ago.

Her tearful look suddenly reminded Li Zhengkang of his first wife's appearance before she died, and he became even more furious. "Tell me! Is Shu Yue in the Jinyu Courtyard?"

Yu Luo was really out of ideas, so she nodded and said, "Yes, the Fourth Miss is indeed in the Jinyu Courtyard... But she was indeed captured by the Third Miss early in the morning. Many people saw it. The Third Miss had the servants of the Jinyu Courtyard taken to Jingying Residence early in the morning. She must have captured the Fourth Miss and brought her here at that time!"

Li Qingqian's body swayed, and it was Yun Yi who supported her so that she did not fall. "Since you said that I arrested someone, do you have any witnesses?"

"Anyone of those guarding the yard can testify against us!" Yu Luo said confidently.

Anyway, among the people that the Third Miss brought to Jingying Residence early in the morning, most of them were used to doing things for the Madam, so how could they not speak up for the Fourth Miss? The Third Miss had a good plan, but it was a pity that it would fail!

Li Zhengkang winked at his attendant, who walked into the Jinyu Courtyard and brought out a maid.

Li Zhengkang asked sternly, "Did the Third Miss ask you to bring the Fourth Miss to Jinyuyuan?"

Yu Luo glanced at the nanny beside her and felt relieved. This was the nanny that the Madam often ordered around, and she was trustworthy.

But the next moment, the nanny shook her head and said, "No, it was the fourth young lady who secretly came to the Jinyu Courtyard this morning."

Yu Luo was so frightened that her eyes widened and she collapsed to the ground.

Li Qingqian, who was standing behind Li Zhengkang, raised the corners of her mouth slightly without leaving any trace.

Not to mention that this was the fact that these people saw and heard this morning, the fact that she gave them an extra monthly salary was enough for these people to speak for her.

The Li Mansion has always prided itself on being "noble and elegant". Most of the servants in the mansion have only sold themselves to the Li Mansion, rather than signing a life contract. As long as the money is in place, these people don't care whether your master is good or bad.

In the past, Liu allocated more monthly allowances to her confidants. Although there were rewards for those who occasionally did things, they were not fixed.

But once the desire is ignited, it requires long-term money to fill it, otherwise, after a long time, they will inevitably feel aggrieved.

It happened that Li Qingqian's behavior this morning made them feel that instead of following the Madam, it would be better to turn to the Third Miss so that they could get more monthly allowances in the future.

Seeing that the nanny was unsuccessful, Yu Luo came up with another idea, "Master, I have evidence. Yun Shang! Yun Shang, who was beside the Third Miss, came along. She must have been instructed by the Third Miss to capture the Fourth Miss!"

Li Zhengkang turned to look at Li Qingqian and couldn't help but frowned, "Qian, is this true?"

Li Qingqian did not give a direct answer, but said to Yunyi beside her: "Yunyi, go and bring Yunshang here."

Seeing that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, Yu Luo felt proud again.

Humph, the third girl is younger after all, and she can’t hold on for such a short time.

Just wait and see, when the lady gets back on her feet, see how they deal with her!

After a while, Yunyi came back with Yunshang.

Yun Chang knelt down in front of Li Zhengkang and said, "I greet you, Master."

Li Zhengkang looked at Li Qingqian who was trying hard to hold back her tears, then looked at Yun Shang who was kneeling in front of him, and his voice was a little softer than before, "You were instructed by your daughter to bring the fourth daughter to Jinyuyuan?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "No."

Yu Luo sneered and retorted: "You are the Third Lady's person, so you will naturally defend her. But since you didn't bring her to Jinyuyuan, how come you are here?"

Li Qingqian put away his pitiful look and suddenly became more aggressive, "How dare you! Father is still asking questions and you are so disrespectful. Are you really a good servant of my Li Mansion?"

She protects her own people and hates to see anyone bullying her, especially someone bullying her in front of her.

Li Zhengkang was listening at the side and thought his daughter was defending him.

It was he who decided to send her to the countryside three years ago, and she had already been wronged. Now she was still able to protect him regardless of the past. It would be a lie for Li Zhengkang to say that he was not touched.

"Come here, Yuluo is disrespectful to the master, slap her in the face twenty times," he said, then looked at Yunshang, "Go on, tell me everything you know."

Yun Chang then spoke again, "In fact, since yesterday, the Third Miss has already started to control the servants. The first thing she did was to go to the old lady's courtyard to find someone to question. Even if the master went to ask the old lady, it would be the same. This morning, thinking that the Jinyu Courtyard is now under house arrest, she started to ask the Fourth Miss at Shuangyue Residence. Who knew that Yun Yi, who had gone to find someone, had just led the person out when she saw the Fourth Miss anxiously coming to the Jinyu Courtyard."
