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

"Among those taken to Jingying Residence was Miss Yuluo. It was said that she was sent there to serve the Fourth Miss after the Madam put her under house arrest. The Third Miss questioned her, but Miss Yuluo insisted that the Fourth Miss did this because she missed her mother."

Seeing that Yunchang had almost finished the preparations, Li Qingqian stepped forward and bowed to Li Zhengkang, "My daughter knows that mother is under house arrest now, and she didn't want to indulge fourth sister like this. But Miss Yuluo also said that mother and fourth sister love each other deeply, and my daughter lost her biological mother when she was young, so she couldn't bear to see fourth sister missing her mother so much, so I softened my heart."

After being slapped in the face, Yu Luo wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything, because these were indeed what she said this morning.

"I don't want my father to get angry when he finds out that my fourth sister disobeyed your orders, so I sent people to guard the Jinyu Courtyard. But it's been so long, why haven't mother and fourth sister finished their talk yet?"

Li Qingqian glanced lightly towards the Jinyu Courtyard.

Li Zhengkang followed her gaze, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he looked at Li Qingqian again, "Nonsense, you just started learning how to be a housekeeper, and you should also fulfill your duties as a sister. Your sister is so naughty, you should discipline her properly, why do you let her do whatever she wants?"

"But my fourth sister misses her mother..."

"Your father is not going to lock up your mother for life!" Li Zhengkang was a little angry. "If she wants Liu, can't she come to your father directly, or ask your grandmother? She is a good girl in the boudoir, but she has to learn such low-class manners. Now she is so unruly in the boudoir, what will happen when she gets married?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong," Li Qingqian looked at him with fear on her face, "As the eldest sister, I was wrong for not disciplining my younger sister. Father, please don't blame my fourth sister. She has been in there for several hours, why don't we let Yu Luo take my fourth sister back to Shuangyueju now?"

Li Zhengkang's face turned stern. He has been in there for so long? He really doesn't take his words seriously at all!

"Humph, I would like to ask the mother and daughter what they have been talking about for so long," Li Zhengkang waved his hand, "Girl, you can handle it yourself."

After saying this, he led his attendant towards the Jinyu Courtyard.

After he left, Li Qingqian took off her disguise, asked Yunshang to stop Yu Luo who wanted to sneak in, and followed him with Yunyi.

Yu Luo was a head taller than Yun Shang and a bit stronger than her. As soon as Li Qingqian left, Yu Luo glared at her and shook off her hand.

"Sister Yuluo," Yunchang took out a fine mutton-fat jade bracelet from her sleeve pocket and put it into Yuluo's hand, "This is a little gift from us, please accept it."

The quality of the mutton-fat jade was excellent. When Yu Luo took a look at it, her eyes lit up and her saliva almost flowed out.

But she held back and snorted, "What do you mean?"

Yun Shang smiled apologetically, "Miss knows that I have wronged Sister Yu Luo just now, and this is a gift to make amends for her. Sister also heard that the master said that he would not keep Madam locked up forever, and the housekeeper power will return to Madam sooner or later. When the time comes, please say a few good words for our young lady in front of Madam."

Yu Luo took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, looking at Yun Shang in front of her with disdain, "Humph, you are a loyal person, and you will also protect your daughter."

Yun Shang sighed, "I was sent by the young lady to serve the old lady three years ago, and I was doing well there, but the third young lady wanted me back as soon as she came back. It would have been fine if she wanted me to go back, but she even made things difficult for the lady time and time again. I... I was thinking about this for my own sake."

Yu Luo smiled and put the bracelet away. She looked Yun Shang up and down. "I heard that the Third Miss left you alone in the room yesterday. When you came out, your eyes were red. What happened? Did she scold you?"

Yun Shang showed a trace of annoyance on her face, "Who said it wasn't true? Yun Yi and I have been with her since we were young, but she has always been partial to Yun Yi. She kept me in the room yesterday just to tell me that she would marry Yun Yi and me off in the future. But even so, she gave Yun Yi an extra dowry."

Yu Luo curled her lips and said disdainfully: "She is a little girl who has been in the countryside for three years. How can she know the art of controlling others? Don't worry, now that you are sensible, I will speak up for you when Madam gets back on her feet."

Yunchang smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Sister Yuluo. But now I am still working under the Third Miss, so please understand me and wait for the Fourth Miss to come out before going back with her."

Yu Luo originally wanted to go in and speak for Li Shuyue, but then she thought that she wouldn't gain anything if she went in now, and Yun Shang's words sounded nice, so she would just consider it as a favor to her and stay outside the yard.

Thinking of this, she took out the bracelet again and admired it carefully.

From an angle that she couldn't see, a hint of coldness flashed across Yun Shang's eyes.

The girl was right in her guess. Liu had indeed arranged spies in Jingyingju. Yu Luo even found out so quickly that she was kept in the house for questioning. She was really scheming.

However, now is a good time. Once the young lady replaces a group of servants in the mansion, there will be peace and quiet.

In the main hall of Jinyuyuan, Liu was talking to Li Shuyue.

"Is this the dowry my uncle gave me?" Li Shuyue looked at the densely packed dowry list and was quite satisfied.

Liu smiled and looked at her, "I've said that your uncle loves you the most, so the dowry he gave you is naturally generous. Now we are just in a temporary difficulty, and your father is still counting on the Liu family's money. Do you dare to lock me up for life?"

"What did you say?" The door of the main hall was kicked open, and Li Zhengkang's angry face appeared in front of the mother and daughter.

"Father, father," Li Shuyue was slightly stunned, and then he saw Li Qingqian, who was calm and generous behind him. Anger instantly surged in his heart, "Li Qingqian! Did you bring father here?"

Liu's reaction was faster. She grabbed Li Shuyue and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is your sister. How can you call her by her name?"

Li Qingqian smiled, "I don't understand what you mean, Fourth Sister. You would come to see mother if you miss her. Father and mother are a loving couple, so if you miss her, you would naturally come to see her."

Li Shuyue's face turned red, but she had suffered several losses at the hands of Li Qingqian in a row, and she wanted to win the argument no matter what she said. "Who said I had to miss my mother to come to Jinyuyuan?"

There was a hint of pride in her words, because she had already received the dowry given by her uncle, and now she really only needed to wait to marry Jiang Lin, and then become the prince's consort after the palace examination next year.

Li Qingqian pretended to be surprised and half covered her mouth, "What did you say, sister? Aren't you here because you miss your mother?"

"This is my mother's yard. I can come whenever I want!"

Liu grabbed her in panic and winked at her frantically.

Didn’t she see that her father’s face looked bad?

Li Qingqian looked at Li Zhengkang beside her, "It seems that my daughter really misunderstood. I originally thought that Fourth Sister missed her mother and asked her to come to Jinyuyuan, but now it seems that is not the case. My daughter did not do well in this matter, and I hope father will punish her. It's just..."

She looked at Liu and Li Shuyue again, "My daughter has been away from the capital for three years. I didn't know that my father has lost his prestige now."
