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

Liu panicked and hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "You want to frame me, what can't you do? The servants in this mansion may have been bribed by you a long time ago, how can you trust their words?"

Li Qingqian curled her lips, "I have been back to Beijing for less than two months, and the housekeeper power has only fallen into my hands in the past two days. Mother, how do you think I can win over so many people in such a short time?"

Li Zhengkang waved to his long-time attendant and said, "Go and get the old woman who was outside the courtyard just now."

Liu didn't know what was going on yet, and she was relieved when the attendant brought the nanny over.

This person often does things for me, and his hands are not clean. It will not do her any good if I expose her.

Li Qingqian watched Liu's actions, but she was not at all confused, because even if the nanny in front of her was unwilling to betray Liu, she still had ways to continue making trouble.

I think Yunchang outside has also taken care of the matter. Now that she has caught Liu's mistake today, she will never let it go no matter what!

But who would resist money, especially when the moon offered by Li Qingqian is so tempting.

The nanny lowered her head and said, "Master, please forgive me. Madam did ask me to do something, but I dare not kill anyone. It's just that the damage to Madam Lin's appearance a few years ago and the discovery of the witch doll from Madam Fu's room last year were all done by Madam in exchange for money."

Liu's eyes widened, unable to believe that she actually dared to betray her.

Li Qingqian didn't give her a chance to breathe and asked the nanny, "Mother dared to let you do such a thing, so I guess mother must trust you very much?"

Mammy knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "I am indeed guilty. I have been ordered by Madam to do many harmful things over the years, but I was also coerced by Madam. Otherwise, I would have ended up with a more miserable fate than Madam Zhao now!"

Li Qingqian added: "If you do something like this, the Li government can definitely send you to the government."

The nanny looked at her with some fear, but Li Qingqian changed the subject: "But if you can tell us in detail who in this mansion has been bribed by mother and what evil things they have done, you can make amends."

Seeing a chance, Mammy quickly replied, "Speak, I will tell you everything I know."

Li Qingqian then looked at Li Zhengkang, "What do you think, father?"

Li Zhengkang was impressed by her actions, and thought that such swift and decisive actions were the behavior of a noble lady. He nodded and said, "You are now the housekeeper, and you have your own ideas. Your father is very pleased. You can take the person away and make sure to find out the truth behind this."

Li Qingqian turned to Yun Yi and said, "Take this nanny out. Yun Shang has good handwriting. Ask her to take the person back to Jingyingju and ask her about it clearly, and record everything."

Yunyi led people out and took Madam Zhao out with her.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Yunyi said to her, "Madam Zhao has been wronged, and our young lady knows it. Don't worry, the Third Young Lady will get back for you whatever you and Sister Ying'er have been wronged in, whether it's money or justice."

Madam Zhao wiped her tears and said, "The Third Miss is kind-hearted. I know that in my heart. Miss Yunyi, I still have work to do. Should I go first?"

"Hey, Ma'am, you're busy."

After Nanny Zhao left, Yunyi brought people to Yunshang and said, "Take this Nanny back to Jingyingju and write down her words clearly."

Yu Luo, who was standing by, felt uneasy after hearing this, but then she thought that Yun Shang was also dissatisfied with the third young lady, so she probably wouldn't be too harsh on her.

So he winked at her, but she just smiled, and the smile didn't even reach her eyes, which made Yu Luo feel flustered again.

Yun Shang led the group away. She looked at Yun Yi and asked, "Why hasn't my fourth daughter come out yet?"

Yun Yi answered irrelevantly: "I will wait here with Sister Yu Luo."

Yu Luo was completely panicked. Was he spying on her?

On the other side of the main hall, Li Zhengkang was already very angry.

He slowly walked up to Liu, closed his eyes, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Liu couldn't answer, she just looked at him with resentment and said nothing.

Li Shuyue was still a little unconvinced, "Father has wronged mother so much, what else do you want mother to say?"

"Snapped!"

Li Shuyue's right cheek also immediately became red and swollen.

Li Zhengkang was a man, and much older than Li Qingqian. He delivered the slap effortlessly, but it left a deep red mark on Li Shuyue's face.

He spoke again indifferently: "It seems that house arrest has no effect on you. Since there is nothing to say, then you should stay in Guqing Temple in the suburbs of Beijing and reflect on yourself."

Then he turned to Li Shuyue and said, "Since you said that your father is thinking about the Liu family's money, then I will give half of your dowry to your sister. If she makes trouble again, I will give her all of it."

Li Shuyue was unwilling to accept this decision, but she dared not say anything.

Liu said aggrievedly: "That was something the Liu family gave to my daughter! How could you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Li Shuyue.

Li Zhengkang was about to leave the courtyard when he heard this and slowly turned back: "You killed my offspring and harmed my concubines. I am already showing some mercy by not divorcing you or sending you to the government."

After saying that, he walked out of the yard without looking back.

Li Qingqian followed him with a heavy heart. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "Father, I dare not embezzle this money. I will give 60% to the public account, and the other 40% will be used to make up for the servants who have been deducted money over the years."

After hearing this, Li Zhengkang turned to look at her and smiled faintly, "Humph, you are quite scheming now. How long have you been planning for today's scene?"

The older you are, the wiser you are. Having served in the court for many years, it is impossible for him not to see Li Qingqian's plan.

Now that she was exposed, there was no need for her to pretend anymore. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Like father, like daughter. Father, I am grateful for your past actions, which gave me the courage I have today."

She expressed her gratitude, but there was no trace of respect on her face.

Li Zhengkang sneered: "But your father still wants to praise you today. Your calculation is much smarter than Shu Yue's."

Li Qingqian was going to marry into a wealthy family, a royal family, and if she didn't think about it, how could she survive? He was not angry at her calculations.

"What your biological mother didn't teach you, your father will teach you personally," Li Zhengkang said to her in a low voice, then walked out of the courtyard and said loudly, "Since you have a plan in mind, I will do as you say."

Looking at his father's departing back, Li Qingqian's eyes gradually turned cold.

He was a smooth-talker in his previous life and never made any mistakes as an official in the court, so when Li Shuyue got into trouble, he ruthlessly abandoned his daughter.

Li Qingqian knew that although she was loved by him now, it was only because she was smart and useful in Li Zhengkang's eyes. But what if she lost her power one day?

Her eyes dimmed a little. At least before she got married, both parties should maintain this situation where they could benefit from each other.
