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

*

Outside the Jinyu Courtyard, Yu Luo had been kneeling from noon until now at nightfall.

Many people were passing by, most of whom were people I had bossed around before. Now they dared to hang out in groups of two or three, and I laughed at them in my whispers.

She had not had a drop of water the entire day and had been kneeling in the cold winter wind for most of the day. Now her eyes were glowing green and her frail body was trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a piece of crispy cake appeared in front of her. Yu Luo grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth without thinking.

He mumbled, "Thank you, ma'am, and thank you, Fourth Miss."

Unexpectedly, a chuckle came from above, "Miss Yuluo, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Yu Luo wolfed down the shortbread, looked up, and found that it was not the Madam and the Fourth Miss she had been thinking about, but...

"This servant wishes Aunt An good health."

Although she said this, her face did not show a trace of obedience to the concubine of the mansion as a servant, and she did not even show gratitude for the cake.

After all, this was the concubine who had a personal grudge against the Madam. Yu Luo did not want to have too much involvement with her, lest the Fourth Young Lady come out and see her and cause misunderstanding again.

Seeing her like this, An's eyes flashed with annoyance, and then she returned to her gentle smile, "Don't look at it. If you look again, your wife and the fourth lady will not come out to pick you up."

Yu Luo didn't take her words to heart.

In her opinion, Aunt An had a grudge against her wife, so every word she said was directed at her wife and was meant to sow discord between her and her wife. She could not be trusted and she didn't even need to listen to her.

An was actually interested in her loyalty. "Yu Luo, you are only twenty years old now, right? It's time for you to get married. But Madam has not only kept you in the mansion, but now she has humiliated you like this. Why are you still loyal to her?"

Yu Luo didn't say anything.

An smiled again and said, "Or maybe, you are not just being loyal, but you know that you and your wife are in the same boat. If you betray her, you will not end up well."

Yu Luo's eyelashes trembled.

An understood, "It seems to be the latter. If I tell you, I can find you a better job."

Yu Luo looked up at her and sneered, "What Aunt An said is really interesting. The Liu family is a well-known wealthy family in Dawei. In this Li Mansion, who has a job in the courtyard that can compare to the lucrative job in the Madam's courtyard?"

"Yes," An smiled meaningfully, "Isn't it the Third Miss who just received over a hundred pieces of betrothal gifts from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and half of your Fourth Miss's dowry?"

Yu Luo frowned. The third girl had embezzled half of the fourth girl's dowry? So she took away her mutton-fat jade bracelet?

Yuluo felt guilty for having misunderstood Li Shuyue during the day, so she became even more hostile to An. "It turns out that Aunt An was sent by the Third Miss to incite me to rebel. The Third Miss is sorry for her trouble, but if I really betrayed her master, would she dare to use a maid like me?"

An's eyes became stern.

Seeing this, Yu Luo was even more disdainful. "Please tell the Third Miss, Aunt An, not to worry. I will not betray my master."

An was not angry, she just smiled and said, "You are really a tough nut to crack. But I would like to remind you kindly that the shortbread you just ate was filled with a highly toxic drug developed by Second Miss Song by Third Miss."

Yu Luo was so frightened that her shoulders trembled. If the pastry was given to her when she needed food the most, she would of course eat it without hesitation. The third girl's calculation was really accurate.

"You understand, right? Medicine and poison are inseparable. The second Miss Song's medical skills are as superb as her poison skills. Now the only antidote is only available to the third Miss. If you feel unwell, remember to go to Jingyingju," she said to the maid who followed her, "Yunyan, let's go."

Yunyan? Yuluo looked up curiously when she heard the name.

But that person was walking on the other side of An, and after they walked away, Yu Luo could only see a figure from afar in the dim environment.

The maids around the old lady are all from the Yun generation, and among them, Yunwu and Yunyan are the most mysterious.

Yu Luo had seen these two girls before. She vaguely remembered that Yun Wu and Yun Yan had such a good relationship that they were together every day.

The two of them came and went without a trace and were only seen a few times throughout the year. However, the old lady not only did not punish them, but also made special use of them. Every time the lady talked about them with the old lady, she always got the answer that they were sent out by the old lady to do things.

For some reason, the two of them were always very capable and there was almost nothing they couldn't accomplish. For this reason, the lady even tried to allocate one from the old lady to the fourth girl.

But the old lady always evaded the question by saying that they were inseparable and it would be difficult to do anything if they were separated.

The lady was so angry that she threw things and cursed, saying that the old lady made up such a lie just to discredit her.

I have also guessed that the old lady probably wants to wait for the third girl to come back and then give these two capable girls to her.

But the Third Miss has been back for so long, and after waiting for so long, there was only news that Yun Shang had returned to the Third Miss. Now Yun Yan has gone to Aunt An, which makes Yu Luo very puzzled.

What puzzled her even more was that Yunyan, who had always wanted to walk arm in arm with Yunwu, was now willing to separate from her.

And... Yu Luo looked at the backs of An and Yun Yan as they walked further and further away. Why did she feel that this Yun Yan was different from the one she had seen before?

An brought her people back to Jingying Residence, "I want to ask how the Third Miss is. Just as the Third Miss guessed, Yuluo really ate it."

The woman beside her stepped forward and handed the mutton-fat jade bracelet to Li Qingqian with both hands. "The things that the Third Miss wanted have been taken back. Don't worry, Miss. We have done this very secretly. Madam and the Fourth Miss didn't find out at all."

Li Qingqian took the bracelet and nodded. "You and your sister have both worked for our grandmother until you are old, so I trust you. But I am sorry to have wronged you this time."

The woman shook her head. "It's not unfair. Thanks to the old lady, my sister and I can look like normal people now. We two sisters will never forget the old lady's kindness. Now that we have been assigned to work for the young lady, we should be loyal and will never betray her."

Li Qingqian smiled with satisfaction, "It's getting late, you should go down and rest first. I have Yunyi and Yunshang waiting for you. You two have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't be too tired."

"Thank you for your consideration." The woman bowed and left like a ghost.

Before An could see clearly how she left, she covered her chest in fear and looked at Li Qingqian.

Li Qingqian smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, they are martial artists, so it's normal for them to know some martial arts. Aunt An, please sit down."

"Thank you for the seat, young lady." An finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. "This time, young lady forced the old woman to confess for me, which also can be regarded as clearing the injustice of my child who died in her womb. Young lady, don't worry, after that incident, I will never be able to have children again. I also know that young lady trusts me because we have a common enemy, and I will do my best to help you."

Li Qingqian smiled and gestured to Yunchang, and Yunchang handed An a pair of earrings that she had prepared early in the morning.

"Aunt An, do you know what material these earrings are made of?"

An took a look and nodded at her, "I recognize it. This is Snow Heart Jade Glass, specially supplied by the Beiyuan royal family. I also heard from the servants in the mansion that the late Madam was rewarded by the eldest princess and got a pair."

"Yes, I kept the one my mother had, and now I'm giving you a similar one."

An was a smart woman and quickly understood her intention. "Since it is a gift from the young lady, I will wear it when I see the master tomorrow so that he can take a closer look."

Li Qingqian was very happy that she understood it immediately, and asked Yunyi to present a box. When she opened it, she saw a golden lock.

"I guess my father wouldn't allow you to accept my gift, so this is the gift I prepared for you," Li Qingqian sighed helplessly. "Although I don't know whether you are pregnant with a brother or a sister, as a mother, you must be the first one to be heartbroken after losing your child. I hope this longevity lock can comfort you."
