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

"Yun Yi, I asked you to deliver a message to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion early in the morning. Did the prince agree?"

Yun Yi smiled unhappily, "The prince said before that he would be free every day as long as the girl invites him."

Li Qingqian's gloom and anger from the conversation with Yu Luo just now faded away instantly, and she said cheerfully: "Then you should dress up for me... Hey, what do you think of my outfit today? Does it look good?"

Yun Yi smiled helplessly, "It's beautiful, our third girl is beautiful no matter what. I say, girl, can't you be more confident? After all, you are a famous beauty. When facing Master Shen, can't you be a little more confident?"

Not long after, Yu Luo changed her clothes and came back with Yun Shang.

Yunyi looked up and saw that her girl's face suddenly fell again.

However, she also agreed with the girl's current attitude towards Yu Luo, and she even felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger.

It was because of Yu Luo's instigation that Liu found the master and drove them to the countryside.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for two twelve-year-old girls to depend on each other in a strange environment where they are unfamiliar with the place, not to mention that they have to deal with the maids and old women who are monitoring them.

It was during those three years that Yunyi witnessed the girl's transformation from a timid little girl into a girl with great ambitions.

Or maybe, the girl is like this herself, but she had to restrain her edge because she was concerned about the old lady in the Li Mansion.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi was so heartbroken for Li Qingqian, and her attitude towards Yu Luo was not much better.

The girl should have taken this opportunity to kick Yu Luo out completely, so why did she prepare money for her and escort her out of the house?

But Yunyi knew that the girl had her own plans, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The Li government's carriage stopped in front of the post house not far from the city gate.

Li Qingqian said to Yu Luo: "Don't leave the city today, so as not to attract too much attention."

Yu Luo nodded perfunctorily, got off the carriage in a hurry without saying hello, and walked towards the inn.

Through the car window, Li Qingqian glanced at Yu Luo's back, which had already revealed her true identity, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go, let's go see the prince."

Yu Luo’s figure is similar to Yun Yi’s, so Yun Shang is the one who follows Li Qingqian out in order to pretend to be her.

Although she was smarter, she couldn't figure it out at the moment, "Does the girl trust her so much?"

"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about Shen Changyun."

The carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion soon met them. Li Qingqian got off and rode in the same carriage with Shen Changyun, while Yun Shang stayed in Li Qingqian's carriage. Shen Changyun's attendant sat outside with the coachman.

After the two carriages went around the posthouse, they saw Yu Luo carrying a bundle and walking quickly towards the city gate stealthily.

Li Qingqian leaned against the car window, turned his back to Shen Changyun and said, "Sir, are your people reliable?"

"Don't worry, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is also considered a royal family, and there are many confiscated slaves in the mansion. These slaves grew up in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and signed a death contract," Shen Changyun stroked her hair, "Besides, how can I find someone unreliable for you?"

"That's not what I'm talking about," Li Qingqian sat up straight, "I asked you to send these people to me this time so that I could scare Yu Luo on the way, so as to force her to tell me whether it was Liu who poisoned my grandmother. But no matter what the result is, Yu Luo can't return to the Li Mansion, and can't be found by the Liu family to avoid alerting them."

Shen Changyun understood what she meant, "So Yu Luo must die. Madam, do you want to give her a painful and long death process?" To avenge herself for being sent to the countryside?

"No," Li Qingqian shook her head, "The cleaner Yu Luo's death, the better. First, I don't want too many people to be involved. The more people involved, the more trouble there will be. Second, as a woman, it's my selfish desire..."

Shen Changyun listened to her patiently until she finished speaking.

"Things in this world are inherently unfair to men and women. I... I have seen many women who are helpless, and I feel pity for them but cannot help them. Yu Luo's death this time must be clean, it can be a direct slit throat, or a cup of poison. But your people are not allowed to rape and kill her, nor are they allowed to kidnap her to brothels, and they are not allowed to take this opportunity to give her to those dignitaries as a toy for fun."

Shen Changyun was a little depressed, "Madam, is this how I am in your eyes?"

Li Qingqian was even more depressed than him. "Silly boy, of course I don't think of you like this. If I didn't trust you, why would I ask you for help? I don't trust them. What if they left you and harbored evil intentions? I was the one who approached you first, and you made a solemn promise to me. If things don't go as planned, how uncomfortable will it be between us in the future?"

Shen Changyun laughed dumbly and gently stroked Li Qingqian's face with his fingers, "Qianqian, do you feel that we are becoming more and more like a newlywed couple?"

Li Qingqian was embarrassed and annoyed by his teasing, "I'm talking to you about serious matters, don't tease me!"

"Okay, okay, let me talk to you about serious matters." Shen Changyun hugged her in his arms, smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Li Qingqian then looked up at him, "Really?"

"How could it be false?" Shen Changyun gave her a reassuring smile, "Those people were trained by my husband himself. They only know how to kill people and do things, not how to play with women."

Li Qingqian patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Well, Prince, you did a great job on this matter."

"Then your husband should be rewarded!"

When talking about this, Shen Changyun's eyes lit up.

He didn't care, he let her slip away last time, and this time he had to make up for the kiss he missed last time.

Li Qingqian smiled mysteriously and waved a finger in front of his eyes. "I did have one originally, but someone tried to change the subject when I was talking about the main point just now, so it's gone now."

After saying this, without giving Shen Changyun any chance to exploit any loopholes, she pointed her finger forward and said, "Now follow Liu's carriage, forward!"

Shen Changyun touched his nose. Although he felt that the word "follow" seemed a bit unpleasant, he knew it was the one since his wife said so.

His finger also pointed forward, "Forward!"

Just now it was Li Qingqian who was leaning against the car window and secretly looking out, but now it was Shen Changyun who was accompanying her and secretly looking out.

The two heads communicate with each other from time to time.

"My wife's schedule is really busy. Just now she was a maid following my stepmother, and now she is following my stepmother directly. Well, why don't you just follow your husband for a while? Let's go to our Zhenguo Mansion for dinner tonight!"

Li Qingqian glanced at him resentfully, "Tsk, what are you thinking about? I have finally earned a place in front of my father these past two days, I can't just throw it back like this. He told me today that if I mess up, the consequences will be extremely bad."

"He is still threatening you? Then you must come back with me. I want to see which is bigger, his Prime Minister's Mansion or my country's Duke's Mansion."

"You're getting more and more ridiculous," Li Qingqian patted his head gently, "Yunlang, do you listen to me?"

But she didn't wait for Shen Changyun to continue, so she turned around and asked, "Are you listening to me?"

Shen Changyun swallowed his saliva, his ears turned red, "Of course I will listen to Qianqian."

He cleared his throat and wanted to ask Li Qingqian if he could call him that again, but his long-time attendant Bai Qian and Qianqian's little girl had already returned.

Bai Qian walked in front, bowed respectfully to the two of them, and helped Yun Shang who almost tripped.

"I took Miss Yunshang to check. A carriage just left the small gate at the back of the mountain. Judging from the direction, it seemed to be heading to Chengfu Temple."

Yun Shang took a step forward and lowered her voice to Li Qingqian, "I saw it too. I saw it clearly. That was Madam Liu from our house."

Chengfu Temple?

Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun looked at each other. Why did Liu Shi go to Chengfu Temple? Wouldn't it be more convenient for Li Shuyue to visit her if she stayed in Guqing Temple?
