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

Liu's eyes turned red with jealousy as she stared at the huge amount of betrothal gifts that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave to Li Qingqian. She clenched her handkerchief tightly in both hands, unable to hold back any longer.

That night he closed the door and started throwing and smashing things in the room.

"Open your eyes and take a look. This is the marriage you chose! You really make me lose face!" Liu panted heavily, looking at Li Shuyue with eyes wide open. "No, how can my daughter bear such humiliation? In my opinion, it would be better to send a maid to marry you. If that doesn't work, I will replace the sedan chair for you and Li Qingqian!"

Li Shuyue still wanted to be the queen, and was frightened by these words, "Mom, this won't do! Jiang Lin is a prince..."

"Even if he is the emperor, he cannot humiliate you like this!" Liu was so angry that she spoke without thinking.

"Mother!" Li Shuyue shouted angrily, "You are crazy! How can you say such words casually?"

Liu, who had calmed down, was also shocked by what she had just said, but she was still unwilling to accept it: "He has been so perfunctory to you before we even got married. How can I trust you to leave the rest of your life to him?"

The more Liu thought about it, the more she regretted it. That was the marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that she and Shu Yue had been planning for many years. It was so close to being realized, but now it was lost for such a poor scholar. It was really wrong!

Li Shuyue didn't care at all. In her previous life, Jiang Lin had proposed to Li Qingqian in the same way. She had even mocked her for a long time for this. The eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion was actually marrying a poor scholar who was not presentable enough.

But who would have thought that Jiang Lin would later become the emperor? Perhaps it was because of Li Qingqian's loyalty in her previous life that Jiang Lin deposed the harem for her.

She poured Liu a cup of tea and tried to comfort her: "Think about it, I knew he was the prince by accident, so how could he not know? He must be testing us now, so you must not despise him. When he becomes successful in the future, he will remember who was the one who helped him in his most difficult time."

"Besides, it was my daughter who took the initiative to save him and attracted his attention. If we abandon him now, will he let us go when he becomes emperor in the future?"

Seeing that Liu was still thinking, Li Shuyue sneered and said in a low voice: "Mother, if Li Qingqian becomes the queen in the future, do you think she will let go of the person who harmed her biological mother?"

Liu was shocked and her pupils shrank slightly. How did Shu Yue know about this?

Seeing that she was frightened by her, Li Shuyue smiled and held her hand: "Mother, instead of worrying about these things, you should quickly tell my uncle and ask him to prepare a generous dowry. When I become the queen in the future, I will definitely not forget his kindness now."

Quiet Shadow Residence.

Li Qingqian and her two maids, Yunyi and Yunshang, were copying the betrothal gift list as a backup.

Yun Yi was copying while laughing, saying, "Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has hidden a mountain of gold and is sending it all to our daughter as a betrothal gift? We have three hands and we haven't finished copying since the evening until late at night."

After hearing her words, Li Qingqian suddenly stopped writing, raised his head and looked out the window.

Is it late at night already?

It is early winter now. Although it has not snowed yet, the cold wind makes people feel uneasy.

"What's wrong, young lady?" Yun Shang followed her gaze and exclaimed, "Ah, look at my poor memory, I think young lady is cold, I will close the window right away."

After saying that, he walked over and closed the window.

Li Qingqian came back to his senses, "Oh, no. I was just wondering if big brother would be back soon."

Yunchang poured her some hot tea. "The battle in Xiliang was a great victory, and His Majesty summoned the eldest son back to the capital. Not only the eldest son, but the young lady's wedding is scheduled for the auspicious day of February 2. Although the second son is busy with the imperial examination in March, he will also rush back to see the young lady off."

Li Qingqian lowered her head and continued transcribing. "I remember that when I left home three years ago, my second brother had already passed the imperial examination. If he has passed the imperial examination now, I think father should have found a girl for him."

Hearing this, Yun Shang's hand trembled as she poured tea, but soon returned to normal without leaving any trace. She smiled and teased, "Now that the young lady has been engaged, she has begun to think about the marriages of those around her. Hey, when the young lady marries into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, can you pay more attention to Yun Yi's marriage? I often see her practicing calling father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of the bronze mirror. She wants to get married."

Yun Yi's face turned red with anger, and he pulled her back to sit down, "Hurry up and copy with me, otherwise there are so many things, I don't know when I can finish copying!"

It was indeed too late. Li Qingqian put down his pen and said, "Forget it. I'll take a break today and continue copying tomorrow."

Yunyi Yunshang stood up and helped her undress.

Li Qingqian thought about the betrothal gift list and felt confused.

The snow-heart jade glass that is as transparent as a mirror is a specialty of the Northern Plains; the Yongxiang beads from the Western Regions are as big as peaches; and the coral from the South China Sea is so tall that even an adult man may not be as tall as it.

There is also Dawei’s treasure - the snow-melting satin that the concubines in the palace fought hard for. It is a treasure that can only be obtained once every ten years and is three meters long.

And the seldom-seen pair of golden geese, rare birds found at the border between Dawei and Beiyuan, require hunters with superb archery skills to wait for at least five to eight years to encounter them.

These things may not be bought even if you have money.

They were all gifts sent by her second uncle when she was crowned queen.

But why does it appear in the list of betrothal gifts now?

And the bracelet on her wrist. Her second uncle in her previous life said that he bought it from a good friend at a low price. How come it has become a family heirloom in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion now?

When he thought of the note that was clearly written by Shen Changyun, Li Qingqian's doubts grew stronger and stronger, and finally he became a little panicked.

She grabbed Yunyi's arm and said, "Yunyi, come with me to see Shen Changyun tomorrow."

Yun Yi looked a little confused, "Girl, this isn't good, right?"

Although the customs of the people in Dawei are not as restrictive as those in the previous dynasty, even if the wedding date is set, it is not good to tell others that the noble lady is meeting her fiancé in private.

Yun Shang was younger than her, so she was much bolder. "What's wrong with that? The young lady has made an engagement with the prince, so it's only natural for them to go out and play together."

Li Qingqian smiled and said, "I'm not asking him out to walk the dog or fight the cock. I just want to go to Guqing Temple with him to pray for a smooth marriage in the future."

Yun Yi suddenly realized: "Then I will go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to pass on the message tomorrow morning."

Seeing Li Qingqian lying down and preparing to rest, Yunyi Yunshang went downstairs.

But as soon as they left, Li Qingqian felt a little regretful.

I was really a little impulsive. What should I say to Shen Changyun when I see him tomorrow?

If he was asked if he was also reborn, then did he know what the sorcerer from the Western Regions did to allow the three of them to be reborn?

Does he think he is sick?

Ask him how he is doing recently and how he has been doing over the years.

Nonsense, he lives a life of luxury in Shengjing, it would be strange if he is not doing well.

After struggling with this problem, Li Qingqian began to worry about what to wear tomorrow.

How about wearing something simple? We are going to the temple to pray anyway.

But this is their first time going out together, won't it seem like I don't take it seriously?

Then take a good wash and dress up nicely?

Would it seem too deliberate? It would make me seem extremely anxious.

Tsk, I just mentioned this for nothing. Forget it, I will tell Yunyi tomorrow that she doesn't need to look for Shen Changyun, there is still a long way to go.

After struggling for a long time, Li Qingqian finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
