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

She walked out of the woodshed and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

After winter comes, night always falls quickly in the capital. Just now there was still the afterglow of the evening, but now the sky has turned completely blue.

Li Qingqian raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Under the night sky, her smile seemed a little spooky. "It's really interesting."

At Songyunju, Li Qingqian came to pay her respects to the old lady in her beautiful clothes and attire.

While massaging her legs and feet again, the old lady looked at her meaningfully.

She raised her little face and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Grandma, why are you looking at Ah Qian like that?"

The old lady smiled and waved her hands. Instead of answering, she asked, "What did you do today?"

Li Qingqian answered obediently, "I sent my mother out of the house, mediated the conflict between my father and my fourth sister, went out to the market, and when I came back I learned that my fourth sister wanted to go shopping too, so I went with her."

The old lady seemed to have seen through everything and shook her head gently, "No, you little monkey are lying and trying to deceive your grandmother, aren't you?"

Li Qingqian also chuckled, "Then grandma doesn't look like she's going to blame her granddaughter."

"Why should I blame you? Now you can do things perfectly, making people breathless and unable to find fault. Even I, your grandmother, only figured it out after Liu was sent out of the house this morning. What does this mean, huh?"

The old lady smiled lovingly and held her hand. "This shows that my Ah Qian has grown up, has his own plans, and has the courage to avenge himself. Success or failure depends on the means. In this case, why does grandma blame you?"

Li Qingqian sighed slightly, "Grandma has been trapped in this deep mansion for a lifetime. What tricks have she not seen? What does this little trick of hers mean? I'm sure Grandma knows in her heart that she is not sick, but poisoned, right?"

The old lady was silent for a long time before she looked at her and said, "Even if grandma goes to heaven, she will bless us, Qian."

She didn't cry when she met her enemy again, nor did she cry when Yunshuang disappeared like a ghost. But at this moment, Li Qingqian's eyes were red because of the old lady's words, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Grandma, don't say such things. You have to live another hundred years. Let Aqian be filial to you."

"You are just talking like a child," the old lady pinched her cheek, "Grandma is already over fifty years old. If she lives another hundred years, won't she become an old monster?"

"It doesn't matter. I have this little devil, Aqian, to keep grandma company." Li Qingqian choked.

The old lady slapped her hand heavily, "You are getting more and more outrageous, you deserve to be beaten!"

Li Qingqian's skin was pale, and red marks appeared after being hit. She held her granddaughter's hand with heartache, "Your marriage was originally a good one. Your father was the left prime minister of the dynasty, and your maternal grandfather's family was also a prominent family. But since your mother passed away, your maternal grandfather fell into decline. Even though you have my care in this mansion, it seems difficult for you to move forward."

"I know my son well. If anything really happens, he won't care about you. Grandma, your words may sound harsh, but you must remember them in your heart and remember them firmly."

Li Qingqian nodded. She had seen how heartless Li Zhengkang was towards Li Shuyue, and she agreed with what the old lady said.

The old lady asked again: "You went out twice, both times to see Master Shen, right?"

Li Qingqian blushed and nodded again.

"How did he treat you?"

Li Qingqian said: "So far, every request has been granted."

"Well, you should be grateful to him for caring about you. If you become strangers in the future, don't feel sad or doubt yourself. You are his wife in the future, not a concubine. You don't have to flatter him in everything, nor can you be so self-righteous as to point fingers at him."

The old lady straightened her face, "You have to remember, as women, we must plan for ourselves. If he can treat you well for more than ten years or even decades in the future, you can't let him down, and don't be jealous about taking a concubine, it won't look good. If he can't do it, you don't have to be discouraged, put the positive side of life on yourself and the entire Zhenguogong Mansion, so that even if it comes to the point of divorce, he won't have a reason to divorce you. In this way, you can keep your own dignity."

Li Qingqian understood that what her grandmother said was all about her.

Life is not easy for women in the world. Even if they have to share their husbands with others, they cannot complain at all, otherwise people will have many reasons to label such women as "jealous women."

But the world is unfair to women, and women cannot humiliate themselves. They must also find ways to live a wonderful and glorious life.

The old lady suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Grandma has another gift for you. Aunt Liu, go get it."

Nanny Liu went away as instructed, and when she came back, she had an exquisite box in her hands.

The old lady took the box and put it in her hand, laughing softly, "Shu Yue is also grandma's granddaughter, so grandma should give her her share of dowry. But grandma gave you a little more dowry."

The old lady didn't know about the grudge between Li Qingqian and Li Shuyue, and Li Qingqian would not care too much about this matter. After all, it was her grandmother's own money, and it was her freedom to give it to whoever she wanted. What's more, she favored herself so much now?

"Grandmother knows that your father gave you half of the dowry that the Liu family gave to Shu Yue. You don't have to feel guilty about it. Humph, she used my name to send you to the countryside. Not only did she treat you badly, but she also made you feel very wronged. You sent her out of the house now to avenge her sending you away; accepting half of the dowry from the Liu family is the compensation she should have made for making you feel wronged."

"Don't worry, Shu Yue's grandmother has also added some dowry. You don't have to worry, just accept the dowry."

Li Qingqian opened the box in her hand and was shocked by the thick stack of property deeds inside. "Grandma, this is too much. Father has agreed to give the betrothal gifts sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as a dowry. You will also need money when your granddaughter gets married in the future."

The old lady smiled and teased her: "You little naughty monkey won't lose yourself, but will your grandmother lose herself? Grandmother left me a lot of money to live on~"

Li Qingqian was amused and laughed for a while. After laughing, she felt a little sad. "Grandma, I can't bear to leave you. I have been away from Beijing for three years and have not been able to fulfill my filial duties to you. In a few months, I will be separated from you again."

The old lady's eyes were also filled with mist, "Grandma can't bear to let you go... But you are the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. No matter how overbearing the Zhenguo Mansion is, can they not let the bride return home to visit her parents? When the time comes, you can still come back and talk to Grandma."

Li Qingqian buried her head in the old lady's arms. The old lady stroked her head again and again, "When you get married, you will be the distinguished wife of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion. My Ah Qian, you are finally going to make it."

After drinking the medicine under Li Qingqian's supervision, the old lady fell asleep.

Li Qingqian tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then stood up and walked towards Jingyingju.

Seeing her worried look, Yun Shang stepped forward and asked, "Miss, you have been busy until now, you haven't had a good meal yet, right? The little kitchen is warming up your favorite pork elbow in sauce, I will go get some later?"

After taking over the housekeeper position from Li Qingqian, the first thing he did was to set up the small kitchen in his yard. Yun Shang often went there these days.

She smiled and shook her head at Yun Shang, "You guys eat. I took Li Shuyue to Wanhe Tower at noon, so I'm not hungry now."

In fact, she didn't eat much. It was Li Shuyue who kept ordering and eating the dishes.

But Li Qingqian was in no mood at the moment. After putting away the box given by her grandmother, she locked herself in the room and did not even allow Yunyi Yunshang to enter.

Yunchang said to Yunyi in a somewhat depressed tone: "The girl is in a bad mood. What should we think of to make her happy?"

Yunyi didn't know what to do either.

Instead, Yunwu's voice came from the air: "The girl needs to be alone for a while now. You two don't have to do anything. Just fill your stomach and she will be very happy."

Li Qingqian straightened the bronze mirror on the table, and kept thinking about his grandmother's words in his mind.
