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

*

The old lady's health got better day by day, and when Li Qingqian went to pay her respects every day, her spirits were always getting better and better.

After dealing with the servants' affairs in the mansion, the old lady was able to get up and walk completely. Li Qingqian helped her walk in the corridor. It was a rare opportunity for the grandparents and grandchildren to have such leisure time.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. Dalang will arrive in the capital in a few days. Erlang will also have to come back to celebrate the New Year. You have also returned to the capital. It is a rare opportunity for the three of you to spend the New Year with your grandmother."

Li Qingqian supported the old lady's arm and said with a smile: "Qian has grown a lot taller and more mature in these years. I wonder if the eldest and second brothers will recognize me when they see me."

The old lady was amused by her, "You look like your mother, how could those two brats not recognize you? If you really can't even recognize your own sister, it doesn't matter. Grandmother is getting better and better, and I will teach them a lesson for you then."

"Hey, grandma is the best to me." Li Qingqian smiled like a little child.

Looking at the frozen lake, the old lady suddenly thought of something, "Hey, why didn't you go to see Master Shen this month? Did you two have a fight?"

"That's not the case," Li Qingqian consoled him with a smile, "The prince treated me well, I remember that, how could I have quarreled with him? It was my own fault."

The old lady stopped and looked at her with a frown, "What's your reason? Have you discussed it with him?"

Li Qingqian shook her head, "No. I figured it out myself. My grandmother warned me that day to remember the prince's kindness. I don't need to cause him any more trouble with these things."

The old lady looked at her, then suddenly smiled and continued walking forward, "Then you misunderstood what Grandmother said that day. Grandmother did want you to put the right head on yourself. But, don't forget to discuss this with the prince, right?"

The old lady took her by the hand and sat her down at the stone table in the pavilion, and Li Qingqian poured two cups of hot tea for her and himself.

Then she continued, "You two haven't gotten married yet. Even if you are married, it's best not to hide your feelings in your honeymoon period. If you keep your feelings to yourself and he doesn't say anything when facing your sorrow, it will only increase the estrangement between you."

Li Qingqian listened and nodded, "Okay, granddaughter has made a note of it. This month, granddaughter was really only concerned with avoiding solving problems, so she found a way to open a restaurant with An Ning to keep herself busy. She has been thinking about these things alone for a month."

She thought for a moment and then continued, "It is winter now. Ah Ning told me that this year's plum blossom banquet in the capital will be organized by her wife, Marquis Ding'an. Then I can invite the prince and take the opportunity to talk to him about these things?"

The old lady nodded and asked with concern, "You said you have been thinking about these things alone for a month. Have you figured it out?"

Li Qingqian lowered her head, looked at the red plum blossom in her hand and thought for a while, then smiled honestly and shook her head, "I don't really understand."

This month, she read the medical books that Aning gave her in the morning, and was busy learning music, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework in the afternoon, constantly enriching herself. She also had to find time to manage household affairs and supervise the old lady to take medicine, and also take care of the restaurant with Aning. Her life was very fulfilling and busy.

Fortunately, Liu was taken away early, and Li Shuyue didn't cause any trouble, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to do anything.

In this situation, there is basically no time to worry about it.

The old lady looked at her and laughed, "Hahahahaha, grandma doesn't really understand either."

After laughing for a long time, the smile on his face was slowly covered with a layer of sadness, "I really don't understand."

As he spoke, he looked up at the icy lake not far away.

Li Qingqian knew what she was thinking about, it was her grandfather who had passed away long ago.

My grandfather was a minor official when he was alive. He was very slippery in official circles, but he often made mistakes when it came to matters with my grandmother.

In fact, they had been childhood sweethearts. In the first few years after my grandfather married my grandmother, he and her lived in harmony and love.

When he was just starting out in the political arena, even if he was too busy, he would always take time out to have a meal with his grandmother.

My grandmother also rejected the marriage proposal from a scholar who went to Beijing with my grandfather to take the imperial examination and later became the top scorer in the imperial examination. She asked her parents for help and married my grandfather.

My grandmother's father and mother loved each other all their lives and there was no concubine in the family. My grandmother thought that all loving couples in the world were like this.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. After my grandfather had been in officialdom for a long time, he began to spend his time drinking and carousing with his colleagues in officialdom. When my grandmother was pregnant with Li Zhengkang, he even brought a courtesan from outside and made her his concubine!

That aunt had evil intentions. She tampered with my grandmother's pregnancy when she gave birth to my father. Although she saved Li Zhengkang, she also injured my grandmother's body and made her unable to have children again.

But my grandfather resolutely stopped my grandmother from dealing with the concubine. My grandmother was disappointed and became estranged from my grandfather.

Later, my grandfather brought one aunt after another into the mansion. Li Qingqian's uncles and aunts were the children of these aunts.

My grandmother was a strong-willed lady from a wealthy family. She couldn't make ends meet, so she sued my grandfather to the government for taking an oiran as his concubine while she was pregnant.

Dawei has a law that although officials can take concubines, there are two situations in which they cannot do so: one is when there is a national mourning, and the other is when the wife is pregnant.

Not to mention that the concubine even attacked the wife while she was giving birth. As a result, the concubine was driven out, and my grandmother divorced my grandfather without even looking back.

Her grandmother was disappointed and never remarried in her hometown. Fortunately, Li Zhengkang had feelings for his mother, and after he passed the imperial examination, he took his biological mother to live with him to take care of her.

After my grandmother returned to Beijing, my grandfather had passed away a long time ago, having died of... a stroke.

But my grandmother just smiled at that time and didn't care, because she felt more sorry for herself than for that unfaithful man.

Li Qingqian sighed in her heart. This was the case with her grandmother and grandfather, and also with Li Zhengkang and Liu Shuniang. They were childhood sweethearts, but in the end, things became tense and even ended in a bad way.

She and Shen Changyun were childhood sweethearts, and this was the main reason for Li Qingqian's worry and fear.

After having given his all in his previous life, Li Qingqian still faced such an ending. It would be a lie for him to say that he was not frustrated.

But she couldn't find anyone to talk to, not even her grandmother, about her rebirth. She didn't want the old lady to feel sad and angry for her.

Therefore, under such pressure, Li Qingqian did not think that he would get the other party's sincere preference.

She held the old lady's hand, smiled and comforted her, "Don't think about it, grandma. Ah Ning and I are slowly starting to run our restaurant. When you are well again, your granddaughter will take you to try it."

The old lady turned her head with a smile on her face, "You and Ah Ning are very close. Hey, grandma, I heard that the restaurant's specialty dishes were all thought up by her?"

When talking about Song Ningyan, Li Qingqian always admired her sincerely. "Not only the dishes, but even the name Changminglou was thought up by her. She said that it not only represents the good tea and food of this restaurant, but also implies that Dawei will be prosperous for a long time. When the news reached the ears of His Majesty in the palace, His Majesty was very happy and rewarded many treasures. Especially her copper pot hot pot meat, it is the best to eat in winter now, grandma, please eat more of it then."

"Oh," the old lady smiled even more, "Then for the sake of our Ah Qian and Ah Ning's copper pot hot pot meat, grandma can no longer find excuses to avoid the soup medicine after every meal these days?"

"Of course not," Li Qingqian said with a straight face, and then laughed, "Grandma, you can see that Ah Ning is a woman who does whatever she wants and is good at everything she does. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and now she has learned medicine and cooking. I have liked her tenacity since she was a child. Grandma should also listen to her and take medicine on time every day, so that you can get better quickly."

But when saying this, Li Qingqian felt a little confused. When she met her two days ago, An Ning's needlework skills seemed to have regressed a lot.

Could it be that he has become proficient in medicine and cooking recently, but has regressed in this area?

After returning to Jingyingju, Li Qingqian began to think about what she should say when she met Shen Changyun.

Yun Shang suggested, "Why don't you take out the notebook that Miss Song Er gave you last time and take a look at it?"

Neither she nor Yunyi really understands the relationship between men and women. Maybe those storybooks can give the girl some ideas?
