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

Li Qingqian looked into her eyes.

She knew that the other party was holding a grudge against her, which was why he confessed his true feelings to her as soon as possible.

Li Qingqian was at a loss, but there were some things she absolutely could not say.

Even when facing her grandmother and Shen Changyun, or even the maid who served her, she would not say a word unless it was absolutely necessary.

How else could she say that she was not unsure of his medical skills, but that she was too concerned about her brother's leg injuries. After all...in his previous life, Jiang Lin forced her to watch him being torn apart in such a cruel way?

Li Qingqian didn't know how to calm the other person's uneasy mood.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since I'm taking care of your eldest brother, shouldn't you also think about your own affairs?" Seeing her conflicted expression, Song Ningyan wiped away her tears and tried to force a smile.

Li Qingqian glanced at the prescriptions and then stuffed them back into Song Ningyan's hands. "You are open with me, and I trust you."

Song Ningyan looked at the prescription in her hand and asked in confusion: "Why, you don't want to come to see your brother?"

Li Qingqian shook her head. "Even if my brother was injured, His Majesty would not allow me to treat the palace as my own. Besides, His Majesty allowed my brother to recuperate in the palace, which is a grace to a meritorious official. The palace is heavily guarded, and His Majesty summoned you to take his pulse at night, so I feel really relieved."

"As for what I am going to do, with Shen Changyun's help, I will be able to quickly find evidence that some vicious people have harmed my eldest brother." A trace of emotion flashed in her eyes that Song Ningyan could not understand.

This made her hold Li Qingqian's hand worriedly, "You want to investigate the truth and seek revenge, I believe you can do it. But that's not what I'm worried about, Ah Qian, I'm worried about you."

"As for the other two things, even if you are too busy, I can still help you. But Ah Qian, you will spend the rest of your life with Shen Changyun. If you can't figure out the relationship yourself, no one can help you. You are alone and helpless in this matter. I don't want you to be trapped in such distress. Thinking about it over and over again like this is always harmful to your health. It's better to solve it as soon as possible."

Li Qingqian lowered his head to think for a while, then looked up at her: "Well, I understand."

When I returned to the main house, the three people in the house seemed to be talking about something.

As soon as Song Ningyan returned to the main room, she went straight to Li Xi's bed without saying a word and removed the needle for him.

Li Zhengkang didn't seem to be in a hurry. It was Li Zhen who immediately stepped forward to ask Li Qingqian, "How is it, what did the second lady say?"

Li Qingqian smiled and answered firmly: "A Ning said she can cure it."

Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was the one who went to see Song Ningyan for his grandmother's illness before. He heard that later, A Qian invited her back to the house to treat his grandmother, and now she is almost fully recovered.

Li Zhengkang was about to take her back, but he heard her say to Shen Changyun first: "Is it convenient for the prince to talk to me alone?"

Shen Changyun nodded without hesitation: "Of course, let's go."

Before Li Zhengkang could say anything, the two of them had already walked towards the ear room.

Li Zhen pulled his father back to sit down again, "Father, please be patient. Third sister and the prince are about to get married. Such a big thing has happened at this moment. I'm sure they must have something to say."

Li Zhengkang glanced at him and said, "I have thought about the matter you mentioned before. As long as you can live up to expectations in this palace examination, I will bring you to propose marriage."

Li Zhen was delighted to receive the assurance and nodded to him hurriedly, "Thank you, father. I will do my best."

Song Ningyan was not far away, and everything the father and son said came into her ears.

She had just finished collecting the needle and her hand movements paused unconsciously.

When she looked up, she met Li Zhen's eyes from outside the screen. Soon, she lowered her head and continued to pack her things.

*

Shen Changyun walked behind Li Qingqian, and the first thing he did when he entered the ear room was to close the door tightly.

He knew she must have a lot to say to him now.

But Li Qingqian remained silent with her back to him. Shen Changyun thought that she would not be able to bear such a big thing happening so suddenly.

So she cleared her throat and prepared to speak first to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Qianqian, you..."

But before he could finish his words, the next moment, Li Qingqian suddenly turned around, hugged him, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and said softly: "Yunlang, I miss you so much."

Shen Changyun couldn't move at this moment because he didn't know how he should react.

His ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding, his lips were so dry that he couldn't help but lick them with his tongue, and his hands were so flustered that he didn't know where to put them.

She called him that again.

Someone already felt uncomfortable with swelling somewhere on his body, but fortunately his winter coat was thick enough that he shouldn't feel it.

Li Qingqian waited for a long time for his response, and couldn't help but look up at him, "Why are you standing there? Can you at least give me a reaction?"

She felt that they hadn't seen each other for a month, so at least after she took the initiative, he should say "I miss you too, right?"

Shen Changyun held her shoulders with a dry mouth, pushed her away gently, lowered his head, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Wait a moment, wait a moment..." I was a little confused.

Seeing him stuttering, Li Qingqian was completely confused.

Did he push himself away?

Did he really push himself away?

Here, Shen Changyun took deep breaths and prepared himself mentally several times. Just as he was about to hold Li Qingqian in his arms to feel her body temperature, Li Qingqian left his arms first with a gloomy face.

Humph.

Let’s get back to business.

"Last time I asked you to find someone to keep an eye on Yu Luo, how is it going now?"

"My people followed her all the way. She seemed to want to go to Yunzhou, but we stopped her before she entered the city and got rid of her after some questioning. Don't worry, it's completely clean. The thing you're worried about definitely didn't happen."

As Shen Changyun answered, he touched the front of his body with an unsatisfied look, feeling her fragrance lingering on his body, and secretly hoping that Li Qingqian would come again.

But Li Qingqian's thoughts did not linger on that matter, "What about Liu's side? Is there any good news from the prince?"

When she said this, she felt a little embarrassed. She really troubled Shen Changyun every day. But she was still a girl who had not yet married. Even if she had the power of housekeeper, she could only have her own space in the Li Mansion.

Only after you get married can you start to cultivate your own person.

Well, I must bring Yunwu and Yunyan along when the time comes. They are much better than me in this regard.

Shen Changyun shook his head. "I only saw her meeting with the Liu family, but I couldn't collect any evidence of their interactions. Words are not enough, but she is still the mistress of your Li Mansion after all, so we can't just go up to her and force her to confess."

He took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to Li Qingqian, "This is the confession of her maid before her death. She pressed her fingerprints according to your instructions."

Li Qingqian took it, looked at it carefully and put it away. "She wants to go to Yunzhou. She must be going to find Liu's former dowry nanny. Now Liu doesn't know that Yu Luo has been sent away, so the nanny doesn't know that Yu Luo is dead."

As long as I take this confession with my fingerprints to see her, I won't be afraid of not being able to get any useful information out of her.

She knew that for the sake of Li Shuyue's future, Liu would never say a word even if she died.

She won't talk about her mother's life, but the same can't be said about her dowry nanny.

Especially if Liu, the backer, falls, the other party will definitely try their best to protect themselves.

Li Qingqian analyzed rationally: "Since Liu won't say anything, we can only ask the nanny about my mother's matter, but we must be especially careful not to let her know in advance that Liu can't get up. Prince, can you trouble your people to stay in Yunzhou and not let the Liu family inform her in advance?"

Shen Changyun nodded, "Of course that's no problem. Um, Qianqian, did you forget something?"

Li Qingqian suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, my thoughts changed too quickly. Now I can only say that Liu is suspected of harming my eldest brother, but we can't find any evidence. I can only move around in the capital and can only go out during the day. Prince, I may have to trouble you with this matter."

Shen Changyun was very distressed. There was no need for her to be so polite to him.

In fact, he lied. He had already obtained evidence about the conspiracy between Liu and the Liu family, otherwise the prince would not have been summoned to the palace by His Majesty so late.

But he could tell Li Zhengkang and Li Zhen about this, but not Li Qingqian.

It's not just the Liu family that is involved. Shen Changyun has seen how dignified and cautious Li Qingqian was when she was the queen in her previous life. It's not that he doesn't believe that she will keep her mouth shut.

He wanted to protect her behind him, live a happy and carefree life, and preferably never have to worry about such things.

Besides...
