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

Li Qingqian walked into the main hall of Jinyuyuan, and Li Zhengkang was already waiting for her there.

"Ah Qian greets father," she bowed politely, looked around, and asked curiously, "Hey, where's mother? Didn't my second brother bring her back? It's my daughter's turn to greet her."

Li Zhengkang did not answer her question. Instead, he took two steps forward, came in front of her, and asked solemnly: "Do you know?"

Li Qingqian asked blankly: "What do you mean you don't know?"

Li Zhengkang took a look at her expression, then slowly walked to the main seat behind him. After sitting down, he pointed to the record of the lodging on the table and said, "Your second brother went to Guqing Temple to pick someone up this morning, but was told that Liu had not stayed there these days. Do you know about this?"

Li Qingqian did not respond immediately, but walked forward and picked up the record of the stay, seeming a little surprised, "How is this possible? Father once said that mother should go to Guqing Temple to reflect on herself. The day she left home, father and I sent her out together. How come it is not there?"

Li Zhengkang knocked the teacup again and again with the lid, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Father, since mother is not in Guqing Temple, where did she go? It's New Year's Day, we still have to find mother." Li Qingqian suggested, "Why don't I go to Guqing Temple with you again? Maybe mother is still angry. If I go with you, mother will see my sincerity and maybe she will calm down."

Li Zhengkang looked up at her, his eyes fierce as he said, "Okay, I'll go with you. But Li Qingqian, listen to me, if your mother isn't there this time, I'll hold you accountable!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.

"Of course my mother is not there." Li Qingqian's faint voice came from behind him. The voice didn't sound loud, but it seemed to have an invisible sense of coldness.

Li Zhengkang stopped and turned back suddenly.

But he found that Li Qingqian was looking at him with a smile in her eyes, but her eyes were extremely cold.

She slowly walked to Li Zhengkang and said, "My mother is buried underground."

Li Qingqian's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it made Li Zhengkang feel a chill on his back for no reason. An unknown fear arose in his heart, making him subconsciously take a step back.

The father and daughter looked at each other for a while, and Li Qingqian smiled and slowly said, "Let's go, father, let's go and take Mother Liu home."

When the carriage slowly stopped in front of Guqing Temple, Yunyi whispered to Li Qingqian, "Don't worry, young lady. Liu was supposed to return to Guqing Temple this morning. Fortunately, young lady had told the people arranged by sister Yunwu in advance, so she was delayed on the road for a while. Liu returned here just after the second young master left."

Li Qingqian nodded, "She must also know that her father would not let her, who is still the mistress of the Li family, be detained for so long, and would definitely take her back during the New Year. But if she really went home smoothly, then there would be no need for evidence of her evil deeds with the Liu family."

Yun Yi was a little confused. "But the young lady has already obtained the evidence of her secret dealings with the Liu family. It was Cui Er who intercepted it. She originally ordered someone to secretly pass the letter to the fourth young lady. So why didn't the young lady just reveal it directly during this period of time?"

Li Qingqian shook her head and said, "Shen Changyun guessed that I was eager to take revenge and would expose the Liu family during this period, so he found a way for me to meet him and analyzed the people involved. It is far more than just the Liu family."

This involves state affairs, so she cannot tell Yunyi and Yunshang.

It's just that, "We can take advantage of this time to settle a personal grudge. We have obtained more evidence than just this matter during this period."

Yun Shang looked at her curiously and expectantly, "Miss, I always feel that this annual meeting is going to be very lively?"

Li Qingqian smiled and said, "The New Year is coming soon. We have to pay off some debts so that we can have a happy New Year."

Yun Chang hasn't forgotten that yet, "Yes, the fourth lady still owes our lady a large sum of money."

Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, "When Liu comes back, she will have to pay off the fourth lady's debt. She will probably faint from anger."

Li Qingqian followed Li Zhengkang into the house on the back mountain of Guqing Temple.

Li Zhengkang looked at his daughter beside him, who had been restless since arriving at the back mountain, and asked casually, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Qingqian shook her head gently. "My daughter is worried about the safety of Liu's mother. If she is not here, where should we go to find her?"

Li Zhengkang curled the corners of his mouth and said, "What a good actor."

They came to a remote courtyard and pushed open the door. They saw Liu kneeling in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall with her eyes closed and Buddhist beads in her hands, looking very pious.

So pious...that he didn't even seem to notice they had come in.

Li Qingqian called out softly, "Mother?"

Liu didn't answer.

Li Zhengkang: "Liu family."

She still didn't answer.

Until Yulian, who had been serving her during this period, came back to the house and said to her, "Madam, the master and the third lady are here."

Liu slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't turn around. She murmured in disbelief, "Master? Ah Qian? Why are they here?"

Li Qingqian felt speechless and glanced at her father, who didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.

So I had to shout again: "Mother, it's A Qian and Father. We are here to take you home."

After hearing her voice, Liu slowly turned around. The moment she saw Li Zhengkang, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and then she collapsed to the ground.

Yu Lian hurried forward to support her, "Madam, I didn't lie to you, it's really the master and the third lady."

Liu still looked at Li Zhengkang in disbelief, muttering: "It's really the master, it's really the master..."

As he said this, he was about to go up and grab the corner of Li Zhengkang's clothes, but Li Zhengkang dodged him with disgust.

Li Qingqian complained in her heart: I've only been away from home for a month or two, why does it feel like I just experienced the separation of life and death?

"Okay, go back home quickly, Shu Yue misses you very much."

After saying that, he walked out.

Li Qingqian went up to help Liu, who was lying on the ground and refused to leave, and said, "Mother, let me help you. Come here."

Unexpectedly, Liu grabbed her arm and said, "Ah Qian, Shu Yue was not sensible enough in the past. Mother apologizes to you on her behalf. Can you let her go? Please let her go."

Li Qingqian's lips curled slightly, and the next moment she looked like a frightened little white rabbit, and she said in a tearful voice, "Mother, what are you talking about? Shuyue is my sister, how could I do anything to her? You really misunderstood Ah Qian by saying that. Shuyue is ignorant, but is Ah Qian also ignorant?"

Liu was stunned where she was. She didn't expect Li Qingqian to react like this.

Moreover, she said that Shu Yue was ignorant in order to win favor in front of Li Zhengkang. How could this little girl actually turn around and scold her own daughter?

Liu grabbed her hand and unconsciously began to use force, her nails even digging into the flesh on the back of her hand, causing Li Qingqian to gasp in pain.

Li Zhengkang heard something was wrong in the room. He was already filled with anger. Seeing this, he could not help but yell at Liu: "What are you still standing there for? Go back now!"

After saying this, he left in anger.

As soon as he walked away, Li Qingqian held Liu's hand and said with a smile, "Mother, can we go now?"

Liu glared at her fiercely, then smiled and said, "Ah Qian, help me walk. I heard that your eldest brother is back. I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him so much."

A hint of coldness flashed across Li Qingqian's eyes. "Well, he is at home now, waiting for mother to go back and see him."

Before Li Qingqian went to Jinyuyuan, he asked someone to notify Li Xi to wait at Jinyuyuan.

The moment Liu saw Li Xi, the smug look in her eyes froze in an instant.

Li Xi? Shouldn't his legs be completely disabled? How could he still be standing here?

Li Xi looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and the arc of his mouth was full of sarcasm: "The son greets the mother. Why, the son has returned victoriously, and the mother is not happy to see me?"

Liu swallowed guiltily and forced a smile, "I'm glad. Mother has missed you so much these years. How can I not be happy to see you?"

But he was very panicked. Li Xi was standing here peacefully. Wouldn't his and his elder brother's plan be in vain?

This incident not only cost the Liu family their last bit of money, but also put their entire family at risk of harming the general who had returned victoriously. Now they have failed?
