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

While she was still thinking, an anxious female voice came from outside: "Mom, mom is back, right? I want to see mom!"

The next moment, Li Shuyue hurried in, holding up her skirt.

Liu hadn't seen her daughter for a long time. When she saw her, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Just when she wanted to take a good look at Li Shuyue, she was pushed away by her.

Before Liu could figure out what was going on, Li Shuyue knelt down in front of Li Zhengkang and shouted in grievance, "Father, I want to report my third sister."

After hearing her words, Li Zhengkang frowned and looked at Li Qingqian.

Li Qingqian pointed at herself innocently and said, "Report me? Report what?"

Li Shuyue snorted coldly and continued, "Third sister, you are really good at pretending. Let me ask you, where did the two maids in our house, Yuluo and Yunshuang, go?"

Li Zhengkang saw a trace of guilt flashing in Li Qingqian's eyes, and then heard her voice tremble: "Where can they go? Of course, they go to the mansion."

"You're lying!" Li Shuyue seemed to be very confident at this moment, "These two girls disappeared out of thin air in the Li Mansion."

Li Xi's face was full of displeasure. "Fourth sister, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. I also heard this after I returned home. Now the housekeeper power is in the hands of the third sister. It's such a big deal that there are no servants in the mansion. You want to slander her with empty words, right?"

Li Shuyue glared at him fiercely, "Big brother and third sister are from the same mother, so naturally they will favor her. But these two servants were lost when she was the housekeeper. Can she explain this clearly?"

Li Xi frowned slightly and said, "You are slandering others without any evidence and want to defame your own sister. Can you explain this clearly?"

"You!" Li Shuyue was about to yell at him, but she caught a glimpse of Li Zhengkang's angry eyes. She knew that she couldn't force him at this moment, so she said, "Of course I have evidence. As long as I have someone search the house from top to bottom, and they can't find Yu Luo and Yun Shuang, doesn't that prove that they are indeed missing?"

Li Qingqian found this ridiculous and almost couldn't pretend anymore. She laughed sarcastically, "What if they are out on business? Fourth sister wants to find someone right now. If you can't find them, doesn't that give you the opportunity to frame me?"

Li Shuyue insisted, "Why are you feeling guilty, Third Sister? Yuluo is my mother's maid. Without my mother and I's instructions, how could she leave the house? But don't forget that my mother was sent to Guqing Temple and I was also under house arrest. How could she leave the house to do things?"

Liu looked at her daughter and found that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. So had she been under house arrest these days?

She glared at Li Qingqian with resentment, thinking that this little bitch must have done something behind Shu Yue's back that caused her to be grounded.

Li Qingqian's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Fourth sister, you told me to take Yu Luo away that day and never let her appear in front of you again. Did you say that just to trick me today?"

Li Shuyue was slightly stunned. She had only said that sentence when she was angry. Now she was completely focused on becoming the prince's consort. How could she think about what would happen two months later?

But now that Li Qingqian had prepared the ground for her, she felt a little proud and thought she was really smart.

Liu was not as happy as she was. As a mother, she knew very well what kind of person Li Shuyue was. How could Shuyue think of such a method? How could she be willing to hand over her people to Li Qingqian?

Something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong!

Li Xi originally didn't understand why her sister would pass on the message to the other party. Wasn't this paving the way for the other party to frame her?

It was not until he exchanged glances with Li Qingqian at an angle that the other three did not notice that he realized: Li Qingqian did this on purpose.

Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Li Xi still decided to help her.

"What do you mean by never letting her appear in front of you again? Do you want to use Qian's hand to get her out of the house?"

Li Shuyue's eyes lit up and she said, "Yuluo is my mother's maid, why should I get her out of the house? What good will it do me?"

"That's not necessarily true," Li Qingqian looked at her with a slight smile on his face. "The day before you handed her over to me, you ordered her to kneel in the snow for three days and three nights. The next day, as soon as my mother left the house, she revealed to my father and me that you stole my bracelet. It's not surprising that you hold a grudge against her and want to kick her out of the house."

Liu was no longer calm, "What theft? What bracelet?"

"How dare you bring this up!" Li Shuyue was so angry that she stood up from the ground, staring at Li Qingqian with wide eyes and yelling, "If you hadn't teamed up with Yu Luo to frame me, how could I have lost Shuangyueju and moved back to Jinyuyuan?"

"What, losing Shuangyueju?" This was a great shame and humiliation! Liu couldn't pretend anymore and pointed at Li Qingqian's nose and cursed, "Li Qingqian, you little beast, you are nothing!"

The next moment, the teacup in Li Zhengkang's hand flew out and hit Liu's hand that was pointing at Li Qingqian. She screamed in pain: "Li Zhengkang, what are you doing! Are you still going to protect this little beast?"

"Mother, be careful what you say," Li Xi said to her with a gloomy face, "If Ah Qian is a little beast, then what is father?"

Liu was so angry, but she couldn't say anything because of this sentence.

Li Qingqian chuckled and said, "First she bullied the servants, then she stole the bracelet. It was obviously because Fourth Sister refused to admit her mistakes that Father punished her. What does it have to do with me? Since Fourth Sister is certain that Yu Luo is not in the mansion, she must be the one who knows best where she went, right? Since you think that thing is my fault, why don't you confront Yu Luo?"

Li Shuyue was so angry that she was shaking and could hardly stand. "I don't know where Yu Luo is now. But I heard that since the night when my third sister got the housekeeper's power, she took Yun Shuang who was with my grandmother to Jingyingju and has not let her out until now. If you have a clear conscience, you can call Yun Shuang. If she is in the mansion, then you are innocent."

Li Qingqian lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Li Zhengkang looked at her and said impatiently, "Send someone to find Yunshuang."

She still refused to move, and would not let Yun Yi and Yun Shang leave.

Liu seized the opportunity and said with a wild smile: "Are you guilty? Are you scared? It seems that these two girls really got lost during the time you were the housekeeper! If that's the case, then what qualifications do you have to be the housekeeper?"

Li Qingqian suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they were about to burst out in the next second, "Qian Qian is not guilty, Qian Qian can't tell it because of her mother!"

"For me?" Liu found it funny. "For what?"

Li Qingqian raised her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a broken yet stubborn look on her face. She turned around and took a piece of paper from Yun Yi's hand, and handed it to Liu first, "Take a look for yourself. This is why your daughter wants to protect you."

Liu took it and looked at it. It was Yu Luo's confession. It detailed how she poisoned the old lady, how she framed Li Qingqian to go to the countryside, and even how they sent Yun Shuang to the old lady's courtyard. Yu Luo seemed to have even put her fingerprints on it.

Li Shuyue was a little anxious and urged: "What does it say? Mother, tell father quickly, don't let Third Sister wrongly accuse you!"

Liu was shocked. How could she show these things to Li Zhengkang?

Li Qingqian quietly gave Li Xi a look, and Li Xi immediately understood. He pointed at the paper and asked doubtfully, "I seem to see the word 'poison', and it seems to include my grandmother's name?"

Liu's eyes widened with horror and she tore the paper in her hand into pieces.

"Mother, please don't tear it. If you tear it, I will have to put it back together again." Li Qingqian said with a wronged look.

But after hearing this, Liu stuffed the pile of paper scraps into her mouth, as if she was unwilling to give her even the slightest chance.

Li Zhengkang stood up from his chair angrily, "Liu! What are you doing!"

Li Qingqian smiled slightly, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Liu, "Come, mother, drink some tea, don't choke."

Liu was already choking, and when she saw a cup of tea in front of her, she drank it in one gulp without caring who gave it to her.

Li Qingqian smiled again and said, "Although I don't know when my mother started liking to eat paper, but now, can you prove your daughter's innocence?"
