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

Song Mianshuang gasped heavily and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.

Instead, he gave Li Shuyue a seemingly kind smile, "Sister Li Si, I see that you and Li Qingqian don't seem to get along. Since neither you nor I like her, why bother to hurt the relationship? Why not join forces to deal with her?"

Li Shuyue thought it was ridiculous, "Are you mentally ill? You were the one who hit me first, and now you have the nerve to say such things."

Before Song Mianshuang could speak again, Li Shuyue interrupted her and said, "Also, don't you think what you say is really illogical? Li Qingqian is my sister. I can't possibly join forces with outsiders to deal with her, right? I don't know what's going on in Miss Song's mind that she can even come up with such a bad idea. Get out of here now and don't block the way!"

After saying this, he left Song Mianshuang, who was trembling with anger, where she was and continued walking forward.

Although Li Shuyue was very happy that some people hated Li Qingqian and even threatened to deal with her, she was not stupid. Seeing that there was a bloody fight between Li Qingqian and Song Mianshuang, how could she possibly involve herself?

Besides, she wanted to marry Jiang Lin and become the queen, and she also wanted to marry into the Eastern Palace and become the queen.

Although Jiang Lin will still be the emperor in the future, Song Mianshuang still makes her feel very uncomfortable at the moment.

As she was walking in depression, a palace maid behind her called out, "Miss Li Si."

Seeing her stop and look back, the palace maid hurried forward, looked around, and when she found that there was no one around, she stuffed a small cloth bag into Li Shuyue's hand.

She whispered, "I am the daughter of the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince is not feeling well and cannot come to attend the palace banquet, but the Third Miss of the Li Mansion helped the Seventh Prince in the past few years, so my master gave this thing to the Third Miss as a thank you gift."

The fact that His Majesty disliked the Seventh Prince was known to all the important officials in the court and their families. So, for all these years, even though there was a rule in the palace that "adult princes must live in separate residences outside the palace", the Seventh Prince was still forgotten in the most remote palace.

Li Shuyue glanced at the thing in her hand with disdain. The Seventh Prince was as cowardly as ever. He liked Li Qingqian but had no ability to compete with Shen Changyun, so he used his hand to give a gift to Li Qingqian.

"My sister has an engagement with Lord Shen. What if he dislikes my sister and wants to cancel the engagement? They are getting married next month."

The maid who received the hint lowered her eyes and smiled, saying, "Then the meaning of this gift is more than just a thank you. It can also be used as a wedding gift for Miss Li San."

Li Shuyue then smiled with satisfaction, "Well, the Seventh Prince is grateful and repays the favor. I understand."

She opened the cloth bag and saw a jade ring with Li Qingqian's maiden name engraved on it.

Li Shuyue put the things away and said to the maid, "Go back and tell your master that I will personally hand this gift to my sister and brother-in-law."

As the palace banquet was coming to an end, Li Zhengkang and a few other ministers were summoned by His Majesty, who asked Li Qingqian to take Li Shuyue back home.

However, only Li Shuyue was sitting in the carriage at the Li Mansion, because Li Qingqian was dragged by Shen Changyun to ride in the same carriage with him.

Seeing that Li Qingqian still looked a little uneasy, Shen Changyun gently held her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't take what the Fifth Princess said today to heart. We will be married next month. In the future, I will protect you as I did today and will never let you suffer any grievances."

"But this is what worries me," she put her other hand on the back of Shen Changyun's hand, "Actually, I didn't take the Fifth Princess' words today to heart. There's really no need for you to contradict the Queen for me. I tried my best to wink at you just now, but you didn't pay attention."

She was so worried about him, but he actually laughed after she said this, "Qianqian and I share the same aspirations as husband and wife. I care about you, and you care about me, too. That's great."

Li Qingqian was so angry that she patted his shoulder and said, "Can you please stop being so nonchalant every time I talk to you about something serious?"

Shen Changyun straightened his face, "It's not that I don't take your words seriously, but I know that the Queen also wants to teach the Fifth Princess a lesson. Didn't you notice that when I talked back to her about the Fifth Princess just now, she didn't blame me, but scolded her precious daughter instead?"

"I am so devoted to you and concerned about you, how can I have time to pay attention to others?"

Besides, she had seen how powerful the queen was before. What if the other party was just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?

As soon as he said this, Li Qingqian felt the heart-piercing feeling surge up again, and his face looked a little bad.

Today she quietly asked Song Ningyan to feel her pulse, but found no symptoms.

Li Qingqian wondered if it was because of rebirth? To be blessed by God, one must give something in return.

But if she had to endure such pain just because she wanted to be closer to Shen Changyun, Li Qingqian thought, she might not be afraid and would not back down.

But when Shen Changyun heard her accidentally say her true feelings, he felt sweet in his heart.

"On the Lantern Festival, I invited my wife to go out and enjoy the lanterns."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up."

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, probably as it was about to reach Li Prefecture.

Shen Changyun suddenly reached out his hand to Li Qingqian. He wanted to hold her hand again.

But for some reason, Li Qingqian was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into Shen Changyun's arms with a red face. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he regained his composure.

As clear as ever, Li Qingqian thought maliciously that there might be an old tree hidden inside, the same old tree they first saw when they were young.

The lingering scent of plum blossoms lingered in her heart, inexplicably soothing Li Qingqian's anxious mood over the past few days due to family matters.

She buried her head deeply in Shen Changyun's arms, greedily breathing in every inch of his fragrance.

A light laugh came from above his head. Shen Changyun placed his chin lightly on Li Qingqian's head and hugged the girl tighter.

The girl in his arms mumbled something.

When they arrived at the gate of Li's house, Shen Changyun helped Li Qingqian get out of the car and watched her go in silently, without a trace of nostalgia on his face.

But it was not until he returned to the carriage and avoided Li Shuyue, who was following Li Qingqian and keeping an eye on them, that he could not help laughing.

He heard Li Qingqian's confession.

"Shen Changyun, I like you."

Shen Changyun heard it.

Li Shuyue followed behind Li Qingqian, and seeing that she looked uncomfortable, she asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you, sister? Did you have a fight with the prince?"

Li Qingqian looked at her with a slightly frowned brow, without saying a word.

Li Shuyue was even more certain of her guess. She raised her lips and said, "Sister is also willful. Master Shen is a very good husband in terms of both family background and appearance. You are going to get married next month, but you are still quarreling with him now. Aren't you making yourself unhappy? I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future."

Li Qingqian's eyes welled up with tears. "Fourth sister, are you out of your mind? Just now on the way to the palace banquet, weren't you still acting like you wanted to get along with me in harmony?"

Seeing that she was unhappy, Li Shuyue felt happy in her heart, "Don't be angry, sister. I am just reminding you with good intentions. If this makes you unhappy, I won't say it again in the future."

Li Shuyue took Cui'er to Jinyuyuan to take a look, her back looking proud and arrogant.

Li Qingqian looked at the smug figure, the expression on her face gradually faded, and the tears in her eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Miss, are you indulging the fourth lady again this time?" Yun Yi asked.

Li Qingqian gave her an approving look and said, "Not bad, you've learned your lesson."

"Alas, every time the young lady wants to punish Liu and the fourth young lady, she always looks like this. I am really worried that one day, the young lady will be wronged, but I and Yunshang will not be able to see it."

"Don't worry," Li Qingqian patted her shoulder, "I won't let anyone else suffer any injustice for you, my girl."

Yun Chang smiled slyly, "Yun Yi can see that the young lady is deliberately indulging the fourth young lady, but the fourth young lady herself seems to have not figured it out yet?"

"Humph, she wanted to harm me so badly that she took action as soon as she got the chance, refusing to give me a break. How could she have thought that I would go along with it?"

Li Qingqian held the jade pendant engraved with herself and Shen Changyun on her waist, and said with some emotion: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I will be married."
