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

Yu Lian went out as requested, and when she came back she brought in an old woman with a hunched back and a haggard face.

Li Shuyue went over to support her with a big smile on her face, "Aunt is here, come, sit down quickly."

Then she saw Liu blocking the road and frowned in dissatisfaction: "Mom, please move aside. Auntie is old, let her sit down."

Liu looked at her daughter in disbelief. She was Li Shuyue's biological mother, but she was being blocked in the middle of the road by her daughter? And in her house.

She immediately said angrily, "I am your mother. How can you talk to your mother like that? I made it clear last time that this old woman is not allowed to come to Jinyuyuan!"

After hearing this, Aunt Jiang's expression flashed with gloom for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and lowered her head with a humble and ingratiating smile.

In fact, she was not too old. Although she was ten years older than Liu, she was only a few years older than Li Zhengkang.

But because she worked too hard and raised children in her early years, she now has a head full of white hair and looks no different from an old woman in her sixties.

Aunt Jiang almost buried her head in the ground at this moment, "Yes, Madam is right. But I came here today for the good of the Fourth Young Lady."

After hearing this, Liu laughed angrily, "You two, mother and son, the older one tried every possible way to instigate the younger one to ask my daughter for money, and the younger one used sweet words to coax my daughter into losing her way. You thought my daughter was stupid and weak, but you fooled her around!"

Every time she said one more word, Aunt Jiang's expression became even worse.

Li Shuyue was anxious and tried to stop Liu from talking, "Oh, mother, Auntie is like his own mother to Jiang Lang. When my daughter gets married next month, you two will be in-laws. Why are you saying such polite words?"

"In-laws?" Liu waved her sleeves in anger, turned around and sat down, glaring fiercely at Aunt Jiang who was standing beside her with her back bent. "I don't want to marry an in-law like this who is so servile and fawning, and who does ridiculous things before we even get married!"

Li Shuyue became even more anxious. "Oh, mother, what do you mean by that? My daughter is getting married next month. If you go back on your word now, won't your daughter become a laughing stock in the whole capital?"

Liu's eyes lit up: "You know now that you are the laughing stock of the whole capital? When you jumped into the river to save someone, the whole capital knew that you saved Jiang Lin and had physical contact with him. How come you didn't realize that you had already become the laughing stock of the whole capital?"

Aunt Jiang's eyes trembled slightly.

"But, but it has already happened. Besides," she gently pulled Liu's sleeve and lowered her voice, "please don't forget about our business."

Liu glared at her fiercely and turned her head away, unwilling to look at them again.

Aunt Jiang smiled awkwardly and said to them in a flattering manner, "I also raised Ah Lin, so I am half his mother. Since Madam also mentioned what happened last night, I am here to apologize to Madam and the Fourth Miss for this matter."

Li Shuyue pretended to be generous at the moment, and waved her hands and said, "As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. It was Jiang Lin who wronged me, so what does it have to do with Auntie?"

After hearing this, Aunt Jiang's expression seemed to ease.

Li Shuyue added: "Speaking of this, I am curious. I have never heard Jiang Lang mention that he has a confidante before. It seems that she suddenly appeared yesterday. I just suspected that he betrayed me. If this girl is really the one that Jiang Lang likes, I can make the decision and take her into the mansion after she gets married."

When Liu heard this, she couldn't stand it.

It was Jiang Lin who clearly made the mistake, and Li Shuyue didn't dare to argue with him, but she even rushed to take a concubine for him?

What is the consequence of taking a concubine for a man? Haven't you experienced it yourself?

Over the years, I have finally managed to keep all the girls in Li Zhengkang's house obedient, but now, Li Shuyue is following in my footsteps.

Liu couldn't bear to listen any longer and didn't want to say another word. She stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Yu Lian looked up at Li Shuyue, and after she waved her hand, she followed Liu.

Only Li Shuyue and Aunt Jiang stayed to talk.

Aunt Jiang sighed and said slowly, "I didn't like Miss Ling in the first place. It's strange to say, I've lived in Bailian Town for decades, but this is the first time I've seen such a charming woman."

Li Shuyue became interested, "Oh? Did Ling Ling also live in Bailian Town since childhood?"

Aunt Jiang nodded. "Her parents are ordinary farmers. They only have one daughter, and they love her very much. When she was little, she was sensible and well-behaved. She often came to my house to play. At that time, I had just lost my son and husband, and I only had a sickly daughter by my side. She played very well with my daughter and A-Lin."

"But one day, she said she wanted to take my daughter and A-Lin out to play, so I told them to be careful. But who would have thought..." Aunt Jiang choked up a little, "They took my daughter to the river to play. The autumn breeze was chilly, and my daughter was already in poor health. She caught a cold and became even sicker. No matter how many doctors she saw, it was useless. My family was originally poor, and later we couldn't afford the money for medicine, so my daughter passed away."

After she finished speaking, Aunt Jiang's face was already full of tears, and she even began to beat her chest and stamp her feet.

Li Shuyue patted her back gently, feeling a little guilty.

Some time ago, she learned from the old maid in the mansion that the other party's daughter died of lack of medicine because her mother withheld the salary.

When she thought of this, Li Shuyue's right eyelid twitched.

But she didn't care and didn't want to listen to Aunt Jiang complaining.

Now that he was willing to listen to her, he just wanted the other person to think that he was a good person and be able to win her over.

But in her eyes, these miserable people are not really miserable, because they are just a bunch of servants.

Li Shuyue pulled the corners of her mouth, sighed, and said softly: "In that case, your sister is really pitiful. Miss Ling Ling must feel guilty, right?"

Aunt Jiang wiped away her tears and said fiercely, "She feels guilty for nothing! She still lives well in this world with a clear conscience, smiling every day, and every time she sees me, she pretends to ask me how I am. She harmed my daughter, but now she can live such a good life."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Jiang Lang likes her so much." Li Shuyue said deliberately.

Aunt Jiang looked at Li Shuyue quietly for a few times, and then whispered, "Young lady, do you still remember the bracelet I gave you a year ago?"

Li Shuyue thought about it and realized that the bracelet was so plain and shabby that she had never worn it since she showed it off in front of Li Qingqian.

Aunt Jiang smiled mysteriously, "I bought it specially after A-Lin came to Beijing. She said it was a gift for my future wife."

After arriving in Beijing, weren't those the days when Jiang Lin asked the matchmaker to come and propose marriage?

No wonder he didn't come in person that day but sent a matchmaker.

She originally thought that Jiang Lin didn't cherish her, but it turned out that he went to buy her a gift at that time?

Li Shuyue thought of the bracelet. Although it was not very luxurious, it was probably the best thing Jiang Lin could give her at that time, which was enough to show his true love for her.

Thinking of this, Li Shuyue's cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

But in the corner where she couldn't see, Aunt Jiang's eyes looked a little strange.

Then she said, "I guess you've seen Ah Lin so many times recently, but you haven't worn that bracelet, right?"

Li Shuyue nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"So, Ah Lin was overthinking. He thought that you looked down on his background and disliked his lack of money, so you got angry with me. And because Ling Ling was from the same hometown as him, they became closer."

So that's how it is! Li Shuyue suddenly realized.

She said awkwardly, "He is such a jerk. If he has any dissatisfaction in his heart, why can't he just tell me directly? He has to beat around the bush to make me angry."

Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "Our Ah Lin has been lonely and helpless since childhood. She is so twisted because of the lack of care and love. After you get married next month, I hope you can be more tolerant of Ah Lin."

"Of course, since I chose him, I will not abandon him," Li Shuyue took Aunt Jiang's cracked hand, "Aunt Jiang told me so much today, I know that Aunt Jiang treats me well. In the future, please take good care of me."

"Of course." Aunt Jiang responded.
