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

*

Quiet Shadow Residence.

Cui Er took the small porcelain bottle handed over by Yun Shang with both hands and said respectfully to Li Qingqian who was sitting on the main seat: "Thank you, Third Miss, for giving me the medicine."

"You have performed well during this period and have done a lot for me. Naturally, you deserve a reward." Li Qingqian said with a smile.

In fact, those bills were not taken from Yu Luo.

Yu Luo had passed away long ago, so it was impossible for her to take away Li Shuyue's bills. These things were given to her privately by Cui'er.

However, Cui'er still worked for her, and she couldn't push the other party to the peak of the storm. After thinking about it, Yu Luo was the best candidate.

Putting the blame on her was both logical and left no trace. Even if Liu and Li Shuyue wanted to investigate, they would not be able to find out.

Cui Er smiled, "I know who I should work for to have a good life. Third Miss didn't mind that I was in Fourth Miss's room, and she generously gave me medicine to treat my chronic illness. I will never forget your kindness."

Li Qingqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you have nothing else to do, go back first. If you are late, Fourth Sister will probably take it out on you again."

Cui Er didn't plan to leave at this moment, but said to Li Qingqian seriously: "I have something else to report. On the day of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, the fourth lady left me and went to the imperial garden alone. When she came back, she seemed to have brought back a brocade bag. Later, when I was cleaning the room for the fourth lady, I found a jade pendant in the brocade bag, on which was engraved your maiden name."

Li Qingqian's eyes dimmed, and she looked a little contemptuous. "It seems like she is going to use a ruthless trick on me? My previous defense against her has come in handy. Cui'er, do you know what to do?"

Cui'er understood and nodded.

Li Qingqian winked at Yunchang, and Yunchang took out a small medicine bag and handed it to Cui'er.

Cui'er opened it and saw a small black pill.

"Girl, this is..."

"This is a poison that will give you a headache once a month. If you don't take the antidote for three consecutive months, you will die suddenly," Li Qingqian explained to her, "But don't worry, as long as you are loyal to me, I will have someone deliver the medicine to you on time every month. After taking the antidote for a year, the toxins in your body will be completely excreted."

Cui Er was not in a hurry to eat it, but looked at Li Qingqian, "Miss, are you worried that I will betray you?"

"Of course," Li Qingqian said without hesitation, "People's hearts are hard to predict. Now I have helped you and you are doing things for me. But today's medicine is the last one. If I am framed by Li Shuyue in the future and you are unwilling to reveal the matter, then I will be helpless, right?"

Cui Er smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for you, I would have been beaten to death by the fourth lady. You saved me from danger, gave me the antidote, and settled my family. How could I be unfaithful to you?"

She didn't hesitate any more, and even swallowed the pill without drinking any water.

"As long as I complete the tasks given by the girl, it will be fine. Besides, a headache once a month is much easier than being beaten and scolded every day."

Cui Er bowed to her again and said, "Please rest assured, young lady. Cui Er will not betray you."

Li Qingqian asked Yunyi to send the person away.

Yun Shang asked worriedly, "Miss, what if Cui Er tells others about our affairs after a year?"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Qingqian picked up the teacup on the table. "At most, I can replace her last antidote with poison in a year. She betrayed Li Shuyue and came to me on her own initiative, so I naturally have to be on guard, in case she betrays me one day."

She took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and added, "Wait a few years. If she doesn't plot against us, we'll find a way to get her out of Li Shuyue's hands. Then we'll change her identity, let her hide her real name, send her far away, and find a good family to marry her off."

Not long after, Yunyi came back with someone following him.

Yun Shang took a look and reminded Li Qingqian in a low voice: "Miss, this seems to be the aunt that Mr. Jiang brought from the countryside."

"Yes, I know. I was the one who asked Yunyi to bring her here."

How could Jiang Lin, a foreigner who had never been to the Li Mansion, easily find the location of the Jinyu Courtyard, and how could he know that Li Zhengkang and Liu were in the Jinyu Courtyard at that time.

It takes someone to give special guidance.

This person is Li Qingqian.

She calculated that Jiang Lin would come to Li Shuyue because of what happened last night, and ask Li Zhengkang and Liu not to cancel the engagement.

This was the reason why he did not return home last night. After Yunwu sent the person to the government office, he had been accompanying her secretly.

Before she went to Song Ningyan to discuss things last night, she had instructed Yunwu to go to the mansion and arrange for the servants in advance, so that if Young Master Jiang came, he should not be stopped.

And what Yunyi said about Yunchang going to serve in the old lady's courtyard was just Yunchang giving instructions to those people, and when Young Master Jiang came, she would directly take him to the Jinyu Courtyard.

Although he was in charge of the household, if we were to investigate, he would only be accused of "lax management", but he could not prove that she did it on purpose.

This would also allow the housekeeping power to be handed over to the grandmother. Although she didn't know that Liu was not willing to be the housekeeper now, she didn't want to cause trouble for her sister-in-law who would marry into the family in the future.

This would also save Meng Yanrong a lot of energy in fighting openly and secretly with the Liu family after she gets married. After all, in her previous life, her sister-in-law had to endure a long time to get the right to be the housekeeper.

But now it’s good. Grandmother is kind and likes Meng Yanrong very much, so she can marry in and become the mistress of the house, and she doesn’t have to suffer everywhere.

But when Li Qingqian left Jinyuyuan and was about to go out to visit the Spring Market, she ran into Aunt Jiang who was acting suspiciously outside the door.

After asking around, she found out that the other party was looking for Li Shuyue, so she kindly asked Yun Yan to show her the way and asked her to go to Jingyingju to talk after they finished chatting.

No, people are coming.

"This old servant greets the Third Young Lady." Aunt Jiang said, bowing her body.

Li Qingqian smiled and asked her to sit down. "Aunt Jiang, you don't have to be polite. You are the aunt of my future brother-in-law, so you are also a relative to me. There is no need to be so formal. Are you here today to see my fourth sister?"

Aunt Jiang nodded and said, "I heard that the fourth young lady was wronged by my son last night. I feel guilty, so I came to comfort the fourth young lady and apologize to her."

But Li Qingqian knew the other person's character very well.

This seemingly loving man actually treats Jiang Lin as a relic of his daughter who died early, and will never allow other women to have any contact with Jiang Lin.

In fact, she was unlucky. She raised Jiang Lin with all her heart, but in her previous life, just because Ling Ling was wronged by her, Jiang Lin ignored the grace of raising her for more than ten years and directly gave her a cup of poisoned wine.

She died in tears, but Jiang Lin hugged Ling Ling and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. No one will dare to let you suffer in my place."

Ridiculous.

But Li Qingqian didn't intend to help her.

In her previous life, she harmed herself, Jiang Lin harmed herself, Ling Ling harmed herself, and even Li Shuyue killed herself with her own hands. These people got together, and Li Qingqian wished she could add fuel to the fire and make the fight between them more fiercely.

This is what Li Qingqian is doing at this moment.

"Well, seeing how much you cherish my fourth sister, I, as her elder sister, feel relieved," she sighed softly, "My fourth sister is the youngest child in the family. My grandmother, my parents, and my brothers have loved her the most since she was a child. She is truly the apple of everyone's eye and has never suffered any grievances."

"However, such a ridiculous thing happened last night. My family and I were very angry and almost wanted to cancel the engagement. Fortunately, Auntie was willing to step forward and apologize on behalf of Mr. Jiang. Otherwise, I would never let Shu Yue marry him."

Aunt Jiang's eyes turned, "Yes, the youngest child in the family is always the most precious. She should be protected and pampered by everyone. Don't worry, young lady, the same applies to the fourth young lady when she marries into our Jiang family. Everyone will listen to her and will never offend her."

Under Li Qingqian's gaze, Yun Yi took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Aunt Jiang's hand, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang, for taking care of my Fourth Miss. As the Fourth Miss's elder sister, this is a thank-you gift specially prepared for you, please accept it, Aunt Jiang."

Aunt Jiang weighed the bag of silver and estimated that there were ten taels.

Ten taels of silver could support a family for a year in Bailian Town.

But now that they have come to the capital, these officials' daughters casually give out ten taels of silver. It's really...

Aunt Jiang's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure.

Li Qingqian saw it and asked Yunyi to send the person away.

"Miss, you will lose your front teeth if you brag," Yun Shang looked at her with amusement, "Fourth Miss has been bullying you since you were a child. If you can still get along with her, then the sun is rising from the west."

But Li Qingqian was not upset because of this. Aunt Jiang's daughter had always been a source of worry for her, and this worry gradually drove her crazy.

He probably appears to be trying to please Li Shuyue, but in his heart he actually despises her the most.

Her daughter died early, but in the future she had to face a man who was about the same age as her daughter but had a completely different family background, and who could even marry Jiang Lin, whom she had always expected to be her son-in-law. How could she let it go?
