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

Yun Yi walked in with a smile and said, "Miss, Aunt An is here."

Hearing that An had arrived, Li Qingqian was also happy: "Then please invite Aunt An in to sit down."

"Why do you need the young lady to ask someone to invite me? I am so shameless that I came in by myself. I hope the young lady will not despise me." As her voice rang out, Aunt An's figure appeared in the main hall of Jingyingju.

Li Qingqian smiled and stood up, walked over to hold her arm, "Aunt, come and sit with me often, I'll be happy enough, how could I dislike you?"

After she helped An sit down, she realized that there were two women following behind them.

An introduced them to her: "Miss, you haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so you don't know these two. They are your father's concubines, just like me. The one on the left is your Aunt Lin, and the one on the right is your Aunt Fu."

The two concubines bowed to Li Qingqian and said, "I wish to greet the Third Young Lady."

Li Qingqian also nodded in return: "Hello, Aunt Lin, Hello, Aunt Fu."

After saying this, he asked the two aunts to sit down.

Li Qingqian observed that Aunt Lin always kept her head down and covered one side of her face with a strand of hair.

The other concubine, Fu, had a pale face, and it was obvious that she was not in good health.

An sighed and said, "In fact, you know something about the two of them. After that incident, Madam Lin stayed indoors. As for Madam Fu...after that incident, Madam Liu would always go to trouble her every now and then. Today, she would not give her food, and tomorrow, she would find fault with her and make her kneel in the snow for a whole day and a night."

Li Qingqian listened to these words with a serious expression, deep brows and a hint of anger.

In order to please Li Zhengkang and establish her own authority in the mansion, Liu brought several concubines into the house.

But later, when her position was consolidated, she became dissatisfied with the fact that her concubines were more favored than her, so she resorted to all means to harm them.

At that time, she asked for help from Aunt An, who had the longest seniority in the mansion. From her, the aborted child was most likely the result of Liu.

An once said that she was pregnant at the time and was extremely wary of the people around her, especially Liu.

But it happened that Li Zhengkang received the emperor's order to go to Yunzhou, the eldest son of the mansion was on the battlefield, the second son lived in the academy all year round, and the old lady was still sick.

I can only be more careful.

I often found that the servants were always acting sneaky, and later I learned that this was done intentionally by Liu.

When her spirit had been tortured for a long time and she was afraid of everything, Liu took advantage of her illness to kill her.

Then Liu had a reason to shirk responsibility and said that it was An who thought too much and that was why she failed to keep the child.

But after that incident, An was heartbroken and physically exhausted. Liu originally wanted to give her a fatal blow, but she luckily survived.

But since then, An's body could no longer bear children.

This was also clearly recorded in the confession forced out of Yu Luo's mouth at the time, and it was indeed Liu who did it.

These concubines were all good concubines brought in properly. If Li Zhengkang had not protected Liu for fear that this shameful matter would spread, Liu would have been imprisoned in the inner prison for her careless behavior towards human life.

Lin looked at Li Qingqian who was in deep thought, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Li Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at her, "Auntie Lin, do you have anything to tell me?"

Lin wiped the tears from her eyes, stepped forward and knelt in front of her, crying, "I have been wronged, please help me, Miss San."

"If you have a grievance, I will naturally stand up for you. Stand up and speak first." Li Qingqian helped the man up.

Lin spoke her mind, "In fact, when I entered the mansion, I was not alone. I had a younger sister with me."

There is also an Aunt Xiao Lin?

When An and Fu heard this, they both sobbed.

An stood up, walked to Li Qingqian, and said, "Young lady, please don't blame me for not telling you about this. It's just that what happened to Xiao Lin's sister was too tragic. I was afraid that you would be scared at your young age, so I didn't tell you about it."

But Li Qingqian lived a new life, and although her body was still fifteen years old, she could not be considered a real fifteen-year-old girl.

She shook her head gently and said to Lin: "Just tell me everything you know."

After hearing Lin's complaints, Li Qingqian gradually came to know the evil things Liu had done behind her back.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

*

In fact, Aunt Lin had evidence of what happened back then, but she protected Liu because Li Zhengkang needed the Liu family's money.

Even if Lin was in the yard and she was determined to speak up for her sister, she would not be allowed to leave the gate.

Later, Liu came to her courtyard and said to her condescendingly: "As long as you stop trying to uncover the truth about that bitch's death, I can make you a noble concubine in the mansion. As long as you are of one mind with me, I will not let you down."

Lin hated her so much at that time, how could she agree to this condition?

When Liu left the yard angrily, it meant that Lin had offended her.

As time went by, Li Zhengkang was moved by Lin's courage. Besides, she was naturally beautiful, so broken and yet so stubborn, so Li Zhengkang softened his heart.

When Liu heard that Li Zhengkang had stayed in Lin's yard for three consecutive days, she became upset, which led to her appearance being ruined.

Originally, Li Zhengkang was planning to settle the score and hold Liu accountable later, but when he saw Lin's ruined face, he was unwilling to say anything.

This matter will be settled.

Li Qingqian thought, even though Lin's appearance was disfigured, she could still induce Li Zhengkang to give up on her. If he knew that not only was the Liu family now penniless, but also that even the death of her biological mother was related to Liu, would Liu still be able to hold on to her current position as the mistress of the Li Mansion?

In the past, whenever Liu attacked the concubines in the mansion, she would give money to the servants to do it, but the servants had already been replaced by her.

Those people have nothing to do with the Li Mansion now, and they won't listen to Liu. As long as enough money is given, there is no need to worry about not finding out anything.

This was why Li Qingqian chose to send the people back quickly. Now that they were under the surveillance of their own people, it was impossible for them to make any small moves.

It's just so weird.

It's really strange.

So many things actually happened in the palace? I was totally unaware of it in my previous life.

Could it be that because he was sent to the countryside for three years in his previous life and became decadent after returning, these people think he is unreliable?

That shouldn't be the case. Didn't I become the prince's consort later? Isn't this enough power?

They should also know that she and Liu have been at odds for a long time, so why don't they come to her for help?

The strangest thing is that since I got married in my previous life, apart from contact with my two brothers, I seemed to have no contact with the Li family and my maternal grandfather’s Cheng family.

But she clearly remembered that she was originally going to find the Cheng family and discuss with her uncles how to get rid of Jiang Lin.

He even clearly laid out a detailed plan, but why was it not carried out smoothly, and instead he had to find a sorcerer from the Western Regions to poison Jiang Lin?

Western Region Wizard...

Yes, the sorcerer from the Western Regions might know something.

But since I was the queen in my previous life, it was easy to find her.

I no longer have that right in this life, so I have to go to Xiliang in person.

But for what reason?

Li Qingqian lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, and saw a jewelry shop.

Maybe I could open a jewelry store, and then use it as an excuse to follow the jewelry caravan to Xiliang.

Changminglou's business has been good recently and she has received a lot of dividends, so it is not difficult to accomplish this.

But Li Qingqian sighed, because he would be very busy in the future.

She has to be busy getting married, busy bringing down the Liu family, and go to Yunzhou to investigate. After that, she has to rush to Xiliang.

Li Qingqian turned her head and looked at Shen Changyun beside her. It was really hard for him to marry her. His wife was always away from home after she got married.

Wait, why is Shen Changyun here, staring at me with a depressed look on his face?

Li Qingqian looked around and finally found herself in a carriage. Then she remembered that today was the day she and Shen Changyun had agreed to go to the East Palace.

Shen Changyun stretched out his hand and covered her forehead, and asked with concern: "Qianqian, are you okay?"

She has been feeling uneasy since she left the house and I helped her get into the car. Could she be sick?

Li Qingqian reluctantly took his hand away and smiled slightly, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about the things in the mansion so absorbed that I didn't notice you."

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked Shen Changyun curiously, "Regarding the sudden bankruptcy of the Liu family, is it related to you and the prince?"
