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

*

In a small alley in the western suburbs, in a quiet and elegant house.

Jiang Lin was sitting in the pavilion in the yard, with empty wine jugs in front of him. He was holding a jug with half a jug of wine left in his hand and pouring it into his mouth.

As soon as Aunt Jiang came back, she saw this scene and hurried forward, anxiously stopping him.

"Why are you drinking again? And drinking so much? Be careful not to hurt yourself!"

Jiang Lin waved his hand: "Aunt, please don't stop me. Let me drink to relieve my sorrow."

Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "Is it about Ling Ling?"

His eyes were immediately covered with a layer of darkness, which seemed longer than the endless night.

"The government officials said that they will keep Lingling in custody until tomorrow morning. After tomorrow morning, they will send her out of the capital, probably back to Bailian Town. But she probably won't be able to return to the capital for a long time."

He didn't notice that the corners of Aunt Jiang's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and the joy in her eyes was about to burst out.

It’s good that he can’t go back to the capital. It would be best if A Lin would stop thinking about that woman forever during this period.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still had to comfort Jiang Lin: "Don't be too sad. Bailian Town is her hometown. She lives there with parents who love her. She will be happier there than in the capital."

Jiang Lin looked at the empty wine jug and nodded: "Yes, after coming to the capital, she seems to be always being wronged."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly became cold.

It’s all because of Li Shuyue!

If she hadn't framed him, how could he have fallen into the water? Later, he had no choice but to make a marriage contract with her.

Who knew that the other party was just treating him as a plaything and could play with him as he pleased with just some money.

Letting Lingling be a concubine was already an injustice to her, but Li Shuyue wouldn't even allow this, and was even wiping out her only hope that Lingling and she could be together openly!

Just wait and see, I will definitely shine in the imperial examination in March. After I become successful in the future, the first thing I will do is to divorce Li Shuyue!

"Okay, okay, don't worry too much. It's not necessarily all bad. Look, what is this?"

Aunt Jiang took out the bag of silver and placed it in front of Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin weighed it for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Ten taels? Did Li Shuyue give it to you?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Jiang felt angry.

Today, I went to the courtyard of the mother and daughter. First, I was severely humiliated by the mistress of the Li family. Then I tried to persuade Li Shuyue until my lips were worn out. Li Shuyue didn't know what reward to give me.

"How could she be so kind? If I hadn't persuaded her today, she would have probably been ready to break off the engagement with you. This was given to her by her elder sister, Miss Li San."

Three girls?

Jiang Lin suddenly remembered that Lingling had repeatedly told him to stay away from the third girl because she had feelings for him.

He didn't believe it at the time. Didn't the Third Miss already have Master Shen? How could she still like him?

I didn’t expect it to be true now. The third girl actually likes not Master Shen, but... him?

And the previous quarrels and disputes between him and Lingling were all because he was jealous of Lingling because he liked her?

Jiang Lin suddenly felt that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Miss Li San is much better than Li Shuyue. Not only is she the eldest daughter in the family, but she is also as beautiful as a fairy. Most importantly, it is said that her maternal grandfather's family was also extremely prominent before it declined.

No matter how you look at it, she is much better than Li Shuyue.

Jiang Lin had even begun to imagine that on his wedding day next month, the person he would marry was not Li Shuyue, but Li Qingqian.

Aunt Jiang snorted coldly, "She gave it to me. Not only did she give me money, she also ridiculed me."

"Ridicule?" Jiang Lin frowned. Doesn't Li Qingqian like him? Why would she ridicule Auntie?

Aunt Jiang's eyes became even more fierce, and her tone became a little sarcastic.

"She said that her fourth sister is the youngest child in the family and the treasure of the whole family. She asked us to be more considerate and not bully her!"

Jiang Lin was in deep thought. Judging from their performance last night, the two sisters did not seem to be as loving as they seemed.

This must be the third girl's excuse. She must know that she cannot show her feelings for him openly, so she hides it like this.

Jiang Lin smiled contemptuously, it is true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

I used to think that this third girl was so cold and arrogant, but it turns out that she is so reckless in private. She is still obsessed with herself even after having Master Shen.

He took the purse and was about to go out.

Aunt Jiang stopped him in confusion: "Where are you going so late?"

"I'll go give this money to Lingling. It will cost her a lot of money to go back."

Aunt Jiang looked at him as if he were a fool, "Have you become stupid from studying? I was going to save all this money for you!"

"But Lingling really needs this money now, I..." I can't just sit there and do nothing.

"But think about it, who needs the money more, you or her?" Aunt Jiang said angrily, "You want to study, isn't it more expensive in the capital than in Bailian Town? Not to mention that the Li family wants you to return the house and the money now."

Now there are only two of them in the house. After he came back today, the servants in the house were sent back to Li Mansion.

According to his intention, within these three days, one day was to return the slaves, two days was to return the house, and three days was to return the money.

But of these three, only the first one is something he can afford now.

No matter where you live in the capital, it will cost a lot of money.

In fact, Li Shuyue has been trying to find a way to give money to Jiang Lin since she returned to Beijing. If you count carefully, it would be at least a hundred taels of silver.

These ten taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing that he was stubborn and refused to put down the purse, Aunt Jiang covered her chest and said, "My illness is also a burden. I know that I am old and A Lin despises me. How about this, Ling Ling and I will go back to Bailian Town tomorrow and never come to Beijing to disturb your good life again."

When Jiang Lin heard this, he hurriedly helped Aunt Jiang to sit down.

"Aunt, that's not what I meant. You raised me up, and in my heart you are no different from my own mother. How could I dislike you?"

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll send two taels of silver, which will at least allow Lingling to return to Bailian Town safely. The rest of the money will be used to solve our accommodation problem first. As for paying back the money to the Li family... I'll slowly think of a way."

Only then did Aunt Jiang relax, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she nodded.

Jiang Lin was in a dilemma: How could he pay back the money to the Li family?

By the way, isn’t Miss Li San fond of me? As long as I go to her tomorrow to ask for her favor, she is so generous that she will probably waive the money.

"A-choo, A-choo." Li Qingqian sneezed twice for no reason.

Who is scolding her behind her back?

He cursed so dirty.

The Crown Princess asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is it too cold in this room and you caught a cold? How about I ask someone to turn on the floor heating more vigorously?"

Li Qingqian blushed and waved her hands, "It's okay, I was rude, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Sister Yunhan."

The Crown Princess pushed the milk cake in front of her towards her and joked with a smile: "Cousin Changyun followed my prince to see His Majesty and specifically asked me to take good care of you. If you get sick here, won't he be angry with me?"

Li Qingqian laughed out of embarrassment, "Don't worry, sister. With me here, he won't dare to get angry with you."

The Crown Princess laughed even more happily after smelling the gossip. "Oh, you are quite good at controlling your husband. I heard from my fifth...seventh brother about you before. He said that although you are often with your cousin Chang Yun, you don't seem to be very willing to pay attention to him."

Thinking back to when I was young and stayed with Shen Changyun, I didn’t know what I felt towards him at that time, I just felt that I was always happier when I was with him.

But she was used to being cautious at that time and would not reveal her thoughts easily, so she seemed a little cold towards Shen Changyun.

"It was a little bit before, but after I returned to Beijing, he has been very nice to me. As we get along better, I can face my inner self." Li Qingqian's cheeks became even redder.

The Crown Princess looked at her shy expression and said meaningfully, "This is a good thing. At least you know what kind of person your husband is. If you find out that you were schemed against after marriage, you will inevitably feel resentful."

"Sister, are you talking about... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Qingqian asked curiously.

The Crown Princess turned her head away somewhat unnaturally, not intending to answer her question.

Li Qingqian became even more curious about the love and hatred between the prince and his wife.

According to the memories of his previous life, the Crown Prince treated the Crown Princess like a treasure. Everyone in the capital knew that he loved her.

Why does it seem that the Crown Princess is quite resentful towards the Crown Prince now?

Besides gossip, Li Qingqian also had to mention an important matter.

"Crown Princess, I have a favor to ask. I will marry Chang Yun in less than half a month. Please stop nagging me, Seventh Prince."

This was the second time she heard the Seventh Prince mention her in just half a month since the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

She had been feeling that Shen Changyun was a little uneasy during this period. Although she didn't know where his uneasiness came from, she was willing to do her best to comfort him.
