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

At the hour of Mao on the second day, the car coming from the palace to pick up Li Qingqian arrived at the gate of Li's mansion.

Because it was a royal grace, everyone in the mansion got up early and saw Li Qingqian off at the gate of the Li mansion at dawn.

Li Zhengkang looked at her, and his eyes rarely showed the true love of a father who cares for his children.

"The palace rules are strict. Even though you have to rely on the love of His Majesty and His Majesty to enter the palace to wait for marriage, you must not break the rules. After entering the palace, you must wait quietly for your marriage and not cause any trouble."

Faced with his sincere attitude, Li Qingqian would not contradict him.

She bowed slightly, with a sincere smile on her face, "Thank you for your advice, father. I'll take note of it."

The old lady smiled with tears in her eyes and tucked her clothes.

"Your Majesty and the Queen are both kind people. You must not lose your dignity when you meet them. You must show the demeanor of a lady from a noble family."

"Granddaughter has made note of this, grandma, please rest assured."

Liu and Li Shuyue hated her so much that they would never say anything to her, and Li Qingqian didn't care about their opinions.

It was almost time, so Li Xi personally helped Li Qingqian into the carriage.

Seeing the carriage going further and further away, Liu decided to take Li Shuyue back to Jinyuyuan to continue keeping her there. After all, sending Li Qingqian away was one thing, but the confinement of the mother and daughter had not been lifted yet.

"That little bitch finally left the house."

As soon as he turned around, Li Shuyue whispered to Liu.

"Humph, your father is really biased. Seeing that Li Qingqian had entered the palace to get married, and you had already lost Shuangyueju, why didn't he vacate her Jingyingju so that you could live there and wait for your marriage?"

Ever since Li Qingqian returned to the Li Mansion and made an engagement with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she could clearly feel that many people in this mansion began to favor Li Qingqian.

Needless to say, Li Zhengkang has always been profit-driven. Seeing that Li Qingqian was about to climb up the royal family, he naturally changed his attitude towards her.

But what made her even more upset was the old lady!

He always says that he treats everyone equally, but doesn't he prefer Li Qingqian, the one who lost her mother?

Before she returned to Beijing, the old lady was so kind to Shu Yue that even when she tasted some delicious snacks, she would remember to send a portion to Shu Yue.

But ever since Li Qingqian returned to the Li Mansion, the old lady has been talking about her all the time, and she is not as attentive to Shu Yue as before.

Liu didn't believe the rhetoric that "Li Qingqian was raised by the old lady, so naturally she is closer to her". It was obvious that the old lady had some complaints about her, and she was also dissatisfied with Shu Yue.

Before Li Qingqian became the housekeeper, Liu had sent her men to take a look, and found that Jingyingju now lived up to its name.

All the furniture and ornaments are made of Li Qingqian's favorite huanghuali wood. Some are even made of mutton-fat jade or snow-heart jade glass, and are inlaid with gold edges. They look transparent but not cold and precious.

What made her even more angry was that in the middle of the courtyard of Jingyingju, there was planted a hibiscus tree that was Li Qingqian’s biological mother’s favorite during her lifetime. It was a famous species shipped from Shuchuan, and it looked even more beautiful when planted in Jingyingju.

Liu didn't understand. Since Li Qingqian didn't need Jingyingju to get married, and Li Zhengkang was unwilling to return Shuangyueju to Shuyue, why didn't he give Jingyingju to Shuyue?

Although Li Shuyue had been eyeing Jingyingju ever since she lost Shuangyueju, after her mother said this, she became furious as if her thoughts had been exposed.

So she pouted and said angrily, "I don't want her Jingying Residence. Why should I move into a place where an unlucky thing whose biological mother died lives?"

Liu stopped and shot a look at Li Shuyue like a knife.

Li Shuyue also stopped and looked at her in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Liu's eyes flickered a little, and she said to Yulian and Cui'er behind her: "You two go down first, I have something to discuss with the fourth lady."

Li Shuyue looked at Liu in confusion as she pulled her towards Jinyuyuan. She tried to break free with some dissatisfaction, but failed.

"Mother, could you please not pull me like this every time..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu pulled him into the house and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Cui Er said to Yu Lian with a guilty look on her face: "Sister Yu Lian, I don't think there is anything I can do to help in Jinyuyuan. How about you make an exception and let me go out for a walk?"

Yu Lian glanced at her suspiciously, "Even maids in the mansion need Madam's consent to go out, how can I let you go?"

Besides, even though Liu closed the door, it was only because she wanted to talk to the fourth young lady. It doesn't mean that she doesn't need anyone to serve her.

What if they need to hire someone and they come out to find Cui'er is missing? Wouldn't they then vent their anger on me?

Cui Er smiled and said, "Sister, are you confused? The housekeeper now is not the Madam, but the old lady. If I ask for leave from the old lady, will the Madam still argue with the old lady for such a small matter?"

The Madam and the Fourth Miss are under house arrest. Even if they are resentful, they dare not show it at this time.

Yu Lian still had a somewhat conflicted look on her face. It was not like she didn't know what kind of people Liu and Li Shuyue were.

Originally, there was a woman named Yu Luo before her. Although she also served Liu at that time, it was always Yu Luo who made more decisions and was more pleasing to Liu.

Now that it was her turn to make her own decision, apart from being a little worried, it would be a lie to say she was not happy.

Seeing that the other party was already a little shaken, Cui'er took out a fine jade bracelet from her sleeve and put it in her hand.

"Since I asked you to protect me, I naturally don't want to take advantage of you. Please accept this jade bracelet as my thank you gift."

Yu Lian took the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully, then she said, "Okay, I'll tell my wife later that the old lady has sent someone to ask you something. But I can only give you two hours at most. If you are late for a little while, you will have to bear the consequences yourself, and you can't take the jade bracelet back."

Cui Er smiled happily and bowed quickly, "Hey, thank you very much, sister."

But after leaving Jinyuyuan, the smile on her face immediately disappeared and she walked quickly towards the gate of Li Mansion.

She took out the jade token that Li Qingqian had prepared for her in the morning and gave it to the gatekeeper. "Before she left, the Third Miss told me to remember to buy more delicious and fun things to please the Fourth Miss. I'm going to the Spring Market this time."

The servants usually serve in the outer courtyard and are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so they are not very clear about the relationships between the girls in the mansion.

However, they did hear about the incident in the past two days when Young Master Jiang came to the mansion to cause trouble and the Third Miss took revenge on the Fourth Miss.

Although it is not known why the third girl, who had been bullied by the fourth girl since childhood, would be so nice to her, the third girl seemed to have said something about taking the fourth girl out to visit the Spring Market.

Unfortunately, the third lady is going to the palace to get married, so she doesn't have the time to take the fourth lady out. I guess he had given instructions to Cui'er, who is by the fourth lady's side, early in the morning.

That's right. Now that the fourth young lady is about to get married, she is under house arrest by the master, and she and the lady are under house arrest together.

If I don't get her something rare to please her, she will probably take it out on the people around her.

When the gatekeeper thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Cui'er, so after quickly looking at the jade token, he let her go.

Cui'er didn't expect that going out would be so easy. The moment she left the house, she put the jade token safely in her arms.

The Third Miss was right. With so many things happening in the mansion now, it was inevitable that the servants would be a little careless. That's why the gatekeeper didn't even realize that the jade token was fake.

The third young lady was going to the palace this time and would not be able to return home until three days after her wedding, so she took some important things with her.

Of course, it is impossible to leave such obvious evidence as the real jade token in the mansion. If Cui'er is not accepted as a concubine by Jiang Lin by then, how to explain the jade token?

Cui'er hired a carriage, told the coachman the address, and then sat in the carriage anxiously.

The third lady told herself that Mr. Jiang would move out of the house that the fourth lady had arranged for him today, and he must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

I guess the most urgent thing is to solve the accommodation problem first?

As long as I take advantage of this opportunity to give him some money and propose that he make me his concubine, Mr. Jiang will have to agree even if he doesn't want to.

When they arrived at the western suburbs, Cui'er got off the car, paid the money, and walked towards the alley that Yunyi had told her about before.

Soon they found a house. Jiang Lin was standing outside the house, discussing with a leader who looked like a moving team: "My mother and I don't have a lot of stuff, can't we get it cheaper?"

The boss's face was filled with impatience. He pointed at the dozens of boxes and said, "You call this not much? Sir, eight taels of silver is already the lowest price we want. We really can't go any lower."

Jiang Lin looked embarrassed. It was not that he couldn't come up with the eight taels of silver. It was just what was left over from Li Qingqian's money.

But if I take out this money, my aunt and I will really have nowhere to go tonight.
