The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

The next day, the news that Xiao Jue had his tongue cut and the tendons of his hands and feet severed quickly spread throughout the entire Yanjing City.

There was also chaos in the home of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.

Not only did the Secretary of the Central Secretariat abolish a concubine's son, but the old lady in the Secretary's family also beat the concubine with a stick and locked her up in the backyard.

The family of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat turned a blind eye to Xiao Jue's private behavior, but they didn't expect that they would run into a problem this time.

He has cheated on many girls and done many improper things, and it can be said that his evil deeds have been punished.

When the person was carried into the mansion, the assistant minister's concubine was crying breathlessly.

But a concubine is still a concubine after all, and the son she gives birth to can only be a bastard's son.

In Yanjing City, the status of legitimate and illegitimate children is very different. If a illegitimate child wants to be respected in Yanjing City and pass the examination to be promoted to a noble title, the chance is very slim.

To the extent that some illegitimate sons wanted to secretly find a way for themselves to marry the daughter of a prominent family, so that the children born might be able to turn their lives around.

Seeing that his plan had failed again, Lin was so angry that he smashed everything on the table.

In Lanyue Courtyard, when Shen Mi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

The fragments about Murong Che's questioning were vague. She only remembered that Murong Che played tricks on her and tricked her into drinking.

As for whether Murong Che had done anything wrong, she couldn't remember.

She got up from the bed and looked at Qinghe who was holding the water.

"You all know what happened yesterday?"

Qinghe nodded, put the water on the ground, and prepared to wash her.

"Miss, we won't tell, don't worry."

Shen Mi chuckled and looked back at her for a moment, "I know you won't tell anyone, and besides, I have nothing to do with Murong Che."

"Go out and close the door, and let Yunlan come in to see me later."

"Tomorrow is Shen Shu's coming-of-age ceremony, so Ye Shiqing needs to act quickly."

Qing He nodded, "Okay Miss."

After washing up, Qinghe closed the door tightly, and Shen Mi took off her clothes. After checking carefully, she felt relieved when she found no traces on her body.

After noon, Yun Lan came to Shen Mi's room.

Shen Mi sat on the chair, poured her a cup of tea and pushed her closer.

"Tomorrow is Shen Shu's coming-of-age ceremony. Bring a few men in black tonight and let Ye Shiqing perform the final scene."

"After this scene is over, prepare a carriage for Ye Shiqing to go back to Mingyang City and ask him to go to Mingyang City to pick up his sister."

"Tonight, find a way to get Li Niang to Yanjing City."

Yun Lan stood up and was about to go out when Shen Mi stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

Yun Lan froze in her tracks, and when she turned around she saw Shen Mi frowning slightly.

"Miss, are you worried about something?"

Shen Mi stood up, took out a bracelet from the cabinet and handed it to Yun Lan.

The bracelet is light blue and carved with peony flowers. The outside of the bracelet is attached with South China Sea jade beads and is hollow in the middle.

This bracelet was a gift given to Shen Mi by Jiang Shi before she died when she was six years old.

In her previous life, because she had just returned to Yanjing City, she didn't have much money to choose a good gift for Shen Shu as a coming-of-age gift.

She gave Shen Shu the thing her mother gave her.

But because of this, this bracelet became Shen Shu's nightmare at her coming-of-age ceremony.

In the previous life, after Shen Shu got this bracelet, she pretended to drop it on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the bracelet contained a deadly poison.

This made Pingyang Hou so angry that he scolded her for being vicious in front of the guests. After the guests left, he beat her until she was covered with bruises and threw her into the backyard, where he locked her up for several days and nights.

Now it seems that I will probably repeat the same old tricks in this life as I did in the previous one.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi handed the bracelet to Yun Lan and said calmly: "This bracelet should be made by the North and South shops in Yanjing. I remember that there are some people in the North and South who cast this kind of bracelet and can imitate it exactly."

"Take it and find a craftsman to make you a bracelet exactly like this one."

"My mother gave me this bracelet with twelve jades in total. You asked the master to only put eleven on it when casting the jade."

Yun Lan held the exquisite bracelet in her hand, feeling reluctant to part with it.

"Miss, this is what the late Madam left for you. Do you want to give it to Miss Three as well?"

Shen Mi shook her head: "Of course not, this bracelet will eventually return to my hands, don't worry."

"Yes, Miss." Yun Lan put the bracelet in her arms and turned to leave the room.

At this moment, in the Huaiyang City Inn.

Ye Shiqing lay dying on the bed, looking up at Li Niang.

His eyes were gentle, but his breath was very weak.

He stretched out his slender fingers and weakly held Li Niang's hand, saying weakly: "I don't know what's going on. The doctor said that drinking Kuilin's medicine will make you better."

"But these past few days, I found that I was more energetic only in the first two days, but I have been feeling more and more tired in the past few days."

"Li Niang, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble by asking you to use the money to buy medicine for me."

"Don't worry, I will return the money to you double when I recover."

Li Niang's eyes were red, and she picked up the spoon and fed him the medicine.

"Zhou Lang, don't be like this, you are just trying to save me."

Ye Shiqing's lips were still pale, and his breath was weaker than before, which made Li Niang feel uneasy.

Her eyelids twitched, and she picked up the handkerchief in her hand and wiped away the medicine that had overflowed from Ye Shiqing's lips.

"The doctor said that the medicine Kuilin can cure you, but why is it only effective for the first two days?"

"And this medicine is so expensive, how could it be ineffective?"

"Mr. Zhou, weren't you feeling better the past two days? Why are you feeling worse these days?"

Ye Shiqing gasped for breath: "I don't know what happened. My health has been getting worse these days."

"Li Niang, Madam Shen's assassin has already chased us to Huaiyang City. Perhaps we have been exposed. We must leave Huaiyang City as soon as possible."

"When I was in Yanjing, I heard that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the third young lady of the Shen family."

"This kind of coming-of-age ceremony for girls from aristocratic families will be attended by many people. If you have evidence, you may be able to redress the injustice for your brother."

"It's just that I'm not in good health now, and I'll be a burden to you after all."

Li Niang was silent for a while, put down the bowl of medicine in her hand, and turned to look at Ye Shiqing.

"Mr. Zhou, drink the medicine first. If it doesn't work today, I'll go find the doctor tomorrow morning."

"You must be alright, you are my only one."

She pursed her lips and said, "Mrs. Shen wanted to use me to defraud the ex-wife's dowry. She was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she hunted me down."

Seeing that Li Niang was sad, Ye Shiqing reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes: "It doesn't matter, we will leave Huaiyang tomorrow..."

"When I recover from my illness, I will take you back to Xiangyang to get married."

"As long as you have evidence, I will take you back to Yanjing City to avenge your dead brother."

Li Niang was deeply moved when she saw Ye Shiqing, who was already seriously ill and still worried about her.

Under the candlelight, she gently wiped Ye Shiqing's body, blew out the candle, and lay down beside Ye Shiqing.

In the middle of the night, it started to drizzle outside the window. A cool breeze blew in from the window, and the chill spread to the bed.

Ye Shiqing lying on the bed couldn't help coughing a few times. Li Niang felt sorry for him, so she got up and walked to the window, preparing to close it.

In the dark night, there was the rustling sound of drizzling rain. She stretched out her hand, and the raindrops fell on her wrist, freezing cold.

She took a deep breath and closed the window. In an instant, a black figure flashed past her.

"what!"

Li Niang screamed in fright.

Before she could react, a sharp long knife suddenly chopped down, cutting her arm and causing it to bleed profusely.

"Li Niang, Li Niang..."
