She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

The third day of September is a good day for getting married.

In the general's mansion, there were wedding characters pasted inside and outside the room where Cuiyu lived.

At this time, the hairdresser had finished combing her makeup and stepped aside.

Bi Tao couldn't help but admire, "Cui Yu, you are so beautiful."

Cuiyu smiled shyly.

Li Jingwan nodded continuously, "It is indeed very beautiful."

As she spoke, she took out a golden hairpin and inserted it into her jade hair herself, "You will be even more beautiful if you wear this."

This gold hairpin was obviously priceless, so Cui Yu quickly refused it.

"Miss, you have prepared so much dowry for me, the golden hairpin is..."

"That's different." Li Jingwan interrupted her and said with a deliberately stern face, "You represent the face of my Lady Le Yi, how can you be careless?"

Cuiyu's eyes felt sore, but she tried to hold back the pain.

Li Jingwan personally arranged her marriage and prepared a dowry for her that was much richer than that of ordinary ladies.

Although they were master and servant, Li Jingwan never treated her as a servant and treated her like a sister.

She couldn't help but hold Li Jingwan's hand and said, "Miss, I can't bear to leave you. I want to go to the northwest with you."

"If you go with me, won't Xiang Zhuo hate me to death, or go to Yingtian Prefecture to sue me and kidnap his wife?"

"He doesn't dare." Cui Yu couldn't help laughing.

Bi Tao immediately said, "Miss, Cui Yu can't go, but I can go. I will stay with you until I get married."

Ever since she found out that Li Jingwan was going to the northwest without her, Bitao has been very depressed and keeps thinking about Li Jingwan agreeing to take her with her.

"Silly girl." Li Jingwan thought of the tragic death of Bi Tao in her previous life and forced a smile, "If you don't get married, you don't have to rely on me for the rest of your life. I don't want to listen to your nagging every day when I'm old."

She said seriously, "I'm going to the Northwest for something important. I have martial arts skills and Coach Zhu and the others are here, so nothing will happen. You stay in the mansion and take care of mother and Huirou for me, otherwise I won't be at ease when you go to the Northwest."

Bi Tao knew that Li Jing Wan had made up her mind, so she could only puff out her lips and say, "Okay. Don't worry, Miss. I will take good care of the Madam and the Second Miss."

As she was speaking, a maid outside the door reminded her, "Miss, the auspicious time has come. Miss Cuiyu should go out."

Although it was a maid's wedding, the general's mansion still gave it a grand ceremony.

Li Jingwan and Bitao, together, helped Cui Yu, who was covered with a veil, to the side door, where Yao and others were already waiting.

Xiang Zhuo was wearing wedding clothes and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

When he saw Li Jingwan, he hurried forward to greet her, and Li Jingwan put Cuiyu's hand in his.

"Xiang Zhuo, I'm handing Cuiyu over to you. From now on, you must support each other and love each other. Cuiyu is my sister, you must make her happy. If you dare to let her down or make her sad, I will be the first one to not forgive you."

Cui Yu, under the veil, was already shedding tears.

Li Jingwan has experienced so many things, but the only thing she thinks about is her own happiness.

Xiang Zhuo promised with a serious face, "Don't worry, Miss. I will treat Cuiyu well. I swear here that I will never take a concubine. Cuiyu is the only one in my life."

"Okay, remember what you said." Li Jingwan nodded with relief, "Hurry up and help Cuiyu get into the sedan chair."

As the wedding procession went away, Li Jingwan's eyes became moist.

The regrets of Cui Yu and Xiang Zhuo in the previous life were finally made up in this life.

She hopes Cuiyu can always enjoy the happiness that she could not get.

Cuiyu's dowry was quite large and formed a long line, attracting many common people to stop and watch and talk.

The wedding procession moved slowly, with the sounds of suona and gongs ringing non-stop, creating a very lively atmosphere.

In a mansion not far from the general's residence, Zhao Yunying, who was sitting in her bedroom, also heard the noise, interrupting her thoughts.

Just then, the maid Caiyue came in with some snacks, so she asked, "Caixia, what's going on outside?"

Caiyue put down the tray and said, "Madam, it's the maid from General Zhenyuan's mansion who is getting married."

"A maid's wedding has caused such a commotion?"

"I heard that it was the maid of General Zhenyuan's legitimate daughter, Li Jingwan, who was getting married. A lot of dowry was prepared for her, and the ceremony was quite grand."

Caiyue said this, feeling envious.

This maidservant behaved more respectably than any other young lady.

After she came to the capital, she heard people around her say that the general's mansion treated its servants very kindly, and it turned out to be true.

When Li Jingwan was mentioned, Zhao Yunying immediately thought of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and the panic that had just been suppressed in her heart rose again.

She immediately asked, "Where's Caixia? Is she back?"

"not yet."

"If she comes back, let her come to see me immediately."

"Yes." Caiyue nodded and went out with doubts.

Ever since arriving in the capital, she found that Zhao Yunying had been restless and seemed to be troubled.

I asked Caixia to go out and do some errands early this morning, and asked her several times whether she had returned.

What could be important?

After Caiyue left, Zhao Yunying picked up the book at hand, but couldn't read a single word.

She thought back to that incident from her childhood.

She was about five or six years old at that time and had already started to remember things.

One day, she woke up from a nap and found no one in the room, so she got out of bed and went out to look for Zhong.

As a result, she overheard the private discussions between two maids in the mansion.

"Isn't it said that daughters are most like their fathers? Why do the young lady and the master look nothing like father and daughter?"

"Yes, I've noticed it a long time ago. Look at the daughters born to the two concubines in the mansion. They are somewhat similar to the master. And the eldest daughter doesn't look like the lady. It's really rare to see a child who doesn't look like his parents at all."

She was very unhappy when she heard this and thought she was a wild child, so she ran to Mrs. Zhong to cry.

Zhong was furious and had the two maids beaten and driven out. She also ordered that anyone in the mansion who dared to gossip about them would be treated the same way.

Many years had passed since this happened and she had long forgotten about it.

but...

Zhao Yunying reached out and touched the birthmark through her clothes.

When I heard Chu Tingyu talk about the birthmark on Lin’s daughter that day, this forgotten incident suddenly came to my mind with great clarity.

She was born in the same year as Lin's daughter and has a birthmark on her body. Could it be...

Just as I was thinking about it, Caixia's voice came from outside the house, "Madam, I'm back."

Zhao Yunying was startled and quickly put down her hand, keeping her voice calm, "Come in."

Caixia pushed open the door, and Zhao Yunying found Caiyue outside, so she said, "Caiyue, Caixia and I have something to say, so watch out and don't let anyone else in."

"Yes." Caiyue nodded.

As soon as the door closed, Zhao Yunying immediately asked, "Did you find out?"

"Yeah." Caixia nodded.

"Madam, Lin lives in a small courtyard not far from our mansion. I heard that Li Jingwan chose this place for her. It is close to the general's mansion, and she even specially sent two maids from the general's mansion to take care of her."

"Ms. Lin usually stays at home and rarely interacts with people around her. Li Jingwan often visits her. However, Ms. Lin goes to Yongning Temple to worship Buddha almost every day, usually in the afternoon."

Caixia and Caiyue are both Zhao Yunying's personal maids, but Caixia is closer in age to Zhao Yunying, so the two spend more time together.

Moreover, Caixia is prudent and never talks too much. Zhao Yunying trusts her very much, so she asks her to check the situation of Lin's company.

After listening to this, an idea came to Zhao Yunying's mind.

Lin was so close to her, she wanted to go and see.

She was about to speak when she heard a voice outside the house. When she listened carefully, it was Song Qingyan.

"Go out now. I'll call you after dinner."

"Yes." Caixia then opened the door and Song Qingyan walked in immediately.

"Mother, what secrets are you and Aunt Caixia discussing? And you even asked Caiyue to guard the place and not let anyone in."

"Just some casual conversation." Zhao Yunying said something to get rid of the topic, and then asked, "It's almost time for dinner. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Mom, of course I miss you." Song Qingyan acted coquettishly and walked behind her to massage her shoulders.

"We live in the same mansion and you still miss me when you see me every day?" Zhao Yunying said with a smile, patting her hands. "You are being nice to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Song Qingyan smiled slyly and came closer to her, "Mom, we have been here for a few days and have settled down in the mansion. Can we invite my cousin to come to the mansion as a guest?"

The smile on Zhao Yunying's face faded a little, "Yan'er, Prince Jing is very busy, how can he have time to come?"

"It won't take much time to have a meal." Seeing that she didn't agree, Song Qingyan curled her lips and sat beside her, "Mom, I want to meet my cousin."

She looked for Chu Tingyu several times, but it was always the palace's steward who received her because Chu Tingyu was not available.

After thinking it over, she felt that if she asked her mother to send the invitation, Chu Tingyu would definitely not refuse.

It would definitely be better if we let my grandmother go, after all, she is of a higher generation.

But Zhao Yunying is the head of the household, and her grandmother is recovering from an illness. If she is troubled, others will say she is unfilial.

"Your cousin is a prince, so of course state affairs are more important." Zhao Yunying sighed in her heart. Why did her beloved daughter have to join the royal family?

It looked like everything was going well, but Song Qingyan had not considered or imagined the difficulties involved.

"Your grandmother has collected some invitations for you, and will be visiting other noble families in the next few days."

As soon as they arrived in the capital, the noble families quickly got the news and recently sent invitations to them one after another.

After all, Concubine Zhong is the most favored concubine, and she has a son like Chu Tingyu. Who wouldn't curry favor with her relatives?

"Mother..." Song Qingyan said dissatisfiedly, "Please go and ask my cousin, please..."

"Wait a few days." Zhao Yunying rubbed her temples. "I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I can't entertain guests properly."

Song Qingyan achieved her goal and smiled again, "Then I'll remind you in two days. Thank you, mother."

She was very proud of herself.

As long as she wants it, there is nothing she can't get.

-

The next morning, Zhao Yunying took Caixia out of the house.

Under Caixia's guidance, it took less than half a cup of tea before they arrived outside the courtyard where Lin lived.

Zhao Yunying's heart was beating very fast.

Because of this wall, Lin lived inside.

She thought about it for a long time yesterday and always wanted to come and see it, so she asked Caixia to bring her here early in the morning.

After standing for a while and looking at the closed gate, she suddenly felt that there was no point in her trip.

"Caixia, let's go..."

Halfway through his words, the gate suddenly opened from the inside.

Zhao Yunying stopped and involuntarily took two steps back, worried about being discovered.

A maid came out first, carrying a basket in her hand.

Next came an old woman, standing at the gate of the courtyard.

The first time she saw her, Zhao Yunying felt a strong sense of strangeness in her heart.

The old woman was dressed simply, with obvious sadness on her face. Judging from the way the maid treated her, she was Lin.

Caixia saw Zhao Yunying's face turn pale and asked worriedly, "Madam, are you okay?"

Zhao Yunying shook her head, but her voice was much weaker, "No...it's okay, let's go."

After saying this, Zhao Yunying turned around and walked away, walking faster and faster. Caixia hurriedly caught up with her.

However, as soon as she left, Song Qingyan came out from the side and looked ahead in confusion.

When Zhao Yunying went out in the morning, she discovered it by accident.

Zhao Yunying had just said yesterday that she was not feeling well, but she went out so early without even preparing a carriage.

She became suspicious, so she followed him out with her personal maid Lian Ye.

Looking at the master and servant who were talking in front of her, until the gate was closed again, Song Qingyan confirmed that she had never seen them before.

"Lian Ye, go ask." She raised her chin, "Who lives in there?"

At this time, more people were walking around. Lian Ye found a peddler who was selling things on the street with a load on his shoulder, bought a small item from him, asked a few questions, and came back soon.

"Miss, the lady living here is Mrs. Lin, the eldest wife of the Marquis of Wu'an."

"Lin?" Song Qingyan frowned, "Confirm?"

"Yes." Lian Ye nodded, "The vendor said he was very familiar with this place, and the whole capital knew about the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. The Lin family has moved here for some time."

Song Qingyan became even more confused.

Mother came out early in the morning just to take a look at Lin’s courtyard?

Could it be that she was curious about the affairs of Wu'an Marquis Mansion and came here specially to take a look?

This was unlike her usual character.

Song Qingyan couldn't figure it out, but she felt that the matter was unimportant. She still had to prepare to meet the young lady from the Duke of England's mansion later, so she put it out of her mind.

-

After lunch, everyone in the mansion felt drowsy.

Zhao Yunying has always had the habit of taking a nap, but at this moment she was standing by the window, feeling uneasy.

Her mind kept thinking about the conversation between the two maids when she was a child, the birthmark on her body, and Lin's face.

After pacing around the room several times, she finally picked up the hat.

After giving Caixia a few instructions, she quietly walked out the door alone.

Yongning Temple is a small temple built in the east of the city.

This area is where dignitaries live, and the temple is not very famous, so not many people go to the temple on weekdays.

In addition, the afternoon is the hottest time, so there are even fewer people in the temple.

Zhao Yunying was wearing a cap. As soon as she entered, she saw Lin kneeling in front of the Buddha, still wearing the same clothes she had worn in the morning.

There was also an old monk in the main hall, sitting behind a wooden table, dozing off with his head supported by one hand.

Zhao Yunying clenched her fists and then unclenched them, took two deep breaths, then walked over and knelt on the mat next to Lin.

She turned her head quietly and saw through the white gauze of her hat that Lin was closing her eyes, clasping her hands together, muttering something silently, looking very pious.

The old monk woke up from a nap and saw another pilgrim coming. He picked up the wooden stick and hit the bowl, the sound lingering and melodious.

Lin opened her eyes at this time, and Zhao Yunying quickly turned her head.

Lin prayed quietly.

"Buddha, please bless me to find my daughter as soon as possible and reunite with her. If we cannot be reunited, please bless my daughter to be safe and happy throughout her life."

After saying that, she kowtowed to the Buddha.

Zhao Yunying felt mixed emotions and quietly turned to look at her.

After bowing, Lin stood up and prepared to go to the incense room to copy the scriptures. Zhao Yunying hesitated and finally spoke.

"This lady."

Lin turned around, but couldn't see her face clearly through the hat, "Madam, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Yunying stood up and said, "Are you looking for your daughter? I have a solution."
