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

"Wutou." Ding Sheng replied, "Half a month ago, we received a mission from the organization to go to Tacheng to assassinate Li Jingwan."

Chu Tingyu had heard of Wutou a long time ago. It was the most feared killer organization in the Sheng Dynasty in recent years.

As long as the buyer can afford the exorbitant fee, Wutou will take off anyone's head for him.

But Wutou had principles. He would not anger the royal family or the imperial court and would never assassinate officials. So even though this killer organization existed, the Sheng Dynasty did not put much effort into eliminating Wutou.

Chu Tingyu's face darkened. "Li Jingwan was personally appointed by the Emperor as the Princess of Leyi County. How dare you assassinate her?"

There was a flash of astonishment in Ding Sheng's eyes. He had obviously just learned about Li Jingwan's title. "Your Highness, I... I didn't know. We just accepted the mission and cannot shirk it."

Li Jingwan was low-key, so he didn’t know if it would make sense, but the person who assigned him the task must know.

Wutou still dared to take the task, which meant that the buyer offered a sky-high price, and because Li Jingwan had no royal blood, she had no scruples.

What a courage!

Ding Sheng felt Chu Tingyu's sudden rise in anger, and was terrified, so he didn't dare to speak.

Chu Tingyu asked again, "How can I find the buyer's information?"

"No..." Ding Sheng shook his head. "Unless the buyer wants to personally confirm that the other party has been killed and is willing to appear with the killer, the killer will never be able to contact the buyer."

Ding Sheng gave a detailed introduction, "There are strict requirements within Wutou, and the killers cannot have any contact with the buyers. Wutou has people who specialize in connecting with buyers, and after the task is determined, it will be randomly assigned to the elders of Wutou."

"There are a total of eighteen elders in Wutou. The elders who receive the task will randomly contact the killer to carry out the task, so as to ensure the absolute confidentiality of the buyer's information."

It does sound difficult, but Chu Tingyu did not show any difficulty. He asked again, "If it is your current situation, how can the buyer be sure that you have completed the task?"

"Some buyers will ask to take the head away, some will ask to take the token from the body of the murdered person, and some will just wait for news, because after a person is killed, news will come out soon."

"And the buyers usually know the person who was killed, so they have their own way of knowing."

Chu Tingyu asked, "So what request did you receive?"

"The last one." Ding Sheng replied, "The elder said that after the buyer asked to kill Princess Le Yi, we can just send a message back. There is no need to go back to the capital."

“When is the deadline?”

Ding Sheng remembered it clearly, "Five days later."

Chu Tingyu was silent for a while, then said, "Send a message back saying that your mission has been completed, but there is something important that must be reported in person."

Ding Sheng was unsure, "But there were a lot of people at the market that day, and Princess Le Yi..."

"Just do what I say." Chu Tingyu interrupted him. He knew the other party's concerns. "I will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Ding Sheng nodded, "It's up to the prince's orders."

Prince Jing's abilities are beyond the imagination of a small killer like him. Naturally, he has extraordinary means.

Before leaving, Chu Tingyu said, "Tell me the address of your family, and I will immediately arrange for someone to relocate them. Don't worry, since I promised you, I will never break my promise."

Ding Sheng had mixed feelings; moving his family away was both a protection and a threat.

It seems that he will definitely die if he returns to Beijing this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely act according to your request."

I hope that in his next life, he will no longer do such evil things.

Even if I die, I should die on the battlefield.

After leaving the dungeon, Chu Tingyu returned to his mansion in Tacheng.

This is where he stays every time he comes to Tacheng. It is very hidden and few people know about it.

He wrote a letter in his study and gave it to another personal guard, Han Feng.

"Han Feng, take this letter back to the capital today and hand it to Liu Yun in person. Ask him to follow the instructions and you will assist him in handling it."

Liu Yun, on the surface, was the deputy lieutenant of the infantry in the capital, an inconspicuous military officer.

In fact, he is one of Chu Tingyu's confidants cultivated over the years. When he is not in the capital, he has the right to mobilize the forces in the capital to do things.

"Yes."

As soon as Han Feng took the letter, Qi Ming walked in, "Your Majesty, an urgent letter from the capital."

Urgent letters are only sent when extremely urgent matters occur in the capital. Other non-urgent situations are summarized and transmitted every five days.

Before he left, he had instructed that in addition to major secrets involving the royal family and the court, urgent letters could also be sent if they were related to Lin's search for his daughter.

Chu Tingyu unfolded the urgent letter, and his originally calm expression changed, "Hanfeng, go out and wait first."

After Han Feng left, Chu Tingyu handed the urgent letter to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming quickly finished reading it and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Lin was killed?"

The urgent letter stated that Lin's body was found in a river outside Beijing. The result of the investigation by Yingtian Prefecture was that Lin was robbed on his way back to Beijing from Zhaoyun Temple. His belongings were taken away, and even his life was not saved.

The urgent letter also asked whether to continue investigating the whereabouts of Lin’s biological daughter.

At this time, Chu Tingyu suddenly asked, "Qi Ming, what do you think about this?"

Qi Ming didn't know whether he was referring to Lin's murder or to continuing to help her find her daughter, so he answered carefully.

"Your Highness, I think we should continue investigating. Princess Leyi said that Lin's greatest wish is to find her biological daughter, and the princess has also promised Lin."

Since Li Jingwan said that she must help Lin find her daughter, he would support her no matter what and would do his best to help.

Moreover, Lin reminded him of his own mother, who was willing to give everything for her child.

"Of course we have to investigate." Chu Tingyu didn't want to ask about this matter. "I promised the county lady that I can't stop even if Lin is gone."

And he knew that Li Jingwan would not give up either.

Chu Tingyu glanced at the letter on the desk, tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers twice, and suddenly whispered, "What a coincidence."

Qi Ming was puzzled but didn't ask.

"What a coincidence." Chu Tingyu repeated it again, this time taking the initiative to explain.

"The day when Lin was murdered happened to be when we arrived at Tacheng, and a few days later, Princess Leyi was hunted down."

"According to Ding Sheng's explanation, the people who wanted to kill Princess Le Yi had already made up their minds when we left the capital."

"These two time points are too coincidental."

The more Qi Ming listened, the more confused he became. "Your Majesty, do you think that the murder of Lin and the pursuit of Princess Le Yi are related?"

"On the surface, not at all." Chu Tingyu pointed at the letter paper, "But I think it's not as simple as it seems."

After thinking for a while, he let Han Feng in, "When you go to the capital, ask Liu Yun to verify whether the cause of Lin's death is really as investigated by Yingtian Prefecture."

"If this is true, Yingtian Prefecture must catch the perpetrator. If you have any doubts, report them immediately."

If these two things are really connected, then there must be a shocking secret hidden behind the scenes.

-

Outside Baijiazhuang, the two carriages returning to the city were already fully loaded.

Butler Bai reminded again, "Miss, you must take care of yourself when I am not at the manor. You have been bored for several days, you can take a walk outside the manor."

Bai Yiyi nodded, "I understand, Uncle Bai. Don't worry, I'm an adult now, nothing will happen to me."

Butler Bai looked at the gauze on the back of her left hand and shook his head. The eldest daughter was a filial child, but she just didn't care about herself.

He turned around and told Li Jingwan, "Xiao Wan, take good care of the young lady. If anything happens, I will transfer you to the fire department when I come back."

Li Jingwan pretended to be nervous and nodded repeatedly, "Butler Bai, I know."

"Uncle Bai, please don't scare Xiaowan." Bai Yiyi immediately defended the maid who ranked first in her heart.

"I only want her to be my personal maid. I don't want anyone else."

Butler Bai was just trying to scare Li Jingwan, he wouldn't really do that.

Bai Yiyi has indeed changed a lot since Xiaowan came.

Not only did he spend three days writing the longevity picture, but he also stopped losing his temper. His behavior and words revealed his interest in morality, and he was even friendly to the servants in the manor.

Butler Bai finally looked at the old woman next to Li Jingwan and said, "Mother Wu, please take care of the things on the farm."

Mother Wu is the manager of the village. She has been here for a long time and is familiar with the situation inside and outside the village. She is efficient in her work.

Mother Wu was a cheerful person. She laughed and said, "Butler Bai, you can go without any worries. I'm here."

Butler Bai's mouth twitched.

Li Jingwan heard the ambiguity in the words and couldn't help but smile. This Mrs. Wu's way of speaking was really...interesting.

After the two carriages drove away, Bai Yiyi couldn't hide her excitement.

"Xiao Wan, you said that once Butler Bai comes back, I can go back to Tacheng. Don't be kidding me."

"Of course it's true." Li Jingwan nodded and analyzed for her.

"Butler Bai didn't need to go back to Tacheng to deliver the things this time. He decided to go back temporarily because of the young lady's filial piety towards the old lady, so that he could tell the old lady in person about your changes."

Bai Yiyi's smile widened as she held her right wrist with her left hand. "It's no wonder I wrote the word 'longevity' for three consecutive days. I get scared whenever I mention this word now."

Li Jingwan smiled. Bai Yiyi looked like she had a bad temper, but she was actually very simple-minded and easy to coax.

After gaining confidence these days, she no longer had the aggressive look on her face that I had when I first met her, but now looked like a bright and beautiful girl in her prime.

This is what her deceased mother wanted to see most.

"Uncle Bai said he will be back in three days. Xiaowan, go pack my luggage now." Bai Yiyi couldn't wait any longer and was rubbing her hands together.

In the past few days, she told Li Jingwan about some things that happened in the Bai Mansion. Li Jingwan helped her analyze that it was Chen and Bai Lixuan who were behind it, and she fell into their trap. She was very angry when she heard it.

She was angry at these two bitches for harming her, and also angry at herself for being so stupid and falling into their trap.

But now that she has Li Jingwan by her side, she can't wait to go back, expose their conspiracy, and trample all those who have harmed her under her feet!

"Forget it, I won't clean it up." Bai Yiyi changed her mind again.

"I didn't bring anything with me in the first place, so I don't need these. I'll buy some more when I get back. I also don't need the things that Bai Lixuan touched. I'll buy all of them again."

She now trusts and relies on Li Jingwan, and can't help but want to tell her some secrets.

"Xiao Wan, before my mother passed away, she left me some things in the bank. She only told me. They thought they had taken all my things, so I looked down on them. When we go back, I will take you..."

"Miss, be careful with your words." Li Jingwan interrupted her, "Since the lady left it for you alone, don't tell anyone. Just keep it to yourself."

Bai Yiyi felt a little aggrieved, and Li Jingwan continued, "I know that the young lady told me this because she trusts me, but this is something that the lady left for you alone. She left it as an extra guarantee for you."

"Then don't disappoint Madam's expectations of you. Don't tell anyone about this."

"No one can?" Bai Yiyi asked with blinking eyes.

"Yes." Li Jingwan nodded, "Including your future husband and even your future children."

She has a deep understanding of this because human hearts are unpredictable.

"Okay, I understand." Bai Yiyi's temper calmed down a lot, and she was willing to listen to reason. "You're right. My mother said that I can't tell anyone. I should listen to her."

Li Jingwan was worried that she would feel sad thinking about her mother, so she changed the subject.

"Miss, you don't have much luggage, so it's a little early to pack now. Butler Bai will be back in a few days, so I suggest that you prepare some gifts for the old lady's birthday banquet in the next few days."

"Do we still need to prepare? Didn't we just finish writing the Longevity Picture?" Bai Yiyi frowned and felt a dull pain in her right wrist.

"Miss, it's the icing on the cake." Li Jingwan smiled and said, "You gave the longevity painting, and the old lady must be very happy. If you also give her a gift prepared from the manor, the old lady will naturally be even happier."

Bai Yiyi listened to her and asked, "What do you want to give as a gift?"

Li Jingwan had already thought about it, "Black wolfberry."

When she was in Tacheng, she discovered that wolfberries were produced in abundance in the northwest, and she had already figured out how to go to remote areas to purchase black wolfberries in order to find out about her brother.

So when she thought about preparing a gift yesterday, she immediately thought of black wolfberry.

Just then, a tenant came to deliver something, saying that they did have black wolfberries, but they were all wild.

They basically grow on the back hill, so you have to find them yourself.

"Black wolfberry is of high value. It can nourish the kidneys and lungs, and it can also nourish the liver and improve eyesight. It is just right to give it to the old lady. Although it is simple for the old lady to want black wolfberry, if it is prepared by you personally, wouldn't it be more precious?"

Bai Yiyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, then we'll go pick the black wolfberries ourselves."

She lowered her voice and said, "I'll pick them myself. Uncle Bai will tell Grandma when he finds out, right?"

Li Jingwan smiled and nodded, "Miss is really smart."

He is still teachable.

Although the two of them went to pick black wolfberries themselves, they needed someone to lead the way, otherwise they wouldn't even know which way to get to the back mountain.

Li Jingwan then found Mother Wu and said that Bai Yiyi wanted to pick black wolfberries as a birthday gift for the old lady, and they needed someone who was familiar with the back mountain to take them there, preferably someone who was nimble.

After hearing this, Mother Wu thought of someone.

"Ahan, the son of the cattle tenant, is just the right person. He often goes to the back hill to collect herbs. He is a very fast runner. But he is not very smart and doesn't like to talk. You can't get a word out of him even if you hit him with a stick."

Li Jingwan didn't mind, "Mother Wu, as long as you can do good things, don't force him if he doesn't want to talk."

"That's no problem. He's quite reliable." Mother Wu then said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go to the cow tenant's house and tell him to bring Ah Han here."
