She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 142: What a Love, Let's Make a Deal
Even though Qin Chongxiao was wearing a mask, Li Jingwan could still feel his anger.
Qin Zhongxiao calmed down his emotions before continuing, "But this person is hiding very deeply, and in recent years, there have only been some conflicts and frictions between Xirong and Sheng Dynasty, but no war has occurred. I haven't found any clues yet."
"Don't worry, as long as our guess is correct, we will find it eventually." Chu Tingyu said, "And within two months, Xirong and our dynasty will go to war."
Qin Chongxiao nodded, he knew it better in Xirong.
"Yeqilu has been very active recently. Last time, he won over the leaders of several large tribes and asked them to send troops to gather at the border of Sheng Dynasty."
"Wushilie opposed the war several times in the court, but was suppressed by Yeqilu's faction. The King of Xirong now listens to Yeqilu's words more."
Li Jingwan was a little confused, "Brother Qin, doesn't Wu Shilie want to fight? Wasn't he the one commanding the battle three years ago?"
"It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but he wants to go against Yeqilu."
Qin Chongxiao replied, "He is worried that after Ye Qilu wins the battle, his power will be further strengthened and he will no longer be able to compete with him, or he will use the war to gain control of the military. Wu Shilie looks careless, but he is actually very careful and always puts his own interests first in everything he does."
"He fought a war three years ago to increase his authority in the imperial court. If he could accomplish his goal without fighting, he would have chosen to stop the war. He is very smart."
Qin Chongxiao's eyes were filled with deep worry, "Wu Shilie can't persuade the king, this war is inevitable."
"We must fight this battle." Chu Tingyu suddenly said, "First, the Sheng Dynasty wants to show its strength and strike at the Western Rong, so that they dare not act rashly again. Second, after Yeqilu is defeated, Wushilie can use this opportunity to launch an attack."
"I am narrow-minded." Qin Chongxiao nodded in agreement, "Your Highness is more far-sighted and thoughtful."
After talking about Qin Chongxiao, the topic returned to Li Dingzheng.
Li Jingwan introduced Li Dingzheng's current treatment situation, and Qin Chongxiao was very moved after listening.
"Fortunately, Ding Zheng is still alive. I hope he can recover his memory as soon as possible and recognize me by then."
"Yes, Brother Qin." Li Jingwan was confident.
Naturally, they talked about Wu'an Marquis Mansion next. Li Jingwan talked about what happened in the mansion after Qin Chongxiao left, as well as the ending of everyone in the Qin family.
Qin Chongxiao sighed after hearing this, "They all brought this upon themselves, and they deserve it. Qin Changzhou is not worthy of you, so naturally you should divorce him. Even if you divorce him, you've suffered a loss."
At the same time, he felt a little regretful. Even if he had not found evidence of his background, he should have told the General's Mansion first.
With Li Jingwan's intelligence, she should be able to find out some problems, at least knowing that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not a reliable place, and thus breaking off the marriage.
"Miss Li, thank you for saving my mother." Qin Chongxiao asked about Lin's situation, "Is she okay now?"
Li Jingwan was speechless and looked hesitant.
"But what happened?" Qin Chongxiao asked.
"The eldest lady..." Li Jingwan paused and finally said.
"Last time, when you and I went back to Tacheng separately, I received news from the capital that she...she was killed by robbers..."
Tears flowed down his cheeks under the mask. Qin Chongxiao clenched his fist and couldn't help but pounded the table twice to vent his grief and anger.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Mother...her life...was too hard..."
But this is real life.
There are not many perfect things in the world, but more regrets, grievances and injustices.
After a while, Qi Ming knocked on the door and reminded quietly, "Master, the time is up."
Qin Chongxiao couldn't stay too long, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
Qin Chongxiao then stood up first.
"Your Highness, Miss Li, please return to Tacheng as soon as possible. Don't come to Xirong again recently. The situation will only become more and more tense."
Chu Tingyu nodded.
"Brother Qin, you came here to get medicine, but where do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Jingwan had wanted to ask for a long time, "Is it related to the mask you wear? Doctor Xu is in Tacheng, he can..."
"No." Qin Chongxiao interrupted her, "It's just some old illnesses. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
He obviously didn't want to say more, so Li Jingwan had to shut up.
Before leaving, Qin Chongxiao said, "Your Highness, if I find any important clues, I will send someone to deliver a message to you as I just said."
Chu Tingyu nodded, "Chongxiao, take care of yourself."
Li Jingwan was reluctant to leave. "Brother Qin, you must be careful. Ding Zheng is still waiting to meet you."
"I understand." Qin Chongxiao nodded solemnly.
In the past, he didn’t care much about life and death, but now that he has seen them and has people he cares about, he will live well.
-
After Qin Chongxiao left, Chu Tingyu met two more guests and asked a few questions casually to make sure that he would not arouse the suspicion of the owner of the drugstore.
At lunch time, Chu Tingyu and Li Jingwan left the pharmacy and went to a famous restaurant nearby for lunch.
They will leave for home tomorrow, so take advantage of the time today to take a closer look.
There were indeed a lot of people in the restaurant. Although it had three floors, it was already full and people even had to queue up for a seat.
Fortunately, they were not in a hurry and were admiring jade in the shop next door. The waiter came over and spoke fluent Shengchao dialect. There was a vacant seat on the second floor and invited them to go upstairs.
Just as I reached the second floor, two Xirong men came down from the third floor.
Both of them are tall and mighty, and it can be seen at first glance that they are martial artists.
They walked straight to Li Jingwan, and one of them said in Shengchao dialect, "My master invites the young lady to come upstairs for a chat."
Li Jingwan was stunned. Who was looking for her?
Chu Tingyu stepped forward and stood in front of Li Jingwan. "You two have found the wrong person, right? We just arrived here and don't know any noble people."
The man said in a strong voice, "My master invites you, so you must go up."
"If you don't want to, don't blame us for forcing you."
Chu Tingyu's face darkened and he didn't give in at all.
The two guards who were secretly protecting them came over when they saw that the situation was not good, with their hands reaching for their abdomens.
Li Jingwan was worried about something going wrong, so she smiled and asked, "Young man, can you tell me who your master is?"
"You'll know when you go there." The man was arrogant and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Let's go."
Chu Tingyu was about to move, but Li Jingwan grabbed his arm and whispered, "No, they have people upstairs and downstairs."
"The other party should not have any ill intentions, otherwise he would have attacked directly." Li Jingwan analyzed and made a decision, "I will go."
"No." Chu Tingyu immediately refused, "I'll go with you."
When the Xirong man heard this, he did not refuse, "Then you all go up together."
Li Jingwan wanted to push Chu Tingyu away and leave first, but he grabbed her arm and insisted on going upstairs with her.
The third floor is not a lobby, but is full of private rooms. It is extremely quiet and you can tell at a glance that it is specially prepared for guests of noble status.
Several Xirong men were standing outside a private room. The person who brought them here pushed open the door and said respectfully, "Master, the people are here."
"Please come in quickly."
This familiar female voice made Li Jingwan feel relieved.
This is Nagya's voice.
Sure enough, as soon as she and Chu Tingyu entered, they saw Nagya leaning against the window with a glass of wine in her hand, smiling at her.
"Sainwan, we meet again."
"Greetings, Princess." Li Jingwan saluted her and also told Chu Tingyu her identity.
When Chu Tingyu heard Li Jingwan talk about her encounter with Nagya in Reduo, his tense heart relaxed a lot and he continued to salute.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Nagya looked at Chu Tingyu, "Sainwan, this is..."
Li Jingwan said quickly, "Princess, he is my..."
Before the word "master" was uttered, Nagya said, "I know, he is your husband."
Li Jingwan's words got stuck in her throat, her face began to heat up rapidly, and she was about to explain, but Nagyala stretched out her words -
"Aren't women in the Sheng Dynasty very shy? You and your husband are very generous. He kept holding your arm."
Li Jingwan turned her head and found that Chu Tingyu was still holding her arm.
She didn't dare to look at Chu Tingyu's expression and quickly took two steps back.
"Princess, he is..."
"Princess, you have good eyesight." Chu Tingyu interrupted her and raised his hands to clasp his fists, "My surname is Bai, and I am Xiaowan's husband."
Li Jingwan felt like her face was burning, and she felt hot even in winter.
Although Chu Tingyu was acting with her, she always felt that she was taking advantage of him.
Nagya blinked at Li Jingwan with an expression that showed she knew it.
"Saienwan, I saw you upstairs, so I sent someone to invite you. I didn't expect your husband and you to be so affectionate that you had to come with me."
Li Jingwan really wanted to sew her mouth shut, and quickly changed the subject, "Princess, are you here alone?"
But Nagya didn't finish her words. She stared at Chu Tingyu and said, "You are consistent with Sai Enwan's description. You are indeed very handsome and reliable."
Li Jingwan lowered her head and began looking for a crack in the ground to crawl into.
A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Tingyu's eyes. "Princess, do you know me?"
"Sainwan told me about you. Even if I gave her a box of gold, she wouldn't stay for a while because she said she missed you very much."
That's not what she said at all!
Li Jingwan felt that Nagya was very suitable to be a storyteller.
But now, it was not convenient for her to explain and she could only acquiesce to Nagya's self-expression.
Nagya waved, "Why are you still standing? Come and sit."
Li Jingwan walked over, looked up with a blushing face, saw Nagya smiling at her teasingly, and spoke before she could open her mouth.
"Princess, are you alone?"
"Did you see anyone else?" Nagya looked resentful.
"I originally came here to look for Wu Di. I heard that he would come to a pharmacy here to buy medicine on the first day of every month. But when I arrived, he had already left."
Li Jingwan's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Nagya arrived late, otherwise she would have become suspicious if she saw Qin Chongxiao coming out of the same pharmacy as them.
It seems that they can no longer meet Qin Chongxiao in the Holy Medical Hall.
Nagya was dissatisfied again, "Why did you run away secretly last time? I sent people to chase you, you are so cruel."
Li Jingwan felt that she was like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Princess, you know my family is worried about me. The sooner I return, the sooner they will feel at ease."
Chu Tingyu cooperated and said, "Princess, we have been looking for Xiaowan. Thank you for taking care of her those days."
Nagya saw the two of them sitting together, a perfect match, and she couldn't help feeling envious. If Wudi also liked her, they would be just as happy.
She sighed sadly, "Didn't you run away? How dare you come to Xirong again? You are really brave."
This question needs to be taken seriously. When Li Jingwan was considering what to say, Chu Tingyu said first, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern for my wife. It was me who wanted to bring her here."
"I have been very worried since she disappeared last time. I can only feel at ease if I have her by my side."
"You two are so loving." Nagya was envious and jealous, and drank half a glass of wine angrily.
Li Jingwan forced a smile.
"However, you should not come to Xirong again recently." Nagya changed the subject.
Li Jingwan pretended not to know, "Why? Did something happen?"
Nagya's voice deepened. "Xirong and Sheng Dynasty are about to go to war. Didn't you notice it in Tacheng?"
Li Jingwan shook her head. "Princess, we are just ordinary people. How can we know anything about the army? Besides, our journey to the capital this time was smooth, just like before."
"That was in the past. Anyway, don't come recently." Nagya reminded, "You have seen Yeqilu. He is a mad dog."
As for the affairs of the court, she was not in a position to say more. "If you have the chance, you'd better leave Tacheng and go far away."
"But it's impossible for all the people living on the border between the two countries to leave." Li Jingwan said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Princess, if Yeqilu started this war, why can't you stop him? The people suffer the most from war, and we just want to live a peaceful life."
"Sainwan, a mad dog has no reason." Nagya's face was more serious than ever before, "Especially a mad dog without a chain. No one knows what he will do."
Li Jingwan felt heavy in her heart.
Just now in the pharmacy, she thought the same as Qin Chongxiao, trying her best to stop the war, but when Chu Tingyu said that this war must be fought, she did not completely agree.
But now, she understood the meaning of Chu Tingyu's words.
When dealing with a mad dog, don't expect it to become docile. Only by killing it can you get rid of it once and for all.
At this moment, she decided to do her best in the upcoming war and get rid of Yeqilu as soon as possible!

Beijing.
Zhao Yunying accompanied Zhong back to the mansion from the temple after burning incense, and sent her back to her room to rest.
As soon as she left the yard, she saw Lian Ye standing at the gate and bowing to her.
"Madam, the young lady said she has something to ask you, so please go to her yard."
Zhao Yunying felt that this was no small matter, so she followed her.
Song Qingyan's bedroom door was open. When she saw Zhao Yunying coming in, she went to greet her, "Mom."
"Go in and talk."
After closing the door, Zhao Yunying asked, "Yan'er, what happened?"
"Mom, do you still remember Duan Wu?"
Hearing this name, Zhao Yunying's face immediately became nervous, "He came to see you? What are they going to do? Didn't we clear our relationship a long time ago?"
Duan Wu is a killer of Wutou, and he was one of the murderers who killed Lin.
"Mom, please listen to me first." Song Qingyan took her hand and sat on the Arhat bed together.
"Duan Wu said he wanted to make a deal with me."
