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

Qin Lingyun said in the letter that she knew the whereabouts of Ma Wenpo, the deliveryman for Lin.

She would only tell it if Li Jingwan went to see her and agreed to her conditions.

Zhu Gaozhi also saw it and frowned, "Miss, is she trying to trick you into coming?"

Li Jingwan wasn't sure.

Qin Lingyun is from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, so maybe she really knows something.

"I'll go there." Li Jingwan made the decision.

"If she dares to lie to me, I will never see her again no matter what she says. If she really knows the whereabouts of Ma Wenpo, maybe she can find out the whereabouts of the eldest lady's daughter as soon as possible and comfort her spirit in heaven."

"Then I'll go with you." Zhu Gaozhi said immediately.

"No, I can go alone." Li Jingwan was not worried. "The city is peaceful now, and Qin Lingyun is weak. She has been searched and there is no weapon on her."

Li Jingwan was not worried because Qin Lingyun posed no threat at all.

"Coach Zhu, go find Master Gao now and discuss the bandit suppression with him. Uncle Xiang, you don't have to go either. Stay at the mansion and check the account books. I'll come back later and continue the discussion with you."

After making the arrangements, Li Jingwan took a carriage to the clinic and went straight into Qin Lingyun's room.

After recuperating for a few days, Qin Lingyun's complexion was not much better than the last time they met, and she still looked weak.

"Princess, you are here."

Qin Lingyun was very excited to see her and immediately struggled to get up, "I know you will come."

"I'm here, tell me." Li Jingwan said calmly, "If you dare to lie to me, you will have to bear the consequences."

"I understand." Qin Lingyun nodded, but did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked at the maid at the door and said, "Princess, please close the door. I will only tell you."

Li Jingwan then asked the maid to go down first, closed the door, and stared at her from a few steps away from the bed.

"How do you know Ma Wenpo's whereabouts?"

Qin Lingyun said, "Last year when Lin was sent to Youlan Residence, I overheard the conversation between the old lady and Uncle... Qin Changzhou, and they mentioned Ma Wenpo. The old lady said that it was she who arranged for Ma Wenpo to leave the capital, and they are still in contact now."

Li Jingwan immediately asked, "Where is Ma Wenpo?"

Qin Lingyun didn't say anything, but changed the subject and said, "Princess, I wrote it in the letter. I will only tell you if you agree to my conditions."

Li Jingwan was not surprised by her words, "What are your conditions?"

"Let me go and give me my freedom."

"I can't do it." Li Jingwan replied coldly.

"You are a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Whether to release you is the decision of the Dali Temple. I don't have the right to do so. Moreover, even if I did, I would not agree to your request."

Qin Lingyun's face changed.

Although this was not what she had in mind, she did not expect Li Jingwan to reject her so straightforwardly.

Li Jingwan curled her lips, her smile vague.

"Qin Lingyun, do you think you have the upper hand now, so you can negotiate any terms with me? If you don't tell me, I will spend more time looking for you. No matter how many years it takes, I will find the eldest lady's daughter in the end."

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Take good care of your wounds and stay in bed for a few more days. In three days, I will have someone notify the Pacification Office to send someone to take you away. You're in a cell, but there's not even a bed."

She was about to leave, but Qin Lingyun really stopped her, "Princess, wait a minute, don't leave yet."

This is her last chance.

Li Jingwan is too vigilant. These days, not only can I not gain her trust, I can't even see her in person.

If she hadn't lied about having news about Ma Wenpo, Li Jingwan wouldn't have come.

She originally planned to kill Li Jingwan and Chu Tingyu. Since she couldn't do it, she had to at least kill Li Jingwan, so that she could vent her anger.

Li Jingwan smiled. Qin Lingyun had no capital to negotiate with her.

"If you tell me, I will make your life easier in the future. At least you won't be tortured in prison."

This is her bottom line, "If you don't accept it, then forget it."

Qin Lingyun's chest heaved rapidly, and she looked angry and humiliated.

After a while, she finally spoke, her voice filled with negativity after a failed negotiation, "Okay, I accept."

"Go ahead." Li Jingwan didn't want to waste any more time. "Where is Ma Wenpo?"

Qin Lingyun said reluctantly, "In Wu Village."

"Where is this?" Li Jingwan had never heard of the name of this village. "Which state and county is it in?"

"I don't know which state it is, but the county seems to be Shanyang County or Shanyang County..." Qin Lingyun was unsure, "The old lady only mentioned it once at that time."

She suggested, "Princess, I can write down all the possible names and you can find someone to verify them."

Li Jingwan did not object. The address she gave was not accurate enough and she really needed to find someone to verify it.

"Ahem..." Qin Lingyun coughed twice, "Princess, please hand me the paper and pen on the table. I feel pain after getting out of bed."

Seeing her weak face, Li Jingwan did as she was told and walked over with a pen and paper, "Here."

Qin Lingyun stretched her right hand out from under the quilt, as if to take a pen and paper, but suddenly she waved it towards Li Jingwan's eyes with her five fingers spread out.

Then, a handful of white powder was spilled from her palm.

Li Jingwan didn't expect her to do this, and she had no time to dodge, so some of the powder was sprinkled into her eyes.

She closed her eyes reflexively, the irritation from the powder making it temporarily impossible for her to open them.

At this moment, the originally weak Qin Lingyun pulled back the quilt and kicked Li Jingwan to the ground with great force.

Then, she took out a small knife from her boots on the ground and stabbed it towards Li Jingwan's heart.

-

The residence of Prince Jing of Tacheng.

After Li Jingwan left, Xiang Mingfang sat in her study and calculated the accounts for a while, and Chu Tingyu walked in.

"Your Majesty."

Xiang Mingfang was surprised by his sudden appearance and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Where is the princess?" Chu Tingyu glanced around but didn't see her.

Xiang Mingfang didn't know that Li Jingwan had not mentioned Qin Lingyun to Chu Tingyu, so he answered truthfully.

"The princess went to Jirentang at the south gate to meet Qin Lingyun."

"Qin Lingyun?" Chu Tingyu paused, and asked doubtfully, "She is in Tacheng?"

"Yes." Xiang Mingfang explained, "Qin Lingyun came to Tacheng five days ago. After fainting due to weakness, she has been staying in Jirentang to recuperate."

"Just now she asked someone at the clinic to deliver a letter, saying that she had found out about Ma Wenpo, who was the midwife of Lin's birth, and wanted to use this information to negotiate terms with the princess, so the princess went."

Chu Tingyu's face darkened when he heard this, "No."

Xiang Mingfang didn't understand what he meant, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"Qin Lingyun is lying."
