She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 159 Sanctimonious
In the afternoon, Old Madam Qin led everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to wait at the main gate, while Li Jingwan was sitting on a tree watching.
In fact, she was also looking forward to seeing Chu Tingyu ten years later.
The last time she heard that Chu Tingyu appeared, she was very happy.
Ever since Chu Tingyu sent a visiting invitation to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, the mansion has become busy.
He cleaned the house inside and out, replaced the furnishings, and selected a lot of rare treasures from her dowry that he had seized and displayed them.
At this time, there was still half an hour before Chu Tingyu's scheduled arrival time. Qin Lingyun was a little tired from standing, and couldn't help but raise her hand to pound her waist. She was immediately glared at by Old Madam Qin, "Lingyun, put your hands down."
Qin Lingyun did as she was told and was used to saying nice things, "The old lady is strong and healthy, much better than us young people."
"Of course." Tang Qiaoyin continued, "When Guangyao gives birth to a son, the old lady will be able to hold her great-grandson in her arms."
These words obviously touched Old Lady Qin's heart. She smiled and nodded, "Changzhou, Guangyao is already twenty years old. We can't delay any longer. Get married as soon as possible."
Qin Changzhou said, "Don't worry, grandma. I have already selected several girls from noble families and are waiting for you to decide. They all have excellent family backgrounds and good character."
Li Jingwan sneered when she heard this.
Having good character means that one can be bullied by the Marquis's Mansion. She hopes that the family of the chosen woman will open their eyes and not fall into this fire pit.
After Qin Changzhou finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he whispered to Qin Guangyao, "I always feel that Prince Jing's visit to the palace is not as simple as a visit."
"Father, you worry too much." Qin Guangyao was the top scorer in the imperial examination and was recently promoted two levels to the fourth rank. He was in high spirits now.
"Although Prince Jing was conferred the title of prince upon his return to the capital, and the emperor holds him in high regard, he has been away from the capital for ten years, and he has many connections that need to be managed."
"Prince Jing used to be low-key and rarely interacted with aristocratic families, so this time after returning to Beijing, he broke his usual habit and took the initiative to visit or accept invitations."
He couldn't hide his pride on his face, "The Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. It's natural for Prince Jing to visit the mansion."
Qin Changzhou felt that what he said made sense and put his worries aside.
Not long after, Chu Tingyu's motorcade arrived, and everyone immediately walked down the steps and stood beside the carriage to welcome them.
Li Jingwan stood up and looked over curiously.
Chu Tingyu, dressed in moon-white uniform, was the first to get off the carriage.
Compared with ten years ago, his appearance has not changed much. As a man used to fighting on the battlefield, he has a decisive and murderous temperament.
But there was already some vicissitudes of life between his brows.
This kind of vicissitudes of life usually only appear in old people who have experienced most of their lives, but he is only 38 years old, in the prime of his life.
After Chu Tingyu got off the car, he raised his head.
She guessed that Chu Tingyu was looking at the plaque hanging at the gate, but she had the illusion that he was looking at her.
Everyone in the marquis's mansion knelt on the ground and saluted.
After waiting for a while, Chu Tingyu said calmly, "Everyone, get up."
According to etiquette, he should have helped Madam Qin up, but he did not move.
Li Jingwan smiled, Chu Tingyu's temper became even colder than before.
"Prince Jing is honored to have you here. It is a great honor for the Marquis of Wu'an to be here." Qin Changzhou stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you."
Chu Tingyu said, "Let's talk about it after we go in. However, I brought a friend with me today."
Qin Changzhou was pleasantly surprised. "The prince's friend is also a distinguished guest of the Marquis' Mansion. It is an honor."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man got out of the carriage.
He was wearing a green robe, was tall and had a white mask on his face.
Li Jingwan's eyes widened immediately.
She knew this person, it was Qin Chongxiao!
Fortunately, in his previous life, he finally returned to the capital with Chu Tingyu.
And today Chu Tingyu brought him to the Marquis's Mansion...
She instantly understood that this was not a simple banquet and Chu Tingyu had other purposes.
Qin Changzhou and others were surprised to see Qin Chongxiao wearing a mask. Chu Tingyu didn't wait for him to come forward and greet him, and went straight into the mansion.
Qin Changzhou hurriedly followed and greeted him personally, "Your Highness, please come this way. I have prepared some tea."
Chu Tingyu suddenly stopped and asked, "Which courtyard does General Li's daughter Li Jingwan live in?"
Qin Changzhou was stunned, and the expressions of Tang Qiaoyin and others behind him also changed slightly.
He didn't understand why Chu Tingyu asked this question, and said nervously, "My late... my late wife Li... lived in Youlanju."
"Take the king with you."
Qin Changzhou was even more surprised, his eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment.
Li Jingwan on the side was also puzzled, but she had a vague guess in her mind.
One of the reasons why Chu Tingyu came here might be for her...
Madam Qin spoke up at this time, "Your Highness, it is unlucky for Li to pass away in Youlan Residence. I am afraid it will hurt your health. Why don't you go first..."
Chu Tingyu interrupted her, "I have killed many people and seen countless dead. Why would I care about this? Lead the way."
Qin Changzhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and bring him over.
As soon as the gate of Youlanju was opened, Chu Tingyu's face darkened.
Li Jingwan floated over the wall.
During this period, when she had nothing to do, she would come to Youlanju and lie on the tree, watching it turn gray little by little.
After her death, Tang Qiaoyin ordered people to empty out the valuables in the house and abandoned it, not allowing anyone to clean it.
All the flowers in the yard had withered, a lot of weeds had grown, the water in the water tank was dirty, the doors and windows were open, and there was a lot of dust on the ground and furniture.
Li Jingwan didn't want to stay here, but she also felt a little sad.
Every blade of grass and every tree here, as well as the furnishings in every room, were taken care of personally by Bitao and Cuiyu.
Chu Tingyu walked in and looked around, then slowly spoke, "I heard that the Marquis of Wu'an held a grand funeral for the mistress. She looked so sad and emaciated that people in the world praised her."
Qin Changzhou and others looked flustered and nervous.
"As a result, less than two months after Li Jingwan passed away, the courtyard where she lived was already in ruins." Chu Tingyu had a slight smile on his lips, but there was sneer in his eyes.
"Qin Changzhou, is this you who everyone says loves your wife deeply?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Qin Changzhou knelt down, "It was my negligence..."
Tang Qiaoyin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Marquis. It is my fault."
"My Lord is missing my late mistress, and I am worried that he may become ill from missing her and be reminded of her past. So I decided not to let the servants clean the house for now and wait a few months before renovating it."
"Really?" Chu Tingyu turned up the volume, and Tang Qiaoyin's heartbeat quickened.
Chu Tingyu asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the Marquis's second wife, Tang Qiaoyin." Tang Qiaoyin replied.
Chu Tingyu chuckled, "On the one hand, he missed his late wife, and on the other hand, he married someone else less than two months after his late wife passed away..."
"Qin Changzhou, you are a whore but you are still pretending to be a saint. You are so hypocritical."
It was the first time that Li Jingwan heard Chu Tingyu swear, and she couldn't help but applaud.
The others were so frightened that they all fell to their knees.
Being scolded so vulgarly by Prince Jing, Qin Changzhou was sweating coldly and crawled on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
Madam Qin immediately explained, "My Lord, the Marquis's marriage was requested by the Li family."
Li Jingwan was almost laughing with anger. It turned out that even after she died, she would still be used by them.
