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

When Chen heard from the doorman that Prince Jing's men were coming to visit the mansion, she hurried to the main hall to greet them.

On the last birthday of Old Lady Bai, she was stripped of her position as mistress, demoted to concubine, and locked up in the yard.

She was very indignant about this and shouted that she would go to Li Jingwan and others to settle the score.

Bai Hong was so angry that he slapped her twice, pointed at her nose and called her "idiot", and finally revealed Chu Tingyu's identity. She was so scared that she was panicked for several days and never dared to do anything rash again.

When Chen saw that the person sent by Chu Tingyu was Li Jingwan, anger flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to show it and could only greet him with a smile on her face.

"So the distinguished guest is Miss Xiaowan. Please take a seat." He turned around and asked the servant to bring tea.

It looked as if she was still the mistress of the Bai Mansion.

Chen lived in the inner house and had no idea of ​​Li Jingwan's true identity.

Li Jingwan sat down, and Li Dingzheng and Qi Ming stood behind her.

She smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, long time no see. Why do I need you to come and receive me now?"

The implication is that she is not qualified.

Chen naturally understood what he said. She gritted her teeth in hatred but put on a smile.

"The master is busy every day, and he is lucky enough to work with Prince Jing, so he naturally has no time to take care of the harem. The old lady is old, and I am most familiar with the affairs of the mansion, so I can do something to help the master and the old lady share their worries."

Although Bai Hong scolded her harshly, Chen was used to flattering him, and they had been married for many years and had feelings for each other. So after being ignored for a while, Bai Hong treated her the same way as before.

Bai Yiyi didn't like managing the trivial matters in the mansion, and she went to see Li Jingwan almost every day, so Chen took the initiative and exercised the rights of the mistress.

Since Bai Yiyi didn't raise any objections, Li Jingwan wouldn't hold on to it. She got back to the point, "Aunt Chen, I have something to ask Miss Bai. Please ask her to come out."

Chen said, "Oh my!" "Miss Xiaowan, it's really unfortunate. The eldest lady went out early in the morning."

"He went out?" Li Jingwan paused, "When?"

"It will probably take more than an hour." Chen said, "The eldest daughter has been running around every day recently. The master doesn't care, and we, as her concubines, don't dare to ask."

According to Chen, if Bai Yiyi really took more than an hour to leave the mansion, then Bai Yiyi should have arrived before she left Prince Jing's mansion.

But this does not match the time when Bai Yiyi usually arrives at the mansion.

Moreover, when she left yesterday, she clearly said that she would arrive at the usual time today, and specifically reminded Li Jingwan to wait for her to have snacks together.

"Aunt Chen, did Miss Bai say where she was going?" Li Jingwan asked again.

Chen shook her head, her tone quite helpless.

"Although we live in the same mansion, the eldest lady goes out early and comes back late, and I don't know what she is doing. I haven't even seen her shadow, let alone where she will go."

It sounded like these were clearly insinuations that Bai Yiyi was fooling around outside.

"Mrs. Chen, be careful with your words." Li Jingwan's face darkened slightly. "Miss Bai is doing things for Prince Jing. Does the prince need to come here in person to explain to you?"

Chen's face changed, and she said awkwardly, "I am sorry for saying too much. How can someone like me know that the eldest lady works for the prince?"

Just then, a servant came in with a tray. Chen quickly stood up, took out the teacup, walked to Li Jingwan, bowed and offered it as an apology.

"Miss Xiaowan, please have some tea. I was just talking nonsense. Miss Xiaowan, you are a magnanimous person. Don't take it to heart."

Li Jingwan did not reach out to take it. Instead, she sniffed lightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Miss Xiaowan, please have some tea." Chen said again, "The tea in the mansion is just average, I hope Miss Xiaowan doesn't mind."

"That's not true." Li Jingwan took over, "Mr. Bai is a well-known merchant in Tacheng. The things in his mansion are better than those in the palace."

A smug smile appeared on Chen's face.

Li Jingwan held the teacup and gently stroked the rim of the teacup twice with the tea lid. "According to Aunt Chen, you didn't see the eldest lady today?"

"Yes." Chen nodded. "I also heard from the servants during breakfast that the eldest lady had already left."

There was a fake apology in her tone, "Miss Xiaowan has made a wasted trip. When the eldest lady comes back, I will tell her immediately to look for you."

"No need." Li Jingwan put down the teacup, "Actually, I came to see Miss Bai to get something. Since she's not here, I'll just go to her room to get it and leave."

"Ah?" Chen thought she had misheard, "You want to go to her room to get something?"

"Yes." Li Jingwan nodded, "I came to see her today just to get something."

She suddenly said that she wanted to go to Bai Yiyi's room. Li Dingzheng and Qi Ming behind her were a little confused.

However, they knew that Li Jingwan would not do this for no reason, so their expressions remained unchanged.

"What is it?" Chen was obviously a little panicked. "I'll send someone to her room to get it. No need to trouble Miss Xiaowan."

"This is what the prince wants, how can you tell him?" Li Jingwan stood up and said, "Lead the way."

"No." Chen refused hastily, looking a little panicked. "The backyard is where women live. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Am I a man?" Li Jingwan asked back, "And I'm the only one going to get it, they won't go in."

Chen still refused, "The eldest lady is not married yet, and outsiders are not allowed to enter her boudoir."

"Then call Madam Bai over." Li Jingwan said solemnly, "See if Madam Bai will agree."

"The old lady went out to worship Buddha yesterday and will not be back until tomorrow."

Li Jingwan's eyes darkened.

This timing is too coincidental.

Bai Yiyi left early for no reason, Bai Hong and Old Madam Bai were not in the mansion, and the Bai mansion was actually controlled by Chen.

What made her most suspicious was the perfume on Chen's body, which was clearly the scent of the perfume that Bai Yiyi usually used.

She smelled it when Chen handed her the teacup just now.

Bai Yiyi said that the perfume she used was chosen for her by her mother before she passed away. She liked it very much and has been using it all the time.

This perfume is produced in Xirong and is very expensive. She is the only one in the Bai Mansion who can use it. Bai Lixuan asked her for it, but she refused to give it to her.

Moreover, Chen had the scent of this perfume on her body, but the smell was not very strong, which meant that she was not using it, but was contaminated by it.

So she deliberately asked Chen if she had seen Bai Yiyi today, but Chen said no, it was obvious that she was lying.

She had a hunch that something must have happened to Bai Yiyi, and she had to go in and check.

There was a hint of anger in Li Jingwan's voice.

"I am taking things to do things for the prince. If you stop me and delay the prince's business, even Bai Hong can't protect you!"

"If you continue to hinder me, you will have ten heads left. Qi Ming!"

Qi Ming understood, took two steps forward, drew his sword, and said fiercely, "Anyone who stands in my way will die."
