The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill
Chapter 24: Sudden Betrayal
*
At this time, Jinyuyuan was in chaos.
Li Shuyue put her hands on her hips and ordered the maids and servants around, "You'd better find the bracelet for me within half an hour, otherwise, I will make you pay!"
When she woke up this morning, she was told that Liu had been sent out of the house.
Li Shuyue rolled her eyes in disdain and finally left. When she stayed in this mansion, she always failed to get things done and always got herself into trouble.
Now that she is gone, Jinyuyuan no longer has to be locked up, and she can command both Jinyuyuan and her Shuangyueju.
This made Li Shuyue's vanity swell to the extreme, and she even had a vague vision of herself becoming the mother of the country in the future.
After being helped by her maid to change her clothes, she touched her wrist but didn't find what she was looking for. She searched the bedside for a long time but couldn't find the bracelet. So she ordered everyone in the Jinyu Courtyard to stop what they were doing and help her find the bracelet.
If they cannot find the person, each of them will be severely beaten with fifty sticks.
Although the servants appeared respectful on the surface, they actually despised the fourth girl in their hearts.
No, she's fine, right? I heard that a maid was rude and talked back to the third lady a few days ago, and she was only given 20 strokes of the cane at most, and that's not even the full amount.
The fourth girl was so good that she started with fifty lashes and beat him severely? Was she trying to kill a few people before the New Year?
At this moment, they were all praying in their hearts that the third girl would come and find trouble with the fourth girl and teach her a lesson!
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
When Li Qingqian brought her father to Jinyuyuan, they happened to catch up with this excitement.
When she saw them, Li Shuyue first glared at Li Qingqian with displeasure, then bowed respectfully to Li Zhengkang and said, "I, your daughter, greet your father."
Seeing this, Li Qingqian thought to herself, has her sister become smarter? She knows she can't argue with her father with her neck stiff like she did yesterday?
This is good, it will be more interesting to fight in the future.
Li Zhengkang stared at her straight in the eyes. "What are you doing commanding these people?"
"To answer your father's question, my daughter lost a bracelet in the Jinyuyuan yesterday and is asking someone to find it."
Forget it, it’s still that idiot Li Shuyue. Li Qingqian silently took back the compliment in his heart.
"What a coincidence! My younger sister also lost a bracelet?" She smiled gently, "My elder sister also lost a bracelet yesterday. Why don't we ask my fourth sister's people to look for it together?"
Li Shuyue was still remembering the slap she had received yesterday, and now she was even more certain that she was here to cause trouble again. How could it be such a coincidence that she also lost her bracelet?
"Humph, elder sister is really amazing. She and her younger sister almost had a falling out yesterday, but she was still able to pretend to be a loving sister. Even the top star in the Wuyou Opera Troupe can't act as well as elder sister, right?"
Li Qingqian sneered in her heart, yes, I, your sister, am good at acting, you have to learn from me next time!
"Sister, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I apologize to you," Li Qingqian stepped forward and gently took her hand, "but I was also very angry because of what you said. How could you compare me with an actor today? I am also my father's child."
After saying this, she glanced at Li Zhengkang intentionally or unintentionally.
As expected, Li Zhengkang couldn't stand it any longer. "This is ridiculous! Not only did you steal your sister's things, but you even dared to say such rude words in front of your father!"
His shout actually frightened Li Shuyue, "Theft? My daughter didn't steal anything. I was just looking for my bracelet."
Li Qingqian retreated silently. Come on, when Liu and Li Shuyue were together, they could still use their brains. Now that one of them is gone, Li Shuyue has become a fool.
It seems that I don't need to say much. Li Shuyue's one-man show can bring about her own death.
"Then tell me, what bracelet did you lose?" Li Zhengkang asked angrily.
"It's a mutton-fat jade bracelet. My maid Yu Luo gave it to me yesterday. But after I had an argument with my sister yesterday, it disappeared for some reason."
It was clearly she who had ripped it off the other person's wrist, but Li Shuyue remained calm when she said this, as if she was telling the truth.
"Fourth sister, what you mean is that you suspect that it was your elder sister who took the bracelet?" Li Qingqian raised her head and looked at her again. "But since your elder sister has already received half of your younger sister's dowry, why would she take your bracelet?"
Thinking of the dowry, Li Shuyue was furious and immediately retorted: "Who knows if you have developed a bad habit of stealing in the countryside?"
She was determined to defeat Li Qingqian, but she forgot that she had never defeated her since she returned to Beijing.
Li Qingqian was so shocked that she opened her mouth and covered it with her hands. "Father, didn't you say that the place where you sent your daughter to be raised was a place with simple folk customs? It was because of this that I lived there peacefully all these years. Why did Fourth Sister change her mind now and say that people would develop bad habits there?"
"Father," she grabbed Li Zhengkang's arm, as if she was about to cry, "What if my reputation is damaged? Will the Zhenguo Mansion still want me?"
Li Zhengkang's heart trembled, the marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was of vital importance to the Li family and must not be lost!
Li Shuyue also panicked for a moment. She was still waiting for Li Qingqian to marry him, and she wanted to laugh at her.
Just when the two were speechless because of Li Qingqian's words, Yun Yi and Yu Luo walked in from outside the yard.
The moment she saw Yu Luo, Li Shuyue's anger surged up again, "I didn't see you when I woke up this morning, where have you been?"
Yu Luo glanced at her, lowered her head and said calmly: "Fourth Miss, you punished me to kneel yesterday, but I have been kneeling for a whole day and night, and my knees can't bear it anymore. I heard that Third Miss has the medicine given by Second Miss Song, so I wanted to ask for some to apply the medicine and continue kneeling."
Li Qingqian pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why did Fourth Sister make you kneel for a whole day and night in this cold winter?"
"It's not one day and one night, Third Miss," she looked up at Li Qingqian, "it's three days and three nights. Fourth Miss punished me because I didn't stop the master yesterday, and I didn't go in before the master to inform the Madam and Fourth Miss."
Li Shuyue was stunned on the spot. How dare this girl reveal everything that happened yesterday?
Li Qingqian pointed at her face and said, "Why does it feel like your face is more red and swollen than yesterday? Qianghuo, why did you hit her so hard?"
Qiang Huo was Li Zhengkang's long-time attendant. He looked at the wound on Yu Luo's face and immediately shook his head and said, "Master, Third Miss, please understand. Although Yu Luo made a mistake and deserved to be beaten, she is a girl after all. I know the severity of the punishment. How could I be so cruel? Could it be that... someone else beat Miss Yu Luo after that?"
His eyes drifted towards Li Shuyue.
However, Li Shuyue felt as if her brain suddenly exploded. He had indeed hit her, but Yu Luo had been beaten by him before. How could it be as serious as it was now?
Yu Luo did not give her a chance to respond. She took out a mutton-fat jade bracelet from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Qingqian. "Third Miss, this is the bracelet that Fourth Miss asked me to take from Yun Shang yesterday."
Li Shuyue was incredulous. "I asked you to take it? It's obvious that you betrayed your master and took the benefits from my sister, and you deliberately framed me!"
"So what you mean is that this bracelet is indeed your sister's?" Li Zhengkang said coldly, "But you just said that this bracelet is yours."
Li Shuyue hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.
Li Zhengkang snorted coldly and said, "Let me ask you again, did you ignore your father's words and stay in Jinyuyuan last night?"
Li Shuyue waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, my daughter went back to Shuangyue Residence to rest early last night and was not in Jinyu Courtyard."
"That's not right," Li Qingqian caught the loophole in her words, "Although Shuangyueju is not too far from Jinyuyuan, it is still a certain distance away. But looking at the posture of Fourth Sister, it seems that she has been looking for the bracelet in Jinyuyuan for a long time? So, did you get up early to look for the bracelet instead of sending mother off, or did you clearly sleep in Jinyuyuan and start looking for the bracelet directly after getting up?"
