After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

The next day, Yan Qing counted her dowry at home.

Her original dowry was pawned by Yan Tan, but it had actually returned to her hands long ago. She bought back her dowry with the least amount of money and received compensation from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion for nothing.

Although there is still a part that has not been received, but I have the IOU, so I am not afraid that Lu Qiaonan will take responsibility.

At the same time, Yan Tan was expelled from the Marquis' Mansion.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Yan Qing thought that after this incident, the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion and Lu Qiaonan would no longer treat Yan Tan as well as before, but she didn't expect that the Marquis' Mansion would directly drive Yan Tan out.

This doesn't give Yan Junyuan any face at all.

After Yan Qing was reborn, he originally wanted to send Yan Tan to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, letting her be trapped in the mansion for the rest of her life and suffer hardships, but he didn't expect that he would be abandoned by Lu Qiaonan so quickly.

Thinking of the loving scene between the two in their previous life, Yan Qing felt it was extremely ironic.

It turns out that it wasn't because she was not as good as Yan Tan that Lu Qiaonan changed his mind. In the final analysis, it was just because that person was too disgusting!

Yan Tan had been brought into the Marquis's mansion as a concubine in such a high-profile manner, but now she was being driven out in disgrace. Her future life was completely ruined...

Just for this man.

Huh~

Unhappy retribution!

Yan Qing counted the silver in her hand and added the silver in the gambling house. If Gu Huaizhou regained his identity at this time, she should have enough capital to negotiate with him.

"Miss, when will you give this pen to your cousin?"

Luzhi picked up the brush that had been prepared long ago and said excitedly, "Why don't I go get it to my cousin right away?"

"no!"

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing snatched the pen.

Green Branch was puzzled: "Why?"

The young lady has been busy for several nights to make this brush. Now it has been made for several days. Why don’t you give it to your cousin?

Yan Qing stammered, "I, I'll deliver it myself."

Luzhi immediately said mischievously: "Yes, I understand. This token of love will only be meaningful if I personally deliver it..."

"Begging for a beating!"

Upon hearing the little girl's nonsense, Yan Qing's face turned red and he raised his wrist as if to hit her.

Luzhi ran away happily.

Yan Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the brush in my hand, I was at a loss for a moment.

She originally wanted to make a good brush by herself and give it to Gu Huaizhou to thank him for helping her mother find the miracle doctor Wu Mang.

But before the pen was even finished, Gu Huaizhou practically confessed his love to him...

Yan Qing didn't know whether to send it or not.

Give it to him. What if Gu Huaizhou thinks she has accepted his feelings? She also wants to find him a good wife who can help him.

Don’t send it...it’s all ready.

It's been a hard day for several days.

Yan Qing didn't want to waste it.

She stared at the brush in her hand for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth, deciding to put the brush away and talk about it later.

As a result, when she opened the cabinet door, she saw the first can of plum juice that Gu Huaizhou gave her after their divorce.

She had put the plum juice in the cupboard and forgotten about it.

Now seeing it, I can’t help but think of everything with Gu Huaizhou...

It seemed that he had become much closer to her since her divorce.

But before she married Lu Qiaonan, Gu Huaizhou was not close to her, and sometimes even avoided her when they met.

Why is it different after rebirth?

Yan Qing frowned and thought.

The only difference seemed to be that she didn't divorce in her previous life, but in this life she chose to divorce and return to the Yan Mansion, and went to Qingzhu Courtyard to stop Madam Zhen and Yang Xuan's evil plot. Could it be because...

Thinking of Gu Huaizhou's clear memory of that night, Yan Qing felt a pang of anxiety again. It seemed that after that night, Gu Huaizhou had indeed behaved differently towards her...

Is it because she and he...

If this is the case, Yan Qing must stay sober.

Although Gu Huaizhou is a prince, he has been wandering among the people since he was a child. Later, he lived in Yan Mansion and had to live by other people's wishes. There has never been a female character around him.

So his attitude towards her was not what he thought.

When he meets other women, maybe he won't be like this anymore...

I don’t know what comes to mind.

Yan Qing laughed at himself.

She put the brush into the cabinet, but took out the jar of plum juice, unscrewed the lid, and Yan Qing leaned against the window to savor the plum juice carefully.

My mind unconsciously recalled my childhood.

Plum juice wasn't her favorite at first; it was her mother who liked it. She often saw her mother sitting in the yard, pouring plum juice into a wine glass and sipping it, occasionally clinking glasses.

One day she stole her mother's plum juice, tasted it out of curiosity and fell asleep all day. The next day... wait!

Plum juice will not make you sleepy.

Only wine can make it possible.

If you don't think about some memories, you won't feel anything, but once you delve into them, many details seem to be revealed.

For example, every time my mother drank plum juice, there would be two glasses on the table...

For example, she only thought it was plum juice because her mother said it was plum juice.

For example, the plum juice she secretly drank from her mother did not taste sweet and sour, but sour and astringent, because it was sour like plum juice, so she did not notice it when she was a child.

Yan Qing suddenly stood up straight.

She hurried out.

"Miss?"

Luzhi came in with some tranquilizing soup: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Yan Qing said without even looking up: "I'm going to see my mother."

She wanted to ask her mother what she had drunk all those years ago, and who was that person who had never appeared, yet she always clinked glasses with him?

In the past, Yan Qing might have overlooked these details.

But after her rebirth, she became much more sensitive.

For example, Yan Qing discovered that her mother seemed to be hiding something from her, Yan Junyuan's attitude towards her was really strange, and her mother's attitude towards Yan Junyuan...

As far as she could remember, she seemed to have never seen any affectionate behavior between the two.

And at this moment in Cuizhenyuan.

Some people didn't sleep either.

Yan Tan threw herself into Madam Zhen's arms and cried, "Mother, what should I do? Brother Qiao doesn't want me anymore. How can I live my life in the future? Wuwuwu..."

Madam Zhen was also a little annoyed: "I told you long ago that Lu was no good, but you insisted on liking him. Marquis Wu'an doesn't hold any official position. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, the Marquis Wu'an Mansion would have fallen into decline long ago..."

"Isn't that what Yan Qing likes?"

Yan Tan raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she spoke, "Didn't mother teach me since I was little that I should snatch anything Yan Qing liked from her? Who knew she'd just divorce him and not have even a shred of affection for Lu Qiaonan?"

"Since she has no affection, then you don't have any either."

Madam Zhen patted her shoulder and comforted her, "I've noticed your father is getting close to the King of Qi lately. Why don't you try to get the King of Qi to like you? Even if you can't become the principal wife, you can at least get the position of a concubine..."

"But I'm not willing to give in!"

Thinking of Yan Qing's face, Yan Tan's face twisted with anger: "Now my reputation is ruined, and it's all caused by Yan Qing. Mother, how can I swallow this!"

"Who said to swallow it?"

Madam Zhen suddenly whispered in Yan Tan's ear: "I heard that the little bitch's good friend is back..."

Yan Tan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, she sneered, "Mother, this time I will make sure Yan Qing's reputation is completely ruined. It will be ten times or even a hundred times worse than mine!"

……

Xiruoyuan.

"Second Miss, why are you here?"

When Nanny Zhang came out of the inner room, she saw Yan Qing appear in the yard.

Yan Qing saw that the lights in the inner room were off and asked softly, "Has mother gone to bed?"

"Just fell asleep."

Nanny Zhang tiptoed into the courtyard and said gratefully, "Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Jing for inviting the imperial physician, Madam has felt much better these past few days and has slept soundly."

Yan Qing thought: It’s not Prince Jing, the one I should be grateful to is Gu Huaizhou.

But she didn't say that.

She had originally acted on impulse and wanted to ask her mother about her doubts, but since her mother had fallen asleep, she naturally could not ask.

Yan Qing said: "In that case, I will come again tomorrow."

Nanny Zhang escorted Yan Qing out of the hospital and asked in confusion, "Second Miss, why did you come to see Madam so late at night? What's the matter?"

Yan Qing originally wanted to say that it was nothing, but when she saw the old face of Aunt Zhang, she suddenly paused.

Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li are both old maids who accompanied my mother from the general's mansion as a dowry. Maybe they know something?

"Madam Zhang..."

Yan Qing stopped.

She hesitated for a moment, pondering for a long time before asking, "When mother was young...did she have any good friends?"

"Friends?"

Nanny Zhang thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Madam has loved wielding swords and guns since she was a child. She often got into fights when she was little. The noble ladies in Kyoto didn't like to play with her, and she beat up all the young masters. That's why the young lady doesn't have many friends."

"not a single one?"

Yan Qing thought of how his mother, when he was a child, would always put an empty wine glass on the table whenever she drank the wine that was similar to plum juice, and she would clink glasses with the empty glass, clearly looking like she was missing an old friend.

Aunt Zhang nodded affirmatively: "No."

Given the temper of the lady when she was young, she would scold even a dog she saw passing by. How could she have friends?

I have a lot of enemies.

Yan Qing frowned: Could she be wrong?

But she felt...

"but……"

Just as Yan Qing lowered her head in thought, Nanny Zhang suddenly spoke up, "Madam, when you were young, you followed the old general on expeditions to many places. I wonder if you made any friends there..."

Yan Qing's eyes lit up slightly: "Where are they?"

Nanny Zhang recalled, "The Dongyi barbarians, the Western Zhou Chu State, the northern Jianghu people, the southern barbarians, the Xiongnu... there are too many, I can't remember them all. If the second young lady likes to hear about Madam's youth, the old general knows the most..."

Yan Qing: “…”

With so many places, even if I asked my grandfather, I’m afraid he wouldn’t know who the empty wine glass represents?

It seems that no one knows about her mother's affairs except herself.

Never mind, no matter what my mother is hiding, it won’t affect what she wants to do in her life.

Yan Junyuan, Wu'an Marquis Mansion, King Qi...

She will definitely make them pay for what they did in their previous life, and no one can change that.

As for her mother's affairs, she would talk about them if she wanted to, and she wouldn't force her not to talk about them.

After thinking this through, Yan Qing's mind suddenly became clear.

After saying goodbye to Nanny Zhang, Yan Qing returned to Qingyi Courtyard.

Yan Qing was a little tired after all the goings and goings, so he didn't disturb Luzhi and Qingluan and just lay down on the bed to rest.

I just forgot to drink the calming soup.

So when Yan Qing saw the familiar secret room and coffin again, his whole body trembled.

It’s over, I was dreaming again!

Fortunately, this time she did not dream that she turned into a corpse in a coffin and did anything shameful with Gu Huaizhou.

Yan Qing floated above the secret room.

Gu Huaizhou was not in the secret room, only the exquisite and luxurious coffin was lying there.

Inside lay a woman who looked exactly like she did before she died.

Although the last dream about Gongsun Zhi was related to reality, Yan Qing was not willing to mistake the corpse in the coffin for himself.

Because it's so weird.

She couldn't figure it out.

If you can't figure something out, don't think about it for now.

Perhaps because he was already familiar with this secret room, or perhaps because the emperor Gu Huaizhou was not there, Yan Qing was not as scared as before.

She controlled her body and swayed in the secret room.

Apart from the fact that there were portraits of her all around, there didn't seem to be anything special.

Finally, Yan Qing returned to the coffin and looked down at 'her' in the coffin.

His face was really scary.

But there seems to be no sign of decay.

If it hadn't been for its lack of physical form, Yan Qing would have really wanted to reach out and poke it to see if the corpse's skin had stiffened.

I don’t know what method Gu Huaizhou used to preserve the body from decay, and it even looks the same as when he was alive.

But isn't he afraid of sleeping with a corpse like this every day?

Yan Qing's gaze followed the corpse's cheek to her, and suddenly, her expression froze.

The clothes on the corpse are different!

Gu Huaizhou changed the clothes of the corpse?

Who did he ask to change it?

he himself?

Yan Qing's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Although she had always regarded the corpse in the coffin and herself as two different people, she could not ignore the face that looked exactly like her own.

Gu Huaizhou changed clothes for someone who looked exactly like him...

Although she was clearly dreaming, Yan Qing felt her cheeks were burning.

Just when Yan Qing was in dire straits, the door of the secret room suddenly creaked open.

Yan Qing thought it was Gu Huaizhou who came back.

When I turned around, I saw a disgusting face!

——Lu Qiaonan!

Why is he here?

Lu Qiaonan was wearing a nightgown, with half of his face covered by a black cloth. The reason why Yan Qing recognized him at a glance was that even if he turned into ashes, she would still recognize his passionate peach blossom eyes!

Lu Qiaonan looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he ran straight to the coffin in the secret room.

When he saw the female corpse in the coffin, Lu Qiaonan burst into tears: "Qingqing, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you down. I am sorry for you. Don't worry, I will take you back and bury you in my Lu family's ancestral tomb.

I will be with you even after I die. I only hope that we can be husband and wife again in the next life..."

"boom!"

As Lu Qiaonan said the word "husband and wife", Yan Qing felt a buzzing in his head, as if he was hit by a huge hammer.

She was suddenly sucked in by an inexplicable force.

It was as if he wanted to suck her soul away!

Yan Qing felt very uncomfortable.

Although I had no physical body, I felt uncomfortable all over, as if every piece of my skin was about to explode and hurt.

Lu Qiaonan was still saying something.

But Yan Qing didn't understand a word.

The words he had just said kept echoing in his mind: husband and wife... Lu family ancestral tomb... I'm sorry...

"what--"

She finally roared with all her might.

"Miss! Miss!"

Luzhi's anxious voice sounded in his ears, and Yan Qing suddenly woke up!
