The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

only……

Looking at this young lady, he had clearly put aside all his worries, but why was his heart beating faster and faster?

I just can't calm down!

Then, when Li Shu finished reading the contents of the paper and looked up at him, he took two steps back guiltily.

He was afraid that Li Shu would hear his abnormal heartbeat!

Li Shu frowned inexplicably at his behavior and asked, "Can you find out the specific cause of Lin Yihuan's death?"

"I will send someone to give it a try."

"Well, tell me as soon as you have the results. By the way, try to find out where Lin Yihuan went during the three years after she left the Jiaofangsi and disappeared. See if you can find out who Lin Qi's father is."

"Yes, I will withdraw first."

"Ah."

Li Shu nodded, and after Lin Yuan slipped away, she picked up the roll of paper in front of her.

Lin Qi's mother was named Lin Yihuan, a native of Beijing. When she was five years old, she was abducted by human traffickers to Jiangnan and sold into a brothel.

At the age of fourteen, she became the most beautiful lady in the brothel because of her beauty and excellent piano playing.

When she was fifteen years old and ran away on the night of her virginity auction, she was unexpectedly rescued by their father and brought back to the capital, who helped her find her family.

But she might have done something evil like murder or arson in her previous life. After returning home, she had only lived a peaceful life for two years and her marriage had not yet been decided. However, because someone in her clan chose the wrong side, she was implicated and sent to the Jiaofangsi.

But a year later, she was reunited with their father.

With the help of their father, she left the Jiaofangsi and her whereabouts are unknown.

Three years later, the year their mother passed away, she suddenly returned to the capital with a daughter whose father had an ominous reputation, and had their father place her in an uninhabited house in the Li family.

And one day, three months after their mother passed away, she also died suddenly of illness...

Li Shu stared at the four words "sudden death" on the paper for a long time.

Just like their mother...

It's a coincidence...

still is……

"Miss! You are currently in the period of postpartum confinement and cannot stand being tired. You should just go back to bed and lie down."

"..."

Li Shu sighed secretly, smiled at Aunt Gui, stood up and threw the roll of paper into the charcoal basin on the side, and no longer bothered to think about Lin Qi's mother.

Anyway, based on the news she had just read, there was no way to prove that Lin Qi was their father's illegitimate daughter.

of course……

There is no way to prove that Lin Qi is not their father’s illegitimate daughter!

At noon.

Ning Jin, who had entered the palace early in the morning and had been standing outside the imperial study waiting, was finally called into the imperial study.

But after he went in and knelt down to pay his respects, Yin Su was reluctant to let him stand up.

When he finally couldn't help but look up at Yin Su, an envelope flew straight towards his face.

He didn't dare hide.

He let the envelope hit his face and then fell to the ground.

Then Yin Su's voice, clearly tinged with anger, rang out, "That's the letter your wife sent to the palace this morning. Take a look."

Ning Jin's heart skipped a beat.

Shushu's letter to the emperor?

Could it be that she is asking the emperor to allow her to divorce him?

But Shushu should be very clear that the emperor will not easily allow them to divorce!

So……

Thinking of what Shushu said after his mother called him to Zhuyuan that night, he picked up the envelope a little anxiously, took out the letter and read it.

It was just as he thought.

He was asking the emperor to allow him to take a concubine!

He quickly looked at Yin Su and said, "Your Majesty, please understand! I have absolutely no romantic feelings for Yu... Xie Yu! I also have no intention of taking her as a concubine! I'm simply grateful for her life-saving kindness and pity her for having no one to rely on, so I treated her a little too well! But I've realized I didn't handle things right before. I'll be more careful in the future and will never do anything that would cause Shu Shu to misunderstand or anger again!"

"So the rumor about you and Xie Yu hugging and kissing each other in broad daylight is false?"

"Yes! Xie Yu fainted yesterday for no apparent reason. When she woke up, she said she was afraid she would die. When I was trying to comfort her, she suddenly kissed me and said she wanted to test whether she liked me. I was just too shocked to push her away immediately. I didn't... kiss her madly..."

Ning Jin spoke the last few words with great hesitation, and at the same time, he felt a little nervous.

Because he suddenly remembered the first time he kissed Li Shu, Li Shu had blushed and warned him never to do that to other women, otherwise she would not want him.

Even though he was suddenly attacked by Yu'er yesterday and it wasn't his fault, Shushu would definitely say that if he wanted to hide, he could have done so, and then she would definitely misunderstand that he didn't hide because he wanted to do that kind of thing with Yu'er.

then……

Maybe she really won't want him anymore!

After all, she had written a letter to ask the emperor to allow him to take a concubine!

She would never have done such a thing before!

The more Ning Jin thought about it, the more anxious he became. He didn't even hear Yin Su's deep sigh.

Until Yin Su dismissed all the palace maids except Eunuch Yuan, he lowered his voice and said to him, "I did say that after you marry Li Shu, you can't take concubines, but I didn't say that you must remain a virgin for Li Shu."

Ning Jin was stunned when he heard this and almost blurted out "What do you mean?"

But Yin Su didn't give him a chance to ask, and immediately said, "Go back and tell Li Shu that I don't approve her request, and don't let it happen again!"

"Yes……"

Ning Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the emperor would agree to Shushu's request.

Although he wouldn't have to worry about Yu'er's marriage, he had no intention of marrying Yu'er, nor did he want to take the risk of completely losing Shushu.

He believed that as long as he did not touch any woman other than Shushu, no matter how many things he had done to make Shushu angry, Shushu would forgive him and reconcile with him in the future.

After all, they have had feelings for each other since childhood.

Once the emperor agrees to Shushu's request and makes Yu'er his concubine, he will not let Yu'er stay alone in the empty room for the rest of her life, but that will touch Shushu's bottom line!

"Prince Ning, please."

When Eunuch Yuan's voice suddenly rang out in front of him, Ning Jin realized that the emperor had just told him to get out.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

He thought Yin Su would no longer pay attention to him, so he stood up and was about to leave.

Who would have thought that Yin Su would say to him again, "No matter what method you use, you must reconcile with Li Shu as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After Ning Jin responded, he felt completely relaxed.

The emperor would say this to him, which means that the emperor would never agree to Shushu divorcing him!

Then when he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Li Jin and Li Yan waiting outside the palace gate.

He hurried over and asked, "Big Brother, who are you waiting for?"

Li Jin looked at him without saying anything.

Li Yan said: "Wait for you."

"Waiting for me? Could it be because of the rumor that spread in the capital today?"

"Exactly. Is that really a rumor?"

"..."

Ning Jin hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth.

After hearing this, Li Yan and Li Jin both frowned, but neither of them was surprised.

Li Yan had already noticed that Xie Yu treated them completely differently from Ning Jin.

Li Jin knew some things that Li Yan and the others didn't know.

Then Li Yan said, "I'll go back and ask father if we can move up the date of adopting Yu'er as our goddaughter. I think it would be good for you, Yu'er, and Xiaoshu if Yu'er could live in our general's mansion sooner."

Ning Jin nodded in agreement.

He might still be worried if Yu'er lived somewhere else.

But in the General's Mansion, he can rest assured.

But Li Jin suddenly asked him, "If Yu'er never gives up her feelings for you and is determined to marry you, and my father and I hope you will do as she wishes, will you marry her?"
