Chapter 105 The girl Luo'er saved is a princess!

The maid glanced at the young master's expression before stammering, "Reporting to the young lady, they said... they heard that our young lady has been found safe and sound, so they came to deliver gifts and pay their respects..."

Li Qingzhu's eyes brightened slightly. In the two days since her return, she could imagine the uproar that had been stirred up in Jinling City because of her.

None of her former close friends have come to visit her yet.

Li Qingzhu felt very bitter and was holding her breath, thinking that when she married Prince Yun, she would make those vile people regret it!

Therefore, she was overjoyed to hear that someone from the Princess's residence had arrived.

“Brother, the Grand Prince Consort’s niece, Pan Li, is my best friend, but she came here using the Princess’s name?”

Li Qingzhu excitedly lifted her skirt and stood up, "Then I'll go take a look!"

Li Kechuan quickly grabbed her and shook his head at Li Qingzhu with a gloomy expression.

"Pearl, you've probably misunderstood."

After saying that, Li Kechuan raised his hand and slapped the maid hard across the face.

"You lowly servant! Why are you shouting like that without explaining yourself? Tell me, which young lady are those people from the Princess's residence here to deliver gifts to?"

As soon as Li Kechuan said this, Li Qingzhu's face turned pale.

The maid immediately knelt down, covering her swollen face, not daring to even cry: "Yes, it was to deliver it to the second young lady of the Red Maple Pavilion..."

Li Kechuan raised his cane and slammed it hard against the maid: "Damn it! What are you saying when you come back about the Red Maple Pavilion incident? You wretched wench, get out!"

The maid, still injured, crawled down crying.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Liu Sui'er emerged with the ointment.

"I told you long ago not to mess with her. Don't you understand the value of my face now?"

Liu Sui'er sighed and gently sat down next to the maid.

Since Li Qingzhu returned, Liu Suier has disappeared completely from all light, like a shadow.

Therefore, Li Qingzhu has not yet discovered her existence.

Li Kechuan, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten about Liu Suier.

The maid was sobbing, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

"She burned my own sister to death! I hate her! One day, I will make Li Qingzhu pay for her crime with her blood!"

Li Qingzhu sat down again, looking utterly dejected.

It's Li Qingluo again?

It's her again!

She gripped her palms tightly, the hatred in her heart swelling uncontrollably like vines.

Seeing the expression on her face, Li Kechuan felt a pang of heartache.

He reached out and pried Li Qingzhu's fingers apart one by one: "Your brother will support you. Your marriage, your honor and status, everything that is rightfully yours, can only be yours."

“If anyone blocks your way, brother, destroy her.”

——

Red Maple Pavilion.

Li Qinglu stared at the young woman in front of her.

She hadn't seen Princess Nanping clearly when she jumped into the water to save someone that day, so she only realized now that Princess Nanping was the young girl with a tender appearance and jewels who sat next to her at the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence that day and asked her if she had ever slept with pigs and chickens.

Is it her?

Li Qinglu should have thought of this long ago.

She was young and had no elders with her, but no one present that day was of higher status than her.

Li Qingluo curtsied and greeted, "This humble woman greets Princess Nanping. May I ask if you have fully recovered?"

Princess Nanping blushed and stepped forward to pull Li Qingluo away, saying, "I'm already better! Sister, you don't need to be so polite. Please don't be angry with me."

Li Qingluo: "Why am I angry with you?"

Princess Nanping: "After you saved me, I didn't come to your door to thank you in person for saving my life! Although I fell slightly ill after returning home, I'm actually well now."

"It was my mother who said that there has been a lot of trouble in your household lately, so she told me not to disturb your peace and quiet, and that's why she forbade me to come!"

“But yesterday my fifth uncle said something fair: since you saved my life, if our princess’s mansion doesn’t hurry to express our gratitude while it’s still fresh, how can we be sincere once it’s cooled down? The whole of Jinling City deserves to say we’re arrogant.”

"Besides, if you hadn't saved me in time that day, I would have been more than just a minor illness!"

Fifth Prince's Uncle?

Li Qinglu knew who it was in an instant.

He is the fifth prince of the current Liang Dynasty, Prince Su.

His relationship with the Princess's residence seems to be quite close.

That day, Princess Nanping was at the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, and Prince Su also went there. Now that I think about it, it was for Nanping's sake.

But why did he go to the princess's residence yesterday?

The room is now filled with gifts from the Princess's residence. Even Princess Nanping has secretly come. Although it is an honor, Li Qingluo does not want anyone to find out that she has any private dealings with Prince Su.

Just as Princess Nanping looked like she was about to ask, Li Qingluo quickly grabbed her: "Would you like some osmanthus cake? I picked the osmanthus myself and made the osmanthus honey, it's already very fragrant."

Princess Nanping visibly swallowed hard: "I want it."

Li Qinglu smiled gently: "I'll have them cook for you. Now that you're here, have a good time at my Red Maple Pavilion today."

Princess Nanping's eyes lit up instantly: "Sister Luo, I saw a target in your courtyard. Are you playing archery?"

Although Princess Nanping arrived secretly with the gift-giver, the Jingci Hall quickly found out.

When it was time for lunch, Jingci Hall delivered a sumptuous feast.

"Our old lady said she wouldn't disturb our distinguished guests any longer. So, she just sent over some food. Next time, she'll invite the princess to visit Jingci Hall."

Princess Nanping, having recently been taught etiquette, immediately replied with a few polite words.

In the afternoon, the servants who had come with her urged her several times before Princess Nanping finally left reluctantly.

When Qu Shi and Li Chaojing learned of this news, it was already evening.

Knowing that Li Qingluo and the princess had spent the day together and had a great time, Li Chaojing nodded repeatedly in approval: "I never expected that Luo'er could befriend the Princess's family. I heard that although the princess goes to many homes, not every noble lady can get along with her. It seems that the two of them are destined to be together."

"I was initially worried that she might be disorganized and make a fool of herself since she grew up in the countryside, but her social skills were in no way inferior to those of Zhu'er, who grew up in Nanjing."

Ms. Qu, on the other hand, looked worried.

She naturally kept Li Qingzhu and Prince Yun's affair a secret.

There are already many things to do in the manor.

She hoped to have fewer worries.

When Luo'er was kidnapped last time, Li Chaojing was very angry with her.

When Luo'er fell off the cliff, Li Chaojing looked like he wanted to devour her.

It seems that he, as a father, still cares a lot about his biological daughter.

However, as a mother, she naturally hoped that both of them would be well, especially Zhu'er, who was already somewhat humble in this family because of her bloodline. Now that she had returned, she was afraid she would not be able to adapt to Luo'er being more glamorous than her.

Madam Qu sighed, "Zhu'er just returned. Wouldn't it be better if Luo'er took her to meet that princess?"

"However, the two sisters still seem quite unfamiliar with each other. I can't force Luo'er to do anything..."

As Madam Qu was helping Li Chaojing take off his shoes and wash his feet, she noticed that Li Chaojing's brows furrowed slightly again. Although she was uneasy, Madam Qu still braced herself and asked, "Husband, do you have any objections to Zhu'er?"

“You haven’t seen Zhu’er since she came back. That girl has been heartbroken for days… Even if you value Luo’er now, you shouldn’t neglect Zhu’er!”

Li Chaojing immediately lost interest.

He got up with wet feet, ready to leave, but before he did, he left Qu with a sentence: "I will not see Zhu'er until I have thoroughly investigated whether Zhu'er is really completely unrelated to Chuan'er's broken leg!"
