Chapter 11: Obsessive, ruthless, and merciless in killing.

Old Madam Pei reached out and struck hard, but the blow was blocked.

Li Qingluo anxiously pulled at Madam Pei, "Are you alright?"

The anxiety in his eyes was almost overflowing.

This important person is actually a prince!

Li Qinglu was horrified, fearing that she would implicate her grandmother.

Madam Pei shook her head, and Zhang Mama and the others immediately gathered around.

"Madam."

"girl."

Everyone was somewhat angry, after all, Li Qingluo had not offended them on purpose. If it weren't for the old lady protecting her, wouldn't Li Qingluo have really had her eyes gouged out?

The atmosphere instantly became tense. The attendant, after being slapped by Madam Pei, actually ran to Prince Su and complained, "Your Highness, that lowly servant dared to offend you. I only wanted to teach her a lesson. Who knew... that I would anger the old lady so much."

Duan Rongshi ignored the attendant and merely glanced at Zhuiyu behind him.

“Cut off his hands.”

Zhuiyu: "Yes, Your Highness."

Before anyone could react, Zhui Yu's pair of curved blades were already drawn, and with a 'whoosh,' both hands fell to the ground.

The attendant collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain and screaming, "Your Highness, why...why—"

Duan Rongshi's eyes showed only disdain: "That woman's hands are good enough to cook a few delicious dishes. If you gouge out her eyes, how can a blind woman be a cook?"

The attendant was completely unable to accept it: "I...I serve you day and night, and I'm not even as good as a cook?"

Then, his eyes flashed with endless resentment as he glared at Prince Su, and he roared, "You madman—"

With a tilt of his head, a flying needle shot out of his mouth.

Before the guards behind Duan Rongshi could fly out, he simply leaned back slightly and caught the flying needle with his hand.

He then flicked his wrist, sending a needle flying into the attendant's eye.

In an instant, the attendant screamed and died.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices, and the manner of his death was extremely gruesome.

Duan Rongshi did not explain anything to the crowd, whose faces were now all pale. He simply nodded to Madam Pei from afar, then turned his horse around and continued on his way.

Madam Pei remained relatively calm and pulled Li Qingluo along, saying, "Let's continue on our journey."

Back in the carriage, Madam Pei called in Zhang Mama.

"Why did these bandits appear so suspiciously? Did you hear their interrogation over there?"

Granny Zhang glanced at Li Qingluo and found that she was still quite calm. She thought to herself: As expected of the old lady's granddaughter, she didn't cry in this situation, which shows she has some courage.

"Reporting to the old lady, these bandits are after us. However, they only say that someone in the city paid them to do this. But they themselves don't know who that person is."

Unable to get any information, Prince Su had all the men executed on the spot.

His methods of doing things can be described as ruthless.

Li Qinglu clenched her fists. What a coincidence? They were coming for them?

Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, there are people who don't want us to come home."

Madam Pei had obviously thought of that as well, but she didn't say anything, she just nodded.

Clearly, she was fully aware of the situation, but simply didn't want to delve into it further with Li Qingluo.

Li Qinglu thought to himself: Yesterday, Li Kechuan knew that they were going down the mountain to enter the city today, so he set up an ambush.

Li Kechuan will definitely tell the whole family this news, so is it Li Kechuan, or... Li Qingzhu?

Li Qingluo believes that one of these two people must be involved.

So you can't wait any longer?

Li Qingluo clenched her fists so tightly that her palms bled, but she felt nothing.

Madam Pei glanced at her, patted her hand, and continued, "It is said that Prince Su is violent and unpredictable. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."

"But if we hadn't happened to be with Prince Su today, we old folks would probably have really suffered."

"Luo'er, if you ever encounter this Prince Su again, remember to stay far away from him! Do you understand?"

Li Qingluo bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Grandmother."

She thought to herself: What chance does she have of having any further interaction with this person?

She never expected that the noble person living in the small courtyard behind the pine trees would be Prince Su.

Thinking of those eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

In her previous life, she had heard of this man's reputation even in the inner quarters of the Li family. Rumors circulated that he was eccentric, violent, obsessive, ruthless, and a ruthless killer.

Moreover, the current emperor has always turned a blind eye to his son's crazy and outrageous behavior.

Therefore, almost everyone in the court both feared and resented Prince Su.

Li Qingluo only learned about this person by overhearing a conversation between Li Kechuan and his son Li Chaojing in her previous life.

But she never expected that Prince Su would have such an appearance.

He was as holy and pure as a god, yet he was caught in this mortal world, his hands stained with blood.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo looked at Madam Pei again and pleaded, "Grandmother, I want to ask you for a favor."

Madam Pei wanted to hear what it was about first.

Li Qingluo said, "Luo'er would like to ask you to arrange for people to return to the city ahead of us. Then, do not enter the mansion, but just wander around the area outside the General's Mansion."

Madam Pei asked, puzzled, "What does this mean?"
