Chapter 114 Waiting for that old bastard to come see me

For Li Kechuan, Li Qingluo's words were an absolute humiliation.

If it were before, Li Kechuan would have rushed forward and given her a piece of his mind!

But now that he's broken a leg, does she think he's a cripple and easy to bully?

Li Kechuan was so angry that he almost crushed the armrest of the chair, but Li Qingzhu held his hand with heartache and advised, "Brother, don't be like this. Sister Luo'er really didn't say anything. It's just that I feel guilty towards her. After all, I've occupied her position for so many years, and I always feel uncomfortable when I see her."

"Next time, brother, don't stand up for me, lest you upset her again..."

Ancestors!

Li Qingzhu was genuinely afraid that Li Qingluo would reveal what she had done in the Lotus Sect, so she earnestly advised Li Kechuan not to speak recklessly again.

At least, until she begged His Highness Prince Yun to eliminate Li Qingluo, this major threat to her...

Standing to the side, Zhuang Wei's eyes once again became confused and strange.

Just now, wasn't Li Qingluo indeed giving Zhu'er a friendly smile?

How did you manage to scare Pearl like that!

They were both sisters, and Zhu'er's death can no longer be blamed on Li Qingluo. It's unbelievable that Li Kechuan, as the older brother, still treats his own sister with such an attitude. It's really unacceptable!

He haphazardly attributed Zhu'er's lapse in composure to the Second Miss Li, and in Zhuang Sanlang's eyes, Li Kechuan was indeed quite ill...

Moreover, the brother and sister's hands, still clasped together, have not let go.

Li Kechuan even gripped Zhu'er's hand tighter!

Zhuang Sanlang felt a deep sense of humiliation welling up inside him.

"Pearl, I'll go out with you to take a look!"

Zhuang Sanlang pulled Li Qingzhu and walked outside, leaving Li Kechuan alone inside the door.

By the time the servants came to carry Li Kechuan out again, Aunt Deng had already cried to Madam Qu.

Jingci Hall.

"Why is she crying? You old hag, did you come back and start singing opera for me? So that everyone in Jinling City will think I'm bullying her?"

Madam Pei was furious. She had long known that Aunt Deng was a cunning old woman, and that she herself had been deceived by her back then.

Later, he caused Madam Pei's family to break apart, and now Madam Pei still feels humiliated when she thinks about it.

"At first, I thought, if I can't afford to offend them, I can at least avoid them. I was thinking of going to a Taoist temple to find some peace and quiet, but isn't that just admitting defeat to that old bastard?"

"I lost to her, I lost completely!"

"Although she hasn't taken over the general's mansion yet, she has a house full of children and grandchildren and has lived a very good life! What about me? I have an only son, who is a simpleton! And a grandson, who is a cripple."

"If I'm unhappy, she can forget about living a long and healthy life!"

Ying'er came up and stroked Madam Pei's chest.

"Don't worry. She's just crying. After all these years at the estate, she's realized how wrong she was. She caused this family to drift apart. Now that the old lady has returned and is willing to let her come back, she's extremely grateful..."

Granny Zhang sneered, "You believe her sweet words? She's probably ecstatic inside, thinking she can come back and fight for the family fortune."

"Yes. She saw that Li Kechuan had broken his leg, and of the three girls left in the manor, one was not his biological daughter, one had never grown up by his side, and the other was too young to be mentioned."

"She has two sons and two daughters. Although both daughters are married, her two sons have given her a total of eight grandsons and four granddaughters. How could she not be proud? In such a large general's mansion, she is surrounded by her children and grandchildren, while her grandmother is all alone. I don't know how proud she must be."

Li Qingluo walked in and sat down next to Madam Pei.

She was worried that her grandmother would be upset by Aunt Deng, so she wanted to come early to reassure her.

“Grandmother, you must remember that all your illegitimate sons and daughters, and even your illegitimate grandsons, must call you Grandmother. Aunt Deng is just Grandfather's aunt. Even though her bloodline has grown up by her side all these years, and no matter what they call her on the estate, when we return to the General's Mansion, the only mother and grandmother in this mansion can be you!”

Li Chaojing had just left in a huff, and naturally he hadn't gotten anything good from Old Madam Pei.

Li Chaojing didn't want to see Aunt Deng at all, but since it was his mother who had called her back, he could only accept it helplessly.

He, as the son, was only concerned with his own anger and didn't think at all about why Madam Pei did this.

Fortunately, Madam Pei now has a loving blood relative.

She patted Li Qingluo's hand: "Good, my good granddaughter. I know all about these things, so don't worry. I'm going to teach her a lesson; why would I be afraid of her bullying me again?"

"If you have some free time, why don't you stay here with your grandmother and wait for that old hag to come see me?"

Li Qingluo did not rush back to write.

When Aunt Deng arrived at Jingci Hall with her children and grandchildren, Madam Pei immediately sat up straight and straightened her back.

She instantly brought out the aura and imposing presence she had as a female general and the matriarch of the household.

Li Qinglu couldn't help but look at her grandmother with some eagerness. Wasn't her grandmother the epitome of a noble lady?

Never succumb to defeat and humiliation.

Unfortunately, she was too straightforward and intolerant of injustice back then, so she abandoned the general's mansion, left the husband she risked her life to save, and gave up the son she gave birth to with her life.

Now he is all alone, all by himself.

Fortunately, I will always be with my grandmother in this lifetime.

Li Qingluo gently took Madam Pei's arm, her eyes naturally revealing a sharp, cold light as she looked at the large group of people seated below.

As soon as Aunt Deng came in, she knelt down before Madam Pei.

The two illegitimate sons behind him, along with their families and children, all knelt down as well.

"This humble servant is Madam Deng, and I greet you, Madam."

"Sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, greet your mother and grandmother—"

Li Qingluo also accepted the greeting, and her imposing presence momentarily stunned Li Qingzhu and Madam Qu, who followed behind.

It was as if the person sitting in that high hall was not an orphan girl who had been separated from her family since childhood, but another young Madam Pei...

Aunt Deng knelt down beside Madam Pei, clutching her skirt and weeping, "Sister, you've finally agreed to see me. It was all my fault back then. I failed in my duty, which caused you and Jing'er to drift apart. I've felt guilty about this all these years, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers every day, trying to atone for my sins... Waaah..."

Madam Pei looked down at Aunt Deng's feigned concern and shook her head: "Aunt Deng, you look so plump and frail, you don't seem like someone who has always been frugal. And why do you look so old now?"

Aunt Deng's expression froze.

"I am in poor health, so I have been taking medicine for several years, which is why I have lost my appearance and figure. I have offended your eyes, Madam."

Madam Pei clicked her tongue twice. "Master's judgment back then wasn't very good. If he had known you would turn out like this, he probably would have changed his mind if he were still alive."

The series of humiliations nearly made Aunt Deng lose face.

How many years has it been since she was so humble and subservient, and even humiliated like this?
