Chapter 147 The older brother grabbed the fake heiress by the neck!

Li Qingzhu was forced to kneel on the ground.

Now that things have come to this, she knows it's no use pretending to be weak and innocent anymore.

Anyway, these people already hate her to the core.

She couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What exactly did I do wrong?

"Why don't you tell me what I did wrong?"

"I was just pursuing what I truly wanted, and I was just giving everything back to Li Qingluo. Was all of that wrong?"

"My brother's leg injury is his own fault for trespassing on His Highness's private residence. He brought it upon himself. What does it have to do with me!"

"And back then at the cliff of Guanshui, it was my mother who chose me herself. Did I force her to choose me?"

"It was you who were biased towards me. It was you who shifted the blame for my death onto Li Qingluo. Should I bear the responsibility for these mistakes as well?"

“This time, it’s one thing that you didn’t protect me at the Princess’s residence, but it was clearly my brother who almost poisoned my voice, yet you still acted as if nothing had happened and tried to cover it up.”

"In the end, the one you love most is still this eldest son! Otherwise, considering what he did to Li Qingluo, isn't he deserving of being kneeled in the ancestral hall a hundred times?!"

"Even if I can still speak now, His Highness has already rejected my voice. I will never have a pleasant voice again in my life. How can I possibly forgive and forget?!"

"If I don't be braver, His Highness will really abandon me. Anyway, I'll be His Highness's person sooner or later..."

"You bitch!"

Li Kechuan, leaning on his cane, quickly walked over and grabbed Li Qingzhu by the neck.

"What did you say?"

"I brought this on myself? Everything I've done has nothing to do with you, right? Li Qingzhu, is that it?!"

Li Kechuan's eyes were bloodshot, and a deep hatred finally shone through them.

Madam Pei: "Drag him away!"

Li Kechuan was pulled away forcefully, and he let out bursts of wild laughter.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha... Ahahahaha—Ah!! Ah—!!"

He frantically broke free from everyone, but accidentally fell to the ground.

Everyone gasped.

Seeing Li Kechuan in such a disheveled state, no one dared to step forward and help him up.

Even Madam Qu could only cry out in anguish, "Chuan'er!"

Then Li Chaojing grabbed his arm tightly, preventing him from going forward.

"Has he gone mad?"

"I think he's been insane for a long time..."

Veins bulged on Li Chaojing's forehead. He thought of Li Kechuan's outrageous words at Minglou today. Fortunately, apart from them, no one else in the world heard them, not even Li Qingzhu knew!

Otherwise, if these words were to get out, it would be an even more unbearable blow to the General's Mansion!

With a hardened heart, Li Chaojing said, "Help the eldest young master up! Take him aside and watch him! Let him see today what kind of mind this wicked child has bewitched our family of three."

Li Kechuan was dragged away amidst maniacal laughter.

One leg was dangling empty, he looked disheveled, his face contorted in a grimace, looking as pathetic as a stray dog.

Li Chaojing turned his head away.

He knew that his eldest son was completely ruined!

Looking at her son's expression, Madam Pei sighed inwardly.

Back then, wasn't he also a scourge to me?

See? He's finally reaping the consequences of his past actions.

Madam Pei wasn't heartbroken, but rather overwhelmed with a complex mix of emotions.

She patted the armrest, drawing all her attention back to the railing.

“Li Qingzhu, not only are you unrepentant, but you are also incredibly eloquent! You try to exonerate yourself by making excuses and your words are all correct, but why did you leave behind that suicidal letter to mislead everyone when you faked your death by self-immolation?”

"Because of that letter, your parents and brother cruelly pinned all the blame on Luo'er. You already took sixteen years of Luo'er's life, and because of your scheming, she was hated by her biased parents even before she entered the manor. Isn't this your trick?"

"And what about the lives of those dozen or so servants? In your eyes, they were nothing but weeds, deserving to be killed by you and not worth mentioning?"

"You watched as the General's Mansion held a lavish funeral for you, why are you so heartless as to refuse to come out and tell the truth?"

"I heard that you were in that private residence on the day Li Kechuan broke his leg, but you knew that your brother caused this disaster because he was looking for you, so why didn't you show yourself?"

"You clearly went to Prince Yun's private residence to hide after faking your death by self-immolation, but you fabricated a lie, saying that you were kidnapped by human traffickers. It's despicable!"

"Now, for your own selfish desires, you've committed such a despicable act, seducing the prince and losing your virginity! You've ruined the entire family's daughters, even five-year-old Huan'er's purity has been tainted by you, and what do you have to say about that?!"

Old Madam Pei asked questions one by one, and then imposed accusations one by one.

Li Qingzhu's face also turned pale inch by inch.

"I...I am Prince Yun's man...You, you can't punish me..."

She knelt on the ground, trembling all over, like a frightened fawn.

They look so pitiful.

But no one present felt any sympathy for her anymore.

She single-handedly ruined the reputations of all the unmarried women in the General's Mansion, and everyone hated her.

Looking into those eyes fixed on her, Li Qingzhu finally became afraid.

"No, no...you can't..."

Everyone shouted in unison, "We beg the old lady to make a decision on this matter! Save the reputation of our entire household!"

"I implore Mother to make a decision on this matter! Save the reputation of my General's Mansion!"

"Please, Grandmother, decide this matter! Please save our lives..."

Madam Pei slammed her hand on the armrest: "If that's the case, then kill her! A white silk ribbon or a cup of poison, Li Qingzhu, the choice is yours!"

"Only if you die a clean break will all the girls in our General's Mansion be spared from having their innocence tarnished by you!"

"Our entire General's Mansion will not be disgraced by you again!"

Li Qingzhu cried out, "No! I can't die! I belong to His Highness Prince Yun! He said that in a month you must send me to Prince Yun's residence. His Highness dotes on me, and I will surely become his most favored woman. I will have a bright future ahead of me—"

Madam Pei: "Shut her mouth! I've never seen such a shameless little hussy!"

"He's not even married yet, but he's already spouting lewd words about women and their affection. He's so shameless that it makes everyone around him feel ashamed."

"This is the eldest daughter raised in the General's Mansion! Give her ten lashes first, then drag her into the ancestral hall and make her kneel properly!"

The servant who stepped forward with the family law in hand replied, "Yes, sir!"

Soon, Li Qingzhu's muffled groans could be faintly heard.

Li Kechuan stared intently at this scene, and as he stared, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He didn't know whether he felt heartache or pain.

He didn't even know whether he felt more love or hatred for Li Qingzhu at that moment.

He felt his blood surging, and he could no longer control the metallic taste in his throat...

After ten blows, Li Qingzhu was unconscious.

Ms. Qu kept shedding tears, seemingly feeling a pang of heartache.

Madam Pei didn't even bother to look, only saying, "Is this the precious child you raised with such care? You really know how to raise a child!"

Ms. Qu blushed instantly and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Li Chaojing paid little attention to Madam Qu and came over to say, "Mother, I will bring a white silk ribbon tonight and end her life myself!"
