Chapter 148 Recounts All the Injustices the Real Heiress Suffered After Returning Home

Upon hearing Li Chaojing's words, many people present, including Madam Pei and Li Qingluo, felt a chill run down their spines and shivered violently!

Li Qingluo: As expected, Li Chaojing is still the most ruthless!

Based on the fact that Li Qingzhu burned more than a dozen servants to death, although she certainly deserved to die, she was still his eldest daughter whom he had raised with his own hands. He had loved her like a precious jewel for so many years, and now he could just kill her without a second thought.

Judging from his resolute tone, he clearly did not want to leave any room for negotiation.

It's one thing for them to be mediocre, but he was so decisive!

His ruthlessness and decisiveness instilled a sense of fear in Li Qingluo.

Indeed, the most ruthless are always the men in this world.

Seeing the strange looks directed at him, Li Chaojing quickly explained, "Mother is right. Keeping this scourge around will only bring shame to the entire General's Mansion. Sooner or later, it will implicate and kill the girls, ruining their reputations and disgracing the whole family."

"If she doesn't die, the General's Mansion will become a laughing stock in the entire city of Jinling!"

Li Qing stood aside, thinking to himself: When did the General's Mansion become a joke in Jinling City?

Since Li Kechuan broke his leg and Li Qingzhu came back from the dead, the entire General's Mansion has been treated with utmost care.

The General's Mansion has long been a laughing stock in the entire city of Jinling.

Of course, all of this was the result of Li Qingluo's meticulous planning and manipulation.

This, too, is her revenge.

She wanted to tear off all the fig leaves of the General's Mansion and let the world see how hypocritical they were.

But after meeting some people and experiencing things, she realized that in the grand mansions of Jinling City, not only was the General's Mansion filthy and rotten, but every household was only outwardly glamorous and beautiful.

In reality, they were all utterly corrupt.

Madam Pei: "What's the rush? Since you want me to handle this matter today, you have to listen to me!"

"Purge the inner quarters; it's not just about purging Li Qingzhu alone!"

As she spoke, Madam Pei's gaze first fell on Li Chaojing.

It's as if it's saying: You're the first one!

Li Chaojing lowered his head in shame: "Mother, your son knows he was wrong, he really knows he was wrong."

"It was my son and Madam Qu who spoiled her too much in the past, otherwise all this wouldn't have happened. My son is really..."

Regardless of what he did to his mother in the past, or all that happened later, Li Chaojing truly regretted it.

Madam Pei gave a cold laugh: "No, you haven't really admitted your mistake. Luo'er, come here! Come to your grandmother."

Li Qingluo slowly walked over, "Grandmother."

She had intended to remain invisible all day, but it seems her grandmother didn't share that view.

Madam Pei grabbed Li Qingluo's hand.

"Back then, when I accompanied Luo'er down the mountain to return home, what awaited her was not a joyous celebration throughout the mansion, but Li Qingzhu's schemes and plots, your scolding, humiliation, neglect, and blame!"

"You all blame Luo'er for Li Qingzhu's death, when she was clearly the most innocent one! She was switched at birth and forced to suffer in the mountains!"

"Those hands are rougher and more unsightly than those who practice martial arts year-round! She was born a fair-skinned and delicate beauty, but over the years, the wind and sun have made her skin look worse than that of the servants in the mansion!"

"I raised her carefully, and look, this is how she should be now!"

"But what if I weren't there? Would you just let her be tormented like this?"

“When she first returned to the manor, the three of you were all incredibly ruthless, treating her like an enemy, wishing you could tear her apart and torture her to death!”

"She's your own flesh and blood, your own sister!"

"But how did you treat her? You made her kneel in the mourning hall for Li Qingzhu, made her kowtow and apologize to Li Qingzhu, made her cut flesh to make medicine, and even tried to sever her tendons! You made her get injured repeatedly!"

"They threw the food she cooked to feed the dogs, and when she went to pay her respects, they avoided her with disgust! Her father was nowhere to be found either, and when Li Kechuan did something bad, he blamed it on Luo'er!"

"If this child weren't so strong, wouldn't he have been tortured to death by you long ago, his heart broken?"

"On the cliff, her own mother didn't choose her."

"At home, her brother repeatedly antagonized her and wanted to kill her!"

“Her own father beat her yesterday; look at her face, there's still a mark on it!”

"I feel so sorry for this child. She has already suffered so much in her short sixteen years of life. How can she have to face a life worse than hell when she comes home?"

As Madam Pei spoke, tears truly streamed down her face.

Li Qingluo quickly knelt down, first wiping away Madam Pei's tears, then tightly holding Madam Pei's hand: "Grandmother, Luo'er has let go, please don't be sad for Luo'er."

Li Qinglu smiled, trying to comfort Madam Pei.

Madam Pei patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Grandmother has been through this! The wounds inflicted by family members take a lifetime to heal! Do you think you can still fool your grandmother?"

Li Qinglu choked up and couldn't say anything.

The people from the second and third wives started whispering among themselves.

I never expected that Li Qing would suffer so much after returning to the manor. I never expected that the masters in the General's Mansion would be so heartless as to do such things.

Li Qingya even had tears in her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness for Li Qingluo.

So, the reason why my second sister is always somewhat distant and indifferent to people is because she has suffered too much hurt.

My aunt, uncle, and cousin are truly heartless!

All eyes turned to them, and Qu Shi and Li Chaojing felt extremely uncomfortable, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Listening to what Madam Pei said, they naturally felt a little flustered. Gradually, some events and scenes after Li Qingluo returned appeared before their eyes, and a wave of shame and guilt surged into their hearts.

"Luo'er! Mother... Mother really didn't mean it... Mother... was wrong!"

Since that incident at Guanshui Cliff, Qu's attitude towards Li Qingluo had changed somewhat. After seeing her adopted daughter's true colors again today, and being pointed at by her mother-in-law and told word by word, Qu felt so guilty that she almost fainted.

What on earth did she do?!

This is her own flesh and blood!

Back then, she too was pregnant for ten months, and she was also full of anticipation for her birth.

How can we forget all this just because she was taken away by evil people when she was a child?

She should have grown up by my side all these years!

Yet she still treated Luo'er like this...

The more Qu thought about it, the more she couldn't pull herself out of the pain of grief and regret. Her legs went weak, she knelt on the ground, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and began to cry.

Although Li Chaojing knew they had failed their own daughter, Li Qingluo.

But if you ask him to admit his mistake, he would never do so.

Putting aside the fact that so many people were watching, what kind of logic is there in this world for parents to apologize to their children?
