Chapter 158 The Fake Heiress's Real Parents Came to Demand Her!

Before long, the onlookers all understood.

"Are they the biological parents of the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?"

"I've heard about the story of the girl being switched back then, but the Li family even claimed that it was twins. It's all over the place that the eldest daughter was actually the midwife's granddaughter!"

"Huh!? Really? What about the real daughter of a military family?"

"They were sent to a midwife's house to suffer."

"Oh, how pitiful, what a tragedy. This midwife isn't dead yet?"

Not only is he not dead, but he's now standing menacingly in front of the general's mansion, demanding his release.

Everyone was stunned.

"The General's Mansion can tolerate this?"

"Yes, back then, this midwife did such a thing, why didn't the General's Mansion investigate?"

"I heard it's because of the eldest daughter's sake, so as not to make things difficult for her."

"How stupid. They've practically shit on your head, and you still won't wipe it off. You can swallow this humiliation. No wonder you're a general's mansion."

The surrounding area erupted in laughter.

"What's so strange about that? There have been countless bizarre things happening in the General's Mansion in the past six months. First, the eldest daughter committed suicide by self-immolation. Even though a funeral had been held, she suddenly appeared and said that she was not dead, but had just gone to recuperate and avoid disaster."

"Later, on the day of the General's wife's birthday banquet, the eldest son had his leg cut off at Prince Yun's private residence!"

"I heard a while ago that the young lady at the princess's residence even caused the death of the imperial heir!"

"Just two days ago, I heard that she and Prince Yun were in Minglou again, doing *that* kind of thing in a room..."

"Ah!!? Heavenly Bodhisattva, after what happened, how can the other girls in the General's Mansion ever face anyone again?"

"No, that's why the General's Mansion has been closed for several days. How could they dare to come out and see anyone!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, why don't we all just hang ourselves with a rope in front of the door?"

"So the best way to preserve the reputation of the whole family is to let that young lady commit suicide to atone for her sins. Once she's dead, it will be over and the other girls will be cleared of all charges."

But judging from the commotion at the General's Mansion, it seems that the young lady is still alive.

Moreover, this young woman's real family members have actually dared to come to her door demanding her return.

The people craned their necks, all wanting to know how the General's Mansion would react.

Li Chaojing was so angry that his face turned green.

"They still have the nerve to come and demand my daughter back then?! They were so audacious as to exchange a lowly commoner for my own daughter, and now their lowly bloodline has disgraced the entire Li family. This general is waiting to hold the Liu family accountable!"

"Since they dare to come this time, I, the general, will make sure they don't leave alive!"

Li Chaojing was too ashamed to go to Jingci Hall to invite Old Madam Pei.

These past few days, his desire to kill Li Qingzhu has grown stronger, but he has always been stopped by his mother.

My mother said we should wait for the right opportunity, otherwise it could lead to future problems.

He thought it was just killing a wicked child, and that she deserved to die!

But he had indeed overlooked the fact that the Liu family would one day come knocking on his door.

That's perfect. It's time for their General's Mansion to settle this score with the Liu family!

When Madam Qu arrived in a panic, Li Chaojing led a group of servants and attendants to greet her in a menacing manner.

"Open the door—"

"Arrest all those unruly commoners!"

Ancestral hall.

When Li Qingzhu heard Lüying say that the Liu family was crying and shouting at the door, demanding to see her, she couldn't help but show excitement on her snow-white face: "Lüying, you have to think of a way to get me out of here!"

“Everyone in this general’s mansion wants me dead. Besides my father, the other day, the people from the second and third branches of the family came to make trouble, saying that if I don’t die, none of the women in the family will be able to live.”

"I'm not a blood relative of this family after all. After the incident, instead of thinking about how to protect me, they all wanted to force me to my death to preserve their own reputations!"

"Look at the face of this general's mansion, how ugly, hateful, and selfish they are!"

"But I, Li Qingzhu, will not let them have their way. I refuse to die!"

Li Qingzhu's face flashed with a crazy stubbornness. She felt as if she was struggling in a quagmire, about to emerge from the mud unsullied, and finally to bloom in fragrance.

She grabbed Green Firefly as if she were grasping at a lifeline: "Good Green Firefly, did you deliver the letter you helped me deliver yesterday?"

Green Firefly: "Don't worry, Miss, it was sent out yesterday. I went around asking around and finally found a chance to sneak out through the dog hole, and then personally delivered the letter to Prince Yun's residence."

"If His Highness sees this, he will surely come to save you."

"Don't worry, young lady. Let me think of a way, and I will definitely take you out to see the Liu family."

After saying that, Green Firefly got up and walked outside.

Li Qingzhu watched her retreating figure with anticipation, and even after the door was tightly closed, she was still reluctant to look away.

Green Firefly hadn't gone far; she was still under the courtyard wall outside the ancestral hall.

Sparrow came to see her in person.

"Sister Sparrow, are we really going to let her out?"

Sparrow patted Green Firefly: "I know you hate her and wish she were really dead this time. But you still have a use for her, so please bear with it a little longer."

Green Firefly nodded obediently: "Yes, this servant understands. This time, this servant followed the young lady's instructions and deliberately came to take care of her. To be honest, seeing the suffering that Li Qingzhu has endured, I actually feel more relieved than if I had seen her die directly!"

"She doesn't know that this time she used a special wound medicine. Even if the wounds on her back and buttocks heal, they will leave scars for life, which will never be removed no matter how expensive the ointment is."

"She's still dreaming of becoming Prince Yun's favorite concubine. Ha, I'll watch how she falls completely from grace and never gets back up!"

Sparrow: "Did you give her the medicine I told you to give her?"

Green Firefly smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Sparrow. I give her a big bowl of it every day, mixed in with the medicine. I clean out all the dregs, so no one will know."

Sparrow: "Did she even realize it herself?"

Green Firefly: "These past two days she's been bleeding and her lower abdomen has been hurting occasionally. I've been comforting her, telling her it's because she was hit too hard with the paddle."

As she spoke, Green Firefly revealed an extremely wicked smile.

"Li Qingzhu never dreamed that she would never be able to conceive anyone's child again in her lifetime!"

Therefore, this also cut off her path of trying to gain favor through offspring in the future.

Que'er: "Moreover, even the most skilled doctors wouldn't be able to detect the effects of the medicine she used during subsequent consultations. The longer it goes on, the less likely anyone will discover the truth."

Green Firefly's face gleamed with a crazed light, the excitement and joy of finally getting revenge.

Seeing her like this, Que'er couldn't help but admonish her: "Remember, all of this must remain a secret! And you must never let anyone else know about your relationship with our young lady!"

Green Firefly: "Sister Sparrow, don't worry, you are my benefactor. Even if I die, I will keep this a secret. Besides, I did all these things myself, what does it have to do with you?"

After saying this, Green Firefly smiled and resolutely turned to leave.

In front of the general's mansion, all members of the Liu family were arrested.

Liu Yuanbao is the apple of his family's eye; he has never suffered like this before.

Even though she was tied up, she immediately started crying and screaming, twisting and turning in place: "Father, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma, please save me, please save me—"

"Waaaaah, I don't want to be tied up, it hurts—"

"Didn't you say you were bringing me here to find my biological older sister? You said you were bringing me to Jinling City to enjoy a life of luxury, to eat big fish and meat, and to wear fine silks and satins, but what's going on here?!"

"Waaaah, let me go, you bastards—I'll have my sister kill you all—"

As Liu Yuanbao shouted, he frightened the Liu family members so much that their faces turned pale.

"Yuanbao, what nonsense are you spouting? Shut up right now!"

"Yuanbao, my dear grandson, you've suffered so much..."

The Liu family members are much more obedient now.

After all, Li Chaojing's aura was quite intimidating.

Moreover, when they heard that they were going to be sent to the authorities, they all fell silent, but then Yuanbao blurted out everything.

When Mrs. Zhao of the Liu family was young, she gave birth to three sons, but to everyone's surprise, all three sons gave birth to worthless maids. Only the eldest son gave birth to Liu Yuanbao.

So now, Liu Yuanbao is the only lifeline of the entire Liu family!

He was spoiled rotten from a young age.

When he was a child, he wanted to ride on Li Qingluo's shoulders, but Li Qingluo refused because she was too thin and had never eaten enough, so she couldn't support the obese Liu Yuanbao.

But if she dared to say 'no,' she would surely be subjected to a brutal beating.

It's the kind of condition that won't get better for ten days or half a month.

Later on, he could ride whenever he wanted, and he had to lie on the ground and be his slave.

As Liu Yuanbao grew older, he treated Li Qingluo more like a servant, beating and scolding her as he pleased without anyone interfering.

Sometimes, when he got stubborn, he would punch his own mother, and Old Lady Liu and the others wouldn't take it seriously.

As time went on, Liu Yuanbao became less and less intelligent.

Li Qingluo walked out, stared at Liu Yuanbao, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, he's still just a child, so pitiful. How could you really do that? He's the young lady's own brother, let him go!"

The Liu family members were the most reluctant to let Yuanbao suffer. Seeing him complain, they all felt heartbroken.

Suddenly, a fairy-like girl walked out of the general's mansion and ordered Yuanbao to be released. The Liu family was immediately filled with gratitude.

They didn't even realize that this was Liu Cao'er, whom they had abused and mistreated for over a decade.

Zhao felt that someone had finally come along who was willing to help, so she quickly seized the opportunity and cried out again, "Young lady, please save my whole family!"

"The old woman confessed to everything that happened back then; it was all her fault!"

"It was my greed for wealth and status that led me to want my granddaughter to live the same good life as the general's family. That's why I was blinded by greed and committed such a terrible crime!"

"But my children, grandchildren, and family members were all unaware of this!"

"If you're going to arrest someone, arrest the old woman alone!!"
