Chapter 172 The Fake Heiress is Bullied by the Liu Family?

Liu Qingzhu was unaware of Prince Yun's thoughts and continued to weep, like a lovesick woman tormented by love but forced to suffer endless grievances.

“Your Highness, now that Zhu’er’s status is so low, she is no longer worthy to serve Your Highness…”

Prince Yun: "That's true."

Although she was a fake legitimate daughter in the past, she still held the title of the eldest legitimate daughter. He liked her, and the Li Chaojing couple seemed to dote on her as well. Therefore, Prince Yun was willing to deal with her and even engage in things like murder and arson.

But now that she has the surname Liu, she is truly of low status.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingzhu froze, her nose stung, and this time she was truly heartbroken and brought tears to her eyes.

"Yes... Your Highness, please, for the sake of Zhu'er serving you, please save Zhu'er's family!"

"From now on, Pearl will no longer bother you..."

Unexpectedly, Prince Yun grabbed Liu Qingzhu's head and forced her to look up at him.

Prince Yun coldly replied, "Did I say this matter was over?"

Prince Yun naturally stepped in to save the Liu family members.

However, he did not pay much attention to the Zhao family.

Many prominent families in Jinling City were watching this matter closely. The crimes of the Zhao family were truly heinous, arousing the resentment of the nobles, so he would not care about that old poisonous woman.

Afterwards, he ignored Liu Qingzhu and returned her to the Liu family.

When Liu Qingzhu experienced Prince Yun's indifference, her heart was completely broken.

She thought back to the past, when she was cherished and pampered by Li Kechuan and Zhuang Wei like a precious jewel. Which of them didn't treat her as the apple of their eye?

Later, Prince Yun also cherished her dearly.

She thought that she could win over Prince Yun's heart just as she had won over her brother and Sanlang.

Who would have thought that his tenderness and affection would disappear so quickly?

Now that she has fallen into the dust, he treats her nothing more than a toy!

It's impossible for Liu Qingzhu not to regret it.

If she hadn't impulsively offered herself that time, none of this would have happened!

She was truly confused, blinded by the visit of Li Qingluo from the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence.

Now, Sanlang has disappeared without a trace, and her brother has come to hate her.

She felt as bitter as if she had swallowed a bitter herb, and didn't even want to speak.

So much so that when Liu Qingzhu saw the Liu family members, she felt nothing, and even felt a bit disgusted.

Why do I have to be a descendant of their family?!

Why can't I be the general's real daughter?!

She felt as if all her energy had been drained, and in a daze, she followed the Liu family to a random place to stay.

But when she came to her senses and looked at her living environment, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

In the dilapidated courtyard, there are only two rooms, but more than a dozen people have to live there!

Are they crazy?

Under Liu Qingzhu's fierce opposition and crying, her biological mother, Wang, finally stepped forward and offered to pay for another, larger courtyard.

In the end, it was just an extra room, allowing Liu Qingzhu to sleep alone.

But the room was full of mold, and the bed was so hard that her whole body ached terribly.

Green Firefly found some straw for her to put underneath, so that she would be woken up if she turned over in her sleep in the middle of the night.

Aside from the time she was kidnapped, Liu Qingzhu had never suffered such hardship in her life.

She sat up crying in the middle of the night, only to be scolded by her two aunts in turn.

"You really think you're some rich girl?! Crying, crying, all you do is cry! You have a whole room to yourself, what's there to complain about?!"

"The noise kept the whole family awake all night. People should have a conscience! We've suffered terribly in prison these past few days, and who are we doing this for?"

"Now that you're back, you should accept the reality and live with your fate! Otherwise, you should rely on your own abilities to marry into the Prince Yun's mansion as soon as possible, so that you can have a life of wealth and honor again!"

Wang came out and begged her two younger siblings to be lenient with her words.

But deep down, Liu Qingzhu really disliked Wang Shi.

Although she was indeed quite pretty, and I looked very much like her, she was just too unsophisticated!

Moreover, perhaps due to years of hard work, his face was yellow and rough, completely incomparable to that of the Qu family, and they looked more like two generations apart.

This person turned out to be his own biological mother.

That Liu Da was even more appalling!

His skin was dark and rough, covered in wrinkles, his nose hairs were longer than his philtrum, and his teeth were yellow and dirty, as if they hadn't been cleaned for many years.

When he grinned at himself, there was a strong, strange smell that almost made Liu Qingzhu vomit.

When they first met, the two of them hugged me and cried.

"Pearl, my Pearl, I'm so glad to see you. Let me take a good look at you, my daughter. So this is what you look like."

"My dear daughter, you are truly as beautiful as an angel! You look exactly like your mother when she was young!"

"By the way, where's Sui'er? Why hasn't that wretched Sui'er come looking for us yet!?"

Liu Qingzhu then remembered her younger sister, Liu Suier.

She did come looking for me.

However, at that time, Liu Qingzhu was very annoyed with the Liu family, and once on the street, Sanlang mistook Liu Suier for himself.

That time, Liu Qingzhu took the opportunity to vent her anger and severely whipped Liu Sui'er.

Afterwards, didn't she tell Liu Jinzhi to quickly disfigure Liu Suier's face and then send her back to the mountains?

Did she not go back at all?

Liu Qingzhu asked a few probing questions, and to her surprise, it was true!

Liu Sui'er never went back after she arrived in Jinling!

Liu Qingzhu suddenly thought of something.

Who led Li Kechuan to Prince Yun's private residence in the first place?

Furthermore, a maid named Coral happened to appear beside her brother, who looked remarkably like her.

But why did she suddenly and inexplicably disappear again later?

That coral has never even shown itself to me. Who exactly is she?

The more Liu Qingzhu thought about it, the more horrified she felt, as if she were being entangled by something.

A deep sense of fear welled up inside her for no apparent reason. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Liu Sui'er was behind both of these incidents?

But how is that possible?!

How could a ignorant little bitch from the mountains possibly do these things?

But then Liu Qingzhu thought of Li Qingluo.

Didn't she also grow up in the mountains from a young age?

But Li Qingluo has ruined herself to this state; her scheming is deep and ruthless, and she should not be underestimated.

This incident sent a chill down Liu Qingzhu's spine. She dared not think about it any further and did not want to stay with her parents any longer, so she made an excuse and went back to her room.

But the longer she stayed at the Liu family's house, the more she felt like she was going crazy!

The whole family has to squeeze together to eat.

The sounds of a child crying, a woman talking and laughing, a man shouting... and the stench of feet filling the room...

Especially Liu Yuanbao.

He's the only grandson in his family, who are all daughters, so the whole family dotes on him.

In this house, he could do whatever he wanted, throwing tantrums and doing bad things without anyone stopping him!

While eating, he would reach into his own bowl and grab meat, or grab vegetables and throw them at the faces of the other girls.

Or, he would rush over as soon as he saw her, insisting that Liu Qingzhu hug him, or he would make her lie down and ride him.

Liu Qingzhu naturally wouldn't comply with him, and even pushed him away forcefully with disdain.

Liu Yuanbao tripped and fell to the ground, crying loudly, which attracted the whole family to run out and see.

"What's going on?"

"Hey, Yuanbao, who made you cry?"

Liu Yuanbao pointed at Liu Qingzhu and complained, "She pushed me. Waaah, she wouldn't let me ride a horse and she pushed me, waaah..."

Liu Qingzhu cursed at him: "Why should I let you ride a horse? You want me to be your horse? You don't even know what you are! Get out!"

"I won't go easy on you here!"

Liu Qingzhu glared fiercely at Liu Yuanbao, which terrified Liu Yuanbao, who had never suffered such an injustice before.

But the next second, as if provoked, Liu Yuanbao jumped up again and charged towards Liu Qingzhu like a bull—

Liu Qingzhu cried out "Ah!" If Wang hadn't rushed over and hugged Liu Qingzhu tightly, who knows what the consequences would have been.

Liu Yuanbao punched and kicked Wang Shi, and not a single member of the family stopped him.

The others watched Liu Qingzhu with amusement, their expressions a mix of amusement and disbelief.

"Your mother did all this for you."

"Yes, Pearl, you must take good care of your mother in the future."

Liu Qingzhu looked as if she had seen a ghost, turned around and quickly hid inside the house, ignoring Wang's screams outside.

She felt that this family was not quite normal.

After Zhao died, she was thrown into a mass grave.

However, none of the Liu family members suggested taking her body for a proper burial, as if they were extremely afraid of getting involved with her and causing some trouble.

While there was some truth to this, the Liu family did not suggest secretly holding a funeral for her at home, nor did they set up a memorial tablet.

Not to mention there might be some cenotaphs.

Since the Liu family didn't bring it up themselves, Liu Qingzhu wouldn't do anything that would be unpleasant, even though it was Zhao who had swapped her for the General's Mansion back then.

But now that her true identity has been exposed, isn't it because she wasn't discreet enough back then?

She originally thought she could just endure it for now and find a way to see Prince Yun again. As long as he continued to cherish her, she didn't want to stay in the Liu family for another day.

But that day, Liu Qingzhu was about to go to sleep when she suddenly felt like there was someone outside the door.

When Green Firefly came and opened the door, she saw Liu Yuanbao, who was already seven or eight years old, peeking through the crack in the door.

Enraged, Liu Qingzhu went out, grabbed Liu Yuanbao, and slapped him hard across the face.

"You little rascal! I'm your own sister! How dare you peek at me? Are you even human?!"

After being slapped, Liu Yuanbao burst into tears and started wailing, even opening his mouth to bite Liu Qingzhu.

Liu Qingzhu pulled him to the ground and then kicked him several times.

Before she could vent her anger, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the room. Before Liu Qingzhu could see who it was, she was slapped to the ground again.

"You slut! What do you want to do? Are you trying to kill our only son? You shameless little vile woman, I knew you didn't grow up in this house, and you're not on our side!"

"If anything happens to my precious baby, I'll skin you alive!"
