Chapter 184 The New Concubine Has Entered the General's Mansion? The Scumbag Mother Has Gone Mad!

Li Chaojing's face was ashen, but Li Qingluo didn't even look at him. She lifted her skirt and pounced on Old Madam Pei.

"grandmother!"

She hugged Madam Pei tightly, and the two of them embraced each other, as if they had both found a place where their souls belonged, and only then did they feel at ease.

Having survived this ordeal, Li Qingluo spent the entire night hanging on the cliff. Her only worry was what would happen to her grandmother if she were to die by accident.

If she were to fall off a cliff and be smashed to pieces, she would die, but who would her grandmother care about in this world?

She was afraid that her grandmother would be too heartbroken because of her, so she relied on her grandmother for much of her emotional support.

"Grandmother, Luo'er wants to tell you..."

Li Qingluo took Old Madam Pei's arm and they entered the house.

Nowadays, they don't even bother with the formal greetings to Li Chaojing and Lady Qu.

Although Qu looked dejected, she kept staring intently at Li Qingluo's back, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Li Chaojing angrily pointed at her back: "Li Qingluo! You—what kind of behavior is this?! I am still your biological father! Don't think that just because your grandmother protects you, you can act lawlessly. Now you don't even recognize me as your father anymore?"

Madam Qu pulled him back: "Master, Mother is still in front, so please say less."

“Luo’er has only just returned, and she must have been quite frightened these past two days. Even if you want to act like a father, you should wait a couple of days before doing so.”

"Besides, didn't Princess Qinyu just explain? She forgot Luo'er's request and forgot to come to the General's Mansion to report the news."

Li Chaojing shoved Qu aside, saying, "You're here today to speak up for her!"

"Mrs. Qu, this is the wonderful daughter you gave birth to!"

Li Chaojing pointed at Madam Qu, his face full of anger: "Ever since Liu Qingzhu left the General's Mansion, she's increasingly disregarded us, her parents. And you, on the contrary, have spoiled her. What, are you now thinking about how to please her?!"

"Mr. Qu, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Right at the gate of the General's Mansion, Madam Qu was treated so badly by him that she lost face.

"you!"

She blushed and looked around, her eyes reddening.

“Husband, now that we’ve seen Zhu’er’s true colors, can’t we treat Luo’er with the same sincerity we used to treat Zhu’er?”

"Don't scheme against her or take advantage of her. If you're sincere, how could she not recognize us?"

“I only had one son and one daughter. My son is in such a state now, living like a ghost in his room all day long. My only healthy daughter is left…”

"We've already missed out on more than a decade of our lives. Now that I want to treat her sincerely, how does that become having ulterior motives?!"

"Unlike the master, who can still take a young concubine, he'll surely have other children in the future..."

As she said this, a hint of resentment crept into Qu's eyes.

A hint of unease appeared on Li Chaojing's face.

What nonsense are you spouting here?

Madam Qu: "Master is becoming increasingly impatient with me. He ignores Chuan'er and is always angry with Luo'er. Isn't it because Master just took a new concubine into the household?"

The truth that Qu Shi uttered finally made Li Chaojing feel more ashamed and annoyed.

"you--!"

He raised his hand; if this weren't the main gate of the general's mansion, he would have already thrown it down.

"Nonsense, jealous woman! I'm warning you, if Mian'er suffers any injustice in front of you, don't blame me for turning against you without mercy!"

After saying this, Li Chaojing turned and left.

Madam Qu staggered backward; if it weren't for Granny Chang supporting her, she wouldn't have been able to stand on her own.

With red eyes and a bitter smile, Ms. Qu said, "I was his wife for twenty years! I bore him children and took care of everything at home for him."

“I know I’m not particularly smart, and I know I’ve done some things that have wronged him, but haven’t I also worked hard all these years without any merit?”

"Now my son is crippled, my daughter doesn't recognize us... and this is how he treats me?!"

"If it weren't for the Qu family back then, what kind of good family would he have been able to marry?"

"My Qu family has helped him quite a bit over the years, hasn't it?"

"How could he turn his back on me so heartlessly!"

"He really is... he really is the old general's own son! They're all heartless and ungrateful!"

Granny Chang was so frightened she almost died, wishing she could cover her mistress's mouth.

"Madam, please stop talking, please stop talking..."

"Guards! The lady is unwell! Quickly help her back to Chunzaitang!"

Li Qingluo was unaware of what had happened at the back door after she left, but she did encounter Li Chaojing's new concubine in the garden.

Her body moved like a willow in the breeze, her movements as gentle as a breeze.

Her face was as beautiful as a blooming flower, and she possessed a myriad of charms.

It seems that the people sent by Granny Deng did not train her in vain.

But when did this Liu Mian'er enter the manor?

Upon seeing Madam Pei and Li Qingluo, Liu Mian'er immediately knelt down to pay her respects, saying, "This humble servant greets Madam Pei and Miss Li Qingluo."

Li Qinglu acted as if she had never seen her before, and deliberately asked, "This is..."

Madam Pei glared at her: "Your father's new concubine, Consort Liu."

The meaning in Madam Pei's eyes was very clear: Don't you know how your father got this concubine?

Li Qinglu smiled but remained silent.

It turned out that Grandmother knew about this.

However, she did not stop him from doing anything, which made Li Qingluo very happy.

Upon returning to Jingci Hall, as soon as she entered the courtyard, Granny Deng and Que'er knelt down and excitedly called out to her, "Miss—!!"

Seeing how haggard the two looked, Li Qingluo was startled.

She immediately rushed over and hugged the two women, her heart aching with concern: "Get up quickly! Grandmother, what happened to Luo'er this time has nothing to do with them. If they could stay with Luo'er, they would never have abandoned her! It's just that the situation at the time was... somewhat special, and they had no choice."

Li Qingluo was even quite glad that the two of them hadn't come with her to see Prince Su that day.

Otherwise, if we had encountered the situation that night, we probably wouldn't have survived.

The three of them, master and servant, hugged each other, and seeing that they were all safe and sound, tears welled up in their eyes.

Madam Pei glared angrily: "Old Deng, you tell me yourself! I'll make you and your grandson kneel down!"

Granny Deng wiped her eyes and quickly said, "No, no, no. Of course, the old lady didn't make this old servant and Que'er kneel. We wanted to kneel ourselves. We were worried about the young lady and couldn't eat or sleep. This made us feel more at ease."

"Now that you're back, young lady, please get up. Don't misunderstand the old lady."

Madam Pei: "Did you hear that? How dare I touch your people? You'd be furious with me if you came back!"

Li Qingluo then smiled and got up to tightly hold Madam Pei's arm: "Grandmother, I misunderstood this matter. I will punish myself. Whatever Grandmother wants, I will do!"

Madam Pei: "What do I want? All I want is for you to live a good life, and don't frighten your grandmother like that again!"

Prince Su's Mansion.

In the magnificent and luxurious bedchamber, Prince Su lay on the couch, vigorously rubbing his temples.

Several doctors knelt on the ground and came forward one by one to take his pulse, their faces solemn.

Sha Lei, Leng Dian, and their attendant, Eunuch Wu, stood nervously to the side, growing anxious as they watched the doctors hesitate to give their diagnoses.

Eunuch Wu immediately lost his temper: "What kind of poison has my prince been poisoned with that is so difficult to diagnose?"

"Or are you all quacks, so you can't tell the difference at all?"

"A bunch of useless trash! Our Prince summoned you all here, feeding and caring for you in the Prince's mansion, claiming you were all more skilled than the imperial physicians, yet you can't even diagnose a minor poison..."

The leading physician, Doctor Du, stepped forward tremblingly and replied, "Your Highness, the poison you have been afflicted with this time... is datura poison that originated from the Western Regions."

Leng Dian was taken aback: "Datura poison?"

Doctor Du: "Could it be that Guard Leng Dian also knows what kind of poison this is?"

Leng Dian: "Your Highness, I do indeed know about this poison, because my parents and brothers all died from it. I have been investigating this poison for several years, so I happen to be quite familiar with it."

Sha Lei and Eunuch Wu exchanged a surprised glance, truly not expecting that Leng Dian's past was so tragic.

Prince Su: "This poison is extremely potent?"

Leng Dian nodded: "It is said that this poison is one of the ten most powerful poisons in the Western Regions. It is said that nine out of ten people who are poisoned by this poison will die, and even if the other person is lucky enough to survive, he will be poisoned into a mentally unstable idiot."

"If Your Highness were poisoned, you wouldn't be so lucid right now. Besides, the poison should have taken effect long ago!"

"How dare you! Are you all completely unable to diagnose the true nature of the poison in His Highness's body, and seeing that His Highness is temporarily unharmed, are you just trying to deceive His Highness by arbitrarily using the name of this poison?"

The renowned doctors, led by Dr. Du, cried out that they were wronged.

Doctor Du: "This poison is indeed as Leng Dian said, extremely potent. We are also puzzled as to why His Highness appears so healthy, yet currently only experiences some dizziness and lightheadedness."

"But we did examine Your Highness's injuries just now. The area where you were poisoned has turned completely purple, and after feeling your pulse and observing your complexion, there is still a considerable amount of residual poison in your body, but Your Highness..."

"There is only one explanation now: someone treated His Highness in time. Judging from the herbs applied to His Highness's wound, the right medicine must have been used, which is why His Highness was able to suppress the poison temporarily."

Everyone immediately turned to look at Duan Rongshi.

Sha Lei and Leng Dian were secretly astonished: Could it be Miss Li?

But how could she possibly know any medical skills?

Or was there someone else who saved the prince's life between the prince and Miss Li?

Duan Rongshi, however, only stared at a hexagonal hidden weapon in his palm.

"This is the hidden weapon that injured me. Do you have any way to completely remove the remaining poison from my body?"

Doctor Du took the concealed weapon and examined it: "We will certainly give it our all! However, we must ask Your Highness, what symptoms occurred during this process?"

"Furthermore, Your Highness's wound and surrounding area were treated extremely cleanly in a timely manner, so the flesh did not continue to rot. The herbs applied to the wound were also quite appropriate. We have a couple of questions we would like to ask this divine physician..."

Duan Rongshi: "A miracle doctor?"

He raised an eyebrow, then smiled slightly and shook his head.

Kill Thunder, Cold Lightning, and Eunuch Wu: !!!

His Highness smiled?

His Highness actually smiled!!

Whom did Your Highness think of?

This is so weird!

His Highness's laughter is even more frightening than his lack of laughter!

Duan Rongshi ignored everyone's horror and said calmly, "There's no need to see this person. She's not some kind of miracle doctor. My survival is indeed thanks to her, but it's all just a coincidence."

"As for the symptoms, I may have... stopped breathing and lost my body temperature at one point."

"Also, this medicine bottle I have is empty. If I'm not mistaken, I should have taken the whole bottle of this medicine."

Everyone was utterly shocked: !!

Your Highness, you are truly difficult to kill.
