Chapter 259 The nanny was sent back to the General's Mansion, and the wicked mother was so angry that she cried!

Que'er: "And the Qu family, if they still shamelessly refuse to annul the engagement after all this, and have ulterior motives, then we'll make sure the whole world knows!"

The thought of annuling the engagement gave Li Qinglu a headache.

After the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion was dismissed, the Qu family came.

Moreover, the Qu family was arranged by Li Chaojing and his wife without their consent, taking advantage of the fact that Li Chaojing and his grandmother had left.

Li Qinglu felt nauseous just thinking about it.

“Since we’re going to make a scene, let’s make it bigger. Let’s spread the word about what Li Kechuan and Naqu Daoxun did in that dilapidated temple.”

"I will have Zhang Mama go back to the General's Mansion in the next couple of days to retrieve some of my old belongings and my grandmother's old belongings, and then get the marriage certificate back and send it to the Qu family to break off the engagement."

Que'er was a little worried: "What if the Qu family really refuses?"

Li Qingluo: "He won't? Then he might as well die."

Since he died, the marriage agreement naturally fell through.

Consider this a great gift to return to the Qu family for daring to plot against my grandmother!

Que'er smiled and said, "Your idea is the best, Miss. I'll go right now."

Li Qinglu called out to Que'er, "Don't rush. Do you know where the indentures of that Chang family are?"

Que'er really didn't know, so she went to ask Granny Deng.

Since Granny Deng was still recuperating and couldn't investigate in person, she sent someone to summon Granny Zheng.

“Old Zheng, I’m bedridden these days and can’t do anything for the girl, so I’ll let you run errands for her. Whether you go to investigate in person or go outside to coordinate with Old De, you have to get the girl the most accurate information as soon as possible.”

Since Uncle De couldn't enter the inner quarters, a matron was often needed to handle many matters.

Granny Zheng happily agreed.

The next day, she brought the message to Li Qingluo.

“Miss, when Granny Chang was part of the dowry, she brought her whole family to the General’s Mansion. Over the years, her family has been doing very well in the inner quarters and has even acquired a small two-courtyard house outside.”

"However, only her indenture is in your mother's hands, while the indentures of the rest of her family are still with the Qu family."

Li Qingluo seemed to have already guessed the truth, and then asked, "Is it possible to get these indentures?"

Granny Zheng was startled: "This...this is indeed a bit difficult, but it's not impossible."

Li Qinglu smiled slightly: "Then I'll trouble Granny Zheng to help me accomplish this. I'll wait for your good news."

With her heart pounding slightly, Granny Zheng came to see Granny Deng.

"Old Deng, your days with the girl are quite exciting, but the task is arduous..."

Granny Deng: "What, you don't want to work? Then help me up..."

Granny Zheng chuckled and pounced on Granny Deng, quickly pressing her down: "Yes, yes, yes! When did I say I wasn't going to do it? You old hag, always busy here and there, no wonder you're always so energetic. Following the young lady is more interesting than fighting a war, you see, I'm just as good as you!"

"What if I find a place by the girl's side someday?"

Granny Deng rolled her eyes at her: "Keep dreaming."

Suddenly, Granny Zheng whispered mysteriously, "By the way, there's a pair of men's shoes in the young lady's room."

“I noticed this when the young lady was wearing these men’s shoes at the Pei family’s mausoleum. The brocade on the shoes is no ordinary material.”

"The girl lied to me and said she just picked up a pair of shoes at random, but I saw that she had washed them clean and was still hanging them out to dry... she must have treasured them."

"It's strange, whose shoes could these be... Do you have a clue?"

Granny Deng immediately guessed who the shoes belonged to.

But how could she dare to say it?

She was so frightened that she covered Zheng Mama's mouth.

"You're spouting nonsense about this? Don't you dare talk nonsense about the girl, do you hear me? Even with the old lady, don't mention it unless she asks!"

"Although the young lady is very polite to us, you should now know a thing or two about her methods. If you wrong her, she won't let you off the hook!"

Granny Zheng then shuddered.

"No, no, I'll go and get back to work now."

Li Qingluo was also troubled by the enormous shoes in front of her.

She felt she should return the shoes to Prince Su.

Even if others don't care about this, and given his obsessive-compulsive nature, perhaps because she wore it, even if she rushes to return it to him, he might just throw it in a corner and never look at it again?

Even so, what's the point of keeping it for myself?

As Li Qingluo was struggling with her decision, the gatekeeper came to report: "Miss, people from the Pan family have arrived with gifts, saying they have come to thank you for saving Miss Pan."

Pan Li has arrived?

Li Qingluo immediately got up, carefully wrapped the shoes in a beautiful package, and then personally went out to greet them.

Meanwhile, rumors were already circulating in Jinling City that Li Kechuan and Qu Daoxun were having an affair.

It was also rumored that General Li Chaojing, the commander of the cavalry, went insane after being provoked by his eldest son's scandalous affairs.

Nobody believed it.

"Really? That's a great general, he's seen it all, would he go crazy over something like this?"

“What’s so strange about that? Someone definitely saw him being tied up and taken back to the general’s mansion yesterday. He was crying and making a scene in the carriage and even kicked a servant off the carriage.”

"Is this something a normal general would do?"

"It certainly doesn't look fake."

"Heavens, isn't this General's Mansion just too much? After the whole affair of the real and fake daughters was over, the eldest son broke his leg, and then his engagement was called off. Now, after suffering such a blow, he's done something so immoral that he's driven his own father crazy. How can such a rebellious son still be alive in this world?"

"Are these two cousins?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a disgrace! How could they do something so immoral? They have no shame!"

"What's so disgusting? Isn't the young master of the Qu family the most disgusting one? He's already engaged to the eldest daughter of the main wife, isn't he?"

"Hehehe, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, cousin and younger cousin. The young masters of wealthy families really know how to have fun..."

Following these sounds, Granny Zhang led a large group of people to knock on the gate of the General's Mansion.

When Madam Qu heard that it was Granny Zhang who had returned, she trembled with fright.

What is she coming back for?

Granny Chang: "They said...they came back to retrieve the things that the young lady and the old lady left in the mansion. Also, they came to ask you, Madam, for the young lady's engagement letter."

Ms. Qu screamed, "An engagement letter? What are they trying to do?"

Granny Chang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "She said that when the young lady and the old lady were not around, our household arranged a marriage for the young lady without her consent. After the old lady came to her senses, she did not agree to the marriage."

"And now the news about the eldest young master and our fourth young master of the Qu family has spread far and wide... so, so this marriage is even less likely to go through with the old lady, so, so she came to ask for the marriage certificate to break off the engagement with the Qu family..."

Qu slumped into a chair.

"Then, what should I do? I went through so much trouble to arrange this marriage. If I just break it off like this, how will my parents and my uncle and aunt forgive me?!"

"No, I disagree!"

Granny Chang was also at a loss.

Yesterday she went back to the Qu family and gave a detailed account of the master's current state.

Dr. Jiang came to our door yesterday to diagnose the patient. The old man has indeed been traumatized and is now considered to have gone mad.

How could he possibly become a great general again?

Being dismissed from his post is probably only a matter of time.

Just like the eldest son back then, it was all over with just an imperial edict of dismissal.

The future of the General's Mansion is completely over...

Even so, the Qu family showed no intention of announcing the engagement.

The General's Mansion has become like this, not because they are kind and righteous.

But it was what they were after… Granny Chang glanced at her mistress, her heart filled with conflict.

Madam still doesn't understand. What the Qu family is after isn't the girl, but the old lady's wealth behind her!

However, judging from the current situation, the old lady and the young lady are not going to let this go easily.

"Madam, what will happen to our young master if this matter escalates?"

Madam Qu burst into tears: "I only have this one son! What can I do? My husband is useless now, and the General's Mansion is completely finished."

"Our Qu family is already more than kind and generous to accept Luo'er. What more could she possibly want?"

"Even if Xun-ge and Chuan-er did such a thing, they were framed and harmed. It wasn't their true feelings, so this matter can be completely ignored."

Why can't she understand?

Just as she was crying, the gatekeeper rushed in to report: "It's terrible, Madam! Granny Zhang has brought her men and broken in!"

Zhang Mama quickly arrived at Chunzaitang.

“Madam, our young lady said that if you still refuse to hand over the marriage certificate, she will bring up the shameful things you did back then, such as poisoning your mother-in-law and conspiring with the Qu family to seize the old lady's property. Then we'll see how the authorities will judge a vicious woman like you.”

Ms. Qu was so frightened that her whole body went limp.

"I...I didn't...You have no evidence, how can you frame me like this? And how can the government just listen to your side of the story?"

Zhang Mama sneered, "Doesn't Madam know in her heart whether it's a frame-up or not?"

Madam Qu nearly fainted, but Granny Chang ran to fetch the letter of annulment and respectfully handed it to Granny Zhang.

"Granny Zhang, we'll give it to you. Everything in the past was just a misunderstanding..."

Granny Zhang took it expressionlessly, glanced at it to confirm, and then put it into her bosom.

"Misunderstanding? That's not necessarily true."

After saying that, she didn't say anything more and turned to pack her things at the Red Maple Pavilion and Jingci Hall.

Madam Qu grabbed Granny Chang and asked in bewilderment, "Why? Why did you give it to them? Do you know that by giving it to them, Luo'er will be completely out of my control, and I will no longer be able to hold onto her!"

Granny Chang pleaded with Madam Qu through tears, "Madam! Do you think this old servant wants this? I'm doing this for you!"

She was certain she would be punished by the Qu family this time, but she still took the risk.

“Madam, this old servant is heartbroken for you. Do you know that you have already lost your daughter…”

"It's all too late now... and the more you do this, the more the girl will hate you. Don't you understand?"

Granny Chang felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

She watched the lady grow up.

But she couldn't get rid of the Qu family.

Therefore, Chang Mama had to do many things against her will.

"As for the Qu family, this old servant will share the burden with you."

"But don't you think the old lady and the young lady's methods are even more frightening than those of the Qu family?"

Only then did Madam Qu stop crying.

But before she could catch her breath from crying, Qingyi rushed in again.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! They say the Prince Yun's residence has... kicked Madam Zhu out!"
