Chapter 290 Zheng Lingzhou finally caught Luo'er?

Li Qingluo's gaze met Zheng Lingzhou's as he turned around.

Could it really be him?

Even though she had guessed who this person was, Li Qingluo was still extremely angry.

He keeps messing things up. If he hadn't interfered last time, Sui'er wouldn't have been killed!

And just two days ago, he must have started to doubt his own identity.

Didn't they immediately drop their weapons and rush towards him without hesitation, saving Princess Qinyu and drawing away Prince Su's hand?

Of course, he wasn't going to hold back either and wanted to kill him!

Both of them would kill each other without hesitation, so Li Qing really couldn't understand why he was looking for her.

Today, he was finally dressed neither like an assassin nor a man dressed as a woman. He looked like a proper young master, dashing and debonair, with the handsome appearance of a jade-faced gentleman.

Li Qingluo had no time to appreciate his good looks; she immediately asked, "Where is my man?"

Zheng Lingzhou walked over quickly with a smile on his face: "Luo'er, you've finally arrived."

"As expected, you are my disciple, Zheng Lingzhou's disciple. You have quite the nerve!"

Li Qingluo pulled out a short dagger, pointed it at Zheng Lingzhou, and asked again, "Shut up! I will never admit to having a master like you."

"Where are my people? Now that I've come alone, shouldn't you hand them over first? Or did you harm them?"

"If even a single hair on their heads is harmed, I will fight you to the death today!"

Zheng Lingzhou stopped in his tracks, his face darkening: "Luo'er, I always tell you to be more obedient."

"Yet you repeatedly question my good intentions."

"Since they are your people, how could I bear to harm them?"

"Don't worry, they're all doing just fine!"

"If you don't believe me, come with me."

Zheng Lingzhou walked in front, and Li Qingluo followed behind.

She hid the dagger in her sleeve again.

She knew, of course, that Zheng Lingzhou wouldn't release the person so easily.

He had tried to capture him several times, and this time he even used a trick to capture someone, finally luring him here.

This time, she'll see what he's really up to!

He acted like a ghost, dressed as a woman, and even tried to take her away several times.

Li Qingluo had a hunch that he didn't have any good intentions.

After all, almost all of his own sister Zheng's children were killed by their own mother, Qu.

How could they not hate the Qu family bloodline?

Following Zheng Lingzhou to the outside of a semi-underground dungeon, Li Qingluo saw Granny Deng and Butterfly through the wooden fence.

She immediately rushed over and cried out, "Granny Deng, Butterfly! Are you all alright?"

The old woman was still recovering from her injuries, and she came along because she was worried about her.

Who would have thought that they would still fall into Zheng Lingzhou's inescapable trap?

Unable to rise from her half-reclined position, Granny Deng could only cry out with red eyes and tears streaming down her face, "Miss, you...you've come...it's all my fault, I've dragged you into this...I should have just killed myself, then I wouldn't have caused you this trouble..."

Li Qingluo: "Don't talk nonsense! I want you to serve me for a long, long time to come. When you get old, I'll give you a big estate to live out your days in comfort!"

The butterfly, chained up, jumped around wildly with unusual agitation when it saw Li Qingluo and Zheng Lingzhou appear at the same time.

"Why did you lock her up?! Is this what you meant by 'living well'?!"

Li Qingluo turned around and glared angrily at Zheng Lingzhou.

Zheng Lingzhou sighed helplessly, "Luo'er, this person is a monster. Not only did she kill one of my subordinates, but several others were also seriously injured because of her."

"I spared her life out of consideration for you, showing you great mercy."

What else do you want from me?

Li Qingluo: "I want to ask you, Zheng Lingzhou, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"You kidnapped my people and demanded I come to see you. You didn't just want to say these few words of nonsense, did you?"

Zheng Lingzhou smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry, Luo'er."

"Please settle down at Jingyun Manor for now, and I will explain everything to you in detail..."

He spoke and waved.

Then a group of servants appeared, saying, "Miss, we will help you return to your room to rest."

Li Qinglu sneered: "Zheng Lingzhou, I'll wait and see what kind of schemes you're going to pull!"

Zheng Lingzhou looked aggrieved and spread his hands: "Luo'er, why do you always think so badly of me? I really just treat you as my own niece and want to be family with you."

"What else can I get from a woman like you?"

Li Qingluo didn't believe his nonsense.

But she's definitely not in a hurry to leave now.

"I can stay, but you must release them both first! Also, please send a doctor to treat my nanny's injuries!"

"Otherwise, I will turn this place upside down!"

Zheng Lingzhou was indeed aware of her stubbornness.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to try so many times before finally bringing her back.

He smiled warmly: "What's so difficult about that?"

But a sick old woman and a beastly monster, how could she possibly lead them out of Jingyun Manor?

Li Qingluo received a huge courtyard.

It was three times the size of the Red Maple Pavilion where she lived in the General's Mansion, and twice the size of the Zizai Residence, which was formed by combining two courtyards of the Xiuli General's Mansion.

There is also a rockery and a fish pond in the courtyard, as well as a large swing.

Li Qingluo had just settled in when Granny Deng and Butterfly were brought over.

"Why is this madwoman only attacking those servants? Could it be that she hates all these stinking men in the world?"

"Hehe, that's good too. Look, she didn't go crazy when she saw us, did she?"

It's not difficult for people to notice the butterfly's unusual behavior.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Qingluo quickly went out. Granny Deng was carried back, and Butterfly was still walking on all fours like a small animal.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Li Qingluo.

Just as he was about to excitedly rush forward, a chain still bound his neck.

The butterfly had only taken a few steps forward when it was pulled back forcefully by the chain, and then it stumbled and fell to the ground.

Her face showed an expression of extreme pain, she grabbed the iron chains with both hands, and then cried out in pain.

Li Qing ran over and shouted, "Let her go!"

The maid who led the butterfly over replied respectfully, "Miss, this monster wants to eat human blood, we dare not release it."

Li Qingluo pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and pressed it against the neck of the maid who was leading the butterfly.

Believe it or not, I'll kill you!

“She is my person. Since your master ordered her to be returned to me, you have no right to lock her up like an animal!”

"Release them!"

The maid then quickly threw out the key.

Li Qingluo picked up the key and quickly unlocked the chain around Butterfly's neck. Butterfly stepped forward and hugged her leg, looking up with pitiful eyes.

When Li Qingluo saw that her neck was rubbed raw and bleeding again, she felt a pang of heartache.

She gently patted Butterfly's smooth head and comforted her tenderly, "It's alright, I'm here, no one will dare to wrong you again."

"I will protect you."

The butterfly tilted its head, then smiled and said, "Butterfly?"

Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Yes, your name is Butterfly."

She took Butterfly's hand, turned, and walked inside, leaving behind only the words: "Those who want to live, no man is allowed to come near this courtyard!"

After the doctor examined Granny Deng, he said that the injury was not serious, just some cracks, and that she could be cured by applying medicine again and drinking the herbal soup.

As for the wound on Butterfly's neck, the doctor tossed over a bottle of medicine and then hurriedly ran off.

Li Qingluo had temporarily locked Butterfly in another room so that Granny Deng could examine her. Now, as she went in with the ointment, she saw Butterfly waiting for her obediently.

She opened the medicine bottle and let the butterfly come over: "I'll apply the medicine for you."

The butterfly blinked and crawled over. Li Qingluo applied the cool ointment to her neck, and she grimaced.

Li Qingluo asked, "Does it hurt a little?"

The butterfly nodded sadly.

Li Qingluo: "Bear with it, I'll blow on it for you."

After blowing a few breaths, the butterfly comfortably closed its eyes again.

Li Qingluo couldn't help but smile.

"Butterfly, I've noticed you've become even more beautiful lately."

The scars on my face have healed a bit. After eating good food and basking in the sun, my complexion has naturally improved.

"It's a pity about your teeth... I wonder if there's any way to fix them."

"And your hair, go back and ask Doctor Luo to think of a way to see if it can grow back."

"Your mother is an absolute beauty, and your father must have been incredibly handsome and brave when he was young... So, you'll definitely be very good-looking too."

Li Qinglu thought of her past self.

My heart ached even more for the butterfly.

"Although your parents are full of sins, you are not wrong. If she hadn't selfishly given birth to you, you wouldn't even have to suffer in this world... Just like me, why would I have wanted to come to this world?"

The butterfly couldn't quite understand what she was saying.

But he tilted his head and listened very attentively.

Seemingly sensing Li Qingluo's somewhat downcast mood, Butterfly even took the initiative to place her face on Li Qingluo's knee and then reached out to pat her back.

Li Qingluo felt comforted and smiled, "Logically speaking, you're a generation older than me. But let's not talk about that, okay? You are the butterfly."

The butterfly suddenly became very happy and replied, "Butterfly."

Here, Li Qingluo and her two servants settled down.

Zheng Lingzhou's steps became much lighter.

Jingchuan emerged from around the corner and stopped him: "Uncle. Did you trick Luo'er into coming to Jingyun Manor?"

Zheng Lingzhou was delighted to see Jing Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, are you feeling better today? You can even come out of your room for a walk."

"How can you call it a lie?"

"Your uncle just used some tricks; who told her not to obey?"

As Zheng Lingzhou spoke, he reached out to help Jingchuan up.

Jingchuan grabbed him tightly.

"Uncle, please release Luo'er!"

"If you want to exchange Luo'er's life for mine, I will kill myself before you do it!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingzhou's expression instantly changed and darkened: "You! You wretched child!"

"Your mother and I did all this, wasn't it all for you?"

"We've been planning this for so many years, and this is the day we've been waiting for!"

"If the sect leader of Yun Gu hadn't examined the birth dates and times of the other children of the Li family and found that only Luo'er was the most suitable match for your destiny, would I have bothered with all this effort?"
