Chapter 309 Li Kechuan was completely drained and looked like a dog!

A sinister glint flashed in Qu Daoyuan's eyes.

Under Pei Jingzhe's signal, Li Qing slowly put down the knife and then retreated again with her grandmother.

Just then, Li Kechuan, Liu Qingzhu, Wu Da, and all the servants of Lancang Courtyard were arrested.

Li Kechuan was in the worst state, leaning on his cane and being pushed around. He stumbled and fell to the ground several times, only to be quickly helped up by Wu Da.

Wu Da looked down at Li Kechuan in his arms with concern, but Li Kechuan, once outside Lancang Academy, showed a deep disgust for Wu Da, pushing him away several times: "This young master doesn't need your help, get out of my way!"

However, Wu Da was as strong as an ox and a stubborn person, so no matter what they did, they couldn't get rid of him. He followed behind Li Kechuan without complaint and always protected him with a careful demeanor.

The officers and soldiers who had arrested them sneered.

"The adults don't know yet, but when we went to the eldest young master's courtyard, we actually saw him lying in bed with his younger sister whom he grew up with."

"Sister? Ugh! Disgusting!"

"Fortunately, Miss Cui Jiu has already broken off her engagement with your General's Mansion. Otherwise, she would have been incredibly unlucky to marry into such a filthy family and to a husband like Young Master Li with such unusual fetishes."

Upon hearing the words "Miss Cui Jiu," Pei Jingzhe glanced at Li Kechuan with a slight change in expression.

Anyone with eyes could see the unusual relationship between Li Kechuan and Liu Qingzhu at this moment. In addition, the group saw something unclean at Lancang Academy, and everyone's gaze towards Li Kechuan was filled with contempt and disgust.

Although in Jinling City, the practice of wealthy and powerful families frequenting prostitutes in private was not exactly good.

But if someone like Li Kechuan were to sleep with his sister, whom he once considered his own flesh and blood, how could the entire General's Mansion not care about such a scandalous affair?

No wonder I heard that this brother was extremely cruel to his found-out sister. It turns out that he had long harbored wicked thoughts towards this fake sister.

Now that this fake sister has been kicked out of Prince Yun's mansion and her status has plummeted, the two of them have actually ended up in the same bed.

From then on, these two people were inevitably pointed at and criticized by the world for their moral depravity.

Qu Daoyuan, who had just been humiliated, seized the opportunity to curse, "Your General's Mansion has such a clean family tradition."

Enraged, Li Kechuan turned around and slapped Wu Da across the face.

"Get out of here, you slut!"

Wu Da covered his swollen face and lowered his head.

Li Kechuan then looked at the people in the courtyard, at Pei Jingzhe and Qu Daoyuan, at Li Qingluo and Madam Pei, and even the second and third branches of the family.

He laughed, his eyes red: "What, has our General's Mansion now fallen to the point of being raided and exterminated?"

"Grandmother, aren't you very powerful? Can't you even protect the lives and honor of this entire family?"

"And you, Pei Jingzhe, were nothing more than a defeated opponent of mine back then. Now it's finally your turn to be smug!"

"You, Qu Daoyuan, once called me your brother, but now you're kicking me when I'm down and mocking my Li family. You're more heartless and ungrateful than anyone else!"

"The wheel of fortune turns. My Li family has fallen to such a state today. I can't blame anyone but myself... I failed to shoulder the responsibility for this family. I have let down the ancestors of the Li family. I deserve to die!"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Li Kechuan was pinned to the ground by Qu Daoyuan's men, whose faces were dark with anger.

Wu Da tried to rush forward to save him, but Qu Daoyuan drew his sword and killed him with a single blow.

Wu Da lay on the ground convulsing, and instantly a pool of blood appeared beneath him.

“A dog that wags its tail and begs for mercy dares to bar its teeth at me.”

As he said this, Qu Daoyuan's eyes fell on Li Kechuan.

Li Kechuan roared angrily, but he was already pinned to the ground and didn't even have the strength to turn over.

His body had long been completely hollowed out by wine and women; where was the former heroic spirit he once possessed?

Seeing that he was truly ruined, Qu Daoyuan and Pei Jingzhe both shook their heads.

When everyone in the courtyard saw that Qu Daoyuan had actually killed someone on the spot, they screamed in shock, and fear finally appeared on their faces.

When Madam Pei saw Li Kechuan being humiliated like this, her eyes showed pity, and she felt a deep anger rising in her chest from the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of others.

Li Qingluo held her grandmother's hand tightly and shook her head slightly.

The grandmother and granddaughter are currently in a passive position and are indeed unable to intervene in this matter.

Seeing this, Liu Qingzhu, who had been obediently following the maids, suddenly had a sudden thought. Her eyes reddened, and she ran forward, crying and pleading, "Big cousin, please help me, please help Zhu'er—"

"Elder cousin, those generals in the mansion are inhuman! They did nothing but beastly things! Not only did they imprison and beat me, but they also forbade Zhu'er from sending any messages out, and they wouldn't allow Zhu'er to return to the Prince Yun's mansion!"

"Big cousin, I've finally waited for you! Please, save me!"

Liu Qingzhu cried so hard that she had snot and tears streaming down her face, which stunned Qu Daoyuan.

"Who are you……"

Liu Qingzhu: "It's me, it's Zhu'er, my cousin—waaaaah..."

Liu Qingzhu!?

She is Liu Qingzhu!?

That once exceptionally talented and renowned noblewoman of Jinling City, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, Liu Qingzhu, whom everyone flocked to!

How did she become like this?

No wonder I only heard her subordinates say that she and Li Kechuan were lying in the same bed, but they didn't come out together.

He ended up among the maids.

Because the Qu family used to bring Liu Qingzhu back to the Qu family, Qu Daoyuan had met Liu Qingzhu several times.

She was once so noble, flamboyant, and flawless; now she has become so wretched, lowly, and vulgar.

Not only was her oversized maid's robe hanging loosely on her body, but there were also bruises on her face and around her eyes.

His figure could be described as extremely thin.

Without the embellishment of makeup, her face was no different from that of an ordinary woman.

"How...how did you end up like this?"

"Besides, haven't you already been expelled from Prince Yun's residence? How can I save you?"

Liu Qingzhu quickly knelt down, took a few steps forward, and cried bitterly, "Elder cousin, you don't know—"

Qu Daoyuan, feeling a headache coming on, quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "You'd better stop calling me 'elder cousin.' You're surnamed Liu now, and I don't have a single cousin with the surname Liu."

Liu Qingzhu's expression froze for a moment.

She knew that she was now despised by the world, so she could only swallow all the bitterness in her heart.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Liu Qingzhu called out again, "Yes, Lord Qu."

"Lord Qu, you may not know this, but I was only ordered by His Highness to leave the Prince Yun's residence under false pretenses."

"Actually, my purpose is simply to test and find out for Your Highness whether Li Chaojing is really sick or just pretending."

Although she still wanted to get her dowry, the most important thing now was to escape and leave this place, so Liu Qingzhu dared not say such things again.

"Who knew they would be so heartless and cruel... They actually blamed all the misfortune of this entire family on me. I have suffered terribly these past few days and endured a lot of torment from them..."

Li Kechuan, who was pinned to the ground, sneered repeatedly: "Liu Qingzhu, why don't you tell Qu Daoyuan what kind of torture you've been subjected to!?"

"You still want to go back to Prince Yun's mansion? Hahaha, dream on!"

"Unless Prince Yun doesn't mind your defiled body and is still willing to sleep with a slut like you!"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Li Kechuan had long guessed that Liu Qingzhu might still harbor treacherous intentions and want to return to Prince Yun's side, but he never expected that even this trip back to the General's Mansion was merely to become Prince Yun's dog.

For the sake of Prince Yun...

Everything is for Prince Yun!

Li Kechuan was filled with hatred, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Liu Qingzhu.

Liu Qingzhu opened her mouth in a panic but then stopped. She lunged forward and quickly grabbed Qu Daoyuan's leg tightly, continuing to cry out, "Lord Qu, please don't listen to his nonsense!"

"We were just sleeping together. What could we possibly do with his broken body?"

"It's all a misunderstanding. How could I possibly do anything to betray Your Highness?"

“I have vowed to resist to the death every day and have resolutely opposed this matter.”

"If you don't believe me, ask every servant in Lancang Courtyard if this is true."

The servants of Lancang Courtyard looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Even Pei Jingzhe's forehead throbbed violently.

This Li Kechuan is utterly absurd!

After all, Liu Qingzhu was once a daughter of a wealthy family. Even if she was switched at birth, could the siblings who had been together for more than ten years really sleep in the same bed again?

By publicly bringing this up again, isn't he telling the world that Prince Yun has become a bastard?

Does he really not want to live anymore?

How dare you cuckold a prince!

However, considering that Prince Yun's own situation wasn't much better, he probably wouldn't have the time to deal with this matter, and he didn't know if the Li family could recover after what happened today...

Pei Jingzhe crossed his arms and remained silent once again.

Li Qingluo also silently shook her head.

Even if Liu Qingzhu talks herself hoarse today, once Li Kechuan says it himself, the two of them will never be able to clear their names completely.

Qu Daoyuan, on the other hand, not only felt disgusted but also had a terrible headache, and he had no desire to get involved in this mess related to the Prince Yun's mansion.

So he immediately waved his hand and said, "Alright!"

"I remember you were expelled from the General's Mansion's family tree a long time ago, so you can't be considered a member of the General's Mansion anymore?"

Liu Qingzhu's eyes lit up instantly.

Knowing that Qu Daoyuan intended to release her, she quickly replied, "Yes, I am indeed no longer a member of the General's Mansion. Please, sir, spare me. I am innocent... Waaah..."

Qu Daoyuan immediately ordered Liu Qingzhu to be expelled from the general's mansion.

As soon as Liu Qingzhu was free, she lifted her skirt and ran away, disappearing into the end of Dongyin Alley in a moment.

Upon seeing someone emerge, it was Liu Qingzhu again. Que'er, who had been peering around in the corner, immediately rushed forward.

Nangong Di grabbed her: "Come back! What do you want to do?"

Que'er's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Mr. Nangong, my young lady and the old lady are still inside! I must go in and see for myself what's going on. If something has happened, I must stay with my young lady!"

Nangong Di glared at Que'er fiercely: "Go in! What can you do inside? Will you save her or cause more trouble?"

"Listen to me!"

"Perhaps things aren't so bad after all."

Sparrow: "But the news has spread all over the street that the master has committed some heinous crime of treason and fraudulently claiming military merits! This is a capital offense that would lead to the confiscation of the family property! Why should our young lady and the old lady be implicated?"

The sparrow was so anxious that it was spinning around in circles like an ant on a hot oil pan.

Li Jingchuan, dressed entirely in black and almost entirely covered in fur, looked up and gazed at the General's Mansion with a melancholy expression.

He didn't even have time to step inside...

It's unclear whether we were simply too late or if it was fate.

He genuinely wanted to help Luo'er.

I finally made up my mind, but fate played a cruel trick on me...

Just then, Li Jingchuan suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.
