Chapter 358 Luo'er's appearance is restored to its original state!

"Luo'er?"

It was Madam Pei's voice coming from outside the courtyard.

This voice instantly brought Li Qingluo back to her senses.

Her face turned deathly pale as she staggered backward. When she realized that what she had just been craving was Duan Rongshi's neck, Li Qingluo felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and become ice-cold.

Duan Rongshi saw her face change drastically, but before he could ask a question, Old Madam Pei hurriedly entered, accompanied by a group of people.

Duan Rongshi turned around and nodded slightly to Old Madam Pei: "Old General."

Madam Pei: "Your Highness Prince Su, you've arrived quite early."

She knew he was coming.

Not only did they come, but they also took control of the entire Zizaiju area, making it their own space.

Madam Pei really wanted to spit on him.

But seeing that he was still standing outside Luo'er's door, she didn't say anything.

And then she saw that Li Qingluo's appearance had been restored to normal.

It was her lost child.

She had raised Luo'er with great care, making her as delicate as a flower.

Madam Pei's eyes instantly filled with tears as she quickly walked towards Li Qingluo.

“Grandmother…” Li Qingluo stood nervously in the room.

Madam Pei strode in and hugged her tightly.

Li Qingluo smelled the familiar scent on her grandmother and realized that she didn't have any unusual feelings for Duan Rongshi as she had just experienced, so she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But what happened to her?

Li Qingluo couldn't help but look up at Duan Rongshi.

Duan Rongshi was also looking at her through the crowd.

Their eyes met, and Duan Rongshi immediately understood what had happened to her.

With so many people in front of me, it's impossible to explain clearly.

Duan Rongshi turned around first and quietly left with Zhui Yu and the others.

Li Qingluo was surrounded by people asking her how she was doing.

"Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"

"Luo'er, why do you seem a little nervous?"

Nangong Di: "Luo'er must be afraid that she won't be able to turn back into a beautiful woman, so she's a little scared, right?"

Luo Fan: "I heard from Qin Ling that making this face-restoring ointment is extremely troublesome. Not only does it require a large amount of precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures, but it also requires him to stay by his side at all times, and to keep stirring it as long as the fire is kept burning."

"So he's still fast asleep in his room."

Madam Pei held Li Qingluo's hand and tapped her for the first time: "This Prince Su really cares about you."

She wanted to test whether her granddaughter had come to her senses.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo was completely out of sync with her, saying, "Grandmother, we must at least not let His Highness suffer too much loss. I wonder how much the ingredients for this face-restoring ointment will cost?"

"Shall we compensate him?"

Madam Pei nearly fell backward.

Silly child, your grandmother is talking to you about feelings, and you're talking to your grandmother about money!

Sigh, she even felt a little sorry for Prince Su.

Little did Madam Pei know that the two young people had already secretly fallen in love.

Li Qingluo simply didn't want to owe Duan Rongshi too much.

Zizaiju was bustling with activity all morning.

After everyone had left, she planned to go and take a look at Qingzhu Garden.

I heard that Li Jingchuan has woken up.

Li Qingluo only took Zheng Mama with her and went to Qingzhu Garden.

There were several servants in the courtyard.

When they saw Granny Zheng and Li Qingluo approaching, they were about to pay their respects when Li Qingluo raised her hand to stop them.

Li Jingchuan and Zheng Wanxiu, mother and son, were inside the house.

This courtyard is usually very quiet, and no one would come to disturb it.

Of course, they haven't gone out these past few days either.

Li Qingluo quietly approached and heard Zheng Wanxiu say, "Xiao Chuan, would you like to go and pay your respects to your grandmother?"

Li Jingchuan: "I'm not going."

Li Qingluo saw through the crack in the window that Li Jingchuan was sitting in a thick, heavy fur chair, covered with heavy quilts.

He was holding a piece of wood in his hand, meticulously carving it with a knife.

There were many wood chips in front of him, and Zheng Wanxiu would shake them off from time to time, which was very gentle and considerate.

Zheng Wanxiu asked him, "But your grandmother already knows about your background. If you don't go... wouldn't that be impolite?"

"Xiao Chuan, although the old lady is a bit strict, I think she values ​​you quite a bit."

"Haven't you always wanted more family?"

"How about..."

Li Jingchuan: "Mother, since I'm going to die sooner or later, why bother with the affection between grandparents and grandchildren?"

"If I cause her further heartbreak and cause her to lose health and lifespan because of me, what crime should I commit?"

"In that case, it's better to be an unfilial descendant and disappoint her from the start, so that she will have no more expectations."

"Besides... with Luo'er by her side, that's enough."

Zheng Wanxiu: "You...!"

"Didn't your mother tell you? That Doctor Luo can save your life and extend it by a few years."

"Xiao Chuan, just live well for your mother's sake, okay?"

Zheng Wanxiu couldn't help but squat down, holding onto Li Jingchuan's legs, and tears streamed down her face.

Li Jingchuan sighed.

"Mother, please let your son go."

"Now that the Yun Gu Sect Leader has disappeared without a trace, you should give up hope."

"As you can see, my son has been living a life worse than death all these years. Even if he lives a few more years, it will only be a few more years of repeated torment for me."

"Cough...cough cough..."

After a fit of coughing, Zheng Wanxiu looked in shock at the bright red blood hidden in the handkerchief covering Li Jingchuan's mouth.

Her legs gave way and she sat down on the ground.

"My son...it's all my fault..."

"If back then, your mother hadn't joined the Lotus Sect, but instead took you to your grandmother's place..."

"Perhaps you are not beyond saving."

"It's all your mother's fault!"

Zheng Wanxiu was heartbroken with regret.

"But what will happen to your mother if you just leave like this?"

“Your uncle’s fate is unknown. If you also die, our Zheng family bloodline… will be reduced to just your mother, a woman. How will your mother live?”

Li Jingchuan stood there blankly as Zheng Wanxiu cried.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his head and looked at a figure standing in the crack of the window.

"who?"

Li Qingluo reached out and slowly pushed the window open.

"So, you also recognize Sect Leader Yun Gu?"

"It seems we're all on the same page."

Zheng Wanxiu was startled when she saw her: "It's you, Li Qingluo!"

When did she arrive?

Why...didn't I notice anything at all?

Didn't she overhear what she and Jingchuan were saying?

A sense of unease arose in Zheng Wanxiu's heart.

She actually mentioned Zuliya, the leader of Yun Gu Sect. What did she know?

If she were to go to the old lady and spout nonsense, things might get very bad...

Li Qingluo had already instructed Zheng Mama to lead the rest of the people in the courtyard away quietly.

So at this time, there were only the three of them in Qingzhu Garden.

Li Qingluo deliberately touched her face and sighed, "It seems that Doctor Qinling's disguise skills are truly the best in the world."

"To this day, not a single person has realized that I'm just a fake. Haha, hahaha..."

Li Qingluo's words caused Li Jingchuan's expression to change drastically.

What do you mean by that?

His breathing quickened, and his body involuntarily leaned forward: "You're not Luo'er? Who are you?"

Li Qingluo looked at Li Jingchuan: "Young master, please don't be in such a hurry."

"The real Li Qingluo is now naturally in the hands of our Lotus Sect Leader."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to impersonate her and return to this general's mansion."

Zheng Wanxiu's expression changed drastically in shock.

I was already seven or eight parts convinced.

But she was confused: "But you clearly have Luo'er's face... how could you not..."

The mother and son hadn't left Qingzhu Garden for the past few days, and the servants in the courtyard didn't gossip, so they didn't know that Li Qingluo was just playing a trick on them.

Li Qingluo: "The world is so vast, what is there that it doesn't contain?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the physician in Qinling for clarification."

"Or perhaps we could go and find out from the leader whether what I said is true."

"Don't you know that the real Li Qingluo went missing for several days a few days ago?"

"If it weren't for this, how would I have had the opportunity to impersonate her and enjoy such wealth and luxury in this mansion?"

Li Jingchuan knew that Luo'er had gone missing.

That's why he went out of the mansion to look for his mother and contacted the blacksmith to search for Luo'er's whereabouts.

But not only did Luo'er disappear without a trace, her uncle's rescue operation also encountered a mishap.

Two days ago, he heard rumors that Luo'er had returned.

But it turns out that someone from the Lotus Sect was impersonating Luo'er.

Li Jingchuan stared at his younger sister repeatedly, trying to confirm whether what she said was true or false.

Her words and actions were indeed very different from Luo'er's.

Luo'er is a graceful and generous young lady, how could she have such a petty and mean appearance?

The thought of Luo'er suffering while there was a substitute impersonating her outside filled Li Jingchuan with rage, and he stood up, supporting his frail body.

He held the knife in his hand and walked step by step toward the window.

"You dare impersonate Luo'er? I'll kill you!"

But before he could even reach the window, he collapsed to the ground.

"Jingchuan——"

Zheng Wanxiu cried out in pain and rushed over to hug Li Jingchuan tightly.

"Xiao Chuan, why are you doing this?"

"We...we have no say in this matter!"

Li Jingchuan roared furiously, "Mother, kill her!!"

"What right does she have to possess everything Luo'er has? She deserves to die!"

However, the intense emotions overwhelmed him, and he coughed up blood again.

Li Qingluo's expression shifted slightly.

He was still somewhat sincere towards himself.

It's just unknown whether the soul-swapping was also what he truly desired.

Was he half-heartedly willing, or did he also hope to possess my body and survive, which is why he cared so much about me back then?

Li Qingluo would not rashly trust anyone.

She prefers to believe what she sees with her own eyes.

Zheng Wanxiu, clinging anxiously to Li Jingchuan, asked, "Where is this place?!"

"Do you think the old lady will believe a few words she says here if we complain to her?"

"Xiao Chuan, don't be naive."

"What if she turns around and accuses us of being from the Lotus Sect in front of your grandmother, saying that we have ulterior motives and want to harm everyone in this household? If the old lady gets angry and kicks us out, what will happen to your health?"

Li Qinglu clapped her hands, slowly walked from the window to the door, and then went inside.

"This aunt is very clever."

“You’re right. You all know in your hearts who Old Madam Pei will believe.”

"At that time, you will really be doomed."

Zheng Wanxiu's face paled: "Then what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Qingluo: "Of course I'm here to help you."

She smiled slightly, "Would you like to meet the head of the Cloud Valley Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingchuan grabbed Zheng Wanxiu, exclaiming, "Mother! No!"

"This must not be done."

"Grandmother saved her grandson's life."

"Luo'er has saved me time and time again. We can't treat Luo'er like this!"

"Mother...!"

Seeing her son's weak state, Zheng Wanxiu reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes suddenly turned cold: "Xiao Chuan, this is what the Qu family owes to us, mother and son."

"Besides, Mother has no way back..."
