Chapter 39 Brother compensates Luo'er with one thousand taels of silver

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei scoffed coldly, "So, Madam Qu, you don't deny what Luo'er said?"

Madam Qu's face paled: "Mother, your daughter-in-law... your daughter-in-law was confused for a moment and did some wrong things with Chuan'er. But please understand your daughter-in-law's feelings. Your daughter-in-law only did this because she missed Zhu'er too much..."

Madam Pei: "Don't try to use this as an excuse! Do you all think I'm senile and can be fooled by you so easily?!"

"I'm not one of you two idiots, I'm still perfectly sober!"

Faced with his grandmother's anger, Li Kechuan finally could no longer hold back: "Grandmother!"

He looked up, his gaze calm yet filled with a chilling frost as he looked at the old man and the young man in front of him.

“Grandmother. This matter, as well as the last time Mother used medicine for her eye ailment, were all done by me alone. Please don’t blame my mother. She was only helped by me because I tricked her.”

"It's true that I hate Li Qingluo the most. Why can she still live a good life, while Zhu'er lost her life!?"

"Why is it that she won't even burn incense in front of Zhu'er, while Zhu'er would rather die than give her a place to sit!"

"Why did she become the daughter of the Li family, while no one remembers Zhu'er anymore?"

Madam Pei: "Then why should Li Qingzhu be able to seize everything that rightfully belongs to Luo'er? Even after she died, she still caused Luo'er to be hated by her own family and suffer unbearable pain!"

All three stared at Madam Pei in shock, as if they had never imagined it before.

Madam Pei sneered, "I don't expect you to have any conscience at all."

"But the Li family, as long as I return, as long as I am alive, will not let this matter rest!"

"Li Kechuan, you are ruthless and cruel, showing no regard for kinship or blood ties, and repeatedly persecuting your own sister. Your viciousness is truly outrageous!"

"Luo'er now has twenty-three external injuries, a blunt force injury on her back, and internal injuries of unknown depth. All of this was caused by your own brother!"

"Mrs. Qu, you are not fit to be a mother! As Luo'er's biological mother, instead of thinking about bringing her own flesh and blood back to make amends, you blame that bastard's death on your own daughter! What did she do wrong?"

"She was taken away by villains from the day she was born. She had the life of a pampered princess, but she has to live a life worse than that of a pig or a dog!"

"You haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness; you've only suffered!"

"His hands are covered in calluses and nicks, rougher than the hands you two have used to handle knives and guns."

"I have never worn a nice piece of clothing, never eaten a full meal, and never slept well."

"The suffering she endured should have been Li Qingzhu's life to suffer! Why is no one feeling sorry for her?"

"I think her biggest mistake was being born from the womb of your utterly useless mother; otherwise, she wouldn't have been targeted by thieves!"

"Li Chaojing, I think you're just a born scoundrel! You only like mothers and daughters who aren't related by blood. You haven't suffered enough from your mother yet, and you'll want to eat your daughter's food in the future!"

“The three of you are all heartless and ungrateful, and you don’t deserve to be Luo’er’s family at all.”

"From now on, I will take care of all of Luo'er's affairs. She won't need to try to please any of you anymore!"

All three of them were thoroughly scolded, and the words pierced their hearts like needles.

They just hadn't quite realized it yet.

Li Chaojing's complexion had never been good.

Although his mother's words were very unpleasant, they still made him shudder.

Back then, it wasn't until his mother passed away and he grew older that he realized that a mother and son truly had to be blood relatives to be completely selfless.

Deng couldn't keep up the pretense any longer, and eventually, she plotted everything in the General's Mansion for her own son.

The thought made Li Chaojing feel uneasy.

However, since Pearl is already dead, this kind of thing will naturally never happen again.

As for Luo'er... she never raised her, and now that she's older, even if she marries into the Marquis of Zhongyi's family, how much care can she possibly give to her own family?

She wasn't marrying a prince, and her family didn't need her help.

Isn't it a blessing from her family to have found her a good marriage?

Kinship cannot be forced.

Hearing this, Naqu felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Was her injury that serious?

Did Chuan'er really do this?

That was, after all, a child who came from her womb. Although she hadn't raised him, he had at least been in her belly for ten months...

Seeing her haggard appearance, Qu felt a pang of heartache.

Chuan'er has really gone too far this time!

Madam Qu lowered her head silently, never expecting that her life in the Liu family was so difficult...

But at this moment, what she was most grateful for was that Zhu'er hadn't grown up in the Liu family.

Ultimately, fate brought them together as mother and daughter!

Li Kechuan was naturally the most dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Ms. Qu holding him back, he would have already gotten up, turned around, and left.

Madam Pei didn't care what they thought.

After calming down, he announced his punishment for them: "The Qu family is to be confined to the Buddhist hall for a month to reflect on their mistakes and to copy one hundred Buddhist scriptures. They are not to be released without my permission!"

"Li Chaojing, give Luo'er one thousand taels of silver to make up for Luo'er's pain and all the debts owed."

Qu Shi also tolerated her going to the Buddhist hall. She had never suffered the hardship of her mother-in-law standing in the rules, so she would just make up for it now.

Upon hearing that she was to give Li Qingluo a thousand taels of silver, her eyes widened in surprise, and she was not very willing.

"Mother, so much? What does a young woman need so much silver for?"

Madam Pei sneered, "Then how much do you think is appropriate? How about we just give her a hundred taels to get rid of her?"

"Tell me yourself, since she came home, have you bought her anything? Do you want me to yell at you again? You idiot!"

Li Chaojing grabbed Qu Shi: "Stop talking! One thousand taels is one thousand taels! You wronged her, so you should pay this money!"

Li Chaojing's knees were sore from kneeling, and now he just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible.

Qu had a gloomy face, clearly very unhappy about the matter.

Madam Pei was too lazy to argue with them anymore and didn't want to see them, so she waved her hand and told them to get lost.

Li Kechuan stared at Madam Pei, hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He got up, helped Madam Qu up, and left without looking back.

As Madam Pei watched their disappearing figures, she asked Li Qingluo, who was sitting beside her, "Luo'er, Grandmother didn't punish your brother not because Grandmother was protecting him. Grandmother thinks you want to use your own methods to deal with him and get revenge. Am I right?"
