Chapter 46 My brother was slashed by a thief.

Mei Shuang wiped away her tears: "Mei Xue has a red birthmark the size of a fingernail on her shoulder, right?"

Yang Qinwu immediately knelt down in grief and cried out, "Xue'er—!! Brother is late! Brother is so sorry—"

After being separated for nearly ten years and searching for the past two years, I have not waited for my sister to return, but instead learned the truth that she had already died tragically!

Moreover, it resulted in the deaths of both mother and child. They were playthings in the mansions of the powerful and wealthy, objects to be manipulated and toyed with at will, and could be kicked to death with a few kicks!

A burly man knelt on the ground, covered his face, and wept bitterly.

Everyone who saw this felt terrible.

Li Qingluo waited quietly.

Yang Qinwu finally reacted: "Who exactly are you? How do you know the truth about this? What is your purpose in telling me all this today?"

Li Qingluo then slowly spoke, "Let me tell you the truth. I am the second young lady of the Li family, whom we only found three months ago."

Sure enough, Yang Qinwu's expression changed drastically when he heard that she was from the Li family.

"That's perfect! That guy surnamed Li killed my sister, so I'll kill you too!"

As Yang Qinwu shouted, he actually attacked Li Qingluo.

Granny Deng had already been waiting with her entourage.

As soon as Yang Qinwu made a move, they immediately joined forces and managed to pin him down.

Although it wasn't an easy job, they were truly a group of elderly women who were still going strong.

Li Qingluo couldn't help but look at Que'er with admiration, and Que'er blinked.

"How dare you! Our girl kindly told you the truth, and you want to kill her? Don't you know anything about right and wrong?"

Yang Qinwu: "Hahahaha!! Your Li family ruined my sister, and you expect me to thank you? No way!"

"Bah! You brought me here today just to kill me, don't you? That way, my sister's injustice will never be redressed! Xue'er, Xue'er—"

Li Qinglu frowned: "Gag him!"

If they kept making such a racket, not only could other passing ships hear what they were saying, but even people on the shore could hear what they were saying.

The cabin quickly fell silent.

Yang Qinwu was tightly bound, and his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cotton cloth, so he couldn't move at all.

Li Qingluo then got up and walked towards Yang Qinwu.

Yang Qinwu stared at her with bloodshot eyes, filled with hatred.

The look in his eyes was as if he wanted to devour her alive.

Li Qingluo said indifferently, "You hate the wrong person. If you really have such a strong desire to avenge your sister, you should go find the real murderer who killed Mei Xue."

Since Yang Qinwu couldn't speak, he could only listen to Li Qingluo.

However, she was dressed as a man but was actually a woman, and she was cunning and calculating, so she was obviously not a simple person.

Li Qing walked back and forth slowly: "To tell you the truth, I hate Li Kechuan just as much as you do!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Deng knew that these old women could no longer listen to such things.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately led the remaining nannies, Que'er, and Meishuang out.

Soon, only the two of them remained in the room.

At this point, no one would care about such details as a man and a woman being alone in a room.

Li Qinglu squatted down in front of Yang Qinwu.

Staring into his eyes, he asked him, word by word, "Yang Qinwu, if I give you a chance, are you willing to go all out?"

After an incense stick had burned, Li Qingluo untied Yang Qinwu.

"Commander Yang, it's up to you that day."

Yang Qinwu still had doubts. He stared at the young lady of the Li family in front of him and wondered: Could there really be such siblings who hated each other so much?

That's incredible.

However, what she said also makes a lot of sense.

If he alone wanted to avenge his sister, he would probably have to risk his life, but he still wouldn't be able to touch Li Kechuan in the slightest.

Therefore, even though he knew he was being used by the woman in front of him, he really had no other choice.

And it's something they're happy to do.

Yang Qinwu clasped his hands in a fist salute and was about to leave when a loud commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Que'er knocked on the door. "Miss, I think I've seen the eldest young master."

Li Qingluo told them to come in quickly.

Que'er came in and said, "The young master seems to be looking for someone, but there just happened to be some trouble at the opera troupe, so he didn't see any of us."

Li Qingluo nodded, but Yang Qinwu rushed out without looking back.

Li Qingluo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Yang Qinwu, don't act impulsively and ruin the plan!"

Yang Qinwu ignored him, jumped off the small boat, and used a long pole to sail towards the stage.

There was a stage on the banks of the Qinhuai River, facing the river. People who wanted to watch the performance had to board a large boat on the riverbank.

Therefore, both the boat and the opera troupe were referred to as the "opera boat" by the people of Jinling City.

Because of its unique style and experience, the theater boat is always packed with guests.

Sparrow said that several people died over there today, because a group of cultists had infiltrated and were killing people indiscriminately.

"Miss, are you going to chase after that man surnamed Yang?" Granny Deng asked.

Li Qinglu shook her head: "Forget it. If we go out now, Li Kechuan will definitely find out, and it will be counterproductive to alert him. Besides, he can't beat Li Kechuan. He'll just have to run into a brick wall and realize that I'm the only way out for him."

Granny Deng and Que'er nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, we should head back too."

Just as Li Qingluo and her group disembarked amidst the chaos on the river, they were met head-on by several galloping horses.

Although they quickly moved to the side of the road, they were still forced to almost fall into the river.

Sparrow, protecting Li Qingluo, watched the silhouettes of the fast horses and couldn't help but complain, "Who are these people? This is a bustling place, how can they be so arrogant?! What if they hurt someone?"

A passerby quickly advised her, "Shh! Young lady, don't shout. Those are people from the Dali Temple. If they hear you, they might arrest you for disrupting official business, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Sparrow frowned: "They're running rampant like this, there's no justice in this world!"

Li Qingluo tugged at Que'er: "The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is Prince Su. This man is extremely dangerous. Don't say anything more. Let's go!"

Que'er then held back, and the group hurriedly left the riverbank.

After they had all left for a long time, Li Kechuan dragged his slightly injured arm and returned to the shore with a gloomy expression.

"Young General, are you alright?"

When the servants and attendants rushed over and saw Li Kechuan's arm stained with blood, they were all shocked.

Li Kechuan raised his hand and slapped his attendant across the face.

"Useless! You can't even find the person? Are you saying I can't find them either?"
