Chapter 525 What she feared most was known to the whole world!

Li Qingluo: "Let them go?"

"If she tries to harm me again, that's what I'll do if I let her go today."

Sparrow: "But the princess has already believed her sophistry. If that maid is beaten to death, we will have no evidence."

Li Qingluo: "If the maid was really beaten to death, wouldn't that completely solidify the evidence?"

Both Que'er and the shopkeeper were confused, looking bewildered.

Li Qingluo: "I only need one person to know about this. He knows the truth better than anyone else."

"That is Zhang Tingjiu!"

Li Qinglu was supposed to meet Zhang Tingjiu tonight.

How could he not know what his own daughter is like and what she's scheming about?

He poisoned the princess, attempting to frame himself, and in the end, he even arranged a backup plan to completely cover up his involvement.

This method is not clever, and it's even a bit stupid.

If he were to make a slight mistake and fail to rescue the princess today, everyone, including Zhang Tingjiu, would suffer the consequences.

He is a smart man.

After hearing it, you will naturally understand its significance.

Most importantly, he will owe Li Qingluo another favor.

Li Qingluo will not let Changning have an easy time either.

She had already spoken out today because she was afraid that she would reveal her secret, which was related to Ningyuan Temple, and the other noble ladies who heard it would naturally start to speculate.

Changning's background is already shrouded in murky rumors.

All I need to do is add fuel to the fire.

"Go. Tell Changning's backstory as truthfully as possible!"

Wasn't he afraid of the truth being exposed, so he wanted to poison the princess and commit a capital crime?

Then let the world know what you fear most.

So, if you're so capable, then go ahead and kill everyone in the world!

Sparrow happily replied, "Yes!"

Just as he finished speaking, the waiter downstairs hurriedly knocked on the door: "Master, a lady from the Yang family is here to see you."

Jiang Qiniang has arrived.

Li Qingluo got up and went out, and saw Jiang Qiniang taking off her veil and standing in the lobby of the Flower Pavilion Restaurant, looking around curiously.

From the moment she entered the restaurant, it was as if she had entered a completely new world.

When Li Qing went down to see her, she said, "Madam Nangong, this place is truly wonderful."

Li Qingluo: "If you have free time in the future, you are welcome to come often. I'll treat you to a drink."

Jiang Qiniang shook her head: "No need. I don't like drinking."

"However... if you get tired from walking around, you can have a meal here."

Li Qinglu smiled and said, "I'll treat you."

Jiang Qiniang shook her head and nodded at the same time.

With a final sigh, he said, "Let's go. Didn't you want to come back to the Jiang family with me?"

"There's no time to lose, I'll take you back now."

As she spoke, Jiang Qiniang turned around and took the veiled hat handed to her by the maid.

Go now?

After the commotion, Li Qingluo was completely sober.

She took the veil and, with Que'er by her side, followed Jiang Qiniang out of the restaurant, then boarded the Yang family's carriage.

They arrived at the Jiang family's house quickly.

Li Qingluo changed her veil into an inconspicuous one, revealing only her eyes.

After following Jiang Qiniang into the gatehouse, someone immediately noticed her.

"Seventh Miss, who is this...?"

Jiang Qiniang: "My mother is ill, and this is the female physician I invited for her."

After saying that, she led her people inside without looking to the side, not giving the gatekeeper a chance to check.

Li Qingluo hurriedly followed, and the gatekeeper hesitated to speak, but ultimately gave up.

The Jiang residence is now deathly still, and even the servants' faces are ashen.

Everyone was shrouded in the shadow of uncertainty and fear about the future.

The second branch was completely silent.

After Jiang Qiniang led Li Qingluo to the second room, she turned to Li Qingluo and said, "This is all I can do."

"I will have my maid Ling'er take you to your grandmother's courtyard."

“Madam Nangong, aside from taking lives, you can decide what to do next as you see fit, I won’t interfere.”

"Just one thing: you must take care of yourself."

This Jiang Qiniang is truly kind-hearted.

Li Qingluo nodded slowly to her, then turned and followed Ling'er out through the side door of the second room.

Ling'er dodged and weaved her way through various hidden places with Li Qingluo.

If they encounter anyone on the road, they should quickly take Li Qingluo and hide.

In short, after a series of close calls, we finally arrived near the old lady's courtyard.

"Madam Nangong, this is the place."

"How you get in is up to you."

Li Qingluo looked at the courtyard with the gate tightly locked: ?

Jiang Qiniang, you really only brought her into the Jiang family?

Li Qingluo sighed helplessly, "Fine, you can go now."

After Ling'er ran off as fast as she could, Li Qingluo and Que'er looked together at the big banyan tree outside Old Madam Jiang's courtyard.

A moment later.

The sparrow stayed in the tree to keep watch.

Li Qingluo sneaked into the old lady's courtyard alone.

This courtyard used to be quite deserted.

Suddenly, an angry shout came from inside the room: "Tell Dalang to get his ass to me!"

"This unfilial son, is he really going to just stand by and watch his brother suffer like he's dying, watch his brother go to his death?"

"What a cruel heart he has!!"

"Now even I am trapped here by him! He is a disobedient and unfilial beast!! I will personally sue him for abusing me, for locking me in this courtyard and keeping me from seeing the light of day!!"

"Is he even human?"

Although Madam Jiang's voice didn't sound very strong, it didn't seem to match the rumors that she was seriously ill.

Li Qingluo hid in a corner, listening to the two maids guarding the door whispering nervously.

"Madam is really confused. If the eldest master hadn't sent the third master to the authorities back then, the entire Jiang family would be implicated and imprisoned now."

"You killed so many people and still have ideas? Everyone saw it. How could you possibly fake it and try to shift the blame onto someone else?"

"It's really hard to be a master."

"Yes, we have all seen how filial the master has been over the years, but the old lady has never seen it."

"The master must be heartbroken too."

Both maids were wiping away tears.

However, inside the house, Old Madam Jiang was still cursing Minister Jiang.

As they continued to curse, they eventually started insulting the entire main branch of the family.

"They won't get away with this!"

"With such a cruel father, their entire eldest son's family will never have a good future!"

"His retribution will fall on his descendants."

"Those who are stupid and foolish, those who won't live long, will all suffer the same fate as Jiang Yanzhi!"

"Haha, hahahaha—"

Li Qinglu cursed under her breath: "Old poisonous woman."

Are they just the descendants of her eldest son?

Those are her own descendants.

She actually managed to say those things; she's so biased!

Just then, the door creaked open.

The tightly closed courtyard gate was unlocked again.

Li Qingluo was about to go around to the back to climb through the window, but she had to quickly hide again.

She heard the servant at the door shout in a panic, "Master! Master!"

"You, you've arrived..."

Li Qinglu thought to herself: Oh no!

If we don't quickly use witchcraft to change this old poisonous woman's mind, and if Minister Jiang listens to her pleading again and agrees to save the Third Master, things will become even more complicated!

Li Qingluo was planning to simply go into the room first. As long as she didn't open the door and used witchcraft to control the old woman, Minister Jiang wouldn't agree to the old woman's unreasonable demands.

However, she heard Minister Jiang say, "The old lady is terminally ill and has become confused, and has started to talk nonsense."

"This medicine was given by the Imperial Medical Academy."

"Go and give it to the old lady herself."

He stood at the entrance to the courtyard, seemingly not intending to go in and see his mother himself.

He simply instructed the servant behind him to hand a bowl of dark, murky medicine to the old woman at the door.
