Chapter 602 Your husband is Luo'er's grandfather!

"Besides, I've gotten used to his company over the years. To be honest, I'm not used to him being gone."

"Luo'er, do you still remember the time when your parents and the Qu family conspired to poison me?"

“At that time, Luo Fan was not there. If it weren’t for you, I would definitely be dead.”

When the past was mentioned, Li Qingluo gripped Madam Pei's hand tightly.

The collapse and suffocation at that time were unforgettable for Li Qingluo.

Madam Pei patted Li Qingluo's hand reassuringly: "Although this matter is over, it has still bothered your Grandpa Luo to this day."

"He dislikes your father very much."

“I asked him to treat your father, but he just did it perfunctorily.”

“As long as I’m not around, he stares at your father with such a cold gaze that it’s like he’s looking at a dead man. It frightened Zhang Mama and the others, who said they had never seen your grandfather Luo with such an expression.”

"He is usually as gentle and kind as ever, treating everyone with kindness and compassion, but he is completely different when it comes to your father."

"However, at least he considered that I didn't kill him."

At this point, Madam Pei smiled again: "I forgot to tell you, when I was poisoned that time, your grandfather Luo rushed back from out of town. Although he tried to remain calm in front of me, he secretly cried several times when he turned away."

Li Qingluo found it very interesting.

How did you know?

Madam Pei asked with an air of arrogance, "How many people are around me?"

"They saw it."

Li Qingluo: "Were you heartbroken or happy at that time?"

Madam Pei's expression became somewhat uneasy: "I'm... I'm quite happy."

"Besides you, there is one other person in this world who is truly sincere towards me."

"Later, when I went to Miao territory with him to accompany you, I found an opportunity to talk to him and make things clear."

"He still wanted to deny it, which really angered me!"

“I gave him a good scolding, telling him he’s so old and has never even hugged a woman in his life, asking him if he has any regrets, and asking him if he still has any ambition!”

"He even looked aggrieved before saying that he was happy to do it."

"Luo'er, do you think he's stupid or not?"

Li Qingluo felt a pang of sadness.

Grandpa Luo was truly the most devoted and pure-hearted man she had ever met.

It's so nice that this kind of man is my grandmother's.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Madam Pei also wiped her eyes.

"Luo'er, your Grandpa Luo has devoted his whole life to his grandmother. How can your grandmother bear to let him be so foolish and get nothing?"

"Besides, I am no longer the beautiful General, nor the old lady of the Li family, nor the mistress there, nor the daughter of the Pei family."

“I’ve completely abandoned and no longer care about those worldly things. So why not give myself and him a chance?”

"I'm getting old, and I want to be my true self again. To break free from societal norms for the people I love."

"So, I took the initiative to tell him about getting married."

Li Qingluo: "Then is he very happy?"

When Madam Pei thought of that day, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"I almost laughed myself silly. I don't even know how to hug someone properly, I almost broke my back!"

Li Qinglu was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.

Madam Pei also found it amusing, and the grandmother and grandson laughed together.

After a while, Madam Pei sipped her tea and said, "Luo'er, your grandfather Luo never married and had no children because of his grandmother."

"Could you... call him grandfather?"

Li Qingluo: "Of course!"

She readily agreed, and that was also what she herself had in mind.

“Grandmother, although Luo’er’s surname is Li, your blood flows in my veins.”

“Your husband is Luo’er’s grandfather.”

"Don't worry, Luo'er knows what to do."

Madam Pei stroked her head with satisfaction: "Good child, your grandmother has not spoiled you for nothing."

"I heard you've made your business in Nan'an very successful, and you even opened a women's restaurant?"

"Grandma can now confidently hand over Tianfeng Trading Company to you completely and leave it to you alone..."

The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time inside the house.

It wasn't until Granny Zhang knocked on the door to say that the food was ready that the grandmother and grandson left the room hand in hand.

A group of people were already waiting outside the courtyard.

Li Qingluo walked through the crowd and looked at Li Jingchuan.

Coincidentally, Li Jingchuan was also looking at her.

She walked over quickly and smiled slightly at Li Jingchuan: "Brother, congratulations on becoming a father."

Although the brother and sister have rarely been together in the past two years, they have often corresponded.

Over time, and being blood-related siblings, they truly developed a bond of affection.

"Luo'er, you're going to be an aunt too."

As he spoke, Alan stepped forward.

Despite her large pregnant belly, she bent her knees and was about to kneel down.

"Junior Uncle, thank you for your help. Master and A'duo were able to survive. They even killed their enemy to avenge the entire Wuyue Sect."

“Alan has no way to repay this kindness, so he can only kowtow in gratitude.”

Everyone was taken aback.

They quickly went to pull Alan away.

Li Qingluo quickly reached out her hand, but Alan stubbornly shouted, "Don't pull me!"

"Alan absolutely has to kowtow to this!"

Li Qingluo looked at her grandmother, then at Li Jingchuan, and then at Jinhua and Aduo.

"You all need to talk to her!"

Jin Hua: "Let her kneel. Otherwise, she won't feel at ease."

Li Qingluo: "But she's my sister-in-law now. And she's pregnant!"

"Senior sister, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Furthermore, do you not even consider me a member of the Witch Moon Cult? Seeking revenge is what I should do, and all this thanking makes me feel like an outsider!"

Jin Hua smiled and said, "Luo'er, when you joined the sect, it was true that our Wuyue Sect used some methods to keep you here in a less than honorable way."

"And my master's prophecy has come true. You are indeed a great benefactor of our Witch Moon Cult."

"Although it is true that you have been a member of the Witch Moon Cult for your entire life, this cannot erase your kindness to the entire Witch Moon Cult."

"You should still thank them. But these are two separate matters."

"Moreover, we Miao women are not that fragile."

Aduo, her eyes also red, said, "Junior Uncle, please don't worry about it. Senior Sister wasn't there when these things happened, so she's been feeling incredibly guilty ever since. It's worse than killing her."

"That's good, then she won't have to keep it on her mind."

Li Qingluo could only grit her teeth and watch as Alan kowtowed earnestly to her.

"Brother!"

Li Qingluo looked at Li Jingchuan and winked at him vigorously.

Li Jingchuan simply smiled and shook his head, "Let her be."

During the time he was receiving treatment in Miao territory, Alan took care of him.

He was gentle and kind, and Alan was considerate and tender. As they gradually developed feelings for each other, Li Jingchuan, worried about his short life, suppressed his emotions.

It was Alan who took the initiative to win him over.

Alan was originally supposed to be the next leader of the Witch Moon Cult.

But after Jinhua learned of her thoughts, she did not force her or separate the two of them.

That's why Alan felt even more distressed after the Witch Moon Cult's incident.

After learning the truth, she rushed back without stopping, intending to go to Nan'an to reunite with her master and junior sister, and to contribute her own efforts. However, she unexpectedly discovered that she was pregnant at this time.

There's nothing she can do.

Although she forced a smile every day, Li Jingchuan watched as she became more and more depressed.

If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and help the young mistress up."

Madam Pei shook her head helplessly, "This matter will be over from now on."

"Alan, you must not worry so much anymore."

"You have avenged your sect, and your master and junior sister have come to be with you. You should cheer up. We all care about you."

Alan wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, Grandmother."

Li Qingluo stepped forward to help her up: "Let's address each other by our seniority. You can call me Junior Uncle, and I'll call you Sister-in-law, okay?"

"Let's go have dinner together, sister-in-law?"

Alan burst into laughter through her tears, "Junior Uncle, please stop teasing me."

Li Qingluo: "Okay, sister-in-law."

After dinner, Li Jingchuan and Li Qingluo went for a stroll in the garden.

Li Jingchuan felt ashamed when he talked about the past.

"Luo'er, my mother and uncle... have done things that have wronged you."

“Especially my mother, she has always been ashamed to face you. This time, when I brought Alan back to Nanjing to visit relatives, she saw with her own eyes that I had recovered well, and that you and my grandmother accepted me without holding a grudge. She was very ashamed.”

She asked me to tell you in person... I'm sorry.

"As for your uncle... I know you hate him. If it weren't for his interference, Liu Sui'er wouldn't have died."

He also said that if hating him would make you feel better, he wouldn't mind if you hated him for the rest of your life.

"But I understand that the root of all this is me."

"Luo'er, what I owe you, I can only repay in the next life. I don't know how many more years I can live with this body."

"Poor Alan and his unborn child, I'll have to abandon them in the future..."

As he spoke, Li Jingchuan coughed a few more times.

Seeing that he was clearly so weak that he could barely stand, yet he still insisted on talking to her, Li Qingluo felt terrible.

She stepped forward and patted Li Jingchuan's back, gently stroking him.

And then he spoke his mind: "You don't owe me anything."

“It is my biological mother, Ms. Qu, who owes you this.”

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have this body, and you wouldn't have lost several of your siblings."

"It's me. I owe you more."

Besides, even if you owed it, didn't you repay it with your life in your past life?

Unfortunately, even though Li Jingchuan committed suicide in his previous life to stop Zheng Wanxiu and her brother's conspiracy, he still died.

Fortunately, Li Jingchuan and he are both still alive in this life.

Li Jingchuan: "Then let's not mention it."

"Luo'er, will you come for a walk over there with me?"

Before long, Li Jingchuan was too tired to walk.

Li Qingluo personally escorted him back to his room, and after Li Jingchuan rested, she also returned to her own courtyard.

Everything in the courtyard felt just like home in Nanjing—comfortable, cozy, and beautiful.

Li Qinglu slept comfortably for half an hour.

After getting up, I learned that my grandmother was still resting, so I wandered around the yard by myself.

The fish in the pond were big and fat, so Li Qingluo sat on a rock and grabbed a handful of fish food to feed them.

With a 'thump'.

Someone threw a stone from a high place behind them.

Li Qingluo immediately turned her head to look behind her.

Then I saw two old women running into the back courtyard in a panic.

"What happened? How did he get up on the wall?"

"Heavens above, come down quickly—"

"Quick, lock the door!"

"We absolutely mustn't let the girl find out."

"It's enough that the old lady knows!"

However, Li Qingluo had already seen it.

She heard a "ouch" from the yard, which must have been the person being pulled to the ground.

Then came his shout: "What are you doing?"

"Why are you locking me up?!"

"I want my mother, I want my mother—"

"Hmm—"

His mouth was covered, but he still groaned quite loudly.

Que'er looked at Li Qingluo with surprise and doubt: "Miss, it seems to be... your father?"
