Chapter 68 Luo'er has no fatherly feelings for you.

Li Qingluo: "Alright, I understand. But now, Granny, please take some people and come with me to Luoxia Garden!"

She was the one who found Lou Shi.

Therefore, she absolutely could not allow the human tragedy of mothers and daughters being forcibly separated to happen because of her.

Luoxia Garden.

When Li Qingluo rushed there, Luoxia Garden was filled with weeping.

Huan'er was held tightly in the arms of a nanny, repeatedly crying out, "Mother—Mother—Father, please don't sell my mother, Father, please, Huan'er will be good, Huan'er will never cry again—Mother—"

The human traffickers have arrived.

He was prying open Lou's mouth and teeth, examining the quality of her "goods".

Lou was sobbing softly, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with utter despair.

Even when Li Qingluo arrived, she could only look at her helplessly, her eyes seeming to say: she truly regretted coming back... she only begs that Second Miss, you can take better care of Huan'er in the future...

Li Qinglu clenched her fists and stepped forward to stand in front of Li Chaojing.

"Luo'er greets Father."

Li Qingluo looked up, and Li Chaojing saw her face clearly.

Even though he had heard from Madam Qu that his daughter's appearance had changed drastically, he was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw her.

She has indeed changed a lot.

Although she still couldn't compare to Pearl's appearance and demeanor back then, the changes she had made in such a short time were truly impressive.

Given more time, she might very well surpass Pearl's brilliance.

I heard she also likes martial arts?

His reading and writing skills have also improved somewhat.

Li Chaojing thought to himself: As expected, he is his bloodline and was personally taught by the old lady. Even though he came a few years late, how bad could he be?

Thinking of this, Li Chaojing's expression softened somewhat towards his daughter.

What brings you here?

Li Qingluo didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him and went straight to the point: "Please, Father, forgive Aunt Lou."

When Li Chaojing heard that she actually wanted to interfere in this matter, his face darkened again: "Who do you think you are to dare to meddle in this matter?!"

Li Chaojing was truly enraged this time.

He felt that his newly found daughter was far too ignorant of manners and etiquette.

As expected of an uneducated girl raised in the countryside, when did she become entitled to speak about family matters?

Li Qingluo was not flustered or afraid of Li Chaojing's anger.

She said calmly, "I am only advising my father to think twice before acting as a daughter. I am also expressing my concern for my younger sister whom I have never met, as an older sister."

"If Father refuses to accept Luo'er's plea, Luo'er will naturally not dare to say anything more."

"It's just that Luo'er doesn't want her father to regret it in the future, so she's giving this advice."

Li Chaojing: "Regret? What do I regret? It was just selling myself into a lowly concubine. Did I break the laws of Liang?"

Li Qingluo: "Father, you can certainly buy and sell the Lou family at will, but do you really want to completely lose another daughter's heart?"

"Perhaps in your heart, Huan'er is just one of your illegitimate daughters, but how many daughters do you have in this mansion now?"

"Luo'er and Huan'er may be insignificant to you. But how do you feel about us? Don't you really care?"

"To be honest, Luo'er, I don't really have any fatherly feelings for you. But Huan'er is only six years old, and she has a long time to spend with you. Do you really want her to watch her father sell her own mother?"

“The mother and daughter have depended on each other ever since she was born. For Huan’er, nothing else in this family matters, only Aunt Lou is the most important to her.”

“Father, you didn’t watch Luo’er grow up, but please watch Huan’er grow up.”

"She is one of the few children you have left in this world."

A general's mansion has only three bloodlines!

This is a rare occurrence in the entire city of Jinling.

At that moment, Li Chaojing's heart was indeed struck a heavy blow.

Looking at his blood-related daughter before him, he felt a sharp, piercing pain welling up inside him.

She actually said so bluntly that she had no fatherly feelings for him...?

Now they don't even bother with polite formalities anymore?

Li Qingluo was right about one thing: he only has three bloodlines in this world!

One of them has a broken leg and is lying in bed; his life is essentially over.

There are two more standing right in front of him.

The older one had no feelings for him, and the younger one had just returned home. At this moment, their eyes revealed a pleading look, along with a hint of resentment...

As if struck by lightning, Li Chaojing suddenly became much more alert and took a hard half-step back.

"you--"

Li Qingluo's words were too blunt.

But does he really want Huanjie to harbor resentment and hate him as her father because of this?

She is six years old and has already forgotten things.

Li Chaojing: "But she, a concubine, actually instigated the young lady not to get close to her stepmother. Isn't such a short-sighted lady the one who harmed her?"

"If she can grow up under the care of the mistress, even if she is only a concubine's daughter, her future will surely be better than that of a concubine's daughter who grows up in the concubine's courtyard! Haven't I thought about making plans for her?!"

Li Qinglu sneered inwardly.

Because he grew up with his aunt, and suffered a lot of hardship and mistreatment as he grew up, he developed a strong attachment to his stepmother.

If I had known this would happen, why did I have to give birth to illegitimate children in the first place?

It's because they can't control their own desires and their crotch.

He outwardly grieved for his son's fate, but when he encountered a concubine, he would do whatever he pleased.

She can turn around and sell people off coldly and ruthlessly, even if they are the mother of a daughter!

He truly is the most ruthless, selfish, and vicious man in the world.

Li Qingluo despised her father in her heart, but on the surface she still acted as if she was thinking of him and being considerate.

"Father, if you are at ease, why don't you let Luo'er take care of my third sister?"

Li Chaojing's gaze fell on Li Qingluo again: "You...?"

Li Qingluo: "In this family, only my grandmother is close to me. If Father doesn't mind, why not let me get closer to another sister? Anyway, if we sisters can get close, wouldn't that be beneficial to the General's Mansion?"

These words left Li Chaojing speechless once again!

Today, Li Qingluo's words seemed to pierce Li Chaojing's heart, making it difficult for Li Chaojing to cope!

When did she become so eloquent?

Or perhaps, she was always like this, only she had concealed her brilliance in the past?

Li Chaojing began to examine his own flesh and blood again.

It took him a long time to agree to the matter.

"In that case, you can take her with you for now! However, if Madam Lou causes any more trouble, I will treat her in a way that is even more painful than being sold off!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Granny Deng and the others quickly stepped forward, chased away the slave traders, and helped Aunt Lou up from the ground.

Huan-jie and Aunt Lou hugged each other tightly, crying their hearts out.

Seeing this, Li Qingluo and the others quietly left.

Later that evening, Aunt Lou, with red eyes, brought Li Qinghuan back to the Red Maple Pavilion.

This time, upon seeing Li Qingluo, she pulled Li Qinghuan over and knelt down with her.
