Chapter 71 Is there an older brother in this world?

These words immediately startled everyone around who were listening to the commotion.

"Such shocking news, about siblings having an incestuous relationship, you'd better not speculate! Be careful that the Li family doesn't find out and try to kill you!"

"If they dare to do such despicable things, why are they afraid of me saying anything?"

"To be honest, even though the eldest daughter of the Li family is dead, her brother still misses her so much. Just how beautiful was she? I even regret that I never got to see her face when she was alive!"

"What good is her beauty if she chooses such a violent way to die by self-immolation? What a terrifying nature this woman has!"

As it happened, Li Qingzhu, who was hiding in the crowd and wearing a veil, heard every single word of these words.

When she returned to Prince Yun's private residence, suppressing her anger, she smashed all the porcelain in the room to pieces to vent her rage.

Why would he do that?!

"Who exactly is that maid? Investigate her!"

"Brother, how could you find someone else to replace Zhu'er? Even if Zhu'er is dead, she should still be unique in your heart!"

Li Qingzhu was completely unable to accept this. She sat on the stool, and soon her face was covered with tears.

Now everyone in Jinling City must find her terrifying.

To say that she set herself on fire was an overly drastic attempt to die, or that she caused General Li, who had a promising future, to lose a leg.

They even speculated that she and her brother had an affair!

Yes, she was usually quite close to her brother, but they never actually did anything inappropriate!

And how can you blame her for all of this?

Even if my brother broke his leg, it was because he was useless and couldn't beat those people; it was his own fault.

She couldn't control this either!

However, His Highness Prince Yun was becoming increasingly impatient with her for keeping her virginity and refusing to give herself to him.

But if it weren't for his brother's matter provoking the prince, he wouldn't have suddenly become so impatient.

Things are not going according to her and Prince Yun's plan, and seem to be going further and further astray.

Why is this happening?

No, she couldn't let this continue to spiral out of control...

She needed to go home; she needed to find a chance to return to the General's Mansion as soon as possible!

Once Liu Cao'er from the countryside and the Zhuang family have finalized their marriage, she needs to quickly find an opportunity to return to the Li family and stabilize the situation.

At that time, her parents and brother, who had already lost her, would cherish and love her even more, and she would still be the most noble eldest daughter of the Li family!

Everything will naturally return to normal...

"Someone! Go to Li Family Village outside the city and deliver a letter to me!"

Li Qingluo finally got her ten-day appointment with Shen He.

During these ten days, the fake Chen He never came to the general's mansion again. Although Li Qingluo was still practicing martial arts diligently, she would think of this matter every time she picked up her sword.

Even in broad daylight, stepping into the mortuary still evokes a chilling sense of unease.

Today, besides Granny Deng and Que'er, there are eight other nannies and maids who know kung fu, who have all come here with Li Qingluo.

However, once they arrived outside the mortuary, Li Qingluo forcefully made them stay outside.

Although Granny Deng and the others initially refused, Li Qingluo said, "Granny, have you forgotten what happened that night? You could get lost right under the General's mansion's nose, let alone this mortuary?"

"Instead of you all going in and getting distracted or drugged, it's better for you all to stay alert and guard outside. If there's any danger, I'll call out, and then you can come in."

The nanny and maids then held back and did not come in for the time being.

To be honest, if an ordinary woman were to enter this mortuary, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the situation.

Even though Li Qingluo had already died once and even been a ghost, seeing the coffins on the ground, smelling the stench of decay, and the white curtains covering the courtyard, she still felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

A shadow flashed past behind me.

Li Qingluo immediately turned around.

All she held in her hand was a sword.

She knew that with her current skills, even if Shen He wanted to test her again, she would surely lose.

Therefore, Li Qingluo drew his sword only to guard against other variables.

Another shadow—

Li Qingluo quickly drew her sword and called out, "Master?"

The entire mortuary is empty today.

Li Qingluo didn't believe that ghosts could manifest themselves, so it could only be humans causing trouble.

She walked step by step toward the place where the shadow had flashed, but before she got close, Chen He called out to her from behind: "Luo'er, where are you going?"

Li Qingluo turned around and saw that it was indeed Shen He, which made her feel a chill run down her spine.

Who were those two dark figures just now?

Shen He walked towards her, dressed in black with her hair tied up high.

Seeing that she was dressed as a man, Li Qingluo was puzzled, but remembering that she herself always went out dressed as a man, she did not ask any further questions.

She first bowed to Chen He in greeting, then went straight to the point and asked, "Master, were you the one from Yueming Garden that night?"

Shen He stopped in her tracks, a smile on her face: "Since you've already guessed, why ask any more questions? Come with me, and I'll tell you the truth you want to know."

Shen He turned around and led Li Qingluo into the house.

Passing by those coffins, some of the highly decomposed corpses were incredibly smelly.

Therefore, Li Qingluo had no choice but to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Shen He seemed very familiar with this place. When she arrived at the back hall, she moved a table aside, revealing a tunnel underneath.

After Chen He jumped down, Li Qinglu hesitated for a moment, but still jumped down after him.

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"

Seeing that she had come down without saying a word, Shen He couldn't help but ask.

Li Qingluo: "Master, do you know how?"

In fact, Li Qingluo was just taking a gamble.

Shen He's act of playing tricks in Mingyue Garden must have a purpose. If that purpose is for herself, then it's too much trouble and unnecessary. After all, she's with her every day, so it's hard to say when she'll make her move.

The depths of the tunnel were pitch black.

Shen He led Li Qingluo forward, and then said, "Luo'er, do you know that you actually have a living brother in this world?"
