Chapter 86 Is the lady following a ghost?

Li Qing hurriedly caught up from behind and happened to see the woman turn around and look at him when she heard the sound.

Upon seeing the Qu family, she let out a startled scream.

Then, covering his already veiled face, he quickly entered the room next door.

Qu stood still and did not go forward.

Manager Cheng was busy coaxing both sides, and by the time Madam Qu and the others returned to the private room, Madam Qu's anger had clearly dissipated.

Since Li Qingluo had come all this way, she naturally had to pick out a few good items.

She casually gestured to Huan Jie'er, but occasionally glanced at Madam Qu, who was sitting to the side looking lost and dejected.

See it?

After all, she was her precious darling whom she had raised for sixteen years. Even if Li Qingzhu was wearing a mask, how could Qu Shi, as her mother, not recognize her?

That figure must have appeared in his dreams countless times.

Qu's loss of composure made Granny Chang sweat profusely with anxiety.

Qingyi brought over the tea, and after taking a couple of sips, Madam Qu suddenly stood up: "I need to go out for a bit!"

After saying that, she left the private room again, not caring that Li Qingluo was still there.

Granny Chang and Qingyi didn't even have time to care about Li Qingluo, the second young lady, and hurriedly followed her out.

Li Qingluo looked at Granny Deng, who nodded slightly and followed her out.

It took an hour for Granny Deng to return.

"Miss, Madam has returned to the carriage to wait for you. Just put the items you chose on the General's Mansion's account."

Li Qingluo pointed, and the maids of Wangchunlou immediately wrapped up all the dozen or so pieces of jewelry.

"Does Huan-jie like it?"

Li Qinglu bent down and asked her half-sister, "Li Qinghuan has seen the world today, what doesn't she like?"

She was staring longingly at the jewelry, seemingly reluctant to part with it.

Li Qingluo: "Go pick one out for your aunt too, secretly."

Li Qinghuan's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, sister!"

Cui'er accompanied Li Qinghuan to choose some more. Li Qinglu walked to the window and looked down, seeing that the General's Mansion's carriage had already stopped downstairs.

After Deng Mama came up behind her, she whispered, "Madam bumped into Li Qingzhu. I'm afraid Li Qingzhu was also quite startled. She didn't choose anything and was about to leave."

"As luck would have it, the lady saw her again as she went out. Although she kept her face covered, the lady still followed her all the way downstairs and watched Li Qingzhu get into the carriage."

"Young lady, tell me, has Madam confirmed this matter?"

Li Qingluo: "You can fool yourself just because you haven't seen her face. Do you think she now hopes Li Qingzhu can be brought back to life, or would she rather she just die?"

Granny Deng chuckled, "This old servant can't guess what Madam is thinking."

Li Qingluo plucked a flower and threw it down: "Some people, when they die, are like a white moonlight. But if they come back to life, they're just a shadow in the gutter!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the carriage downstairs suddenly move.

Granny Deng craned her neck, looking astonished: "Isn't Madam waiting for Miss? Where is she going?"

Today, the manor only sent out one carriage. If Madam Qu leaves, how will their young ladies get back?

Granny Deng was a little angry: "Madam is really disregarding your feelings!"

Li Qingluo was not angry.

She was already used to the Qu family ignoring her; hadn't they even conspired with Li Kechuan to set a trap for her before?

What does that matter?

"If I'm not mistaken, she must be resentful and went to investigate Li Qingzhu's carriage. Granny Deng, shall we go and take a look?"

Although it was phrased as a suggestion, Li Qingluo immediately took action.

She told Cui'er to take Li Qinghuan back to the mansion first, while she, along with Granny Deng and Que'er, hurried downstairs and followed the carriage in the direction it was heading.

Granny Deng was so flustered by her young lady's antics that her heart was practically leaping out of her throat.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to put a veil on Li Qingluo's face.

“My lady, why don’t you and Que’er return to the manor? Let this old servant go with you. It’s too dangerous for you to travel without a carriage and servant…”

Li Qingluo: "Granny, stop talking! Look quickly!"

Li Qingluo grabbed Deng Mama's hand and pointed ahead.

In broad daylight, a restaurant caught fire!

The streets were in chaos, and although people were fighting the fire below the restaurant, there were still figures moving around upstairs, and some people even jumped down from the building with their bodies on fire!

Granny Deng exclaimed "Oh my god!" and pulled Li Qingluo to the side to hide.

"Girl, you can't go that way!"

Li Qingluo, however, saw the general's carriage and was trying to slip into an alley.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage really did disappear.

Li Qingluo: "Can we go around it?"

Seeing that she was so determined today, Granny Deng gritted her teeth and said, "Please come with me, young lady!"

The three of them only lingered in the crowd for a moment before disappearing again.

However, Zhuiyu, who was high up, saw everything clearly.

Although Li Qingluo was still wearing a veil, she could not escape Zhuiyu's eyes.

He immediately turned around and went to Duan Rongshi, who was watching the play, and reported, "Your Highness, I think I saw the Second Miss."

There's no need to say which second daughter it is.

After all, this is the only girl they can mention to their prince right now.

Duan Rongshi looked at Zhuiyu, seemingly unconcerned, and asked only, "How many remnants of the Lotus Sect escaped?"

Zhuiyu: "Five! Our people are doing everything they can to capture them."

Granny Deng really has a way with things.

We went in through a cloth shop, then came out from the back, and turned around to reach the back street of the burning restaurant!

There were far fewer people here, but there was still a bustling crowd watching the spectacle.

Granny Deng then led Li Qingluo and Que'er to a teahouse.

The teahouse was in a very special location; from the third floor, one could see the burning restaurant clearly.

When Li Qingluo saw that Granny Deng had put up a sign, the shopkeeper immediately led them up to the third floor.

Li Qingluo could see clearly that the plaque was the same one her grandmother had given her.

A slight thought crossed her mind, but she didn't ask any more questions. She followed them up to the third floor, and just as she was about to go down from the other side, she saw Li Qingzhu's figure there!

Li Qingluo looked at Granny Deng, who was also surprised: "What's she doing here? Is that lady following a ghost?"

Li Qingluo: "She must have discovered her mother's whereabouts long ago."

Therefore, Li Qingzhu had long since shaken off the Qu family.

At this moment, Li Qingzhu entered a private room.

Before Li Qingluo could speak, Deng Mama understood: "Miss, this old servant understands."

Granny Deng glanced at the shopkeeper, who immediately ushered them into the room next to the elegant room, a more spacious one.

At this moment, Li Qingluo had no time to think about why the shopkeeper listened to Granny Deng so much. She just quickly went to the wall and listened to the next room.

Seeing her action, Granny Deng immediately smiled. She went to the corner and pushed the lamp on the floor. The wall slowly moved, and the original thick wall immediately lost a section!

The voices from next door were immediately clear to my ears, as if they were right in front of me.
