Chapter 89 Li Qingzhu was beaten and pissed herself in fear?

Li Qinglu shook her head and said, "Young lady, I'm really scared of you. I only opened the door for you out of kindness after you begged for help, but you almost caused the three of us to lose our lives."

"If we hadn't been quick-witted, we would probably have ended up like your murdered maids, right?"

"I wouldn't dare help you with anything anymore!"

Li Qinglu bit her lip and turned her head away.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingzhu burst into tears and stared at Li Qingluo and the others with incredibly pitiful and pleading eyes.

Sparrow whispered, "Girl, let's ignore her."

Li Qingluo: "I know."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside again, heading towards them.

Li Qingluo and the other two immediately lowered their heads and took Seb into their mouths again, pretending that nothing had happened.

When the three of them came back in, Li Qingzhu seemed to want to complain. She straightened up and kept whimpering, while raising her head toward Li Qingluo and the others.

Unfortunately, none of the three understood what she meant.

Moreover, after observing Li Qingluo and the other two, seeing their innocent expressions and their obedient behavior, Li Qingzhu's side, on the contrary, kept making a ruckus.

An impatient bandit raised his hand and slapped Li Qingzhu hard across the face.

"What's all the noise about? If you keep making noise, I'll kill you!"

Li Qingzhu's face instantly swelled up. She whimpered and screamed in pain, but could only collapse into the arms of the woman beside her. However, after screaming once, she didn't even dare to cry out again.

As darkness fell, another person held a torch while the other two squatted down and untied Li Qingzhu and Li Qingluo's hands.

"Write!"

They tore off a piece from each of their skirts and spread it on the ground.

Li Qingzhu sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing how to write, since they hadn't even provided a pen and ink.

Li Qingluo looked at her fingers, raised her hand, and bit them open.

Then drops of blood fell onto the brocade cloth, and she wrote the letter as soon as she put pen to paper.

Li Qingzhu was afraid of pain and kept hiding her hands behind her back. The bandit grabbed her and pulled her to the front, cutting a large gash in her hand with a knife.

Blood immediately gushed out like a fountain, and Li Qingzhu almost fainted again. Then, the same thug who had just hit her slapped her across the other side of her face, even slapping the gag out of her mouth.

"You wretch! I'm telling you this nicely, but if you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite. I'm afraid this precious flower of yours can't withstand my few blows."

Li Qingzhu trembled with fear, but had no choice but to honestly say, "Gentlemen, I was just talking nonsense before. I am not actually a member of any prince's family!"

"In truth, I am Li Qingzhu, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane. Please, spare me! I don't know any prince at all—"

"You dare to lie to me?"

Upon hearing this, the bandit became even angrier and grabbed Li Qingzhu by the collar: "You slut! I don't care what kind of noblewoman you are! You deserve to die for deceiving me—"

Just as the other person was about to grab Li Qingzhu's neck with another palm, she was stopped by another person who had been silent all along.

"Stop! Who are you?"

With her eyes closed and her face streaked with tears, Li Qingzhu replied, "I...I am indeed Li Qingzhu, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane..."

The man scoffed, "Still dare to lie? You'd better tell the truth!"

"Four months ago, a great fire broke out at the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane. Rumor has it that the eldest daughter—no, now the whole street is saying she was just a fake young lady—committed suicide by self-immolation in that fire!"

"If you are her, then who is the one who died?"

"How dare you swagger around in the street, deceiving others by claiming to be a member of some prince's family?"

"Since you're not being honest, I might as well pull out your tongue first!"

After the man shouted, a strange smell suddenly wafted from the room, and then everyone saw that a puddle of water had appeared under Li Qingzhu's skirt.

Everyone: ...

Even the thug who was choking her immediately threw her aside in disgust.

"This is it? And she's the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion? It's disgusting! It's filthy!"

Unable to bear the humiliation, yet even more afraid of death, Li Qingzhu could only cling to herself, pleading, "Spare me, spare me. I really am Li Qingzhu, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, I really am..."

Judging from her appearance, she was so frightened that she was on the verge of losing her mind.

The man holding the torch said at that moment, "I don't think she's telling the truth at all. Let's just kill her!"

Li Qingzhu didn't want to die!

She grabbed the bandit's leg and cried out, "I have it! I have a token, I really have a token!"

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant that she wore close to her neck.

"This is a jade pendant my mother gave me when I came of age. There is absolutely only one of its kind in the world! If you take it and the letter to my mother, she will definitely believe it!"

"Then she will know I'm not dead. She'll come with money to ransom me, and my parents will even do whatever you want!"

"They cherish me like a precious gem, and they would never abandon me!"

Holding the jade pendant in their hands, the three exchanged a glance.

Then tell Li Qingzhu to quickly write the blood oath and stop wasting words.

Li Qingzhu wept, her face streaked with tears, and buried her head, not daring to delay any longer, as she wrote a full handkerchief.

On the other hand, Li Qingluo had already finished writing and even watched a play.

When Li Qinglu handed the three men a few brief words, they gave her a deep look.

"Just those few sentences?"

Unlike ordinary girls who are terrified, Li Qingluo was completely different from Li Qingzhu, and was so calm that she didn't seem like she had been kidnapped at all.

This made all three of them realize something was amiss.

They could have killed her!

However, if one is also looking to make money, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Their Lotus Sect is already short of money, so what's wrong with letting these high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling contribute more?

That's why Li Qingluo was able to appear here safely.

But she wasn't afraid?

Is he faking it, or is he genuinely unafraid of them?

"Who exactly are you from?"

Li Qingluo removed the cloth from her mouth and quietly said, "Gentlemen, may I have a word with you in private?"

Holding the two letters written in blood, the relatively calmer bandit stared at her but didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to say?"

Li Qingluo: "Naturally, I have the information the three of you want. If you are not satisfied, you are welcome to kill me."

The three exchanged another glance. The person holding the blood-written letter clearly didn't take her seriously, so he turned and walked away, saying, "Come with me."

Just as Li Qingluo was about to get up, she was grabbed by Granny Deng and Que'er.

"girl……"

Li Qinglu shook her head at them, indicating that she knew what was going on, and then walked out without hesitation.

"Tell me, who exactly are you—?"

As soon as she stepped outside, a knife was held against Li Qingluo's neck.
