Chapter 99: Fiancé questions why he faked his death by self-immolation.

The moment Li Qingzhu saw Zhuang Wei, she was overjoyed.

Although she has now chosen Prince Yun, in reality, the one she loves most in her heart is still Zhuang Wei.

He is the third young master of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion!

In terms of background, appearance, social status, and education, how many people in the entire city of Jinling could be found like him?

If he were the heir apparent, I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble, thinking about how to painfully push him away!

But now even he...!

Thinking of her father's coldness when they reunited today.

The mother was so heartbroken that she fainted.

Furthermore, even Zhuang Sanlang, who grew up with her as her childhood sweetheart and had long been in love with her, was asking her about Li Qingluo at this moment of reunion!

Li Qingzhu was already filled with resentment about this matter.

What exactly are Li Qingluo's abilities that make everyone so concerned about her?

She had only been back in the General's Mansion for a few months, while Li Qingzhu had been there for sixteen years. Could sixteen years be less than four or five months?

Li Qingzhu clenched her fists, her eyes red, and said sadly, "Yes. Sister Luo'er really..."

Li Qingzhu choked up and didn't say the result, but who didn't understand what the result was?

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't put Mother in such a difficult position, and if Luo'er hadn't acted impulsively and cut the rope first, we would definitely have been able to wait for Father and the others to come and rescue us!"

Li Kechuan: "Alright, Zhu'er! Even if she really dies, it's her own fate!"

"Besides, between you and her, I truly wish only you were alive. Pearl, do you know? After your accident, your brother hated her! Even though she's my blood sister, you're the only sister in my heart!"

Li Kechuan sighed after he finished speaking.

He should have felt good saying those words, but his chest felt heavy, as if a mountain of stones was pressing down on it, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Qingzhu's tears instantly turned into a smile. She looked at Li Kechuan earnestly, and then hugged him tightly again.

Zhuang Wei, who was about to walk over, stopped abruptly when he saw this scene.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, and the two siblings had always had a very good relationship. They always disregarded the difference between men and women and were always affectionate and clingy, hugging or carrying each other on their backs.

Zhuang Wei was already used to it.

Although he had felt a pang of jealousy at times, whenever he expressed the slightest opinion, Zhu'er would pout and say, "Sanlang, how can you be so petty and old-fashioned? My brother and I came from the same womb! There is no one in this world closer than us siblings. I am the brother, and the brother is me. Why do you have to care about something like this?"

From then on, Zhuang Wei treated the matter as normal.

But today, a strange feeling that I can't suppress welled up in my heart.

They are not siblings!

They didn't even come from the same womb!

What annoyed Zhuang Wei even more was the rumor that a maid who looked remarkably like Zhu'er had recently appeared in Li Kechuan's room...

He had even heard that Li Kechuan had already taken that girl as his concubine...

"Sanlang, what are you thinking about? Sanlang, I heard, I heard that you and Luo'er are engaged, is it true?"

"That's fine then. I was worried that I had delayed Sanlang. This marriage should have been between you and Luo'er, and it should have been returned to its rightful place."

"Sanlang, it's just that we're destined to be apart. In the next life, we'll meet again..."

Li Qingzhu walked up to Zhuang Wei, holding a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with tears.

She meant it all.

Li Kechuan, listening from behind, felt a pang of heartache and was about to speak when Zhuang Wei interrupted him, "Zhu'er! What's going on?!"

"Although my family does intend to renew the marriage agreement with the General's Mansion, I cannot let go of you, and therefore refuse to marry him..."

Zhuang Wei originally wanted to say "poisonous woman," but then he remembered that Zhu'er was not really dead, so he paused and immediately changed his words.

"Zhu'er, in this life, I, Zhuang Sanlang, will never marry anyone but you!"

Zhuang Wei smiled and reached out to grasp Li Qingzhu's shoulder.

His joy and delight were hard to suppress.

Originally, my family was indeed going to the General's Mansion to finalize the deal in the next couple of days.

He was locked in the courtyard for resisting and was not allowed to go anywhere.

But Pearl came back, and everything changed!

Zhuang Wei couldn't help but look at Li Qingzhu with overwhelming joy, but at the same time, another strange feeling arose in his heart.

There was even a voice that seemed to appear out of nowhere, as if it had said in his ear at some point: "Fool! You're being played like a fool and you don't even realize it."

"...Why don't you investigate your beloved fiancée...what kind of shady business has she been up to..."

So why did Pearl fake her death by self-immolation?

Qishan.

The mountains and forests were pitch black.

Amidst the howling sound, Li Qingluo hid behind a boulder.

Hearing the sounds of fighting behind her, she knew that her skills were only good enough to protect herself, so she stayed put and didn't plan to go out.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew from behind and landed on the boulder.

Hearing the sound, Li Qingluo looked up, and the dark figure had already jumped down and grabbed Li Qingluo's wrist: "Quick, come with me!"

Li Qingluo broke free: "No."

She looked quietly at Zheng Lingzhou, who was staring in astonishment, and said, "I want to go back to Jinling. We have different paths and cannot work together."

She glanced quickly at the shadow chasing after her: "You'd better hurry up and leave!"

Zheng Lingzhou was furious: "You! You're kicking me while I'm down?"

Li Qingluo: "Even if you win today, I will still return to the General's Mansion."

Zheng Lingzhou growled angrily, "What's so great about that General's Mansion?! It ruined my sister's life and made you suffer so much, and you still want to go back?"

"The world is vast and boundless, isn't it better to live freely out there? Why do you have to be confined to a small house for the rest of your life?"

"You can do whatever you want outside. You can be whoever you want!"

"Luo'er, come with me, I will protect you!"

After he finished speaking, a cold laugh came from the boulder: "Your Lotus Cult is nothing but a bunch of desperados. You think you can protect her?"

"You will only ruin her life, and she will never be able to be her true self openly again."

Li Qingluo looked up and saw Prince Su draw his long sword and leap towards Zheng Lingzhou.

This time, Zheng Lingzhou couldn't dodge in time!

His left shoulder was pierced through.

Li Qingluo didn't want him to die because of her, so she reached out and flicked the thin rope of her bracelet, tightly binding it to Prince Su's sword. Then she shouted, "I sever all ties with you today! Go!"

Zheng Lingzhou gritted his teeth and quickly retreated, forcibly pulling himself out of the sword's edge, blood splattering all over the ground, his face turning deathly pale.

But he couldn't even care about Li Qingluo anymore, and could only turn around and rush into the darkness.

Chasing Rain and Cold Lightning, who were closing in from behind, immediately gave chase...

Prince Su coldly looked at Li Qingluo. He saw that with a flick of his sword, the supposedly incredibly strong fine thread was easily cut through, and Li Qingluo's bracelet was immediately broken in two!
