Chapter 36 Grandmother's Fury, Brother Murders His Sister
However, nothing was stolen from the mansion.
Moreover, this matter cannot be brought to the master's attention, otherwise, they will all be punished one by one.
Anyway, nothing major happened, and the matter was simply dropped.
When Li Qingluo arrived at the dog hole, she discovered that it had been sealed off.
Thinking that it must have been done by her grandmother to prevent her from leaving the manor without permission again, Li Qingluo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If she wanted to return to the Li family quietly, she couldn't go through the front door.
Otherwise, if an unmarried woman is unable to return home for several days and is not fully clothed, she might get herself covered in mud if someone with ulterior motives sees her.
Moreover, she was even more afraid that she would be stopped by Li Kechuan's men before she even entered the gate.
Just then, a sudden downpour began.
Before long, Li Qingluo was soaked to the bone.
She tiptoed on the stone, intending to climb over the wall, but unexpectedly a familiar low voice called out from behind: "Miss?"
Li Qingluo turned around and saw that it was Granny Deng. Her body immediately swayed and she fell headfirst into the arms of the nanny who rushed over.
Li Qingluo was soaking wet and burning hot all over.
When Granny Deng saw her face and touched her body, she was immediately heartbroken and burst into tears: "Poor girl, what suffering have you endured! This old servant will take you back right away!"
Li Qingluo revealed a relieved smile, as if she had suffered endless torment and could finally take a breather. She then fainted and lost consciousness.
Actually, she just took a long nap.
When I woke up again, the high fever had subsided, and I was much more awake.
Moreover, Li Qingluo discovered that she had returned to that room in Jingci Hall.
Cui'er pushed open the door and came in. Seeing that Li Qingluo was awake, she was overjoyed.
"Sparrow, Granny, the young lady is awake!"
When Li Qingluo woke up, everyone in Jingci Hall was overjoyed. The nanny hurriedly went to the main room to report the good news to Old Madam Pei.
Before long, Madam Pei came to see her in person.
"Luo'er? How are you feeling now? Grandmother is very worried about you, child."
Li Qingluo stood there dumbfounded.
The old women standing nearby looked at her with concern, while Que'er and Cui'er were still secretly wiping away tears.
Li Qinglu asked, puzzled, "Grandmother, I'm fine. What's wrong with everyone?"
Madam Pei patted her head: "You still say you're fine. Do you even know how many wounds you have? More than twenty!"
Li Qinglu smiled faintly: "Grandmother, they are just minor injuries, nothing to worry about."
Seeing that she didn't care about her health at all, Madam Pei became angry again: "You still say you're fine?! Let's not talk about the suffering the Liu family endured and the scars they got!"
"Although Grandma has medicine to remove these scars, you should take better care of yourself now. How did you end up like this?"
Li Qingluo hesitated, looking as if she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Que'er knelt on the ground: "Miss, please punish this servant. This servant was too talkative and has already told the old lady about the day when you were forced by the eldest young master to draw blood and cut flesh for the madam."
"Also, I'll tell you about the haunting of our Red Maple Pavilion and how you were tricked into going to Chunzaitang."
Li Qingluo's eyes widened: "You! Que'er... sigh!"
Li Qingluo's eyes immediately filled with tears.
She turned her head away, seemingly with a thousand grievances to express, but unable to utter a single word.
When Madam Pei looked at her, it was as if she were seeing her former self.
At that moment, it felt as if someone had ripped her heart out...
She reached out and touched Li Qingluo's temple, letting out a long sigh.
"Are you afraid that your grandmother will be disappointed in you and worried about you?"
Li Qing's tears rolled down her cheeks and landed on her pillow.
Madam Pei held her hand tenderly, "Grandmother has investigated. Your mother does have an eye disease, but it's not serious enough to require blood or flesh to be used as medicine. All of this is a scheme she and your brother conspired to use to get rid of you."
"Grandmother knows you're clever. Did you already guess this?"
Li Qingluo nodded slowly.
Madam Pei asked again, "Then why didn't you tell your grandmother that you were poisoned? Why did you let that old hag Deng keep it from me! I sent Que'er to your side to keep an eye on you, but you...!"
Li Qingluo turned her head and looked at Madam Pei with red eyes, saying, "Grandmother, I'm sorry. I didn't want to make things difficult for you, so I felt there was no need to tell you these things."
"You said that everything depends on Luo'er herself, so I tried my best, but Luo'er was useless..."
"Also, as for my mother... it's my fault for not being able to please her."
"Grandma, please don't be angry. I'll listen to you. You told me to get close to them and please them, and now that I'm better, I'll go again..."
Old Madam Pei was heartbroken and gave Li Qingluo a heavy handshake.
"Alright! Grandmother... it's Grandmother, that wasn't right before."
"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." Your grandmother, who prided herself on being carefree for half her life, has become harsh on you.
"How can you be expected to do something that even your grandmother couldn't do perfectly?"
"Grandmother should have realized long ago that your parents and brother are heartless, ungrateful fools. Even if you do everything you can to please them, you can never warm their hearts!"
"Besides, if your grandmother doesn't care about you, who will? You may not have parents, but you still have your grandmother!"
“Your grandmother brought you back, and she will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
"You rest first. Your grandmother will definitely take care of this matter for you."
Madam Pei touched Li Qingluo's face again before getting up and leaving.
After everyone left, Li Qingluo finally put away the sorrowful expression on her face.
She sat up and gently wiped away the tear stains on her face.
Thinking of her grandmother's words, she was indeed deeply moved.
However, she ultimately achieved some of her goals.
This time, it was Li Qingluo's turn to fight back.
outside the house.
Madam Pei stood solemnly in the courtyard, with Zhang Mama and Deng Mama standing on either side of her.
Seeing that Madam Pei looked distressed, the two couldn't help but advise her, "Madam, you should take care of yourself. You can deal with those disobedient ones slowly, why make yourself angry?"
Madam Pei sighed softly, "I was thinking about Luo'er. She wouldn't say, but how could I not know the danger she faced this time? The injury on her back is the most serious one!"
"Didn't you see? Only a blunt weapon could have beaten her up like that!"
"Moreover, she should have suffered internal injuries, but she seems perfectly fine now. I suspect that someone has given her medicine to treat internal injuries. Who is this person? She won't say."
Granny Deng and Granny Zhang looked at each other, neither of them thinking that much about it.
Madam Pei's expression suddenly hardened: "This matter must not be left unresolved! Go, summon my good son, good daughter-in-law, and good grandson to Jingci Hall!"
"I need to ask them properly if they still have any humanity left!"
The two old women replied, "Yes, Madam."
That evening, Jingci Hall was brightly lit with candles.
Li Qingluo was led by Madam Pei to sit in the high hall.
When Li Chaojing, Qu Shi, and Li Kechuan were summoned at the same time, Li Qingluo was about to get up to greet them, but was pressed down heavily by Madam Pei.
"You can sit next to me; you don't need to move."
At this moment, Madam Pei's face was solemn and stern, and her whole body was filled with an intimidating sense of oppression.
Her eyes were sharp and cold as she stared directly at her son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson.
Even Li Chaojing, a general who had been on the battlefield and killed countless enemy soldiers, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when facing his once-mighty female general mother.
What's wrong?
The mother seemed to be holding back a lot of anger, about to explode.
It shouldn't be because of him, right?
