Chapter 48: Brother forces his way in to find his sister, gets his leg chopped off?
"Pfft!"
Li Qingluo couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the little maid sent back by Granny Deng recount the scene.
Que'er laughed so hard she almost cried.
Cui'er: "Madam will be furious."
Ms. Qu is only thirty-seven years old this year, and is still a young woman with considerable charm.
Yet, his concubine sent him so many "longevity" gifts.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't suppress it at all, who would be willing to admit that they are old?
Li Qingluo: "This Lou family member truly did not disappoint me."
Que'er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Cui'er: "By the way, you used to be in the Madam's courtyard, did you ever see this Lou Shi?"
Cui'er nodded: "I've seen it before."
Li Qingluo looked at Cui'er.
She had completely forgotten about Cui'er.
Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, another young girl came to the door.
The one inside quickly went out to take over, continuing to inquire about the commotion in the front yard.
These young girls were all trained by her grandmother, so Li Qingluo wasn't worried that they would betray Hongfeng Pavilion.
“Miss, Aunt Lou is still kneeling at the door. And now the matter has spread to the backyard, and even our old lady knows about it.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cannon whistle suddenly sounded outside in broad daylight.
Li Qingluo glanced at the sky; this was Yang Qinwu's signal to her that he had everything ready.
At this moment, in the back garden.
The General's Mansion has a beautiful lake, and today all the male and female guests are separated by this lake.
At this time, the male guests on the shore were writing poems, painting, or practicing martial arts, creating a lively atmosphere.
Suddenly a soft voice came from the side: "Madam, you've come to the wrong place. This is where the gentlemen rest!"
"I'm so sorry! I just arrived. I got separated from my maid and that's why I wandered into this place by mistake."
A clear, melodious voice rang out, filled with panic.
Many young men who heard this were naturally moved and craned their necks to look to the side.
Only Li Kechuan and Zhuang Wei were shaken.
Incredulous looks crossed their eyes as they lifted the curtain and looked toward the source of the sound.
Upon seeing this, the two were completely captivated!
"Zhu'er!?"
A commotion immediately erupted around them: "What pearl?"
"It seems to be the name of the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."
"Didn't the young lady commit suicide by self-immolation a few months ago?"
"Yes, I just went to see it. The burned-down yard is still there without being repaired. It's definitely true..."
"What's going on with those two?"
As everyone was discussing this, Li Kechuan and Zhuang Wei rushed over together.
But the woman was faster.
Upon seeing someone approaching, she screamed and immediately covered her chest before running away.
The woman ran very fast, as if she were in a panic and wandered aimlessly through a maze of twists and turns.
Just as Li Kechuan and Zhuang Wei were about to give chase, a group of maids and nannies suddenly appeared, carrying tea and snacks, and bumped into Li Kechuan and Zhuang Wei.
Their robes and shoes were soaked.
"Young Master, Third Master, we were blind and beg your forgiveness!"
Li Kechuan kicked away the maid who was wiping his shoes, yelling, "Get out of here, all of you!"
Then he took off and continued chasing after them.
Zhuang Wei originally wanted to hurry up and follow, but was pulled back by his own servant who came over.
"Third Master! The old lady is looking for you. Where are you going?"
However, in that instant, Li Kechuan had already disappeared without a trace.
Li Kechuan had drunk some alcohol, so his mind wasn't very clear at the moment.
However, upon seeing Li Qingzhu, he couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed a month ago on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Could it really be his pearl?
Is Pearl really not dead?
Li Kechuan wanted to find out the truth, so he naturally wanted to rush up and grab the woman to see if she was a human or a ghost!
But the woman seemed to know that someone was chasing her, and she dodged and weaved her way out of the general's mansion through the back gate.
Once on the street, which was noisy and chaotic, the woman would appear and disappear in a flash.
Until Li Kechuan followed them to a house.
The woman's figure flickered briefly at the back corner gate of the house before disappearing again.
This time, Li Kechuan searched everywhere but couldn't find anything, so he couldn't help but look at the house in front of him.
Could it be that she went inside?
He will not give up so easily today!
Li Kechuan arrived at the door: "I am Li Kechuan, the eldest son of the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane. I am taking the liberty of visiting the head of the family. Please inform him of my presence."
This house is the very house where Prince Yun secretly kept Li Qingzhu.
Just then, Prince Yun happened to be taking a short break to spend time with Li Qingzhu when he heard that Li Kechuan had actually found his way here. Both of them were startled.
Li Qingzhu immediately looked terrified and completely lost: "Your Highness, what should we do? Zhu'er's marriage hasn't been completely settled with Li Qingluo yet. If my brother finds out now that I didn't die at all and I'm taken back to the Li family, then Zhu'er and Your Highness will never be able to stay together for the rest of our lives! Waaah..."
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry. Prince Yun's heart was instantly broken.
"Pearl, don't worry, I will absolutely not allow this to happen!"
Li Kechuan was driven away and was not allowed to take another step forward.
How could he possibly give up?
He boasted of his superior martial arts skills and immediately tried to force his way in.
Prince Yun's guards were no ordinary men.
They were all desperate; no matter what, they had to stop this man today and not allow him to break into the inner quarters.
But Li Kechuan was indeed quite capable. He seized a knife and, in a bloodthirsty frenzy, charged into the Second Hospital.
As he fought, his eyes bloodshot, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Pearl! Pearl—is Pearl you?"
"Pearl, your brother has come looking for you. Come out, Pearl—"
Li Qingzhu was truly terrified.
She could only hide in Prince Yun's arms, trembling, even maliciously hoping that someone would kill Li Kechuan!
She absolutely cannot reveal herself now, or all her previous efforts will be in vain.
Just then, a group of imperial guards who happened to be looking for Prince Yun encountered this battle.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on His Highness Prince Yun's private residence? Don't you have a death wish!"
"Take his life—"
Li Kechuan was covered in blood, and his face was obscured by the blood.
These imperial guards charged forward with their swords drawn, giving him no chance to explain. Each of them was more skilled than the Prince Yun's own guards.
With the combined forces of the two sides, the situation began to reverse.
Li Kechuan was gradually suppressed and retreated step by step.
Moreover, these people are ruthless and deadly in every move they make!
Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Li Kechuan, panting, shouted, "I am Li Kechuan, the young general of the Dongqi Camp! Stop!"
However, in that split second, a knife severed Li Kechuan's leg as easily as chopping a winter melon!
