Chapter 98 The Second Young Lady fell off a cliff!
Li Qingluo looked quietly at the person in front of her: "I am not your disciple!"
"My master is a woman named Shen He, are you?"
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, Zheng Lingzhou, Aunt Zheng's younger brother.
She was able to guess his identity because of that dagger.
Back when 'Chen He' was still teaching Li Qingluo martial arts at the Red Maple Pavilion, she had shown him her skills.
Therefore, apart from the blacksmith shop, he was the only one in the world who knew about this.
The Lotus Sect and the blacksmith shop must have had some tangible connection, otherwise she wouldn't have found another dagger.
What confirmed his identity for her was what Prince Su and his guards said.
'The exit from the mortuary, like that tunnel, was completely blocked.'
Who did she see in the mortuary tunnel?
it goes without saying.
When she was blindfolded, the scent she smelled on him was the moment that made Li Qingluo suspicious.
Therefore, when she left Prince Su and encountered the Lotus Cult members again at the mountain cliff, she had the confidence to reveal Zheng Lingzhou's identity.
He is the fake Shen He.
It was also him who, disguised as a female ghost, kept playing tricks and causing trouble at Yuemingyuan.
It was precisely because of his ability to act mysteriously that Li Qingluo was certain that she could use ventriloquism and easily change her voice.
This is the most certain thing.
Zheng Lingzhou is the leader of the Lotus Sect.
His sister, Zheng Wanxiu, would certainly not be innocent either.
Zheng Lingzhou scoffed, "When you wanted my help, you weren't so eager to distance yourself. My Lotus Sect sacrificed many members to help you this time; how are you going to compensate us?"
Li Qingluo: "Master Zheng, there's no need to speak so righteously, nor to treat me like a fool. Aren't we just using each other?"
"You helped me complete the scheme, forcing Li Qingzhu to reveal her affair with Prince Yun. But today, Prince Yun, Prince Su, and even my father, Li Chaojing, have all been lured to this mountain. How far your Lotus Sect can go depends on your own abilities, doesn't it?"
As Li Qingluo finished speaking, Zheng Lingzhou couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
“If I were really in such a hurry to kill them, why would I be waiting for you here? Luo’er, you may not trust anyone in this world, but you really don’t need to doubt my good intentions. If we’re talking about status and seniority, you can call me uncle.”
General's Mansion.
Madam Pei paced anxiously back and forth in the room.
They sent people to investigate several times, but still no news came back.
She couldn't help but sigh, "What exactly happened? Does that girl even have any confidence in her own situation?"
"Her audacity is always off the charts! Every single thing she's done has left me terrified. She never gives me a moment's peace!!"
Granny Zhang comforted her, "Madam, the young lady always manages to escape danger, so she'll definitely be fine this time too. Actually, we can't blame her for always facing perilous situations; it's just that she's having a hard time!"
“Look at Madam, she secretly raised money on her own in just three days. Even though she hadn’t raised enough, she didn’t tell you or Master. I really don’t know what she was thinking.”
Madam Pei: "I'm just afraid that fool will mess things up! But since Prince Su was able to help Luo'er send a message back, he certainly won't ignore this matter!"
"Luo'er..."
Just then, a long announcement came from outside the door—
"Madam! It's the young lady! The young lady has returned!"
Madam Pei's eyes lit up instantly: "What!? Luo'er is back!? Where is Luo'er—bring her to see me at once!"
Upon hearing this, the guard's expression turned somewhat strange.
"Madam, it's...it's the eldest daughter! The eldest daughter isn't dead! She's back!"
Madam Pei: "What about the second young lady? What about my Luo'er?!"
The guard bowed his head: "Madam, the second young lady... she, she... she fell off a cliff, and her fate is currently unknown..."
Madam Pei felt a sudden darkness engulf her, her head spinning: "What!? Luo'er—"
With a long shout, Madam Pei also fainted.
The entire general's mansion was in complete chaos.
Lancang Institute.
Li Kechuan also received news that Li Qing had fallen off a cliff.
He naturally wouldn't have any emotions.
I just asked my father and mother.
Upon learning that Li Chaojing had suffered considerable injuries but still insisted on personally going to the bottom of the cliff to search for Li Qingluo, he sneered: "Life and death are her fate."
Qu was carried back.
Li Qingzhu also returned with Qu.
Hearing that his pearl had really returned, Li Kechuan was both happy and worried.
"If she saw me like this, would she be disappointed? But she would definitely feel sorry for me too..."
Li Kechuan couldn't help but get excited and asked Shanhu, "Take a look at this cloak and see how it looks on me?"
After hearing that Li Qing had fallen off the cliff, Liu Sui'er was in a daze for a long time.
Suppressing her shock and heartache, she replied to Li Kechuan with tears in her eyes, "Young Master, this is good enough."
Li Kechuan didn't notice her expression and urged her, "Hurry! Help me wash up and clean my face, I need to see Zhu'er!"
Liu Sui'er: "Young master, shall I not accompany you?"
She wasn't afraid to confront Li Qingzhu, but rather she was too overwhelmed by the pain in her heart and didn't want to give them the runaround.
Li Kechuan glanced at her face, his expression darkening with impatience: "In your state, there's really no need for you to see Zhu'er. Zhu'er has never liked having people around me."
"Someone come here—fetch water so I can wash up!"
When Li Qingzhu arrived, it was already dark.
Lancang Courtyard was lit up with more lights than usual.
When Li Qingzhu arrived, she saw the courtyard lit up and Li Kechuan standing under a tree with a cane. Her face was a mixture of smiles and tears.
Then, she took off running and pounced on it—
"Brother!"
If Li Kechuan hadn't been leaning against a tree, he would have been knocked down long ago.
At this moment, he barely managed to support himself, holding the person in his arms tightly, his eyes welling up with tears of joy as if he had found a treasure.
"Zhu'er—! Zhu'er, you really didn't die, you're really still alive. Your brother has been waiting for this moment day and night, and I never thought it would actually be true!"
"Let your brother see!"
Li Kechuan cupped Li Qingzhu's face in his hands and looked her over carefully.
He discovered that although she had lost a little weight and had some bruises on her face, she was indeed the same Zhu'er he had pampered since childhood, as beautiful as a precious jewel.
Unlike coral, which requires deliberate embellishment to resemble it so closely.
Unlike Li Qingluo, whose eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Zhu'er, Li Qingluo's eyes were filled with a lifeless resentment.
Li Kechuan laughed, "Brother has been thinking about this day and night. No one believes me, but I know you're definitely not dead!"
"Pearl, promise your brother you'll never leave this home again, okay?"
Just as Li Qingzhu was about to nod in reply, footsteps sounded in the distance.
Zhuang Wei rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Pearl!"
When he rushed in and saw that Li Qingzhu had really returned, besides being shocked and overjoyed, there was also a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Pearl, you're alive! That's wonderful!"
"But I heard, I heard that Li Qingluo, she fell off a cliff, is that true?"
