Chapter 160 The fake heiress wants to break with the General's Mansion?
"Grandma! Waaah, Grandma, don't die—" Liu Yuanbao cried out in alarm.
The other little girls all started crying too.
The adults struggled with agitation and indignation, trying to break free from the general's servants.
Looking at this scene, the general's mansion seemed to be the villains who bullied the people, while the Liu family was a pitiful family who had suffered a great injustice.
But no matter how convincingly they acted, the ordinary people who watched the spectacle from beginning to end knew exactly what was going on.
"Look! Even the general couldn't resist kicking!"
"I'm so angry just listening to this! The Liu family is so shameless, I want to punch them a few times! Bah!"
"Serves you right! You old hag, you switched someone's own daughter with someone else's. That person raised your daughter for so many years, and you have no shame or gratitude, yet you dare to come here demanding her back!"
"Exactly, do you even know what shameless things your family members have done?"
"You should be grateful that the Li family spared her life and didn't kill her immediately. How dare you come to our door saying these things? Aren't you asking for a beating?"
"How dare she replace the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion! This vicious woman, arrest her immediately!"
"That's right, let's send her to the authorities!"
The common people couldn't help but feel sorry for the true legitimate daughter of the general's mansion.
They raised their fists and shouted indignation.
This finally put the Liu family in complete panic.
"What...what do you know?"
"Our Zhu'er and His Highness Prince Yun are in love! It's their General's Mansion that's jealous and vengeful, and they don't want our Zhu'er to have a better future than their own daughter, so they deliberately prevent the lovers from being together!"
"That's right. Is it wrong for the Liu family to come to our door to take back their daughter? Their daughter can go back to her family, so why can't we?"
"Yes, we also miss our own blood relatives!"
"I want my older sister, I want my dear older sister!!"
"Pearl, my dear daughter, where are you? Mother has come looking for you, sob sob sob..."
"Pearl—"
The Liu family started shouting again, as if the louder they cried, the more justified they were.
The onlookers began to discuss the matter more intensely, and the area in front of the General's Mansion instantly turned into a chaotic and lively marketplace.
Li Chaojing looked at the scene before him with a dark expression, wishing he could give all those troublemakers from the Liu family fifty lashes first!
But he held back.
He wanted to see what Li Qingluo would do.
He turned his head to look at her, and Li Qingluo still looked calm, as if the scene before her was something she had long been accustomed to, nothing strange about, and something she had expected.
Zhao was bruised and battered from the fall, her face covered in blood from her nose.
She burst into tears at the bottom of the steps.
The rest of the Liu family cried when they saw this...
Li Qinglu was getting annoyed listening to this. Seeing that Li Chaojing was still calmly staring at him, he simply gave a signal with his eyes, and ordered the servants to take action and gag the Liu family members.
The Liu family: ...
Everyone stared wide-eyed, tears streaming down their faces.
Li Qingluo: Finally, it's quiet, hmm.
But why is Li Qingzhu taking so long? Has she not come out yet?
Li Qinglu felt a little disgusted and was just thinking about whether to ask Que'er to clear the way for her again when Li Qingzhu was carried over from the other side.
"What are you doing?! Hurry up and let them all go!"
Li Qingzhu rebuked in a hoarse voice, and seeing a group of people kneeling in front of the mansion gate, she trembled with anger.
If she wasn't mistaken, these were all her original family members, right?
They were, after all, her closest relatives, Li Qingzhu. How dare these servants, these beasts, treat them like this!
"Zhu'er!? You, how did you get here from over there? Weren't you supposed to be reflecting on your mistakes in the ancestral hall? You, did you run away from the manor?"
Li Qingzhu: "If I hadn't come, how would I have known your ugly faces?!"
Qu was stunned: "Our ugly, vile faces?"
Li Qingzhu sneered: "You clearly promised me back then that you wouldn't hold the Liu family accountable for the crime of swapping women! So what are you doing now?"
"To humiliate them is to humiliate me!"
Qu looked at Li Qingzhu with heartache and exclaimed in shock.
Without a second thought, she earnestly advised, "Zhu'er, don't make the same mistake again! Otherwise, even your mother can't protect you—"
Li Qingzhu: "Stop pretending!"
Li Qingzhu said with red eyes, "If you wanted to protect me, why did you just stand by and watch me take ten blows that day?! I almost lost my life, and you still made me kneel in the ancestral hall. Where were you when I had a fever and my whole body ached?"
"Why do you love me so much, Mother?"
“You watched as they tried to kill me, yet they didn’t even show up.”
"Since you are so cowardly, you can't protect me, so you might as well let me go!"
Li Chaojing: "Li Qingzhu! Is this how you treat your mother who has truly loved and cared for you for sixteen years? She sheds tears for you every day, do you even know that?"
"She has cherished you since you were a child, and this is how you repay her?"
Li Qingzhu sneered, "Stop pretending! Do you think this family will let me live anymore?"
"Father, you wish I were dead right now, you want to kill me every day, do you think I don't know that?"
"Mother, all you do is cry and cry, you've never done a single practical thing. Every time you say you love me, you just watch me suffer! You're just a coward and incompetent coward! And you say you love me?"
"What good is it if you admit it? You no longer care about me; all you care about is your own daughter, Li Qingluo!"
Li Qingzhu pointed angrily at Li Qingluo, her heart filled with hatred and resentment.
It's her!
Everything started when she returned to Jinling, and everything spiraled out of control.
Even things she had planned meticulously, and everyone around her, changed one after another.
The biggest culprit behind Li Qingzhu's current predicament is Li Qingluo!
She couldn't help but hate her!
At that moment, everyone in the Liu family turned their heads in unison, staring dumbfounded at the aloof Li Qingluo.
she! ?
That angelic, dignified, elegant, noble, and pure kind girl was actually Liu Cao'er?!?
Everyone was screaming inside.
No! !
How is that possible?!
Shock, disbelief, upheaval, utterly twisted madness...
The Liu family was almost going crazy!
How could it be Liu Cao'er?
How could Liu Cao'er, who was so thin and dark-skinned, so vulgar, so unremarkable in appearance, so taciturn and hardworking, and who was bullied and trampled on like an animal, possibly have completely changed in such a short time?
Little did they know that, for them, Liu Cao'er had only been gone for six months.
But for Li Qingluo, a whole year, or even two lifetimes, had passed!
Just then, the servants who were with Li Qingzhu forcibly took away the Sebudu that the Liu family had mentioned.
Zhao was the first to scream: "Pah! Liu Cao'er!! It's you?!"
"Our Liu family has raised you for over a decade, and you just made me kneel before you? You've really gone too far!"
"You disobedient little brat, come and help me up right now!"
The others also rushed to speak to Li Qingluo one by one.
"Grass, why aren't you listening to your grandma? Come over here and help us all up!"
"Look at how good life you're living now. It's only been a short time and you've become so tender and fair. Now that you're living so well, you wouldn't be so heartless as to disown us, would you?"
"Grass, grass, come here! Lie down! Lie down! I want to ride a horse, I want you to ride a horse for me!"
Liu Yuanbao's mouth was covered by his eldest daughter-in-law, Wang.
She even secretly tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve.
"Mother, she is now, after all, a daughter of the General's Mansion..."
Zhao turned around and slapped Wang across the face.
"You insolent brat! I don't care who you are now, or what if you're Zhu'er's biological mother? You still have to call me 'Mother'!"
"The kindness of giving birth is great, but the kindness of raising is even greater!"
"Once I am Zhu'er and her daughter Cao'er's grandmother, then I will be for life!"
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, Old Madam Pei, who was standing behind the gate and hadn't come out yet, almost couldn't help but rush out.
Granny Zhang grabbed her arm: "Madam, you said you wanted me to stop you!"
Madam Pei clenched her fist in anger and slammed it against the wall with a 'bang'.
"That damned, stupid old hag dares to be my Luo'er's grandmother? What does she think she is?!"
"Back then, I switched Luo'er with someone else, and she suffered so much. I wish I could kill her right now!"
Seeing the plaster falling from the wall, Granny Zhang quickly advised, "Madam, please bear with it a little longer. Miss has probably been enduring it for a long time as well. Don't you want to give her a chance to deal with these people herself?"
Madam Pei: "I'm afraid she has other plans! Look at her, she's still not saying a word, I wonder what she's thinking!!"
Granny Zhang: You really do understand the young lady best...
But whatever the girl is up to, it's probably not good news for the Liu family.
Ha, just wait and see.
A group of onlookers followed behind Madam Pei; apart from the servants, almost everyone from the second and third branches of the family had come.
At this moment, everyone craned their necks, wishing they could all climb over the old lady and squeeze through to see for themselves.
However, because Madam Pei was standing behind the door, they could only stand at the far end, and what they heard was sometimes near and sometimes far.
The location not only offers a poor view, but you can't even see anything clearly!
The people from the second and third houses were so anxious they jumped up and down, but when they saw the old lady smash the plaster off the wall with one punch, they all fell silent and didn't even dare to try to move the wall anymore.
When the rest of the Liu family heard Zhao say that, they immediately echoed, "That's right, that's right. Cao'er, it hasn't been easy for our family to feed and care for you all these years, you mustn't forget our kindness."
"She still has some conscience; wasn't she just protecting Yuanbao?"
"She also admitted that her family favored Zhu'er more, and even said that Mother, you are a meritorious person of the General's Mansion."
"She's still the same as always. Let's see if she's afraid of us now..."
Some people muttered to themselves, and some even chuckled.
Now that Li Qingzhu has stepped in to protect them, and with the appearance of Li Qingluo, the Liu family has suddenly become arrogant and fearless again.
As long as they have Liu Cao'er under their control, and Zhu'er seems to be breaking with the General's Mansion, Zhu'er will inevitably go to Prince Yun's Mansion in the future, so what else can they do?
From now on, the Liu family can do whatever they want in Jinling City!
