Chapter 153 The Result!
Li Chaojing: How arrogant!
Where does she get her confidence from?
Arrogance taken to extremes becomes conceit!
Immediately, he also became somewhat angry and dissatisfied.
She really doesn't look like a woman at all; no wonder they say such things about her!
Li Chaojing's face darkened, and he ignored Li Qingluo, intending to wait until she couldn't handle it on her own before she came to him, her father, for help.
Then he can take the opportunity to teach her a few words of advice, to teach her the principles of humility and modesty.
But the people from the second and third houses all lowered their heads obediently, like quails.
She cut her hair!!
This is more humiliating than beheading; they really dare not provoke them.
The people from the second and third branches all swallowed their anger and dared not provoke her any further, fearing that she might really go crazy again.
Sure enough, when Li Qingluo looked at Li Yunchu again, Li Yunchu quickly said, "I said...!"
“Back then, after I was injured and saved by that doctor, I followed him and began to travel the world, and I also learned some medical skills. Later, I also became his wife.”
"But the good times didn't last long. After three years of happiness, he suddenly disappeared one day."
"So, I had no choice but to return to Jinling City and seek refuge with my aunt and brothers."
"Unexpectedly, although my plan to harm your mother that year failed, it was not exposed either. So, your parents felt guilty and entrusted everything about the estate to my aunt and the others."
“When I came back, they were living a very comfortable and carefree life. I felt resentful and unwilling, and I wanted to come back to tell you the truth, but I met Li Qingzhu at that time.”
"Li Qingzhu had already reunited with Liu Jinzhi by this time. She also met my aunt. Through her introduction, I met my aunt."
"When my aunt saw me, she burst into tears and spoke to me kindly, saying that she had always thought I was dead and had even lit an everlasting lamp for me."
"The resentment in my heart slowly dissipated..."
"Later, I started working for Zhu'er. When she went to Prince Yun's private residence, I stayed by her side and gave her advice."
"As for being kidnapped with you last time, I did almost lose my life. But I managed to escape in the chaos, found Zhu'er again in Jinling City, and have been hiding in...hiding in the manor outside the city ever since."
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Our estate? But how come we haven't found it?"
"It must be that my aunt hid her!"
"So, was the treatment for Li Qingzhu's voice also something that the old aunt hid in her yard?"
There is no other explanation.
Li Yunchu had long since returned to the General's Mansion and had been hiding in the Ziwei Hall of Aunt Deng or Li Qingzhu.
Li Yunchu did not deny this.
Although this was her answer, Li Qingluo knew that she had not told the whole truth.
First of all, the power of the Lotus Sect should not be underestimated. How could a woman like her escape so easily?
And her husband, the doctor she mentioned, remains a mystery.
Li Qingluo didn't want to be fooled like that, so she turned to ask another question.
"So, Li Qingzhu's self-immolation and subsequent secret meeting with Prince Yun, were all orchestrated by you?"
Li Yunchu trembled all over, and her face turned completely pale.
She finally understood that Li Qingluo had been waiting for her all along!
Immediately afterward, Li Qingluo, without waiting for her answer, threw out another question: "Also, when my grandmother and I were on our way home from Qingsong Temple, it just so happened that we were ambushed and murdered by bandits. Was that also your plan?"
Li Qingluo's words caused an uproar.
Madam Qu's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Li Qingluo with concern and anxiety: "What? Luo'er, is what you said true!?"
"You and your mother were actually ambushed and murdered by bandits? How come we didn't know about this?"
Li Chaojing looked anxiously at Madam Pei and asked with concern, "Mother, are you and Luo'er alright back then?"
Madam Pei gave him a cold laugh and said, "If something had happened, would I still be sitting here cleaning up your mess?!"
Li Chaojing's expression froze.
He was even somewhat reluctant to look at his own daughter.
It was as if he could already foresee the disdain on her face, just like his mother's, for his belated concern.
But for some inexplicable reason, he still turned his head to take a look.
"fall……"
Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo didn't even glance at him, seemingly unconcerned about his concern.
That one glance, however, made Li Chaojing's heart sink even further...
The others started whispering among themselves.
"Did Auntie really make it?"
"They hired someone to harm the mistress before, and now they're hiring someone to harm our General's family and the old lady. They're so vicious!"
"If that's the case, can we report it to the authorities?"
"This could originally be considered a family matter, but if it leads to someone's death, and there's evidence of attempted murder, wouldn't that send him to jail?"
Upon hearing these words, Li Yunchu was immediately thrown into turmoil.
Without a second thought, she immediately retorted excitedly, "No! This matter really has nothing to do with me! It was Li Qingzhu who complained to His Highness Prince Yun about your late return home, which prevented her from carrying out her plan to fake her death by self-immolation. That's why Prince Yun wanted to teach you a lesson!"
"Unexpectedly... not a single one replied."
Thinking of this, Li Yunchu swallowed hard.
Li Qinglu smiled.
She answered that question quickly.
"Since this matter has nothing to do with you, then the previous two matters are related to you?"
Li Yunchu suddenly realized that she had set a series of traps for herself.
"you!"
She suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at Li Qingluo!
The question about her whereabouts over the past three years was clearly something Li Qingluo had already guessed the answer to, yet she still asked, so it was all just a ruse!
Therefore, the two questions she is afraid to admit are her real problems.
Li Yunchu couldn't answer, but her silence at this moment was tantamount to admitting it!
He plotted to fake his own death by self-immolation, and planned for Li Qingzhu to secretly meet with Prince Yun and clear his name!
These two incidents alone are enough to convict Li Yunchu of a serious crime against her family!
Li Chaojing gritted his teeth and said, "It was you! It was you who instigated Zhu'er to do these things..."
He stepped forward to make a move, but was stopped by Madam Pei's men.
"Enough! Doesn't Li Qingzhu have a brain? If she hadn't come up with the idea herself, Li Yunchu could have come up with a hundred ways, and she wouldn't have done something so stupid!"
"It's because they're inherently bad that they conspired together and became birds of a feather!"
Neither Madam Qu nor Li Kechuan reacted after Madam Pei said this.
Only Li Chaojing clenched his fists.
He wasn't feeling sorry for Li Qingzhu, but rather hated his half-sister for making such a mess of the General's Mansion!
Li Qingluo looked at her father and shook her head in disappointment.
He and Li Kechuan are really no different.
However, we cannot continue the interrogation today.
She knew that if she asked any further questions, even if it cost Li Yunchu her life, she probably wouldn't get any information out of her.
Li Qingluo returned to Madam Pei's side: "Grandmother, I have finished asking the questions. Please make your decision."
Madam Pei nodded: "Good, Luo'er, you did very well."
Upon receiving this compliment, everyone else wore strange expressions.
Is this what you call good?
This is clearly madness!
Such a gentle and quiet woman, but when she goes crazy, she is truly terrifying!
Her methods are endless; she says one thing and does another, making it impossible for anyone to figure out her ways!
Only you, Madam, think it's good!
The people in the second and third houses were speechless.
Madam Pei spoke up at the opportune moment: "Aunt Deng, you colluded with Li Qingzhu to send a letter to Prince Yun's mansion and help her get out of the General's mansion, which led to this disaster that has affected the reputation of the whole family and the name of all the girls in the family! Do you admit it or not?"
Aunt Deng sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "I...I admit..."
Madam Pei: "Since Luo'er has already cut your hair for you, then from now on you should completely renounce the mortal world and go to the temple to cultivate in seclusion!"
Aunt Deng could only choke back tears and kowtow in gratitude, having nothing more to say.
Madam Pei then looked at Li Yunchu: "I won't dwell on your mistakes. Every single one of Li Qingzhu's misdeeds is partly your fault. Therefore, from this day forward, Li Yunchu is no longer a member of the Li family!"
"On a chosen day, we will move your cenotaph, which you claimed was a result of feigned death, out of the Li family's ancestral cemetery."
"From this day forward, whether you live or die, whether you are rich or poor, has nothing to do with my General's Mansion. Guards! Give Li Yunchu ten strokes of the ancestral cane, then immediately expel her from the mansion!"
"yes!"
Li Yunchu was dragged away, and amidst screams, she miraculously survived and did not completely lose consciousness.
But she couldn't walk anymore, so she was dragged out of the mansion and left outside the gate to live or die.
No one else dared to move, and could only watch helplessly as Aunt Deng was taken away and temporarily imprisoned.
Li Chaohuai wanted to ask for a favor, but Li Qingya grabbed him.
"Father, I'll go ask Second Sister for help later!"
Li Chaohuai then held back.
Then, Madam Pei waved her hand and said, "I am also tired today. Dismiss yourselves from your respective courtyards. You are exempt from paying your respects for the next two days. Don't bother me!"
"Furthermore, from this day forward, if any of the academies still refuse to properly educate their children and cause any more trouble, the outcome will not be as easy as it is today!"
Madam Pei left, supported by Li Qingluo.
Once the grandmother and granddaughter left, the people from the second and third branches of the family all drooped their heads and slowly dispersed, like wilted eggplants.
I thought today was a day to witness the commotion and the jokes surrounding the eldest son's family.
Little did they expect that their actions would backfire, and the fire nearly burned their own house to the ground.
Finally, only Li Kechuan, Li Chaojing, and the Qu family of three remained in the ancestral hall. They stood there for a long time, unable to come to their senses.
"Father, Mother...did I...really make a mistake?"
After he had violently choked Li Qingzhu, Li Kechuan had not spoken a word since being pulled down.
At that moment, he looked at his parents with helpless yet clear eyes, which instantly broke Qu's heart.
"My son—"
She rushed forward, hugged Li Kechuan, and wept bitterly.
“Our whole family has been harmed by the Liu family, by Li Qingzhu’s own grandmother! All these years, we’ve been deceived by Zhu’er!”
"She is cunning and treacherous; all of this she plotted... was to drive a wedge between Luo'er and us..."
"Chuan'er, it's not your fault, it's not your fault..."
Li Chaojing: "A doting mother spoils her son! You're just spoiling him; he's completely ruined!"
He left after saying those words.
Li Kechuan sneered at himself, looking utterly dejected: "Yes, I'm a useless person now... I'm no longer qualified to be Luo'er's brother, am I?"
