Chapter 45 What secrets does Li Qingluo hold?
Li Kechuan was so angry that he kicked the servant to the ground.
"You're not even as good as the old women and maids around her? What are you doing still staying by my side? You're a useless piece of trash!"
The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately scrambled up and lay prone on the ground.
"Please forgive me, young master! I will certainly do my best even more!"
Li Kechuan rubbed his temples impatiently: "Report any unusual movements she makes immediately! Get out!"
The servant scrambled out of the study, feeling as if he had been given a second chance at life.
Li Kechuan sat in the chair with a gloomy expression.
He knew in his heart that something was wrong.
That old woman goes out early and returns late every day; she seems very busy.
What exactly is she doing for Li Qingluo?
Since he couldn't find anything out of these useless things around him, he decided to go and find out for himself.
We'll find out eventually what Li Qinglu is up to!
Granny Deng was quick to act. Just three days later, she told Li Qingluo, "Miss, Yang Qinwu dared to come regardless of whether it was true or not, as long as it was about his sister. This old servant has arranged everything. You just need to go out later."
When Jingcitang heard that Li Qingluo wanted to go out, Old Madam Pei readily agreed.
She knew what Li Qingluo was going to do, because every few days she would call over Granny Deng to ask her about it.
However, she was also curious about how Luo'er knew all this.
Mei Xue, a maid who is rarely mentioned, and a captain surnamed Yang in the Imperial Guard.
Could it be that she has other people doing things for her outside?
Moreover, she has never mentioned who saved her and gave her medicine to treat her internal injuries.
It seems that her beloved granddaughter has a secret she keeps hidden from outsiders!
Fu Man Lou.
Li Qingluo was dressed as a man again.
However, her skin is now much fairer, and she doesn't look as convincing as she used to when she dressed as a man.
Fortunately, she paid attention to details and even put on a fake beard.
So when she boarded the boat, the boatman respectfully asked her, "Young master, watch your step."
Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qingluo spotted Yang Qinwu looking out from the dock.
It really was him.
In her previous life, Li Qingluo had seen Yang Qinwu's face amidst the chaos.
At that time, he was dragging his bloodied severed arm, lying in front of the general's mansion, still calling out his sister's name.
Both siblings were completely ruined by Li Kechuan and the General's Mansion.
In their eyes, such lowly people, as insignificant as ants, are not worth mentioning at all.
"By the way, didn't Mei Shuang say that Mei Xue and her brother had been exchanging letters over the past ten years?"
How come Yang Qinwu seems to know absolutely nothing about his sister's whereabouts?
Granny Deng: "Yes. But that's not contradictory. Mei Shuang said that Mei Xue entered the General's Mansion when she was eight years old by selling herself into a labor contract. At that time, it seems that her brother was always doing bad things, stealing chickens and dogs and not learning anything good, and her grandfather was seriously ill and urgently needed money, so she took this path."
"Later, Meixue's grandfather still passed away."
"To encourage her brother, Mei Xue completely cut off contact with him. It wasn't until later, when she heard that her brother was frantically searching for her, that she sent a message to Yang Qinwu, saying that she was now working as a maid in a wealthy household, and that her brother should strive to be a good person. She said that when she reached the age of marriage, she would be released from the mansion and the two siblings would reunite."
"Perhaps she wanted to keep Yang Qinwu on edge, so she never revealed which company she worked for."
"Until two years ago, Mei Xue completely lost contact with Yang Qinwu. Only then did Yang Qinwu get anxious and start looking for his sister."
Thinking of the plight of the brother and sister, Li Qingluo sighed and said, "Granny Deng, bring him aboard the boat."
After saying that, she turned and went into the cabin.
At this moment, in the General's Mansion.
The gatekeeper delivered the message, and Li Kechuan, who was having dinner with Madam Qu, immediately put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.
Madam Qu called out to him, "Chuan'er, what... what is it? Don't go too far. Remember, don't make your grandmother angry again. Slowly, she will value you again."
Madam Qu didn't care what would happen to Li Qingluo, as long as Chuan'er didn't anger his grandmother again!
Li Kechuan did not linger and quickly left Chunzaitang.
Qu sighed softly.
Since she married into the general's mansion, she has never followed her mother-in-law's rules.
So to be honest, after Madam Pei returned, she really couldn't adapt to anything.
Although the old lady was a kind mother-in-law, she did not even ask her to pay her respects in the morning and evening, nor did she ask her to serve her meals or bedtime.
Even though they were still in charge of the household, Jingci Hall and Hongfeng Pavilion had become forbidden areas for the mother and her two children.
The old lady made it clear that they should not set foot in the vicinity, nor should they concern themselves with anything concerning the grandmother and grandson.
But how can we just say we won't do anything and actually ignore it?
However, the last time Madam Qu was punished by being confined to the Buddhist hall for a month and had to copy so many scriptures, Madam Pei still felt apprehensive when she thought about it.
Naturally, he dared not disobey her again.
She hoped that Chuan'er would stop making his mother-in-law angry, so that the Tianfeng Trading Company might be able to be handed over to Chuan'er in the future!
After all, the mother-in-law only had this one grandson, so last time, even though the mother-in-law felt sorry for Li Qingluo, Chuan'er wasn't punished, was he?
Once Cui enters the family next year, and Chuan'er takes control of Tianfeng Trading Company, she will surely rise to a higher position in the court than her husband!
When the whole family is honored, she will finally be able to enjoy her life.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Qu's face.
Although the Qinhuai River is not as lively during the day as it is at night, it is still an absolutely bustling place in Nanjing.
Boats from various families were slowly sailing on the river.
Some people went out to enjoy the autumn scenery, while others held poetry gatherings and art exhibitions.
Some families even moved their banquets to flower boats, where they would discuss business and talk about their students.
Of course, there were also some small cargo ships to transport goods to the dock.
Various kinds of boats float on the river, and Li Qingluo is among them today.
"Girl, he's here."
As soon as Yang Qinwu stepped into the room and saw the people inside, a look of wariness immediately appeared on his face.
"Who exactly are you? Do you really have news of my sister Xue'er? If I find out you're lying to me, I won't let you off today!"
His fierce gaze fell on Li Qingluo, the only person sitting in the room.
He knew that this young man was the one who would be in charge today!
Li Qingluo was not intimidated by him.
He simply whispered to Que'er, "Give him the document that Mei Shuang signed. If he can't read, call Mei Shuang in and have her explain the whole story again."
Que'er went out, and after a while Mei Shuang was brought in as well.
Mei Shuang's face was covered by a veil. When she learned that the man in front of her was Mei Xue's older brother, she naturally broke down in tears again.
As Yang Qinwu listened, his astonishment turned into anger, and then into utter grief.
Finally, he became enraged again, his whole body radiating fury.
"You swear that every word you said today is absolutely true!? Do you have any proof that Mei Xue is my own sister?"
