Chapter 236 The Fake Heiress Poisoned? Maid's Identity Exposed!
Except for Wang, everyone in the Liu family now believes that Liu Qingzhu is an ingrate, the most heartless and ungrateful person in the world.
It was simply not worth it for Zhao to die for her.
But Li Kechuan had no idea what the Liu family thought of Liu Qingzhu now.
He believed that everyone in the world should be like him, never asking for anything in return, spoiling Liu Qingzhu without any limits, indulging her, considering everything for her, and paving the way for her.
Li Kechuan: "It's settled then. Three days from now, you must bring her to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city."
"After it's done, I can let you see Pearl."
After giving his orders in a condescending manner, Li Kechuan left the Liu family's gate.
After he had walked away, Liu Er and Liu San spat out a loud "Pui!" together.
"What nonsense! Do you really think we still care to see Liu Qingzhu these days?"
Liu San was so angry his teeth ached: "Second brother, what should we do?"
Liu Er: "I didn't expect that Li Qingluo was right, that Li Kechuan would actually come after us. Does he think we're his two dogs, that we'll go wherever he tells us to go?"
A flash of resentment crossed Liu Er's eyes.
"What did that girl Li Qingluo say?"
Liu San: "Let's spread the rumors about Liu Qingzhu and Li Kechuan, and when Li Kechuan comes to us again, we'll do as he says. But... if we don't tell her, shouldn't we let her take precautions or something?"
"Second brother, and I think Luo'er is more conscientious towards us than Zhu'er."
"At least she gave her sister-in-law a hundred taels, but her brother teased her about it."
"Since we've chosen to side with her, shouldn't we at least give her a warning about this?"
Liu Er glared at Liu San: "Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"Besides, how are you going to find her?"
Liu San scratched his head: "Isn't that Zhenxiu Restaurant her restaurant? If we let our sister-in-law make a scene, she'll definitely come out!"
Liu Er: "You dare to cause trouble? Aren't you afraid she'll break your legs again? Alright, since Zhenxiu Restaurant is a way to get to her, we'll just pass on a message and not worry about anything else."
"Let them fight each other! That way, we might be better able to extricate ourselves."
Liu Er flicked the silver in the bag, thinking to himself: This is only a dozen taels. And he calls himself the eldest son of the General's Mansion? It's really pathetic!
The message was quickly delivered to General Xiuli's residence.
Li Qingluo finally formally became Nangong Di's apprentice this morning, but she didn't expect her master to put her through such a rigorous test right away. She spent the entire morning practicing swordsmanship under Nangong Di's guidance.
Nangong Di was very satisfied with her archery skills.
However, Nangong Di disliked his swordsmanship.
"Who taught you this swordsmanship? It's a complete mess!"
Li Qinglu thought to herself: He's just a fake master, and he probably doesn't really teach her sincerely.
Fortunately, Nangong Di was quite patient with her. He taught her a new set of sword techniques and had Li Qinglu practice with him.
"Are you going to study this afternoon?" Nangong Di asked after the morning session ended.
Li Qingluo: "Yes, but reading can be done in the morning, and sword practice can be done in the afternoon. What do you think is a good arrangement, Master?"
Nangong Di immediately said, "Then I'll come and teach you every other afternoon. That way you'll have some time to do your own things."
Li Qingluo was surprised that Nangong Di was such an enlightened teacher.
She immediately expressed her gratitude: "Your disciple will certainly not let Master down."
So after she finished writing and reading in the afternoon, she practiced swordplay a few more times.
She had just wiped away her sweat and was about to have some tea when Granny Deng brought the message in.
Sparrow: "The dilapidated temple in the west of the city? What is he planning to do?"
Li Qingluo: "Anyway, it won't be anything good."
Granny Deng: "Miss, our men should go ahead and take precautions. No matter what he's doing, arrest him on the spot!"
Li Qingluo had been waiting for this day for a long time.
She gave a cold laugh: "No matter what he does, this time, I will make sure that Li Kechuan is completely disgraced!"
"Granny, let Green Firefly do it."
Granny Deng smiled and said, "Yes, Miss."
Prince Yun's Residence.
Liu Qingzhu was happily displaying the jewelry she had brought back that day when Lüying rushed in, saying, "Madam, something terrible has happened! His Highness... His Highness has gone to Consort Rou's room..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingzhu's eyes widened in anger: "Didn't you tell His Highness that I went back to the General's Mansion? And I had important matters to report to His Highness!"
Green Firefly looked aggrieved: "I hadn't even spoken yet... when... I was pinned to the ground and gagged by the people from Lady Rou's courtyard. I'm useless, I couldn't get His Highness..."
Liu Qingzhu beckoned Green Firefly over.
After Green Firefly walked over with a look of fear on her face, she raised her hand and slapped Green Firefly hard across the face.
"Useless thing! I've been supporting you all this time, and this is how you do things for me?!"
Green Firefly didn't even dare to show any resentment; she simply covered her face and knelt on the ground.
Liu Qingzhu's chest heaved violently with anger. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and suddenly raised her head with great momentum.
"You, Cao Rou'er! I may have lost some of His Highness's favor lately, but do you think I, Liu Qingzhu, am going to fall from grace? Keep dreaming! I won't let you be so smug!"
"Someone, come with me to Cao Rou'er's courtyard. I want to see how she seduces the Prince."
Liu Qingzhu called in the maids outside the courtyard, then ordered Lüying to kneel on the ground to reflect on her actions, forbidding her from getting up without her permission.
After she stormed off, a chilling look appeared on Green Firefly's face.
"Liu Qingzhu, your retribution is about to come."
Green Firefly looked at the rows of jewelry displayed in front of Liu Qingzhu's dressing table and suddenly smiled.
She knelt down and took out the prepared powder from her bosom, then sprinkled it evenly and lightly on the powder.
"This is the Love-Devouring Powder that I specially prepared for you."
"Don't you love these pieces of jewelry the most?"
"Once you wear these gold and silver jewels every day, in just two days, these love-devouring powders will enter your bloodstream through your skin and penetrate deep into your heart and spleen."
"If you fall in love, you will experience angina, and your internal organs will feel like they are going to kill you."
"Liu Qingzhu, don't you say you can't live without men?"
"For the sake of Prince Yun, you killed my sister... Well then I'll let you taste what it's like to not have a man!"
"If you can't even resist being so shameless and lewd as to seduce men, then die in Prince Yun's bed, hahaha, hahahaha..."
Green Firefly smiled as she cleaned up every possible flaw.
Liu Qingzhu returned happily as expected.
He had a smug look on his face, as if he had won the battle for favor.
"The prince said he'll be having dinner in our courtyard. Quickly, sweep the entire courtyard!"
"Go over there and get a new bouquet of flowers."
"Green Firefly, come quickly and help me decide what hair accessory to wear later. Also, which of these head ornaments I brought is suitable to wear tonight?"
"His Highness used to love it when I wore this white jade hairpin."
Green Firefly quickly got up and came over, picked up the white jade hairpin and held it up to Liu Qingzhu's head.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Liu Qingzhu suddenly noticed Lü Ying's face and asked, "Did I hurt you just now? I was too hasty. You won't hold a grudge, will you?"
Green Firefly shook her head: "Miss, I followed you out of the General's Mansion. My life belongs to you. It is only natural for Madam to do whatever she wants to me."
Liu Qingzhu smiled slightly, quite satisfied with her answer.
"In the end, you are the only one who is truly loyal to me. Once I recover, how could I possibly mistreat you?"
“Green Firefly, sometimes when I look at you, I think you look a bit like a maid named Red Lotus who used to serve me. Do you remember her?”
Green Firefly remained expressionless: "This servant knows. This servant has met Sister Hongling before. They both said that this servant does look somewhat similar to Sister Hongling."
Liu Qingzhu: "But I heard that Hongling has a younger sister?"
Liu Qingzhu stared intently at Lü Ying, trying to discern something unusual on her face.
Fortunately, Green Firefly performed very well, without even a hint of panic.
She even racked her brains for a long time, "This servant really doesn't know anything about this. Should this servant inquire about it for you, young lady?"
Liu Qingzhu lowered her eyelids expressionlessly: "No need."
Two days later.
The broken temple entrance in the west of the city.
Liu Qingzhu angrily led her men to the entrance of the dilapidated temple, but Green Firefly had completely disappeared.
Liu Qingzhu immediately burst into a rage, cursing, "Bitch! Bitch! So she's Hongling's younger sister! Why did she keep this from me for so long?!"
What exactly is she trying to do?
"Or has she already done something!?"
The thought that the younger sister of the maid she had burned to death was actually right beside her all along sent chills down Liu Qingzhu's spine.
Moreover, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could strangle Green Firefly herself!
Green Firefly saw this scene from the corner and quickly turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
Granny Deng sent someone to meet Green Firefly, and then led Green Firefly to a dilapidated and inconspicuous teahouse not far from the dilapidated temple.
"girl."
When Green Firefly saw Li Qingluo, who had arrived long ago, she immediately knelt down.
Li Qinglu told her to get up.
"You've worked hard, Green... no, Purple Brocade."
Purple Brocade is Green Firefly's real name.
She and Hongling were biological sisters. They were both working in Li Kechuan's courtyard, and one of them was Liu Qingzhu's head maid.
Zi Jin was lazy and unwilling to stand out from the crowd since childhood, so she remained an unknown second-class maid.
Although Hongling rose to prominence by following Liu Qingzhu, she also suffered a lot of injustice.
The two sisters relied on each other and supported one another in the mansion, hoping that one day they could save enough money so that they could have the opportunity to leave the mansion and build a home of their own.
Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Liu Qingzhu's ruthlessness.
Her elder sister, Hongling, died tragically in that fire. She also silenced all the other servants in Liu Qingzhu's courtyard, making it all a charade.
Li Qinglu praised her: "You did a great job. But how exactly did you lure her here today? Why does she seem to be grabbing at you everywhere she goes?"
