Chapter 133 The crippled are crippled, the mute are mute
Li Qingluo instantly snapped to attention: "The Pei family? Really?"
She threw back the covers and got out of bed, only to find that it was already dark outside.
Que'er quickly put down the soup in her hand, took an outer robe and draped it over Li Qingluo.
"Young lady, please slow down. You should at least take care of yourself. This is not the Duke Pei's mansion."
Li Qingluo looked at Que'er, waiting for her to continue.
Que'er: "This is a villa of the Duke Pei's mansion, located in the north of the city, called 'Siyuan'."
Li Qingluo: "How did I get here?"
She must have accidentally fallen asleep in the Minglou building.
I fell asleep before I could finish reading about the poetry debates downstairs.
When Pei Nanjia and the others left, they didn't wake her up?
Moreover, why didn't they take me home?
Que'er quickly explained, "Miss, after you fell asleep, the princess and the twelfth young lady were originally going to take you home together, but the people from the princess's residence came and took the princess away first."
"The Twelfth Miss said she would take you back, but halfway there she said there was an emergency at the Academy. The Twelfth Miss couldn't take you back in time, so she had to bring you back with her."
Li Qingluo understood the whole story.
"Has anyone gone to inform Grandmother?"
As for her parents in the General's Mansion, she didn't care about them at all.
Anyway, the General's Mansion will probably be in complete chaos today.
Li Qingzhu first caused Prince Yun's concubine to miscarry.
He was later punished by the princess.
Then he was poisoned by Li Kechuan again...
Thinking about it, Li Qingluo felt sorry for her. Tsk!
It's fine for her to come out and find some peace and quiet.
She inevitably gets dragged away by them again in the middle of the night, and they try to smear her again, which is incredibly annoying.
Que'er nodded: "Don't worry, Miss. Twelfth Miss said that you should rest here tonight, so she arranged for a message to be sent back to you a long time ago."
"The old lady will be very happy to know that you have already made contact and have dealings with the Pei family!"
Grandmother wants to go back to the Pei family and have a meal with the old master of the Pei family.
This matter sounds simple, but it is indeed quite difficult for Li Qingluo to accomplish.
Fortunately, she has now met Pei Nanjia, and their relationship is becoming increasingly familiar, so things are finally starting to look promising.
At this time, in the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane.
The Ziwei Hall was filled with weeping.
Dr. Jiang remained inside the room for a long time without coming out.
The courtyard was filled with servants, who were busy running around inside and outside.
Several maids, having been punished, were kneeling under the eaves, crying so hard they were almost breathless.
Annoyed by the crying, Madam Qu shouted angrily, "If they cry again, drag them all away and sell them off immediately!"
"You still dare to cry? If you don't correct your daughter's behavior, you should be punished when something happens!"
The crying subsided, but it planted seeds of hatred in the hearts of each maid.
Today, Li Qingzhu went out with only one servant, Lü Ying.
Even if they wanted to offer advice, they would need to be able to do so!
Moreover, none of them grew up with the young lady since childhood. Even if they tried to persuade her, would the young lady listen to them, who are just servants?
Green Firefly is naturally the one who's in the worst situation right now.
I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for at least a month.
He's still lying there with his buttocks a bloody mess; who wouldn't feel a sense of shared sorrow upon seeing him?
Today, they are all suffering as a result of the Ziwei Hall incident.
If that girl really died, wouldn't they have to be buried with her?
"Master, Madam, Eldest Young Master. The eldest young lady is not in mortal danger, but... from now on, she will never be able to speak again."
Dr. Jiang sighed, thinking it was a pity.
Li Kechuan, who was standing under the tree and was leaning on his cane, stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing this.
Shocked and grieving, Qu noticed him and immediately had someone help him up.
"Chuan'er! Quickly, help the young master up!"
Madam Qu came to Li Kechuan's side personally, her face full of grief: "Chuan'er, since it has already happened... don't blame yourself too much..."
Li Kechuan suddenly looked up at his mother.
"Mother, do you also think this is my fault?"
Qu opened his mouth, speechless.
She has already asked the two maids from the second and third wives' households.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, anyone with common sense could understand that this was a vicious scheme Chuan'er had originally planned for Luo'er!
It was just a twist of fate that Zhu'er's own aunt interfered with this matter... Perhaps Luo'er did indeed tamper with things, but didn't Luo'er give Chuan'er a choice?
It was Chuan'er who missed the non-poisonous teacup.
Is it really Luo'er's fault for this?
But thinking of her eldest son's current situation and how Zhu'er had become, Madam Qu couldn't bear to say anything that would hurt her feelings.
"Chuan'er, that's not what your mother meant..."
Li Kechuan's voice rose involuntarily: "What does Mother mean by this!? It was clearly Li Qingluo who did it on purpose! If she had pointed out which cup was poisoned, would I... would I have given it to Zhu'er?"
Li Chaojing walked over and slapped Li Kechuan hard across the face.
"You scoundrel! Is this how you talk to your mother?!"
How did your sister know you tampered with the tea?
"You committed the evil deed first, and now you're blaming her!"
"You're the one who ruined Zhu'er. You don't want to admit it or face it, and you still want to smear Luo'er?"
"I spoiled you too much in the past, which is why you have become such a selfish, arrogant, and narrow-minded person!"
"If this weren't mentioned, it wouldn't be Luo'er's fault at all; you would bear the greatest responsibility!"
"Guards, lock the eldest young master in Lancang Courtyard. He is not allowed to step out of the courtyard for three months!"
Li Kechuan covered his face and looked up at his parents.
He suddenly gave a bitter laugh.
"Things have changed...you've all changed!"
“In the past, my father, mother, Zhu’er and I were such a happy and harmonious family of four. But now, some of us are disabled and some are mute.”
"His reputation is ruined, and his future is completely destroyed."
"Father, Mother, does our General's Mansion still have a future?"
"Didn't all of this change from the day Li Qingluo returned?"
“Your hearts are increasingly leaning towards her now, and you don’t want me and Pearl anymore… Ha, ha… Hahahaha…”
Li Kechuan was led away with a smile.
As she watched his figure, Qu wept repeatedly.
"What should we do..."
Li Chaojing sighed: "What else can we do? The most urgent thing is to prevent him from causing any more trouble and to get him married to the Cui family's daughter as soon as possible!"
"As long as we have offspring, our General's Mansion will never fall."
"Also, you are not allowed to pursue the matter of Zhu'er when Luo'er comes back!"
Qu felt a pang of sadness.
Although she has been feeling guilty towards Luo'er lately, how innocent is Zhu'er?
Especially after what happened today, Pearl will be... mute from now on!
Thinking of this, how could Qu not feel heartbroken?
And now, she no longer blames everything on Luo'er as she used to, nor does she ever think that it might be Luo'er's fault.
Could it be that, as Chuan'er said, my heart has already changed and gone astray?
