Chapter 223 Two corpses were carried to the front of the Liu family's gate!
Duan Rongshi shouted, "Get out of the way—"
Que'er and the others quickly flew forward with Prince Su. Li Qingluo was still in a daze from the grief of Sui'er's death. When she heard the noise and turned her head, she instinctively raised her sword to block, but the darts flew towards her like a rain of arrows—
'Ding ding ding ding...'
The knife that Duan Rongshi was originally about to throw at Zheng Lingzhou now spun around and blocked the hidden darts for Li Qingluo.
Looking up again, Zheng Lingzhou was nowhere to be seen.
His voice echoed through the woods: "Hahaha...! Prince Su, one day I, Zheng, will surely kill you with my own hands!"
"Luo'er, today our Lotus Sect has suffered a great loss because of you. Next time, I will not protect you like this!"
"You'd better watch yourself!"
Zheng Lingzhou vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
His skills were comparable to Duan Rongshi's, making him a formidable opponent.
Zhuiyu and Pofeng quickly led their men into the woods to continue the search, while the rest of the group methodically began collecting the bodies.
Duan Rongshi deftly sheathed his sword and quickly walked towards Li Qingluo.
When Duan Rongshi saw Li Qingluo covered in blood and holding a blood-stained sword, his breath caught in his throat!
"Li Qingluo!?"
He rushed over as fast as he could, grabbed her, and looked her up and down nervously.
Li Qingluo raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said numbly, "Sui'er is dead."
"She died right in front of me, while she was pregnant!"
Duan Rongshi was certain that she was not injured, but he did not feel relieved.
Instead, he raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe the blood off her face.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life, so you don't need to blame yourself."
"What you need to do is make those who hurt her suffer terribly, paying a price dozens or even hundreds of times worse than her!"
Li Qingluo looked up at Duan Rongshi.
The scattered light in her eyes slowly gathered again.
"Yes. You're right. I'll make them pay a price dozens, even hundreds of times worse than Sui'er!"
Granny Deng lost half an ear, and Liu Sui'er had already passed away, so Li Qingluo and her group hurriedly returned to Guiyuan.
Zhuiyu and the others carried the bodies of Liu Suier and Liu Jinzhi to the Liu family home.
After Zhuiyu knocked on the door, it was Wang who opened it.
When Wang saw a large group of officials standing at the door, she was startled.
She didn't dare to speak. When she looked down and saw two corpses in front of her, she screamed again and fell to the ground.
Old Liu came out upon hearing the noise: "You foolish woman! Who dares to come here and cause trouble? Can't you reveal that your own daughter is the favored concubine of Prince Yun's mansion?!"
But when he got to the door and saw two corpses, Old Liu was so frightened that he fell silent.
The other family members who were at home heard the noise and quickly came out of their rooms.
"What happened? Why are there two corpses?"
"Could it be our eldest brother? He's been running around these past few days, supposedly looking for business opportunities, but yesterday our second brother came back and said he saw him at the entrance of the gambling den."
"What nonsense are you talking about!?"
Old Liu let out a loud shout, and was about to go out and see what was happening when Liu Da emerged from the crowd.
"Why are there so many officials? Officials, has our family done anything wrong?"
When he saw Liu Da return, Old Man Liu straightened up immediately.
"Have you officials come to the wrong house? Our family members have all returned, so these two corpses really aren't ours..."
Wang said with a pale face, "No...no! Sui'er went out today! She...she hasn't come back yet!"
Old Liu turned around and glared at Wang, roaring, "What's she doing running around all day? It's your fault for not taking good care of her! If she really dies out there, then she deserves it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuiyu saw that all of their family members had arrived, so he directed his men to step forward and rip off the white cloth covering the corpse.
"Are these two yours?"
Zhuiyu pointed to Liu Suier, who was already cold on the ground, and said, "Today, when my Dali Temple went out of the city to handle a case, we encountered these two people at the foot of Qingsong Temple Mountain."
"The fat woman suddenly went mad and killed the woman with a knife. The woman was pregnant and died on the spot."
“This fat woman dared to commit violence in front of our Dali Temple and has been executed on the spot.”
"I heard they're both from your family?"
"In that case, you may all be placed in the coffin."
After saying that, Zhuiyu led his men away in a long stride.
A series of shrill screams and cries of agony erupted behind him.
"Sui'er—Sui'er!!"
"It's Jinzhi, Jinzhi!!"
"Oh my god, what on earth is going on?!"
"Sui'er is pregnant?! How...how is this possible?!"
"Sister-in-law, do you really know absolutely nothing about this?"
Old Liu: "Jin, Jinzhi, my daughter!! Jinzhi—"
The neighbors all came out to watch the spectacle, pointing and gossiping about the Liu family.
Zhui Yu glanced back at what was behind her and snorted coldly, "The Liu family's suffering is yet to come."
In his opinion, they should have taken advantage of the dark and windy night and killed the whole family.
However, the girl clearly had her own plans, and as a public official of the Dali Temple, he couldn't just exterminate an entire family without a legitimate reason.
I had no choice but to suppress this impulse for the time being.
As soon as Li Qingluo returned to Guiyuan, she heard Granny Zheng rush out and say, "Miss, the old lady has woken up!"
Li Qingluo's originally gloomy mood finally brightened upon hearing these words, with a glimmer of joy returning to her heart.
"Really!? Grandmother—"
Granny Deng and Granny Zhang went down first to bandage the wounds.
Que'er and Ying'er quickly stepped forward, first taking off Li Qingluo's outer garment, then wrapping her in a cloak before letting her into the room where Old Madam Pei was resting.
"grandmother!"
When Li Qingluo rushed in and saw that her grandmother had indeed opened her eyes and was sitting on the headboard eating, looking quite energetic, she burst into tears of joy.
"grandmother--"
After losing her best friend Nan Jia, her younger sister Sui'er, and the uncertain fate of her grandmother, Li Qingluo felt a tight string in her heart.
Fortunately, my grandmother finally woke up.
The biggest weight in her heart finally lifted completely at this moment.
Li Qingluo walked over and threw herself into her grandmother's arms with tears in her eyes, crying, "Grandmother! I thought I would never see you again... I really missed you. Please don't scare me like that anymore, okay?"
Li Qingluo raised her head.
Madam Pei quickly handed over the bowl and gently wiped away her tears.
"You silly girl, look at you crying, you look like a little kitten."
"Don't worry, Grandma won't die. Doctor Luo has returned, and he's even brought back the new master Grandma found for you!"
When the fake Shen He incident came to light, Old Madam Pei was furious.
She no longer trusted anyone else to teach Luo'er, so she personally asked an old acquaintance to come to Jinling to personally teach her precious darling.
However, this person was constantly entangled in trouble, which is why he was unable to get away for so long.
This time, when Doctor Luo went on his travels, he took the opportunity to capture this person at the border, and he did so in a great hurry.
Because what he received at the beginning was a letter personally written by Madam Pei, urging him to hurry back and save a Pei family girl who was seriously poisoned.
But when I got back, I found out that Old Madam Pei had almost died.
Doctor Luo and Madam Pei, who had been friends for decades, were terrified.
Only after taking her pulse did they confirm that Madam Pei still had residual poison in her body, but she had not yet woken up.
Just then, as they were talking, Old Madam Pei woke up!
As she spoke, Madam Pei pointed to the two people standing on one side of the bed.
"Hurry up and pay your respects to Physician Luo, and to your true master from now on, Nangong Di—Mr. Nangong!"
Li Qingluo then realized that there were other people in the room.
She must have been too excited, because when she came in she only saw her grandmother.
She quickly straightened up, her face burning: "Luo'er greets Doctor Luo, and greets...Mr. Nangong."
Since the formal apprenticeship ceremony has not yet been performed, Li Qingluo is not qualified to call this person "master".
She looked up at the other person and found that Doctor Luo was a handsome middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, but whose appearance did not look old.
Nangong Di had a long scar on his face, making him look terrifying, but he was about the same age as Li Chaojing and looked very stern.
The two men stared at her and nodded.
"Greetings, Miss Li."
Li Qingluo dared not look any longer and lowered her eyelids.
Madam Pei laughed heartily: "This little rascal, she's usually so thick-skinned, but seeing the two of you today, she's actually quite shy?"
Amidst the laughter, Li Qing quickly fled.
However, as soon as she left, Nangong Di frowned and said, "Madam, this girl is probably not easy to discipline."
Although she had changed her clothes, Nangong Di could smell the blood emanating from her as soon as she entered.
Nangong Di disliked people who had committed too many killings.
Madam Pei smiled and said, "If she sees blood, those people will surely deserve it. What are you afraid of? Our Luo'er is a woman who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and is upright and honest."
"Spend more time with her in the future, and you'll naturally understand her personality. She's most like me!"
That evening, Li Qinglu came to see Madam Pei again.
Granny Deng's head was wrapped in thick gauze.
Li Qingluo quickly asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Granny Deng smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I was lucky to run into Doctor Luo when he returned, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to reattach my ear."
Hearing this, Li Qingluo felt relieved and turned to look at Madam Pei: "Grandmother, did you call me here to talk about moving?"
Doctor Luo is back.
Grandmother woke up too.
The grandmother and granddaughter, along with a group of nannies, could no longer stay in Prince Su's private residence.
Madam Pei stared at Li Qingluo with a half-smile and said, "Aren't you going to tell me what exactly is going on between you and that Prince Su?"
