Chapter 302: Qu Shi saw all the murdered doll ghosts?
The elders all turned pale.
They didn't believe that the old woman's words were just a joke to fool them.
Is she serious?!
How foolish of me!
"You, you, you! How could there be such a vicious woman as you in this world? You know that once you're expelled from the family register, you'll be a nobody without any family support or reliance. And she's still an unmarried young woman. Do you really want to do this?!"
"Even if you don't care about yourself, shouldn't you at least think about the future of your granddaughter whom you keep saying you love so much?"
"Without her family's support, she's nothing anymore! Is she going to marry some peasant?"
"If Jing'er hadn't been delirious from illness, she would never have agreed to this matter once she knew the truth!"
Madam Pei: "Her greatest reliance and support is me! What use are you useless people?"
"Besides, even if her father wasn't insane, he couldn't make decisions for her!"
Li Qinglu smiled and held up a finger to her grandmother.
He thought to himself: "Grandmother is indeed domineering. Only by not being wronged can one live a long and healthy life."
Zhuiyu added, "Don't worry, old folks! My daughter is destined for greatness. You won't even have the right to see her in the future, so stop making these useless excuses about not being willing to let her go."
However, no sooner had Zhuiyu finished speaking than Deng Mama and Zheng Mama, who had just gathered at the door, walked in together: "Madam, Miss. We have brought everyone back."
Li Qingluo looked at the sky outside, which was now completely dark.
"Let's go, the timing is perfect."
"It's time to put on a good show."
Madam Pei looked at Li Qingluo, her tone softening: "Do whatever you want to do."
Li Qinglu bowed: "Yes, Grandmother. If any of the elders are also interested, they might as well see for themselves what kind of sordid things have happened in this house."
After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she helped Old Madam Pei up and led her outside.
As she passed Prince Su, who stood there leisurely like a statue, she mustered up her courage and looked into his eyes.
Today he saw it for himself; she was never a domineering girl to be trifled with.
Next, he will see that she will show no mercy even to her own mother...
Even if she is struck by lightning in the future, she was born to be a rebellious person who defies the heavens.
They are definitely not good people.
Only in this way can she survive and protect herself and the people she wants to protect.
Duan Rongshi did not avoid her gaze. Only after Li Qingluo looked away first did he slowly follow her.
Moonlit Garden.
The dappled shadows of the trees swayed and flickered in the darkness.
Like a demon with arms, it keeps reaching out, trying to drag those who have done evil down to hell.
Qu and her birth mother, You, stood close together.
Both of them looked around nervously, and the slightest sound or movement would make them scream and tremble.
Madam You cursed and swore, "Does your General's Mansion have no shame?"
"I am, after all, your Li family's in-law, yet you treat me like this. Is this how your General's Mansion operates?"
"They're nothing but robbers and bandits!"
"You two heartless and depraved grandparents, you dare to imprison a court lady here! You will die a horrible death!"
"Wait until I get out, wait until I go home. Even if you were in the General's Mansion, none of you would be surviving this time!"
Yu's arrogance was to embolden himself.
But all Qu could do was sob and cry.
"How could this happen... how could this happen..."
She really couldn't understand why her mother-in-law wouldn't give her a chance. She had only wanted to help her mother-in-law go home, and she didn't dare to interfere in Luo'er's marriage anymore. She also promised to change her ways and treat Luo'er well from now on.
Even Madam You couldn't help but scold Madam Qu: "You idiot, are you still dreaming at a time like this?"
"Your daughter is a vicious little beast, what more could you possibly want from her?"
"That old woman probably already discovered what you did to her. How can you expect her to treat you without any resentment?!"
"Ha, I think my daughter and I are going to be worn down and killed here by them today."
"However, I, the You family, am not easily intimidated. There are very few people in this world who dare to scare me!"
"Hey Pei, get over here right now and untie me! Let me go!"
'Meow--'
A black cat emerged from the bushes.
In the pitch-black night, its only feature was a pair of bright green eyes, like a pair of glowing emeralds.
But its tail was held high, its body was arched long, and it gradually walked towards the Qu mother and daughter...
"This...this is Aunt Zheng's cat!"
Qu cried out in terror, "Didn't I already order someone to kill it? How could it still be alive?!"
Ms. Qu looked as if she had seen a ghost and kept hiding behind her mother.
Although Madam You's face was also extremely ugly, she cursed Madam Qu: "Useless thing, just a beast, does it think it can eat—ah!!"
Before Madam You could finish speaking, a loud "Meow!" rang out, and the black cat pounced on her, scratching and clawing at her old face.
"ah!!!"
Yu was in so much pain that she rolled on the ground, wanting nothing more than to get rid of the black cat. However, the black cat pounced on her face and refused to come down, scratching her face to shreds in just a few moments.
Qu could only hide behind and watch this scene in horror, unable to even utter a cry for help.
Just then, Ms. Qu saw a shadow flash by at the door.
A familiar figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
She wore a snow-white long dress.
Her long hair was loose.
His face, bathed in the newly emerged moonlight, was deathly pale...
"Aunt Zheng?"
"You...you're back?"
Aunt Zheng looked at Madam Qu with a blank expression.
She suddenly turned and walked outside.
The black cat slowly descended from Yu's face.
It let out a "howl" and disappeared into the grass again.
Suddenly, Ms. Qu discovered that the ropes binding her hands and feet had somehow been untied.
She immediately looked at her mother, Madam You, who was still clutching her face and crying out in pain, and rushed over to ask, "Mother, how are you? Mother?"
Madam You raised her hand and grabbed at things haphazardly: "It's all your fault, my daughter, it's all your fault, my mother!"
When Qu saw that You's face was covered in blood, she screamed in fright and stumbled backward, falling heavily to the ground.
Luckily I dodged in time, otherwise the cat would have scratched me!
Wait, the rope on Mother's hands has loosened too?
Could it be because of that black cat?
But it never touched me!
This strange incident gave Qu a severe shiver.
And instantly, all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Qu didn't have time to think any further, and she couldn't even be sure if the Zheng aunt she had just seen was an illusion.
She could only quickly help up the still screaming You Shi: "Mother, let me take you out of here quickly!"
As soon as they stepped out of the garden, Madam Qu helped Madam You out of the Moonlit Garden. The moment they left the garden, she couldn't help but look back at the plaque above them, which was already tilted and covered in dust.
She had been fighting with the owner of this garden for over a decade...
Could it be that she is really dead and has become a vengeful ghost?
"Meow--"
The black cat suddenly darted out and jumped onto the door frame, startling Qu Shi, who quickly helped You Shi run towards the garden.
But as soon as she and Madam You reached the lakeside, they saw Aunt Zheng again!
This time, Aunt Zheng had her back to Madam Qu.
The vast garden was bathed in an eerie orange light as she entered.
There wasn't even a single servant woman to guard the garden.
There was no one in sight.
It was just herself, Madam You, and Aunt Zheng, who stood by the lake like a ghost.
Qu could no longer take a step; her feet felt as if they were filled with a thousand heavy lead.
She trembled violently, and mustered her courage to call out again, "Aunt Zheng, is it really you?"
"Aunt Zheng, are you...are you dead or alive?"
"Zheng—"
"Ah!!" Madam Qu screamed as she watched Aunt Zheng plunge headfirst into the lake.
However, Aunt Zheng quickly climbed back ashore.
Her face was still covered in hair.
Barefoot, he walked step by step toward the Qu family.
What utterly terrified and drove Qu to the brink of madness was that after Aunt Zheng emerged from the lake, she was carrying a bundle of cloth in her arms!
Could there be a baby inside?
In an instant, it seemed as if Qu really heard the cry of a baby.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Zheng also started crying.
"My child...you are so pitiful...you were thrown into the lake by that wicked person as soon as you were born..."
"This lake water is so cold, so cold, so cold..."
"My child..."
Immediately afterwards, another little girl's pitiful voice came: "Mother... Bao'er is so uncomfortable... Mother..."
"Please save me, please save me... Waaah, Bao Jie'er is in so much pain."
"I don't want to die. My brother said that Mother has no more children and no more relatives..."
"But the stepmother wants to kill Bao'er..."
Ms. Qu cried out in terror, "No, it wasn't me—! It wasn't me, ah!"
She covered her ears and collapsed to the ground, watching as Zheng Shi, holding the child, vanished in the blink of an eye.
Madam Qu finally realized that Aunt Zheng was the ghost!
So, she knew everything?
She has already met her children in the underworld, so she knows the truth about what happened back then?
Is she back to take her life now?
Perhaps because Zheng hadn't actually harmed her yet, Qu, even though she was terrified, still mustered her courage and roared, "I'm not afraid of you! Not afraid—ah!!"
A bloodied and mangled baby suddenly crawled out of the lake.
Following closely behind the baby was a little girl of about five years old.
Behind the baby girl, there were two even smaller babies...
They all crawled toward Qu Shi, making babbling noises.
She kept calling her "stepmother".
Ms. Qu finally broke down completely, crying, "No, no, it wasn't me, it wasn't me at all... Don't look for me..."
"Help, help me... It really wasn't me, ah!!"
Ms. Qu screamed and tried to get up, but her legs were completely weak and she was too weak to stand up.
All she could feel was the first bloody, mangled doll burrowing into her arms.
Then very quickly, she was covered in dolls.
There were boys and girls.
They opened their mouths and bit her face and body all over.
It sucked her blood like it was nursing...
Tears and snot streamed down Qu's face as she cried, finally unable to hold back any longer, she shouted, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to—please forgive me, I really didn't mean to kill you all..."
