Chapter 254 Butterfly Begging for Food! Li Kechuan's sky has fallen!
After washing herself clean, Li Qinglu ate a little something and then went straight to bed.
She slept until the next day.
When she got up and remembered everything that had happened in the past few days, she immediately called Que'er in.
"Sparrow, quickly take me to see your grandmother first."
After returning yesterday, Li Qingluo felt dizzy and lightheaded, and rested without having time to deal with anything.
Now that I'm awake, the first thing I naturally want to do is go see Granny Deng.
Fortunately, although Granny Deng's injuries were quite serious, she was saved by Doctor Luo.
After a heartfelt exchange of gratitude between master and servant, Li Qingluo wiped her moist eyes as she left Deng Mama's room and immediately inquired about the young woman she had brought back from the Pei family's dungeon the previous day.
Cui'er came over: "Miss, we have washed that woman clean, and she has eaten and drunk her fill, and even had a nap."
Do you wish to see her?
Is she really that honest?
Li Qinglu recalled how fiercely she attacked and killed people, and couldn't help but feel strange.
Yesterday, after she returned, she instructed Que'er and the others that the woman might be afraid of daggers, so they should all carry daggers as a precaution.
Was she really that afraid of daggers that she was so obedient and compliant?
"Let's go take a look."
Li Qingluo was taken to the neighboring courtyard by Cui'er and the others.
They saw that the woman had indeed washed herself clean and changed into new clothes, and that her sparse hair had been shaved off.
Now, she has a completely bald head.
Because there were many sores on my face and head, some dark ointment was applied to them.
Although it still looks ugly, it's not as scary anymore.
Cui'er said, "Miss, she is so pitiful. She doesn't have many teeth, and she can't even walk properly."
“Yesterday, the servants brought her a lot of liquid food, but she didn’t seem to know that it was hot and should be eaten slowly. She wolfed it all down in a few bites.”
"And it seems she didn't eat anything good, just a bowl of meat porridge. After she finished eating, she looked at the maids longingly, as if she wanted to eat another bowl."
“The servants were just wondering why she was eating so fast, so they slowed down a bit. Who knew she would start kowtowing to them on the ground with a loud bang, as if she were begging for food.”
Begging?
Li Qingluo looked at the woman and saw her squatting in front of a patch of grass in the yard, curiously touching this and that.
In spring, new buds sprout and small flowers bloom everywhere.
The small garden in the courtyard is full of spring, and the spring scenery is vibrant everywhere.
She seemed to have never seen these things before, her eyes filled with curiosity and delight.
Even though she liked it very much, she had no intention of reaching out to pick it and destroy it.
I just cautiously stretched out my finger to touch it.
Suddenly, a butterfly gently landed on the little flower, and she instantly opened her eyes wide.
Just as I was about to reach out and touch the butterfly, it gracefully flew away.
She made a 'gurgling' sound and ran after him.
But her movements were not like those of a normal person. She did not stand up, but remained in the posture of a puppy, running forward on both hands and feet.
When she turned around and suddenly saw Li Qingluo, a look of joy instantly appeared on her face.
"Ahhh—ahhh—"
The woman pointed to the butterflies in the sky and asked Li Qing to look.
Li Qingluo squatted down, stared into the woman's eyes, and asked her, "Have you never seen these before?"
Li Qingluo still remembers that when she was released from the dungeon yesterday, she seemed afraid even of seeing blue skies and white clouds.
Based on her various behaviors, Li Qingluo had a guess in her mind.
She's either mentally challenged or has truly never seen the outside world.
She seemed to understand what I was saying, and she actually shook her head.
Li Qingluo smiled: "It's good that you can understand. Can you speak?"
She opened her mouth, seemingly hesitant to speak, then shook her head.
Li Qingluo: "Then, do you want to come with me? Maybe I can help you become a more normal person."
She nodded quickly, a shy smile on her face.
"Let me give you a name first. Did you like that butterfly from earlier?"
The woman looked up at the butterfly flying further and further away, and naturally liked it very much.
Li Qingluo: "Then how about you be called Butterfly from now on? I hope you can also break out of your cocoon and become a butterfly, and one day you can fly freely in this world and be a colorful and beautiful butterfly."
The woman was overjoyed: "Butterfly? Ah!! Butterfly? Ah—butterfly..."
She stammered out those two words, clapped her hands, and then chased after the butterfly like a little puppy.
Looking at Butterfly's innocent appearance, Li Qingluo murmured, "So Butterfly, who exactly are you? Why are you the only one alive among all the women captured in the dungeon?"
Just then, Nangong Di and Doctor Luo suddenly arrived together.
"Luo'er".
Nangong Di came to see Li Qingluo, while Doctor Luo was sent to take Li Qingluo's pulse.
But when the butterfly saw the two people, it suddenly let out a low growl and then rushed forward with great speed.
Fortunately, Nangong Di reacted quickly. He grabbed the butterfly by the neck with one hand, and with the other hand he quickly controlled the butterfly's hands. Then he pushed it far away with a look of disgust on his face: "What is this thing?"
"Luo'er, where did you bring this madman back from?"
Li Qingluo rushed over: "Master, Doctor Luo. It's so strange, why does she go so crazy whenever she sees a man? It's like she can't control herself, and she even has the urge to eat human flesh?"
Li Qingluo finally found it.
Butterfly behaves like a normal person when facing the female god.
But she only goes berserk when she is in the presence of a man.
Doctor Luo and Nangong Di exchanged a glance.
"Could it be... madness?"
Li Qingluo was greatly surprised to see that the two of them knew: "Master, Doctor Luo, what exactly is Blood Fever? Can you tell Luo'er?"
Nangong Di: "This matter is of utmost importance. Luo'er, let's go to your grandmother's place to talk. You tidy up here, and we'll meet in the old lady's courtyard in half an hour."
After saying that, Nangong Di pushed the butterfly away and then quickly left Li Qingluo's Zizai Residence with Doctor Luo.
Butterfly wanted to chase after it, but Li Qingluo called out to her, "Butterfly! Come back!"
"If you don't obey, I'll kick you out!"
The butterfly immediately wilted and returned to Li Qingluo's side with a pitiful look, looking at her without daring to show its fierce appearance again.
Seeing her like this, Li Qingluo's heart softened.
“Those are my master and my grandmother’s good friends. If you hurt them, I will not let you live any longer, understand?”
“I know you may not be able to control yourself, but now that you’re back in the outside world, you have to adapt and gradually learn to control yourself.”
Seeing her bewildered expression, Li Qingluo sighed, "Never mind, let's take it slow."
"Cui'er, give the order that no male servant is allowed to approach Zizai Residence. Also, do not release the butterfly out; before she gets used to it, avoid hurting anyone."
Que'er: "But girl, what will you do if you want to learn martial arts in the future? Master Nangong will come to teach you martial arts."
Li Qingluo: "It's fine for me to go to Master's courtyard."
Seeing that the butterfly quickly forgot what had just happened and happily squatted on the ground to play by itself again, Li Qingluo turned and left.
When Li Qingluo was having breakfast, Que'er said, "Miss, the master has been locked up by the old lady."
Li Qingluo: "Who did you say? Li Chaojing?"
Li Qingluo recalled Li Chaojing's visit that day and immediately asked, "By the way, did he do anything to harm Grandmother?"
Que'er shook her head: "This servant doesn't know either, but it shouldn't be. This servant only heard from Granny Zheng when I came back that the old lady seemed to... seemed to have originally planned to kill the master that day."
Li Qingluo: "What!?"
Grandmother wants to kill Li Chaojing?
Is it really possible for Grandmother to do such a thing?
Although Li Chaojing had previously tried to force his grandmother to her death, hadn't his grandmother always left him some leeway?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have done nothing but abandon the General's Mansion and left thirty years ago.
Although the mother and son had a falling out, he was, after all, the grandmother's only flesh and blood.
For some reason, Li Qingluo had a gut feeling that this matter was related to her.
"After Li Chaojing's incident, the General's Mansion didn't look for him? Also, during the days he was missing, he didn't attend court, and the court didn't punish him?"
Que'er: "It is said that the old lady personally wrote a memorial and sent it to the palace. In the memorial, she said that she was not feeling well, so she asked the master to ask for leave to take care of her."
"These past two days, due to the events at the Duke of Pei's residence, there has been some turmoil in the court, so perhaps no one is paying attention to how the master is doing."
"As for the General's Mansion, they know that it was the old lady who took the people away, but they don't know where we are now, so they haven't come looking for us yet."
"And young lady, the General's Mansion has been thrown into complete chaos because of that Li Kechuan!"
Li Qingluo naturally had not forgotten Li Kechuan.
"Have you inquired about how he's been these past two days?"
Que'er smiled and said, "Of course, I inquired about it early on and had the people left in the Jiang residence send back all the news from the past two days."
Li Kechuan's attempt to frame Li Qingluo backfired, and he himself fell into the trap.
To protect his innocence and life, he cruelly severed his own arm!
When Li Kechuan regained his senses and remembered everything that had happened, it was as if the sky had fallen...
