Chapter 301 Luo'er and her grandmother, leaving the clan?
Madam Pei slowly stood up: "Luo'er, don't rush. Fill your stomach first, and come to the front yard to find your grandmother later."
Li Qingluo obediently watched her grandmother leave. Just as she sat down to continue eating, there was another loud 'bang' from the back window.
It sounded like pebbles hitting it.
Li Qingluo looked at the old women guarding outside the door. Did they not hear her?
She got up in confusion and walked to the back window. When she opened the window, she saw two tall figures standing outside the door.
It was Zhuiyu with a silly, goofy grin on his face, his expression seeming to say: "Girl, girl, it's me, it's us!"
There was also Prince Su wearing a half-white mask.
Did they change their masks?
The identity of Fifth Master Yue died at Jingyun Manor, so who is Prince Su, who should have been imprisoned in Prince Su's Mansion, now he is pretending to be?
Li Qinglu suppressed a laugh, leaned half her body against the window, and looked out at Prince Su, resting her chin on her hand, asking, "May I ask who this young master is?"
Chasing Rain: ...
Oh dear? Shouldn't the next question be, what crime should a lecherous man commit by trespassing into a woman's private quarters?
Zhuiyu smiled mysteriously.
Unexpectedly, Prince Su removed his mask to reveal his true face: "I heard there's some excitement in your residence, so I've come to see for myself."
Chasing the rain was instantly disappointing.
Surely it's because Your Highness is too boring that you haven't won the girl's heart after all this time?
Li Qingluo was quite pleased, and stepped aside to extend her hand in invitation: "So it's Your Highness. Why don't you come in quickly?"
Duan Rongshi looked at the windowsill in front of him: So, she wants him to go in from here?
Seeing his furrowed brows and troubled expression, Li Qingluo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, I was just teasing you, haha..."
"Hurry up and come in from the front. Those old women have probably already spotted you two, haha..."
After they entered Jingci Hall, they did not deliberately conceal their presence. Zhuiyu was already a familiar face, and everyone had spent time together in Guiyuan, so the nannies pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Li Qinglu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
It was really hard to fool him, but she didn't dare to get too cocky.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Prince Su moved his lips but ultimately said nothing. He simply turned and obediently walked forward.
Chasing Rain: ?
Since when have girls been able to tease their prince like this?
Heavenly Bodhisattva, she's probably the first person in the world to dare to mock their prince like this!
My dear girl, I really don't know whether you're lucky or blessed...
Li Qingluo was naturally blessed with both good fortune and a fortunate life.
She went out of the main house, and Duan Rongshi had already put his mask back on and was standing in the courtyard with Zhuiyu waiting for her.
Having eaten and slept well, Li Qing stepped forward and bowed slightly to Prince Su: "Your Highness, if you wish to watch the excitement, you'll have to make do tonight by serving as my personal guard."
After all, only guards could openly appear beside her and watch the show openly.
She stared at him with bright eyes, thinking to herself: I wonder if this Yama, the God of Slaughter, can tolerate this humiliating identity?
Duan Rongshi seems to be really bored.
Surprisingly, he replied, "It's alright."
Chasing Rain: Huh? ??
Your Highness, you have truly changed!
Zhuiyu shook her head and sighed, but then happily followed after them.
Finally, there's going to be a good show.
I've known for a long time that the plays at the young lady's residence are even more lively than those in the theater, and today I can finally watch one openly and honestly!
Hahaha!
forecourt.
When Li Qingluo arrived at the front yard with Duan Rongshi, Zhuiyu, and two nannies, a group of clan leaders were pressuring Old Madam Pei.
"Pei, what exactly do you want to do? In the end, after you married into the Li family, you did not fulfill your duties as the mistress of the house and help to produce offspring. Instead, you became jealous because of a concubine and abandoned everything in the house. This is why the entire Li family is now in this state. Don't you bear any fault and responsibility?"
"If Jing'er has really done anything wrong all these years, you, as his mother, have never fulfilled your responsibility to advise and guide him. Now that he is sick, you can still heartlessly ignore him. You are truly a wicked woman!"
"And what about that Qu woman? As her mother-in-law, have you ever taught her anything for even a day? You are even more responsible for the foolish things she's done!"
"We've said everything we could to you, good or bad! But you won't listen to a word we said. You just want to leave the Li family's mess alone, and you want to just walk away like you did back then?"
"Leave? You are still a woman. If you do something so cruel and ungrateful again, don't blame my Li family for expelling you from the family register! We'll make sure you have nowhere to be buried after you die!"
Li Qinglu strode in: "Exterminate! It would be best to immediately remove my grandmother and me from that rotten family genealogy!"
Do you really think we, grandfather and grandson, care about the surname Li?
"She even called my grandmother a vicious woman. My grandmother was just too kind back then, which is why she didn't turn this general's mansion upside down!"
"She spread rumors and schemes, and even the concubine who dares to act as the mother of the legitimate son dares to act arrogantly towards her. No one in the entire General's Mansion respects my grandmother, no one thinks of upholding justice for her, and no one supports her."
"Was it solely my grandmother's fault that she was forced to leave the General's Mansion?"
"My grandmother was completely devoted to everyone in the General's Mansion, and she served my mother-in-law with utmost care and filial piety. Was there even one person who truly protected her even a little bit?"
"Besides, if my grandfather hadn't been so heartless and ungrateful back then, not even remembering the kindness of my grandmother who risked her life to save him on the battlefield, and if the dirty things he did had driven my grandmother to complete despair, how could she have left?"
"If I were the grandmother, no one in this mansion would have an easy time. It wouldn't be a simple matter of leaving. At the very least, I would take that concubine's life, half of that unfaithful man's life, half of the general's family fortune, and only a dignified divorce would be enough to settle things!"
After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she had already reached Madam Pei's side.
Along with her came two male servants and two more nannies.
Seeing her domineering attitude, the elders of the Li family were so angry that their faces turned red, like pig livers.
"You, you, you've really gone too far! A woman, and a granddaughter at that, how dare you speak here?"
"Get out!"
"You rude, arrogant, and domineering wretch! Do you even know who we are? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of us!"
"Guards! Drag this little wretch away and give him a good slap!"
However, the original servants of the General's Mansion had long witnessed Li Qingluo's power, and none of them dared to step forward at this moment.
Besides, with so many old women standing around, who would dare to court death?
However, the clan elders also brought a few people with them.
Seeing that no one was moving from the general's mansion, these men rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.
However, before they could even enter, Zhuiyu blocked their path with a sword.
"My daughter doesn't like being disturbed when she's being lectured."
After saying that, he raised the sword and slammed it down hard, causing the two people in front of him to fall backward uncontrollably.
Then the first two, along with the rest of them, fell to the ground.
A chorus of "Ouch!" erupted as Zhuiyu turned and went outside, pointing her sword hilt at the group of people.
"Who dares to step forward and try?"
The Li family usually lived on the estate.
These clan elders are just ordinary farmers who are now relatively wealthy because their clan has prospered by establishing a general's mansion and buying a large estate to settle the entire clan.
Therefore, the people following him were all his cousins of the same generation as Li Qingluo.
How many of these people have ever seen such a scene?
This is actually the first time I've entered this general's mansion.
At this moment, they were all intimidated by Zhui Yu's two moves and dared not move.
The clan elders were so angry they jumped up and down.
"This is outrageous! This is truly defying the heavens! Pei, are you going to do anything about this wretched child?!"
"Or do you really think we wouldn't dare to remove her from the family register again?!"
After all, Li Qingluo was only added to the family genealogy half a year ago.
Being included in the Li family genealogy is an immense honor; who in the world wouldn't cherish it?
Little did they know that Madam Pei and Li Qingluo truly didn't care.
A woman's life is one of being born into her own family and marrying into her husband's family; she never truly has her own home.
Anyone who wants to drive them away can do so easily.
Why can't we have our own home?
It's just a matter of starting a new business; it's not like she can't do it.
This should have been done long ago.
Madam Pei laughed heartily.
She took Li Qingluo's hand and patted it: "What our Luo'er said is right."
"Every word, every sentence, is correct."
"I was indeed useless back then, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the battlefield to save a brain-dead man!"
"Luo'er, thank you for speaking up for me, for defending me, and for standing up for me. I have never felt so happy before."
Madam Pei nodded with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, all he could see was his beloved grandson, Li Qingluo.
“Alright, child, now it’s Grandma’s turn to speak.”
Li Qingluo stood obediently to the side: "Yes, Grandmother."
Madam Pei then coldly glanced at the old men.
She gave a cold laugh: "Do you really think I'm old, so you can bully me just because I'm a woman?"
"I can still tolerate you trying to show off your power."
"But you absolutely cannot try to bully my Luo'er!"
"Don't forget, half of the military achievements of this entire General's Mansion back then were earned by me, Pei Xiuzhen."
"Without me, how could you people be where you are today?"
"You think you can use your status as clan leader to intimidate me? No way!"
"Even if this entire general's mansion is raided and the entire clan is wiped out, I won't care!!"
Why should she be expected to dedicate herself to raising and supporting this family, even though she was betrayed by the whole family?
The son is her biological son, but he also wants to kill her!
The daughter-in-law is stupid and vicious, and her family members are all harboring evil intentions!
Don't even mention the grandson; he's a cancer, he shouldn't be alive at all.
So what if my bloodline is completely severed?
She was willing to be struck by lightning, just so that Luo'er and she could live a more enjoyable life in the rest of their days!
"Alright!"
"I called you here not to seek justice for anyone or to clean up the mess at the General's Mansion."
"Today, Luo'er and I are willing to voluntarily sever ourselves from the family genealogy and clan, and from now on we are no longer members of the Li family!"
"You should think it over carefully."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind selling the entire Li family first, and then dealing with you all!"
