Chapter 210 The scumbag father wants to kill Luo'er?
Zhang Mama, Deng Mama, and Wu Quan each carried a bundle of quilts on their backs.
At first, the servants didn't dare to actually make a move.
However, when the nannies got physical, every move they made drew blood.
The servants were quickly overwhelmed.
Li Chaojing suffered several losses in silence!
With a heavy heart, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Since they won't listen to reason, I'll kill them all!"
As he spoke, he was the first to raise his sword and stab at Granny Zhang.
Granny Zhang's shoulder was pierced, and the sword tip then pierced through the quilt behind her.
Granny Zhang angrily cursed, "You beast!"
If she really is the old lady behind him, wouldn't he be plotting to murder his mother?!
Li Chaojing sneered, "You dare to play tricks under my nose? You're not qualified!"
He had long suspected that none of this was true.
After saying that, he drew his sword and thrust it directly at the bedding behind Zhang Mama's back.
The cotton was punctured and flew all over the sky.
Li Chaojing was not surprised at all.
He shouted, "Let me see what's on their backs!"
"You audacious slaves, daring to kidnap the old lady and flee the manor! If the old lady suffers even the slightest harm today, all of you will be executed on the spot!"
The servants shouted in unison, "Yes, General!"
Upon seeing this, Granny Deng burst into a tirade: "Li Chaojing, you're a scoundrel! Today we'll fight you to the death!"
After saying that, the nannies stopped being polite and each used their best skills from back in the day to counter.
Ms. Qu nervously looked around in the crowd.
"Where is Luo'er? Luo'er—Luo'er!!"
Li Kechuan also did not see Li Qingluo.
"Guards, go and drag the young lady out!"
The people guarding Li Kechuan immediately rushed into the crowd.
But no.
Li Qingluo was nowhere to be found.
Li Kechuan then remembered that during the chaos, he had clearly seen four people carrying 'grandmother' on their backs!
Why are there only three people here now?
Another one!?
Could the other one be Li Qingluo?!
Could it be that the person she's carrying on her back is her real grandmother?!
How could a young woman like her carry an old man on her back?!
And it ran away so nimbly and easily!?
Li Kechuan's breathing became much heavier.
Qu, in a panic, tried to break into the crowd.
"Luo'er—Luo'er! Come out quickly, Luo'er—! Mother is here, Luo'er—"
Her eyes were red, and her voice was somewhat flustered.
She didn't want to lose another daughter, and even thought about the scene at the Qishan Pass Water Cliff last time.
She made a wrong choice at the time, which pushed Luo'er further and further away.
All she's doing today is trying to give her a better future.
Why can't she understand?
When Li Chaojing heard Qu's shout, he looked around the crowd, but the rebellious daughter was nowhere to be seen!
He then shouted, "Damn it! I've fallen for this rebellious woman's trick!!"
But by the time he realized it, it was already too late.
Li Qingluo had already carried Madam Pei out of the General's Mansion.
Cui'er was already waiting at the back gate.
It seems that Granny Deng was mistaken. When she went to inform the second and third rooms, she had a thought and told Cui'er to wait at the back gate.
Tonight, all the servants were summoned by Li Chaojing to surround Jingci Hall.
So the servant guarding the back gate was knocked down by Cui'er with a single stick.
Otherwise, Li Qingluo wouldn't have appeared so quickly.
She was still carrying a sword.
Her grandmother was on her back, tightly bound to her body with a cloth.
"Grandmother, Luo'er will not let anything happen to you."
Li Qingluo glanced back at her grandmother and felt at ease only after confirming that she was still breathing.
Without further hesitation, she quickened her pace and, with the help of Que'er and the others, rushed into the pitch-black night.
Before the carriages could be harnessed, Li Chaojing's side realized what was happening, and the stables were naturally guarded to the death.
Everything was too rushed, and there was no time to prepare, so Li Qingluo and the others could only run wildly in the pitch-black night.
Before long, Li Chaojing led his men out of the mansion and rushed into the streets to search for Li Qingluo and Madam Pei.
"This way—that way—"
"quick!"
Many people on the street were jostled and couldn't help but wonder, "What happened?"
"Yes, they look like servants from the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane."
"Why is it their family again?"
However, while everyone was still speculating, the servant leading the group stood on a high place and loudly proclaimed, "A thief has appeared in our General of the Cavalry's mansion today!"
"This thief has taken my ailing old lady hostage and has now escaped from the General's Mansion!"
"Gentlemen, anyone who sees a suspicious person and helps our General's Mansion capture the thief and rescue the old lady will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"Anyone who accidentally kills a thief will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!"
"Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded!"
"..."
A commotion erupted from below.
Many people became excited and passionate.
Who wouldn't want to try their luck if they could earn money just by providing a clue?
Moreover, there was a chance to win a thousand or two hundred taels of silver. In that instant, everyone wished they could catch the thief and be the ones to save the old lady.
The entire street instantly descended into chaos.
Li Qingluo and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, changed their expressions.
Sparrow: "Master, are you trying to use this trick to force the young lady to return to the manor?"
Li Qingluo: "Right now, he probably really wishes I were dead."
A reward of five hundred taels of silver will be given for killing the thief.
Isn't she the 'thief'?
How could he not make a scene in front of everyone? His eldest daughter, the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, is this 'thief'!?
Li Qinglu sneered: "Trying to force me to show myself? He's dreaming."
Cui'er was the most timid one: "Then, where can we go?"
Ying'er: "Miss, I know a house that belongs to the old lady. However, to get there now, we have to cross the city."
Li Qingluo: "No. If we go through the city, we will surely be discovered. Grandmother, we can't wait any longer. We must go to Prince Su's residence immediately!"
Ying'er and Zheng Mama, who had escorted Li Qing out, were both startled by what they heard.
"Prince Su's Mansion!?"
Why does the young lady talk about going to the Prince Su's mansion as if it were her own home?
That, that's Prince Su!
Li Qingluo: "However, going to Prince Su's residence now is still quite risky... Wait! I know a place, come with me!"
It's Guiyuan.
That's Prince Su's private residence; it's the fastest way to get there!
After settling her grandmother in, she went to beg Prince Su to save her grandmother's life!
At this moment, Li Qingluo had no doubt that Prince Su would turn her away; this was her only hope for the night.
After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she didn't hesitate any longer and quickly led Que'er and the others into the deeper part of the alley.
Li Qingluo had followed Zhuiyu a few times in the middle of the night, and on those occasions they had to avoid the eyes of the patrols, so this road was not easily found even by ordinary people and the servants of the general's mansion.
Que'er was originally worried that it would be difficult for her to carry Madam Pei all the way.
However, seeing that Li Qingluo wasn't even out of breath, he began to admire his daughter's strength.
While the master and his servants fled to Guiyuan to escape, Duan Rongshi had just come out of Dali Temple.
He rode on his horse, looking at the chaos in the street, as if everyone was looking for someone, and then looked at Zhuiyu, who had just started his shift that day.
Zhuiyu went to inquire and returned with a look of urgency, reporting, "Your Highness, something has happened at the General's Mansion. The servants are now searching the streets for a thief, saying that this thief has kidnapped Old Madam Pei!"
Duan Rongshi: "Thieves? They've captured Old Madam Pei?"
Zhuiyu: "Yes. This is so outrageous, there must be something fishy about it!"
After all, everyone knows that Madam Pei is a female general. How could anyone kidnap her from the general's mansion?
Only the easily fooled ordinary people on this street believed it.
Duan Rongshi's eyes darkened: "Go, find out where Miss Li is."
Zhuiyu immediately turned around: "Yes—"
Duan Rongshi looked at the chaos on the street and gave the order: "Return to the manor!"
Li Qingluo carried Madam Pei on her back and arrived at the gate of Guiyuan without any major incident.
She knocked on the door, and it opened quickly.
She yanked off the mask covering her face: "It's me. Can you let me in?"
The mute slaves were naturally overjoyed to see her.
Without hesitation, they quickly welcomed her into the house.
Que'er and the others were still in a daze when Li Qingluo had already carried her grandmother and settled her in a room.
What exactly is this place?
How come these gatekeepers let them in so easily?
The mute servant made hand gestures, which Ying'er could understand.
"Young lady, they asked if you could help fetch a doctor?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes!"
"However, I must go to the Prince Su's residence myself! Only the renowned physicians there can offer a sliver of hope to save my grandmother's life!"
Li Qingluo quickly put on a maid's coat, removed all the jewelry from her hair, and quickly braided her loose long hair into a braid. She then hurriedly left the house with the mute servant she recognized most.
Ying'er gazed in the direction where Li Qingluo had disappeared and asked Que'er, "Miss, are you always so decisive and efficient in your actions?"
She even dared to go out late at night without Que'er and Cui'er by herself. Is there any girl in the world as brave as her?
The streets are full of people looking for her, isn't she afraid at all?
Sparrow: "What's the big deal? Our girls have faced life and death several times, and they've always managed to turn the tide on their own. If we go with them, we'll sometimes just hold them back."
Ying'er sighed, "The young lady is so sincere... she truly cares for the old lady."
Que'er's eyes reddened, and the two of them looked at the old lady who was unconscious on the bed.
"Of course. In the young lady's heart, the most important person in this world is the old lady."
"Ying'er, let's not sit idly by. I wonder how things are going on with my grandmother and the others. Let's split up and get to work."
"Ying'er, you stay here to take care of the old lady. I'm going out to meet my grandmother and the others! I hope they are all safe and sound!"
Although Li Qingluo was disguised as a maid in Guiyuan, she still carried her grandmother's sword.
There were no horses in Guiyuan, so she and the mute servant could only run and gallop all the way.
She didn't try to dodge along the way, just wanted to walk on the street like an ordinary person. She even deliberately drew some flower prints on her face with plaster and mud.
Unexpectedly, on a small road not far from the Prince Su's residence, they were still stopped by someone.
As luck would have it, the people in front of them were servants from the general's mansion.
"Halt! Ladies, have you seen anyone suspicious?"
