Chapter 131 Brother, harming others ultimately harms yourself.
Li Qingluo quickly stepped forward and picked up Li Qingzhu's teacup: "Oh dear, elder sister, why are you so frightened? She's just an aunt from the Liu family, someone I met when I was little. But why is she coming to the princess's residence to claim kinship? Elder sister, have you seen her before?"
Li Qingzhu shuddered in fright.
How could she dare say that she had already recognized Liu Jinzhi?
This is something I absolutely must not tell you!
She could only shake her head and wave her hands frantically, "I don't want to see you, please don't..."
Li Kechuan had been staring intently at the two cups in Li Qingluo's hands, but when Li Qingzhu hurriedly threw them back into her arms, he was distracted.
"Guards! Take that stupid woman away right now! What kind of place is this? How dare such filthy people sneak in here!"
"Wait! Don't let the people in the princess's residence find out, lest it implicate the eldest daughter."
"Go, shut her up—"
Liu Jinzhi's plump body had already squeezed half of it in.
"Pearl! Let your aunt see you quickly! I heard you're injured, Pearl! Oh, damn it—how did you get like this! Pearl, could he really be so heartless as to abandon you like this—?"
Li Qingzhu covered her ears and screamed, "Ah!! Ah—make her...get out—get out!!"
Liu Jinzhi, that stupid woman!
If she keeps talking, she might just spill all the secrets about her and Prince Yun in front of her brother!
Then weren't all the things she said after returning to the general's mansion exposed without any real attack?
This must not be allowed!
Li Qingzhu now secretly wished she could kill Liu Jinzhi!
"I don't want to go back to the Liu family... Brother, I don't want to leave you... Brother, let her go... let her go—"
Li Qingzhu appeared to be completely emotionally broken.
This caused the slight doubt that had just arisen in Li Kechuan's mind to quickly vanish.
He held Li Qingzhu tightly and lashed out at her.
"What are you all standing there for? Take that stupid woman away right now! If she provokes the young lady and something happens to her, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"
Li Kechuan waved his hand, but Que'er, Granny Deng, and even Lüying outside the door remained motionless.
Only after Li Qingluo slightly moved her chin to signal did the others rush forward to help.
They subdued Liu Jinzhi in a few swift movements.
Li Qingluo never expected Liu Jinzhi to be so useless.
Originally, she wanted Liu Jinzhi to run out and claim kinship while everyone was still in the courtyard, which would be the most powerful confirmation and attack on Li Qingzhu's background.
Unfortunately, the spectacle in the garden seemed to frighten Liu Jinzhi, and she didn't dare to come out at all.
Fortunately, she did manage to do something for me in that incident.
It would be a real shame to lose this piece now.
Li Qingluo signaled to Granny Deng to tie the person up and leave later to make a plan.
Anyway, the rest of the Liu family should all be arriving in Jinling in another half month.
Liu Jinzhi was taken away, and a deathly silence fell over the doorway.
The Li family already knew about Li Qingzhu's background.
Now that everyone sees her own aunt in such a vulgar state, their gazes towards her inevitably take on a different hue.
Li Qingzhu simply couldn't stand it.
She clutched her aching head and collapsed to the ground.
Li Qingluo quickly asked, "Sister Zhu'er, please have some water."
As she spoke, she handed over the cup of tea she was holding.
But Li Kechuan slapped it away.
"roll!"
He was running out of patience and didn't want to continue the charade with her, fearing she might be up to something.
Li Kechuan didn't dare use the two cups in Li Qingluo's hands, fearing she might mix them up, so he picked up the teapot, looked at the cup beside him, and simply picked up his own.
"Zhu'er, come and have some tea."
After Li Kechuan personally fed Li Qingzhu two cups, Li Qingzhu's emotions seemed to stabilize somewhat.
Li Qingluo wasn't angry at having her hand pushed away; she stood aside and leisurely took a few sips.
Li Kechuan noticed that she had also drunk it, and couldn't help but stare at her, wanting to see her reaction.
She was holding two teacups in her hand.
One of them was hers, and it was poisonous.
The other one is Pearl's, and it's non-toxic.
Therefore, he is not sure which cup she drank from.
Unfortunately, Li Qingluo's expression was unpredictable, and she did not grant Li Kechuan's wish.
Just as Li Kechuan was feeling disappointed, Li Qingzhu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Ugh... Pfft—"
Li Qingzhu clutched her throat, her eyes widening in pain.
“I…ha…haha…”
Li Qingzhu stared at Li Kechuan in horror, unable to utter another word.
Li Kechuan was shocked and grabbed Li Qingzhu.
"Zhu'er! Zhu'er? Zhu'er, what's wrong? This..."
Li Kechuan picked up the teacup that he had just used for Li Qingzhu with trembling hands, and his expression changed drastically.
"You changed the cup?!"
He finally understood and angrily turned to glare at Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo looked completely innocent: "Brother, what are you talking about? What's wrong with the cup? Is there anything unusual about it?"
"What's wrong with my sister? Why is she suddenly vomiting blood? Oh my god, could there be something wrong with the tea? But I just saw it too..."
Li Qingluo looked as if she had just realized something.
"Brother, you're talking about the cup. Is there something wrong with the cup?"
Li Qingluo's gaze turned sinister as she stared at Li Kechuan, demanding an answer.
Is there anything Li Kechuan doesn't understand?
He underestimated her ruthlessness!
She actually used the same methods she used on her to harm Pearl!
She never believed in herself from beginning to end!
"You vile woman!"
Li Kechuan picked up the teacup and threw it at Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo raised her hand and caught it.
"This is evidence, brother, how can you just throw it away like that?"
"Later, why not hand it over to Her Highness the Eldest Princess and let her explain the matter? After all, it was caused at the Princess's residence. It would be better if you didn't wrong her again, brother."
As Li Qingluo spoke, she actually hid the teacup in her bosom.
Li Kechuan's face was so gloomy that he wished he could tear her apart.
"You dare! Unless you want your entire family wiped out because of you!"
Li Qinglu stared at Li Kechuan, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Li Kechuan, you're still as ridiculous and arrogant as ever. Is it because of me, or because of you?"
"Does that mean I'm obedient and docile if I just let you do whatever you want to me?"
"If I listen to you, I'll only end up being smashed to pieces. Do you really think I'm a worthless piece of trash, so eager to have a brother like you?"
"You wanted to harm me, but unfortunately, harming others will ultimately harm yourself. You've ended up harming the person you love most."
"Remember this: the one who harmed Li Qingzhu today was not me, but you, her brother."
After saying that, he slammed the other two teacups in his hand onto the ground.
Then he turned around and left.
Li Kechuan stared at her back with a sinister look, then got up by the bedside and took out a small knife from his pocket.
Li Qingya stared in horror at Li Qingluo's back. Before she could even utter a word of caution, Li Qingluo had already turned around and quickly pulled a thin rope from her sleeve.
'call out--'
A hidden arrow pierced Li Kechuan's leg.
