Chapter 101 Luo'er Returns Home, Are You Disappointed That I Didn't Die?
Li Qingluo instantly became as docile as a kitten.
Although she was extremely nervous and even bit her lip tightly, she didn't dare to move at all.
Duan Rongshi's hands were large; with just one circle, he could completely grasp Li Qingluo's calves.
Although Li Qingluo was thin, her flesh was quite firm.
In an eerie silence, the dignified Prince Su personally and carefully reapplied the medicine to Miss Li's wound before properly bandaging it again.
Li Qingluo didn't feel any pain.
Both involve applying medicine, so why is this?
Duan Rongshi looked at her and said, "If you don't move around carelessly, you won't bleed easily anymore."
Li Qingluo couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of her.
He had a red mole between his eyebrows, an appearance of unparalleled beauty, and a compassionate deity.
Yet his cold gaze seemed to suggest he had already seen through all the hypocrisy and cruelty in the world…
This person seems to possess no trace of compassion.
"Your Highness! Your subordinate has hunted a big, fat rabbit!"
Zhuiyu Huanxi rushed back, dragging a tree branch in one hand and carrying a rabbit in the other.
Duan Rongshi immediately stood up, tore off a piece of his clothes with a look of disgust, then wet it with a water pouch and carefully wiped each of his fingers.
Li Qingluo: "..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Leng Dian grabbed Zhui Yu and yelled at him in a low voice, "Are you out of your mind?"
Zhuiyu: "Huh? What's wrong with me? Lengdian, what did you say?"
Leng Dian looked quietly at the big idiot in front of him and sighed: "Never mind, I didn't say anything."
The fat rabbit was naturally roasted by Li Qingluo.
She didn't know why, but after they killed the rabbit and cleaned it, they just threw it into her hands...
It seems she can't escape the identity of a cook, no matter where she goes.
Li Qinglu sighed, quickly divided the rabbit into pieces, and then put it on the grill to roast.
When you're out and about, without any seasonings or utensils, roasted rabbit may have a slightly gamey taste, but having something to eat is better than nothing.
After they had filled their stomachs, they each found a place to rest.
Li Qingluo looked up at the starry sky and thought of her grandmother again.
Just as Zhuiyu whistled, a bird flew in from nowhere.
After they wrote a few words with their charcoal pencils, the bird flew towards the direction of Jinling City.
Zhuiyu said, "Miss Li, don't worry, your grandmother will definitely receive news of your safety."
Li Qingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and felt no more worries in her heart.
That evening, at the General's Mansion.
Madam Pei couldn't eat a single bite of food.
Not only that, they even refused to drink soup.
This made Granny Zhang and everyone else in the room extremely anxious.
"Madam, please eat a few bites! Didn't the young lady send a message a couple of days ago saying that she has her own plans and nothing will happen to her..."
Madam Pei: "But she didn't say she was going to fall off the cliff! This foolish child, why would she be so foolish? Is it worth it for Li Qingzhu?"
Madam Pei seemed to have aged overnight, with a few more gray hairs at her temples.
The women, including Granny Zhang, felt a pang of sadness at the sight and couldn't help but wipe their eyes.
"Perhaps, the girl has truly lost all hope..."
"Madam, you have really made a huge mistake! Moreover, they are protecting Li Qingzhu and bringing her back, as if the self-immolation incident never happened!"
Madam Pei: "Their hearts are biased from the start. I even had the audacity to hope that Luo'er could reunite with their family and live in harmony! What was I thinking? I let Luo'er suffer all those injustices!"
"You think you can just let this go? No way! As long as I'm alive, I won't let them get away with this!"
Madam Pei was still furious, and Zhang Mama kept patting her chest, saying, "Madam, please don't be so anxious. Master just returned, and I can tell he's been genuinely looking for the young lady all day, but he doesn't dare to come see you right now..."
Madam Pei: "Let him come! I want to ask him a good question about what kind of wife he married and what kind of adopted daughter he raised!"
Just as she was throwing a tantrum, Ying'er walked in, looking nervous and excited.
"Madam, a carrier pigeon has arrived. It looks like the same one as last time!"
Madam Pei's eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly: "What did you say? Quick, bring him in!"
Ying'er carried a cage, and Old Madam Pei quickly took the letter from the carrier pigeon's leg.
When unfolded, it read: "Do not worry, do not fret."
Although it was only four words, Madam Pei's heart was finally at ease.
"It's Luo'er, it must be Luo'er! She's alright, she's really alright! Why did this child only write to me now!"
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Madam Pei nodded repeatedly, her eyes red.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on the cloth in her hand.
"Wait! This cloth looks like the kind of silk gauze reserved for royalty! Granny Zhang, bring the lamp closer!"
After confirming it, Madam Pei couldn't help but murmur, "Who exactly is Luo'er with?"
Zhang Mama asked nervously, "Madam, should we call for the master to come over?"
Madam Pei: "No need! Let him taste the bitterness of regret and heartbreak!"
The entire general's mansion was deathly silent.
Mingming, their most beloved eldest daughter had returned, but no one dared to laugh or joke around.
The reason is that the second young lady of the General's Mansion has been missing for several days!
I heard that both the eldest and second daughters were kidnapped by the Lotus Sect, but the second daughter, being resolute, bravely jumped off the cliff by herself...
Therefore, even though it was a joyous occasion that the eldest daughter had come back from the dead, not a single person in the entire household dared to celebrate today.
Besides, Lancang Academy.
Li Kechuan had originally intended to give Li Qingzhu a lively drink.
But Li Qingzhu herself knew it was inappropriate, so she declined and quickly returned to her temporary new residence.
But when she got back, she secretly threw a huge tantrum.
"Should everyone stop laughing because of her?"
"My mother is clearly awake, why won't she see me?"
"Mother is probably resentful of me... and Father too, I didn't see a trace of joy on his face when I came back!"
"Waaah... Just what are Li Qingluo's abilities?!"
But Li Qingzhu didn't even dare to voice this complaint loudly.
After all, all of her trusted confidants in the mansion had been burned to death by her scheme to stage the self-immolation scene.
The next day, Li Qingzhu went to Lancang Courtyard to see Li Kechuan, looking haggard.
“Brother, I got up early to pay my respects to Mother, but she was very cold to me. I heard that Father didn’t even eat breakfast before leaving the mansion again.”
“Zhu’er knows that Luo’er’s fate is unknown, and Father and Mother are worried sick about it. They are heartbroken and distressed. But I… but I’m worried about Father and Mother’s health.”
"Brother, why don't you go and try to persuade our parents?"
"Now, it's all because of me... my fault that Luo'er is in this state. I... I feel really uneasy."
"If I hadn't struggled to come back and see you all, perhaps none of this would have happened..."
Li Kechuan reached out and wiped away Li Qingzhu's tears with heartache.
"Alright, Pearl. This isn't your fault."
"This is Li Qingluo's fate!"
"This family should only have you as a daughter. How could she possibly survive falling off a cliff?"
"Even if Father searches the entire bottom of the cliff, he probably still won't find Li Qingluo!"
"Even if we find it, so what? It will probably be smashed to pieces by now, and we won't even be able to find its complete body."
"Besides, she deserved to be eaten by wild beasts! It was she who made our Pearl so afraid that she even had the heart to try to scare us by setting herself on fire."
Zhu'er was very pleased with herself for being coaxed by Li Kechuan.
A smile even crept uncontrollably onto her face, yet she had to feign a sensible sadness. The combination of these two emotions made her beautiful face appear somewhat eerie.
"Brother, please don't say that..."
But just then, a familiar, cold laugh suddenly came from the courtyard gate: "So I'm not dead, are you disappointed, brother?"
