Chapter 27: Grandmother discovers the whereabouts of the fake heiress?
Que'er supported Li Qingluo, her face full of anxiety: "Miss, please bear with it, we'll be back at Red Maple Pavilion soon." In fact, even Que'er didn't know that Li Qingluo's poisoning this time was something she had deliberately done.
Although the Red Maple Pavilion is planted with red maple trees, there happens to be an oleander tree outside the courtyard wall.
Li Qingluo grew up in the mountains, so how could she not know the toxicity of oleander?
She encountered Doctor Jiang outside Chunzaitang yesterday, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
Qu was clearly extremely impatient with her, but she had been holding back for many days.
Everything was calm on Li Kechuan's side as well, which made Li Qinglu feel somewhat uneasy.
Sure enough, he was waiting for her there.
Fortunately, she had taken some precautions beforehand; otherwise, she might not have been able to escape this bloody or flesh-cutting ordeal today.
snort.
Even if she poisons herself, Li Kechuan will never succeed in this matter in this lifetime.
Li Qingluo lay down as soon as she returned to the Red Maple Pavilion.
She told Que'er not to tell Jingci Hall about this, and after thinking about it, Que'er finally listened to her.
Li Qingluo simply felt that if her grandmother heard too many of these trivial matters, she would definitely get annoyed and think that she was useless.
However, Li Qingluo will let her grandmother know just how ruthless and heartless her relatives are, how much they want to kill her, and that they are not worth Li Qingluo's sincere feelings.
However, not now, but at a suitable time to strike at the heart of the matter!
Li Qinglu was vomiting and having diarrhea, feeling dizzy and lightheaded; the signs of poisoning were becoming increasingly obvious.
Que'er went to fetch a doctor, but when she returned, she was still discovered by Granny Deng.
After learning about this, with the help of Que'er to persuade and plead for leniency, Granny Deng was able to avoid reporting it to Old Madam Pei.
But what happened today can no longer be kept secret from Granny Deng.
"That's so cruel! If it weren't for the fact that the young lady was poisoned by mistake, wouldn't she have really had to have her blood drawn and her flesh cut off? The young lady is really suffering, she's not feeling well anywhere."
Que'er also felt sorry for him: "Yes. Today was really dangerous. That kick still hurts."
After examining Que'er's injuries, Granny Deng cursed Li Kechuan a thousand times in her heart.
That guy is a complete bastard!
Que'er: "Grandma, let's listen to Miss and keep this from the old lady for now. I always feel that Miss is a shrewd person, and she must have other plans for this matter."
Looking at her own granddaughter, Granny Deng thought of Que'er's future and agreed.
Once Li Qingluo felt a little better, Granny Deng came in to comfort her: "Miss, would you like to know who owns that house by the Qinhuai River?"
Li Qingluo pretended not to know, "Whose is it?"
Granny Deng lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "I investigated personally, and it's the residence of the current fourth prince, Prince Yun!"
Li Qingluo pretended to be very surprised, widening her eyes and even lightly covering her lips.
"How could this be...? Could it be... with the royal family...?"
She didn't even dare to say it aloud; her face was full of surprise, and Granny Deng had no doubt whatsoever.
Granny Deng: "This matter involves the prince, so it's no small matter. The old lady only told us to continue our investigation secretly, and not to make a big fuss about it. If we're not careful, it could implicate the entire Li family!"
Li Qinglu nodded quickly: "Yes, Grandmother can decide this matter. But please continue to tell me about the follow-up news of this matter, after all, I also have the surname Li."
Granny Deng: "Don't be afraid, young lady. I'll tell you everything I know in the future."
Now that Que'er is Li Qingluo's person, Granny Deng's heart will naturally lean more towards Hongfeng Pavilion.
After two days of recuperation, Li Qing's symptoms of poisoning gradually subsided.
Her already sharp little face is now only the size of a palm.
Fortunately, recently, under the supervision of Que'er and Cui'er, she has been taking the Snow Skin Pills that her grandmother bought for her from Fangxiangzhai every day, and she also applies skin cream after bathing every day. Her skin seems to have really improved.
It feels smoother than before, and my skin tone is a little brighter.
However, skin care seems to be a process that requires patience, so it is not particularly effective in the short term.
Li Qingluo was staring blankly at her reflection in the water when Que'er and Cui'er walked in with long faces.
"What happened?"
Que'er clenched her fists angrily and said, "Miss, it's people from the Zhongyi Marquis's family."
Cui'er gently tugged at Que'er's arm and whispered, "Que'er, Miss hasn't fully recovered yet, let's not add to her worries..."
Que'er pursed her lips and then stopped talking.
Li Qingluo asked calmly, "Did their family come to annul the engagement?"
Que'er and Cui'er were both surprised, not understanding how she knew.
Li Qingluo certainly knew.
This also happened in my previous life, and the timing was about the same.
Zhuang Wei personally came to break off the engagement because he overheard his elders discussing the matter, saying that since Li Qingzhu was dead, hadn't the Li family found another daughter?
In order to preserve the marriage ties between the two families, Li Chaojing and Marquis Zhongyi have reached a tacit agreement to continue arranging the marriage for Li Qingluo.
Zhuang Weicai had just lost his beloved, and in his heart, Li Qingluo was the poisonous woman who drove Li Qingzhu to her death. How could he be willing to compromise?
So, he went to their house without permission and made a scene, demanding that they break off the engagement.
In the previous life, although Zhuang Wei made a scene, it was all in vain and nothing changed.
Li Qingluo also heard that after he was captured and taken back, he was locked in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel for several days as punishment.
Zhuang Wei even threatened to cut off his food and water supply, but apart from Lady Zhongyi, who was so heartbroken that she almost followed him, Zhongyi Marquis did not change his mind.
Zhuang Wei then suddenly became very diligent and began studying day and night, saying he wanted to participate in the imperial examination.
As it turned out, he actually passed the exam and even achieved the highest rank, becoming a third-place scholar in the imperial examination.
Seeing his promising future, the Marquis of Zhongyi's family softened their stance, but Zhuang Wei suddenly changed his mind and agreed to the marriage.
He wanted to continue this marriage and said he would marry Li Qingluo back to the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Qingluo found out what he was thinking.
That time, Li Qinglu had a high fever and almost died; it was Zhuang Wei who got her a doctor.
But afterwards he said, "I saved your life only because I didn't want you to die so easily. You have to live, live a long, long life, so that you can suffer the torment of living!"
Zhuang Wei sent a governess under the guise of teaching Li Qingluo manners, but the governess tortured her every day to the point of wishing she were dead.
In this life, Li Qingluo is determined to annul the engagement.
Has he left?
She prepared to go out and take a look, then picked up the new clothes that Zhang Mama had brought her yesterday and put them on.
These past two days, Li Qingluo did not go to pay her respects to Madam Pei, who assumed that she was just suffering from a minor headache and fever.
With the help of Granny Deng to cover it up, Madam Pei did not suspect anything and was still unaware that Li Qingluo had been poisoned.
She also had Granny Zhang come and take a look, and sent over several new outfits that she had made for Li Qingluo.
It's almost autumn, so I only made two sets of summer clothes. There are still three sets of autumn clothes left. I said I'll make the winter clothes in two more months, depending on whether she's gained some weight.
Li Qingluo wore a moon-white long dress with silver thread patterns. Although the fabric was light and simple, one touch revealed that it was definitely a high-quality item.
Luxurious and lightweight, it feels like a cicada's wing when worn, cool and comfortable, and weightless.
Her hair was still simply styled into a thick braid, without any hair accessories.
Although it was somewhat shabby, it was really because the two items that Qu gave her were worse than not wearing them at all.
Despite her simple attire, Cui'er still complimented her, saying, "Miss, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
Li Qingluo felt that her eyesight was probably not very good.
Que'er went to the front yard to scout out the news first. Just as Li Qingluo and Cui'er were about to leave the yard, a black cat suddenly darted out from the corner and pounced straight at the two of them.
"Girl, be careful—"
