Chapter 152 The Real Heiress is Ruthless and Crazy
Li Yunchu: "About five years ago."
Li Qingluo realized: "Five years ago, Aunt Deng also started seeing Li Qingzhu around that time. So, you two recognized each other five years ago too!?"
The fact that she had so easily picked up on the information made Aunt Deng and her daughter Li Yunchu look rather grim.
Li Qingluo, the true legitimate daughter, is the one they overlook the most.
She seemed to speak very little, yet she seemed to be everywhere.
These people all seem to care about her, but no one can really touch her.
Li Yunchu, in particular, is now somewhat wary of Li Qingluo.
Last time, she and Zhu'er were tied up at the same time. If it weren't for Li Qingluo, they wouldn't have suffered so much!
When Li Yunchu learned the truth from Zhu'er, she was greatly surprised!
Logically speaking, Li Qingluo was her blood-related niece, but she felt a deep-seated fear of Li Qingluo.
This woman managed to escape unharmed from the Lotus Sect, and it's said that she actually survived a fall off a cliff!
Her life is truly more fortunate than mine!
Li Qingluo: "But you clearly disappeared eight years ago. So, where did you go for those three years?"
"Last time, the three of us—you, Li Qingzhu, and I—were captured by the Lotus Sect. Li Qingzhu and I survived, and so did you. But how did you survive?"
"Furthermore, where have you been these past few days? How were you able to rescue Li Qingzhu so quietly, without any of the masters of the General's Mansion noticing you?"
Li Qingluo posed several questions in succession, leaving everyone puzzled.
Li Yunchu did not answer.
She just bit her lip tightly.
Li Qingluo turned to Madam Pei and bowed, saying, "Grandmother, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds."
Madam Pei was pleased that Li Qingluo was willing to take charge, instead of standing by and watching coldly as before, completely uninvolved.
She naturally had the intention and purpose to cultivate Luo'er.
After all, who can he entrust his Tianfeng Trading Company to in the future?
When Li Chaojing saw that his own daughter had suddenly become interested in this matter, his heart stirred slightly.
Especially when he saw the bruises on Li Qingluo's face from when he hit her, he felt a rare pang of guilt.
"In that case, how about we leave this shrew to Luo'er to deal with?"
Li Qingluo merely nodded indifferently at Li Chaojing's overtures.
Li Chaojing felt quite uneasy...
He knew that his own daughter had absolutely no feelings for him or the Qu family.
And at first, I felt that her return was neither important nor unnecessary.
He later admitted that it was all just a matter of taking advantage of him.
Now, a strange emotion is gradually rising in my heart...
Li Qingluo walked over: "My methods are indeed not as experienced and steady as my grandmother's. But I will be very direct—"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, as if some sharp weapon had slashed through!
For some reason, Li Yunchu's high bun suddenly came undone, and a handful of hair fell into Li Qingluo's palm.
As she unfolded, strands of hair slipped down.
Li Yunchu screamed in shock: "Ah!!! I'm your own aunt! How dare you touch my hair? You want to kill me?!"
Aunt Deng couldn't help but shout sternly, "Our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, how dare you!?"
Li Qinglu sneered: "Why wouldn't I dare? I can take someone's life without hesitation. Do you believe me?"
Li Yunchu looked at her own black hair on the ground and swallowed hard.
She recalled the brat's reactions when she was kidnapped by the Lotus Sect; she did seem to be fearless.
"This is outrageous! Nobody in this family dares to discipline you?"
Li Chaoan glared fiercely at Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo: "That's right. Apart from my grandmother, no one dares to control me. Why don't you give it a try, Third Uncle?"
She narrowed her eyes, and without any hesitation, revealed the dagger that had just cut Li Yunchu's hair from her sleeve, then casually played with it.
This really startled everyone!
"Who do you think you are, a daughter of a noble family?! Other noble ladies embroider with needles and write with pens, but you, you actually threaten your own family with a knife!"
The speaker was the third wife, Madam Tan.
Li Qingyu tugged at her mother's sleeve, but was pushed away by Madam Tan with a stern face.
Why are you afraid of her?
Li Qingyu gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "That day, she dared to shoot the third young master of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion out of the Red Maple Pavilion with a bow and arrow, and even dared to kill my eldest brother. What are we compared to her! Mother! Don't be confused!"
Li Qingyu only dared to speak up because she saw Li Qingya holding onto her parents.
Do you want to end up like your aunt, all disheveled?
Looking at Li Yunchu's miserable state, Madam Tan thought that if she had to suffer such humiliation, she would rather be dead.
Tan's expression changed, but Li Qingluo looked at her at that moment.
This startled Mrs. Tan.
Li Qingluo: "Third Aunt, since you're so protective of her, do you know something about her?"
Tan didn't even dare to meet Li Qingluo's eyes.
"I...I don't know anything. You...you're accusing me..."
If they get involved in today's events, at best they'll be sent back to the manor, and at worst they could be beaten or killed.
She dared not speak recklessly again!
Li Qinglu rolled her eyes at her: "So you're drinking three, four, or five cups here, trying to put on airs and embarrass me?"
Suddenly, everyone was staring at Tan. She steeled herself and said, "What I said, isn't it the truth?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes. I am indeed not a daughter of a noble family, nor a noblewoman. Doesn't Third Aunt know that I have only been back in the General's Mansion for a little over five months?"
"How could you possibly raise a pampered young lady in just five months? Ridiculous!"
"Third Aunt, you haven't seen enough of the world. Why don't I show you today the unruly and barbaric behavior of someone from the countryside like me!"
After saying that, Li Qingluo turned around and came behind Aunt Deng. She grabbed Aunt Deng's hair and reached out to cut off all of Aunt Deng's hair.
"You old scoundrel! When you were young, you pretended to be gentle and kind, acting innocent and virtuous, and stole my father to be your son! You caused my grandmother so much heartache that she ran away from home and stayed away from the world for many years!"
"You're quite something, with a house full of children and grandchildren, and now you dare to come and show off in front of my grandmother!"
"Of the women you've raised, I don't think many are any good! Since that's the case, you're just an old concubine, a servant in the house. Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
"If your daughter still refuses to confess honestly, I'll cut off your hair for your grandmother's sake, and you can spend the rest of your life worshipping Buddha!"
After saying that, Li Qingluo raised her hand and brought down her knife. Amidst gasps of surprise, her black hair mixed with white fell down like a waterfall!
Even Madam Pei was surprised and stood up!
Li Chaojing's eyes widened, while Madam Qu covered her mouth.
The people from the second and third houses all screamed in horror, "No—!"
After cutting off Aunt Deng's hair, Li Qingluo turned to look at Madam Tan and Li Chaoan, and smiled.
“If my grandmother hadn’t raised me for five months, I would have cut off more than just this lock of hair today.”
"As you all know, when I was in the mountains, I also hunted rabbits, caught sparrows, and killed animals."
"Killing chickens and sheep is second nature to them. The knife goes in white, the knife comes out red—do you know how distinctive the cries of those on the verge of death are?"
"Ah!!" The young boys and girls were so frightened that they hid in the arms of the adults.
Li Qingya and Li Qingyu's expressions changed drastically.
Needless to say, Madam Tan was trembling all over when the old nanny beside her helped her up, preventing her legs from giving way.
Li Chaoan swallowed hard, exclaiming, "She...she's a madwoman!"
He's not crazy, but the things he does are crazy enough!
Everyone thinks that way now.
This quiet and unassuming girl, Li's biological daughter, is the one who resembles the old lady the most!
Decisive and ruthless in killing!
When Li Qingluo looked at Li Yunchu again, her gaze remained calm.
However, Li Yunchu was already quite afraid of her.
She hugged her mother tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mother, I'm sorry... I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a temple, living a lonely and miserable life..."
"I will tell you!"
Aunt Deng screamed, clutching her head and frantically searching for her hair on the floor, then frantically tried to reattach it to her head.
Li Chaohuai couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he rushed over and helped Aunt Deng up.
"Mother!"
"Li Qingluo! You wretched child! This is still my own mother, and you have humiliated her like this today. I will not forgive you—"
Li Chaohuai got up and lunged at Li Qingluo, but at a glance from Madam Pei, several skilled maids rushed forward and restrained Li Chaohuai.
"father!"
"master!"
The children from the second wife all screamed in panic.
"Second sister, please don't do that to my father..."
Li Qingya shook her head vigorously at Li Qingluo, her eyes pleading.
Li Qingluo didn't even glance at her.
She simply walked around Li Chaohuai twice.
Then, staring at him, she sneered, "You're quite filial, still calling her 'Mother.' But Second Uncle, do you know that the more you act this way, the worse her fate will be?"
"Just a concubine! How dare you make your son your son! Is this the good upbringing and good manners of your second and third wives?!"
Madam Pei nodded silently from behind, and Zhang Mama whispered in her ear with tears in her eyes, "Young lady, you really have spirit. Today, I've finally given you a chance to vent your anger."
Madam Pei smiled and said, "What's so special about this? But she did a good job."
The proverb "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" means that the speaker knew to kill the most intimidating chicken.
Now, the people from the second and third branches of the family are no longer behaving themselves in front of her?
The people from the second and third branches were indeed inwardly roaring with rage: Where did she get the audacity to act like this?!
What an amazing woman!
All I said was that she had no manners or upbringing, that she wasn't a noble lady or a daughter of a prestigious family, and she went on a rampage like this, trying to deal with them!
Now, none of the people from the second and third branches dared to speak recklessly or provoke her anymore!
Li Chaojing's forehead was covered in sweat.
His daughter's behavior is indeed very much like his mother's... leaving him somewhat at a loss.
However, as her father, he should also stand up and say a few words in her defense.
However, Li Chaojing had only just lifted one foot and hadn't even put it on the ground when Li Qingluo spoke again: "Who else is dissatisfied? I, Li Qingluo, will deal with them all today."
