Qu was heartbroken and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
In her heart, although Li Qingzhu is not her biological child, she is the good daughter she raised with her own hands.
She knew Li Qingzhu's personality very well, so she would definitely not lie to herself.
But she forgot.
Li Qingzhu was even capable of self-immolation, so what was the point of deceiving her gullible adoptive mother?
This was the most severe time that Qu had lost her temper with Li Qingzhu since she was a child.
Of course, she was not frightened, but she felt very aggrieved.
I feel that Qu has really found her biological daughter, so that's why she treats me like this now.
Li Qingzhu looked at Qu Shi with a resentful look: "Mother... if Zhu'er harms my brother, then Zhu'er will not die a good death in this life!"
Qu's heart skipped a beat. "You! Don't try to scare me with such words!"
But in the end, I was shocked. Could it be that Zhu'er really has nothing to do with Chuan'er's broken leg?
"You still won't tell me what happened between you and Prince Yun? Why did he show up at Guanshui Cliff that day? And I saw with my own eyes that you both... Hey! Do you have any sense of shame?!"
Li Qingzhu cried and sobbed, "Mother, I know that I have lost face for you, but I really didn't! If you don't believe me, you can find someone to perform a body test to prove my innocence!"
Qu covered her mouth with her hand: "How dare you say such a thing!? If I really find someone to test you, do you still want to live?"
Li Qingzhu took the opportunity to hug Qu's hand and cried bitterly, looking so pitiful and sympathetic.
"Mother, Zhu'er is truly innocent when it comes to His Highness Prince Yun, so what do you want Zhu'er to say?"
"Didn't Zhu'er tell her mother before that she was kidnapped by bad guys and wanted to sell her. She ran away several times and wanted to go home even though she was covered in wounds?"
"Zhu'er ran away again a few days ago. If it weren't for His Royal Highness Prince Yun saving Zhu'er, I'm afraid Zhu'er would never come back!"
"Mother, after I found out about my brother's situation, I was heartbroken for many days. Now that I think about it, I'm definitely involved!"
"If it weren't for my mistake, I wouldn't have barged into His Highness's house. So it's all Zhu'er's fault that I'm like this!"
"Now I'm really back. This matter has implicated His Royal Highness Prince Yun again."
"Even after His Royal Highness Prince Yun saved Zhu'er, he said that if this matter were known to our General's Mansion, if it were known to the whole world, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain the matter of my brother's broken leg."
"So, to avoid suspicion, His Highness also said that in order to compensate our family, Zhu'er only recuperated in His Highness Prince Yun's house and never actually met His Highness Prince Yun."
"As for why Your Highness went to Guanshui Cliff that day, Zhu'er really didn't know! Besides, the reason Zhu'er hugged Your Highness was because my mother's heart was completely devoted to my sister Luo'er at that time. After Zhu'er was rescued, she sprained her ankle and had to temporarily lean on Your Highness's arms..."
After hearing this, Qu felt that something was wrong.
But she couldn't doubt that Li Qingzhu would lie to her.
So, she just frowned and asked, "So, this is all just a misunderstanding?"
Li Qingzhu nodded, but her heart was beating fast.
It was not until Qu looked at her again and again that Li Qingzhu began to panic.
Now, my mother doesn't even believe her?
Li Qingzhu lowered her head and bit her lip hard, hatred welling up in her heart: It must be because of Liu Cao'er! Now her mother's heart and eyes are filled with only Liu Cao'er, and she really doesn't have this adopted daughter of her anymore!
Li Qingzhu was really sad this time.
She raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face with the handkerchief in her hand: "Mother, if Zhu'er comes back and makes you embarrassed or unhappy, then Zhu'er... Zhu'er might as well go back to the Liu family!"
"Zhu'er shouldn't have had the audacity to stay in the General's Mansion. She committed the grievous mistake of self-immolation out of fear that this day would come..."
"I didn't expect it, it's true... wuwuwu... Mother, Zhu'er would rather die than have you look at her like such a stranger!"
After hearing these words, Qu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. How could she bear it?
She hugged Li Qingzhu in her arms and said, "My son! You are really killing me by saying these words! Do you know that I almost followed you? You finally came back, so don't say these words!"
"Don't go anywhere. Stay by your mother's side and don't let your imagination run wild!"
"I believe your words, isn't it good enough?"
"But you have to promise mother that you will never mention the name Prince Yun again. Do you understand?"
"Especially your brother and father, don't let them know that you are really involved with Prince Yun now!"
Li Qingzhu nodded blankly, looking obedient: "Mom, Zhu'er understands..."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly again.
Qu Shi expressed her longing for her, and Li Qingzhu perfunctorily responded, but in her heart she was thinking: I didn't expect that her mother, who had always been easy to deceive, was becoming increasingly difficult to deceive. Although she had gotten away with it this time, what about next time?
She will never give up on His Highness.
However, the original plan to set fire has now obviously failed, and he has also suffered a loss of one thousand.
When Li Qingzhu thought of this, her heart ached.
Her original plan was to fake her own death in a tragic way, so that her family would worry about her and forget her. She was certain that her "death" would make it impossible for Liu Cao'er to have a good life in the general's mansion.
