Li Qingluo: "But Grandmother, you also said that she is not a direct descendant of our General's Mansion!"
Madam Pei paused: "What do you mean by that?"
Li Qingluo then spoke, "Grandmother, if Li Qingzhu died in the General's Mansion, to put it nicely, it would be suicide out of fear of punishment. To put it bluntly... could it be considered that we forced her to death?"
"If the Liu family spreads this news, will our General's Mansion be implicated?"
Madam Pei sneered, "How dare the Liu family! Back then, the General's Mansion didn't bother with the child exchange incident because of your foolish parents. Do they dare to come to Jinling City and cause trouble?"
Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, if the itinerary went as planned, the whole family should have arrived in Jinling in the next two days."
Madam Pei’s eyes widened instantly.
"It's... you?"
Li Qingluo nodded slowly: "Yes. My granddaughter secretly sent people to lure them to Jinling City."
Li Qingluo did not hide anything from Mrs. Pei and told her everything he was thinking.
"If Li Qingzhu wants to be Prince Yun's favorite concubine, then let her do it. What rises high must fall hard, and what reaches its peak must decline."
"Even if she gets her wish and goes to Queen Yun's house, she will only be a concubine. No matter how favored she is, she will only be a concubine in the future."
"She has lost the support of the General's Mansion, and her future is hopeless."
"Whatever she wants in her heart, she will never get in this life."
"Moreover, Prince Yun is greedy and frivolous. Although he is cunning, his talent is shallow. He is conceited and arrogant. Although he holds a high position, he is far too mediocre compared to the other princes."
"My granddaughter is betting that he won't achieve anything great. I'm betting that Li Qingzhu will lose everything!"
In her previous life, she fell into Li Qingzhu's plan because of her ambition.
Li Qingluo’s death in the previous life was so insignificant.
He can't even become a stepping stone for Li Qingzhu.
So in this life, how could Li Qingzhu die so easily and be free?
Li Qingluo wanted her to watch helplessly how she, after gambled everything and gained everything, went step by step towards her own destruction.
Only by living can one live a life worse than death.
Only by staying alive can Li Qingluo's revenge be more satisfying!
Therefore, Li Qingluo had no intention of letting Li Qingzhu die now.
Madam Pei: "But what if you lose the bet? Luo'er, if Prince Yun comes..."
Li Qingluo: "Grandma, if I really lose, I will admit it."
Besides, Li Qingluo didn't think that Prince Yun would ascend to a high position in the future.
There is also a Prince Su in this world!
For some reason, she felt that if Prince Su was around, Prince Yun would never be able to make any waves, let alone reach that position.
Of course, if all this is lost, if Li Qingzhu can really turn the tide, she will accept her fate.
Even willing to die.
Madam Pei: "But as for the Liu family, are you so sure that they dare to cause trouble?"
"After all, if they dare to come again, I will not forgive them for the crime of swapping girls!"
"And your father, I see he's itching to kill his adopted daughter tonight. If you spare Li Qingzhu, how could he let it go?"
Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, if the Liu family goes to Nanjing, the worst that can happen is that old woman's life. If they insist that it was all done by old woman Liu who swapped daughters, and that they were completely unaware of it, then the whole family can be exonerated."
"But what she got was the status of a prince's concubine. This also fulfilled the Liu family's purpose of exchanging daughters. They were so bold back then, wasn't it just for the opportunity to one day ascend to heaven and enjoy wealth and glory for the whole family?"
"If they knew that Li Qingzhu had hooked up with Prince Yun, they would cling to her like leeches and never let go."
"And no matter how reluctant Li Qingzhu was in the past, she now has only two choices: one is to commit suicide out of fear of punishment in the General's Mansion. The other is to return to the Liu family and still have a chance to go to Prince Yun's Mansion alive."
"Grandma, what do you think she will decide?"
Li Qingzhu would definitely choose to live and then go to Prince Yun's mansion to be a concubine.
She had no other chance of survival.
Li Qingluo continued, "As for my father, he's a man who values the family's reputation. Now that Li Qingzhu has been stripped of her status as the eldest daughter of the Li family, the family can publicly announce the truth about the daughter swap. Li Qingzhu will no longer be considered a member of the Li family. With this separation, the reputation of the General's Mansion will naturally be restored to some extent."
"This way, we'll avoid the Liu family's entanglement and sever ties with Li Qingzhu. He won't disagree."
She believed that her biological father would understand which one was the best choice for the General's Mansion.
Besides, whether Li Qingzhu is dead or alive, it is a troublesome matter for him.
Seeing Li Qingluo's resolute attitude, Mrs. Pei could only sigh.
"You! You look calm and composed, but in reality, you have more thoughts than a fox, and your opinions are bigger than the sky!"
"But Luo'er, you are so sensitive and thoughtful... What kind of suffering have you endured? How wronged are you that you would plot all this?"
Li Qingluo pursed her lips nervously and looked at Old Madam Pei: "Grandmother, do you think Luo'er is sinister and terrifying?"
