Chapter 164 The midwife was severely punished



After several days of turmoil, the Li family finally escaped from the turmoil that destroyed their reputation.

Everyone in the room was trembling with fear and still didn't dare to go out.

Li Chaojing came back after attending court for two days. Although his face was still very ugly every day, he did not lose his temper or look for trouble. Li Qingluo knew that revealing the truth about Li Qingzhu's life experience and expelling her from the general's mansion did help the Li family temporarily struggle out of the quagmire.

But, I just can’t wash my body clean no matter what I do.

Li Qingluo was very satisfied with the result.

It's snowing again.

This snow made Li Qingluo feel very familiar.

She stood under the eaves of the Red Maple Pavilion, looking at the snow-covered scene, and recalled that at this time in her previous life, she had been locked up in a dilapidated house next to the stable by Li Kechuan because of a broken teacup.

In this life, Li Qingzhu will never come back.

And I will live beyond today, and from now on, I will live a long and healthy life until I die.

Nanny Deng said that Li Yunchu was missing.

Li Qingluo: "What do you mean by disappeared?"

Matron Deng lowered her head in shame. "The two maids who took care of her died at the door of the inn. And she... disappeared without a trace."

Li Qingluo: "Was she abducted, or did she leave on her own?"

Aunt Deng shook her head: "I can't be sure."

Li Qingluo's expression was solemn. "Whichever it is, doesn't it mean that she is indeed, as I suspected, not ordinary people behind her?"

Aunt Deng agreed: "If Li Yunchu lets the tiger go back to the mountain, then we must take precautions early!"

Li Qingluo: "Let's keep a closer eye on Aunt Deng."

Aunt Deng: "Don't worry, young lady. I have sent someone to follow her closely. She can't fly out of Baiyi Nunnery even if she has wings."

After what happened to Li Yunchu, Nanny Deng naturally became even more concerned.

In the afternoon, news came from the Jinling government office that all the members of the Liu family, except Zhao, had been released.

"Miss, it seems that Prince Yun has intervened in this matter..."

Li Qingluo: "Liu Qingzhu will naturally ask Prince Yun to help her rescue her relatives. I guessed this would be the result a long time ago."

Therefore, she sent these people in jail, not only to cause trouble for Liu Qingzhu, but also to make those people in the Liu family suffer in prison.

She also knew that they would not be imprisoned for too long, so Li Qingluo was not disappointed when she heard the news.

Aunt Deng sighed, "Then those who bullied the girl will benefit from it?"

Li Qingluo: "They've been following Liu Qingzhu, hoping for a smooth ride to a better life. They've been dreaming for years, but it won't be that easy. Don't worry, just wait and see."

"By the way, what about Zhao?"

Aunt Deng: "I heard he was severely tortured and might not survive."

"She admitted it in front of the general's mansion in front of the people. It was she who was bewitched and switched the identities of the girl and her granddaughter, which caused all the suffering the girl endured. How can she deny it now that she's in prison?"

Li Qingluo: "A vicious woman like her who confessed her guilt in front of the whole world, even if she is killed as a warning to others, it would be a good thing for her to die like this."

"What's more, all the prominent families in Jinling City are watching this matter now."

"Prince Yun naturally couldn't risk rescuing her."

Li Qingluo asked Que'er to bring some silver.

Then he put on a fur cloak himself.

Seeing this, Aunt Deng was terrified and asked in surprise, "Miss, where are you going? It's snowing outside!"

Li Qingluo took the silver and put it in his pocket.

"I'm going to see Zhao. Mammy, please accompany me."

Madam Deng said, "But it's already three quarters past three in the afternoon, and dusk is approaching. Why don't you wait until tomorrow? I'll let this old servant make the arrangements first."

Li Qingluo looked at the heavy snow falling quietly outside and said, "I'm afraid I can't wait any longer."

The deep meaning in her words shocked even Aunt Deng.

What the girl meant...is she afraid that Zhao won't survive tonight?

Li Qingluo only brought Nanny Deng with him. The two of them harnessed up their carriage and went to the prison outside the Jinling City government office.

Nanny Deng took the silver and picked up a steward on the way. Now the two of them were negotiating at the prison gate.

Li Qingluo lifted the curtain and looked over there, waiting quietly.

Night had already fallen, but the snow still illuminated the sky and earth.

Li Qingluo blew hot air into his palms.

She suddenly recalled that at this time in her previous life, she was in that drafty little room, begging the servants in the general's mansion to give her a bed and bedding.

In her previous life, she lost all her dignity.

In this life, she no longer longed for family affection, but unexpectedly received a bit of pity from her grandmother.

Now, she was wrapped in the fur given to her by her grandmother, holding the heater in her hands, and her whole body was warm.

Has the anger in your heart subsided?

No, she has not yet taken revenge on all those who bullied her in her previous life.

How can we say it's over?

Aunt Deng came over and said, "Young lady, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. We need to go inside and make some arrangements."

Li Qingluo handed the heater in her hand to Nanny Deng.

"You've worked hard. It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just wait patiently."

Nanny Deng refused to have the stove heater no matter what. As the two of them were making excuses, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind them.

Nanny Deng immediately closed the carriage window and looked nervously at the group of fast horses coming in the wind and snow.

There were three people in the group, all wearing black fur cloaks. When Nanny Deng lifted the veil, she could see clearly that it was actually His Royal Highness Prince Su?
