Li Qingluo has been curious about this matter for a long time.
So when Mrs. Pei mentioned it, she immediately shook her head and expressed curiosity.
Madam Pei sighed, "Although I've lived in Qingsong Temple for many years, I've been practicing asceticism. What kind of asceticism is that? Grandmother, besides doing some business and occasionally traveling around to see the mountains and rivers, she also often keeps an eye on every move of the General's Mansion."
"Just assume that Grandma has nothing to do, so she is aware of all the actions of this mansion back then."
"Your grandfather fell seriously ill when your father was seventeen years old. He suddenly became seriously ill and became terminally ill."
"I heard that he wanted to see me before he died. Although I was traveling at the time and not at Qingsong Temple at all, Aunt Deng must have been jealous and didn't want me to return home, so she kept the letter hidden."
"Bullshit! They don't understand at all. Even if that letter was delivered to me, even if I knew your grandfather was dying, I wouldn't come back."
"I hate him so much. I'd be happy if he died. I'd feel relieved if he couldn't see me for the rest of his life."
"But they didn't understand, and Aunt Deng understood even less, so she hid a few times. When no news came back from Qingsong Temple, your father got angry and ran to Qingsong Temple to cause trouble for me."
"Won't we be exposed if we go there?"
"Your father came back and had a big argument with Aunt Deng. He said your grandfather was about to die, so why was Aunt Deng still arguing about this?"
"Aunt Deng said she regretted it and I heard she cried her eyes out, but then she turned around and poisoned your father's food."
Li Qingluo was indeed surprised to hear this.
"Why is Aunt Deng so bold? Do you want her two illegitimate sons to inherit the General's Mansion after my grandfather dies?"
Madam Pei tapped Li Qingluo's forehead and said, "You can think of it, but your father can't?"
"Although the poison didn't kill him immediately, he must have been filled with hatred at that moment. When he was young, he regarded Aunt Deng as his own mother, and she was very kind and filial to him."
"After I left, Aunt Deng gave birth to two illegitimate children of her own. Will she continue to pretend?"
"Over time, your foolish father has long seen the truth."
"Unfortunately, it's too late. I can't even find a good marriage."
"Later, your grandfather had no other choice but to marry your father to your mother, who had an ordinary family background and brains."
"Aunt Deng couldn't wait to attack your father. Perhaps she was afraid that my return would ruin her plans. But she was exposed, and she didn't care that your father could still fight back."
"I heard that your father massacred the entire general's mansion and fought to the death, sword in hand, to your grandfather's bedside."
"Later, thanks to your grandfather's old subordinates, we were able to capture Aunt Deng and her family, and also save his life."
"Logically speaking, Aunt Deng shouldn't have survived that time."
"But your second and third uncles pleaded for mercy, and your grandfather was confused before his death, so they simply drove the whole family out of the general's mansion and sent them to the farm."
Li Qingluo sneered after hearing this. "This is retribution for your father. Who made him treat you like that when you were little?"
"But they all live too long!"
Mrs. Pei choked.
"You little kid! If your father hadn't lived long, would you have been born? No matter what, I'm still thankful that he and mother gave birth to you. Otherwise, your life would have been so lonely."
Now with Li Qingluo's company, Mrs. Pei finally felt the taste of family love again.
She also felt the joy and warmth of being a human being. How could she not be grateful that she still had a place in this world?
Just think of them as the grandparents and grandchildren hugging each other for warmth. Anyway, the most important thing in her heart right now is this girl.
"I didn't expect this old fellow to be so dishonest when he went to the manor, and even harmed your father's offspring like this!"
"I see that your biological brother is so obsessed with Li Qingzhu, and she is probably involved!"
"And your own mother is also a stupid and vicious thing! The evil she did is actually repaid by you. Sigh... Being her child in this life, it really makes you suffer."
Madam Pei then asked Li Qingluo, "When do you plan to tell your father about this?"
Li Qingluo: "Will he believe it if I say that?"
Madam Pei shook her head: "If Concubine Lou testifies, and this is about his former concubine, he will probably believe it."
Li Qingluo said, "Grandma, I think there might be another truth to this matter. As for what to do now, I haven't decided yet. Could you give me some advice?"
Mrs. Pei was puzzled, so Li Qingluo told her about the encounter with the fake Chen He in the charity cemetery.
"Luo'er kept it a secret from Grandmother because she thought it was too unbelievable and didn't believe it. But the more Luo'er thought about it, the more she felt it might be true."
"If I really do have a brother who is still alive, who would he be? Did Concubine Zheng give birth to twins? Did the baby boy really die?"
"Auntie Lou said she ran away because she was scared, and then she ran back and saw the Zhao family burying the body."
"Ms. Zhao said they didn't find the baby's body in the lake that night, so they buried only the remains of a cat."
"But what about the baby boy? I haven't heard of any dead creature emerging from the lake in all these years."
"Grandma, Zheng Lingzhou told me so confidently that I have a brother, so the baby boy must really not be dead!"
Moreover, if what the fake Chen He Zheng Lingzhou said was true, the person he was talking about could only be his own nephew.
