Nanny Zhang sighed, "He's still asleep and I can't wake him up. But fortunately, Doctor Du said he's not seriously injured."
Li Qingluo: "Grandma must be very tired, let her have a good sleep. How is your injury? Have Grandma Deng and the others returned?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I am fine."
"Madame Deng and the others were brought back by His Royal Highness Prince Su's guards in the middle of the night. My lady, you were tired yesterday, so we didn't wake you up."
Li Qingluo sat down beside Mrs. Pei's bed.
She reached out and held Madam Pei's hand, her eyes gloomy and sad.
"That's good. But we can't stay here for long. Grandma can't leave without Doctor Du right now. Should we wait until her condition stabilizes before leaving?"
Aunt Zhang: "Young lady, the old lady has entrusted everything to you last night. From now on, you will make all the decisions. You don't need to ask me. No matter what you want to do, I will obey you."
Li Qingluo quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no! Madam, everything that happened last night was a misunderstanding. Return that sign to Grandmother. When Grandmother wakes up, she will still be the head of Tianfeng Trading Company."
"But I'm still far from that. I still need my grandmother's teaching and training, and I need to grow and train."
Aunt Zhang was embarrassed: "But this..."
Li Qingluo: "It's settled."
"If one day I truly have the ability to take over Tianfeng Trading Company, I will definitely accept it without hesitation if Grandmother offers it to me. But right now, I simply am not qualified."
Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "Young lady, you are joking. You are the most talented person I have ever met, besides the old lady. Whether in martial arts or business, you have the grace and elegance of the old lady in her youth."
"Given time, the young lady will surely achieve great success like the old lady did back then!"
"But since you are taking care of the old lady now, I will not force you."
"But there's one thing you can't shirk. You're the future heir to Tianfeng Trading Company, personally chosen by the old lady. Do you acknowledge this?"
Nanny Zhang stared at Li Qingluo with a smile.
Li Qingluo blushed.
She would be a fool not to accept this huge wealth.
Li Qingluo gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! I admit it! From now on, please give me more guidance and advice, Madam."
Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing.
"Girl, that's great! From now on, you will be our young master."
Li Qingluo still felt a little uneasy.
I know how much weight I am now.
It seems that she must grow up faster and be more humble in asking the maids for advice.
After discussing this, Li Qingluo naturally moved on to the most important point: "Mammy, regarding Grandmother's poisoning, do you recall anything unusual?"
Aunt Zhang: "I've been thinking about this all night. I was just thinking, the old lady's small kitchen, whether it's the ingredients or the cooking, is all handled by us, how could it go wrong?"
"Doctor Du also said that the old lady had taken poison some time ago, but when exactly was that? This old servant is...really... Could it be that there is a bad seed among us?"
Li Qingluo: "Don't worry, think about it carefully. Is there anything different from usual these days?"
Nanny Zhang: "If there's anything different, there is one thing. The fresh vegetables and meat that the old lady used to eat were all sent from the farm she owned herself."
"But on the sixth day, the vegetables from the farm were not delivered in time."
"The steward came hurriedly to report that the farm had been robbed and all the chickens, ducks, and fish had been killed overnight. Also, a large amount of the vegetables had been destroyed."
"There's nothing we can do. Starting from the seventh day of the first lunar month, we can only send a very small amount to the manor... Could something have gone wrong at the farm?"
Li Qingluo: "What about you guys? Where have you and I at Hongfeng Pavilion been eating vegetables and meat recently?"
Aunt Zhang: "It was sent from the Li family farm!"
Li family?
Is this the farm where Aunt Deng lived before?
That farm provides vegetables and meat for the entire general's mansion, so if everyone eats the same thing, there might not be any problem.
But the problem is that grandma eats different food from them.
"Mammy, check!"
"We must find out what's going on as soon as possible!"
"If I ever find out who dared to murder my grandmother, I'll make him pay with blood!"
Li Qingluo knew that this matter must be related to Li Chaojing and Qu family!
They were clearly prepared that night to drag my grandmother to death.
If she said it had nothing to do with them, she would never believe it even if it cost her own life!
General's Mansion.
After leaving the court, Li Chaojing immediately asked the steward of the mansion whether he had found any trace of Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei.
The answer he got was naturally disappointing to him.
He was very angry and punished all the servants who did not perform their duties well.
"Not only are the people not found, but several others are missing. What are you doing for a living?"
"I can't even find a teenage girl and an old woman on the verge of death. I support a bunch of useless people like you, but you're worse than those old women, right?!"
The housekeeper came forward tremblingly: "Master, please calm down..."
Li Chaojing: "Go and call my wife!"
The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Madam, Madam went back to her parents' home early..."
Li Chaojing heard this and was filled with impatience: "Idiot, what are you going back for? All these messes in the mansion are caused by her, and she still doesn't know how to reflect on it!?"
