Li Qingluo was helped down from the carriage. She looked up at the house before her and heard Nanny Deng say, "This is the house that the old lady had given to him by His Majesty after she single-handedly won a victory against an impossible odds and returned to Jinling."
It does not belong to the Li family, nor to the Pei family, but exclusively to Mrs. Pei Xiuzhen. It is a mansion given by the current emperor.
Only Mrs. Pei would be so careless as to leave such an honor vacant for decades.
Two maids stepped forward and pulled down the dusty and ashy curtain. On the black plaque were written a few large golden characters: General Xiuli's Mansion.
Madam Pei turned around and said, "Luo'er, come here."
Li Qingluo quickly walked up to Madam Pei and looked at the house in front of them with her grandmother.
"Good boy, from now on, this will be our home as grandparents and grandchildren."
"Come on, let's go in and take a look with grandma."
Although the house has been vacant, it was given by the royal family after all, so Madam Pei has had people guarding it all these years.
Knowing we were going to move in a few days ago, Aunt Zhang had already arranged for someone to come and clean the place inside and out.
Except for the plaque, everything else was already spotless.
Not only that, things were being added to it day and night.
At this moment, everyone in the yard was kneeling on the ground, welcoming the return of Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei.
"The servants and maids pay their respects to the old lady and the young lady."
Mrs. Pei took Li Qingluo to visit the new home.
This new house is really great in every way.
Although it is not as big as the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane, from now on, it will be home to only the two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, so it is more than enough and even a little spacious.
There are also pavilions, towers, bridges, lakes, bamboo forests and gardens.
Although the yards are not very big, each one is extremely exquisite.
In order to make Li Qingluo live more comfortably, Mrs. Pei let her choose a courtyard and then ordered people to open up the courtyard next door, leaving only an archway.
Then the yard next door was designated as a special place for Li Qingluo to study and practice martial arts from now on. This side was Li Qingluo's private bedroom, and no outside men were allowed to enter from then on.
Including Nangong Di, the master that Li Qingluo is about to formally become.
Old Madam Pei also personally named Li Qingluo's new courtyard: Zizai Ju.
"Luo'er, Grandmother hopes that you can live a life of freedom and at ease, free from all the worries and troubles of the world, and free from being bound by anyone."
"Grandma's Luo'er, you must be the most comfortable girl in the world."
Li Qingluo hugged her grandmother tightly, feeling extremely moved.
"Grandma, Luo'er will live here with you forever."
Madam Pei laughed: "Silly child. You won't get married? If you don't get married, how can Grandma hold her little great-grandson?"
"But grandma, don't be in a hurry. You still have a few years to spend with grandma. Even if you get married in the future, this will always be your home."
"Just remember, wherever Grandmother is, that will always be your shelter from the wind and rain."
Li Qingluo said seriously, "Grandma! How about Luo'er finding a live-in son-in-law? That way, Luo'er can stay with you forever."
Mrs. Pei laughed out loud: "Grandma, it seems feasible."
However, the extremely beautiful and handsome face of Prince Su suddenly flashed through her mind.
Mrs. Pei: Ha, bah, bad luck.
After Madam Pei returned to her main courtyard, she called Aunt Zhang over and asked, "Do you know what Luo'er has been doing lately?"
Aunt Zhang was startled. "Didn't you stop caring about what the young lady does now? Why are you suddenly asking about it again? Are you still worried about the young lady's work?"
Madam Pei sighed: "Although I escaped death this time, I know that I have suffered some losses. Shouldn't I make more plans for her?"
"Did she do anything to Li Chaojing?"
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She came over and sat down at Madam Pei's feet. "Madam, please don't overthink it. The young lady really hasn't done anything. She just ruined the marriage between the Cui family and the General's Mansion these past few days."
Madam Pei’s eyes widened.
It's ruined, that's all?
When did Aunt Zhang become so arrogant?
Did she know that this marriage with the Cui family was the last hope for that rebellious son Li Chaojing?
Facing the questioning look in Mrs. Pei's eyes, Aunt Zhang laughed and then told the whole story of what happened at Qingsong Temple that day.
Madam Pei: "You only said you were ambushed by the Lotus Cult, but you didn't mention that you went to the Taoist temple to disrupt the Cui and Li families' marriage. I see...and the Liu family's affairs are also involved."
Nanny Zhang looked at Madam Pei nervously, "Madam, please don't worry. When the young lady first saw you, she almost...she was really furious. That night, she drew her sword and was ready to fight the entire General's Mansion. She was determined to get you out of the General's Mansion at the risk of her life."
"Otherwise... you would have been dragged to death by that heartless person!"
When Nanny Zhang thought about what happened that night, she became even more agitated.
Madam Pei: "Am I anxious or are you anxious?"
"I know Luo'er is determined to avenge me this time, and she's got both new and old grudges... I'm afraid she won't give up until she's dead with her beastly parents and that brother."
Aunt Zhang: "So what do you mean...?"
Madam Pei: "Can I let her kill her father and mother?"
