"Forget it, forget it. I've already said so much to you. Why not continue?"
Doctor Luo continued, "After my master and I left the village overnight, we unexpectedly ran into Nangong Di on the road, who was looking for his missing fellow apprentice."
"Luo'er, this is when your master and I first met, so our friendship has lasted for over thirty years."
"At that time, we suspected that your master's junior fellow apprentice, oh, the person you should call uncle master in the future, was also deceived and taken to that village, so we accompanied Nangong Di back again."
"When I returned this time, I found that all the people with mad blood disease in the village had been killed."
Li Qingluo was shocked: "The whole village was massacred? Could it be my uncle?"
Nangong Di: "You guessed it right, it's your uncle. He couldn't stand the filthiness of this village, so he killed all the troublemakers with one knife."
"But I found him later, and he said the witch ran away with the worm."
Li Qingluo: "I see. So Master also knows about mad blood disease."
Madam Pei said, "Zaina must have returned to the Western Regions. She had that worm with her. My brother got sick later, so it must have been her fault!"
"And didn't Pei Bu say that my brother always has his own doctor by his side? This doctor must be Zaina."
"But this time, such a big thing happened in Pei Guogong Mansion, but she was nowhere to be seen. I heard that Pei Sanlang only took my brother away, so where did Zaina go?"
Li Qingluo thought of Pan Li.
Ask her, maybe there will be clues about this Zaina.
Li Qingluo thought of the butterfly again.
Butterfly's age doesn't match, so she's not Zaina.
But who could the butterfly be?
Li Qingluo was still worried that Butterfly would suddenly fall ill, so he stood up and hurriedly said goodbye to the three elders and quickly returned to Zizaiju.
Fortunately, Butterfly did not get sick.
Li Qingluo was considering whether to put handcuffs on Butterfly.
But what's the difference between this and imprisoning her in a dungeon?
"Forget it, let's lock her up in the room for the next few days. Wait for ten days or half a month, and then we'll see if she doesn't get sick."
Li Qingluo immediately gave the order, and Que'er did not dare to neglect the matter and hurried down to do it.
Fortunately, after we brought Butterfly a bunch of interesting and strange things that she had never seen before, she stopped making a fuss and went into the room obediently.
Li Qingluo was busy all day.
By the evening, Prince Su's big shoes had been washed clean by her own hands and hung under the windowsill to dry.
The moonlight shines on the shoe surface, making the satin glow with a faint moon-white luster.
Li Qingluo held his chin and stared at the shoes in a daze.
Suddenly, Que'er knocked on the door and poked its head in.
"Miss, do you still want to continue listening to the story I didn't finish telling you during the day?"
"You key is not listening, and the servant has not finished talking. I can't sleep at all."
Li Qingluo never asked servants to keep watch by his bedside.
She was used to and preferred having her room all to herself at night.
But tonight, there might be an exception.
Li Qingluo: "Why don't you come in?"
Li Qingluo lay on the bed and let Que'er get into his quilt.
The two of them lay side by side, and Que'er couldn't wait to continue talking about what happened during the day.
"Miss, did this servant mention that Wu Da was the only servant who was not beaten to death after being imprisoned?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes. And then?"
Que'er chuckled and said, "Then, yesterday, I heard that Madam went back to her parents' home."
"Young lady, you don't know that before the old lady and you came back, because the lady was not capable enough to manage the household, she always asked the old lady Qu, your grandmother Youshi, to come and help with the affairs of the harem from time to time."
Li Qingluo: "How foolish! This is how the Qu family got their hands on the General's Mansion."
Que'er: "Isn't it? I heard that Yu Shi used to act so arrogantly in the General's Mansion, she really thought she was the old lady of the mansion."
"But she didn't dare come after our own old lady came back, especially after she was humiliated during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She didn't dare to make trouble again."
"This time, the eldest son of the family has encountered such an incident, and the master is away with no one to take charge of the situation. Who would have thought that the lady would run back to her parents' home to ask her mother for advice?"
"But this time, Madam didn't end up well when she returned to the Qu family."
"I heard that Madam He from the main house of the Qu family heard her coming and called her over to the main house. Then she returned to the general's mansion dejectedly with five red fingerprints on her face."
