"But didn't you just say it, brother? It was definitely Li Qingluo who set us up this time!"
Qu: "Then what do you want to do with Luo'er?!"
"Am I just going to let Chuan Er scheme against me and lose my reputation and innocence?!"
"If you hadn't run away, or if you had taken your brother with you, or if you had risked your life to save Chuan'er, your brother wouldn't have been so badly implicated by you today!"
"Zhu'er, we've forgiven you and accepted you time and time again, but in the end, this is how you repay us!? You really disappoint me!"
Liu Qingzhu was unable to accept Qu's angry rebuke for a while.
"It turns out that my mother has long been partial to Li Qingluo... I thought I was the most important daughter in her heart..."
Qu's face turned completely cold. "Yes. In the past, I truly regarded you as my sweetheart, the apple of my eye. Even my own daughter, Luo'er, had to give way to you."
"But Zhu'er, do you really think I'm a fool?"
"You set yourself on fire, faked your own death, burned down so many houses in the general's mansion, and killed so many servants. Do we really not know how vicious you are?"
"You did all this just for Prince Yun, even sacrificing the reputation and innocence of all the girls in your family to have an affair with someone else. Do you really think that I, your mother, am completely blind and can't see it?"
"On Guanshui Cliff, I chose you to abandon Luo'er, causing her to fall off the cliff and walk back alone on the mountain road."
"At first, I didn't know the truth and thought you really set yourself on fire because you were afraid of being ignored by your family. I felt so hurt and resentful that I watched Chuan'er torture and humiliate Luo'er again and again. I wanted Chuan'er to vent his anger for you so that I could feel better. Do you know that?"
"I really can't let you go. After all, I raised you myself. Even though Luo'er was born from my belly, and even though Luo'er suffered so much for you in the Liu family, I always felt that you were not wrong and that you were innocent."
"But what about you? You play with us time and time again, treating us like fools!"
"I can forgive you and accept you time and time again, but you should never, ever hurt your brother who loves you the most again!"
"I only have this one son!"
"Look at what he has become now?"
"Broken legs, lost will, and now even... even the leftovers can't be contained!"
"Who is responsible for all this? Isn't everything about you?"
"Zhu'er, you clearly know how your brother feels about you, right?"
"But you only regard our General's Mansion as a stepping stone to your rise to prominence!"
"Liu Qingzhu, I'm not really stupid. I just gave in time and time again because I love you. But in the end, you treated us like this... Haha, ah ha ha ha..."
Qu raised her head, and all the bitterness in her heart turned into tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
Liu Qingzhu was filled with horror.
Only then did she realize that she had exhausted the love of her mother and brother.
She should flee from here quickly...
Just as she was stepping back and trying to escape, Li Kechuan discovered her intention.
"Catch her!"
Liu Qingzhu struggled and shouted, "What are you going to do?"
"Since mother and brother no longer care for Zhu'er, let her go!"
“Mother—Ah!!”
Liu Qingzhu was roughly pressed against the pillar. She screamed and struggled, but Qu seemed to have lost sight of her.
Her heart is too tired.
She raised her head and looked at Li Kechuan calmly: "What do you want to do with her? Kick her out of the General's Mansion, or let her go back to the Liu family? Chuan'er, mother doesn't want to take care of her anymore. You can do whatever you want."
"As long as you can feel a little better... My son, you are all I have now!"
"Look at your father now, what hope can I have?"
"You have to do your best and don't let it get you down. Do you hear me?"
What Qu feared most was that Li Kechuan would not be able to get out of the shadow of this incident.
Originally, she thought that Liu Qingzhu's return could help Li Kechuan get over it. After all, Chuan'er loved Liu Qingzhu the most. As long as Liu Qingzhu was willing to coax her brother with all her heart, Chuan'er might really be able to let go of the shadow of this time.
But Qu never expected that this matter was really related to Luo'er!
Whenever Qu thought of Li Qingluo, her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
The more I think about it, the more unbearable the twitching becomes.
What on earth had happened that had led them and Luo'er to this point?
Even I can’t explain it clearly…
But what’s the use of regretting so much?
But in all these things, Zhu'er is the one who bears the brunt of the blame!
If it weren't for her, they and Luo'er would never be like this now, treating each other like enemies!
Chuan'er hates her so much!
But at least hatred is better than a dead heart.
At least there's someone to hate.
Qu didn't look at Liu Qingzhu and let Li Kechuan be carried over. Then he pinched Liu Qingzhu's face.
"Zhu'er, now that you're back, please take good care of your brother until the day I recover!"
"Take her to Lancang Courtyard!"
