Zaina couldn't help but look at Li Qingluo a few more times.
Her sharpness and perspective are indeed different from those of ordinary women.
Zaina simply replied, "If my elder sister wasn't the sect leader, I wouldn't be alive today. I would have been purged and strangled long ago."
"Okay, let's talk about this thread-pulling trick."
"This poison is called Qiansiyin because, besides the thousands of poisonous insects used to refine it, it also has another common trait: all victims of the poison will have a long green line on their arms."
"The most vicious thing about this poison is that young people will not survive past the age of thirty."
"For a man in his prime, starting from the day he was poisoned, he has a lifespan of only seven years at most."
"Furthermore, this poison is only effective against all men in this world, and anyone who is poisoned will never be able to reproduce in their lifetime."
After Zaina finished speaking, the room fell silent.
After a moment, Zhui Yu whispered, "What if... a man who just turned twenty-nine... does that really only have one year left to live?"
Pei Sanlang: "Back then, there was a seventh uncle who was staying at the mansion... He only lived for six months. Just a few days after turning thirty, he suddenly died at home. The cause of his illness could not be determined."
"Also, in the past few years... there really hasn't been a single heir born in the mansion."
So vicious! ?
It not only affects lifespan, but also has a ruthless effect on offspring.
So, doesn’t that mean the Pei family will be extinct?
Li Qingluo couldn't help but look at Pei Sanlang.
Zhuiyu walked over, grabbed his arm and rolled up his sleeve to check.
There was indeed a long blue line on his left arm, extending to where it could not be seen.
Madam Pei couldn't accept this outcome. "Could it be that there's no antidote for this poison? Are the Pei family left with no choice but to accept this unfair fate and allow others to plot against us?"
Li Qingluo: "There must be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have obeyed Sister Zaina so obediently, right?"
Zaina looked at Li Qingluo again.
"You're very clever."
Li Qingluo: "It's not that I'm smart, but there are too many loopholes in your words."
"The poison should be real."
"But you avoided talking about your sister's purpose in doing this, and how you dealt with it."
"Also, my great-granduncle has managed to survive until now, and he will definitely find a way to save the Pei family from extinction."
"It's up to you, whether to say it or not."
The old Duke's somewhat cloudy eyes finally fell on Li Qingluo.
He asked, "Are you Xiuzhen's granddaughter?"
After receiving Madam Pei's permission, Li Qingluo stepped forward to pay her respects: "Luo'er greets my great uncle."
The old Duke nodded to her repeatedly, "He's a good boy, and good-looking too. Has he been promised to her?"
Before Madam Pei could say anything, Prince Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"How many girls do you, the Pei family, intend to harm now?"
This statement has a double meaning and makes people think more.
Both Madam Pei and the old Duke looked at Prince Su.
The old Duke was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qingluo, then at Pei Sanlang, and then shook his head sadly and regretfully.
Alas... Sanlang is not destined to have this fate.
Madam Pei pretended not to understand and quickly asked Duke Pei, "Brother, at this point, aren't you going to explain everything clearly?"
"The Pei family is now deeply sinful. Only if you turn back in time can you be forgiven!"
"Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Su is willing to consider the hard work and contributions of the Pei family's past generations, as well as your own difficulties. Perhaps there is still room for reversal in this matter, and he can show some leniency and give the entire Pei family a chance to survive!"
“Brother!!”
The old Duke did not speak.
Zaina glanced at him, and seeing that he refused to say anything more, she naturally agreed to his wishes.
The two seemed to intend to bury the remaining secrets in the ground so that they would never be known to the world again.
Li Qingluo suddenly asked, "Besides my great-uncle, is there another person with mad blood disease in Jinling City?"
"I wonder if the death of the bloodworm will have any impact on her?"
Zaina looked up at the sound: "What did you say? How is this possible!?"
Li Qingluo: "Don't you know that there's someone like this imprisoned in the Pei family dungeon? Moreover, she's a terrifying woman, with no hair, scars all over her body, and missing teeth."
Zaina rushed over excitedly and grabbed Li Qingluo: "Where is she? How is she now? Is she still alive? Is she——"
Before Li Qingluo could say anything, Madam Pei stepped forward, grabbed Zaina's arm and lifted it up neatly!
"How dare you! What do you want to do?"
Zaina fell to the ground.
She looked up at Pei Sanlang with tears in her eyes.
"Saburo! Is what she said true!?"
"Didn't you say Guli was dead? Now, is the woman with mad blood that she's talking about Guli?"
"You lied to me?"
Pei Sanlang: "The person who came up with this idea was your own sister. I was just following orders."
"Didn't you tell me to obey her in everything and not have to report everything to you?"
Pei Sanlang's voice was filled with cold hatred, as if at this moment, his dead heart had finally found a trace of relief.
When Li Qingluo heard the name "Guli", she already had some guesses in her mind.
"So, her real name is Guli? Who is she?"
Zaina's face was pale, and she was sobbing and excited: "She is the daughter of Pei Lang and me..."
