Zaina cried out in pain: "I thought she was thinking of her family, but she doesn't deserve it at all!"
"And you, why are you aiding and abetting this evil? Why are you persecuting Guli too? She's your cousin after all!!"
Pei Sanlang, who was already seriously injured, began to vomit blood.
Li Qingluo saw this and quickly walked over: "Alright! Guli is indeed not dead!"
"Moreover, when the dungeon collapsed, His Royal Highness Prince Su and I rescued her from the dungeon together."
"For now, she lives in our Xiuli General's Mansion."
"If you want to see her, I can have someone take her out of the city immediately."
Upon hearing this, Zaina turned around and grabbed Li Qingluo: "Really? She's really not dead? How is she now? Is she... okay..."
Zaina couldn't even bring herself to ask this question.
Li Qingluo: "Her mind is indeed not as normal as it used to be. She can't speak, and she can't walk like a normal person. She walks on all fours like a small animal."
“I have never seen the outside world, the blue sky, white clouds, flowers and butterflies.”
"She has never tasted any of the world's delicacies. She is truly pitiful."
"But other than that, she has no other discomfort."
"Although she would indeed go crazy and lose control when she saw a man, the courtyard where I placed her is now closed to all men. Only a group of maids and servants serve and take care of her."
"I believe she won't encounter any more accidents for the time being."
"By the way, her name now is Butterfly."
Zaina: "Butterfly? What a beautiful name... even better than Guli. From now on, she should be a free-flying butterfly!"
"Besides, it turns out that this is all I need... It can also make her live more freely..."
After saying that, Zaina turned around, knelt down in front of Li Qingluo and kowtowed several times.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you—"
"I owe you a favor, and I can only repay it in the next life."
"If possible, could you please take care of her all the time?"
"Just think of it as... just think of it as pity for her. Although my request is shameful, I have no one to rely on anymore!"
In this world, even her closest sister has used her completely, and even her own flesh and blood are not spared. She really has no one to trust anymore.
After saying this, Zaina didn't wait for Li Qingluo to agree or not. She turned around and glanced at the old Duke, then revealed the last secret in her heart: "It was my sister who threatened Pei Lang to write a book on the Pei family's military strategy. If he didn't, she would destroy the entire Pei family. Then she would not only use intrigue, but also use more vicious methods..."
"Pei Lang had no other choice. To protect the lives of his entire clan, and also for me who had been imprisoned by my sister, he began to write military books whenever he was awake."
"But my sister promised that if the military book is completed, she will give me the antidote for Qiansiyin!"
"Otherwise, even if I kill my sister, the Pei family will be doomed..."
Li Qingluo suddenly remembered what Shi Er Niang said the man who dismembered her body said after her death.
"Although his mind has been tortured over the years and is no longer very useful... it's not completely useless... and he can still be of use to Your Highness..."
Your Highness, who exactly is this Your Highness referring to?
Also, did the Western Region's 'Maitreya Poison' that harmed Twelve Niang come from Princess Qinyu or Zaina's sister?
Could the person who dismembered Twelve Lady be Zaina's sister?
Li Qingluo turned and walked towards Pei Sanlang.
"Who was the person who killed and dismembered Nanjia? Was she Zaina's sister?"
Pei Sanlang looked at Li Qingluo in shock.
"How—how do you know?"
Li Qingluo: "I said it was Nanjia who came to me in my dream. Do you believe it?"
Pei Sanlang: "Miss Li, why did you lie to me?"
Li Qingluo: "I really didn't lie to you. I also know that you were in that dungeon when Nan Jia was dismembered."
Pei Sanlang was completely frozen in place.
He looked at Li Qingluo suspiciously. Why did she know this as if she were there herself?
Could it be that... Twelve Niang's ghost really is still lingering and appeared in her dreams?
He recalled the painful memory and fell to the ground with a dejected look on his face.
Li Qingluo: "Let me ask you, who is that masked man? Do you know who he is?!"
Facing Li Qingluo's aggressiveness, Pei San growled angrily, unwilling to give in: "Yes! It's her!"
"She has been wandering around our Pei Mansion, the Crown Prince's place... and even the Lotus Sect, there are traces of her!"
Li Qingluo looked at Zaina: "So, it was really your sister who gave you to the Lotus Sect. What exactly did she want to do?"
Zaina also shook her head in confusion.
"I, I really don't know... otherwise I wouldn't hide it from you anymore!"
The old Duke slowly woke up and heard these words.
"What she said... is it true?"
"Sanlang, are you really colluding with others to kill a woman from your own tribe...that Twelve Lady?"
Pei Sanlang did not answer, but it was already the cruelest answer at the moment.
Li Qingluo turned and walked into the house again: "Yes, my great uncle. Because Twelve Niang accidentally heard him talking to a masked person, and now knows that it is Zaina's biological sister. They also said that they would kill Pei Yuan to prevent him, a close minister of the emperor, from causing trouble for the Pei family in the future."
"They captured Twelve Lady, chopped off her limbs and head, and drained all her blood to make blood-clotting pills for you to eat."
"Great uncle, you really don't know?"
