This matter was also ordered to be kept secret from Li Qingluo throughout the entire mansion.
She really didn't expect that her son, who was worse than a beast, had obtained his military merits and the position of general in such an ignominious way!
Not to mention his Li family, even General Xiu Li himself, who is still alive, feels ashamed!
Li Qingluo's eyes turned red when she saw Mrs. Pei looking so sad.
"Grandma, I'm an unfilial granddaughter, causing you to worry about everything for Luo'er. But this matter..."
Li Qingluo was just about to persuade her grandmother to be patient for a few more days when news came from the front yard that someone had come to help on the orders of the master of Guiyuan.
Li Qingluo: "Someone from Guiyuan?"
Isn’t that the one sent by Prince Su?
Li Qingluo asked someone to come in quickly. The man was a middle-aged man she didn't recognize. When he saw her, he immediately stepped forward to greet her: "My name is Dong Siyuan. Nice to meet Madam Pei and Miss Li."
Li Qingluo: "Sir, please stand up quickly. I wonder if you are..."
Dong Siyuan: "I am here on the orders of His Highness to treat a young lady in your residence. I heard that she was poisoned. Unfortunately, I happen to be from Miaojiang and have some knowledge of Miao medicine."
"If you trust me, young lady, I might go and take a look."
Li Qingluo was immediately pleasantly surprised.
I knew that Duan Rongshi would not stand idly by and ignore this matter. It turned out that he had such a capable general under his command.
Li Qingluo personally took Dong Siyuan to the Butterfly Yard.
Pulled Madam Pei over as well.
After all, Butterfly and Old Madam Pei have a close blood relationship. Butterfly can be said to be Old Madam Pei's niece. Although she is not a legitimate daughter, the blood relationship is indeed undeniable.
After looking at the butterfly, Dong Siyuan sighed, "This girl has indeed been poisoned. And I infer that the poison has been there for quite some time."
"This time, the symptoms have been accumulated for a long time and are due to internal injuries. Although this poison is indeed very vicious, I am willing to give it a try."
"Please give me some time, young lady."
Li Qingluo: "Sir, rest assured. We at General Xiuli's Mansion will do our best to provide everything you need."
Dong Siyuan bowed, and Li Qingluo brought out Madam Pei.
Seeing Butterfly unconscious and mumbling incessantly, Mrs. Pei sighed heavily.
"I, your brother, have been a fool for half my life. I deserve death, but how innocent and pitiful are butterflies? What a sin!"
"Luo'er, if Butterfly can survive this life-or-death ordeal, let me, your grandmother... take care of her myself."
"Teaching and learning from the beginning will always help her live like a real person."
Li Qingluo smiled slightly: "Okay, Grandma."
"However, now it's time for Luo'er to accompany you back to Dongyin Lane."
Li Qingluo was originally worried about the butterfly incident, so he didn't have the energy to clean up Dongyin Lane for the time being.
But now she can rest assured to leave the butterfly matter to Dong Siyuan, so this time, she must accompany her grandmother back in person!
Also, it’s time to settle the accounts with the Qu family once and for all!
Li Qingluo called over Nanny Zheng and Nanny Deng, "You two, quickly go and help me with something..."
Li Qingluo called Que'er over again: "There's one more thing I can trust you to do. Go to Qingzhu Garden for me..."
After giving instructions to Que'er, Li Qingluo accompanied Mrs. Pei out and boarded the carriage back to the general's mansion.
Dongyin Lane.
The Mansion of the General of Cavalry, which was once bustling with guests and visitors, has undergone tremendous changes just a few months after last year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
The General's Mansion was now deserted and even the signboard was covered in a thin layer of dust. Unnoticed, it had fallen into complete desolation and decay...
I heard that the news of Li Chaojing going insane has reached the court.
Moreover, people from the palace have already come to investigate the situation in the general's mansion. With Qu's clumsy methods, they cannot hide the truth.
I guess the imperial edict to remove him from office will be issued soon.
The plaque of this general's mansion might be completely replaced soon...
"It's the old lady, it's the eldest girl who has returned—Madam, it's the old lady and the girl who have returned!"
The servant who was dozing off at the door heard the sound of a carriage, opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Qingluo and his grandson. He immediately rushed into the door with joy, stumbling and shouting as he ran inside.
Li Qingluo supported her grandmother and stood at the door. Soon, not only Qu, but also people from the second and third houses came out in a hurry to greet them.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Qu led everyone in the mansion to kneel down: "Welcome the old lady back to the mansion——"
Li Qingluo: Look at this. Everyone in this mansion is so respectful and filial to Grandmother.
In fact, there is no one who doesn't have evil intentions.
Moreover, it was this stupid and evil mistress who killed countless children in this mansion and even attempted to poison her mother-in-law!
Li Qingluo's eyes fell coldly on her.
Qu looked up at her with tearful eyes: "Luo'er...you, you are finally back."
"Mom misses you so much..."
