When Madam Pei heard this, she finally pointed at Qu and said, "Hurry up and arrest this crazy woman!"
Several maids came forward and quickly dragged Qu to the front of Old Madam Pei and made her kneel down.
"Slap her!"
Mrs. Pei will not show her any mercy.
Nanny Zhang stepped forward and slapped Qu several times.
Qu screamed in pain after being beaten.
"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is really not wrong...ah——"
"Ever since the second and third branches were driven away to the farm, Aunt Deng has always wanted to come back..."
"So after my daughter-in-law married into the general's mansion, she has been secretly sending letters to her and giving her advice—"
"She helped her daughter-in-law get medicine to abort the first child of Aunt Lou and Aunt Zheng—"
"So many dirty secrets were her doing! Including Aunt Zheng's twins, they were all her idea—"
"ah!!"
"I, your daughter-in-law, would never dare to tell a lie! My mother-in-law—Old Aunt Deng—is the culprit who killed those children—ah!"
"Please be discerning—"
Qu's decisive words made the people from the second and third rooms look ashen.
Li Chaohuai was a filial son and would never believe these words.
He was about to rush over and teach Qu a lesson himself when he heard a familiar voice angrily say, "Qu Sanniang, you lied—!"
"I did send you a letter, hoping to establish a good relationship with you and to have the opportunity to return to the General's Mansion with the children..."
"But those children you killed were clearly the ones you wanted to get rid of in order to clear the path for yourself and your bloodline, but you couldn't find anyone to help you, so you asked me for advice!"
"Qu, you want to confuse right and wrong and throw all this dirty water on me alone, but that's not allowed!"
Old Aunt Deng came out trembling.
The people in the second and third rooms were all surprised to see her: "Auntie?"
"Aunt?"
Li Chaohuai: "Auntie, did you really do these things?"
"You aided and abetted the evil and helped him kill so many of my eldest brother's children!? Mother, is all this true!?"
Li Chaohuai seemed unable to accept it.
He always thought that his aunt was wrongly accused and misunderstood, but now it seems that his aunt has indeed done a lot of dirty work in this general's mansion.
Li Chaohuai retreated heavily behind him.
His wife Jiang and Li Qingya finally managed to hold him up.
Li Chaoan also shouted: "Auntie, you are confused!!"
Aunt Deng looked at her two sons and their families with a bitter face, and shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I was wrong, I really did do something wrong..."
Aunt Deng turned around and knelt heavily before Madam Pei. "Madam, I have committed a grave error. This time, I will not quibble. Whether it is beating or death, please punish me. I dare not even utter a word of complaint!"
"But please, Madam, forgive Huai'er and An'er. They really don't know anything and haven't done anything wrong to offend the General's Mansion—"
"Madam, please, please—"
Before Madam Pei could even begin to speak, Li Qingluo stepped forward and said, "Why do you have so many children and grandchildren, while my grandmother's descendants are being wiped out by a vicious woman like you, leaving almost none alive?"
Aunt Deng's lips trembled and she didn't dare to refute a word.
Li Qingluo: "However, since you've pleaded guilty, it means that my half-brothers and half-sisters, as well as countless of my father's children in this mansion, were all murdered by you, aiding and abetting the Qu family. You can't deny this, right?"
Mrs. Qu was still shouting, "Luo'er, no, the truth is absolutely not like this. You believe in A Niang—it was all instigated by this old woman, A Niang. It was really her—"
"Luo'er, believe in your mother. I am your mother—"
Li Qingluo didn't even look at her.
Instead, he stared at Aunt Deng.
Aunt Deng lowered her head and confessed, "It was... I, along with the General's mistress, Lady Qu, who killed all those children, both born and unborn..."
Li Chaohuai fell headfirst to the ground.
“Oh my god!!”
He cried out in pain.
Qu's face turned completely pale. "No... No!! Luo'er, why do you have to treat me like this? I'm your mother!!"
Li Qingluo: "Then you know, your own mother watched helplessly as I was replaced by that Zhao family, and even hid the truth from you for seventeen years."
"Not everyone in this world loves their own children."
"Just like your mother, and like my mother."
"And I was born into this world of suffering because of all the evil things you did!"
Qu's whole body was limp.
She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Youshi beside her.
Youshi had long since stopped shouting and making a fuss when she heard that Li Qingluo had actually known about this for a long time and had revealed it to Qushi.
Of course she wouldn't admit it!
"You little bitch, this is all just fabricated by you! If I had known the truth back then, how could I not have stopped it?"
"Stop trying to sow discord between me and Sanniang..."
Li Qingluo: "My grandmother was poisoned by your Qu family and wanted to kill her. It was you, a vicious old woman, who did it, right?"
Yu Shi immediately and eagerly retorted: "Of course not! It's clearly Sanniang's great aunt He—"
