Li Qingluo sneered: "If I die at the hands of someone like you, it would be a great shame and humiliation for me!"
She wanted to reach out and shoot him to death with an arrow from her sleeve.
But she knew for sure that if she killed an imperial official, she would die no matter how lucky she was.
However, if she couldn't kill him in front of everyone, she could always kill the beast behind his back later.
Qu Daoyuan: "It seems that Miss Li has some misunderstanding about me."
Li Qingluo: "Misunderstanding? The nonsense and slander you just spewed out is not a misunderstanding. When my grandmother was fighting on the battlefield to defend her country, you were probably not even born yet!"
"Without my grandmother's bravery in the past, how could you be so pretentious and bully others in this peaceful and prosperous world today?"
Qu Daoyuan's face was filled with anger: "You! Miss Li, be careful with your words. You insulted the imperial officials. What crime will you be punished for?"
Li Qingluo: "You were the one who insulted my grandmother first. Even if you go before His Majesty, you can still explain this matter!"
"If I were convicted and punished for this today, I would never regret calling you a bastard official!"
Seeing how aggressive she was, Qu Daoyuan suddenly laughed out loud a few times.
Qu Daoyuan, instead of being annoyed, asked her with a smile, "Cousin, how about I show you a way out? Go ahead with your previous marriage and marry my fourth brother. Perhaps my father and I can personally go to the emperor and ask for his grace to spare you from the family's calamity. Regardless, I'll keep you alive."
"It's just that you are a criminal now, so you can't be Xun'er's wife. Being a concubine wouldn't be considered an injustice to you."
Old Madam Pei silently pushed through the crowd, walked forward, and personally raised her hand to slap Qu Daoyuan hard in the face.
"You bastard!"
"What have you, the Qu family, been up to in this general's mansion these past few years, and what are your plans? Don't think that everyone in the world knows about it!"
"Everyone is so shameless, it has reached the pinnacle!"
"There are no more shameless beasts in this world than your Qu family. Even if our Luo'er were to die honorably, she would never marry into your family, marry a cripple, and become a concubine!"
"You are humiliating an old man like me by humiliating her like this!"
"Dream on, ugh!"
Qu Daoxun was an official after all, but after being slapped in the face by an old woman, he could no longer hold back a gloomy and vicious expression on his face.
"Old man, you dare to hit me——"
He stretched out his hand to do something, but Pei Jingzhe rushed forward to stop him.
"Master Qu! What are you going to do?"
"Master Qu, please take a closer look. The man before you is the renowned General Xiu Li, not some old man."
"Besides, although the emperor said that he would arrest all the servants and family members of the General of the Cavalry's mansion, he did not mention what to do with Madam Pei."
"I heard that both the grandmother and the granddaughter had already moved out of the General's Mansion. Should we arrest them both? Perhaps we need to report this to His Majesty before making a decision."
Qu Daoyuan, whose wrist was tightly grasped by Pei Jingzhe, looked at Li Qingluo who was holding a knife that was almost against his neck, and Madam Pei who was glaring at him with rage. Qu Daoyuan:?
Since Pei Jingzhe has such skills, why didn't he come to stop this old guy just now! ! ?
Qu Daoyuan, who was insulted and beaten, found it difficult to swallow his anger.
"She hit me, didn't you see?"
Pei Jingzhe: “I saw it.”
"So what?"
Qu Daoyuan:?
Pei Jingzhe righteously advised, "Do you really want to hit her in the face? You can't afford to hit General Xiuli in the face, let alone hit her. Are you sure you want to try?"
"Besides, she was just scolding us youngsters and teaching us a few words. We should just accept it with humility. How could she really get angry and turn against us?"
"Master Qu, please think twice!"
Qu Daoyuan:?
So he wasn't the one who was beaten, scolded, and humiliated, so he was so shameless and could say these high-sounding and harmless words, right?
He understood that Pei Jingzhe was here today just to take sides.
What's more, he's the one who came along to humiliate me!
Qu Daoyuan thought that the Pei family and Old Madam Pei had completely fallen out, so when he saw that it was him who came to capture the General's Mansion today, Qu Daoyuan originally thought that the two of them would unite against the enemy and quickly deal with the matter.
I didn’t expect Pei Jingzhe to have this attitude!
Qu Daoyuan suddenly felt something was wrong.
He originally thought that he would be able to successfully capture everyone in General Man's Mansion today, including this old guy, and he wouldn't have to go to General Xiuli's Mansion specially. Who knew that now this old man couldn't even move his bones?
