At the critical moment.
Li Kechuan sensed the danger and quickly pushed Li Qingluo's hand away, but the sharp iron pestle still cut a deep gash on his neck!
Unfortunately, it didn't go in completely.
Otherwise, even if he were a great immortal, it would be difficult to save his life today.
"Bitch!"
Li Kechuan cursed loudly and stretched out his hand to strangle Li Qingluo. The dagger in Li Qingluo's hand turned and stabbed Li Kechuan again.
Li Kechuan had no choice but to lean back to dodge and release the other hand that was holding Li Qingluo.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qingluo, who had gained his freedom, stood up and ran away.
Li Kechuan covered his neck, which was bleeding profusely, and roared furiously: "Catch her!!"
"Tear the tendons of her hands and feet, and bring her back to me!"
Li Qingluo did not continue running forward, but turned around and jumped down the hillside.
The slope is very steep. Although it is not a cliff, it is impossible to walk steadily if you go down too fast.
Li Qingluo simply rolled herself up, but the servants who were chasing her did not dare to risk their lives like her. They just sat on the ground and slid down, constantly reaching out to catch her.
Li Qingluo could only grit his teeth, hold his head and roll faster. Although he tried his best to avoid branches and stones, he still couldn't avoid being cut and scratched along the way.
"Stop—stop—"
Seeing that she showed no sign of stopping, the servants started yelling in panic.
Li Qingluo knew what was at the foot of the mountain, but he still plunged into the ferocious Qinhuai River without hesitation.
She would not give herself another chance to fall into Li Kechuan's hands.
Life is worse than death, so it’s better to fight to the death.
Li Qing fell into the water.
This happened when she was a child and went to the mountains to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. She was pushed into the lake by the Liu family's brothers and sisters, and she struggled to save her life.
The Liu family never treated her as a family member.
Li Qingzhu was the apple of the Li family's eye, and even after her death she was still their white moonlight.
But Li Qing was treated like a slave in the Liu family and was never treated as a human being.
It was for this reason that in her previous life, after returning to the Li family, she longed so much for her real blood relatives to give her even a little warmth.
But all the wishes in the previous life were not fulfilled.
And in this life, she must turn the tide. Even if it is a dead end, she must find a way to survive!
The rushing river water and the sharp protruding stones and branches.
Several servants of the Li family jumped into the water and swam back to shore in a few seconds.
As for Li Qingluo, he had already been completely submerged and disappeared without a trace.
The servants hurriedly crawled back, each one with a pale face, and knelt before Li Kechuan, saying, "Master, I'm afraid the second young lady is dead!"
Li Kechuan had seen everything clearly, and he also saw Li Qingluo resolutely jumping into the river.
At this moment, his face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with shock and surprise.
Her character is so strong that she refuses to admit defeat or bow her head.
Even if she kowtowed and confessed her guilt in front of Zhu'er's grave in hypocrisy, she would only suffer a little, and he would definitely not really take her life today.
But at this moment she chose to jump into the river rather than bow to him.
good!
What a good Li Qingluo!
Li Kechuan covered his neck with his hands, one of which was already completely stained blood red.
He stared at the surging river with hatred and ordered, "Go find him! If he's alive, I want him. If he's dead, I want his body."
So what if she really died?
If you die, you die.
He was just someone who shouldn't have come back, but it was still worth saving Zhu'er's life.
Even if the grandmother holds him accountable, can she really let him, the only legitimate son of the Li family, pay with his life?
He only needed to say that she accidentally fell into the river and drowned. At most, he would kneel in the ancestral temple for a few days, and the matter would surely be over.
My grandmother is old and she has never been the head of this family. Naturally, my mother and father will not allow her to punish themselves.
Li Kechuan calmed down and just stared at the river. He felt a sense of irritation and panic that he couldn't suppress...
At night.
The most prosperous places in Jinling City, whether day or night, are the banks of the Qinhuai River.
There was singing and dancing, and people were drinking and having fun.
Opera, juggling, storytelling and gambling.
There is also the South Hall, a brothel popular among both men and women. It has always been the most lively and glorious place at night, always as noisy and bright as during the day.
However, at this moment, in the darkness by the river below the South Pavilion, a woman holding a piece of driftwood quietly and gently emerged from the water.
This woman was Li Qingluo, who had resolutely jumped into the Qinhuai River earlier.
At this time, Li Qingluo's face was pale and his skin was swollen from soaking in the river water for too long.
She looked around and when she heard footsteps on the shore, she immediately stuck to the river bank and did not move.
"There's nothing here, look over there!"
"Light the torch brighter!"
"Have you seen it there—"
Li Kechuan's men had already followed the river to Jinling City to look for her.
Li Qingluo would naturally not be so stupid as to fall into his hands again.
She had barely managed to survive in the water, and now she had to get out as quickly as possible.
Not far away, a voice came from the shore asking, "Hey, who are you from? What are you looking for in the river so late at night?"
The Li family servant, perhaps aware of the noise they had made tonight, replied in a calm tone, "We are from the Li Mansion in the south of the city. A lowly slave who committed a crime escaped from our home a few days ago. We heard she was seen by this river, and we're afraid she fell in, so we want to look for her."
Passersby even praised her, saying, "Tsk, you really have a conscience. You're still worried that she'll drown. Why would you bother with a criminal like her? Sooner or later, she'll be caught and sent to the authorities to await punishment."
