Madam Qu turned her head and looked at Madam Pei with dissatisfaction.
"I heard that since she returned home, you have been raising her, elder sister?"
"I know she's been deprived of a lot in the past, and after returning home, she's been spoiled by you, so she's always been against her brother, even injuring Chuan'er multiple times!"
"Old sister, I'm not saying anything bad, but this Luo'er is too cruel and has no manners!"
Madam Pei looked at Madam Qu.
Qu's uncle was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although Qu's father was only a fourth-rank civil servant, the entire Qu family was very wealthy and powerful in Jinling City.
Madam Qu has always been domineering. Whenever she came to the general's mansion, she acted like the real boss. She has been domineering for many years and has become accustomed to it.
But she has forgotten now.
The General's Mansion is no longer the same as it used to be. Pei Xiuzhen, who shocked the entire Jinling City back then, is back now!
It’s not anyone else’s turn to make the decision in the General’s Mansion!
At this moment, hearing what Mrs. Qu said, Mrs. Pei remembered that she had just helped to deal with some chores in the front yard, so she forced herself not to slap her.
He just said coldly, "It is true that I have been the one raising Luo'er since she returned home. Are you blaming me for not teaching her the right manners?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Qu's face.
"Old sister, that's not what I meant. It's just that the situation at home is different today. She should come out and take a look, right?"
Madam Pei said, "Luo'er has developed a rash, and I heard the maids in her yard are also feeling unwell. Madam Chang, if you feel unwell later, don't be afraid. It must be just something that happened."
Nanny Chang, who was standing by, turned pale and felt that her whole body was starting to itch.
Mrs. Pei: "Sister-in-law, if you really want to see her, she will definitely come to see you out of filial piety."
"Have you thought it through?"
Madam Qu's face froze completely: "This, this, this..."
The two daughters-in-law behind her hurriedly pulled Madam Qu.
"Mother, since Luo'er isn't feeling well, there's no need to force her out. Otherwise, if Chuan'er's injury isn't fully understood, and another outbreak spreads throughout the General's Mansion, what are we going to do?"
Old Madam Qu turned around and slapped her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Idiot, I don't know!? You're the one who keeps talking!"
Mrs. Pei simply couldn't stand Mrs. Qu's methods.
"If you want to show off, please go back to your Qu family. My general's mansion is already in chaos today, and I can't stand any more noise and chaos."
Nanny Zhang stepped forward, smiling politely, and said, "Madam Qu, please don't overthink it. Our old lady is extremely worried and doesn't know what the eldest son is like. After all, our Li family only has this one legitimate son, unlike your Qu family, who have six or seven sons."
"Madam Qu, it's getting dark. How about I arrange for you to rest first? If there's any news, I'll definitely let you know."
Old Madam Qu was being bossed around by an old maid and she almost couldn't help cursing.
"T-He's my grandson after all! I, I'm not going anywhere!"
At this moment, Qu woke up again and rushed to Lancang Courtyard crying.
"My son—my Chuan'er—Chuan'er—please don't scare me, please don't get into any trouble, Chuan'er—"
"You are my mother's lifeblood! Chuan'er——"
Madam Pei: "Stop howling!"
Qu choked instantly.
Even Madam Qu moved aside.
Madam Pei stood up and looked at everyone in the yard with sharp and cold eyes.
"Isn't that annoying enough? He's not dead yet, so I'll make you all cry to death!"
"Anyone who makes any more noise, get out!"
Mrs. Pei doesn't have a good temper.
She never picks on whom she scolds, and she never picks on the day.
Qu no longer dared to cry out loud. She could only sob and collapse, looking at the main house of Lancang Courtyard, choking and crying.
Seeing her daughter in such a state, Madam Qu decided to stay. She hugged Qu and wept, whispering in pain, "My daughter, please don't let anything happen to you again, or you'll break your heart!"
The yard gradually became quiet.
Li Chaojing stayed in the house until dawn, then he walked out with an extremely tired body, half of his hair white, and a dead and gray face.
Madam Qu had fallen asleep long ago and was still snoring.
Old Madam Pei opened her eyes the moment Li Chaojing opened the door and came out.
Qu jumped up instantly, rushed forward, grabbed Li Chaojing, and asked anxiously, "How is it? Master, how is Chuan'er?"
Qu's eyes were red from staying up all night. At this moment, looking at her husband's expression, she actually had a bad premonition in her heart.
No……
Li Chaojing looked at his wife and then at Old Madam Pei.
He then shook his head, his words filled with extreme grief: "Doctor Luo Shen... was helpless... and only managed to save Chuan'er's life! Chuan'er's left leg... is gone! Completely, completely gone..."
Qu: "What?"
She opened her mouth in astonishment, as if she didn't understand these words at all.
Li Chaojing suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed out loud "Hahahahaha" a few times.
"My Li family is finished, is it finished just like that?!? Hahahahahaha..."
Mrs. Pei felt very uncomfortable at the moment when she saw her stupid son acting so crazy.
She turned around, her figure trembling slightly, and walked away slowly with the support of Nanny Zhang.
Old Lady Qu was woken up by her two daughters-in-law. After learning that Li Kechuan had really broken one leg completely, she also shed tears.
