"It's not that I look down on him. I heard that this cousin spends all day drinking and having fun, making friends through literature, and never puts the heart into studying. Not only that, the marriage between the two families should have been finalized long ago, but it seems that the man's family has long looked down on Chun'er, so Chun'er is almost seventeen and still hasn't gotten married."
"Chun'er's family was so smug they thought they had found a good match, and they were spreading the news everywhere, causing the man's family to come to Wangzhen Tower and humiliate Chun'er several times, both openly and covertly."
"Poor Chun'er started working at the age of twelve. Even though he was despised by his cousin and felt he couldn't show his face, he still dared to go home and complain to his parents. I heard that he never got a penny of the wages he earned. He gave it all to his family for food and drink."
"Now that I'm dead, they're still using my name to make a big fuss in this world."
The more Li Qingluo listened, the colder his expression became.
Soon, she saw Chun'er and her family at the door of Huaxie Restaurant.
What a big family.
Chun'er's grandparents, parents, one elder sister, three younger sisters, and two younger brothers all came.
The youngest brother is only four or five years old.
I was held beside my parents in a daze, listening to the adults crying and wailing.
"I was a good girl, working in your house, but I was burned to death—"
"She's not even seventeen yet. In a few months, she'll marry the cousin she's admired since childhood."
"My future son-in-law is a scholar, and he might even become the top scholar in the future. My Chun'er should have enjoyed endless happiness, but now he has nothing—"
"I want my daughter, I want my Chun'er—"
"You guys stay with Chun'er, my real girl!!"
Chun'er's mother sat on the ground, slapping her legs and crying these words over and over again to all the onlookers.
Li Qingluo glanced at Shaqi and Shaba, who had followed him out today, on both sides of the door.
They immediately went down the stairs and came to Chun'er's family, pressing on Chun'er's grandparents.
"W-What are you going to do?"
"Just because you have money, you can bully others?"
"No matter how great you are, you are just a merchant, and you have a merchant's dog!"
"You have a status lower than that of ordinary people like us, and you still want to kill people in broad daylight in front of everyone?"
The old man was trembling and shouting with fear on his face, saying words that were irresponsible of his own life.
Li Qingluo sneered, "I just asked my guards to help you two old men up."
"How did it become murder?"
"And the elderly, they are people, not dogs."
"If you want to be a beast, no one can stop you, but if you want to talk nonsense, we merchants and lowly people cannot tolerate it."
After saying this, she waved her hand and said, "Bring them some stools and let them sit down. We will judge the case in front of the entire city."
"If anything bad happens to these two old people again, our Wangzhenlou will be completely blamed by this family."
Li Qingluo was very polite and military as soon as he came in, which really scared Chun'er and her family.
But Chun'er's mother soon reacted.
"You, are you cursing the lives of my parents-in-law?"
"Well, look everyone—it's not enough that the people from Wangzhenlou and Huaxie Restaurant have harmed my daughter, now they're cursing my parents-in-law to death."
"They are so vicious-hearted—"
Que'er couldn't help but utter a low sigh: "Enough!"
"Shut up!"
"This is our boss, you have no right to shout here!"
"Otherwise we won't be polite."
Chun'er's father also raised his head with his neck stiffened: "Why are you so rude? Are you going to kill our whole family?"
"Come on, come on."
"Anyway, our whole family is here now. Just kill us all in front of the whole city."
"In this way, no one will bother you!"
Li Qingluo: "Rogue."
Chun'er's father and mother looked at each other, "Scoundrel? She actually called us scoundrels?"
"Is there any justice in the world? We just wanted to seek justice for our daughter who died tragically, but we were threatened with our lives and insulted as scoundrels."
"In this world, is it true that anyone with money can rule the country and treat other people's lives as worthless?"
"Just because you're rich, you think you're great. Does that mean you can shut up those of us who just want justice for our daughter?"
Li Qingluo: "If I don't have money!"
"Could you give us fifty taels of silver as compensation yesterday to help Chun'er get buried?"
She raised her voice, and the murderous aura that was revealed in her body seemed to have turned into a chill at this moment, pressing down on Chun'er's family invisibly.
The pressure was so severe that Chun'er's parents couldn't breathe and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
When everyone around heard this, there was an uproar.
"What?"
"Fifty taels?"
"so much?"
"Such a large sum of money, why are they still making trouble?"
"Impossible? Whose family would give such a huge amount of compensation when a worker dies?"
"What kind of precious body is that girl? Why is she so valuable?"
When Chun'er's family heard this, they jumped up nervously and excitedly to explain.
"How is that possible!"
"It's only thirty taels, don't listen to their nonsense!"
"I definitely don't have fifty taels of silver!"
After hearing this, Li Qingluo couldn't help laughing.
"So thirty taels is such a small sum for you."
Chun'er and her family only then realized that they had been tricked by her!
