"When she got better, her personality changed completely... She seemed to hate the Master..."
"She would cry and make a scene every few days, quarreling with the master. She even went a little crazy a few times... I heard she even beat the master up."
The more Aunt Lou spoke, the lower her voice became.
As a concubine, it was understandable that she criticized her mistress and her master, even if she was beaten with a stick.
She didn't dare to continue, but Madam Pei and Li Qingluo had already understood everything.
Zheng lived in Yueming Garden back then.
Later, Zheng and Lou made mistakes and were both sent to a farm in Shu, but Zheng disappeared along the way with his whereabouts unknown.
After Zheng left, Yueming Garden and the surrounding courtyards began to be haunted.
If we count the unborn child in Zheng's womb, she had two children, both of whom died in this general's mansion.
So, is Zheng dead?
Otherwise, where did the crying of the female ghost in Yueming Garden come from?
If Zheng is already dead, is her death related to Qu?
At this moment, Aunt Deng knocked on the door and said, "Madam, the lady is here to pay her respects to you."
Madam Pei's face was filled with frost: "What a vicious woman! It's just right, I want to see her too! Let her in!"
Lou was taken to the back. After Qu came in, she looked around the room in panic. She didn't see the person she was expecting and seemed a little confused.
Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei both knew what was going on, but neither of them pointed it out.
Li Qingluo stood up and greeted Qu, who was now willing to look her in the eye.
"Luo'er, are you here to see your grandmother too?"
"Mother, did Luo'er disturb you?"
"Why do I seem to have heard that someone came to gossip about Mother and Luo'er?"
"It was my daughter-in-law who didn't discipline the people in the house well on a daily basis, which is why they came to my mother. This is all my daughter-in-law's fault."
Li Qingluo shook his head secretly.
This Qu was much more stupid than she had imagined.
Knowing my grandmother's temper well, I still dare to come up to her so directly.
It would be fine if you didn't catch anyone, but you even dared to bring up these things yourself. Aren't you asking for trouble?
It seems that she hurt Zheng so badly back then, and was able to get rid of both Zheng and Lou later. It was obvious that there was someone behind the scenes directing her.
Who is it?
Li Qingzhu?
Or...someone else?
Of course, Li Qingluo was just thinking about it in her heart. She didn't say anything, but Mrs. Pei had a lot to say.
"What do you want to say? Lou Shi? She came to Luo'er and begged her to visit you more often, so that the third lady can suffer less from you."
"I heard that you killed a concubine's daughter back then?"
"How can you be so shameless? Since you've already taken care of a dead person, how dare you take care of someone else's alive!?"
"If I were you, I would have to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for my entire life to atone for my sins! You two evil-hearted couple are so good, you have already harmed one person, and now you want to harm another one!?"
Qu's face turned red and white when she was scolded, and it happened in front of Li Qingluo. She felt that she had lost all face.
"Mother, what did you say...I don't know..."
Madam Pei clapped her hands heavily: "Don't play dumb with me! I'm not old yet, I know everything about this family! I tell you, I know every single one of the dirty things you've done!"
"Qu, you have such a vicious heart. All the descendants of this general's mansion, including Li Qingzhu's self-immolation, Chuan'er's broken leg, and even Luo'er being switched and left adrift since childhood, were caused by your own sins!"
This sentence was undoubtedly like a sharp blade more vicious than a curse to Qu, stabbing him directly in the chest.
Qu collapsed instantly, clutching her chest and crying, "I didn't! I wasn't! No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me—"
Qu ignored etiquette and turned around and ran out.
Madam Pei immediately sent someone to follow her.
"We must find out who is behind her!"
Old Madam Pei stabbed Qu fiercely in order to force out the person who was behind Qu's advice.
She wanted to know who else was in the general's mansion who dared to make such a mess and make the house so chaotic!
Li Qingluo also felt that there were more and more dirty secrets in this house.
She turned around, knelt down, and said to Madam Pei, "Grandma, Luo'er plans to attend the meeting at the charity cemetery in ten days."
Mrs. Pei was just about to tell her not to worry, as Chen He would be here soon and she would definitely ask her in person.
Aunt Zhang came in hurriedly and said, "Madam, young lady, something has happened!"
"I rushed to Chen He's home and learned that the real Chen He had returned to her hometown three months ago!"
Madam Pei stood up. "What do you mean? Are you saying that the female teacher who taught Luo'er martial arts for the past three months wasn't the real Chen He? How do you do things?!"
It was Nanny Zhang who had chosen the girls from her former subordinates' families to teach Li Qingluo about this matter.
At this moment, Nanny Zhang's face also turned pale. "Old Madam, I was careless in this matter. I rushed to Captain Shen's house and learned that his sister did not like martial arts at all. She only liked embroidery all the time, so there was no possibility of her teaching martial arts to the young lady."
"At that time, the old servant spread the word, so the one who ran into the door of the Shen family was a fake Shen He."
"I noticed that she did look a bit like Old Chen, and she took the initiative to come forward and say she was Chen He... I was deceived by her!"
"Luckily nothing happened to the girl, otherwise I would never be able to atone for my sins even if I died a thousand times!"
Aunt Zhang knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes.
