"Thank you for your kindness, young lady!"
Aunt Lou pulled Li Qinghuan to kowtow together, and Li Qingluo hurried forward to stop them.
"Aunt, there's no need to do this! Besides, Sister Huan is my biological sister, how could I possibly bear her kowtow? Aunt, I don't want to shorten my life, please forgive me!"
Li Qingluo's words prompted Aunt Lou to push Li Qinghuan up first.
But she still kowtowed to Li Qingluo sincerely.
"Miss, if you were the one teaching Huan'er, I would be more than happy to do it! Besides, I would be able to see Huan'er more often this way, so why not?"
Mrs. Lou smiled, and it was obvious that she was genuinely happy.
Looking at Li Qinghuan again, she blinked and looked at Li Qingluo timidly.
She was terrified these days.
There is less innocence and ignorance in his eyes, and more fear and cowardice.
Li Qingluo suddenly seemed to see himself in his past life...
She shook her head and pulled Li Qinghuan over.
Is this her biological sister?
She now has one more relative in this world.
And she is such a pretty little girl, quite interesting.
Li Qingluo nodded her little head, "Don't be afraid. You can go back and live with your aunt. You just need to come to my place every day to report for duty. I will teach you a few things. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, Aunt Lou's eyes, which were already filled with joy, brightened up again.
"Miss, you...you really don't want Huan'er to come here with you?"
Li Qingluo waved her hand. "Forget it. I'm really afraid of trouble. You should take care of her yourself. I'll see her every day. I'm sure my father won't say anything for the time being."
Lou lowered her head with red eyes, "I really can't repay what I owe you, young lady... Young lady, since that's the case, I'll tell you another secret!"
As she spoke, Lou straightened up and looked around nervously.
Li Qingluo understood what he meant and gave Que'er a look. Soon the room was cleared and only the two of them were left.
Aunt Lou leaned over and whispered, "Young lady, actually, the Li family didn't just have a few children like you."
Li Qingluo didn't understand what Aunt Lou said.
Concubine Lou then continued, "Concubine Zheng actually gave birth to twins! In addition to the daughter who was raised until she was four years old, there was also a son who was secretly thrown into the lake in our garden by the Madam right after birth!"
"Poor child, he was drowned before he could even cry out!"
"I happened to be passing by the rockery that night, so I saw it with all my heart. This is absolutely true!"
"Moreover, the midwife who delivered Concubine Zheng was the same midwife from the Liu family who delivered you, young lady."
Li Qingluo grabbed the armrest with his palm, almost breaking it.
"Is this really all done by my own mother?"
Not only did she say she was stupid, but she even plotted to kill the illegitimate son!
Aunt Lou: "Actually, with Madam's personality, it's really unlikely... But with the Qu family behind her, nothing is impossible."
Li Qingluo asked again, "What about my father? Does he know about this?"
Aunt Lou hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, her face pale as she said, "Of course the master doesn't know. Otherwise, how could he let this matter go so easily? In fact, maybe even Aunt Zheng herself didn't know that she actually gave birth to twins!"
"After the child drowned, I was so frightened that I nearly lost my soul that night. In the middle of the night, I felt uneasy and wanted to go check again, but I saw with my own eyes that they fished out the body and buried it in the garden..."
So vicious!
Li Qingluo felt like vomiting after hearing this!
This family and these people are so disgusting!
She asked Aunt Lou not to tell anyone about this matter, but she went to Jingci Hall and told Madam Pei every detail of the matter.
Mrs. Pei was naturally very angry.
These are all her descendants and blood relatives, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, they are all living lives. How can she not be heartbroken?
"This Qu family, and the Qu family, I will not forgive them!"
Nanny Zhang went to investigate and found that Qu's contacts with her mother's family were indeed close, and Nanny Chang ran back to Qu's house every few days to pass on messages for Qu.
The person behind the Qu family might really be the Qu family.
However, Madam Pei still had some doubts. What good would it be for the Qu family to do this?
After all, no matter how long the arms are, it is impossible for the general's mansion to change its surname to Qu!
Li Qingluo advised Madam Pei, "Grandma, please don't be angry. This matter must be exposed, but I want to find a good time. This time, I will ask for your permission first. I hope you can give Luo'er a chance."
Madam Pei sighed, "Luo'er, this is a family scandal. If it gets out, not only will the entire General's Mansion be disgraced, but your mother might even be put to death. Have you thought this through?"
Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, Luo'er will control this matter and won't let anyone know. However, whatever consequences mother has suffered for what she has done, she deserves them."
Madam Pei looked at Li Qingluo with pity. "That old woman Liu switched your identities with Li Qingzhu back then. I was wondering why your mother, knowing the truth, didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she spared the family and allowed them to continue living a comfortable life. It turns out she had this evidence in her hands."
"Your father is also stupid. He has been manipulated by a vicious woman like Qu all these years. I don't know how many children she has killed."
"Alas, Li family, marrying the wrong mistress is destroying your own foundation!"
Li Qingluo also shook his head and comforted Madam Pei for a while before returning to the Red Maple Pavilion.
After a few days, Li Qingluo arranged for Liu Sui'er to enter the mansion.
She used the excuse that she wanted to buy a few more maids for her Red Maple Pavilion.
Originally, Chun Zaitang said that she would send a few over.
But Li Qingluo refused them all.
Naturally, she didn't want to get involved with Chun Zaitang. Her grandmother actually had many candidates, but Li Qingluo's main purpose was to let Liu Suier enter the mansion as a maid.
Sure enough, the human trafficker entered the mansion with a group of slaves including Liu Sui'er.
On the way to Hongfeng Pavilion, Liu Suier was seen by many people.
She didn't put on any makeup today, so she only looked about 50% similar to Li Qingzhu.
But just these five or six points were enough to shock and shock everyone in the general's mansion!
Naturally, this news soon spread to Chunzaitang and Lancangyuan.
Li Kechuan was carried out of the room today and was lying under the banyan tree in the yard, basking in the sun and watching the falling leaves. He heard someone say that the Red Maple Pavilion was selecting maids today and a maid who looked very similar to the eldest girl came. His eyes moved slightly.
Looks like Pearl?
How similar can they be?
He didn't want to care, but when he thought about what would happen if he really looked like Zhu'er, but fell into the hands of that bitch Li Qingluo and was ordered around... he felt furious.
"Come here! Go and intercept those slaves!"
Li Qingluo had known for a long time that she would definitely not be able to wait for Liu Sui'er today.
Sure enough, Que'er came over quickly and told her, "Miss, he really was taken to Lancang Courtyard! You're truly a prophet!"
