On New Year’s Eve, the whole city is filled with fireworks.
The sound of firecrackers never stops.
The general's mansion was neither too lively nor too busy. Li Qingluo only smiled occasionally when talking to Old Madam Pei, and he was also quite patient with Sister Huan.
As for the rest, he seemed indifferent to anyone and anything.
The people in the second and third rooms disliked her and thought she was arrogant, but they didn't dare to act recklessly because of the old lady.
Qu came over several times and spoke to Li Qingluo tenderly and kindly, but Li Qingluo pretended not to hear. However, as a mother, she naturally couldn't give up and kept chattering: "Luo'er, the day after tomorrow, why don't you go back to your grandmother's house with your mother to play? Your grandmother and the others haven't officially met you yet..."
Li Qingluo: "I have seen you. Has mother forgotten the day when the eldest son broke his leg?"
That day, her grandmother was so powerful that she sent Nanny Chang to her Red Maple Pavilion to cause trouble. Li Qingluo even gave the old woman a good lesson!
When Nanny Chang heard the old story, she wanted to crawl into the cracks under the floor.
Who would have thought that this unremarkable girl would be so powerful!
Qu's face froze, and she felt that Li Qingluo was really asking for trouble.
"This... Mother is talking about you. You haven't formally met your grandmother's family yet, and your aunts haven't even given you a gift..."
Li Qingluo: "No need. There's no need for any contact if there's no affection."
Li Qingluo didn't want to get close to the Qu family at all, so he was unwilling to give them face.
According to what Zhao meant, her maternal grandmother, Old Lady Qu, must have been involved in her identity change.
But is it just her, or the entire Qu family behind her?
Li Qingluo naturally wanted to deal with this old witch.
But not yet.
Zhao just died. Who poisoned her in prison?
Uncle De and Aunt Deng have not yet found out the truth, so Li Qingluo can only hold back for the time being.
The day when the truth comes out will be the day when Mrs. Qu’s true identity is revealed.
Mrs. Qu looked bored and embarrassed. Li Kechuan, who had been drinking silently at another table, saw this and couldn't help but say, "Luo'er, why is he putting his mother in such a difficult position?"
"There are no wrong parents in this world. Since your mother has already begged you so humbly, why are you still so aggressive and insulting her in public?"
"Luo'er, if you're angry with mother because of what my brother did in the past, there's absolutely no need for that. If you really want to hate someone, just hate me."
The hall fell silent in an instant.
Everyone's eyes were on the two siblings who were born of the same mother.
Li Kechuan had locked himself up in Lancang Courtyard for several days and had not seen anyone. When he came out today, he looked unkempt, extremely thin and miserable.
This is the eldest son of a general's family. He was once a young general with great glory and a promising future. But now he has fallen into such a miserable state. It is really sad.
Looking back at Li Qingluo, it was clearly her who used to be dark, thin, ordinary and even down-and-out. But now she has turned into the most dazzling one among all the younger generations present tonight.
The contrast between the two is both sad and strange and makes people suspicious.
The people in the second and third rooms were especially curious: What had happened between these two? How did it even come to this point of hatred?
Qu was so anxious that she clearly wanted to say something, but when she looked at Li Qingluo, she still endured it.
I am indeed very humble.
Every day, food, drinks and daily necessities were sent to her Red Maple Pavilion, even all kinds of gold and silver jewelry that Zhu'er used to like were sent to her Red Maple Pavilion.
But except for the gold and silver, she returned all the rest.
Qu Shi now dared not even dream of the usual greetings.
Even if I wanted to see her, it would not be easy.
Qu's eyes were red and she felt quite aggrieved.
After all, I am the mistress of this general's mansion, and people from the second and third rooms are here for the New Year's Eve banquet today.
But even though he had tried so hard to please her, Luo'er still had a cold face!
Since Luo'er doesn't give me face, why not let Chuan'er put down her arrogance and scold her a few words?
If I give her face, she should at least know the difference between respect and inferiority, right?
Li Qingluo said, "Young Master, please stop calling me 'Luo'er'. After all, you wanted to skin me alive and pull out my tendons, and you wanted me to kowtow a hundred times in front of Liu Qingzhu's grave to atone for my sins. You even conspired with others to cut my flesh and blood, and you even wished I had died in the fire. You hate me more than anyone who hates my enemies for generations, but it's you."
"Why are you pretending to be a good man, a good son, and a good brother now?"
"Li Kechuan, stop disgusting me!"
As soon as Li Qingluo finished speaking, Li Kechuan accidentally knocked over the wine glass in his hand.
The people from the second and third rooms all gasped in shock.
Is this true?
Tsk tsk tsk, they have never heard of such horrifying things in Zhuangzi!
Is this really something a brother can do?
Being stared at by everyone, Li Kechuan could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face.
He was completely dazed and stared at his biological sister in great pain. Thinking of the things he had done and the words he had said, all of them flashed through his mind like a passing scene.
"You...you really won't forgive me?"
Li Qingluo couldn't help laughing: "Forgive? Why?"
"Li Kechuan, because you broke your leg, or because Liu Qingzhu betrayed you, is it because you finally have a conscience and see me, your biological sister?"
