Cui'er turned around to block for Li Qingluo, and Li Qingluo quickly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed it forward!
The black cat screamed and quickly disappeared into the yard.
Que'er happened to come back and her face changed slightly when she saw this scene.
She walked over quickly: "What's wrong? Are you okay, girl?"
Li Qingluo put the dagger into his sleeve and saw Que'er had returned. He asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Que'er sighed, "The old lady came forward and quickly sent the third young master back to the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion."
Li Qingluo's forehead twitched wildly.
How could she forget her grandmother?
In her previous life, her grandmother didn't intervene, so she didn't know what her grandmother's attitude was.
But now it seems that my grandmother is happy to see this marriage happen?
Unfortunately, those people in the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion later found out about the real and fake daughter from somewhere. Even though she was a member of the Li family, they looked down on me, a girl from the countryside.
And because of the discomfort she had in her previous life, Li Qingluo would definitely not want to marry into the Zhuang family.
It seems that the matter of breaking off the engagement has to start with grandmother.
But since Zhuang Wei had already left, she didn't need to go and see the excitement.
Li Qingluo stared at the bloodstains on the ground, curious: "Why is there a black cat? Which yard does it belong to?"
Que'er looked unhappy: "Girls, we have been hearing strange noises in Hongfeng Courtyard recently. Haven't you heard them?"
Li Qingluo looked at Cui'er, and Cui'er also shook her head.
Li Qingluo asked Que'er, "What's that sound? When did you hear it?"
Knowing that the courtyard was haunted, Li Qingluo had been paying attention to it since she moved to Red Maple Pavilion, but she had never encountered it.
How come only Que'er heard something unusual?
Que'er looked around and lowered her voice: "I always hear crying in the middle of the night. Sometimes it sounds like a woman's, sometimes it seems like a baby's."
As she spoke, Que'er rubbed her arms again, her face full of nervousness: "Girl, this yard doesn't seem clean."
Cui'er seemed to remember something and her face suddenly turned pale.
"I, this servant, I remember now. This Red Maple Pavilion seems to be haunted! That's why they say no one has lived here for more than ten years..."
Upon hearing this, Que'er exclaimed, "Then Madam also settled the girl here?"
After saying that, she looked at Li Qingluo's face again, as if she was afraid that she would be sad.
But Li Qingluo was much calmer than the two of them.
"Unexplained crying, a black cat of unknown origin. Let's go and see who's behind this!"
Li Qingluo followed the blood trail and went forward. Although Que'er and Cui'er were terrified, they had no choice but to follow after seeing that the girls had left.
The bloodstains went all the way to the southeast corner. When they reached the southeast corner, they found a small hole under the corner of the wall.
The hole was so small that only a cat could pass through it, and there was fresh blood on the hole. It was obvious that the black cat escaped from here.
Next door is also a deserted yard, not as big as the Red Maple Pavilion, but even more dilapidated than the Red Maple Pavilion.
The general's house is not small.
It was a reward personally bestowed by the late emperor on Madam Pei and the old general for their outstanding military achievements.
The Li family has a small population and not many masters, so the courtyard cannot be fully occupied, so it is not surprising that most of it is abandoned.
However, the Li family has many secrets.
When Li Qingluo was about to go next door to check again, Chun Xing, the tea maid in the front yard, came over.
"Second Miss, the master asks you to go to the front yard."
Her scumbag dad?
Li Qingluo was very surprised.
In the previous life, Li Chaojing didn't even want to see her. Since Li Qingluo returned to the Li family, she had only seen him three times.
This is the third time in this life.
Li Qingluo had to put aside the matter of looking for the cat and took Que'er and followed Chunxing to the front yard.
Arriving at the front yard, Li Qingluo first greeted Li Chaojing: "Luo'er greets father."
Although she was tortured to the point of being unable to live or die by the nanny sent by Zhuang Wei in her previous life, she did quickly learn the etiquette and manners that a lady from a noble family should have.
In this life, after Li Qingluo returned to the Li family, Old Madam Pei sent a nanny to give her informal guidance. She pretended to be learning by trial and error, but in fact, she had slowly picked up the skills she should have.
At this moment, even though Li Chaojing saw her again after some time, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised!
Why... does she seem to have changed a little?
Although his attire was still not very presentable, the etiquette and rules of greeting were not ambiguous.
Could it be that her mother's people have already taught her?
Moreover, why did she look a little whiter?
She no longer looked as ugly as before. It seemed that the wealth and comfort of the general's mansion had restored her complexion.
Although Li Chaojing felt a little disgusted and wary of Li Qingluo because of Li Qingzhu, as the head of the family, he had to consider the overall situation.
At this moment, Mrs. Pei also arrived.
Li Qingluo and Li Chaojing stood up together and hurriedly paid their respects to Madam Pei.
At the same time, Li Qingluo's heart suddenly began to beat wildly in panic.
As expected, it was difficult for the mother and son to get together, and this time Li Chaojing was willing to meet Li Qingluo because of the marriage with the Marquis of Zhongyi.
Madam Pei: "Luo'er, I'm sure you've heard about Zhuang Sanlang coming over and making a scene today, right?"
Li Qingluo lowered his head silently.
Seeing her like this, Li Chaojing felt it was very embarrassing.
But Madam Pei was determined to make the decision on this matter, so Li Chaojing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your grandmother asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"
