Chapter 207 Murder!
Oh no, I completely forgot about Liu'er!
Lu Qingqing turned around and saw Liu'er squatting on the ground, covering her head and screaming incessantly.
This reaction is too strong; it doesn't seem like someone who was simply frightened.
Lu Qingqing quickly led her to the back of the rocky mountain, away from the corpse.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"It's biting me...it's biting me, chasing me, chasing me nonstop..." Liu'er cried out in fear.
Lu Qingqing inserted a needle into her Baihui acupoint.
"Who's chasing you? I'll chase him away."
Liu'er's eyes began to glaze over, her fear lessened somewhat, but she was still trembling all over.
“A leopard, a leopard… He said the leopard was in heat, chased after me, and mistook me for a female leopard…”
Holy shit!
Lu Qingqing cursed inwardly again!
No wonder Liu'er was driven mad and made to forget everything!
"Who is he? Who is that bastard?!"
"He...he...the palace, His Highness the Crown Prince...Your Majesty, save me...Husband, save me..."
Liu'er's pupils were dilated and she was having difficulty breathing, so Lu Qingqing quickly pushed the needle in another half inch.
"Go to sleep. I killed that leopard. Don't be afraid." Lu Qingqing's eyes were icy.
The Imperial Palace.
The Crown Prince.
Empress.
Just as Mu Daye said, they were not people they could touch.
Liu'er, it turns out to be...
Mu Daye, I salute you once again for being a true man.
They actually managed to rescue Liu'er from the capital, saving her from the depths of hell.
But the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is already dead.
According to the proclamation, the Crown Prince is ambitious and fond of grand achievements, deceiving the world and stealing fame, committing adultery with officials' wives, and deceiving the world.
The emperor was so angry that he fell ill and never recovered.
The Empress, filled with shame, attempted suicide but was rescued. She later requested to have her title revoked and was sent to the Cold Palace.
All the previous praise for the crown prince turned against him, becoming evidence that he was deceiving the world, stealing fame, and taking credit for others.
Those who once stood in the light have fallen to the mud that everyone tramples on and despises.
The person whose merits were stolen and who was suppressed in the darkness was the Ninth Prince, who had been out of favor and bullied by the Crown Prince for more than ten years.
The new crown prince.
Lu Qingqing had never paid attention to these things before, because they were irrelevant to ordinary people living at the bottom of society.
Now, she couldn't help but ponder.
Mother said that the Crown Prince is a benevolent and righteous heir apparent.
Can a kind person grow up to be so cruel?
She didn't quite believe it.
Moreover, the fact that Liu'er was left naked on the street that night was undoubtedly an attempt to make the matter known to everyone.
If the Crown Prince did this, and instead of hiding it, he's courting death?
But Liu'er said the Crown Prince...
Perhaps, we can only figure this out once Liu'er wakes up.
Also, Liu'er really does have a husband.
Who is her husband?
She had never paid much attention to these things when she heard people talking about them on the street before.
He must be someone of high rank and power, otherwise how could he be qualified to enter the palace?
We'll talk about that later.
Lu Qingqing put Liu'er down and quickly went to deal with the body.
...
Li Meng walked very fast, and Qiaoxiu had to jog to keep up.
The front door of Xiao Zhang's house was ajar, and there could be whispering sounds coming from inside.
As soon as Li Meng entered the house, she bolted and locked the door.
"Hey? Sister Li Meng, I'm still behind!" Qiaoxiu called out.
Didn't you see her?
But no matter how much she called out, she couldn't hear her.
Qiaoxiu knocked on the door, and after a while she heard a man and a woman shouting and cursing from inside.
Someone broke into the house!
"Sister Li Meng, Sister Li Meng, are you alright?"
Qiaoxiu was so anxious that she wanted to climb the wall.
But she didn't have Lu Qingqing's skills, and the wall of the Zhang family's house was built very high. She jumped several times, like a flea jumping over a big tree, but she couldn't get up at all!
"Uncle Crow, Uncle Crow—"
Qiaoxiu ran to Li Laogua's house, only to find the door locked tight.
What's going on! Uncle Crow has been squatting at the door for the past two days, worried that something might have happened to his daughter's family!
Now all three of them, father and sons, are gone!
Qiaoxiu had no choice but to call someone else.
Xiao Zhang's home had now become a murder scene.
Li Meng, wielding a wood-chopping axe, her eyes bloodshot, frantically chased after the four people.
Her two older brothers and sister-in-law!
"You're insane! You're a lunatic! Li Meng, do you really think Xiao Zhang will come back alive? It's been six days, stop dreaming!"
Yes, it's been six days already.
Xiao Zhang once said that the depths of that mountain were terrifying, and he only dared to look for lone wild animals on the outskirts.
If I could come back, I would have come back long ago.
So what is she afraid of?
What is she still enduring?
Li Meng's axe slammed into the thick table, embedding itself five centimeters into the surface.
Several people were frightened.
They've gone mad, they've really gone mad!
The four of them stopped searching and tried to run away with the silver they found, but the gate was already locked!
Li Meng pulled out her axe and charged forward again.
"You son of a bitch! Li Meng, you little slut, I don't believe you'd dare kill someone!"
Li Zhi picked up a wooden stick and used it to deflect the axe that was coming at him.
With a "crack," the wooden stick snapped in two, and the axe swung just past Li Zhi's face, slicing off one of his ears.
"ah--"
"ah--"
Screams, screams, and the barking of puppies echoed through the courtyard.
"Li Meng, you're finished, you're finished! You cut off your older brother's ear! I'm going to make you pay back all your money!" Li Zhi's wife, Pang, screamed shrilly.
"Fine, I'd even give my life for it." Li Meng laughed, and swung her axe again.
Just when everyone thought she had impulsively caused a huge disaster and should be dumbfounded, Li Meng swung her axe again and chopped off Pang's hand that was holding the silver!
Amidst the piercing screams, Li Meng's voice was drowned out:
“Sister-in-law, I remember the first time Liang Youtian beat me, my crotch was covered in black marks. I went home and showed them to you, begging you to ask my brother to stand up for me, but you said it was just marital fun. How pretentious.”
At that time, I was in so much pain that my bones felt like they were about to crack.
"I'm only cutting off one of your hands, it shouldn't hurt much, right?"
Everyone finally realized that Li Meng wasn't just bluffing.
The second son, Li Man, and Lu Shi were terrified. They started banging on the door with things, while also carrying a bundle of things they had rummaged through the house.
“Li Meng, you can’t do this! Your family is struggling financially, and you and Xiao Zhang are doing well. What’s wrong with helping out a little? But you’re not giving us anything, and you won’t even let us in the door!” Madam Lu accused.
"Why should I give it to you? What have you ever given me? When I was dying, you wouldn't even let me in the door!"
Now you want to push me into that hellhole, Lu family, you deserve to die too!!
Li Meng swung his axe at it.
Mrs. Lu yelled and used her bundle to block the way.
The bundle tore open, and the fur clothing inside scattered all over the floor.
"Murder! Murder! Help!"
Disorganized footsteps and shouts could be heard outside.
"Mengmeng, open the door! It's Daddy! Open the door quickly, don't do anything foolish!"
