The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Only then did the maid realize that her master was unhappy.

He replied apprehensively, "Yes... there is a bit of you, young lady."

But, do you still have the nerve to ask this?

Isn't it a shame for a brother to favor a concubine who looks like a sister?

The maidservant couldn't help but feel contempt and disgust in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Li Qingzhu was indeed very angry!

But what made her angry was that Li Kechuan was so dishonest!

Is it true that he no longer has me in his eyes?

I suddenly felt aggrieved and quite jealous.

She stood up angrily and planned to go to Lancang Courtyard to take a look.

But as soon as she entered the yard, Li Kechuan called out excitedly, "Shanhu! Come here quickly!"

Li Qingzhu suddenly stood there stiffly.

She yelled blankly: "Brother... I, I am Zhu'er..."

Li Qingzhu's tears rolled down.

She was actually mistaken for someone else by my brother?

At this moment, shame, humiliation, and anger all surged into Li Qingzhu's heart.

A hint of discomfort flashed across Li Kechuan's face.

"Brother, you must have made a mistake. Zhu'er, why are you here so late?"

Li Qingzhu suppressed her anger and asked, "What about my brother? I heard that my brother is looking for a beloved concubine. Is he so fond of her?"

That damn Coral, if she were to catch her, she would definitely tear her skin off!

See how she uses her face to seduce her brother!

Li Kechuan said, "She's just a bitch. I just don't want anyone to disappear innocently under my nose. I don't mean anything else."

is it?

But the entire Lancang Courtyard is full of servants busy looking for people. They are not sleeping in the middle of the night and they all want to turn the whole house upside down. Is there any other meaning to this?

Li Qingzhu returned to her Ziwei Hall in a daze and sat in the room for a long time, her heart broken into pieces by the grievances.

How could she not understand what was going on?

There is a new person in the prince's room.

It seems that Sanlang has no choice but to be betrothed to Li Qing sooner or later.

Now, even her brother, who she felt most confident in, who only had eyes for her and would never abandon her, had someone else by his side!

In the past, how high and mighty, noble and honorable was she, Li Qingzhu?

Among all the noble ladies in Jinling City, she is definitely one of them!

She was also very comfortable with Prince Yun, Zhuang Sanlang and her brother, and was confident that she could easily control their hearts.

But now... just because she is not the general's biological daughter, everyone has changed.

Li Qingzhu cried so hard all night that she couldn't get up the next day.

She had a minor illness, which made Li Kechuan anxious and he stopped talking about looking for Shanhu.

On this side, Li Qingluo treated everything about Li Qingzhu as a joke.

"The best is yet to come."

However, she was not in a hurry to fight with Li Qingzhu right now.

She is going out today.

The shop my grandmother gave me is just off Zhengyang Street.

Logically speaking, the shop has a good location, with the main street on one side and the Qinhuai River on the other, so opening a teahouse business would not be bad.

But Li Qingluo had taken a look there last time, and the business of that teahouse was indeed not that good.

After the massacre by the Lotus Sect and Prince Yun's guards, the elegant rooms on the third floor of the teahouse were almost completely destroyed.

When Li Qingluo came today, the bloodstains had just been cleaned up.

When I walked in, I could smell a faint smell of blood.

Que'er almost vomited, and Li Qingluo also covered her nose gently.

The doors and windows are still damaged and have not been repaired in time.

In order to reopen, the teahouse must be renovated first before it can be open to the public again.

However, Li Qingluo only has 500 taels of silver in his private treasury now, so if he wants to repair it, he will have to spend a large sum of money.

She wanted to look at the teahouse's account book first.

Madam Deng took out her token and showed it to the shopkeeper. Then she took out the shop deed and said, "From now on, young lady, you are the owner of this teahouse. Shopkeeper, go get the account book."

The shopkeeper did not dare to doubt and immediately went to get the account book.

In fact, Li Qingluo had never learned how to read the account books.

So, she could only glance through it first, and then she found out at the end that the teahouse had long been running out of money.

She frowned slightly, knowing one thing: "I can't do the teahouse business anymore."

Que'er asked curiously, "What kind of business does that girl want to do?"

Li Qingluo: "Let me think about it. But no matter what it is, let's fix up the room first. And the smell in this building, use some incense every day and open the windows for ventilation. The smell will dissipate within three days."

"Boss, put up the sign that says 'Closed for renovations, reopening at a later date.'"

Shopkeeper: "Yes, boss."

Li Qingluo looked at Madam Deng and asked, "Have you arranged for Mei Shuang to stay with Liu Sui'er?"

Aunt Deng: "Yes, young lady, Mei Shuang has been waiting for you to assign her some work. Do you want her to come here?"

Li Qingluo: "Wait a little longer. I want to go to my grandmother and borrow a skilled nanny to teach her some self-defense techniques. If she goes out to do things, she won't be able to move freely without the ability to defend herself."

Matron Deng smiled and said, "Young lady, you're joking. You can have as many maids and servants as you want from the old lady. You don't have to borrow them yourself. When I return, I'll go directly to Jingci Hall to ask for them."

"Also, the token the old lady gave you wasn't meant for you to throw in a corner and gather dust. Young lady, you should find more uses for it!"

Li Qingluo smiled and said, "Okay."

Before leaving the teahouse, Li Qing stopped by the window and looked down into the Qinhuai River.

She saw a tall girl paddling a boat and selling the chrysanthemums and tangerines in the boat.

"Is it her?" Li Qingluo asked.

Aunt Deng: "That's her. She knew the young lady was coming to see her today, so she changed her clothes."

But there were still one or two patches on the hem of her clothes, which showed how poor and difficult her life was.

"She does look very nice. I've asked her, is she willing to be my concubine?"

Matron Deng sighed, "Of course I agree. Miss, do you remember what I told you about her engagement? The man was actually her aunt's cousin, the only son in the family. After her cousin and her parents passed away, she took care of her sick aunt and uncle."

"I heard that the family had some savings. But the medication they've been using up all of their savings over the past few years."

"Being a concubine in the general's mansion is at least a good status. Besides, I won't have to live in such a tight financial situation anymore."

Li Qingluo nodded: "Then you should arrange it so that she and my father have a memorable encounter."

Since he was out for a trip, Li Qingluo prepared to buy some cakes for his grandmother.

Just as the carriage stopped and Que'er was about to get off, a strong man suddenly rushed out and stopped them.

"Miss Li Er, our master would like to see you. Could you please grant him a visit?"
