Li Qingluo: "Luo'er... I can't explain this to Grandmother right now, but please trust me. If nothing happens, that's all the better. But if something unexpected does happen, please ask Grandmother's people to help me keep an eye out for any unusual signs."

Old Madam Pei stared at Li Qingluo deeply, and her eyes became more and more profound.

Did this girl really just grow up in that valley?

If she really was a little girl who grew up in the mountains and had never seen the world, how could she know what the general's mansion was like and be able to predict that something unexpected would happen?

However, facing Mrs. Pei's inquiring gaze, Li Qingluo just nodded slightly, as if he really didn't intend to explain anything at this moment.

Madam Pei agreed to her wish and asked Madam Zhang to arrange for the staff to go out immediately.

Li family, in front of the general's mansion.

As the carriage slowly approached, everyone in the Li family made preparations to welcome it.

However, there was still one person missing from the crowd.

This person is none other than the fake daughter of the Li family, Li Qingzhu, the eldest daughter who is still publicly known as the legitimate daughter.

Li Chaojing frowned when he saw that his daughter, whom he usually cherished like a jewel, had not yet appeared. He whispered to his wife, "What's wrong with Zhu'er? If it was just her sister coming back, it would be fine. But knowing that Grandmother was coming, why is she being so petty and not coming out to greet her?"

The general's wife, Lady Qu, explained anxiously, "My dear, Zhu'er really didn't mean to disrespect her grandmother. It's because she's been feeling guilty and overly worried about Cao'er lately, so she suddenly developed a fever last night. Even now, she's still dazed and can't get up."

As she spoke, Qu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a look of heartache.

Li Kechuan snorted coldly, "What a troublemaker! If anything happens to Zhu'er, I won't let her go!"

Li Chaojing did not agree with his eldest son's words.

"What are you talking about? Your sister hasn't even entered the house yet!"

Li Kechuan: "She's already made Zhu'er sick before she even entered the house. If she's not a troublemaker, then who is? Father, if she gets into trouble with Zhu'er, I'll definitely kick her out of the house!"

Qu had never expected that her son would be so resistant to his own daughter.

She couldn't help but advise: "Chuan'er, Cao'er is your sister after all, you must not act like this!"

As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped.

Li Qingluo helped Madam Pei get off the carriage.

Li Chaojing stared at his mother, feeling mixed emotions.

After a long time, his gaze turned to the side, to the skinny, dark-skinned little girl.

His eyes trembled slightly.

That is...his own flesh and blood?

Two months ago, when they learned the truth, both he and Qu were unable to accept it for a while.

After all, one day, the daughter who had been raised by their side for more than ten years and brought up with care and love like a jewel was suddenly told that she was not their biological daughter.

And their own flesh and blood would actually be like this.

Li Chaojing felt extremely disappointed when he saw Li Qingluo's expression.

Qu was not much better, thinking to herself: Oh my God, no wonder Chuan'er has such a big opinion of Cao'er, how could this... be so crude and ordinary?

Compared with Zhu'er, there is a world of difference!

If Zhu'er is the bright moon in the sky, then she is indeed just a blade of grass by the roadside!

In this state, even if she went to serve in Zhu'er's courtyard, she would not be able to do the job as a servant.

Qu was greatly disappointed and heartbroken about this.

Why is Zhu'er not her biological daughter?

She wished this had never happened!

Li Qingluo couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw their eyes.

I didn't even notice the disappointment that I couldn't hide in my previous life.

No, maybe she noticed it, but in her previous life she felt inferior and ashamed about her appearance, so she chose to ignore their gazes.

But she is not born like this!

Isn't all this caused by Li Qingzhu's biological grandmother, who was driven by her selfish evil thoughts?

The old woman from the Liu family exchanged their lives.

Let Li Qingluo, instead of Li Qingzhu, suffer all the sufferings of the world.

If she hadn't worked all year round, if she hadn't served everyone in the Liu family like an ox or a horse for more than ten years, without ever having a full meal or a full night's sleep, how could she be in this state now?

If Li Qingzhu were to live her original life, she would definitely not be the precious, spoiled, noble and flawless person she is now.

There will be no icy skin, fair and charming beauty.

Li Qingluo hid his sneer in his heart and waited for Li Chaojing and others to come forward and meet Madam Pei first.

"Son, nice to meet you, mother. Thank you for the hard journey."

"Daughter-in-law Qu greets mother and respectfully welcomes her home."

"Grandson Li Kechuan greets grandmother."

In her previous life, when Li Qingluo came back, only Li Chaojing and Qu were waiting for her at the gate of the mansion; Li Kechuan never showed up.

Moreover, all the servants in the mansion came out to welcome him this time.

This must be because of the misfortune that happened to my grandmother.

Mrs. Pei just nodded coldly without even looking at Li Chaojing.

Li Chaojing felt down in his heart, but before he could say anything else, Madam Pei had already pushed Li Qingluo.

"Go, meet your parents and family."

Li Qingluo slowly stepped forward and said, "Luo'er greets father, mother, and the eldest master."

Qu forced a smile and took a half step forward: "Luo'er? But that's the name your grandmother gave you? Come back, just come back."

"Luo'er, just call Chuan'er 'brother'..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the inner courtyard.

Li Chaojing frowned and said in a low voice: "Go and see what happened? The old lady is returning home today, so we must not make any noise or cause any trouble!"

After saying that, Li Chaojing turned around and respectfully invited Madam Pei: "Mother, let's go inside and talk."

But before Madam Pei could even lift her foot, someone came running out of the inner courtyard in a panic.

"Master, Madam, Young Master, something bad has happened! It's the eldest daughter. She left a letter and then, she set herself on fire!!!"
