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

"He is a man of both literary and martial talents, and a handsome man. Although he is not the heir of our Duke's Mansion, he is deeply loved by our great-grandfather and has been raised by his side since childhood."

"Everything he learned was taught by his great-grandfather himself."

"My great grandfather had a violent temper, but he was the only one who had a kind heart towards me."

"He is also the only person who can still be close to my great-grandfather."

Pei Sanlang!

Li Qingluo has never forgotten this person.

That time at the charity cemetery, if I hadn't hidden him in the carriage, he would have been caught red-handed by Prince Su.

Unexpectedly, he would be his hope to get close to Duke Pei.

But this is even better, this person still owes her a favor, maybe she can really accomplish this!

Li Qingluo finally felt a little relieved.

"Then I'll have to trouble Nanjia to introduce me."

Pei Nanjia smiled: "What's the difficulty? My third brother has been coming to Siyuan every three to five days recently. If I remember correctly, he should be here today."

In the afternoon, Li Qing landed in the yard and showed Pei Nanjia his archery skills by drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

Pei Nanjia was surprised by her heroic demeanor when holding the bow and arrow.

Li Qingluo hit the bull's eye again, and Pei Nanjia jumped and shouted, clapping for her.

"Qing Luo, you are amazing! As expected, you are the type who makes a big splash when you do make a name for yourself."

"Those skills that ordinary women have are nothing at all. So what if you don't have them? You are you, and you truly live up to your reputation!"

Li Qingluo blushed when Pei Nanjia praised her.

But I was also very curious: "What do you mean by well-deserved reputation?"

Pei Nanjia's eyes rolled: "Some people say that you are a heroine!"

Before Li Qingluo understood what Pei Nanjia meant, a servant came to report, "Twelfth Miss, the Third Master just entered the mansion."

Pei Nanjia immediately pulled Li Qingluo away: "I'll take you to find my third brother!"

The scenery of Siyuan is unique and exquisite even in winter.

However, Siyuan is very small, unique and exquisite, with only three courtyards and five small courtyards.

Li Qingluo had been here for three days. There was only one yard. It looked like someone was living there, but the gate was closed all day long.

When passing by again, Pei Nanjia couldn't help but lighten his steps.

Li Qingluo was not one to meddle in other people's affairs, but when he smelled the aroma of medicine wafting from inside, he couldn't help but ask, "Who lives in there?"

On the second day after arriving, when Pei Nanjia took Li Qingluo to visit the garden, he told her not to go near that yard.

Li Qingluo didn't think much about it.

But it was obvious that there was another guest living inside.

And this guest is also ill.

Pei Nanjia raised a finger and waited until they were far away before saying, "He's a close friend of my third brother's. He's in extremely poor health and can't stand the slightest bit of wind or snow. He couldn't go out all winter, and he's been suffering from a fever for two months."

Li Qingluo: "Jinling isn't that cold, but the floor heating was already turned on two months ago?"

Besides, aren’t earth dragons only found in the north?

This Siyuan was built for this person?

But in the end, this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't worry about it.

Pei Nanjia took Li Qingluo to the front yard and met Pei Sanlang.

"Third brother! Let me introduce you to a good friend I made, Li Qingluo, the daughter of the Li family!"

Pei Sanlang was leaning sideways to listen to his subordinates talking. When he heard his cousin's voice, he turned his head and met Li Qingluo's gaze.

He looked at her deeply.

is her?

That day, in order to avoid Prince Su, he hid in her carriage.

She did not panic or scream like the other girls, and she hid him without even asking him a question.

And the reason he was able to escape successfully that time was entirely because of her.

Pei Sanlang didn't know that Twelve Niang had brought her to Siyuan.

But he did know that Twelve Niang had been very close to her recently.

Twelve Niang had mentioned this matter to him privately, fearing that her association with the daughter of the Li family would cause displeasure to the elders in the family.

Pei Qinghong said at the time, "When have you ever done anything that satisfied these people in the Second House and Second Courtyard? Just do what you want to do. You've already offended them anyway."

In fact, it was just because that person was her.

Otherwise, why would he encourage Twelve Niang to bring more criticism and blame at home.

Pei Qinghong remained calm, turning around and bowing before politely greeting her. "So it's Miss Li Er who's here. I didn't realize you were also in Siyuan. I'm sure my presence has offended you. If Jia'er has been inadequate in my hospitality, please forgive me."

Li Qingluo also turned aside to greet him: "Greetings, Mr. Pei San. Sorry to bother you."

They acted as if they were meeting for the first time, being polite and distant, not even daring to make eye contact.

Pei Nanjia looked between the two of them.

Do they really not know each other?

But where did Third Brother hear that Qing Luo was a unique female hero?

She touched her chin and squinted her eyes, feeling that there was something fishy between the two of them.

"Third brother, Qingluo, why are you being so polite? In terms of kinship, Qingluo is still our cousin! Qingluo, you should also call third brother cousin."

"So, let's forget about Miss Li and Mr. Pei. Wouldn't it be closer to call each other cousins?"

Pei Qinghong smiled generously: "Jiaer is right. Cousin Li!"

He called out to his sister first, and Li Qingluo could only bite the bullet and call out, "Cousin Pei."

Grandmother really wanted to recognize her as her own, so Li Qingluo didn't think there was anything wrong with shortening the distance.

It just so happened that there was originally a difference between men and women, and since they were cousins, no one could find fault with them even if they talked to each other.

Pei Nanjia didn't forget the important matter: "Oh, Third Brother! Actually, Qing Luo wants to find you for something, and I absolutely need your help!"

Pei Qinghong was a little surprised, and finally set his eyes on Li Qingluo's face.

"Oh? I don't know what it is, cousin, just tell me. If I can help you in any way, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Just consider it as a way to repay her for her help that day.

However, after the three of them sat in a quiet place and Li Qingluo told Pei Qinghong what had happened, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Given the state of Great Grandfather now, if you go to see him, you may not get the result you want."

Li Qingluo: "Duke, do you really hate my grandmother so much?"

Pei Qinghong shook his head: "No. In fact, he doesn't remember much anymore. Sometimes he's lucid, sometimes confused. If he's lucid, he'll occasionally mention my great-aunt's name... but I don't think that's out of hatred."

Li Qingluo's originally depressed heart suddenly warmed up again.

"Then can you take me to see him when he wakes up?"

Pei Qinghong: "But his moments of clarity are becoming less and less frequent. Moreover, when he becomes confused, he becomes extremely insane and violent."

"Now, even I can't get too close to you. Let alone others."

"Let me put it this way, Great Grandfather. If he hadn't taken medicine, he would have passed away years ago. But medicine is always toxic. He used it so strongly and harshly that he ended up in this state he's in now, half-human, half-ghost."

"If my cousin wants to see my great grandfather, let's not even talk about whether you can enter the courtyard. Even if you do, a young girl like you... would drive my great grandfather crazy and succumb to his blood-drinking disease the moment he sees you."
