Mrs. Pei's heart softened immediately.

She thought about her destiny in this life.

Back then, she was obsessed with marrying that young man, but did he really have her in his heart?

She charged into battle, risked her life to help him, and even went to the border to save his life.

But has anyone in the entire Li family ever thanked her?

When she left the general's mansion, she was disheartened, not just because her only son made her heartbroken.

The entire Li family, and even her husband, made her extremely tired.

They had been in love before, and no matter if it was true or false, he had betrayed her true love back then...

She went to Qingsong Temple for many years. How many times had he been there before his death?

Even though he asked her to come down the mountain every time, didn't he become impatient over time?

Even later on, the couple sometimes didn't see each other once a year.

Her third brother was trapped in the enemy camp because she wanted to save her husband first...

All of this was because she didn't know the right person and married the wrong person.

Did she really want Luo'er to marry a man who didn't have her in his heart at all?

"Good boy, but your marriage...can't be delayed any longer! According to our Daliang laws, unmarried women over 20, except those who delay due to mourning, will be forced to marry by the government!"

"When the time comes, are you going to marry someone randomly?"

She is seventeen years old this year.

Which seventeen-year-old girl in Jinling City has not yet been engaged?

Li Qingluo: "Grandma, there are still three years left! Before then, I will definitely find a satisfactory husband for myself! Even if I can't find one, I can just cut my hair and become a nun, right?"

Madam Pei rolled her eyes at her: "How dare you!"

Whether it is a Taoist temple or a nunnery, the taste of hardship is really too long!

Old Madam Pei couldn't bear to see her granddaughter, who was as delicate as a flower, become a female Taoist priest or a little nun.

She sighed, "Forget it! Since you really don't want to, Grandmother won't force you. It's just a marriage, isn't it? We really shouldn't pick up what Li Qingzhu doesn't want. Why bother eating her leftovers?"

"You're right. We still have three years. Grandmother will find you a good husband!"

When Li Qingluo heard her grandmother say this, she almost jumped up with joy.

"Grandma, you're so kind! You're truly Luo'er's good grandmother!"

Li Qingluo happily leaned her head on Madam Pei's shoulder and acted coquettishly, which made Madam Pei smile.

But she quickly remembered something else: "Grandma, I'm afraid my parents will be furious with what I did this time. I beg you to help me..."

Madam Pei snorted, "Are you scared now? Your father is probably pinning half of his hopes for the family's future glory on you."

"Nowadays, if there is anything good in the mansion, he will think of giving it to you at Hongfeng Pavilion."

"What is it about him that I don't know?"

"After your brother was crippled, the future of the General's Mansion was almost ruined. If you could marry into a good family, and Li Kechuan gave birth to another legitimate grandson, this family would have a chance to rise again... But you ruined his wish."

"I can ask him to stop interfering in your marriage from now on."

"But you acted impulsively this time, Luo'er. You should bear the consequences of his wrath. You should learn not to act so recklessly!"

Madam Pei was still cruel and planned to let Li Qingluo learn a lesson and pay the price herself, so she ruthlessly sent her back to the Red Maple Pavilion.

Li Qingluo was not disappointed that Mrs. Pei no longer protected her.

She had offended the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion today, and she had already prepared herself to bear the corresponding consequences.

Therefore, she was very satisfied that her grandmother could agree to let her biological parents stop interfering in her marriage.

Red Maple Pavilion.

As soon as Li Qingluo entered the yard, she saw Li Chaojing standing under the tree waiting for her.

This was the first time he had set foot in this yard.

Turning around and seeing Li Qingluo coming back, Li Chaojing turned around and walked over, raised his hand and slapped Li Qingluo hard!

"Ah!"

"Master—how could you hit a girl?"

Nanny Deng and Que'er rushed forward with panic on their faces and hugged Li Qingluo tightly.

Li Chaojing: "Since she is my blood, I can fight her if I want. Do I need a reason?!"

Li Qingluo raised his hand and wiped away the blood that was slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Both father and daughter stared at each other with cruel and cold eyes.

She was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.

He wanted to intimidate her with his father's power.

But he had never loved her at all, so how could she respect and love him now?

The father is not like a father.

Female is not female.

Li Qingluo sneered, "Father is so arrogant. I wonder what I did wrong to make you so angry!"

Li Chaojing pointed at Li Qingluo and cursed, "You unkind and unfilial daughter! Don't think you can ruin this marriage with your own hands. No way!"

"You have to marry me, even if you don't want to! Humph!"

He flicked his sleeves and strode away. Li Qingluo turned around to look at his back, narrowing her eyes deeply.

He said it, but it doesn't count.

By the evening, half of Li Qingluo's face was swollen like a steamed bun.

Que'er and Cui'er both cried with red eyes due to heartache.

Apply ice and medicine.

Apply ice again...

Apply the medicine again...

Li Qingluo didn't let Madam Deng go to Jingci Hall to tell her grandmother, because her grandmother had already expected this to happen.

"Miss, I heard that the master has sent an invitation to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, saying that he will personally visit them tomorrow...Isn't he going to propose to you himself?"

Li Qingluo clenched his fists. "Even if he wants to go, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion may not want to see him."

Originally, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion was not very interested in this marriage.

Since she came back until Li Qingzhu came back, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion has been indecisive and has not made up its mind about this matter. Isn't that just hesitation?

But the General's Mansion itself is still trying to curry favor with them.

Li Qingluo: "What's going on in Ziwei Hall these past two days?"

Cui'er said, "Luying said that Li Qingzhu used to cry all day long, but after you met the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi today, she suddenly calmed down."

Li Qingluo: "Keep an eye on her. After this blow, she'll definitely be unable to contain herself and take some action."

Li Qingluo also treated the marriage she didn't want as a piece of worn-out shoe.

She had planned for so long, and obtained it easily in her previous life, but it was all disrupted by Li Qingluo in this life, and now she has even been completely disliked by Prince Yun.

But would Li Qingzhu really give up so easily everything she had worked so hard for and even faked her own death?

Sure enough, later in the evening, Luying delivered another message.

"Miss, Li Qingzhu delivered a letter to Aunt Deng, and Aunt Deng's people delivered it to her overnight."

Send the letter overnight?

So impatient!

Li Qingluo asked Madam Deng, "Where is she going to deliver the letter so late at night?"

Madam Deng: "I have someone watching. It's already midnight, young lady, please don't wait any longer. I will tell you when there is news."

Only then did Li Qingluo fall asleep.

The next day, at daybreak, Madam Deng came over and said, "Young lady, the letter has been sent to Prince Yun's mansion."

Aunt Deng: "Our people intercepted Aunt Deng's men, knocked them unconscious, and copied the contents back. Please review it, young lady!"

Li Qingluo took it quickly. The letter described how heartbroken Li Qingzhu was, how much she regretted and missed His Royal Highness Prince Yun, and she admitted her mistakes repeatedly, saying that she had been punished. If His Royal Highness was disgusted with her, she asked for another chance to meet and talk things out.

If there is no fate, she will cut off all feelings and never get entangled again.

The time is scheduled for this afternoon in the Minglou Elegant Room.

Li Qingluo confirmed that the letter had indeed been delivered to Prince Yun's Mansion, and couldn't help but smile: "This is the day I've been waiting for!"

She threw back the quilt and quickly got out of bed. She hesitated for a moment after picking up the pen and quickly wrote a few letters.

"Mammy, this is a letter for my father. He's going to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence today, but he's sure to return disappointed. I'm using this letter to lure him to Minglou."

"And this letter, to my mother, Qu."

"This letter is for Li Kechuan."

"This letter is for Shozaburo."

"The letter must be delivered to them without anyone noticing."

Aunt Deng excitedly held out her hands to take it all: "Yes, young lady!"

Que'er couldn't help but be curious: "Girl, what do you want to do?"

Li Qingluo: "It's time to clear my name."
