Li Qingluo couldn't explain.

That she was reborn?

Because you died once, you know Li Qingzhu's plans?

She took this step today and used her grandmother's people, not only to have a strong witness when she would testify against Li Qingzhu in the future, but also because she really had no one to use!

Naturally, she couldn't tell anyone in the world about her rebirth.

After all, it is too bizarre and weird.

So, facing his grandmother's precarious trust, Li Qingluo turned around and slowly knelt down towards Old Madam Pei.

All he could say was, "Grandma, we were ambushed by bandits earlier, and Luo'er became suspicious."

"Let me be honest with you. I suspect it was my brother who did it."

Mrs. Pei said nothing.

Obviously, she also had such doubts in her heart!

Li Qingluo continued, "Ever since he'd met me, my brother has disliked me because of his preconceived notion of Li Qingzhu. He probably thought my appearance and temperament were too unbearable, unworthy of being the daughter of the Li family, his sister, so he wanted to destroy me first!"

Madam Pei: "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here?"

Although Mrs. Pei did not look down upon Li Kechuan's bearing and temper, he was, after all, the only legitimate son of the Li family and had his own bloodline.

Therefore, she did not want these two siblings to become enemies.

Li Qingluo continued, following Madam Pei's words, "Yes, what if my brother was also bewitched? I really don't want to think of my brother as such a vicious person. That's why I want someone to come back and keep an eye on the General's Mansion, hoping to find some clues."

"Because the bandits didn't succeed, Luo'er started to wonder if the person behind it would take further action. I never imagined that it would take until Li Qingzhu's self-immolation..."

Mrs. Pei may not believe everything Li Qingluo said.

However, apart from this explanation, I couldn't explain it myself. Could it be that she could really predict the future?

Maybe, all this is just a coincidence?

She was just a little more thoughtful, which was why Nanny Deng happened to encounter the incident at the back corner door.

Mrs. Pei then asked Li Qingluo to tell her what she thought about the matter of the back corner gate.

Li Qingluo: "The maid's identity is questionable, so we need to investigate secretly. As for the rest, I can't say for sure right now, so I dare not make random guesses."

Mrs. Pei nodded and looked at Li Qingluo deeply.

"You've clearly never lived in the inner house, but you're not stupid. I'll have someone continue investigating this matter, so just leave it alone for now."

Li Qingluo wanted to take care of it, but he didn't have the manpower, so he was very obedient and agreed without hesitation.

After Li Qing fell down, Mrs. Pei asked Nanny Zhang to tell her what she thought about the matter.

Aunt Zhang: "Old Madam, then I dare to speak out."

Madam Pei: "Speak, I won't punish you."

Aunt Zhang: "Do you think that maidservant could be that little bastard..."

Old Madam Pei glanced at Aunt Zhang sideways, as if to say: How dare you think that?

Aunt Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead and chuckled, "You said you wouldn't punish me."

Madam Pei: "Then please continue."

Nanny Zhang: "This old servant is just guessing. Didn't Nanny Deng say that she was escorted by several guards and her face was covered twice, both inside and outside. She was so pretentious and trying to cover up her crime. Could there be someone in this mansion who is even more shameful than her?"

"Besides, I don't believe she would do something as ruthless as self-immolation! If she really wants to die, why not hang herself with a rope? Burning to death would be so painful."

However, only by burning them to death, burning them beyond recognition, can their identities be concealed.

Madam Pei: "This is too unbelievable! Tell me, if she really faked her death, what was her purpose?"

Aunt Zhang: "What else could it be? To have our daughter hated by the whole family! You saw it today, the general, the lady, and the eldest son. They all looked at the daughter with eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive."

"Obviously, they all hate each other."

A cruel look flashed in Madam Pei's eyes: "If that's the case, this little bastard's mind is too vicious!"

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Poor Miss Luo, she has encountered such a vicious plot. It is really hard to escape from this quagmire. The rest of her life in this family..."

Madam Pei: "What? I'm back after all. Can they still skin her alive?!"

"In my opinion, if someone wants to turn their blood relatives against each other, they must do as that traitor wants!"

"If Luo'er were smart, she would win over her parents and brother, and make the family live in harmony. That bastard would regret it when he found out!"

Nanny Zhang nodded in agreement.

But in my heart I thought: Old Madam, you know that this family is full of hard-hearted people and stupid people. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been forced to leave in despair and go to Qingsong Temple!

It’s been thirty years since I left!

Madam Pei sighed again, "However, these are just random guesses between us, the master and the servant. We haven't really come to a conclusion about the identity of that maidservant or whether Li Qingzhu is really dead."

Aunt Zhang: "Old Madam is right. This is all just my own random guesses. I dare not say a single word of this again. If the general and the others hear it, I will be skinned alive."

Madam Pei: "Tell Madam Deng to continue to monitor the house and determine who owns it. Also, find out the identities of those guards. Are they from the General's Mansion or that house?"

Nanny Zhang agreed, turned around and hurried to take care of the matter.

Li Qingluo returned to the room, sat down and drank some water before he began to think about what happened today.

Li Qingzhu escaped from the back corner door, and she really chose a good time.

Today, when her grandmother and she returned home, almost all the servants of the Li family were waiting in the front yard to greet them, except for a very few who were busy working in the house.

Li Qingzhu must have planned this for a long time, so he was able to divert the few remaining eyes and escape completely.

The one who died for her was Bi'er, her personal maid who had been with her for more than ten years.

And the guards who were waiting for her outside must be Prince Yun's men.

This Li Qingzhu must have had a secret connection with Prince Yun for a long time.

It remains to be seen whether they have a personal relationship or are simply seeking profit.

Also, there must be at least one person in the Li family who worked together with Li Qingzhu to accomplish this!

Who could this person be?
