Li Qingluo accompanied her grandmother back to Jingci Hall.

After Old Madam Pei sat down, she asked her, "Tell me quickly, has Grandmother's decision about their fate been fulfilled as you wished?"

Li Qingluo smiled and squeezed her grandmother's hand. "Yes! You are wise and powerful, and you understand your granddaughter's thoughts very well."

Madam Pei raised her head proudly: "How could I not know you? You're so clever! You were so eager to hide yourself at the back at the beginning, but later you suddenly became interested. Isn't it because there's something about them that you care about?"

"So, grandma can't strangle them all!"

Li Qingluo explained to Madam Pei, "Grandmother, Aunt Deng and Li Yunchu must still have secrets."

Madam Pei: "Tell me about it."

Li Qingluo: "Old Aunt Deng has been accustomed to being the old lady on the farm. Would she be so willing and obedient as to agree to go to the temple for asceticism?"

"She doesn't dare to shout anymore. She must have some bigger secret that she has to hide, something we don't know about!"

"Also, Li Yunchu dared to reveal that Prince Yun was the mastermind behind the bandits, but she didn't dare to elaborate on her escape from the Lotus Cult. That's why my granddaughter has doubts and concerns."

"Grandmother, please help Luo'er send someone to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, if we don't detect and prevent them early, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the entire clan!"

Madam Pei was immediately shocked: "Is it so serious?"

What Li Qingluo feared was that the secret behind Li Yunchu might be related to the Lotus Cult!

Even if she is killed now, not only will the trouble never be eliminated, but the Lotus Cult will also hold a grudge against her.

By then, their general’s mansion will be in even greater trouble.

She didn't care about anyone else in the general's mansion.

But what about grandmother?

Her grandmother protected her, loved her, cared for her, knew her and understood her. There was no one in the world who treated her better than her grandmother.

Grandma is now the person she cares about most in this world.

She must also protect her grandmother!

Moreover, she has to provide for and support her grandmother until she is a hundred years old!

And there is Sister Huan. Since returning to Jinling, I have personally taught her how to write, and now I have developed some feelings for her.

With feelings, there are bonds.

Li Qingluo had to be careful and cautious.

In her previous life, she did not survive this winter.

Therefore, we know very little about the present world.

I have no clue about the Lotus Sect's movements...

Thinking of this, Li Qingluo felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

My previous life was truly lived in vain!

However, Li Qingluo understood one thing in his heart.

They must not get involved with the Lotus Sect!

The imperial court has been vigorously cracking down on the Lotus Sect. If Prince Su suddenly goes completely crazy and wants to eliminate it, and the general's mansion is involved with the Lotus Sect again, it will be difficult to explain.

Li Qingluo didn't want her grandmother to know about this, nor did she want her to worry about it.

She just smiled and said, "Grandma, maybe Luo'er is just worrying too much. It's better for us to be prepared than to be clueless."

Seeing how cautious she was, Mrs. Pei agreed.

"Alright. Leave her outside the mansion. If anyone cares about her, they'll come and take her away. Let's keep an eye on her and send someone to follow her. Then we'll find out what she's up to!"

Li Qingluo nodded hurriedly.

That's what she meant!

She wanted to test whether there was any other force behind Li Yunchu.

Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, what you did today is right. Especially Aunt Deng. If she hadn't been a demon, you wouldn't have suffered so much. If you really just let her become a nun, it would be a good thing for her."

"My granddaughter will wait until she reveals all her secrets, then I will punish her severely and avenge you!"

Madam Pei smiled and said, "Why would I bother with a lowly servant like her? Luo'er, you don't understand. Back then, she alone could not have angered me away."

"It's your grandfather, he's a piece of shit. He didn't let me down, and he and Aunt Deng had four illegitimate sons and daughters?"

"Without his connivance, his mother wouldn't have considered a concubine more important than me, the wife-in-law of the principal wife."

"And your father is also your grandfather's biological son. Because I look so much like him, I have suffered so much."

"Basically, it's all your grandfather's fault!"

"However, you really helped Grandma vent her anger today! You thought of Grandma so much and wanted to support her. Grandma thanks you."

Li Qingluo: "Grandma, this is what Luo'er should do. It's also the smallest way for Luo'er to repay you. Please don't be so polite to Luo'er in the future, okay?"

Madam Pei smiled and gently touched Li Qingluo's hair, sighing deeply: "Good!"

Then he asked her again: "Regarding Li Qingzhu's matter, do you have any opinion?"

"Tomorrow, are you going to give her a cup of poisoned wine, or a piece of white silk? Or, are you planning to give her another way to die?"

Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, regarding Li Qingzhu, can you spare her life for now?"

Madam Pei paused, a look of surprise and confusion on her face: "Luo'er?"

"You... do you know what you're saying? You're so kind, I'm afraid you'll end up hurting yourself in the future!"

Li Qingluo: "Grandma, Luo'er is not kind. Luo'er has other considerations."

Madam Pei suppressed her emotions. "Then tell me, what else do you have in mind? She's just a little bastard. She's enjoyed the glory of a general's family for so many years, all wealth and honor, and all the love and favor. Now, because of her, the reputation of the entire general's mansion has been completely destroyed. The general's mansion is being burned to the ground. She can only atone for her sin by committing suicide!"

Li Qingluo: "But Grandmother, you also said that she is not a direct descendant of our General's Mansion!"

Madam Pei paused: "What do you mean by that?"

Li Qingluo then spoke, "Grandmother, if Li Qingzhu died in the General's Mansion, to put it nicely, it would be suicide out of fear of punishment. To put it bluntly... could it be considered that we forced her to death?"

"If the Liu family spreads this news, will our General's Mansion be implicated?"

Madam Pei sneered, "How dare the Liu family! Back then, the General's Mansion didn't bother with the child exchange incident because of your foolish parents. Do they dare to come to Jinling City and cause trouble?"

Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, if the itinerary went as planned, the whole family should have arrived in Jinling in the next two days."

Madam Pei’s eyes widened instantly.

"It's you?"

Li Qingluo nodded slowly: "Yes. My granddaughter secretly sent people to lure them to Jinling City."

Li Qingluo did not hide anything from Mrs. Pei and told her everything he was thinking.

"If Li Qingzhu wants to be Prince Yun's favorite concubine, then let her do it. What rises high must fall hard, and what reaches its peak must decline."

"Even if she gets her wish and goes to Queen Yun's house, she will only be a concubine. No matter how favored she is, she will only be a concubine in the future."

"She has lost the support of the General's Mansion, and her future is hopeless."

"Whatever she wants in her heart, she will never get in this life."

"Moreover, Prince Yun is greedy and frivolous. Although he is cunning, his talent is shallow. He is conceited and arrogant. Although he holds a high position, he is far too mediocre compared to the other princes."

"My granddaughter is betting that he won't achieve anything great. I'm betting that Li Qingzhu will lose everything!"

In her previous life, she fell into Li Qingzhu's plan because of her ambition.

Li Qingluo’s death in the previous life was so insignificant.

He can't even become a stepping stone for Li Qingzhu.

So in this life, how could Li Qingzhu die so easily and be free?

Li Qingluo wanted her to watch helplessly how she, after gambled everything and gained everything, went step by step towards her own destruction.

Only by living can one live a life worse than death.

Only by staying alive can Li Qingluo's revenge be more satisfying!

Therefore, Li Qingluo had no intention of letting Li Qingzhu die now.

Madam Pei: "But what if you lose the bet? Luo'er, if Prince Yun comes..."

Li Qingluo: "Grandma, if I really lose, I will admit it."

Besides, Li Qingluo didn't think that Prince Yun would ascend to a high position in the future.

There is also a Prince Su in this world!

For some reason, she felt that if Prince Su was around, Prince Yun would never be able to make any waves, let alone reach that position.

Of course, if all this is lost, if Li Qingzhu can really turn the tide, she will accept her fate.

Even willing to die.

Madam Pei: "But as for the Liu family, are you so sure that they dare to cause trouble?"

"After all, if they dare to come again, I will not forgive them for the crime of swapping girls!"

"And your father, I see he's itching to kill his adopted daughter tonight. If you spare Li Qingzhu, how could he let it go?"

Li Qingluo: "Grandmother, if the Liu family goes to Nanjing, the worst that can happen is that old woman's life. If they insist that it was all done by old woman Liu who swapped daughters, and that they were completely unaware of it, then the whole family can be exonerated."

"But what she got was the status of a prince's concubine. This also fulfilled the Liu family's purpose of exchanging daughters. They were so bold back then, wasn't it just for the opportunity to one day ascend to heaven and enjoy wealth and glory for the whole family?"

"If they knew that Li Qingzhu had hooked up with Prince Yun, they would cling to her like leeches and never let go."

"And no matter how reluctant Li Qingzhu was in the past, she now has only two choices: one is to commit suicide out of fear of punishment in the General's Mansion. The other is to return to the Liu family and still have a chance to go to Prince Yun's Mansion alive."

"Grandma, what do you think she will decide?"

Li Qingzhu would definitely choose to live and then go to Prince Yun's mansion to be a concubine.

She had no other chance of survival.

Li Qingluo continued, "As for my father, he's a man who values ​​the family's reputation. Now that Li Qingzhu has been stripped of her status as the eldest daughter of the Li family, the family can publicly announce the truth about the daughter swap. Li Qingzhu will no longer be considered a member of the Li family. With this separation, the reputation of the General's Mansion will naturally be restored to some extent."

"This way, we'll avoid the Liu family's entanglement and sever ties with Li Qingzhu. He won't disagree."

She believed that her biological father would understand which one was the best choice for the General's Mansion.

Besides, whether Li Qingzhu is dead or alive, it is a troublesome matter for him.

Seeing Li Qingluo's resolute attitude, Mrs. Pei could only sigh.

"You! You look calm and composed, but in reality, you have more thoughts than a fox, and your opinions are bigger than the sky!"

"But Luo'er, you are so sensitive and thoughtful... What kind of suffering have you endured? How wronged are you that you would plot all this?"

Li Qingluo pursed her lips nervously and looked at Old Madam Pei: "Grandmother, do you think Luo'er is sinister and terrifying?"
