After saying this, Guan covered her face and sobbed softly.

Li Qingluo and Nan Jia both looked incredulous.

"Is it, is there no hope? If we find that woman, maybe we can find an antidote?"

Guan: "This is the last hope for me and Jia'er's father. If we can capture that woman, and if she is willing to detoxify Jia'er, perhaps Jia'er can still be saved."

"But she's a figure in the martial arts world, traveling far and wide. Can we really find her by going to her master's sect? It seemed more like she was fleeing out of fear of punishment. If she continues to hide sincerely, Jia'er...what should Jia'er do?"

Guan sent Li Qingluo and Princess Nanping away to the second gate, and then went back to accompany Pei Nanjia with red eyes.

After the person was gone, Princess Nanping fell into Li Qingluo's arms and cried bitterly.

"Sister Nanjia is so pitiful, wuwuwu... Bah! That stinky Taoist priest is such a jerk. Why did he insist on keeping Sister Nanjia hanging for so many years, and yet still refuse to let her go? Now it's him who has brought Sister Nanjia to this state..."

"I'm going to kill him!"

"If he died in prison without anyone knowing, no one would know, right?"

"He's just a stinky Taoist priest, no one will care!"

Li Qingluo: "..."

She paused for a moment, then immediately advised Nan Jia, "Don't act rashly! Your Fifth Uncle must have had some dealings with Qing Yangzi."

Princess Nanping was surprised: "How...how do you know about the Fifth Uncle?"

Princess Nanping's eyes rolled around, and Li Qingluo looked at her helplessly: "My grandmother lived in Qingsong Temple for thirty years!"

Princess Nanping: "Oh..."

Li Qingluo sighed.

Princess Nanping's eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle Fifth! Sister Luo'er, my mother said that Uncle Fifth's mansion has many famous doctors, truly famous doctors!"

"He reportedly provided unlimited space and medicinal materials for the renowned doctors he found from all over the world to develop various medicines in exchange for their services. Each doctor was also allowed three months of travel each year. Even when these doctors needed to leave, they would always leave a few behind at the palace!"

"Sister Luo'er, should I ask Uncle Fifth Prince to send someone to take a look at Sister Nanjia?"

"But what if... he refuses because of Qingyangzi?"

"And he has always been cold and unkind..."

Li Qingluo: "Yes! Princess, you must ask for this! If your uncle, the Fifth Prince, agrees, perhaps this really will be Nan Jia's chance to survive. We can't give up any hope."

If he doesn't agree, Li Qingluo will definitely find a way to make him agree!

Nanping nodded seriously as if he had been entrusted with an important task.

The servant leading the way was still waiting for them. When the two were about to leave Pei Mansion immediately, the big maidservant beside Mrs. Pei Guogong caught up with them again.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, please stay."

"Your Highness, our wife would like to invite you to the main courtyard. Today, the girls in the mansion were ignorant and offended Your Highness, so our wife would like to ask the girls to apologize to you in person."

"Also, my wife owes Her Royal Highness some things, and I'd like to ask you to take them back to the Princess's residence today and pass them on to Her Royal Highness."

When Princess Nanping heard that those people wanted to apologize to her in person, how could she not go?

She pulled Li Qingluo and followed the maid away.

"Sister Luo'er, let's go take a look!"

Li Qingluo was somewhat confused. Would the Peiguo Mansion really embarrass the young lady in front of guests?

However, she was stopped at the main courtyard gate.

The maid looked at her with a fake smile, but with a respectful attitude: "Young lady, please stay. Our wife has some private words to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess first, and it is not convenient for others to hear. So please stay here for the time being and wait to be summoned before going in."

Nanping had already been taken away. She turned around to look at Li Qingluo and was about to say something when she was squeezed in by several maids.

Because Li Qingluo had never revealed her identity since she entered the Pei Mansion, it was obvious that they didn't want her, a person of unknown identity, to enter.

Li Qingluo naturally had no interest in going in and seeing any hypocritical apology.

She was just a little worried about Nanping.

However, thinking that Nanping was accompanied by a maidservant and nanny from the princess's mansion, Li Qingluo also looked at Que'er who was following behind her.

"No one should come out to summon us again. In that case, let's go."

After informing the gatekeeper of the main courtyard, Li Qingluo politely asked the maid to lead her out of Pei Mansion.

On the way to the second gate again, when passing by a garden archway, a maid with messy hair and untidy clothes suddenly rushed out in front of her, looking like a madman.

She was filled with terror. Seeing the unfamiliar face of Li Qingluo, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw. She rushed forward, knelt on the ground, grabbed the hem of Li Qingluo's skirt, and shouted: "Save me, save me... Miss, please save this servant——"

"This slave girl doesn't want to die—Ah!!"

Several vicious maids chased out, grabbed the maid's hair, and pushed her back hard.

But even though the maid's scalp was pulled and bleeding, and her hair was pulled out in clumps, she refused to let go of the hand that was holding Li Qingluo's skirt.

The maidservant let out a "Pooh" sound and came up to pry her fingers apart one by one, not caring whether she broke her fingers or not. The whole alley was filled with heart-wrenching screams.

"You lowly slave! How dare you run away? Where can you escape to in this house?"

"This good fortune you have today is your own choice, and it is your own destiny. Just accept your fate..."

Li Qingluo watched the woman being dragged away, and saw the hope in her eyes extinguished like a candle.

The screams were getting farther and farther away, and throughout the entire process, no one from the Pei family showed up, and no one cared whether it was appropriate for this to happen in front of an outsider like him.

The maid who led the way wiped the sweat from her forehead and kept glancing at Li Qingluo: "Miss, let's get out of here quickly."

Li Qingluo nodded. She knew that she had no right to be in charge of Pei family's affairs, so even though she felt very sympathetic towards the maid, she had no intention of interfering.

After walking a few steps, Li Qingluo signaled to Que'er, who enthusiastically stepped forward and took the opportunity to chat and stuffed a few taels of silver into Pu Su's pocket.

"Mammy, what happened just now? It was a terrifying scene. It scared our daughter. I hope she doesn't have nightmares when she goes home tonight."

The nanny was so panicked when she received the silver change that she wanted to return it. Que'er pushed her away a few times and simply stuffed it into her sleeve. The nanny then looked around in fear and pinched the silver, and finally put the silver safely in her pocket.

"This... I advise you two not to be curious about this matter. Just pretend that you didn't see or know anything about what happened today. Otherwise, you two might not be able to leave our Pei Mansion today..."

After saying that, the nanny looked around nervously a few times.

Li Qingluo: "Why can't we leave the Pei Mansion? Could it be that if we meddle in other people's affairs, we will be detained by you?"

The nanny jumped in shock when she heard that, and rushed over to cover Li Qingluo's mouth.

Que'er flashed forward and pushed her away.

"Be bold! Don't be rude!"

The maid stamped her feet anxiously: "Stop talking, both of you! This house is full of eyes, and I really want you to walk out alive!"

Que'er couldn't help but get a little nervous: "Why don't you lead the way?"

The three of them didn't delay any longer and hurried out.

Li Qingluo and Que'er looked at each other and stopped talking.

As soon as he walked out of the second door, Li Qingluo ran into someone head-on.

Pei Sanlang?

She glanced at the other person and quickly lowered her head. Pei Sanlang naturally saw her.

He was slightly stunned and stopped his hurried steps.

"Miss Li?"

Pei Sanlang called her.

There was a slight surprise in his eyes.

It was said that there was rebellion and chaos in the suburbs that day, and she was taken to the farm by Princess Qinyu for a few days.

Is she injured?

But seeing that she is safe and sound today, that person should be relieved.

The maid who led the way was a little surprised to see that the third young master actually recognized the girl.

"This old servant greets the Third Young Master. This..."

Pei Sanlang waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The nanny hurried away as if escaping, fearing that she would hear something more.

Li Qingluo: "Thank you, Third Young Master, for taking us, master and servant, out of the Pei Mansion."

Pei Sanlang guessed that she was here to see Pei Nanjia.

"Have you visited Twelve Lady?"

Li Qingluo nodded: "Yes, Third Young Master should have informed me that Nan Jia is so seriously ill."

If Li Qingluo had not come here in person today, he really would not have known about Nan Jia's affairs. If he knew about it later, he would definitely regret it.

Pei Sanlang sighed heavily. "I'm sorry, Twelve Lady's matter has been on my mind. I wanted to find a better doctor for her, or send someone to find the poison doctor to detoxify her, but there has been no news yet."

After a few words, Li Qingluo finally left Pei Mansion.

She looked back at the majestic gate of the Pei family and felt a chill all over her body.

"Third Young Master, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you have time, please go to the old Duke's courtyard and take a look."

After saying that, Li Qingluo took Que'er and left.

Pei Qinghong watched her carriage leave, then he remembered what she had just said and was suddenly shocked.

Could it be that my great-grandfather has gone crazy again?

His brows furrowed instantly, and he turned around and hurried into the mansion.

Only after getting on the road did Que'er finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Girl, this Pei family is too terrifying. It feels like there's always a gloomy pressure on my head, making it almost impossible to breathe."

Li Qingluo: "The Pei family is indeed very strange."

The nanny said there were eyes everywhere.

But who is watching these people?

She was concerned about her grandmother's wish and wondered when she would be able to fulfill it for her.

If she hadn't guessed, the maid would have run away from the old duke's yard.

If not, she would have said so much just now. Even if Pei Sanlang made a wasted trip, as long as the maid was not innocently abused, there would be no loss for Pei Sanlang.

After Li Qingluo returned to the general's mansion, he immediately went to Jingci Hall.

"Grandma, do you know a Dr. Luo? Luo'er wants him to treat Nan Jia's illness and detoxify her!"

Mrs. Pei was not surprised after hearing this, she just sighed deeply.

"Luo'er, do you know everything?"
