Several maids knelt silently in the corridor.

Li Qingluo was also kneeling among them. The shocking scars on his neck made Mrs. Pei feel a pang of pain when she saw it.

She was quite brave and dared to confront her brother with scissors. She was quite courageous.

"Luo'er, hurry up and get up! You are indeed not at fault in this matter."

Nanny Zhang went forward to support Li Qingluo, but Li Qingluo refused to get up.

She raised her head, looked at Mrs. Pei anxiously, and expressed her plea.

"Grandmother, although Cui'er is not mine, she at least served and cared for me for a few days. Today, she was implicated by me and the eldest young master took out his anger on her."

"It's just that, although she used to be close to my mother, she was only a third-class maid, so naturally no one would care about her life or death. But I beg Grandmother to help Luo'er and at least save Cui'er's life!"

Li Qingluo's sincere desire to save a maid moved Nanny Zhang and the others.

In this world, is there any other master who is willing to kneel down and beg for mercy for their worthless lives?

And they, master and servant, had only been together for a few days.

If you ask me how deep the feelings are, there definitely aren't any.

This shows how loyal and righteous Li Qingluo is.

Everyone's eyes were red as they looked at Madam Pei, waiting for her decision.

How could Mrs. Pei be such a cruel and heartless person?

What she values ​​most has always been friendship.

She asked Nanny Zhang to pull Li Qingluo up first, and then asked another Nanny to take her token and go to Li Kechuan's yard to bring Cui'er back.

"Don't worry, even though your father wants to let this matter go, grandma will definitely make the decision for you!"

Mrs. Pei wanted to support Li Qingluo in this matter. Not only was Li Kechuan's behavior extremely cruel and excessive, but Li Kechuan actually dared to run to her yard to cause trouble, which was tantamount to completely despising her as a grandmother. This made Mrs. Pei extremely angry!

In this family, no one really takes her seriously!

Old Madam Pei made a harsh statement, saying that if Li Kechuan did not show his attitude towards today's incident, there would be no need to hold Li Qingzhu's funeral.

After these words were spoken, although the whole family was very angry, they had no choice but to compromise.

Li Qingzhu is the jewel of the entire general's mansion, but in the eyes of Mrs. Pei, she is just a little bastard.

Although Madam Pei had just returned and had not been in charge of the General's Mansion for thirty years, it was obvious that Li Chaojing and his wife could not go against the principles of filial piety, so they could only order Li Kechuan to hand the person over quickly.

That night, Cui'er was sent back to Jingci Hall.

Although she suffered some minor injuries, fortunately her life was not in danger.

Moreover, perhaps to show her sincerity, Qu had Cui'er's indenture delivered to Jingci Hall as well.

"Madam said that the mansion has been busy these past two days and she really can't spare the energy to arrange the second young lady's affairs, so I would like to ask the old lady to help her with the arrangements."

"These are two pieces of cloth that Madam asked me to bring, along with some jewelry. They were all prepared long ago to be given to the second young lady."

"As for the rest, we will have to wait until this period of time is over before making detailed arrangements for the second young lady."

After saying this, Qu's people quickly slipped away, leaving behind two pieces of ordinary material with dull colors that even Madam Pei looked down upon, and a small box.

Mrs. Pei opened the small box. There were only two or three pieces of jewelry inside. Not to mention the old styles, it was obvious that they were worthless.

Mrs. Pei's face was so gloomy that ice could drip out of it.

"Even if we are sending away beggars, it shouldn't be so shabby!" Aunt Zhang muttered softly.

Madam Pei snorted and threw back the thing she was looking at.

"What a clueless idiot! Is that all the General's Mansion needs? This is her own flesh and blood! She hasn't felt any pain for over a decade, yet she only prepared this little shameful thing. It's truly shameful!"

Mrs. Pei originally planned to throw everyone away, but was stopped by Li Qingluo.

"Luo'er doesn't feel ashamed. These are the best things Luo'er has ever seen. Grandma, please leave them to Luo'er."

Li Qingluo did not lie.

When she was in the Liu family, she wore tattered coarse linen clothes that were almost covered with patches.

In the cold winter and the hot summer, I always wear the same two sets of clothes. It has always been a luxury to want a set that is suitable for the season or in good condition.

The two clean and simple clothes she was wearing now were the ones that Nanny Zhang had prepared for her to change into. They were the best clothes Li Qingluo had ever worn.

Nanny Zhang originally thought that since the journey was long, she should dress simply so as not to attract attention.

But I didn't expect that it would take so long and I still haven't given her a new set of clothes.

Mrs. Pei felt a little sad when she saw this.

However, she felt that she couldn't let the matter continue like this. If this girl's heart was filled with resentment towards her parents, it would not be good for her!

"Your parents... I'm afraid they haven't recovered from the grief of Li Qingzhu's tragic death yet, so... don't blame them. When your mother gets over her grief, she'll eventually see you and think of you. Then, won't she be so devoted to you? You're her only biological daughter."

Li Qingluo lowered his head and answered yes, but his heart was not disturbed at all by these words.

Grandma, no.

Even if Li Qingluo died, her biological father, mother and brother would not feel sad for her at all, let alone look at her even once.

She had already expected and even experienced the current carelessness.

In this life, at least there is Jingci Hall to shelter her from the wind and rain. The misery of the previous life...it is better not to mention it.

Li Kechuan was probably afraid that Li Qingzhu's funeral would really be obstructed by Old Madam Pei, and that something unexpected would happen that would make his beloved sister restless in death, so he gritted his teeth and took out some things as an apology to Li Qingluo.

His things were actually better than what Qu gave him.

It was a box of pearls that were not in very good condition.

"Even if you grind this stuff and use it on your face, it's already a bit worn out."

Nanny Zhang sighed with heartache, knowing that this family was completely perfunctory about the matter, and the look she gave Li Qingluo was even more distressing.

Li Qingluo didn't care.

In her previous life, she didn't even get these, so in this life, this is already a good start.

Besides, she would have her own uses for these things if she kept them.

After Li Qingluo thanked Madam Pei and the nanny, she took all these things and returned to her room.

When Mrs. Pei saw her leave, she asked Nanny Zhang to go and buy some good, young and bright-colored fabrics, as well as hair ornaments and pearl hairpins, all of which were the favorites of the young girls in Jinling City at that time.

"By the way, go to Xiangfangzhai tomorrow and buy a few boxes of Snow Muscle Pills and Cream, and give them to her!"
