The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Nanny Zhang sighed, "He's still asleep and I can't wake him up. But fortunately, Doctor Du said he's not seriously injured."

Li Qingluo: "Grandma must be very tired, let her have a good sleep. How is your injury? Have Grandma Deng and the others returned?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I am fine."

"Madame Deng and the others were brought back by His Royal Highness Prince Su's guards in the middle of the night. My lady, you were tired yesterday, so we didn't wake you up."

Li Qingluo sat down beside Mrs. Pei's bed.

She reached out and held Madam Pei's hand, her eyes gloomy and sad.

"That's good. But we can't stay here for long. Grandma can't leave without Doctor Du right now. Should we wait until her condition stabilizes before leaving?"

Aunt Zhang: "Young lady, the old lady has entrusted everything to you last night. From now on, you will make all the decisions. You don't need to ask me. No matter what you want to do, I will obey you."

Li Qingluo quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no! Madam, everything that happened last night was a misunderstanding. Return that sign to Grandmother. When Grandmother wakes up, she will still be the head of Tianfeng Trading Company."

"But I'm still far from that. I still need my grandmother's teaching and training, and I need to grow and train."

Aunt Zhang was embarrassed: "But this..."

Li Qingluo: "It's settled."

"If one day I truly have the ability to take over Tianfeng Trading Company, I will definitely accept it without hesitation if Grandmother offers it to me. But right now, I simply am not qualified."

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "Young lady, you are joking. You are the most talented person I have ever met, besides the old lady. Whether in martial arts or business, you have the grace and elegance of the old lady in her youth."

"Given time, the young lady will surely achieve great success like the old lady did back then!"

"But since you are taking care of the old lady now, I will not force you."

"But there's one thing you can't shirk. You're the future heir to Tianfeng Trading Company, personally chosen by the old lady. Do you acknowledge this?"

Nanny Zhang stared at Li Qingluo with a smile.

Li Qingluo blushed.

She would be a fool not to accept this huge wealth.

Li Qingluo gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! I admit it! From now on, please give me more guidance and advice, Madam."

Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing.

"Girl, that's great! From now on, you will be our young master."

Li Qingluo still felt a little uneasy.

I know how much weight I am now.

It seems that she must grow up faster and be more humble in asking the maids for advice.

After discussing this, Li Qingluo naturally moved on to the most important point: "Mammy, regarding Grandmother's poisoning, do you recall anything unusual?"

Aunt Zhang: "I've been thinking about this all night. I was just thinking, the old lady's small kitchen, whether it's the ingredients or the cooking, is all done by us, how could it go wrong?"

"Doctor Du also said that the old lady had taken poison some time ago, but when exactly was that? This old servant is...really... Could it be that there is a bad seed among us?"

Li Qingluo: "Don't worry, think about it carefully. Is there anything different from usual these days?"

Nanny Zhang: "If there's anything different, there is one thing. The fresh vegetables and meat that the old lady used to eat were all sent from the farm she owned herself."

"But on the sixth day, the vegetables from the farm were not delivered in time."

"The steward came hurriedly to report that the farm had been robbed and all the chickens, ducks, and fish had been killed overnight. Also, a large amount of the vegetables had been destroyed."

"There's nothing we can do. Starting from the seventh day of the first lunar month, we can only send a very small amount to the manor... Could something have gone wrong at the farm?"

Li Qingluo: "What about you guys? Where have you and I at Hongfeng Pavilion been eating vegetables and meat recently?"

Aunt Zhang: "It was sent from the Li family farm!"

Li family?

Is this the farm where Aunt Deng lived before?

That farm provides vegetables and meat for the entire general's mansion, so if everyone eats the same thing, there might not be any problem.

But the problem is that grandma eats different food from them.

"Mammy, check!"

"We must find out what's going on as soon as possible!"

"If I ever find out who dared to murder my grandmother, I'll make him pay with blood!"

Li Qingluo knew that this matter must be related to Li Chaojing and Qu family!

They were clearly prepared that night to drag my grandmother to death.

If she said it had nothing to do with them, she would never believe it even if it cost her own life!

General's Mansion.

After leaving the court, Li Chaojing immediately asked the steward of the mansion whether he had found any trace of Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei.

The answer he got was naturally disappointing to him.

He was very angry and punished all the servants who did not perform their duties well.

"Not only are the people not found, but several others are missing. What are you doing for a living?"

"I can't even find a teenage girl and an old woman on the verge of death. I support a bunch of useless people like you, but you're worse than those old women, right?!"

The housekeeper came forward tremblingly: "Master, please calm down..."

Li Chaojing: "Go and call my wife!"

The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Madam, Madam went back to her parents' home early..."

Li Chaojing heard this and was filled with impatience: "Idiot, what are you going back for? All these messes in the mansion are caused by her, and she still doesn't know how to reflect on it!?"

"Go, hurry to the Qu family and bring her back to me!"

The butler hurriedly retreated: "Yes, it's Master..."

The housekeeper and the servants retreated, and Li Kechuan came over from the corridor in his wheelchair.

"Father."

Li Chaojing rubbed his brows. Seeing Li Kechuan coming, he couldn't calm down his anger at this moment: "Chuan'er, your sister is too unreasonable!"

"Her personality is just like your grandmother's – strong-willed and stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, she won't give in easily. She's truly difficult to deal with!"

"Look, a little girl like her actually took your grandmother, whose life or death is unknown, and ran away like that, disappearing without a trace! This is absolutely lawless!"

"Once I catch her, I will give her a good beating! Let her know what the rules are!"

Li Kechuan: "Then tell me...will Grandmother give her the thing you want?"

Li Chaojing: "What did you say?"

His expression changed, and he denied it vehemently: "Absolutely impossible! I am your grandmother's biological son! She is a girl after all. Is your grandmother crazy to give her to her?"

"What are you going to do with her? Are you going to give it to someone of the opposite sex? Your grandmother would only do such a thing if she's senile!"

Li Kechuan stared at Li Chaojing grimly and asked, "But father, you want to use this to force grandma to death. Don't you think grandma knows it?"

Li Chaojing shouted angrily, "Chuan'er! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Kechuan: "Although Father and Grandmother have always been at odds, I can see that you still have some affection for her in your heart."

"Why do you have to allow my mother to act like this just this time?"

Li Chaojing was surprised: "You...you know?"

Li Kechuan: "Ever since you discovered A'niang's plan, you've been acquiescing to it. So, do you really want Grandmother to die? Why? Because you want the money from Tianfeng Trading Company?"

"Father, what happened? Why don't you tell me?"

Li Chaojing's eyes gradually turned red.

He held onto the chair dejectedly and sat down.

"If your grandmother hadn't been so reluctant to give me those things, why would I have done such a cruel thing?"

"I do all this for the General's Mansion and for you!"

"Do you still remember that time when your father returned from the battlefield wounded? Your father actually...actually, he falsely claimed military merit!"

"The real hero was a lieutenant named Jiang. He unexpectedly struck gold with his strategy, turning the tide and helping Daliang win."

"But he won, and he had to gloat over it in front of me! He even said some... some boastful, sarcastic, provocative words that he deserved to be cut into pieces."

"He said that I owed my position as the General of the Cavalry to the protection and glory of my ancestors, especially your grandmother and grandfather. Otherwise, I would be nothing!"

"My father was young and impulsive at the time. In a fit of rage, he...accidentally killed him."

"Afterwards, in order to cover up the truth, I fabricated a scene where he accidentally knocked over a candlestick and a wine jar while drunk, and then set his body on fire..."

"I thought no one would know about this. So after returning to the capital, I took all the credit for the military achievement and from then on, I firmly established my position as the Great General."

"And that was also the time I used this merit to ask for a position in the military camp for you!"

Upon hearing this, the color on Li Kechuan's face gradually faded.

I never expected that the position of Major General, which I was once so proud of, was obtained in this way!

"Could it be that this matter suddenly became known to others, and someone threatened my father with something?"

Li Chaojing's face was filled with sorrow: "It's the Jiang family."

"I don't know why they suddenly produced that letter from Lieutenant General Jiang. It contains the details of the battle and strategy in which he falsely claimed military merit on behalf of my father. It's definitely in his handwriting!"

"If this letter were to be delivered to the Emperor, I, your father... would be finished, not only would our entire general's mansion be facing the scourge of confiscation and extermination of our entire clan!"

Li Kechuan's breathing could not help but tighten: "Father, what do the Jiang family want?"

Li Chaojing: "They asked for 500,000 taels of silver right away!"

"I'll pay them, and they'll hand over Vice General Jiang's handwritten letter to me. From then on, the money and goods will be paid, and this matter will be completely buried in the dust. Both families will no longer want to do anything about it! Our General's Mansion will be completely worry-free!"

Li Kechuan broke the armrest of the wheelchair with one hand: "How much? Five hundred thousand taels!? Our entire Li family... can't afford it..."

Li Chaojing closed his eyes and sighed, "Yes, even if we were the entire Li family, we wouldn't be able to come up with 100,000 taels of silver. How are we going to find the 500,000 taels of silver?"

"If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't have lost all conscience and humanity to plot against your grandmother!"

"After all, she is my biological mother!!"

Li Chaojing shed a few tears in grief.

"It shouldn't be difficult for your grandmother's Tianfeng Trading Company to come up with 500,000 taels."

"So...when I discovered that your mother had colluded with the Qu family to poison your grandmother, I..."

Li Kechuan: "But if I tell this to Grandmother, won't she take out the 500,000 taels of silver to save the entire Li family?"

Li Chaojing sneered, "Your grandmother? She'll definitely put justice above her own family and report my father to the emperor first."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a faint sound outside the door.

Li Chaojing grabbed his sword and lunged out: "Who—?"
