The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven
Chapter 224 The Cui family came to cancel the engagement and severely humiliated the entire general’
Li Qingluo knew that he couldn't escape this.
She had previously sworn to her grandmother that she would never contact Prince Su again, but now that she had broken that oath, she could only bite the bullet and reply, "Grandmother, His Royal Highness Prince Su has saved Luo'er several times. This time, Grandmother was poisoned and it was thanks to the doctors in His Royal Highness Prince Su's palace that she was able to escape death."
"Luo'er knows that His Highness is a dangerous person, and being around him is fraught with danger. However, Luo'er and him are truly just friends of gentlemen!"
Madam Pei: "Really?"
It wasn't that she didn't believe Luo'er's words.
But Madam Pei had her share of experience in the imperial court, so she knew very well how difficult it was to get along with someone like Prince Su, who had a bad and vicious reputation.
He is still a prince.
How did you fall in love with Luo'er and treat her so differently?
According to rumors, there is no other woman besides Princess Qinyu by the side of Prince Su.
Prince Su's feelings towards Luo'er are as simple and pure as Luo'er's feelings towards him. Is this the so-called friendship between gentlemen?
Mrs. Pei did not bring up these words, but sighed slightly when she met Luo'er's confused eyes.
"You, when will you finally understand?"
"Well, since I've been here for so long, I can't be rude. Why don't you arrange for us to have a meal with His Royal Highness Prince Su in the next two days?"
"Just consider it as a way to thank him for saving my life this time."
Li Qingluo smiled and replied, "Yes, Grandmother."
But she was wondering in her heart: His Royal Highness Prince Su is such a person who likes cleanliness, would he be willing to have a meal with the grandmother and granddaughter?
Never mind, just invite him first. If he doesn’t respond, it’s his business.
Madam Pei then continued, "Grandmother has just told Madam Zheng that we will move to her house in three days."
"Then we won't be going back to the General's Mansion! Are you willing?"
Li Qingluo nodded happily and said, "Grandma, I agree!"
"But Luo'er still has some things he hasn't taken away. But there's no rush, Luo'er will go back and get them next time."
Mrs. Pei gently touched Li Qingluo's face.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you, child. You're the eldest daughter of the general's family, but you can't return home."
Li Qingluo gently laid on Madam Pei's knees: "With grandma here, this is Luo'er's home."
Moreover, after moving out of the general's mansion, it would be more convenient for her to do things in the future.
Li Qingluo lowered his eyes, a ruthless light flashing in his eyes.
Li Kechuan, Li Chaojing, Qu family, Qu family, Liu Qingzhu.
She would settle the score with them immediately for killing Sui'er and poisoning her grandmother.
General's Mansion.
When Li Chaojing heard from his subordinates that there was still no trace of Madam Pei and Li Qingluo, he became furious and chopped up all the furniture in the room with a knife.
He knew that his rebellious daughter had not yet brought her mother's body back for funeral, so she must have tried to revive her.
Li Chaojing should have been happy.
But deep down I feel more fear.
I'm afraid his mother will hate her son even more.
Originally, if she died this time, and he took over Tianfeng Trading Company, it would be the most legitimate time for him.
But she is not dead yet!
If she is not dead, she will wake up. What I am going to do now will definitely chill her heart completely... Just like Chuan'er said, what should I do if she really leaves Tianfeng Trading Company and everything to Luo'er?
He couldn't really kill his own flesh and blood again, right?
Just when Li Chaojing was having a headache, the housekeeper rushed in in a hurry.
"Master, something bad has happened! Yes, it's the Cui family. The Cui family's chief steward and matchmaker have come to cancel the engagement!"
Li Chaojing's expression changed drastically: "What did you say!?"
When Li Chaojing hurried to the gate of the mansion, the Cui family's housekeeper had already piled up the betrothal gifts at the door.
Then he handed over the engagement letter and the newly copied letter of cancellation of engagement.
The housekeeper of the Cui Mansion said, "General Li, our eldest master has said that our Cui family has no marriage relationship with your general's mansion. Therefore, General Li, please be straightforward and sign this letter of annulment. From now on, your eldest son and our ninth daughter will have nothing to do with each other in terms of marriage. May our two families live in peace from now on!"
Li Chaojing rejected it outright: "No! Why should your Cui family cancel the engagement just because they want to? Don't we in the General's Mansion have any dignity?"
"Also, if your Cui family dislikes our Chuan'er's current situation, why didn't you come and cancel the engagement when Chuan'er broke his leg? I, Li, wouldn't say a word!"
"Now that you've done enough to save the Cui family's reputation, you're going to break off this engagement? I, Li, absolutely won't agree!"
Even though it was already dark.
Hearing the noise from the general's mansion, the people nearby immediately gathered around.
"Hurry up, there's something exciting going on in the General's Mansion."
"Oh my god, this is even more lively than the opera in the theater. It's happening every other day. Haha, run faster!"
The Cui Mansion's housekeeper sneered, "What? General Li, don't you know what happened today? It's not our Cui family who's treacherous. We've done our utmost to be kind and righteous! It's you, the Li Mansion, who's going too far!"
"If General Li still doesn't understand, why not just ask your eldest son what he has done?"
Li Chaojing was convinced that the Cui family was looking for an excuse to cancel the engagement, and because of the disappearance of Madam Pei and Li Qingluo in the past two days, he was always filled with anger.
So without a second thought, he waved his hand and said, "No need! This general's son, doesn't this general know him well?"
"He has become steady and reliable now, and will never do anything outrageous or wrong as you say."
"You, the Cui family, want to use his personal morality as an excuse to break off the engagement. This general will never believe it!"
The Cui Mansion's chief steward took a deep breath.
"General, you forced me to do this. Don't regret it later—"
Li Chaojing couldn't hide the sneer in his eyes and the corners of his lips: "Regret? You, the Cui family, are so impatient that you come here to cancel the engagement so late at night. This general wants to hear what happened that made you unable to wait even until tomorrow!"
"Since your Cui family was the first to be unkind, why should I talk about righteousness?"
The matchmaker was anxious: "General, let's go inside the palace and talk... After all, there are so many people listening."
Only then did Li Chaojing notice that the entrance to the mansion was once again crowded with people from the street.
His face suddenly turned black, and when he was about to waver in his idea of going into the mansion to tell about this matter, the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion suddenly grinned.
"Then the servant will tell you?"
The Cui family's housekeeper didn't give Li Chaojing any chance to regret and quickly said, "Today, my eldest wife took the ninth and eleventh daughters to Qingsong Temple to burn incense. Unfortunately, they ran into your eldest son and the fake legitimate daughter from before. They were talking affectionately together."
"It's nothing, after all, they used to be brother and sister. Even if they were a little too affectionate, our wife and the Ninth Miss wouldn't take it to heart."
"But just at that moment, one of your servants who had escaped from your house appeared again. General, can you guess who it is?"
"I heard that she was once a favored concubine of your eldest son, named 'Shanhu'."
"It's not surprising that my brother has a concubine, but what's surprising about it, General, do you know?"
"It's the concubine's face. It looks exactly like the fake legitimate daughter!"
"And it was from them that our Cui family learned that these two are actually blood sisters!"
"I heard from the maid that your eldest son kept calling out the name of the fake legitimate daughter when he slept with her every night... I'm afraid your eldest son and this fake legitimate daughter have been having an affair for a long time, right?!"
"Even if not, your eldest son must have had dirty and unspeakable thoughts about his former sister!"
"Such a coincidence, are you really unaware of it?"
"Your Li family has committed such an immoral and shameful act. Our Cui family will never tolerate it!"
"A man with such bad personal ethics and such a shameless character, our Cui family's daughter would never marry him, even if she had to become a nun in a Taoist temple!"
The Cui Mansion's chief steward flicked his sleeves after saying this, and turned around with a 'humph', appearing quite confident.
Li Chaojing covered his chest and retreated heavily!
Of course they knew exactly what Chuan'er felt for Liu Qingzhu!
When they caught Zhu'er having an affair with Prince Yun in Minglou, Chuan'er told them clearly what he was thinking. Li Chaojing knew at that time that this matter must not be known to the world!
Otherwise, the reputation of their entire general's mansion will never be cleared!
Li Chaojing was both ashamed and angry, his face flushed red. "You and your Cui family are making this up, slandering my General's Mansion!"
"Our General's Mansion has long severed ties with that woman, and the two of them will never meet in private again!"
"Your Cui family is really going to any lengths to cancel the engagement. You even throw dirty water on something like this to harm my Li family!"
"You are so shameless! Do you know that the young lady from the Liu family is now the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Yun? You can even slander her for such a thing! Be careful, I will report it to His Majesty and prove the innocence of my Li family!"
The Cui Mansion's housekeeper smiled and said, "General Li, please don't be so hasty. The concubine who escaped is now pregnant. Her belly looks like she's at least four months pregnant, if not five."
"They've already had a bastard child before they've even gotten married. If this gets out, won't your General's Mansion be bullying our Cui Mansion and humiliating our legitimate daughter?"
"Also, our Cui family came here today to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. Even His Royal Highness Prince Yun has no say in the marriage between our two families!"
"Even if the general reports to the emperor, it is our Cui family that has the right and evidence!"
"Come here, drop both the divorce agreement and the engagement letter in front of the general's mansion! If the general hasn't signed it when we come to retrieve the divorce agreement tomorrow, don't blame us, the Cui family, for turning completely against him and making this a public spectacle!"
Isn’t this enough to be everywhere in the city!?
"Let's go!" The Cui Mansion's chief steward led his men away in a mighty procession.
Li Chaojing's face turned pale and he couldn't stop the man. He turned around and stumbled into the mansion.
Li Chaojing felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
When he came to Lancang Courtyard and saw that his eldest son Li Kechuan was still leisurely sitting quietly in the yard watching the moon and enjoying the scenery with a sad expression on his face, his blood suddenly boiled and anger rose in his heart!
"Unfilial son!! What good deed did you do today?!"
