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

Yang Qinwu was silent for a long moment before he answered, "Miss Li, do you know that almost all the palace maids and eunuchs who were on duty outside Zhaohua Palace that night have disappeared?"

Li Qingluo was shocked. "What do you mean they all disappeared? Did they die or were they transferred out of Zhaohua Palace?"

Yang Qinwu: "A few days ago, I found a female corpse in a dry well."

"The deceased happened to be Cuixiang, the young palace maid who was on duty by the lake outside Zhaohua Palace that night."

Li Qingluo waited for Yang Qinwu to continue.

This person did not disappoint her and continued to talk about the clues he had discovered: "Not only that, there have been several murders discovered in the palace recently. They all looked like accidents, but the victims were all palace servants who were on duty outside Zhaohua Palace that night."

Li Qingluo: "What a coincidence? Could someone have killed them to silence them? Who could it be?"

Yang Qinwu shook his head.

"This incident has been giving me a real headache lately. His Majesty has already noticed something is amiss and has had our Royal Guards increase patrols to ensure this doesn't happen again."

Li Qingluo was puzzled. "Since so many people died in the palace, why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Su from the Dali Temple come into the palace to investigate? Did he just ask your Imperial Guards to increase patrols?"

Yang Qinwu stared at Li Qingluo with a very strange look.

"Miss Li, don't you know? His Majesty does not allow His Royal Highness Prince Su to enter the palace to investigate the case."

"Although His Royal Highness Prince Su holds the position of Dali Temple Minister and can even investigate all cases in the world, all cases in the palace can only be investigated by the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple cannot review them."

Li Qingluo really didn't know about this!

She was extremely shocked. Yang Qinwu then said, "It's strange, though. This time... Your Majesty didn't even notify the Ministry of Justice to investigate. It's as if he'd rather believe that these palace maids died by accident and coincidence."

Li Qingluo: What if it was the emperor who did it?

Or maybe something touched his interests, so he turned a blind eye.

Li Qingluo: "Then, Lord Yang, do you know anything else? You weren't on duty nearby that night, so you didn't see anything?"

Yang Qinwu shook his head. "I'm sorry. I wasn't outside Zhaohua Palace when this happened that night. But my colleagues were on duty that night. If you really want to know, I can ask for you."

After saying this, Yang Qinwu had nothing else to say.

But Li Qingluo understood the meaning of his words.

What happened in Zhaohua Palace that night could cost lives.

Li Qingluo said goodbye to Yang Qinwuhou and came out of Zhenxiu Restaurant. When passing by Fumanlou, Nanny Deng parked the carriage in the corner.

"Miss, I think I saw the eldest master."

Li Kechuan?

Li Qingluo gently lifted the carriage curtain a little and looked out.

Seeing Li Kechuan being pushed into Minglou, Li Qingluo said, "Go and see who he's meeting."

After a while, Nanny Deng came back.

"Girl, you can't guess, it's the Liu family!"

Li Kechuan meets the Liu family?

And invite them to dinner at Fumanlou?

"Who did you see? Did you see it clearly?"

Aunt Deng: "Only Liu Lao Er and Liu Lao San."

Boss Liu and Old Man Liu both had their legs broken at Prince Yun's mansion that day, so even if they wanted to come, they probably couldn't.

Although Li Qingluo was a little surprised, he was not that surprised.

She even had a vague guess about what Li Kechuan was going to do when he saw them.

Li Qingluo couldn't help but smile: "I was just about to deal with them, but they just got together like a bunch of snakes and rats."

"Come on, let's go and take a look. Let's see what my vicious and stupid brother is going to do!"

Li Qingluo put on a hood and entered Fumanlou accompanied by Nanny Deng and Que'er.

This time when he came to Fumanlou, Li Qingluo couldn't help but look around a few more times.

Prince Su said that this was Princess Qinyu's restaurant.

So the last time, when his own Zhenxiu Restaurant opened, those who were making trouble were actually Princess Qinyu's tricks behind the scenes.

Princess Qinyu runs such a big restaurant. She blatantly killed the eldest son-in-law's niece in the palace, but people in the palace covered it up for her. Even the emperor and the empress made excuses for her.

Nan Jia's death was inextricably linked to her...

This woman is really not simple.

Li Qingluo recalled the warning Princess Qinyu gave him before she left Jinling, and knew that this girl would become his strong rival in the future.

Fumanlou's business has been quite bleak over the past month.

Not only was it suppressed by Minglou, but the new Zhenxiu Restaurant that suddenly appeared also took away a lot of business from Fumanlou.

So now, whenever Fumanlou sees a guest, it is like a bee seeing a flower and immediately flies over quickly.

"Dear distinguished guests, please come in——"

The dishes at Fu Man Lou are very novel.

The tea is also special.

Li Qing was not selected and was placed in a corner, waiting for Nanny Deng to find out the news.

She and Que'er started eating seriously.

After a while, Madam Deng came back and said, "Miss, it's in the Shuke wing on the first floor. Would you like to go over?"

Li Qingluo: "This isn't Minglou, nor is it our Zhenxiu Restaurant. There are no traps here. Even if we go to the next door, we won't be able to hear what they're saying."

"It would only alert the enemy."

"You go and keep an eye on them. Once Li Kechuan leaves, we'll tie up those two!"

After a meal, in a small alley, Nanny Deng and her men tied up the two Liu brothers tightly.

Then they covered their heads, and Li Qingluo went up to them and started punching and kicking them.

“Ouch—ouch—”

“Have mercy, have mercy—”

"Who are you in broad daylight? Do you know who we are? Ouch—"

Li Qingluo's punches and kicks are no longer just fancy moves when he fights.

After a few punches from her, Liu Lao Er and Liu Lao San were bleeding from their noses, and their faces were covered with sticky blood.

Moreover, she used great strength in her kicks, and the pain was so severe that the two farmers couldn't recover for a long time.

"Stop, stop hitting me—"

"Good man, we have no money. Please spare us——"

They could never have imagined that the man who beat them today was not a hero, but the little girl they had stolen and tortured for more than ten years.

Li Qingluo signaled to Matron Deng with her eyes, and Matron Deng immediately shouted in a hoarse voice, "How dare you fool us! How dare you lie to us?"

"Didn't you just come out of the restaurant with the eldest son of the General's Mansion? Why would you go to Fu Man Lou to eat if you don't have money? How can you get to know the eldest son of the General's Mansion if you don't have money?"

"Hurry up and hand over all the valuables on you!"

"Otherwise, I'll beat you both to death!"

Liu Er shuddered all over, shouting, "So, so you've been eyeing us for a long time—"

Que'er was sharp-eyed and saw a clue from the corner of Liu Er's arms. She reached out and hooked out a purse!

"Look, what is this? A bag of silver from the General's Mansion. Did you steal it? I'll send you to the government. This little bit of silver is enough to put you in jail for life!"

Liu San was immediately frightened out of his wits.

“No, no—”

"My dear ladies, this silver was given to us by the eldest son of the general's mansion. Our niece, who was a victim of the money-losing scheme, was pregnant with his child. Now, she and her unborn child have tragically perished, and we don't have the money for a burial, so he's paying us to bury her quickly."

"This silver is the money for the burial of the victim. We really didn't steal it—"

Nanny Deng and Que'er looked at Li Qingluo together.

When Li Qingluo heard them describing Liu Sui'er in this way, he got so angry that he beat and kicked her again.

After all, these two were Liu Suier's uncles. It would have been fine if they didn't feel sad at all when Liu Suier died, but the words "a money-losing commodity" and the extremely cold tone, as if Suier was just a commodity to be sold at a price, deeply hurt Li Qingluo's heart.

Liu Er and Liu San screamed one after another.

They even moved out of Prince Yun's mansion, but unexpectedly, it did not scare off the abuser at all, but instead ushered in an even more violent storm...

Passersby at the alley were so frightened when they saw this scene that they were stunned and petrified on the spot.

When did the women of Daliang become so fierce?

Que'er and Aunt Deng naturally followed suit and beat him dozens of times.

Finally, after venting enough, Li Qingluo stopped panting.

She squatted down, took out a sleeve arrow from her wrist and pressed it against the necks of Liu Er and Liu San.

Madam Deng immediately understood and whispered, "Tell me! Didn't he ask you to do something else in exchange for this money?"

"If you tell the truth, I'll let you go right away!"

Liu Er: "Oh my... I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

He was really in great pain.

Since arriving in Jinling, their family has suffered a series of misfortunes and deaths.

My mother died, my sister died, and now Liu Sui'er is dead too...

Moreover, my father and elder brother had broken legs.

They can't have another death in their family.

So Liu Er and Liu San quickly confessed: "It was him. He told us to spread the word on the streets, saying that Sui'er was killed by our adopted daughter Liu Cao'er."

"Yes. They also said that Sui'er's death and the loss of two lives were all caused by Liu Cao'er's scheme. Let us find the culprit for the wrong and punish the debt. We must bite Liu Cao'er to death and let her be spitted and insulted by the world!"

"He wants to push this rotten reputation onto his own sister so that the world won't focus on him and our bloodline, Zhu'er..."

Zhu'er, you were the one who was unfilial first, so you can't blame your second and third uncles for selling you out for their own survival.

Que'er's face turned red in anger.

"Bullshit! So that's what he was planning! Bastard!"

Ever since the Cui family broke off the engagement, rumors began to spread in Jinling City about some unclear affairs between Queen Yun, Lady Zhaizhu, and her former brother.

Although the momentum is not big, Li Kechuan, who has been paying attention to any disturbance in this matter, will definitely find a way to suppress it as soon as possible.

But after thinking about it, he once again put his evil ideas to his own sister.
