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

Jingchuan: "She is my biological sister! Before you decided to do this, did you ever ask for my opinion?"

Zheng Wanxiu came out from behind: "I am your mother too!"

"You are willing to die, but have you ever asked me what I want? Do I want you to leave me like this?!"

"Xiaochuan, you are my only child!"

"It was Li Qingluo's biological mother who caused me to lose so many children and made you suffer from this condition since childhood. Now, isn't it right to let her daughter of the Qu family exchange for my son's life?"

Zheng Wanxiu grabbed Jingchuan angrily, hoping that he would wake up.

Don't lose your chance to live because of these useless emotions.

Jingchuan lowered his head and coughed violently again.

Zheng Wanxiu's expression changed and she let him go.

"Ogawa——"

Jingchuan raised his head, his eyes dim, "Mother, Luo'er's life is as miserable as my son's."

"She never received even a little love from the Qu family. She was also forced to wander in the mountains for over a decade since she was young, suffering immense hardships and being verbally abused. Even after returning to the Li family, she hasn't had a single day of peace. Why should she now pay off the Qu family's debts?"

"And the person the son would rather die is the son himself—"

Zheng Lingzhou waved his sleeves and said sternly, "Alright! Come on, hurry up and help the young master back to the house to rest!"

Jingchuan laughed bitterly: "Even if you save a body, what does it matter? I've lived enough."

"If you really kill Luo'er and use some kind of witchcraft to try to prolong my life, even if I recover my health, I will definitely not live in vain—"

Jingchuan couldn't struggle and could only be taken away.

Zheng Wanxiu looked at Zheng Lingzhou with red eyes: "Azhou, tell me...if this child really does something bad in the future, what should we do?"

"I see he really cares about Qu's daughter. He really treats her as his own blood sister!"

"I overlooked this matter. Xiaochuan has always been soft-hearted. Seeing a small animal injured on the roadside would make his eyes red. What's more, she is his own sister who would make him feel pity?"

"Not only does he have the blood of my Zheng family, but also the blood of the Li family!"

"I'm really scared... I'm really scared that all my efforts will be in vain. Even if Xiaochuan turns around, what will he do if he does something stupid again?"

Zheng Lingzhou comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, he won't do anything stupid."

"When he feels how a normal, healthy person walks, eats, and sleeps, and finally lives like a human being, he will no longer be willing to die."

"Besides, he would be taking Luo'er's life with him. How could he dare to die?"

Zheng Wanxiu was a little surprised to hear her brother use the word "dare" with gritted teeth.

"A Zhou, could it be that you...really have feelings for Luo'er that you shouldn't have?"

A trace of panic flashed across Zheng Lingzhou's cold face.

"Sister, what are you talking about? This is not true!"

Zheng Wanxiu walked forward and looked Zheng Lingzhou straight in the eye: "Then why don't you dare look at me?"

"Azhou, I've seen you holding a dagger and laughing foolishly several times."

"That dagger was made by Luo'er. Was it difficult for me to guess?"

"Also, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but every time you talk about Luo'er, your eyes light up. Do you like her?"

Zheng Lingzhou: "I treat her as my disciple."

Zheng Wanxiu: "Is it because of my disciple, or is it because after spending some time with her, I discovered her tenacity and hard work, her specialness and loveliness, and I couldn't help but be attracted to her?"

"Every time you said you wanted to arrest her, how many times did you actually do it?"

"Azhou, are you really willing to use her life to exchange for Xiaochuan's life?"

As Zheng Lingzhou listened to these words, his eyes gradually became fixed.

He stared at the courtyard where Li Qingluo was staying and whispered, "So what if I'm reluctant to leave? In the whole world, no one can compare to Chuan'er."

"Even if it's her, it won't work."

Li Qingluo sneezed.

She quickly closed the open window herself.

When I turned around, I found that there was already someone sitting in the room.

Li Qingluo was naturally shocked.

"Your Highness, when did you appear?"

The person who came was Su Wang Duan Rongshi.

Li Qingluo was shocked. Jingyun Villa was so big, and he could just walk in casually?

Moreover, he managed to sneak into his room without making any noise. How did he know where I lived?

What a great skill!

Duan Rongshi leisurely picked up a piece of exquisite pastry from Li Qingluo's table and smelled it.

"just."

"You caught a cold?"

Li Qingluo coughed a few times.

"I did it on purpose."

"hey-hey……"

Duan Rongshi saw that she was really sick.

Then he took out a roasted chicken from his arms.

"Eat."

Li Qingluo smelled the fragrance and happily sat over, opened the oil paper, tore off a piece of chicken leg, and started to eat it without any courtesy.

In a short while, her lips were shiny red from eating so much.

Duan Rongshi curled his lips slightly, "Eat slowly."

He poured her a cup of tea, smelling it himself before handing it to her.

Li Qingluo swallowed a mouthful and watched his movements curiously. "Your Highness, could you possibly know medicine? What are you smelling?"

Duan Rongshi: "I don't know medical skills, but my mother taught me how to smell poison since I was young."

It was the first time that Li Qingluo heard him mention his mother.

Although I was extremely curious, I didn't dare to ask too much, so I just praised her sincerely: "That lady is really amazing."

Duan Rongshi said "hmm" lightly.

He suddenly remembered something and his eyes paused.

Then he reached out and confiscated the roast chicken in Li Qingluo's hand, even the chicken leg that had been eaten clean.

"Your Highness?"

Why is this?

Duan Rongshi: "Divine Doctor Luo said that even gods cannot cure a cough like eating chicken. I was careless."

The main reason is that I didn't expect that she would end up like this so quickly.

Li Qingluo looked at the chicken pitifully. It smelled so good...

"Then I can feed it to the butterflies."

Duan Rongshi had already wrapped it up and put it back into his arms: "No, I suspect you will eat it secretly."

Li Qingluo: ...

Well, he hit the nail on the head.

Li Qingluo quickly revealed the matter: "Your Highness came here tonight. Has he already figured out the details of Jingyun Villa?"

"It's really strange. There are no other Lotus Cult members in such a large villa. It's so empty. It doesn't make sense."

Duan Rongshi: "It's just crowded in a place where you can't see it."

Li Qingluo was shocked. "You mean, those people are still in Jingyun Villa?"

Duan Rongshi: "At least a thousand believers are here. The rest are spread all over the country, in various strongholds."

Li Qingluo: "So, is this the Lotus Cult's lair?"

After saying that, she coughed a few more times.

Duan Rongshi stared at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Why do you want to make yourself sick?"

Li Qingluo: "This evening, a female doctor came and said she wanted to take my pulse and examine me."

"In the evening, someone brought me a bowl of medicine. I didn't dare drink it, so the maid said it was just a nourishing medicine and even tested it for poison herself."

"Such strange behavior, I suspect Zheng Lingzhou has bad intentions."

"Since he wants me to have a healthy body so badly, I'm going to go against him... ahem... let's see how he reacts tomorrow."

Duan Rongshi showed an expression of disbelief.

This is really a stupid method that hurts the enemy by 800 and yourself by 1,000.

Li Qingluo had no other choice but to take the lead, otherwise how would Zheng Lingzhou reveal his true identity?

"By the way, Your Highness, is everything okay with my grandmother?"

Li Qingluo did not hide this time from her grandmother. Naturally, Mrs. Pei was strongly opposed at first, but she only gave in after Li Qingluo repeatedly assured her that he would cooperate with Prince Su.

Duan Rongshi: "Before I came here, I went to visit General Pei. When she knew I was coming, she felt relieved."

Li Qingluo smiled: "That's good."

"Did Zulia reveal anything?"

Duan Rongshi was about to tell her about this when footsteps were heard in the yard.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi looked at each other. It was already midnight and someone was still coming?

There was a knock on the door soon, and the maid's voice came: "Miss Li, our Second Master asked to bring you some midnight snacks. I am coming in."

Li Qingluo: "No need! I don't want to eat, get off!"

She scolded coldly, but quickly stood up and pulled Duan Rongshi behind the curtain.

But the curtain did not fall to the ground, so Li Qingluo could still see Prince Su's big feet when he came out.

She had a headache and there was no way to hide from it, so she asked Prince Su to put on his shoes and lie down on the bed.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo had bolted the door, so the maid who originally wanted to come in directly could only shake the door.

"Miss Li, Miss Li?"

"Our Second Master said that Miss Li is a little thin and frail, so it would be better for her to have some midnight snacks. This would be good for her health."

"Miss Li, please open the door. It's just a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup. It won't take up much of your time..."

Li Qingluo pulled the quilt over to cover Prince Su. After a moment's thought, he jumped on top as well. He then lowered the bed curtains to wrap the quilt around him and shouted angrily again, "Get out! I told you I don't want to eat. Don't you understand?"

"I've already gone to bed, you—"

Before he could finish his words, the door was opened by the maid with great force.

Li Qingluo realized that these maids all knew martial arts!

Perhaps, they were not real maids at all.

But the Lotus Cultists...

Li Qingluo was really angry at this moment.

She picked up a pillow and threw it out.

"Asshole! I'm your Second Master's honored guest, and this is how you treat me!?"

"I already said I went to bed, don't you understand?"

"Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll kill you all tomorrow!"

Her domineering and fierce tone did make the maid a little timid.

She quickly put down the lotus seed soup and said repeatedly, "Young lady, I will come back to collect the bowls tomorrow morning. The Second Master said that if you don't eat, he will put the old nanny back in the dungeon tomorrow."

After saying that, she ran away quickly, without suspecting that there was a living person lying on Li Qingluo's bed.

Li Qingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, he met the dark and deep eyes of Prince Su.
