Li Jingchuan turned around and looked at the person behind him. It was Zheng Wanxiu who had left the general's mansion last night.

She was wearing a black mask and frowned at the fact that Li Jingchuan was here: "Xiaochuan, why are you here too?"

"Are you planning to enter the General's Mansion?"

Li Jingchuan did not reply, but his silence was his answer.

Zheng Wanxiu angrily raised her hand and grabbed him forcefully: "Come with me!"

Zheng Wanxiu was about to leave with Li Jingchuan, but was stopped by Nangong Di.

"Madam Zheng, Luo'er and I saved both of your lives, and this is how you repay us, your master and disciple?"

"You want to leave quietly? Do you really think that we, the master and the disciple, are being taken advantage of?"

"Without Luo'er's order, if this young master leaves, I don't mind shouting out: The remnants of the Lotus Cult are here!"

"Don't even think about saving your brother when the time comes. You might even lose your own life!"

"I just hope Madam Zheng will be cautious and not implicate Master Jingchuan."

Zheng Wanxiu then suddenly let go of Li Jingchuan's arm.

"you--!"

She had been defeated by this man time and again, and knew that he was a man of his word and acted decisively.

I am no match for him at all.

Even though she was threatened to this extent, she could only grit her teeth and glare at Nangong Di unwillingly.

Zheng Wanxiu naturally wanted to take Li Jingchuan away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But Li Jingchuan refused to leave.

Zheng Wanxiu was forced to stay with a stern face.

At this time, in the general's mansion.

After Liu Qingzhu left, all the family members and servants in the mansion were taken to the front yard.

It was packed with hundreds of people.

Liu Mian'er, Aunt Lou, and Huan Jie'er were the last ones to be brought out.

Liu Mian'er's belly is already quite big.

Aunt Lou supported her, and Sister Huan followed beside her with a listless look.

Seeing Li Qingluo appear, Huan Jieer yelled with red eyes: "Elder sister——! Wuwu, elder sister..."

Ever since Li Qingluo left, there has been no one to teach Li Qinghuan.

Qu didn't care whether her concubine's daughter could read and write.

So Aunt Lou could only live cautiously with her daughter in her arms.

Sister Huan missed her elder sister very much.

Yesterday, her elder sister finally came back. She wanted to go see her elder sister, but her aunt said that her elder sister was very tired and asked her to be good and not disturb her.

Who knew that when he woke up in the morning, the situation in the mansion had completely changed.

When Li Qingluo saw his half-sister, his heart ached.

If Li Chaojing died, it would be what he deserved.

But if all the family members in the mansion were implicated, wouldn't Huan Jie'er, Aunt Lou, Liu Mian'er, and even the unborn baby all suffer with him?

Li Qingluo comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Huan. I'm right here."

Li Qingluo wanted to reach out to let Li Qinghuan come over, but Qu Daoyuan cut him off with a sword.

"Miss Li, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry."

"Let's go together. Your whole family can still be reunited in prison. There's no need to go through all this formality now. It would delay my time and prevent me from reporting to the palace in time."

Li Qingluo raised his knife and waved away his sword: "You don't have to use your power to bully others. Don't try to scare me with these words. I, Li Qingluo, have never been intimidated by anyone!"

Qu Daoyuan sneered, "Don't think you two, grandfather and grandson, can get away with this."

"Even if you have indeed moved out of this general's mansion a long time ago, one of you is Li Chaojing's biological mother, and the other is Li Chaojing's biological daughter. No matter how you run, you can never escape your blood relationship!"

"If your property is confiscated and your clan is exterminated, none of you will survive."

Qu Daoyuan's words were exactly where Li Qingluo was truly powerless today.

What a fucking bad luck.

Li Chaojing never got to enjoy the blessings in this life, but he was bound to suffer because of being implicated.

She and her grandmother were the two blood relatives that Li Chaojing had treated the most unfairly, yet they had to bear the punishment for the big mistakes he had made. It was really disgusting!

Li Qingluo was filled with resentment, but he could only protect his grandmother and retreat again.

She has been delayed here for so long, and hopes that Nanny Deng has successfully notified Prince Su's Mansion.

Their Xiuli General's Mansion has now successfully backed up by the Prince Su's Mansion. Duan Rongshi will definitely not sit idly by and watch herself and her grandmother. Li Qingluo is still a little confident about this.

Although he didn't dare to completely believe in human nature, Li Qingluo had an inexplicable trust in Duan Rong, a feeling that even he himself couldn't explain.

Obviously, she shouldn't trust someone so unconditionally...

and many more!

Where is the culprit of today's disaster, her mad biological father Li Chaojing?

This morning, all the people in the mansion were arrested, but how come this sinful man is still nowhere to be found?

Did he run away?

Just as Li Qingluo was thinking, Li Chaojing was dragged out...

"My Lord, my Lord—you see, this criminal, Li Chaojing, has actually gone mad!"

The fact that the General of the Cavalry had gone insane had been widely rumored throughout the city of Jinling, but no one had ever actually confirmed it.

Although the Qu family knew it a long time ago.

But the matter has not yet been fully exposed.

When the officers and soldiers in the mansion saw the truth today, they were all filled with sorrow.

Li Chaojing had no idea how the world viewed him now. He was dragged out screaming and crying.

He was holding a pile of broken wood in his arms.

After being pushed to the ground, the pile of broken wood that he had protected so well fell to the ground in an instant.

Li Chaojing screamed, "My little pony, my little pony—this is the pony my mother made for me on the battlefield!"

"You, you destroyed it!"

"I'm going to kill you, ahhhhh!! Kill you!"

Li Chaojing cried and shouted, and really stood up and rushed towards the person who had just pushed him angrily.

The man panicked and raised his hand to stab Li Chaojing with a knife. Madam Pei could no longer bear to watch and snatched the knife from Li Qingluo's hand and threw it at him.

The big knife accurately blocked the knife that was stabbing at Li Chaojing. Li Chaojing took the opportunity to pounce on the man, hugged his arm and started biting it.

The soldier screamed.

He then tried to get rid of Li Chaojing, but found that he was using all his brute force and he couldn't break free at all.

Until Madam Pei growled, "Jing'er! That's enough, come back!"

Only then did Li Chaojing relax.

Turning back to see Madam Pei, he immediately ran over with a look of joy: "Mother——"

Mother calls him Jing'er, Mother calls him Jing'er!

Li Chaojing rushed over with tears in his eyes and hugged Mrs. Pei, tears rolling down his cheeks: "Mother, you are not angry with your son anymore, right? He broke the pony, wuwu..."

"My son really knows he's wrong."

Mrs. Pei didn't know what to say.

But the bitterness in my heart has long surpassed the hatred.

Everything he has today is of his own making.

But he really became a fool, completely immersed in his childhood, confused his memory, and thought he was the child waiting for his mother to come back.

Seeing that the great General of Cavalry had become such a fool, everyone present suddenly had different expressions and fell into strange silence.

Pei Jingzhe suddenly whispered something in Qu Daoyuan's ear.

Qu Daoyuan looked at the most difficult pair of grandparents and grandchildren and snorted coldly: "You have some concerns, but I don't!"

"Regardless of the situation, both Madam Pei and Miss Li have disobeyed your Majesty's order today, which is a grave offense against His Majesty!"

"Since they dared to do this, I will arrest this grandfather and grandson who insulted and assaulted the imperial official and personally bring them together to meet His Majesty."

"Come here, arrest them all for me—anyone who obstructs me will be killed without mercy—"

At Qu Daoyuan's command, the officers who had been prepared to arrest people immediately rushed forward with knives.

The maids quickly drew their swords and rushed out to kill.

Li Qingluo protected his grandmother with all his might, and was also prepared to fight to the death!

At the critical moment, a roar came from the gate: "Stop it!"

Pushing through the crowd, Zhui Yu, the close guard of Prince Su's Mansion, strode out.

"Yo, what are you doing?"

Seeing such a scene, Zhui Yu strolled leisurely, moving slowly in the crowd.

"Sir Qu, His Majesty ordered you to capture the criminal Li Chaojing and his family, not to come to the General of the Cavalry's mansion and start a massacre."

"Don't even think about capturing a criminal. You won't even be able to bring a living person back, will you?"

"Or does Lord Qu intend to wipe out the entire General's Mansion?"

"There's no need to interrogate General Li about his crimes. You can just say whatever you want, right?"

When Qu Daoyuan heard him say this, his teeth almost broke.

Who in this court doesn’t recognize Prince Su’s guards?

Although the Fengyu, Leidian and others around him did not officially hold positions in the Dali Temple or any department of the court, their power was no less than that of the vice ministers.

They symbolize the hands of King Su, and everything they say and do represents the will of King Su.

Who in the court is not afraid of them?

Although they were just slaves after all, no one in the entire court dared to offend them, and everyone had to be polite to them when they met them.

After seeing this person and hearing his extremely vicious words, Qu Daoyuan's face instantly darkened.

"This, this, is not happening at all!"

Zhui Yu sneered, "Nothing? Do you really think I can't see that?"

"Just because you have an imperial edict, do you think you are the king of heaven and can do whatever you want in this general's mansion and control everyone's life?"

"In front of this Master Zhuiyu, your petty tricks are not worth even a second glance!"

Qu Daoyuan was humiliated in front of everyone, and it was hard for him to keep a straight face. "You! You're just a guard in Prince Su's Palace, and you're pretending to be so powerful!?"

"Don't even mention that His Royal Highness Prince Su is not here. Even if he were here today, he wouldn't be able to interfere with the matter of me arresting someone under orders!"

After Qu Daoyuan finished speaking angrily, Pei Jingzhe behind him suddenly squeezed forward.

"So it's the Zhuiyu Guards who serve His Royal Highness Prince Su. We are here today to investigate a case under orders from the emperor."

"I wonder if Guard Zhuiyu has suddenly come to the General's Mansion on some important matter?"

Qu Daoyuan finally reacted at this time!

Yes.

How could he, the guard of Prince Su, suddenly appear here?
