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

Li Qingluo had clearly seen that the mouths of the older mute slaves were empty and dark, obviously because their tongues had been pulled out.

The young mute slave girls all had full tongues. If they were not born deaf and dumb, they would have become mute due to medication.

But why are they all mute?

Who pulled out those tongues?

Was it Duan Rongshi who did it?

If it was him, why was it that every time these mute slaves saw him, there was no fear in their eyes, and they were even very close to him, respectful and loyal to him with all their heart?

Moreover, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they would go to commemorate others today.

So we can only commemorate Concubine Yue!

The gate of Guiyuan is usually closed. Apart from Li Qingluo coming and going, it seems that no one else has ever knocked on the door.

Li Qingluo once heard that Concubine Yue's bedroom in the imperial palace was named: Guifu Palace.

Guiyuan Garden, Guifu Palace...

Could it be that these mute slaves are related to the deceased Concubine Yue?

Li Qingluo suppressed the doubts in his heart.

However, no matter who they were, she could clearly sense that they had no hostility towards her.

Li Qingluo is also willing to treat sincerely those who have been kind and helpful to him.

It has nothing to do with who they once were.

Li Qingluo exerted all his strength and made twelve dishes.

I also made six plates of dessert.

He heated the dishes in the pot, continued to simmer the soup, and personally placed the desserts on the altar with the mute slaves.

The mute slaves also stuffed a bunch of freshly picked flowers into her hands and asked Li Qingluo to present it on the altar.

Li Qingluo was flattered: "Can I?"

She just had some close contacts with Prince Su. What identity and qualifications did she have to add flowers to the altar?

But the mute slaves still pushed her forward with a smile.

And made movements to urge her on.

Li Qingluo looked at the altar and saw only a blank tablet with no name on it.

Her heart suddenly felt heavy. She walked forward with the bouquet of flowers, put it down carefully, and bowed deeply towards the tablet with sincerity.

When she came out of Guiyuan, Cui'er and Aunt Deng had just finished their work and came back to pick her up.

"Girl, it's done."

Li Qing got on the carriage and said, "Let's go to the Jinling government office."

When Li Qingluo entered the Jinling government office again, he felt somewhat familiar with it.

The cell was dark, dirty and smelly.

There were rats running around everywhere, feces all over the ground, and the prisoners imprisoned there groaning and groaning.

"Save the little one..."

"My dear, I have been wronged..."

"Please, sir, please be kind and send a message to my family..."

Nanny Deng and Que'er took Li Qingluo to avoid the outstretched hands and finally arrived at the prison door where Qu was imprisoned.

The once noble and elegant lady has now fallen into prisoner status, covered in dirt and in a mess.

She had been sitting in the corner with a frightened look on her face, countless pieces of straw scattered on her body, her hair disheveled, staring at everyone around her with vigilance and precaution.

Until Li Qingluo came.

Que'er stuffed a large ingot of silver into the officer's hand, and the officer immediately knocked on the door frame with a smile: "Qu Sanniang! Someone is here to see you!"

When Qu looked up and saw Li Qingluo, she screamed "Ah" and rushed over.

"Luo'er! Luo'er——"

"Luo'er, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please save me, please save me—"

"Luo'er, I really don't want to die. I don't want to stay here anymore. If I continue like this, I'll be driven crazy!"

"Luo'er, mother knows I've done so many things wrong to you in the past. I've caused so many deaths. I deserve everything I've gotten today. I deserve it..."

"But after all, please consider that I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. I also gave you my bloodline. Please save me..."

Qu's face was covered with tears. She reached through the door frame and grabbed Li Qingluo's skirt tightly. Her dirty hands instantly left a mark on her white skirt.

Que'er wanted to do something, but she held herself back.

Li Qingluo squatted down, took out a handkerchief and reached out to wipe the tears from Qu's face.

"Then why didn't you think of today when you listened to He's words and wanted to kill my grandmother?"

"Why didn't you think of today when you killed Concubine Zheng's child and aborted Concubine Lou's already formed fetus?"

"You allowed Li Kechuan to harm me several times. Did you know he really wanted to chop off my hands and feet, cripple me, and have me buried with Liu Qingzhu?"

"When you repeatedly wished you had given birth to Liu Qingzhu instead of me, have you ever considered that I am your biological child?"

"You still want to marry me off to a man who's not even as tall as me, just to make your own family pay more attention to you. Or do you think I'm lucky to be matched with a man like that, and have never considered that I, Li Qingluo, might be matched with a better man?"

"I can let go of all the things you've done to me. But I can't forgive you for what you did to my grandmother!"

If it weren't for the collaboration between Qu and He, my grandmother wouldn't have fallen victim.

After my grandmother took effect of the poison, it was Qu who instigated Li Chaojing to drag her to death.

She wanted Tianfeng Trading Company, she wanted to control her own marriage, and she wanted to completely control the General's Mansion.

Qu may look stupid, but in fact, she is as ambitious and cruel as that old concubine Deng.

When Qu heard every word of accusation, she completely collapsed.

"Mom really knows she was wrong..."

Li Qingluo: "No. You don't really realize that you are wrong."

"It's just that you can't stand the pain of imprisonment anymore, so you have no choice but to admit your mistake."

Qu explained in a panic, "No! Luo'er, what mother said is true."

"Every time I think about how I treated you when you first came back, I really regret it and my heart aches."

"But mother is just... just an ordinary mother who does too many foolish things..."

"Also, if Zhu'er hadn't committed suicide by self-immolation, your mother and your brother wouldn't have been so blinded by anger and sadness, and wouldn't have blamed you for Zhu'er's death."

"We did a lot of wrong things, but they were all excusable!"

"Mom admits that we were indeed partial to Liu Qingzhu, whom we raised for over a decade. We only thought of her as an innocent child. Even though she was swapped with us, she allowed us to enjoy the joy of family."

"But you forgot... it was she who usurped your throne. It was she and her family who caused you to suffer so much in the mountains. We never stood in your shoes, never thought about you, never felt sorry for you..."

"Do you know that when you fell off the cliff, I wished I was the one falling off the cliff?"

"Actually, ever since then, my heart has been filled with guilt and remorse towards you, but I just don't want to admit it."

"Luo'er, mother really knows she was wrong."

"Even if you hate me and want me to die, I beg you... can you please give me some dignity?"

"Mom can die. Even a cup of poisoned wine or a piece of white silk will do..."

"Mom just doesn't want to die in this filthy prison!"

"Luo'er——"

Li Qingluo: "Then do you think your Qu family will let you walk out of here alive?"

When Qu heard this, her tears stopped.

"You...what do you mean?"

Li Qingluo: "You and the He family teamed up to harm my grandmother. Now my grandmother is safe and sound, and she will have no problem living to be a hundred years old. Do you think the Qu family is afraid that my grandmother and I will get evidence and sue the Qu family?"

Qu sat on the ground limply, her face pale.

"Kill me...to silence me?"

Li Qingluo looked towards the darker place on the left: "Otherwise, do you think they would be so kind as to bring me to see you today?"

"If I just wanted to hear your confession, I wouldn't have come."

Li Qingluo stood up and quickly retreated.

Que'er, Nanny Deng, and the two guards that Li Qingluo brought with her today immediately surrounded her.

Sure enough, as Li Qingluo finished speaking, several figures slowly revealed their true appearances in the darkness.

It was none other than the head of the Qu family, Mrs. He, her two daughters-in-law, several strong servants and maids.

When Li Qingluo saw He, his eyes revealed deep disgust and hatred without any concealment.

This old woman has a compassionate face, but she actually does evil and selfish things.

She eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures, and accuses the second wife of being an accomplice to the evil. She is truly a hypocrite!

Did she really think that since she had a grandson from the Ministry of Justice, he could set a trap for Li Qingluo in this prison today and capture her?

Li Qingluo smiled coldly. After receiving the news from the government office this morning that Qu wanted to see her, she felt something was wrong.

Qu wants to see her?

How did this news get out?

She has been imprisoned, with no money, power or influence. Now she is just a prisoner. How can she ask the government to pass on a message for her?

Unless the Qu family is helping her behind the scenes!

Therefore, the person who really wants to see him is not Qu.

But the Qu family.

It's easy to guess what the Qu family wants to do.

As long as he had met Qu, as long as there was a dispute between the mother and daughter, as long as Qu died as soon as he left, he would be suspected of murder.

They can not only kill the hidden danger of the Qu family, but also kill two birds with one stone.

It's indeed a good plan.

But Li Qingluo already knew how shameless the Qu family was, so how could they not have a backup plan?

However, before Li Qingluo could make a move, He was already furious: "You daring beast! What are you talking about?"

"You actually watched your biological mother kill your biological grandmother in a fit of rage. What kind of person are you?!"

"In the final analysis, even if you break bones, you still have tendons. There is no such a beast as you in this world who would personally send your own biological mother to prison."

"Why haven't you been struck by lightning yet?!"

"I just want to hear the truth. I want to know whether your biological grandmother was killed by your mother. But you are full of resentment towards your mother and even slander my Qu family."

"Your grandmother was poisoned. What does this have to do with our Qu family?"

"Stop your nonsense and accusations here, or I'll punish you for slander!"

"Come on, go catch this evil creature and teach her a lesson."

"Amitabha, good, good, good."
