"what!!"

The Pei family screamed, startled by Li Qingluo's sudden appearance.

"Li Qingluo!? Why is it you? You, you, you, what do you want to do?"

Pei Liuniang recognized the person on the wall at a glance and was shocked.

How did she become so radiant?

Her stunning beauty made the Pei family's hearts tremble.

Not just stunning, but also astonishment and shock.

It turns out that the real Li Qingluo is even better than Liu Qingzhu, the daughter who was raised in a luxurious environment since childhood!

In just one year, the skinny, dark weed that had just returned to Jinling City had grown into a blooming peony without anyone noticing.

If she had been raised in Jinling since she was a child, wouldn't she have already been the best in the entire Jinling?

This made the daughter of the Pei family, who had always thought highly of herself since childhood, feel a little uncomfortable.

But, so what if she is pretty?

She was so arrogant that she jumped onto the wall and threatened people with a sword. How could she look like a noble lady?

She is indeed a country girl, uneducated!

Li Qingluo was too lazy to pay attention to the Pei family's rapidly changing looks.

He just sneered: "Of course it's me. Could it be someone else?"

"Didn't your Pei family already know that my grandmother and I lived next door?"

"You all speak so rudely and unpleasantly without any scruples. Why do you expect me to endure it?"

"As for what I want to do, it depends on whether you guys can keep your mouths clean. Sixth Miss, why don't you give it a try?"

The Duke's wife pointed at Li Qingluo and said sternly, "How dare you!"

"This is the royal residence. You, an uneducated person, are not allowed to act recklessly here."

"How can you be so arrogant!?"

"Someone, come and knock her down with the pole!"

After entering the palace, Pei Si Niang was promoted to the position of noble lady within a few months, and is now the new favorite, Noble Lady Jing.

Ever since the story of Old Duke Pei and the Pei family dungeon was exposed and spread, the Pei family's status in Jinling City has plummeted. They are pointed at and talked about wherever they go and cannot hold their heads up.

If Pei Zixuan had not brought glory to the Pei family again, and if the eldest son Pei Jingzhe had not gradually gained a foothold in the Ministry of War, their Pei family would still not be able to hold their heads high.

As the biological mother of Concubine Jing, Lady Guogong was finally able to hold her head up high again, so naturally she would not allow a junior like Li Qingluo to be arrogant in front of her.

So he didn't take Li Qingluo's threat seriously at all.

But before the servant of the Pei family could reach Li Qingluo with the pole, the Que'er and Ying'er lying on the wall threw stones at him.

"Ouch--"

The bird's aim was very accurate, and the servants were hit so hard that they all ran away in panic.

The masters of the Pei family looked pale and hid back in panic.

"Stop, stop it! Li Qingluo, you are simply lawless and wanton!"

"You are so arrogant and domineering. I will report you to the Empress today and convict you of the heinous crime of treason and disrespect for your superiors!"

"Hurry up, go and beat her up for me! Beat her up!"

A brave servant ran over with a stone on his head, and the pole almost hit Li Qingluo in the face.

Sha Wu was about to make a move, but Li Qingluo grabbed the pole head first.

She was very strong and snatched the pole away with one hand.

Then he turned around and took the pole and hit the slave on the head.

"Ouch——" Another cry of pain, the slave crawled away in a panic on the ground.

Li Qingluo held the pole and gave a wicked smile, then raised his hand and poked it in the direction of the Duke's wife.

How could the Duke's wife have imagined that she would be so lawless and dare to act so rebelliously in the royal villa?

He was so frightened that he had no time to run away and could only hold his head and scream.

"what!"

The old maids rushed over, and immediately all the masters and servants fell to the ground. It was a very exciting scene.

"It's a rebellion! Hurry, go and tell the Queen that Li Qingluo is going to kill someone—"

"Send the Royal Guards over here and arrest this treacherous little bastard for me!"

"This lady will never let go of what happened today!!"

The Duke's wife's old face twitched with anger, but at this moment, a strong and sarcastic voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "The Duke's wife is really showing off now!"

The speaker was none other than Mrs. Pei who had come around.

Madam Pei spoke without hesitation: "As the biological mother of Noble Lady Jing, Madam Guo is now a member of the royal family. She is truly very majestic."

"You can even influence whether the Empress decides to convict someone, and you can even issue orders to the Imperial Guard. Your Pei family is truly unrivaled these days, even ruling the imperial court!"

"In my opinion, you are the one who is presumptuous!"

"Wait until these words reach the Queen's ears and see who will be convicted today!"

Mrs. Pei's words frightened everyone in the Pei family yard to a pale face.

Before the Duchess's wife could react, the Duke, who had just walked in from outside the courtyard, strode in with a pale face. He walked up to the Duchess's wife and slapped her in the face.

"Foolish woman! What nonsense are you talking about here? You'll only be satisfied if you implicate the noble lady and her entire family so that they can never recover, right?"

Pei Jingzhe, who followed, first paid his respects to Old Madam Pei, and then hurriedly caught up.

"Father! No matter how big a mistake Mother makes, you shouldn't humiliate her in public."

The Duke's wife covered her face and started sobbing.

Where is the arrogance he had just now?

Li Qingluo stood on the wall, watching the fun with his arms folded.

If you want to bully the two of them, don’t you consider your own weight first?

Although they are orphans and widows with no one to rely on, they only have themselves, so they are not afraid.

Moreover, my grandmother’s resentment towards their Duke’s Mansion is no less than mine.

Although he provoked them, he also did not allow them to find fault with anything he said.

Moreover, she just jumped onto the wall. It was the Peiguo Mansion that took the initiative to provoke and insult her, and they were the first to use the pole to hurt people.

Everything Li Qingluo did was just a counterattack to protect himself.

Naturally, he would not be afraid of the Peiguo Mansion and would really report it to the Queen to seek justice.

"Aunt, this is all a misunderstanding. It's my fault for not being strict with you and the younger generation. I sincerely apologize for this."

"I hope you won't take it personally. Your nephew will definitely discipline and punish them!"

"I hope you will be magnanimous and not spread this matter."

Li Qingluo thought he had misheard.

Is this Duke Pei?

How could his attitude towards his grandmother change so much?

He didn't look like this last time at Pei's house.

Even Mrs. Pei was a little surprised.

Pei Jingzhe stepped forward and said, "Grand aunt, I, your nephew, would also like to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. I hope that you and your cousin will not be angry."

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

What's more, they all have the surname Pei.

Duke Pei also took the initiative to call Madam Pei aunt. Does this mean he wants to continue recognizing his relatives?

However, Mrs. Pei did not appreciate it.

When she thought of how many innocent souls were buried beneath the Peiguo Mansion, she became uncontrollably angry.

He continued coldly, "She called Luo'er an uneducated little beast. If I am already an old beast, what then is the Pei family, a family of the same origin?"

"If the girl from your mansion hadn't spoken harshly and hurtfully first, Luo'er wouldn't have jumped over the wall and said a few words in reply."

“In the final analysis, my Xiuli General’s Mansion is now lonely, old and young, while your Peiguo Mansion now has nobles in the palace, so you bully the weak and want to suppress us under the two of us, the grandfather and grandson.”

"Since you despise us, you can just go to the Internal Affairs Office and ask for a change of courtyard."

"Why are you yelling about filial piety? It's a sin!"

"Pei Bu, you know in your heart how many sins your Peiguo Mansion has committed!"

After saying this, Mrs. Pei turned around and left with the support of Nanny Zhang.

Duke Pei's expression was extremely ugly.

Pei Jingzhe whispered to comfort him and looked up at Li Qingluo on the wall.

He nodded slightly to show his goodwill.

Li Qingluo narrowed his eyes and thought: The sudden change in Duke Pei's attitude must be related to this Pei Jingzhe!

Turn around and go back to the yard.

Li Qingluo walked towards Madam Pei and said, "Grandma, calm down. I'll make you some rock sugar mung bean paste."

Madam Pei didn't blame her for coming forward today. She smiled and tapped Li Qingluo's forehead, "Little monkey, take a short rest. It's time to go to the Changle Main Hall to pay homage to His Majesty and the Empress."

"Rock sugar green bean paste, let's drink it when we get back tonight."

It can be seen that Mrs. Pei was in a much better mood after venting her anger.

While the grandfather and grandson were having a great time here, the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion in the next yard was as depressing and gloomy as ice.

The servants all retreated quickly.

Duke Pei glared angrily at Pei Liuniang and Pei Shierniang, and whispered, "Today's disaster is caused by you two!"

"Come here, immediately send the Sixth and Tenth Misses, as well as the Madam, back to Jinling City!"

"Let them reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors and not even step out of their respective courtyards for a month!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Lu, the Duke's wife, rushed over to beg for mercy without even having time to cry: "Master, I truly know I was wrong."

"How can I go back like this when I haven't even seen Xuan'er yet?"

"At least, let me meet Xuan'er before I leave!"

However, the Duke had a cold expression on his face and was determined to make the decision.

Mrs. Lu: "Master, you are too cruel!"

"But you're afraid of a helpless old lady and a country girl who's rebellious and abandoned her parents."

"What leverage do they have over you that would make you disregard the relationship between us as husband and wife?"

"And Xuan'er, she's Lady Jing now. She wants to see us, her parents. Are you completely ignoring her?"

Pei Bu: "Shut up! What do you know?"

"All you do all day is act like you're the Duke's wife. You know this entire Duke's Mansion is already finished!"

"And that little bastard you're talking about might be the only one who can save our family, and you still dare to offend her!?"

"If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will make sure you never see Xuan'er again in your life. Do you believe it?!"

Mrs. Lu was stunned.

It seemed as if he had no idea what Duke Pei was saying.

How could that bitch Li Qingluo be the only one who could save their Duke's Mansion?

Isn’t their Duke’s Mansion getting better and better now?

Pei Jingzhe bent down and helped his mother up.

"Mother, father was forced into a corner. From now on, please be careful with your words and actions when you meet Miss Li and my great aunt, and don't offend them again."

"If you still want my entire Pei family to have a chance to survive, then listen to your son, okay?"

Mrs. Lu then became a little nervous: "Da Lang, what on earth is going on?"

Pei Jingzhe sighed.

He rolled up his sleeves to show Mrs. Lu: "Mother, do you remember that this blue thread also appeared on Father's body?"
