"This matter cannot be concealed. Soon both the master and the mistress knew about it."

"That day, Mei Xue knelt in the hall. The eldest master had a gloomy face, as if he was the one Mei Xue had tricked into taking her body. The mistress scolded her for being shameless and calling her a slut who seduced her master. The master frowned and asked someone to bring the potion soup..."

"But in the end, they were all stopped by the eldest girl."

"The eldest lady said that the baby in Meixue's belly is the eldest son's firstborn child after all. Although it's a concubine's child, if it can be born, it will also be the bloodline of the Li family. It can be raised on the farm. After all, it is a life."

"Look, what a kind heart!"

"Everyone was moved by her kindness, but no one asked Mei Xue about her own wishes."

"Meixue wants to make her move. She still wants to fly away from this house. But someone has been assigned to Lancang Courtyard to keep an eye on her and not allow her to do anything extreme."

"I also thought that if I gave birth to a child, Mei Xue would at least have something to look forward to in her later life, right?"

"But that day, I heard it clearly! It was the eldest girl, Li Qingzhu! She cried and said that it was Mei Xue who pushed her onto the rockery, causing a large bruise on her waist."

"She also said that she just wanted Mei Xue to take more walks in the garden so that she could give birth to a healthy child for her brother. But Mei Xue started to show off in front of her, saying how she would be able to win the eldest master's heart by having a child, and that she, the younger sister, would have to stand aside..."

"Oh my god! Mei Xue would never say such a thing! She was clearly disheartened at the time, but she still fought to stay alive, and she couldn't help but think that if she gave birth to the child safely, she would have a chance to see her brother again."

"Even if she really lived in the manor for her whole life, she would never have the slightest fantasy about the eldest son! It's not that she dared not think about it, but she had never thought about it."

"Miss, I absolutely did not lie or say anything nonsense. These are all what Mei Xue told me in person..."

"But the eldest master believed those words. In a rage, he locked Mei Xue in the woodshed and kicked her in the stomach several times."

"Meixue's screams spread throughout the entire Lancang Courtyard."

"That little wound on the young lady's waist wasn't caused by Mei Xue at all. Even if it was, he never cared about the lives of Mei Xue and her unborn child. He just wanted to vent his anger on his beloved sister."

"That night... Mei Xue bled profusely."

"Second Miss! If there was a doctor to see her, Mei Xue might still be able to survive. But the doctor I finally managed to summon that night was intercepted by the eldest Miss on the way..."

"Just because she said that the bruise on her waist the size of a fingernail hurts."

Mei Shuang lay on the ground, crying.

"The child in Meixue's belly was silent first. Then Meixue died in my arms, eyes open."

"Afterwards, the eldest son came to take a look, but he just said it was useless and left."

"Li Qingzhu sobbed hypocritically, saying she hadn't expected this to happen. If she had known, she wouldn't have told the eldest master about it... Look, how disgusting and vicious she is."

"It was clearly her conspiracy, and everyone in Lancang Court saw through it, but the eldest master just couldn't see it."

"Afterwards, she sold all of us from Lancang Courtyard one after another under various excuses, or sent us elsewhere. Anyway, none of us servants who had been friends with Mei Xue met a good end."

"I also wanted to survive, so I deliberately set up a scene during the Li family banquet, making it look like the eldest lady had caused my disfigurement."

"Afterwards, for the sake of the young lady's reputation, I took the opportunity to ask for my freedom. But for the past two years, I have lived like a rat in a gutter, never seeing the sun."

"Even my family members despise my face, let alone the world?"

"This servant's life is worse than death, but it is worth it if I can speak up for Mei Xue's grievances before I die."

Mei Shuang was taken away.

Li Qingluo asked Que'er, "Do you have any more of the scar-removing ointment that Grandma gave me?"

Que'er shook her head: "Miss, that ointment is very rare. The old lady also worked very hard to get two boxes. I'm afraid it's not enough for you to use."

"If you want to give it to Mei Shuang, the old lady... from what I know, a box costs over a thousand taels of silver."

Li Qing was shocked: "So expensive?"

She really couldn't ask her grandmother for it anymore.

When Li Qingluo thought about how her grandmother was willing to be so kind to her, she felt warm and touched.

Moreover, she knew that Snow Skin Pills and Cream were also very expensive.

But my grandmother spent all her money on her as if it were free.

During these two months, her grandmother gave her twenty taels of silver every month as pocket money.

The monthly allowance for Fang Zhongque'er and the others was given to her by her grandmother and she was asked to distribute it.

As for Qu, Li Qingluo had not paid her respects in the past two months, and she had never seen Li Qingluo before.

The mother and daughter seemed to have thought each other dead. Although they lived in the same mansion, they never met each other again.

Li Qingluo was satisfied with this temporary peace.

However, it's time for her to go out and walk around.

"Madam Deng, please help me find another person. A captain of the Imperial Guard named Yang. If I remember correctly, he should be Mei Xue's only surviving brother."

Nanny Deng didn't dare to ask more questions, and just responded and retreated.

As for Mei Shuang, Li Qingluo asked Que'er to temporarily hide her in the Red Maple Pavilion.

"Ask her if she's willing to stay and work for me. I can sign a working contract for her."

Que'er: "Miss, do you want to keep her? But she was once a member of the Li Mansion. I think if someone from the old mansion recognized her..."

Li Qingluo smiled and said, "Who said I want to keep her in the mansion? Helping me with things is not the only way out in this small world."

"Oh, right. Later, I will personally write down the confession of Mei Xue's injustice and tragic death. You can give it to Mei Shuang and have her sign it."

Two days later, Nanny Deng came back with a reply.

"Miss, there's no one named Yang among the Imperial Guard captains, but I've found out there's a brigade commander named Yang, and he's definitely looking for his long-lost sister!"

When Li Qingluo heard this, she immediately sat up excitedly: "Mammy, I want to see him."
