Li Qingluo knew what her grandmother was asking.

So he didn't shy away from answering directly, "No. Luo'er doesn't regret doing this."

Madam Pei's eyes shot open in a rage. "How foolish! After all, he's still your biological brother! Luo'er, do you know what you're doing?"

Li Qingluo raised his head and faced his grandmother's anger with calm eyes.

"Grandmother, he never considered me his biological sister. He was the one who tried to kill me several times, and I only managed to escape by luck. I may not be so lucky next time."

"Grandma, I promised you that I would keep him alive, and I did it."

Was she saying that she had let her go and take revenge on Li Kechuan, but now he was blaming her?

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Pei felt sad.

A thought even popped up in her mind: Could it be that I was wrong to bring her back to the Li family?

Li Qingluo saw the disappointment in her grandmother's eyes, and a trace of pain rose in her originally calm heart.

Li Kechuan's fate was indeed planned by her step by step.

She just wants him to live and not die!

He must fall from the clouds into the mire, he must suffer the torture of life, he must become a useless person!

She was also really happy in her heart.

This is the first time in these two lives that I feel so happy!

Therefore, Li Qingluo really did not regret this matter at all, and was not afraid of the consequences.

Her only hesitation was that she didn't want her grandmother to think she was terrible, and she didn't want her grandmother to be disappointed in her and no longer want her!

Originally, she just wanted to rely on Madam Pei as a backer, but now, unknowingly, the two of them actually developed a deep affection for each other.

In Li Qingluo's heart, Madam Pei has become her most important relative.

So, how could she not be anxious when her grandmother was so angry and disappointed?

Li Qingluo knelt forward and approached Old Madam Pei.

"Grandma, Luo'er has disappointed you. Please hit me!"

She grabbed Madam Pei's hand and slapped herself hard, and Madam Pei slapped her in return.

"Snap!" A crisp sound echoed throughout the room.

Madam Pei was a martial artist, and she really wanted to teach her a lesson when she slapped her just now, so she really used some force.

So after this slap, five clear finger marks immediately appeared on Li Qingluo's face.

Even a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth...

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Pei felt distressed again.

She hugged Li Qingluo into her arms.

"Luo'er, Luo'er! What are you going to do with your grandmother?"

"Grandma wants you to be a good child, and she doesn't object to you fighting for what you haven't gotten but deserve. But, brother-killing... you are a brother-killer!!"

"Besides, your brother is the only legitimate son of the Li family! He's useless. In the future, after I die and your parents die, who can you rely on in the Li family?"

Li Qingluo looked up, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Grandma, I know Li Kechuan is also your grandson, so you will be sad about this. This is Luo'er's fault. But Grandma, if I swallow my anger and don't fight back, will Li Kechuan treat me well?"

"My parents won't care about me."

"If Luo'er was lying in bed with a missing leg today, my grandmother would be the only one in this general's mansion who would be heartbroken for me!"

Mrs. Pei was startled when she heard this.

She felt sorry for her Luo'er, who, at such a young age, could see the reality so clearly.

It turns out she knew everything all along!

But what could she say?

Should I praise her for doing a good job?

Moreover, she never made any excuses and never tried to hide anything from this old woman.

It was me, I was the one who condoned this incident...

Mrs. Pei felt extremely tired.

She waved her hand and said, "Go away. Don't come to see me these few days. Let me be quiet."

In an instant, Madam Pei seemed to have aged a little.

Li Qingluo felt sad when seeing this, but didn't know how to comfort her.

She could only get up and leave reluctantly.

Back at the Red Maple Pavilion, Li Qingluo sat there feeling somewhat lost and dejected. Of course, it wasn't because of Li Kechuan, but because she was afraid that her grandmother would really stop caring about her...

After a while, Nanny Deng came to ask for a meeting.

Li Qingluo calmed down and let her in.

As soon as Nanny Deng came in, she knelt down before Li Qingluo.

"Miss, from now on, let this old slave follow you all the time!"

Li Qingluo was very surprised by Nanny Deng's sudden expression of loyalty.

"Madam, what do you mean? Haven't you been helping me all the time?"

Madam Deng lowered her head and said, "Young lady, you said that I used to help you with your work. But from now on, I want to do things for you."

Li Qingluo: "You...why?"

Li Qingluo looked at Nanny Deng in front of her, not understanding how she could have changed so much overnight.

After what happened yesterday, wasn't she still afraid of her own methods?

"You know, I have no intention of asking for anyone from my grandmother."

"Besides, my grandmother is angry with me now, and I don't know if she will still care about me in the future. I..."

Aunt Deng shook her head and said, "Don't worry, young lady. The old lady was just shocked by your way of doing things, so she is still angry."

"Wait a couple of days, young lady, be humble and try to coax her, how can she bear to ignore you?"

"You don't know, but in the past thirty years, you are the only one who has opened the old lady's tightly closed heart. You are very important to the old lady!"

When Li Qingluo heard this, he did not feel relieved, but instead felt a sharp pain like being pricked by needles.

Her grandmother treated her so differently, yet she took advantage of her repeatedly.

She didn't say anything, but Aunt Deng continued.

"Miss, the old lady is soft-hearted and has too many concerns, so her actions may be slightly different from yours."

"The young lady's move yesterday did scare this old servant, but after returning home, I thought it through. Wouldn't it be more pleasant to follow a master like this?"

"This old slave doesn't want to feel aggrieved. I think what the young lady did is right! Revenge when there is revenge, and revenge when there is hatred."

"Although the method is a bit cruel, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't do so? In this world, there is no such thing as showing mercy when there is no mercy. Only when you show mercy, people will bully others."

Nanny Deng accepted Li Qingluo as her master from the bottom of her heart.

It is also to find a real way out and future for my family and Que'er in the future.

Anyway, she was determined that following the girl would definitely bring her a bright future and good food!

Li Qingluo stepped forward and helped Nanny Deng up.

"Mammy, from now on, you will be the head nanny in my courtyard. I'll trouble you to take care of all my affairs."

After receiving Li Qingluo's approval, Nanny Deng happily retreated.

She first called Que'er and Cui'er to her side, and then beat them both severely.

"The rule at our Red Maple Pavilion is just two words: keep your mouth shut!"

"Remember, think carefully before doing anything. Don't implicate the girl, don't drag her down, and don't cause her unnecessary worries!"

"If anyone violates the rules, no matter who it is, I will strictly punish them!"

"..."

There are very few people in the Red Maple Pavilion.

There are only four people in total, including the master and the servants.

The people guarding the yard outside were transferred from Jingci Hall, so Li Qingluo usually didn't have to worry about them.

However, Aunt Deng still began to strictly follow the rules, thinking that from today on, the Red Maple Pavilion must have serious rules.

Li Qingluo had never been a proper master in her two lifetimes, so she actually had no idea how to manage the affairs of the courtyard.

Since Nanny Deng wanted to enforce the rules, she simply left everything to Nanny Deng and stopped worrying about it.

On this day, the entire general's mansion was still quiet.

Over at Lancang Courtyard, people were still coming in and out, but no one dared to make a sound.

At the Red Maple Pavilion, another ordinary day passed.

During the day, Li Qingluo applied some medicine on her face.

Now that I'm lying in bed, my face doesn't hurt much anymore.

But she tossed and turned and just couldn't fall asleep.

Just as I sat up and was about to get out of bed to drink some water, the candle in the room shook and suddenly went out.

Li Qingluo had been practicing martial arts for nearly two months and had made some progress. She immediately realized the danger and drew the sword hanging beside the bed, pointing it at the darkness.

Someone entered this room.
