Although Li Qingluo returned to Jinling in her previous life, she was always deeply trapped in the Li family's backyard, so she was not very familiar with most of the aristocratic families, prominent families and powerful families in the capital.

But she knew that her grandmother's family was of very prominent status.

I heard that when my grandmother married into the Li family, it was because she was attracted by my grandfather's face. The rest of the Li family could not compare to the Pei family in any way, so my grandmother's marriage was always considered a down marriage.

Madam Pei: "My family has three brothers and two sisters. My three brothers are all mighty and heroic, with strong martial arts skills. They are all among the best generals on the battlefield!"

"But when your father was one year old, tragic news arrived from the border. My second brother died in battle, and your grandfather's whereabouts were unknown. I requested the emperor's order to join your eldest and third uncles in the battle to rescue your grandfather, save the soldiers of Daliang, and save the war."

"But in the end... during a battle, your eldest uncle held the rear, while your third uncle and I charged into the enemy camp. Inside the camp, I discovered that your grandfather was still alive and had been captured as a prisoner."

"I wanted to rescue your grandfather. Besides the fact that your grandfather and I were a loving couple at the time, I also didn't want him to be taken hostage at a critical moment and threaten our army and affect the battle situation and morale."

"But in the end, Grandma's insistence annoyed your third great-uncle, who didn't want to cause any more trouble."

"In the chaos, he, out of impatience, broke away from his own team and tried to strangle the enemy general... As a result, he was ambushed and seriously injured."

"Although your grandfather and I brought him back to the military camp, he was ultimately unable to be cured due to a lack of medicinal herbs and incompetent doctors... He ultimately died."

"I couldn't tell my eldest brother the truth, so I endured his scolding silently. In the end, it was your grandfather who told the truth, but your great uncle still ignored me for a long time."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have argued with your third uncle on the battlefield. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost his life. I take responsibility for this."

"Five years later, although your grandfather and I returned home alive, your great-uncle was seriously injured in a battle and could never go to the battlefield again."

"Of the three sons of the Pei family, only one returned alive. And he was a man who could no longer bring honor and glory to the family."

"And this Li family, including me, is still alive and well. What on earth is going on?"

"Even I don't know. It's my fault. I failed to protect them! Why wasn't I the one who died?"

"Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, your two great-aunts, your uncles... they all resent me in their hearts, so naturally their attitudes have gradually become distant..."

"During those years, my parents passed away. I returned home from Qingsong Temple to attend the funeral and pay my respects, but they barely acknowledged my existence and refused to even speak to me."

"This woman, no matter what time it is, always has her mother's home in her heart, but I know that I can never go back to my mother's home..."

"This matter has become a knot in my heart."

"Luo'er. Grandmother knows this is difficult, but... I want to return to Duke Pei's mansion once more in my lifetime and have another reunion dinner with my eldest brother."

"Could you, help me?"

Tears were streaming down Li Qingluo's face.

It turns out that my grandmother's heart was also so painful.

Moreover, it was also because of relatives that I couldn’t get what I wanted.

I'm afraid that I've been practicing in Qingsong Temple all these years because of my uncles, right?

Li Qingluo quickly wiped her tears and asked curiously, "Grandma, why do you believe me? Obviously, Luo'er has no ability..."

Madam Pei smiled and shook her head: "Who said that? Our Luo'er is so capable! You were able to win Grandmother's heart in just a few days and lure her down the mountain and back to the Li family."

"It might be a little hard for my brother, but I feel that you are the only one in the world who can help me do this."

Li Qinglu thought to herself: Since my grandmother trusts me so much, I will definitely fulfill her wish even if it means facing countless difficulties and dangers, as a way to repay her grandmother's love for me.

"Okay. Grandma, please wait for my good news! Luo'er will definitely do his best to accomplish this!"

Li Qingluo held Madam Pei's hand, and Madam Pei patted the back of her hand in return. "I'm not in a hurry. Grandmother is in good health and has at least ten years left to live. But I heard that my eldest brother...hasn't been feeling well in the past two years. Luo'er, this matter can't be delayed."

Li Qingluo took it very seriously.

However, when she returned to the Red Maple Pavilion, she realized that she was completely helpless in the matter.

She needs to think it over carefully and plan it out thoroughly.

Just as I was thinking about something, Qingyi came to the Red Maple Pavilion with a few maids.

Que'er didn't let her in, but Qingyi didn't care.

Smiling, she gave the box in her hand, as well as the boxes held by the long line of maids behind her, to Que'er.

"Madam said that she had been too busy with family matters before, so she didn't think things through. Now that it's been so long since the girl returned, and she still hasn't got two decent pieces of jewelry, she finally realized that she had neglected her."

"Look, last night my lady personally picked out a lot of jewelry from the storeroom that she loved when she was young and gave it to you as a gift."

"Also, Madam said that both the autumn and winter clothes should be made for the girl as soon as possible. But we need to ask the tailor to measure her first."

Que'er was holding a pile of jewelry boxes with a confused look on her face and almost couldn't hold them.

Only when Nanny Deng and Cui'er came out to help did they finally fill up Li Qingluo's table.

After opening them one by one and looking at them again, Que'er was shocked: "Girl, these are not rags this time, but real jewels, jade, gold and silver!"

Li Qingluo saw it all.

The jewels and precious stones almost lit up her room.

Li Qingluo was also confused by Qu's behavior.

A sudden awakening of maternal love?

She felt that it must be impossible.

Therefore, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Qu might be plotting something against her.

She looked at Aunt Deng and said, "Go to Grandmother's yard and borrow two maids to keep an eye on Chun Zaitang."

Aunt Deng: "Yes."

The next day, Madam Deng came to Li Qingluo and said, "Miss, Liu Sui'er is crying and making a fuss, asking to see you."

Liu Sui'er was the girl who disguised herself as Li Qingzhu and led Li Kechuan out of the mansion last time.

Li Qingluo had long known that Liu Sui'er would be unable to contain herself and would come to ask to see her.

It just so happens that I want to meet her too.

"Then I'll trouble you to arrange it, Madam."

Cui'er and Que'er, who were standing aside, looked at each other.

Who is this girl?

Does she really look like a grown-up girl?
