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

Li Chaojing knew about this a few days ago.

He was silent for a long time before telling Qu: "From now on, don't say things like 'you are not as good as Zhu'er' in front of Luo'er."

Qu was shocked and almost cried: "Why, why? Master, Zhu'er is our daughter too!"

Li Chaojing glared at her fiercely, "You're still confused! Don't you think about it? Chuan'er is so sure, he keeps saying that he really saw Zhu'er! Otherwise, why would he be so stubborn and crazy as to break into Prince Yun's private residence?"

"That house is now empty. I can't find out anything. But I'm not a fool about this matter, and neither is Chuan'er!"

Qu was so cold that she held on to the table and almost fell down.

"Master, what do you mean? Could it be that Zhu'er... is really Zhu'er's soul...?"

Li Chaojing shook his head speechlessly.

"Forget it, you ignorant woman, what can I say to you!?"

"Now that Zhu'er is dead and Chuan'er is in this state, do you think I can still ignore Luo'er?"

"If she can truly possess some real skills and marry into the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion in the future, and then together with Zhuang Sanlang, they can support the family on their own, then with Zhuang Sanlang's talent, his life will definitely be more than mediocre! Our General's Mansion will not decline so quickly after my death!"

After Li Chaojing finished speaking, he strode away without giving Qu a chance to breathe.

After a while, Qingyi came to Qu and said that Li Chaojing had gone to Lou's yard. Only then did Qu react.

Naturally, she was so angry that she almost went crazy. She overturned all the porcelain on the table to the ground and smashed them to pieces.

"This bitch! She's already old, but she can still seduce the master to go to her yard!"

"Ever since she came back, I haven't had the chance to properly discipline her, and yet she's the first to act rashly! Since she's so restless, don't blame me for being ungrateful!"

Qu's usually gentle face now revealed a bit of viciousness.

Luoxia Garden.

Lou knelt on the ground tremblingly and held the hot tea in her hand in front of Li Chaojing.

"Sir, please have some tea."

Li Chaojing asked her to raise her head.

Lou tried her best to appear submissive, and raised her head with misty eyes.

She bit her red lips lightly, looking pitiful.

Li Chaojing sighed and shook his head: "It's only been six years, how come you look so old?"

Lou's face turned pale instantly, and even the color of her lips disappeared.

But in fact, she just has two more fine lines at the corners of her eyes. How can she really look that old?

It's just that it's no longer as tender as before.

Her eyes were red with grievance. "Master, I... am indeed old. But Master, you are still as majestic and heroic as ever. It's my fault. I didn't expect to see you again, so I didn't take good care of my face..."

Lou was also a beautiful woman in the past, otherwise Li Chaojing would not have succeeded in front of Qu.

A hint of disgust appeared in Li Chaojing's eyes, and he turned his gaze to his concubine's daughter.

A timid little girl stood at the door, not daring to come over.

She looks pretty, and has some resemblance to the combination of me and Lou.

"What's her name?"

Li Chaojing came here today not to renew his old relationship with Lou.

Lou: "Master, I don't dare to give the girl a name, so I have always called her Huan'er. Please give the third girl a formal name!"

"Huan'er, come here and meet daddy!"

When the concubine's daughter knelt before him with her aunt, Li Chaojing slowly said a name: "Then call her Li Qinghuan. You are her aunt, and you have worked hard to take care of her these past few years."

"But, Madam Lou, I plan to send Huan'er to be raised by Madam."

"As you know, Zhu'er and Chuan'er have had their accidents, and Madam has been unhappy lately, and her mood has changed drastically. Perhaps having a child around would make her feel better."

Lou's expression changed drastically, unable to control herself. "Master, this...how can this be allowed? Huan'er grew up in the countryside and doesn't know the rules. If she offends the mistress, I will never be able to atone for this even if I die!"

Li Chaojing had already made up his mind about this matter, so he had no patience.

He stood up and waved away Lou's hand. "Alright! I have the final say on this matter. How can you, a concubine, raise a child well? What future can she have if she follows you? Think it over!"

"In two days, I'll have someone bring Huan'er to Chunzaitang. Tell her clearly in advance so she doesn't act out of temper in front of the Madam!"

After saying that, Li Chaojing ignored the tears rolling down Lou's face and asked her to continue serving him by taking off his shoes and washing his feet.

Red Maple Pavilion.

When Que'er came back from Xishi, she looked very angry.

Li Qingluo noticed that she was still holding the box and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Who messed with our Que'er?"

Que'er put the box down and said angrily with a dissatisfied look on her face, "Miss, you said you had an appointment with the blacksmith at the smithy. I went there and told him your name, Mr. Li, but they said they wouldn't accept your things!"

"Who is this guy? Isn't he trying to trick me?"

"Girl, don't ever go to that blacksmith shop again!"

Li Qingluo's face was filled with confusion. "You won't accept my things? Did the blacksmith open the box and look inside?"

Que'er shook her head: "I didn't even answer the call. I just heard your name, Mr. Li, and your face changed!"

Li Qingluo: That means I don’t want to do this business with her anymore.

But why?

It was the blacksmith shop that took the initiative to mention the attitude the first two times, but within three days, its attitude suddenly changed!

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Que'er didn't dare to complain anymore.

Just at this moment, Cui'er came in with some snacks.

Li Qingluo was not in the mood to eat.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

Li Qingluo looked at Que'er. "When we returned home that day, you said you felt like someone was watching us from behind. You turned around to look for them but couldn't find them. Que'er, do you think someone was really following us that day?"

Que'er nodded hurriedly: "Yes, young lady. I just always felt like someone was watching us. This feeling disappeared when I returned to the mansion."

Li Qingluo nodded. "Then I understand. Well, if he doesn't want it, then so be it. There's no rush for this."

The blacksmith shop must have sent someone to follow her that day, wanting to know where she came from.

The owner behind the blacksmith shop might have had some conflict with the general's mansion, which is why he suddenly changed his attitude.

Li Qingluo was just thinking about this when Nanny Deng came in and said, "Young lady, the master has gone to Concubine Lou's courtyard."

Li Qing paused, "Oh...?"

It has been some time since Aunt Lou came back.

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Qingluo did not meet her.

At the beginning, Li Qingluo wanted to find both Concubine Lou and Concubine Zheng. In addition to wanting to completely disrupt the backyard, he also wanted to cause trouble for his biological mother Qu and divide her favor.

However, Li Qingluo was not very sure about the matter of dividing the favor.

After all, this old man is already quite old. She thought that only by getting some more beauties back as soon as possible would it be effective. Unexpectedly... Only a few days after Li Kechuan's accident, their father wanted to seek comfort from other women?

But she didn't think Li Chaojing would be such a person.

"Mammy, please pay attention to whether Luoxiayuan has ordered water tonight."
