Chapter 142: The False Maiden's Offering Exposed: Family Catches Her in an Illicit Affair?

Deng Mama: "Our people intercepted Deng old concubine's people, knocked them unconscious, copied a copy of the content and brought it back, Miss, please take a look!"

Li Qingluo quickly took it; the letter said how Li Qingzhu was heartbroken, how she regretted and missed Prince Yun, and repeatedly apologized, saying she had been punished, if Your Highness had already despised her, but still please Your Highness give her another chance to meet and speak clearly.

If there is no further fate, she will sever her feelings and not entangle further.

The time is set for this afternoon's Bright Tower elegant room.

Li Qingluo confirmed the letter had indeed been sent to Prince Yun's mansion, and couldn't help but smile: "I've been waiting for this day!"

She flung off the covers, hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the brush, hesitated a moment, then quickly wrote several letters.

"Grandma, one letter for my father. He is going to Zhongyi Hou Fu today, but will surely return disappointed. This letter, I am using this matter to lure him to Bright Tower."

"And this letter is for my mother, Qu Shi."

"This letter is for Li Kechuan."

"This letter is for Zhuang Sanlang."

"The letters must be delivered to them without anyone knowing."

Deng Mama excitedly stretched out both hands to receive them all: "Yes, Miss!"

Que'er couldn't help but be curious: "Miss, what are you planning to do?"

Li Qingluo: "It's time to clear my own name."

They keep saying that Li Qingzhu immolated herself because of her return, that she forced Li Qingzhu into a desperate situation?

Then today she will make them all widen their dog eyes and see clearly what Li Qingzhu is actually greedy for!

She still has some reservations about the Princess's mansion.

But Bright Tower is truly a good place to catch an affair.

Bright Tower.

Li Qingluo entered the side room wearing a veiled hat.

Li Qingzhu's room is right next door.

Deng Mama had already arranged everything up and down; this is a special elegant room where one can hear the next room's sounds, but the next room cannot hear any movement from here.

Surely, grandmother's people have long been able to reach heaven and earth.

Li Qingluo only now knows that grandmother's power and wealth may be several times stronger than she imagined.

She now uses grandmother's people, and finally is becoming more and more adept.

"Miss, Li Qingzhu has already been sitting in the adjacent elegant room for half an hour."

Li Qingluo: "Has Prince Yun not arrived yet?"

Deng Mama: "No. However, the informant says he just left."

Li Qingluo: "Keep an eye on him. If he suddenly changes his mind and doesn't come, I'll have failed. If he doesn't come, have someone lure him!"

Since the adjacent room is already waiting, Li Qingluo here also begins to wait for the person she is waiting for.

She first sat in a small partition behind the screen; the first person to arrive was actually Li Kechuan.

As soon as he entered the side room, he immediately realized there was someone else inside.

He couldn't help but shout: "Zhu'er? Is that you?"

Li Qingluo lured Li Kechuan out in the name of Li Qingzhu.

Surely, once involved with Li Qingzhu, this person completely loses his reason.

Li Qingluo sat still, just silently drinking tea.

She heard Li Kechuan remorsefully apologize to Li Qingzhu: "Zhu'er, elder brother truly knows his mistake!"

"Elder brother that day clearly intended to poison and mute Li Qingluo, but instead let you fall into this irredeemable situation! Elder brother is not a human!"

He fiercely slapped himself, eyes full of tears gazing at the screen.

"Zhu'er, you say you hate elder brother, but elder brother does not hate himself?"

"These past few days you've ignored elder brother, I too am heartbroken... I wish the mute person were me!"

"Zhu'er, I know you feel bitter. Because of the marriage arrangement at Zhongyi Hou Fu, it has fallen onto that lowly Li Qingluo! Zhuang Sanlang actually dared to betray you, elder brother will certainly not spare him!"

"Rest assured, elder brother will take full responsibility for this. Even if you are mute, elder brother will never despise you."

"Do you know, the coral that was by elder brother's side back then was made to look too much like you, which caused elder brother to lose his wits!"

"Zhu'er, actually elder brother has always felt for you, not just sibling affection! I don't know when elder brother... if you feel you have nowhere to belong in this world, elder brother is willing to marry—"

"Wretched beast! Won't you shut your mouth!"

Li Chao Jing let out a violent angry shout, Bang— a huge sound, and pushed open the door.

To the right is Li Qingzhu's elegant room.

To the left is another elegant room that can be connected.

Li Qingluo had already lured Qu Shi and Li Chao Jing into the left-hand elegant room.

Moreover, they had already arrived before Li Kechuan's front foot.

Even every word Li Kechuan had just said was heard by them without missing a syllable.

Li Chao Jing, face full of fury, rushed over and grabbed Li Kechuan from the wheelchair: "Wretched beast, that's your sister! You actually harbor such wicked intentions toward her! Are you still human? Beast—"

Li Chao Jing fiercely slapped Li Kechuan, throwing him to the ground.

Qu Shi covered her mouth, only daring to sob 'wu—wu' behind.

Hearing those words, she felt as if the sky were about to collapse!

Chuan'er he actually, actually really has such thoughts for Zhu'er, they are siblings after all!

The guilt in her heart made Qu Shi, although she felt pity for Li Kechuan's current state, still dare not step forward to help him up.

"Am I a beast? Hahaha, hahaha..."

Li Kechuan lay on the ground, laughing wildly without cease.

Perhaps his secret thoughts had already been seen by the family, his face no longer concealed, revealing madness: "Yes, I love Zhu'er! Shhh—Father, Mother, don't frighten her."

"Zhu'er—did you hear that? Even if the world opposes, older brother feels for you—" Li Kechuan shouted excitedly toward the screen behind, his deep affection wishing to announce it to the world immediately.

Li Qingluo then slowly walked out from behind, lifted a corner of her veil, and revealed her face.

"Older brother, who are you calling? Alas, what a pity—I am not the Zhu'er you cherish."

As she said this, a faint smile appeared on her face, like a myriad feet of cold ice, plunging Li Kechuan into an abyss of ten thousand fathoms!

He let out a startled shout: "How could it be you!!?"

What else does Li Chao Jing not understand?

"Is all of this today your doing? Did you lure us here? Rebellious girl, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Qu Shi also looked anguished: "Luo'er! Why would you treat your older brother like this? After all, he is still your own brother!"

"You still used Zhu'er's name to lure us here—do you hate Zhu'er to this extent?"

"Although Zhu'er enjoyed years of wealth and honor on your behalf, she is ultimately innocent, having done nothing to harm you—why then do you act thus!?"

Li Kechuan: "Li Qingluo, I will kill you—kill you!!"

Facing their fury, Li Qingluo merely raised her finger and softly shushed.

"Don't rush. Listen—it sounds like someone is speaking next door."

Li Qingluo raised her finger, and Deng Mama and Que'er immediately pressed the mechanism.

A wall slowly slid open, and immediately the speech from next door came clearly to their ears—

"Li Qingzhu, what exactly do you mean? Are you planning to offer yourself to this prince today?"

Upon hearing that voice, Li Chao Jing, Li Kechuan, and Qu Shi all shuddered and froze stiff.

Prince Yun…?

Li Kechuan was still crawling on the ground, but instantly lifted his head to glare at Li Qingluo: "Are you going to harm Zhu'er again?"

"Venomous woman! What exactly do you intend to do to Zhu'er?"

"Zhu'er! Zhu'er—don't be afraid, older brother is right here!"

Li Kechuan shouted loudly; Li Qingluo waved her hand, and a sleeve-arrow shot instantly beside Li Kechuan's cheek!

"If you utter another word, I will pierce your skull."

Li Chao Jing and Qu Shi both stared, stunned, at their own biological daughter.

She—what did she just do? How did she manage it?

Moreover, could it be that she truly intends to kill her older brother?

Li Qingluo sat down, lacking patience.

"Listen."

From next door came a hoarse, ghost‑like voice.

"My lord…… Zhu'er previously willingly gave up everything, burned all the slaves to death, feigned death by self‑immolation…… just to be with you……"

"Zhu'er does not want that engagement with Zhuang Sanlang; it is only because, even to this day, her heart remains wholly devoted to you!"
