Chapter 150: The false young miss already knew she was a counterfeit?

Upon these words, Qu Shi's figure shuddered again!

"If she had known all along yet kept it from us these years… She clearly knows that Luo'er is our daughter, and yet she let her suffer in her own true home, never once volunteering to tell us…"

"She was only eleven years old back then!"

Moreover, her plot to fake her death by self-immolation was merely to escape her engagement to the third son of the Zhongyi Hou Fu, merely to climb higher and become a concubine of Prince Yun?

"Her thoughts are actually so vicious and stupid; what's more laughable is that we knew nothing at all! Deceived by her for so many years, we ended up hurting Luo'er for her sake……"

Qu Shi grew more anguished the more she thought, covering her face as she could no longer hold back and burst into tears before everyone.

Li Kechuan's face also lacked any color, as pale as a corpse.

From beginning to end, he didn't even dare to cast his gaze toward Li Qingluo.

Li Chao Jing: "This woman is vicious; she cannot be allowed to stay!"

Having said that, he actually intended to immediately turn around and execute Li Qingzhu.

Li Kechuan's figure twitched slightly, but he restrained himself.

Pei Lao Furen snapped angrily: "What foolishness! If you keep acting on your own, I'll dump this mess on you today and wash my hands of any household affairs!"

"Have you decided?"

Li Chao Jing: "Mother! This woman is vicious; she has brought our family to this point, and we absolutely cannot keep this calamity!"

Pei Lao Furen: "Who told you to act in haste!? The person I need to deal with right now is not just Li Qingzhu!"

Pei Lao Furen's gaze then fell upon Deng Lao Yiniang.

Deng Lao Yiniang trembled all over, and her two sons behind her hurried forward to kneel.

They whispered in Deng Lao Yiniang's ear, lamenting: "Madam, how did you get mixed up with that Li Qingzhu? She's brought trouble upon our young lady as well!"

"Exactly, Mother… Auntie, how are we sons supposed to speak for you?"

Deng Lao Yiniang's face filled with panic, she lowered her voice even more and snapped: "How would I know she's such a shameless little slut!"

Li Chao Jing glanced over there, his chest heaving violently.

"Mother, I know you resent Deng Yiniang, because back then she took my son, and I took her as my own mother, which drove you away for many years."

"But Mother, this isn't the time for us mother and son to settle old grudges; we must first deal with this scandal and calamity befalling our Jiangjun Fu."

Pei Lao Furen: "Don't I know what to do? Do I need you to teach me how to act? If so, then today this household will be yours to run! Whether you want to beat or kill, I'll have nothing to do with it!"

After saying that, Pei Lao Furen rose to leave; seeing this, Li Chao Jing then dropped to his knees heavily.

"Mother! I, I… I know I was wrong! I beg Mother to stay, don't abandon your son……"

Pei Lao Furen's steps halted.

She turned her head to look at Li Chao Jing.

How many years has she been waiting for these words?

She is already one foot in the grave.

She had thought she would need to spend a lifetime with a lone green lamp to atone for the sins of her first half of life.

She had also thought that her only biological son turning against her in this life was punishment for the killing karma of her life and the sins of her two older brothers.

Yet she never imagined she would still be waiting for this day!

Pei Lao Furen found it laughable.

Pei Lao Furen turned and sat down again, glanced at Li Chao Jing once, and said: "Today I will question Deng Lao Yiniang with my words; I naturally have my reasoning and evidence!"

"For you? You're probably being overly sentimental!"

Li Chao Jing's expression flickered with a hint of bewilderment and embarrassment; not yet grasping the meaning, Pei Lao Furen again shouted: "Bring that person here!"

Immediately afterward, a woman with her head lowered was brought forward.

Upon seeing the person clearly, Li Chao Jing and Qu Shi were both greatly startled.

"How could it be you!!"

The person slowly lifted their head, their expression numb yet cold as they stared straight ahead.

Deng Lao Yiniang's body went limp, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Even Li Chao Huai and Li Chao An were greatly startled.

The other members of the second and third branches all looked terrified; seeing this person, they were as if they had seen a ghost.

"It's the eldest aunt!"

"Wasn't she dead?"

"Good heavens, could we be seeing a ghost in broad daylight?"

"If they've been dragged up here, how could they still be a ghost?"

"Then what on earth is going on?!"

The members of the second and third branches instantly fell into chaos, a picture of panic.

Li Qingluo was also shocked in her heart.

This person, in fact, was someone I had asked my grandmother to look for.

She is no one else; she is precisely the woman who was together with Li Qingzhu on the day she was abducted by the Lotus Sect.

After that cliffside battle, Li Qingluo lost track of this woman.

Not knowing whether she was alive or dead, nor whether she remained within the Lotus Sect.

So, after returning, she hurriedly had her grandmother search for this woman's whereabouts; moreover, she heard Li Qingzhu repeatedly calling this woman "aunt," while Li Qingzhu's own paternal aunt is clearly Liu Jinzhi.

Thus Li Qingluo thought of the Deng Lao Yiniang family outside the estate.

Deng Lao Yiniang bore the Li family two sons and two daughters.

The youngest daughter married far away, leaving only the eldest daughter whose age matches this person!

But when Li Qingluo returned and made inquiries, she learned that this woman had actually died eight years ago!

Li Yunchu, if I haven't misremembered, eight years ago you were at the suburban Tan Shan Temple, you died to save Qu Shi! Now you are actually like Li Qingzhu, actually resurrected!

What on earth is going on? Hurry up and explain!

Otherwise, don't blame me for serving you with your family's law!

This woman is named Li Yunchu, the eldest concubine-born daughter that Granny Deng bore for the old general.

Eight years ago, outside Tan Shan Temple, a band of brigands blocked the road of Qu Shi and her entourage of ladies, saying they wanted to rob wealth, but they ended up burning the carriage.

Li Yunchu also happened to be among them; she stepped forward, rescued Qu Shi from the carriage, but she herself was taken away by those brigands.

Finally, I heard that Li Chao Jing personally went to look for people, but only found one of Li Yunchu's shoes by the river.

The Li family joined forces and searched for several days; in the end they also captured the brigands, who confessed, saying they had already killed the person and dumped the body in the river.

Li Chao Jing then buried Li Yunchu, who had been divorced by her husband's family, in the Li family ancestral tomb.

But the result is, she is actually not dead now!

Qu Shi let out a startled cry: "What on earth is this? You weren't supposed to save me back then... you... you clearly..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunchu raised her head and laughed 'hahaha'.

As she laughed, tears streamed down her face.

"Save you? My aunt back then brought her four children, and when I was still young, your husband ruthlessly drove them out of Jiangjun Fu!"

"I hate you so much I haven't even had the chance; how could I possibly save you?"
