Chapter 301

Pei Lao Furen slowly rose: "Luo'er, don't rush, first fill your belly, then later come to the front courtyard to find grandmother."

Li Qingluo obediently watched her grandmother leave, just sat down and was about to continue eating when the back window again made a 'clang' sound.

It sounded like a stone hitting it.

Li Qingluo looked at the grannies guarding outside the door; they didn't hear it?

She rose, puzzled, and walked to the back window; upon opening it, she saw two tall figures standing outside.

It was Zhui Yu with a foolish, silly grin; his expression seemed to say: "Miss, miss, it's me, it's us!"

And there was Prince Su wearing a half-white mask.

Has he changed masks?

Lord Yue Five's identity died at Jingyun Shan Zhuang, so obviously the one who should be locked up in Prince Su's residence, Prince Su Your Highness, is now pretending to be who?

Li Qingluo held back her laughter, half her body leaning on the windowsill, looking at Prince Su outside resting his chin on his hand, she asked: "May I ask, sir, who are you?"

Zhui Yu: ……

Oh dear? Should we next ask, for trespassing the inner chambers, what crime should this lecher be charged with?

Zhui Yu gave a mysterious smile.

But unexpectedly Prince Su directly lifted his mask to reveal his true face: "I heard there's a commotion at your residence; I, the prince, have come today to take a look."

Zhui Yu instantly felt disappointed.

Indeed, it's because Your Highness is too boring that after so long you still haven't won the miss's heart, right?

Li Qingluo, on the contrary, was delighted; she turned sideways and extended her hand in invitation: "Oh, it's Your Highness. Won't you please come in quickly?"

Duan Rongshi looked at the windowsill before him: "So, she wants him to enter from here?"

Li Qingluo saw his furrowed, troubled expression and couldn't help bursting into "haha" laughter.

"Your Highness, I won't tease you anymore, haha..."

"Please come in through the front quickly. Those grannies probably already noticed you two coming, haha..."

After entering Jingci Tang, they also did not deliberately conceal their traces; Zhui Yu was already a familiar face, and everyone had interacted in the osmanthus garden, so the grannies all put on an act of pretending not to hear or speak.

Li Qingluo wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes.

It was really hard to deceive him, but she didn't dare to get too carried away.

Prince Su saw her laughing so happily, he moved his lips but ultimately said nothing, merely turning and obediently walking forward.

Zhui Yu:?

When did the miss become able to tease their prince like this?

Heavenly Bodhisattva, she's probably the first person in the world daring to tease their Your Highness like this!!

Miss, truly I don't know whether it's great fate or great fortune...

Li Qingluo naturally has both great fate and great fortune.

She left the main house; Duan Rongshi had already put his mask back on and stood with Zhui Yu in the courtyard waiting for her.

Li Qingluo, having eaten her fill and rested well, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Prince Su: "Your Highness, if you want to see the liveliness, tonight you'll have to be wronged, serving as a lowly guard for a commoner girl."

After all, only as a guard can one openly appear by her side and openly watch the show.

Her eyes bright as she stared at him, thinking: I wonder if this Yama-like killing god can endure this stifling identity?

Duan Rongshi really seemed too bored.

He actually replied: "No problem."

Zhui Yu: Eh???

Your Highness, you really have changed!!

Zhui Yu shook his head and clicked his tongue, yet happily followed along.

Finally, there's a good show to watch.

I've long known that the drama at the miss's residence is livelier than that of the theater; today we can finally watch it openly!

Hahaha!

Front courtyard.

Li Qingluo, accompanied by Duan Rongshi, Zhui Yu, and two grannies, rushed to the front courtyard where the clan elders were pressing hard against Pei Lao Furen.

"Lady Pei, what exactly do you want to do? After all, since marrying into the Pei family, you have failed to fulfill your duty as matriarch to propagate the lineage; instead, because of a concubine you grew jealous and abandoned everything, causing the entire Pei family to lack a matriarch to manage it, and now the Jiangjun Fu has become this way—do you really have no fault or responsibility?"

"If Jing'er really did something wrong these years, you as his mother have also never fulfilled your duty to guide and advise him; now that he's ill, you can coldly ignore him—you truly are a poisonous woman!"

"And what about Qu Shi? As her mother-in-law, have you ever taught her anything for even a day? Her foolish deeds, you cannot escape responsibility for them either!"

"We've said everything we could to you! You just won't listen, ignoring the mess of the Pei household, still wanting to walk away as you did back then?"

"Leave? You are a woman; if you again commit such vicious, ungrateful acts, don't blame the Li clan for completely expelling you from the genealogy! Let you, after a hundred years, have no place to be buried!"

Li Qingluo strode in: "Expel! Best to immediately cleanse me and my grandmother completely from that thoroughly rotten genealogy!"

"Do you really think we grandmother and granddaughter cherish the Li surname?"

"And you cursed my grandmother as a poisonous woman. My grandmother back then was simply too kind, which is why she didn't turn the Jiangjun Fu upside down!"

"Stirring up trouble, exhausting schemes, daring to let a concubine stand in for the legitimate son's mother and even rush to her head to show off—no one in the Jiangjun Fu regarded my grandmother, no one thought to uphold justice for her, and no one backed her."

"Driving her out of the Jiangjun Fu, is that solely my grandmother's fault?"

"My grandmother back then gave her all to everyone in the Jiangjun Fu, and to her mother-in-law she devoted herself wholeheartedly to serving and honoring her—yet has anyone truly protected her even a bit?"

"Furthermore, if it weren't for my grandfather's fickle lack of righteousness—he didn't even remember my grandmother's sacrifice of risking her life on the battlefield to save him—his dirty deeds drove my grandmother to utter despair, so how could she not have left?"

"If I were my grandmother, nobody in this manor would get off easy; it's not enough to just leave—at the very least I'd demand the concubine's life, half the life of the unfaithful man, half the Jiangjun Fu's wealth, and a proper settlement before letting it rest."

Li Qingluo finished speaking, and had already reached Pei Lao Furen's side.

Along with her coming in, there were also two outside men and two more grannies.

Seeing her so domineering, the Li clan elders all flushed with anger, each face as red as pig's liver.

You, you you, you truly have rebelled against heaven, a young lady, and still a young lady of the grandson generation—how could there be a place for you to speak here?

Get lost!

Rude and arrogant, overbearing and barbaric thing, do you know who we are? You still dare to be arrogant in front of us!

Come here. Drag this little evil creature away and give him a harsh slap and scolding!

However, the Jiangjun Fu's original servants had long witnessed Li Qingluo's prowess, and now not a single person dares to step forward.

Moreover, the whole room is full of grannies standing; who would dare to seek death?

But the clan elders also brought a few people.

These few people, seeing no one moving in the Jiangjun Fu, rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

However, before they even entered the gate, they were blocked by Zhui Yu wielding a sword horizontally at the doorway.

When my young lady is giving instructions, she doesn't like to be disturbed.

After saying that, he raised the sword blade and struck heavily; the two people in front of him fell backward uncontrollably.

Then the two in front, together with the several behind, all fell to the ground.

'Ayoy' cries rang out in unison, and Zhui Yu turned and went out, pointing with the sword hilt at those people.

Who dares to step forward and try?

The Li clan usually lives on the manor.

These clan elders are merely ordinary farmers who, because the clan produced a Jiangjun Fu, bought a large manor to settle the whole clan, and now live relatively prosperously.

So the people following him are merely Li Qingluo's peers from the same clan, his brothers.

These people, how many of them have ever seen such a scene?

Even this Jiangjun Fu is actually being entered for the first time today.

At this moment, having been intimidated by Zhui Yu's two moves, each one dares not move.

Those clan elders were so angry they stomped their feet.

Rebellious, rebellious, truly rebelling against heaven! Pei clan, do you even care about this evil obstacle?!

Otherwise, you really think we don't dare to expel her from the genealogy again?!

After all, Li Qingluo was only added to the genealogy half a year ago.

Being able to be entered into the Li family genealogy is a great honor; who in the world would not cherish it?

They don't understand that Pei Lao Furen and Li Qingluo truly don't care.

A young lady's life is born in her natal home, married into her husband's home, and she never truly has a home of her own.

Whoever wants to drive them away can easily do so.

But why can't they have a home of their own?

Establishing a separate household is just a matter; she is also not unable to do it.

These years, she should have done this long ago.

Pei Lao Furen laughed 'hahaha'.

She took Li Qingluo's hand and patted it: 'What our Luo'er says is not wrong.'

Every sentence, every character, is not wrong.

Old I really was useless back then; otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the battlefield to rescue a man with feces in his brain!

Luo'er, grandmother thanks you for speaking these words for me, venting these grievances, supporting me. Grandmother truly… has never had such happiness.

Pei Lao Furen nodded with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, her eyes are full of Li Qingluo, this obedient grandchild.

Okay child, next grandmother will speak.

Li Qingluo obediently stood to the side: 'Yes, grandmother.'

Only then did Pei Lao Furen's gaze coldly sweep over those few old men.

She coldly smiled: 'You really think I'm old, so as a woman you can bully me at will?'

You show off your might before me; I, the old one, can still tolerate it for a while.

But you still want to bully my Luo'er's head—that is absolutely unacceptable!

Don't forget, back then half of the Jiangjun Fu's military merits were earned by me, Pei Xiuzhen.

Without me, how could you all have what you have today?

You still want to suppress me with the clan chief's status—no way!

Even if the Jiangjun Fu is later ransacked and the clan exterminated, I won't care!!

Why, she merely married that unfaithful man, clearly betrayed by this whole family, yet the world still demands she wholeheartedly devote herself to nurturing this family, to devote herself to this family?

Her son is her own flesh and blood, yet he also wants to kill her!

Her daughter-in-law is foolish and toxic, and her natal family is even more full of hidden malicious intentions!

As for her grandson, forget it—he's a cancerous tumor, fundamentally not deserving to live.

Even if her bloodline is completely cut off, what then?

She is willing to suffer heavenly thunder and lightning, only wanting Luo'er and herself in the latter half of life to live more happily.

Alright!

This time I summoned you not to have anyone mediate justice, but to see how to clean up this Jiangjun Fu's mess.

Today, I the old one and Luo'er willingly sever ourselves from the genealogy and clan lineage, from now on no longer belonging to the Li family!

You all think it over.

Otherwise, I the old one don't mind selling the entire Li family first, then coming to clean you up!
