Chapter 418 Brother wants to be with Zhu'er for the rest of his life!
Seeing Liu Qingzhu, Qu's face was full of surprise.
She even pinched her thigh hard.
It was not until she felt the pain clearly that she was convinced that all this was real!
She instantly became excited: "Zhu'er?"
"It's really you?"
"Mother thought she would never see you again in this life!"
"But...why are you here too?"
"Could it be that you were also kidnapped to reunite with us?"
"In that case, that's great."
Qu said as she was about to step forward.
Liu Qingzhu thought of many things that happened in the past, turned his head and snuggled into the peasant woman's arms.
She made no effort to conceal her fear.
Seeing this, the old farmer and his wife hugged her tightly.
"What are you going to do?"
"You got the wrong person!"
"This, this is not the pig or duck you are talking about. This is our daughter Hua."
"You, you guys should leave quickly and stop causing trouble for our family."
"We are just ordinary people, please spare us——"
The old farmer and his wife looked nervous and sad.
But he held Liu Qingzhu's hand tightly and did not loosen it at all.
Liu Qingzhu looked up at them involuntarily.
But then Mrs. Qu said anxiously, "This is clearly Zhu'er! Even if she turns to ashes, she is still the daughter I raised with my own hands!"
"Zhu'er, come here quickly."
"What are you doing?"
"Don't you recognize your father, mother, and brother?"
"Look at what your brother has become. Look at what your father has become because of you."
"Zhu'er, we loved you so much in the past, you can't abandon us, come here quickly——"
Qu waved her hand and asked Liu Qingzhu to come over.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she and Liu Qingzhu had already completely fallen out.
But now, facing her disabled son who cannot walk on his own, and the crazy and stupid Li Chaojing, how could Qu not be panicked?
Although he was released from prison, he did not have to be executed.
But she was also afraid of suffering too much alone.
So, just let go of all the old grudges.
As long as I no longer care, Zhu'er should no longer be so petty, right?
She forgot how she turned a blind eye and allowed Liu Qingzhu to be tortured by Li Kechuan in Lancangyuan until she was no longer human, no longer a ghost.
I also forgot how much I loved Liu Qingzhu in the past.
He even forgot that Liu Qingzhu had already been removed from their family tree.
After living in prison for a while, she was no longer the pampered lady in Jinling City, but a sinister monster that was neither human nor ghost.
How could she and they be willing to let go of Liu Qingzhu, the 'culprit' of all this?
Li Kechuan stared at Liu Qingzhu dimly, and slowly spoke: "Zhu'er, maybe you are a jinx."
"They've been very good to you, haven't they? How could you be so selfish, repaying evil with kindness and endangering their lives?"
"Don't forget who you are."
"If your identity is discovered again, don't even think about escaping. You'll kill them again."
"Pearl, come here quickly."
"Don't forget, brother, we still have mother. We have always loved you very much."
"Only we will not abandon you forever..."
Liu Qingzhu covered his ears and growled, still not daring to look up.
"Don't be afraid, flower."
"Dad and Mom are here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
The officers were getting impatient waiting.
They ordered the men of the Li family to carry all the bodies in the yard and bury them.
Then he urged us to get on the road quickly.
As for this Zhu'er they were talking about...if she was really a runaway slave from the Fourth Prince's mansion...
Several officers looked at each other, with ambiguous smiles in their eyes.
Liu Qingzhu caught a glimpse of this scene through the gap and her whole body trembled violently.
"No, our Zhu'er hasn't come yet..."
"Pearl——"
"Zhu'er, come quickly, mother is waiting for you——"
“Zhu’er!!”
A whip was lashed at Qu, and only when she finally became obedient did the surroundings return to silence.
People are gone.
The whole yard was filled with the indelible smell of blood.
Liu Qingzhu looked up at the old farmer couple with tears in her eyes.
She suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground.
She has been pursuing something that truly belongs to her all her life.
The pursuit of true love for oneself has nothing to do with her, Li Qingluo, it is just the love that she, Liu Qingzhu, can get.
She knew that she was unforgivable, evil and selfish, and had cruelly killed many people.
She also had no choice but to be born in the Liu family and occupied Li Qingluo's life.
Occupied her parents and brothers.
She took her childhood sweetheart, Shozoburo, who had been betrothed to her since she was a child.
On the day she returned, she was framed for her fake death and was unable to gain the true love of the Li family.
Even Liu Qingzhu knew clearly in her heart that the Liu family was just using her to climb the ladder to wealth and fame.
None of her family members truly loves her.
Liu Qingzhu once thought that Duan Rongxuan was the only one who was truly sincere towards her.
But only after she got bruised and bloodied did she realize that Duan Rongxuan was the same and only treated her as a new toy.
In the end, it turned out that she was nothing.
Perhaps, this is Liu Qingzhu's fate.
Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.
Now she finally encountered true love.
She also wanted to keep this ordinary true love, but it turned out that even this was a luxury.
Perhaps, after all, she, Liu Qingzhu, is not worthy.
She cried and kowtowed three times to the old farmer couple.
"sorry."
"You've been so good to me, I can't hurt you."
"They're right, I'm a disaster."
"May you two live a long and healthy life."
"Thank you... Thank you for taking care of me these past few days..."
"Goodbye."
After saying this, she didn't dare to look the old farmer and his wife in the eye again. She stood up and ran away without looking back.
"flower--"
The old peasant woman wanted to catch up, but the old farmer grabbed her tightly.
"Don't go."
"She looks like she has made up her mind. We can't stop her."
"Let her go. She never belonged to us in the first place."
The old peasant woman said: "But that child, it's obvious that he has suffered enough!"
"There's not a single good spot on her body. What other girl would have so many scars?"
"And don't you see, old man? No matter who she was in the past, these days she is indeed a good child who is down-to-earth and willing to learn everything."
Old farmer: “So what?”
"Can't you see, old woman?"
"She wanted to protect us."
The old couple hugged each other and cried sadly, and could only let Liu Qingzhu leave completely.
It was as if she had never been there in the past few days, without leaving any trace.
Liu Qingzhu followed the exile team from a distance.
He was soon discovered by the police.
She was pulled out and pushed to the ground.
"What do you want to do?"
"Oh wow, it really is you."
"Could it be that you really want to follow them and leave for the bitter cold north?"
Liu Qingzhu said pitifully, "Sir, I'm here to follow my family."
"Please be so kind as to let me take care of them."
After saying that, she stood up and walked to Li Chaojing, supporting him.
Seeing her coming, Li Chaoan immediately left Li Chaojing behind and moved away.
The appearance of Qu and Liu Qingzhu brought a lot of relief to the brothers Li Chaohuai and Li Chaoan, so they naturally agreed with Liu Qingzhu's staying.
However, the two officers were unwilling to do so.
They wanted to capture Liu Qingzhu on their way back and take him to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to claim the reward.
If I bring her along, and she dies of illness on the way, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Seeing their hesitation, Li Kechuan said calmly, "Don't worry, gentlemen. Her life is worthless."
"You can play however you want."
"As long as we keep her alive and use her as a lowly slave, we, the officials, can have a comfortable journey."
"Is that so, Pearl?"
Li Kechuan's gloomy gaze fell on Liu Qingzhu.
After not seeing her for several months, she was completely worn out.
Where is there any trace of her former charm as the eldest daughter of a general?
Not only was she covered in dust and dirt, but her skin was also rough and cracked like a village woman.
His hands were dark and thin, like dead vine branches, which was disgusting.
His eyes were lifeless.
As dull as a dead person.
However, even so, she can't escape and live a comfortable life!
Everything I have now is caused by her.
They should be tied together forever in this life!
……
There was a sudden rainstorm in Jinling City.
Over a dozen unidentified corpses floated up in the Qinhuai River overnight.
After verification by the coroner and the Dali Temple, it was discovered that they were all from Da Chu.
Although Daliang and Da Chu have been trading normally over the years, these people are not ordinary people from Da Chu.
Not only did they all possess martial arts skills, but they were also not in complete form.
They look more like the eunuch guards of the East Factory of the Great Chu.
But why would the guards of Da Chu come to Daliang?
The body was also found floating in the river within the imperial city.
The people all thought of Princess Qinyu who had been missing for several days.
Suddenly someone said, "Are these all Princess Qinyu's people?"
"Hush—that's no nonsense. To speak ill of the princesses of the two countries is a capital offense punishable by death!"
"Tsk! To put it nicely, she's the princess of two countries, but who doesn't know she's just a raft being pushed back and forth between the two countries?"
"That's right. I heard that if we can't find Princess Qinyu, the Great Chu will have an excuse to attack us!"
"Does our Daliang Kingdom still fear them? Since fifty years ago, the Great Chu Kingdom has never won a single battle against our Daliang Kingdom!"
"Do they dare?"
"The Pei family doesn't have any generals now."
"Isn't there also a Prince Pei? I heard he's also working in the Ministry of War."
"But I heard he didn't achieve any military merit during his years at the border. That's why he came back dejected and sought a job."
"No matter what, the Pei family can never be worse than ordinary people."
As they were discussing, someone started arguing.
They quarreled and finally started fighting.
He was a supporter of Princess Qinyu, and fought a desperate battle with the diehards of the Pei family.
In the end, a life was lost.
After receiving the report, the government quickly issued an order: From now on, people are prohibited from gathering to discuss state affairs.
Anyone who violates this rule will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane!
Those who report meritorious deeds will be rewarded with five strings of cash.
Fifty sticks?
The woman was beaten to death immediately.
Men can also lose half their lives.
Who dares to talk nonsense?
However, on the first day, hundreds of people disobeyed the order and were caught in the streets and tortured.
The whole of Jinling was filled with wailing.
On the second day, those who disobeyed the order suddenly surrendered, with only dozens of people left.
On the third day, only a few people were caught.
The fourth day...
The fifth day...
Soon, no one in the entire Jinling Imperial City dared to discuss state affairs casually.
Even the ministers dared not speak nonsense behind closed doors at home.
Amidst the public panic, news suddenly emerged from the Lotus Sect, which had been silent for a while.
The leader of the Lotus Sect actually openly sent a letter to the imperial palace.
The letter clearly read:
The Lotus God comes to the world, and the Lotus Lord is the Lord of the world.
The Lord of the World will dominate the world for thousands of years!
This letter was not dared to be delivered to Emperor Yan.
Because it fell directly into the hands of the crown prince who is now the regent.
After seeing the handwriting on the letter in his hand, the prince was so angry that he tore the letter into pieces.
