Chapter 116: Draw the bow and shoot out of the hospital!
Zhuang Wei left Li Qingzhu angrily. Looking at his back, Li Qingzhu wiped away her tears expressionlessly.
This winter banquet at the princess's mansion is her chance to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yun.
So, she definitely has to go!
Even if I have to snatch it, I must get Li Qingluo’s post!
Li Qingzhu was furious: Li Qingluo, since you don't give me face, don't blame me for dealing with you!
Soon, Qu and Li Kechuan both knew about this.
Mrs. Qu wanted to persuade her, "Zhu'er, didn't Luo'er want to inform you about this tomorrow? Why don't we talk about it tomorrow..."
Li Kechuan said coldly, "Mother, you've become biased. Father is fine, but it's my useless and crippled body that has made him disappointed, so he's now acting crazy. How come you've acted like this too? Every word you say is to defend Li Qingluo!"
"After all, Zhu'er is the one who grew up by your side!"
"Does mother place more importance on blood ties now?"
After being scolded by her son, Mrs. Qu looked at them with her mouth open.
Li Qingzhu came to Qu with red eyes and held her arm.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You are not allowed to treat Mother like this! No matter what, Mother is also Sister Luo'er's biological mother. Sister Luo'er has never been favored by Mother over the years. Even if Mother is partial to her now, it is only natural."
After saying that, Li Qingzhu looked up at Qu with tears in her eyes and smiled forcefully.
"Mother, Zhu'er is fine. You don't have to worry about her. It was my brother who insisted on standing up for her, but in fact, Zhu'er doesn't care about that post at all. She just feels embarrassed..."
"Forget it. I've already lost my face anyway. After the self-immolation incident, how can I possibly show up at those banquets again?"
Li Kechuan pulled Li Qingzhu back to his side.
He grasped Li Qingzhu's wrist tightly with his big hand: "Zhu'er, that honor should have been yours. If we don't give this invitation to the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, why should we give it to her? Even though she saved Princess Nanping, it's not acceptable!"
"She's so ignorant that she did such shameful things. I will deal with her for you!"
"Come on, I'll go with you to the Red Maple Pavilion to get the post!"
Watching the brother and sister walk away, Qu inexplicably felt that strange feeling in her heart again.
Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress and keeps popping up.
Why, why can they say these words so confidently?
Although Zhu'er said that she didn't care, in fact, every word she said was full of deep meaning.
Qu inexplicably thought of her previous attitude towards Luo'er, and suddenly a chill came over her heart.
No... Was she like this before?
Do you think Luo'er should give in to Zhu'er in everything, and that Luo'er owes Zhu'er anything?
But ever since Luo'er fell off the cliff... Qu seemed to have suddenly woken up!
Deep down, she didn't want to lose Luo'er!
Moreover, Qu suddenly felt inexplicably more ashamed and indebted to Luo'er.
Sometimes, Qu even dreamed that Luo'er was hanging on a cliff, crying out: "Mother... why don't you love Luo'er? Mother... please love me too... Mother, I want you to hold me too..."
But the reality is that Luo'er is so indifferent and distant to her that he is like a stranger.
If it weren't for what Luo'er said on the cliff that day, Qu Shi would not have known that Luo'er also longed for her love in her heart!
Qu woke up crying several times.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Obviously, Zhu'er is also innocent, and obviously she loves Zhu'er more!
Qu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and followed the two siblings.
No, she can't let Chuan'er bully Luo'er again!
When Qu hurried to Hongfeng Courtyard, she saw a noisy and chaotic scene at the entrance of Hongfeng Courtyard.
It turned out to be Zhuang Sanlang, who was shot out by Li Qingluo before he even got into the gate of Hongfeng Pavilion!
At this moment, Li Qingluo was wearing a goose yellow winter skirt, holding a longbow in one hand, with an arrow on the other hand, and once again aimed at Zhuang Sanlang, who looked pale outside the courtyard gate.
The entrance and exit of the Red Maple Pavilion were crowded with maids and servants.
Everyone stared at the uninvited guests outside the door with a fierce look, as if they were staring at a group of enemies.
Not only that, Qu saw that the second and third wives, who had just returned today, were now crowded in the crowd watching the fun!
Qu felt a darkness before his eyes.
He immediately ran over: "Luo'er! What are you doing? Put it down now!"
Qu was trembling all over and shouting, standing in front of Zhuang Sanlang, Li Qingzhu and others.
She didn't expect that Luo'er was so bold as to try to hurt someone at home!
Is she crazy?!
When Li Qingluo saw Qu coming, he showed no intention of collecting his arrows.
Zhuang Sanlang sneered, "Second Miss Zhuang is so arrogant! I just wanted to borrow your invitation to see if it was true. After all, there's never been any rumors of a winter banquet being held at the Princess' Mansion before, so how come you got it? Not only did you refuse to give it to me, but you even humiliated Zhu'er!"
"I will never allow anyone in this world to humiliate her—"
Li Qing turned the arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow passed through the gap in the crowd and shot straight towards a crooked willow tree.
The crowd exclaimed.
Zhuang Saburo's face also turned pale.
Just now he wanted to break into the Red Maple Pavilion to reason with her, but she was practicing archery in the yard. When she saw him, she immediately shot two arrows at once, nailing them directly at his feet.
Only then did Zhuang Wei retreat.
He thought those two arrows were just her luck!
But now there are so many people around, and she can actually shoot wherever she wants?
Isn’t she a girl from the mountains?
How come his archery skills are so good?
That day on the street, she also personally arrested the woman.
How come she is completely different from what was rumored?
She is different from the noble ladies in Jinling City, and she is not the vulgar country girl as imagined.
Li Qingluo sneered, "I humiliated her, what do you want?"
"Come to me and reason with me. What is the relationship between Mr. Zhuang San and Sister Zhu'er? Oh, I forgot. You two are engaged and engaged."
"But there's no such thing as forcing someone to take their post, right?!"
Having said that, Li Qingluo turned around and looked at Li Kechuan and Li Qingzhu again.
Naturally, both of them looked very ugly.
Li Qingluo: "You want a post? It depends on your ability! But as long as I'm here today, I don't see who dares to trespass into my Red Maple Pavilion!"
As Li Qingluo spoke, she held the longbow tightly in her hand, as if she would not be polite to anyone who dared to come forward.
Li Qingzhu was secretly sweating profusely from anxiety.
With so many people here, how could she talk nonsense about an engagement?
He immediately ignored Zhuang Sanlang and said, "Sister Luo'er, please stop scaring us. Sanlang meant no harm. It was because I felt ashamed that he acted so hastily!"
"He really shouldn't have trespassed into your yard, but Sanlang and I are now innocent, so please don't misunderstand me. You were the one who was betrothed to him back then!"
As soon as Li Qingzhu said this, Zhuang Wei turned his head and stared at her with a look of disbelief.
