The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill
Chapter 26: Mother's Life
Li Qingqian poured her a cup of hot tea to temporarily relieve her pain. "Don't be afraid. Look, you did a great job just now. You just need to answer the questions I'm going to ask you next. I promise you will leave here unharmed."
She took out two pieces of paper and waved them in front of Yu Luo. "Liu is really bold. You are not a lowly slave or a criminal slave. Your deed of residence and your indenture are both hanging in the public library. Yet she dares to beat and scold you at will."
Yu Luo took the things and now had no respect for Liu. "She thought that since she married into the Li Mansion and became the mistress of the Li Mansion, no one could shake her position. Naturally, she is a little arrogant."
If the subordinates made mistakes, such as talking back to the master, being disrespectful, or stealing, it would be reasonable to punish them for these things. However, Liu would beat and scold her for every little thing over the years, regardless of whether she was wrong or not.
People outside only know that they live a glorious life, but they don’t know that behind this glory is endless beatings and insults.
When Yu Luo was young, her family was poor and she didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. She was sold to the Li Mansion at an early age just to exchange some meat for her younger brothers and sisters.
So apart from death, Yu Luo was most afraid of being penniless. For the money that Liu gave her as a reward, she endured any hardship.
"Whatever the lady wants to ask, I will tell her everything. As long as the lady can let me live." Yu Luo's voice was already weak due to the pain.
Li Qingqian smiled and said, "I admire your strong will to survive, but whether you can survive or not is not up to me."
Yu Luo was stunned for a moment, not yet realizing what this meant.
Li Qingqian straightened his expression and asked in a very serious tone, "You have been with Liu for so many years. Do you know whether my biological mother's death had anything to do with her?"
Yu Luo frowned weakly and recalled everything carefully in her mind.
Li Qingqian didn't urge her. She had been with Liu since she was a child, and she was the only person around Liu who knew what happened that year. She had to think about it carefully, the more she remembered, the better.
Finally, Yu Luo shook her head weakly, "I was five years old at that time, and I don't remember much, so Liu dared to take me with her. I only remember one thing - the girl's biological mother definitely did not die in childbirth."
Li Qingqian suddenly raised his eyes, staring at her with a cold gaze for a long time, and then smiled gently: "I'm not in a hurry, think about it slowly, every word you say is related to whether you can survive."
Yu Luo was a little impatient, she was anxious! But how could she dare to lie to Li Qingqian at this moment?
"I remember this incident very clearly. I was young at the time, and I once asked Liu why the late Madam died of complications during childbirth even though she had already finished her confinement. Wasn't she alive and well? She was locked up in a remote courtyard in the Li Mansion."
"Liu covered my mouth and stopped me from asking any more questions. She only told me that my late wife died of complications during childbirth," Yu Luo shook her head. "She was lying! My late wife was getting better and better after the confinement. One day, I followed Liu's instructions to deliver food to my late wife. I was late because I was playing on the way. When I got to the outside of the yard, I saw a tightly wrapped person in the house bringing a bowl of medicine to my late wife."
"Give me medicine?" Li Qingqian's eyes narrowed.
Yu Luo nodded and said, "I remember that the medicine smelled very bitter, so I just put the food at the door and ran away. Later, Liu no longer asked me to deliver food, and not long after that, the late Madam passed away."
"Did my mother drink the medicine herself, or did that person force it on her?"
Yu Luo's eyes flashed with confusion, "I don't know about this. Miss, you should know that children are most afraid of the bitter taste of medicine, so I didn't stay there for too long. If you want to know more, you can go to Yunzhou to find Chen Ma, Liu's former dowry. She married again and went to Yunzhou a few years ago. She must know more than me."
Li Qingqian put down the teacup and looked at her. "How can you remember the memory of being five years old so clearly?"
"This is the biggest secret in my heart," Yu Luo looked at her, "I am just greedy for Liu's money. I am not really stupid. I have also left a way out for myself. I believe Yun Shang is sitting there and has written down all these confessions. I have already told you everything I know, and I will press my fingerprints and sign it now."
Li Qingqian glanced at Yun Shang, and she nodded at him, indicating that she had taken note of it, and then let Yu Luo go over and press her fingerprints.
After signing the agreement, Yu Luo dragged her uncomfortable body back to Li Qingqian and held out her hand expectantly, "Can you give me the antidote now, young lady?"
Li Qingqian glanced at her and raised her red lips slightly, "It's just an ordinary diarrhea medicine, originally used to treat constipation. It won't kill anyone."
Yu Luo's outstretched hand froze, "Are you, Miss Third, deceiving me?"
"Why would I lie to you? Do I want to drag An Ning into the crime of murder?" Li Qingqian smiled wickedly, "Any doctor can cure your pain."
"Third Miss, you!" Yu Luo was shaking with anger. She had given up her lucrative job with Liu just to survive, but she was fooled by her!
Li Qingqian's eyes became even colder, "Yu Luo, who allowed you to be with me? Let me ask you, which is more important, money or life?"
Yu Luo answered without hesitation: "Of course it's fate."
"But you have been living under Liu's hands day after day, year after year. Aren't you afraid that you will be beaten to death one day?"
Listening to her words, Yu Luo's eyes became a little uncertain. Of course she was afraid!
"What does the girl mean?" She has to think of a solution for herself, right?
Li Qingqian had already thought it through. She asked Yunyi to go to the inner cabinet and get a bundle. She said to Yuluo, "In the bundle there are some small change and banknotes, a few clean clothes, and some snacks that the kitchen just made this morning. You change into the clothes of the maids in my courtyard, dress up like Yunyi, and follow me out of the house."
"My people can only escort you out of the capital. You can decide the rest of the way by yourself," Li Qingqian said with a cold look in her eyes. "If the Liu family sends someone to track you or even kill you, I will pretend not to see it."
"girl……"
"Don't think I don't know that you were the one who instigated Liu Clan to find that stupid master!"
Li Qingqian was really angry at this moment.
She was worried that Liu might have calmed down by now. After all, Yu Luo was someone she had been used to for so many years, and she might take her away again.
That's why she took the risk of getting Yu Luo out and asking all the questions she wanted to ask.
Now that she has been brought out, she cannot be brought back to Liu and Li Shuyue, lest the relationship between master and servant warms up again. It would be extremely difficult to alienate them then.
I was able to guarantee to escort her out of the capital because she told me about her mother's life. Did she really think that I didn't know the truth three years ago? Did she really think that I could just let that matter go?
Yu Luo didn't dare to say anything now. She lowered her head and was taken by Yun Shang to change clothes.
