The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Chapter 167 The truth behind the daughter swap! The midwife dies!

"Back then, there was a concubine in your mansion named Zheng, your father's favorite. She was pregnant with twins... When she was about to give birth, I obeyed your mother, Qu, and took money to throw the twins born to your father's favorite concubine... and the illegitimate son, into a pond in the cold winter!"

"Originally, we should have thrown it away, but your mother, for some reason, suddenly regretted it... She was afraid that we hadn't handled it properly, that it would surface the next day, and that your father would find out..."

"So, we're asked to quickly retrieve the body and dispose of it properly..."

"But how could we rescue a drowned or frozen baby from such a large pond at that time of night?"

"In the end... all they found was the body of a kitten..."

"We buried the kitten hastily and perfunctorily told your mother..."

"But I was also afraid something might happen the next day... so I packed up and ran away that night..."

"But no matter how long I waited, I didn't see any movement from your General's Mansion!"

"Just then... a nanny found me again..."

"Who do you think she belongs to?"

"It was the maid who worked for Aunt Deng in your house! She told me that she knew what we did... and that she knew all the secrets in your house."

"She wants me to submit and become hers... Otherwise, she'll report me to the authorities!"

"During those years, I did help her do some things. Although I made some money, some of the things I did were life-threatening!"

"The more I do it, the more scared I become..."

"Later, when your mother became pregnant with you, I suddenly discovered another truth... Guess what I discovered?"

"I discovered that the two of them were actually in the same group!!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Your mother and her have always been connected. As for what they did, I don't know..."

"It's just that I'm such a fool. I've been frightened for years, and have done so many things for them, but in the end, I'm just a knife that they use back and forth!"

"If something happens later, will I still be able to survive?"

"So, filled with resentment and hatred, I went to confront Aunt Deng. Guess what she said?"

"She said that your mother was stupid, and that she had only used a few tricks to get your mother to seek her help with the inner court crisis. She wanted to stir up trouble in the General's Mansion as much as possible, so she came up with some ideas for your mother. For example, Concubine Zheng's twins were killed because of the method your mother asked her for advice!"

"It seems that she hates your father too...Hahaha!"

"But since I've been dragged into this muddy water of power struggles, shouldn't I leave myself a way out?"

"So, when that vicious old woman, Aunt Deng, suggested to me again, she told me to keep a trick up my sleeve. I could exchange your General's child for mine and raise him myself. If anything were to come to light in the future, I could use him as a hostage to threaten your mother and get away with it."

"I was just wondering, who should I exchange it with?"

"It just so happens that my daughter-in-law, Wang, will be giving birth a few days earlier than your mother. If my Liu family's offspring were to grow up in your general's mansion and become your legitimate son or daughter, wouldn't it be even more joyful to grow up in such high esteem?"

"It's a pity that what I waited for was a girl born by that unworthy Wang!"

"Never mind, even if she's just a girl, she'll be enough for me in the future!"

"If something happens to me in the future, I will use you to threaten your mother to stop the trouble. If nothing else, my Liu family can also use my granddaughter as a tool to help us rise to prominence! No matter what happens, my Liu family will not suffer any loss!"

"Your General's Mansion has quite a few spies from Aunt Deng, so it wasn't difficult for me to switch you on the day your mother gave birth."

Li Qingluo suddenly interrupted and asked, "What about the Qu family? Are they involved in this?"

Zhao's eyes were a little distracted at this time.

Hearing the word 'Qu family', she laughed coldly, "They? Your grandmother was by your mother's side when she gave birth to you. She was also the first person to see you. Do you think she had any involvement?"

I've seen her when she was just born, so if she was switched, there's no way she wouldn't have noticed!

Li Qingluo felt cold all over.

She had guessed it a long time ago, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this.

"Why? Why would the Qu family do this?"

Zhao shook her head: "I don't know... I really don't know..."

Seeing that he really couldn't get any more information out of her, Li Qingluo was afraid that she would die before she could finish her words, so he had to let her continue what she was saying before.

Zhao was confused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "What a pity... Man proposes, God disposes! The truth I, Zhao Xiu'er, have been waiting for is revealed, but it was your background that was exposed first!"

"I'm in this situation now, and although it's all my own fault, isn't it also your mother's fault?"

"If she hadn't forced me to do those things back then, I wouldn't have been so afraid to make such risky moves and take such unconventional approaches... It's just a pity that in the end... it was all just a dream, and I gained nothing!!"

After Zhao finished speaking, a mouthful of black blood gushed out with a gurgling sound.

"I was wrong……"

"I shouldn't hurt anyone..."

"I shouldn't have harmed the twins for the sake of silver..."

"Otherwise... I would still be myself..."

"Even if I become a midwife... my whole family can live a good life in Jinling City..."

"Why bother going back to those mountains... hiding in fear for all these years..."

"In the end, I got nothing..."

"They are living a good life...but I am dying...and they want me to die quickly..."

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…I’m sorry!!!”

She made a sound, her eyes suddenly widened, her mouth opened, and she stared at the dark ceiling of the prison.

Nanny Deng pulled Li Qingluo away quickly.

Li Qingluo kept looking back, watching Zhao die in agony.

Outside the prison, Sha Lei was left behind and waiting for them.

Seeing her come out, he immediately raised the umbrella that Prince Su had specially left for her: "Miss Li, curfew has arrived. Let me take you back to the mansion."

At this hour, Li Qingluo didn't hesitate and readily accepted the favor: "Thank you, young guard."

The carriage slowly returned to the general's mansion. Although there were patrols blocking the road along the way, every time Sha Lei showed his badge, the carriage was able to pass smoothly again.

Li Qingluo went straight back to the Red Maple Pavilion.

But the news of her leaving the mansion and returning quickly spread throughout all the courtyards of the general's mansion.

Everyone in the second and third rooms was surprised. Why did she go out in the heavy snow?

Besides, it's already curfew, how can she come back safely?

Li Chaohuai: "It seems that this damn girl is really capable!"

Li Chaoan from the third room was also in the second room at this moment, drinking with his half brother from the same mother.

Hearing his brother say this, he sneered: "Otherwise, how do you think our mother was murdered and sent to that nunnery? I think it was all the work of this damn girl!"

Li Chaohuai couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of his mother still suffering in the nunnery.

"No, Third Brother! We have to rescue Mother. Mother has been doing this all for us two brothers these years! Even when it came to that incident, Mother was doing it for us!"

"We can't be those disobedient and unfilial sons who watch our mother suffer while we enjoy the good life!"

Li Chaoan laughed dryly. "But now that things have come to this, what else can we do? The old lady is guarding the mansion inside and out. We are powerless!"

Li Chaohuai: "Before she left, my mother left a letter saying that although she had left the General's Mansion for many years, she still had many people and spies in the mansion. As long as we find these people, what's the worry that we can't accomplish our goal?"

Li Chaoan's heart skipped a beat.

"Second brother, this is no joke. Although the General's Mansion appears to be in the hands of eldest brother, it has actually been completely controlled by that old lady for a long time."

"Even if Mother had planted some spies, how many are left now? How can she accomplish anything?"

"Besides, you know how cruel, ruthless, selfish and heartless Big Brother is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have driven our entire family away back then!"

"Originally, the old lady called everyone from our second and third rooms back this time, and I felt something was amiss... Now, after just a few days back, our mother has been confined to a nunnery?"

"I finally understand. The old lady came down the mountain just to deal with our mother and us, the children she gave birth to!"

"I think we should hold off for now, otherwise we'll be caught again and it will be all over..."

Li Chaohuai specially prepared good wine and food to invite his younger brother to drink today, because he wanted to discuss with him how to save his mother.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such a coward and a coward!

Li Chaohuai was so angry that he jumped up and grabbed his brother.

"If you're so afraid, get out of here!"

Li Chaoan was pulled and pushed out by Li Chaohuai.

Although Li Chaoan rolled on the ground for a while, he didn't get angry after he got up. Instead, he sighed and advised, "Second brother, you should think twice before you act! Can't we take a long-term view and wait a year or two before making a decision?"

It would be great if my aunt died in a year or two.

Maybe the old lady will calm down and won't bother with her illegitimate son anymore?

The three families of theirs finally found peace.

Anyway, ever since Li Chaoan returned to the general's mansion and enjoyed his good life of wealth and luxury, he never wanted to go back to the farm again.

Although he lives a carefree and comfortable life on the farm now, no one calls him "Third Master" when he goes out!

The brand of this general's mansion is still effective. He looks more impressive wherever he goes.

What's more, the affair between the aunt and Li Yunchu has been exposed. Even if they return to the manor, can they still live the good life they had before?

This second brother is so confused!

"Second brother, if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your wife, children and daughters. If you are worried about your aunt, why not send her some money and good things? Don't think about anything else for now..."

Li Chaoan wanted to persuade him earnestly, but Li Chaohuai had completely different ideas from his.

He was angry that Li Chaohuai was a cowardly, selfish and rebellious son, so he took off his shoes and threw them at his brother.

"Get lost! From now on, I will never think of you first, care for you, or give in to you again! Just consider it a waste of time giving birth to you!"

Li Chaoan patted his clothes and didn't care.

"I tried to persuade you kindly, but you didn't listen! If anything happens in the future, just don't involve me!"

Li Chaohuai was so angry that he was shaking all over. He took off his other shoe, but before he could throw it at Li Chaoan, Li Chaoan ran away.

As soon as Li Chaoan left, Li Qingya took her youngest brother's hand and turned around to hide in the corner.
