Li Zhaodi clenched the handkerchief in her hand. These words came from the bottom of her heart.
“That’s right.” Li Hao wiped his mucus randomly with the back of his hand and said to Li Yunrong arrogantly, “If you don’t treat me better, be careful that I won’t back you up after you get married in the future! You useless thing!”
“Give it to me!”
He rushed towards Li Yunrong like a little cow, grabbed her cloak with one hand, and pulled down the jade pendant on her waist with the other.
After snatching the jade pendant, he turned and ran, throwing himself into Aunt Li’s arms.
Li Yunrong originally wanted to take back her jade pendant, but she noticed that a pool of sticky liquid the size of a finger was left on the place where Li Hao had just pulled her cloak.
This was…
Li Yunrong instantly seemed to be frozen, and her entire body froze.
It took her a beat to realize that this was Li Hao’s mucus. Goosebumps rose all over her body.
This new cloak was just put on by Chu You in the carriage, but it was dirty now.
Li Hao didn’t care what he had done at all. He happily held the jade bracelet and bragged to Aunt Li, “Grandma, look, my jade pendant is beautiful, right?”
“It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful.” The more Aunt Li looked at it, the more she felt that the jade was really good. Her heart was burning as she said eagerly to Father Li, “Eldest son, go to the Gu family with Second Girl tomorrow to bring the betrothal gift over.”
Father Li’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes. We can’t let others take advantage of so many betrothal gifts.”
Aunt Li smiled until her eyes couldn’t be seen. “These betrothal gifts are just nice for Brother Hao to use when he marries in the future.”
“There’s so much gold and silver, it’s enough for our Brother Hao to marry the daughter of the county magistrate.” Father Li looked forward to the future with a smile.
“Second Girl married a prince. How can the daughter of the county lord be worthy of Brother Hao? At least, she has to be the daughter of a prime minister.” The more Aunt Li spoke, the more excited she became. “With Brother Hao’s looks and character, even the princess of the emperor isn’t worthy.”
“I want to marry a princess!” Li Hao laughed, his mucus flowing down his nose again. “I want to be the prince consort!”
The voices of the Li family came with a hum. Li Yunrong felt the buzzing in her head increase. The four people in front of her were from two different worlds from her. They were out of place.
Boom…
Li Yunrong felt the already shaky faith in her heart collapse.
She, who had been calm and composed after being locked in the imperial prison for nearly ten days, suddenly exploded at this moment.
She pulled off the big red cloak she was wearing and threw it to the ground in disgust. Then, she turned around, picked up her skirt, and ran.
She really couldn’t stay with such a family for another moment!
These people were so despicable, so vulgar, and so greedy. She felt dirty just looking at them.
This should clearly be Gu Yanfei’s house, not hers.
She didn’t have such an unsightly family!
“Second girl!”
“Second Sister!”
“This wretched girl’s temper is too big. Brother, you have to discipline her well in the future…”
The voices of the Li family came from behind Li Yunrong. It was ear-piercing and sharp, making her feel even more disgusted.
She ran forward desperately, only wanting to get away from the Li family and the people who made her feel unbearable.
She ran for a long, long time, passing through streets. She was panting and covered in sweat. When she really couldn’t run anymore, she stopped.
“Phew—Phew—”
She panted quickly and realized that she had unknowingly run down the street.
People came and went on the street, and traffic was heavy.
Only Li Yunrong stood still.
When she met the smiling gaze of an old woman, Li Yunrong couldn’t help but tremble. Her face burned, and she immediately lowered her head and looked away.
She felt that everyone was looking at her. The surrounding soft voices were all discussing her, making her feel like her back was being pricked.
She wanted to escape, but she didn’t know where she could go. The Gu family was no longer her home.
She didn’t know what was left of her.
In just a night, everything she had was taken away.
In their place were those unbearable and dirty things.
She didn’t want such a background. She didn’t want such a family. She didn’t want the world to know all of this.
But everyone already knew how she should establish herself among the noble families in the capital from now on?!
Kang Wang said that no one would laugh at her…
But now, she had already become a joke..
