After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, “15 years ago, Mother Su saved your life!”
Mother Su had told her about what happened back then. Yangzhou was in war, and smoke rose everywhere. At that time, if Mother Su had been ruthless and abandoned Gu Yanfei, Gu Yanfei would have died long ago.
“Is that so?” Gu Yanfei asked meaningfully. Her bright eyes locked onto Li Yunrong’s gaze.
“Of course,” Li Yunrong immediately said.
The black luck surrounding her surged even more, as if it had dyed her eyes. Her eyes were terrifyingly dark.
Gu Yanfei leaned forward and leaned toward Li Yunrong, who was opposite the coffee table. The two of them were less than a foot apart. “Is that really the case?”
In an instant, the black aura around Li Yunrong seemed to be boiling intensely. Her body subconsciously retreated a little, and she immediately tensed up.
Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but laugh lightly.
She looked at Li Yunrong with certainty and said slowly, with a deep meaning, “You knew all along, right!”
“When did you know?”
She retreated again and rested her chin on her hand leisurely. She smiled faintly and said, “Let me guess?”
“Was it when we were in Yangzhou?”
Li Yunrong’s pupils constricted for a moment, and her white cherry lips were forcefully pursed. Even the lines of her chin tensed up.
She didn’t say anything, but Gu Yanfei didn’t care if she admitted it or not.
“Li Yunrong, have you forgotten that I can calculate?”
Gu Yanfei raised her left hand and casually calculated twice. Her beautiful and long fingers seemed to be holding a cluster of light.
Li Yunrong’s gaze was involuntarily attracted by her movements, and her breathing stopped.
Her eyes were as dark as a pool of stagnant water. She wanted to say something, but her throat hurt so much that she couldn’t make a sound.
“You owe me a lot.” Gu Yanfei got up as she spoke. She gently waved her sleeve and walked out without any reluctance, leaving a cold back view.
Li Yunrong sat on the chair expressionlessly.
She didn’t instruct Xia Lian to send the guest away or follow her. She just watched as Gu Yanfei left the room and appeared in the courtyard outside. “Second… Second Lady Gu!” When Aunt Li, who was guarding the courtyard, saw Gu Yanfei, she couldn’t care less about Li Hao, who was lying on the ground and making a fuss. She rubbed her hands and said, “You’re leaving so soon?”
“Why don’t you stay and sit a little longer?” When she smiled, she revealed the top row of yellow teeth that were missing an incisor.
“Yes, yes.” Father Li also bowed and revealed an exaggerated smile. “Come and visit us often in the future.”
The mother and son of the Li family respectfully sent Gu Yanfei and her servant out. They kept flattering them, as if the conflicts in Huaibei in the past didn’t exist.
Li Yunrong was still sitting on a chair by the window. She watched in a daze as Gu Yanfei walked out of the house and disappeared from her vision.
She just sat there for a long, long time without moving. Like a stone statue, she let the spring wind with the petals blow on her face and body.
A moment later, Xia Lian, who had sent Gu Yanfei away, returned in a hurry and walked straight to Li Yunrong.
Li Yunrong’s eyelashes trembled. She still looked out the window and asked calmly, “Has the news been sent?”
“I’ve already handed it over,” Xia Lian reported carefully.
Li Yunrong waved her hand casually, and Xia Lian silently retreated, her footsteps silent.
Crack.
Li Yunrong casually broke off a flower from a few branches of crabapples in the plum bottle. The big red crabapple flower was as red as fire.
She tore off the petals of the crabapple flower one by one. Some landed on the coffee table, some floated into the teacup, and some fell into the hem of her skirt. A few crushed petals dyed her snow-white fingertips red like blood. It was so dazzling.
Li Yunrong muttered, “It was already like this at that time. They all had their own lives… Isn’t it good to make do with the mistakes?”
Her voice was as light as a whisper. When the wind blew, the voice disappeared, so low that only she could hear it.
“Aiyo!” Aunt Li’s sharp voice came from outside the house again, disturbing Li Yunrong’s thoughts. “My little ancestor, get up. The ground is cold. If you keep lying there, you might catch a cold!”
“I won’t get up, I won’t get up, I won’t get up!” Li Hao was still pretending to cry and howl. “In any case, I want a carriage!”
Father Li was also angry. He shouted, “Let him lie down! Mother, don’t spoil him. His temper is getting worse and worse.”
”1 want to see how long this young brat can lie down!”
“Boohoo, Grandma, Dad bullied me!”

The Li family in the courtyard started arguing again, making Li Yunrong’s ears ring.
A fierce shadow flashed in Li Yunrong’s eyes. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and almost bled. She sighed softly and said, “This is clearly Gu Yanfei’s life..”
