”Mother, what's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? Is there something wrong with it? ” Li Xiao Yuan asked anxiously.

He had been fine just a moment ago, but now his mother's expression turned ugly in the blink of an eye. Faintly, there was a trace of hatred and venom within. This made Li Xiao Yuan feel very uneasy.

”I'm fine. I had a heart ache, but I'm fine now. ”Oh right, I heard that you met bandits on the way here. What's going on?” Wang Xiangyue adjusted his mood and changed the topic.

Li Xiao Yuan quickly explained what had happened in great detail to Wang Yanyue. When Wang Xiyue heard that Li Die was willing to sacrifice herself to protect Li Rou Ping, he looked towards Li Die with an unnatural gaze. When he heard that Li Die had been saved by Lord Liu, Wang Yuyue's eyes twinkled.

She hadn't thought that her fate would be so great, and her luck so good.

”Fifth Mother, are you alright now?” Wang Xiyue's voice had an unnatural estrangement. If she could, she really didn't want to see her daughter.

”Mother, the butterfly is fine. I'm worried about the mother, but the butterfly is not.” Li Die stood up and said to Wang Xiyue calmly.

Li Die didn't know why, but in her heart, she always felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards Wang Xiyue.

As for Li Die, she would always be like the other sisters, calling Wang Yuyue her mother. Maybe it was because when Li Die was three years old, Wang Yuyue decided to send her away.

Although Li Die didn't know why she was sent away, she hadn't been around Wang Xiangyue since she was young, so she naturally didn't have that feeling of intimacy with him.

Between the two of them, there was only courteousness and estrangement as well as respect.

”Next time when you go out, you must bring more guards with you. If anything happens to the three of you today, how can your father and I live? ”

”Mom, you don't have to worry. Second brother and fifth sister, aren't we safe and sound back?” Li Rou Ping said ingratiatingly as she shook Wang Xiangyue's arm coquettishly.

”That's right, Mother. Don't worry about us.” Li Xiao Yuan consoled her.

Li Die continued to play with Juan Pa with her head lowered as if nothing had happened, not saying a word. If she was to act cute like Li Rou Ping or a puppy towards Wang Xiangyue, just thinking about it would give people goosebumps.

Wang Xiyue glanced at Li Die from the corner of his eye. A cold light flashed across his eyes. He was either raised and brought up by his side, or he was not that close to him.

Wolves had the loyalty of dogs, as well as the wildness of wolves.

”Alright, quickly go back and rest. You must be exhausted from the last two days.” Hurry back, take a comfortable hot bath, and let the small kitchen in your yard cook for you and replenish your body. ”

”It's mother. Then I'll take my leave first.”

Li Xiao Yuan bid farewell to Wang Xiyue. When he walked to Li Die's side, he intentionally winked mischievously at her. It made Li Die glare at him.

As a big brother, he should have the appearance of a big brother. Who would be like him, teasing his own sister from time to time?

Wang Ruyue watched the interaction between them with an unmoved expression, while Li Rou Ping just humphed, expressing her disdain for it.

”Mother, I'll head down as well. I'll come again tomorrow morning to pay my respects.” Since second brother had already left, it would be even more pointless for her to stay.
