”No worries.” I'll go in and take a look. ” Li Die pursed her lips into a smile and pushed open the door. Seeing the mess inside, Li Wan Lan hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, sitting in the corner.
”Big Sis.” Li Die tried to call him, but she found Li Wanlan was still sitting there in a daze. It was unknown what she was thinking about. There was not a single trace of life left in his body.
Li Die sighed and walked to her side to look at her. She carefully helped her up and placed her on the bed. However, Li Wanlan was like a perfect porcelain doll, at the mercy of others.
”Big sister, I know you're sad, but you can't act so lowly like this!” Li Die tried to persuade her with a headache. She didn't know if she could listen to what she said. After all, if a person's heart died, it would be hard for that person to come back to life.
”Lu Lang, in the end, it's me …” ”Let him down.” At this moment, Li Wan Lan could no longer hide the sorrow in her heart and cried out.
”Big sister, if you were to be by Young Master Lu's side, wearing coarse hemp clothes and eating coarse food every day without any silk, silk, and rare delicacies, would you be willing?” Li Die looked at her pained expression and her eyes flashed with a bright light. She then asked gently.
”I do. I will. ”As long as I can be with Lu Lang, no matter how bitter it is, I will still be in the courtyard.” Li Wan Lan replied almost without hesitation.
He then said with expectation in his eyes, ”Sometimes, I wish that I wasn't the rich lady of this pavilion, but rather a commoner of the market, able to work with the people I like everyday, and work hard for the sake of three meals and food.”
Li Die looked at the smiling girl in front of her. It was as if she had never seen her like this. Her eyes sparkled as if they were trying to illuminate the bottom of one's heart. The happy and satisfied smile on her face made her unable to return to reality for a long time.
But what she did not know was that this was the first time she had seen this smile tonight and also the last. She had not laughed so since then.
Many years later, Li Die had met many people who remembered this smile and still thought it was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen.
”I believe that your love will be very blissful.” Li Die said with a smile on her face.
”Thank you, Fifth Sister.” This time, she thanked him very sincerely. At the same time, she thanked him from the bottom of her heart, truly taking him as her younger sister.
”Eldest young mistress, why don't you elope with Young Master Lu?” She knew that what she had said was hard to accept and surprising.
However, this was the best and the only solution she could think of. She didn't know what was wrong with her father to make Li Wanlan marry Lin Haozhi. Was it really just because he took advantage of her?
At this moment, the two people inside the house were discussing with all their might, so they did not notice the unusual situation outside the house.
”Now that I'm grounded, how could I elope so easily?” His tone revealed traces of disappointment and helplessness.
”No, write a letter to Young Master Lu. I will think of a way to have the maidservants deliver it to Young Master Lu and have him come to save you.” It would be impossible for them to rely on these weak women. Therefore, it would be wise to let Lu Xinhai take the risk to come here.
