Usually, her mother would take her as the leader. Even if it was a scolding, she wouldn't say anything serious.
Since the last time they met in Jiang Yan, she had changed his opinion of this mother. Yun Qi wasn't afraid of meeting Qu Li, she just didn't want to do it, but if she faced her daughter's wrath, she would definitely bring her back and teach her a lesson. As a person of two lifetimes, the thing she was most afraid of was someone teaching her.
"Furthermore, even the devils and ghosts were listened to and lectured by the Madam for four hours." Yin Gou whispered again.
Gu Danyan calmly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said helplessly: "Why didn't you say a word for me?"
"I told you, I asked Qi Lin to stop you, but you don't know how powerful he is, Qi Lin only said that you have a decision, and that was when you were chased out with a knife. If it wasn't for Qi Lin stopping us, we might have disappeared too." Yin Gou hugged her arms and rubbed them together. Thinking back, she felt a burst of fear.
Gu Liuyan was scared too. So his mother was angry, but she would still use her saber to kill someone!
Qu Li, on the other hand, found it strange and couldn't help but ask, "Is it your foster mother? It sounds like she cares about you. "
As soon as he said it, Yin Gou looked at him and spoke without waiting for Gu Xuan Yan to speak up: "That is the little miss's mother. She is usually very gentle, but this time she is scared of the little miss."
"Bang!"
The table in front of them was almost cracked open, Qi Rou and Yin Gou were still stunned on the spot, unable to react.
Gu Daiyan jumped in shock, but quickly got up. She walked to Qu Li's side and held his arm: "I have to explain in detail."
"Where is she? Still alive? " Qu Li was infuriated, but his eyes turned red as he tightly clenched Gu Mingyan's wrist.
Qi Rou immediately understood who the person in front of her was. She took advantage of the moment when Gu Pingyan was grabbing Qu Li and ran down with the confused Silver Forcing. She stuffed the silver into the boss' pocket and said, "The money is on the table. Don't disturb me."
The shopkeeper agreed, while Yin Gou, who was at the side, asked curiously, "That person is so powerful, why should we …"
"I'm afraid that person is her father. In the end, you and I cannot afford to offend the Emperor of Er Dan. Escaping from this place is the best strategy." Qi Rou quickly pulled on her, feeling that her little brother had really spoiled her to a fool.
Yin Gou rubbed her head as she reacted, pulling Qi Rou with her as she ran even faster.
Inside the room, Gu Pingyan finally sat Qu Li down and told him everything about his encounter with his mother. The table in front of him was broken into two pieces before he had even eaten two mouthfuls of rice, and the dishes were scattered all over the floor.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Qu Li scolded his daughter.
He didn't know why, so he lowered his head and said softly: "I originally wanted to take it slow. Previously, I let you send away that package, but in reality, I also sent a letter to grandpa to make him a peacemaker. After I settle the matter at hand, I'll let you guys …"
Knowing that his daughter had also planned this for him, Qu Li's temper slightly subsided. He only supported his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Take me to see her. Over the years …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Qu Li seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head. "Forget it. I'll leave this matter to you. If I were to personally go, she might have already escaped."
He carefully walked in front of Qu Li, squatted on the ground, and placed a hand on his knee. He said softly, "We can always settle the previous matter, if you are still worried then I will stay here for a while. First, I will wait for my mother to stop worrying about me, then you can come see her again, what do you think?"
"I can't leave you alone in the city. It's not safe." Qu Li gently pulled her up. "What's more, I just heard that you wanted to renew your relationship with that Prince Jing, so I naturally thought highly of you on behalf of your mother. I can't let you suffer anymore."
"But this is what I promised him." Gu Danyan was also troubled: "And I won't be going in the near future."
"Since your parents are here, you can't hurt yourself. I won't ask for justice in this life. I will let you live a peaceful life. I won't care about King Jing." Qu Li held onto him, looking at the table full of dishes falling on the floor, he felt a little ashamed. "Just now, I …"
"Everything is within reason. It is also my fault that I hid it from you." Gu Danyan quickly said: "But no matter what, if you dare to treat your mother badly, I won't forgive you in the future."
"You child …" Only now did Qu Li's heart feel full.
Along the way to the imperial palace, Gu Danyan was carefully watching him. The father and daughter pair were rubbing their shoulders, which made them feel a little more human.
By the time he entered the palace to inform Qu Hao of this matter, Qu Li had already put on a calm appearance. However, this time, he directly grabbed Gu Gongyan, who was about to leave, and said to Qu Hao, "Tomorrow, if you are going to leave for the border, bring her along as well so that she can meet with her mother as soon as possible."
"Alright, then I'll leave the matters of the palace to uncle." Qu Hao agreed with a smile.
Gu Danyan looked at him in surprise: "You don't want to meet your mother?"
"I know that she's still alive and well, that's enough. Once she's settled, I'll naturally rush over." Qu Li rubbed her head and was about to leave when Gu Danyan grabbed his sleeve.
She did not like to interact with her relatives, but at this moment, she could see the disappointment and confusion on Qu Li's face. She only took off the arched jade Yun Dian had given her before and handed it to him: "Take this jade tablet to the Wind Listening Pavilion and you will be able to find your mother. Navy Tide has many skilled craftsmen, but I can also make a jade wall for you and your mother."
Qu Li stood rooted to the spot, holding the jade pendant with the arched door in his hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Gu Liuyan carefully withdrew her hand and smiled lightly: "The two of you have never forgotten each other. Although I don't know where the misunderstanding came from, there will be a day when you will see the light of day. Instead of waiting for her to get rid of the knot in her heart, why don't you personally untie the rope for her?"
As he said this, Gu Danyan looked at him expectantly.
This was the first time Qu Hao, who was standing at the side, had seen his dignified uncle so conflicted. When he saw Gu Liuyan winking at him, he immediately laughed: "You're right, and my legs are not good. If you don't go, then I'm afraid that I'll have to jump into a man's arms while you're not around …"
"How dare you!" Qu Li's face fell. "I will go with you to see her."
