"Since that is the case, mother can rest assured. If the Lin Family has truly caused you to suffer any grievances, Lan'er can just come back and tell mother." Lady Wang was still acting like a loving mother in front of others, treating her concubine as if she was her own.
"Thank you, mother." Although Li Wan Lan said 'thank you', her face didn't show any expression of gratitude.
Li Die had been sitting here for such a long time, so she naturally knew that Lin Haozhi hadn't come back with Li Wanlan. If her husband had accompanied her back to the sect during the third generation, it would have been because her husband had doted on her.
Li Xiang Nan looked at his eldest daughter who was returning to her room. On the contrary, he had a calm expression on his face.
"Lan'er, try this water chicken. I know it's your favorite dish, so I specially prepared it in the kitchen early in the morning." Lady Wang was still speaking politely, adding a few dishes to Li Wanlan's bowl from time to time.
After a meal, Lady Wang accompanied Li Xiang Nan out. There were only a few sisters left in the room saying a few words to each other.
Li Manting looked at Li Wanlan's frosty face and couldn't help but shiver. She felt that this elder sister seemed to be colder than before, as if whoever got close to her would be frozen into ice.
Her eyes flickered as she glanced at Li Rou Ping. In the end, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Big Sis, why don't you let Big Sis and Husband accompany you when you go back?"
Seeing that Li Manting had already started her conversation, Li Rou Ping couldn't help but chime in, "That's right! That's right! Big Sis, why didn't you accompany Big Sis when she returned? " The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was in a good mood.
"What? I thought that my sister definitely didn't want to see him, so I didn't ask him to come back with me. It seems that I've been overthinking things today." Li Wan Lan's expression changed slightly as she looked at the two of them and spoke.
Naturally, everyone present knew the reason why Li Wanlan said they didn't want to see Lin Haozhi. Now that she mentioned him in such a cryptic manner, Li Rou, Ping, and Li Manting only felt that the teasing incident on the Dragon Boat was like yesterday.
The two of them could not help but grow pale. Coughing lightly, they said, "Eldest sister, you worry too much. In any case, he is now my younger sister's brother-in-law. How could my younger sister not like him?" Li Rou Ping secretly gnashed her teeth, but her face remained calm and collected as she smiled.
Back then, when Big Sis married into the Lin Clan, she was extremely unwilling to! Currently, how nice is big sister's husband to big sister? " Li Manting seemed to be inquiring about her concern, but in reality, she was using these knives to stab her heart.
"Naturally." When these words came out, Li Wanlan's face was still as cold as ever. There wasn't any expression of unwillingness, which made Li Manting and Li Rou Ping feel a little bored.
Li Die couldn't take it anymore and said, "Didn't Big Sis say that my tricks are very good? Do I have to bring some back this time?"
Li Wan Lan knew her intentions, so she didn't say much and just followed her out of the courtyard.
As soon as they left the courtyard, Li Die did not hide her eyes that were filled with concern. She sized her up and asked, "Has big sister been doing well at the Lin Family?" Although his mother and sisters had asked about it, none of them genuinely wanted to know if she was truly safe in the Lin Clan.
"Of course." She knew that this fifth sister in her eyes truly cared about her. However, from the day she married into the Lin Family, it was no longer important whether or not she was truly safe.
She only knew that the person who loved her wholeheartedly and doted on her had already been killed by her sedan on the day of her wedding. She couldn't bear to cry over his filial piety.
"Big Sis." She knew that once Li Wanlan married into the Lin Clan, she would never be at peace. She just knew that.
His father had used such a method to force Lin Taibai to marry into his own family, and that Lin Haozhi was also someone like that. How could he possibly have gotten married into such a family?
She wanted to ask him about that day with Lu Xinhai, but when she came in contact with his sorrowful eyes, which were hidden behind that ice-cold appearance, she didn't know how to ask.
Perhaps, Li Wanlan would never let go of Lu Xinhai's death for the rest of her life. At that time, Lu Xinhai had decided to use that method to die right in front of her eyes, probably to make her remember his death for the rest of her life! Clearly, no matter who it was, they all had their own selfish sides.
"Alright, let's go back!" Otherwise, it might bring about some unnecessary trouble. " She knew that she had found a reason to call her out, but she just didn't want herself to be mocked by the two of them.
"Yes." Li Die could only nod and follow her obediently.
However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they heard voices coming from inside before they even entered.
"Third sister, looking at how big sister is now, do you really think you're still that Li Wan Lan!?" Li Manting said with a slightly disdainful tone.
"Naturally, he's not the Li Wanlan from before. Now that he's married to someone like Lin Haozhi, just thinking about it makes him feel better." When Li Rou Ping thought of her frosty face, the corner of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.
"This is third sister's credit!" If Third Sister hadn't discovered their intentions in time and sent people to kidnap the letter for Lu Xinhai, I'm afraid that we wouldn't have seen her in such agony right now! " Li Manting's tone was filled with pride, and even her face was full of smiles as she looked at Li Rou Ping.
"Luckily, she thought that Lu Xinhai received a letter from her, but didn't come to find her."
"What a good saying, Lu Lang! If there were people who didn't know about this, where did they think this shameless, frivolous girl came from?!" How is this called a proper daughter's house? " It was obvious that Li Wanlan's letter to Lu Xinhai had already been opened and read by Li Manting and Li Rou Ping. They scoffed at Li Wanlan's pretentiousness.
Li Die listened in disbelief. She never knew that her two sisters were so scheming.
Since they were sisters, she didn't understand why they had to separate such a loving couple. Now, however, they were separated by Yin and Yang.
Her tightly pursed lips were slightly trembling, but she did her best to restrain herself from letting out a sound. A pair of emotionless eyes, with a repressed hatred, stared fixedly at the two people in the yard who were smiling sweetly.
