At this moment, his tightly clenched fist was already badly mutilated, but he did not know it. However, his mind kept replaying the scene where Lu Xin Hai had crashed into his palanquin.
Li Die looked at him with a pale face and eyes full of concern, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
However, the voices in the courtyard had not stopped for a long time. Li Rou Ping's harsh voice unavoidably sounded out, "I didn't expect that this Lu Xin Hai was really an idiot! However, she did so on the day of elder sister's marriage. It can be seen that she didn't truly love her, but just wanted to add a bit of misfortune to her. "
Li Manting did not refute her words. She only pursed her lips and smiled, but the two of them did not know it. Their words had long been heard by the two who were hiding outside the door.
After Li Die found a trace of her strength, she grabbed Li Wanlan's hand as if she was encouraging her. She felt her hand tremble, but she didn't say anything.
"Sister Four, is what you said true?" Her movements were bigger than her brain. Before Li Wan Lan could grab her, she already rushed in. Seeing that the two of them were still calm and composed, she couldn't help but ask.
"So what if it's true?" Li Rou Ping's voice contained traces of provocation, and her gaze swept over the two of them, but unconsciously, it gradually became fierce.
"Sister Four, why did you do this?" She originally thought that Li Rou Ping was just a bit willful in her little daughter's family, but she never would have thought that she would be so vicious, casually ruining her happiness. Moreover, she was her own blood sister.
"Isn't this all for the sake of Big Sis? For the sake of the entire Li Residence?" He glanced at Li Wanlan with disdain. Seeing that she still had that ice-cold expression, he couldn't help but laugh to himself. He continued, "If we really let Big Sis and Young Master Lu escape together, have you thought that the Lin Clan would spare our Li Residence? Big Sis is really happy now? "
Li Die shook her head in disbelief. She looked at her with a pale face and said: "Then what kind of person is Lin Haozhi? I'm sure Fourth Sister knows him better than I do! Now that we have allowed big sister to marry into the Lin Family, isn't that the same as pushing her into a pit of fire? "
"No matter how weak Lin Haozhi is, his father is also Grand Commandant Lin. If he could pass through gold and silver, how could it be a fire pit?" Li Rou Ping said indifferently.
Li Die couldn't communicate with her at all. Her eyes were red as she dragged Li Wanlan and ran out.
After walking for a while, Li Wanlan seemed to have calmed down. She didn't seem to be trembling anymore, but her tense face didn't look relaxed at all.
"Big sister, it's all my fault. If I was a little more intelligent, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered what was happening now." Li Die slightly lowered her head. Her face, however, had an uneasy look. She didn't dare to raise her head and look at the current her, afraid that she would see disappointment in her eyes.
"None of your business." After a long time, until Li Die thought that she wouldn't speak anymore, Li Wan Lan's cold voice came out from her lips.
Although it was an extremely short sentence, she knew that she was not to blame, but her eyes were still red.
"If I had discovered that something was amiss earlier, perhaps big sister wouldn't have married into the Lin Family right now, and Young Master Lu wouldn't have died." After finishing her sentence, Li Die vented out all the pent-up sorrow in her heart and started sobbing softly.
However, Li Wanlan still didn't say a word, as if she didn't see her crying.
"I still have to go see Aunt Liu, so I'll take my leave first." Li Wanlan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "In the past, although Li Wanlan was also a bit cold, she was definitely not like now."
She knew that Li Wan Lan's true indifference came from her bones. It wasn't as cold as it used to be, but it was still soft from the bottom of her heart.
And now, with the death of Lu Xinhai, that last bit of softness in her heart had probably been buried with him! Perhaps Li Wanlan was no longer the Li Wanlan who protected her sister like before.
Sometimes things change for the rest of your life.
"Miss, you've finally returned. Just now, the fourth lady sent someone to look for you and her!" Ever since Yan Luo finished eating dinner in the main hall with her family, she was sent back to guard the courtyard. As a result, she did not hear Li Rou Ping and Li Manting's words.
Li Die thought about it for a while, then asked, "Did the boy you asked to deliver the letter to find out what was wrong with it?"
Yan Luo only glanced at Li Die. However, it had been a long time since it had asked this question.
Despite being puzzled, he still seriously thought of something and said: "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that every time I go over to ask, that manservant said he gave it to Young Master Lu personally, but there wasn't even a single reply."
Li Die nodded. If he really did give it to Lu Xinhai personally, according to the feelings Lu Xinhai had for his elder sister, how could he not have written a reply?
That could only mean that the servant did not give the letter to Young Master Lu and instead gave it to Li Rou and Ping. Only then could it explain why Li Wanlan had written so many letters and not responded.
After hearing the conversation between Li Rou Ping and Li Manting, goosebumps unconsciously appeared on his neck. It was as if this twin sister was no longer the sister he knew.
Or perhaps it was because she had never met this elder sister before!
Yan Luo noticed that she did not seem like her usual self, but it was still puzzling. She took up the cup of tea she had brewed earlier and asked, "Why did you ask me about this again?"
There were only a few people who trusted Yan Luo, so when she heard her question, she did not try to hide anything from her. When she saw that there was nothing strange going on outside, she slowly exhaled and began to speak, "Back then, it wasn't that Young Master Lu did not reply to the letter Big Sis sent to Young Master Lu, it was just that he had never received it before."
When Yan Luo heard what the young lady said, it widened its eyes. Then, it remembered the servant that the young lady had asked about just now. It asked in confusion, "How did that servant dare to be so daring?"
Yan Luo couldn't be blamed for being so astonished. If the attendant acted in such a manner, even if they found out about it, he wouldn't be able to escape death. Furthermore, he didn't follow his master's instructions at all.
"It's not that he doesn't dare to do so himself. However, he has the backing of the person behind him. Naturally, he would dare to do so." Li Die looked forward, as if she wanted to see something through the object in front of her.
