After saying that, he quickly ran out. Li Die looked at his back and didn't call out to him. She just looked at his house.

The interior of the room was not filled with precious items. Instead, it was very simple, but also very exquisite and elegant, making one feel comfortable just by looking at it. The furnishings inside the room were the same as her, giving people a feeling of fondness from the bottom of their hearts.

After she had showered, Li Die laid down on the soft ground with a refreshed expression. She squinted her eyes slightly, feeling that everything was a bit inconceivable, after all, the attitude of the hussar general was too tyrannical, she had only thought that she would never be able to return here again. However, not even a few days had passed, she had already returned completely unharmed.

"Miss, Auntie Zhou requests an audience." After so many days, Yan Luo no longer had that kind of hatred towards Zhou Aunt. Instead, it felt a bit of pity towards her after being bullied by Li Rou Ping.

Li Die knew her attitude and just looked at her silently with a sigh without saying anything. After all, Yan Luo was still the same kind and pure person from before. Even though she had seen the dirtiest method in the backyard, she still couldn't wash away her innocence.

Sometimes, Li Die still wished that she could live a simple and happy life. As long as she had the ability to protect her, it didn't matter.

Yan Luo saw that she was only staring at him blankly and didn't say a word. It couldn't help but say with a bit of guilt, "If you don't want to see me, then I'll send her away."

"No worries, please come in, Auntie Zhou!" After she stopped talking, she finally moved her gaze away. She still had a calm expression as she spoke. The handkerchief in her hand was used to wipe her hair that fell to her waist.

When Yan Luo saw its own young lady agree, it immediately went out with a smile to invite Auntie Zhou in.

Li Die only shook her head at her fretful look and bitterly smiled in her heart. This type of person was the easiest to use. Right now, she couldn't tell if this was really good for her or not.

As soon as Madame Zhou entered, she interrupted her thoughts.

"I offer my best wishes to the five of you." Her voice was soft and weak, still pleasant to listen to. However, it was a bit less fierce than before, with an additional sense of helplessness and desolation.

"Auntie Zhou, please get up. Take a seat!" Li Die raised her head and looked at him with a smile, as if she was still the same girl from before who did not care about worldly matters.

"Thank you, Fifth Miss." "En." Aunt Zhou didn't bother to be polite. She sat on the embroidered pillar that Yan Luo had brought over for her. With her eyes half-closed, her fan-shaped eyelashes turned into a shadow on Yan Luo's white jade-like face.

"There's no need for Aunt Zhou to be so polite." Li Die said with a smile. Her tone was gentle and peaceful, which made people feel at ease.

In the past, Auntie Zhou had relied on Li Xiangnan's care to be very arrogant and despotic. She had never taken these direct girls seriously, much less call herself a concubine like today.

It could be seen how much of a setback Aunt Zhou had suffered this time, and how much Li Rou Ping had suppressed her. Her position in the mansion could really be said to be like the heaven and earth compared to the past.

"Today, when she heard that the five ladies had returned to the manor, she came to visit on her own initiative. I hope that you do not blame her for taking the initiative." Auntie Zhou said indifferently, making it hard for people to see her emotions. This really surprised Li Die.

After all, in the past, Aunt Zhou only gave her the impression of being pampered, but she was not stupid. Otherwise, she would not have been tricked by Li Rou Ping into losing her child and even blaming Li Shuangtong.

But now, she understood how to hide her expression. It really made people curious as to what method Li Rou Ping used to make her feel like she had opened her head.

"Does Aunt Zhou saying this make me very happy? Aunt Zhou coming here to see the butterfly actually makes her very happy!" Li Die cleared her mind as she spoke with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What grievances did the five ladies suffer in the House of the Grand General?" Aunt Zhou looked at her with concern, but Li Die didn't believe her. After all, she could treat her own daughter so carelessly. How could she care about someone who had nothing to do with her?

"The Grand General of the Hussars only put the butterfly under house arrest, so he didn't suffer any grievances." Li Die explained calmly. Although she didn't know what she was doing, she could only follow her words.

"That's good then. I'm afraid that the Fifth Miss might have suffered some grievances at the hands of the Grand General!" With that, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking sad.

"Die, thank you for your concern!" Li Die blinked her eyes and said joyfully. That's right, it was very easy for a person to gain her trust when they were abandoned by their own mother. However, after experiencing so many things, she could no longer be considered an ordinary person. After all, when she saw through the false faces of everyone in her family, her heart had long since turned cold.

How could he let down his guard when a man was putting on an act like this and said something he cared about?

"The Fifth Miss previously said that her concubine's words were different from her concubine's! "Now that the five ladies have said it like this, it's truly a foregone conclusion!" Auntie Zhou smiled through her tears. The smile on her face was so beautiful that people couldn't look away from it.

A pair of large sparkling eyes were now filled with mist, causing people to feel unwilling to reject her requests. Although they were close to thirty years old, due to the maintenance, there was not a single wrinkle to be seen on their faces.

A weak and helpless temperament emitted from her body, causing any man who saw her to have the desire to protect her. She had some guesses in her heart, perhaps it was because of her appearance and her seductive temperament that Li Rou Ping could not bear her.

After all, when Lady Wang boasted that she was from a prestigious clan, she disdainfully used these methods to seduce people. Due to her strength and methods, she would not admit her mistakes to Li Xiangnan.

In a short period of time, Li Xiangnan would still be pampered for being interesting and fresh, but if he stayed there for too long, he would get tired of it.

After all, men still liked gentle and considerate girls, not the kind of woman who was as smart and capable as men. Men usually liked things that they could control, and women were the same. They would never touch things that they couldn't control.
