At this moment, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful one. She had the features similar to the Yan Emperor, and the noble aura that came naturally from her entire body. The imperial aura that flowed from between every single one of her hands was undoubtedly enough to attract people's gazes and to cause them to be unwilling to move away.
However, there was no happiness in Lady Wang's eyes. There was only a complicated expression. She used to know that when Lady Wang looked at her, there was always a complex expression that pulled at her.
She wanted to know more, but the current her did not want to know so much. No matter how much she knew, she was still the one who would be saddest.
"Is Mother still busy?" She could see through Lady Wang's thoughts. Therefore, she put down the cup of tea and inquired. However, there was an obvious trace of confusion on her face, causing others to think that she was still the naive and kind her from before.
"Yes, there are still some matters. I just remembered that there are still some matters that have not been taken care of. Die'er should rest well, so mother will be leaving first." Mrs Wang stood up and quickly walked out. Li Die, however, continued to stare at her with a smile. She only withdrew her smile when she no longer saw her back.
"Bang ~ ~" Li Die placed the teacup on the table in anger. The sound of the cup hitting the table could be heard as some of the tea was spilled onto the table.
"Miss …" Yan Luo cried out worriedly as it looked at her. Its eyebrows were also locked together tightly.
"I'm fine." Li Die took a deep breath to calm her anger and return to her normal appearance.
When Yan Luo saw that she had completely recovered, it was finally able to relax. However, it was unable to control itself as it complained, "Madam, you're right. After all, this lady is your own daughter. You should at least consider your feelings for her!" Only now did she realize how pitiful her young lady was. She had been abandoned by her birth mother, but there was no one around who truly cared about her.
"If she truly cared about the relationship between mother and daughter, then back then, when I was still only three years old, she ruthlessly sent me to uncle's family to raise me. Now, she has once again abandoned me for Li Rou Ping.
Even if I did come back, wouldn't she just come running over and stab me? " A sneer appeared on Li Die's face. Her expression was completely cold and she was no longer as gentle as before.
"Miss." This time around, it was Yan Luo's turn to not know how to persuade her. Only then would she feel slightly better.
"Don't worry, I won't fall down just like that." The corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. It was different from the previous time. This time around, she was smiling sincerely from the bottom of her heart.
"Yan Luo will always be by your side." At this moment, Yan Luo's words were filled with sincerity. Many years later, she would still remember Yan Luo's vow. However, at that time, she could only lament: Things have changed.
"Alright." She didn't say anything else. Perhaps this word was more suitable than a thousand words.
"Fifth sister." "Fifth sister." Before Li Xiao Yuan even entered the room, he had already shouted loudly. His words made people feel concerned.
"Second Young Master." When Li Xiao Yuan came in, Yan Luo and Li Die had already returned to their previous state. The corners of their mouths were smiling as they greeted him.
"Fifth sister, I have let you suffer." Li Xiao Yuan nodded at Yan Luo before he ran towards his sister. His words were filled with concern, making people feel warm in their hearts.
Li Die gave a faint smile and said, "Second brother, I don't care." The words she said were somewhat helpless, but she was sincere towards Li Xiao Yuan. Perhaps in this huge mansion, Li Xiao Yuan was the only one who treated her as family, right?
"It's all because of that hussar general. Fifth sister, don't worry. Second brother definitely won't let him bully you for nothing." As Li Xiao Yuan spoke, he clenched his hands into fists. His words were filled with a sense of hatred and his usually refined and gentle nature had changed. She knew that he was truly angry.
However, to be able to make a truly modest gentleman angry, that hussar general was also an incredible figure.
Li Die didn't want him to go against the great general because of her.
No matter how one looked at it, Li Xiao Yuan was not a match for the Grand Marshal, so she did not want him to take the risk for her.
He had no choice but to pull Ye Xiao's arm and say, "Second brother, I know you feel sorry for me, but I didn't suffer any grievances. Besides, the emperor trusts the Grand General, so we can't touch him now."
Li Xiao Yuan knew that what she had said was the truth, but he was unable to swallow his anger.
Li Die saw him like that and sighed. "Second brother, I know you want to avenge the butterfly, but in the end you really have to sacrifice the entire Li family to end this?" When Li Xiao Yuan heard her mention the Li family, he took in a deep breath and lowered his head.
It pained her to see him like this, but there were some things that she had to understand. Otherwise, if she waited until everything was settled before she regretted it, then it would really be too late!
"But, Fifth Sister." Li Xiao Yuan's expression became visibly more relaxed. When Li Die saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Second brother. "Die" knows that second brother loves butterfly the most, but we can't do anything about this hussar general. "Moreover, with His Majesty bestowing the marriage on us, that Grand General Husband won't be able to touch me anymore. Second Brother, what's there to be worried about?" He was enjoying himself as he spoke in a slightly coquettish tone.
His originally gloomy face now revealed a smile after hearing her words. Soon after, he seemed to recall something unhappy and tightly pursed his lips.
After thinking about it again and again, she frowned and said, "That day's incident definitely wasn't on Mother's mind. Fifth Sister, you shouldn't bear grudges against Mother because of this." Although these words were difficult for him to say, he still said them in the end.
Both of his eyes were staring at her with concern, as if he was afraid that she would turn him down.
However, she had seen everything that had happened that day more thoroughly than anyone else. She would never let anyone say a word or two to her, so she continued to wait foolishly with hope in her eyes.
"I understand what second brother meant when he said 'butterfly'. After all, mother is mother. How can butterfly hate mother?" She tossed and turned with a smile, not knowing what to say. However, she was probably the only one who could speak the truth.
