Li Xiao Yuan stared intently at her. When he saw that the corner of her mouth was still smiling faintly, he was not the least bit surprised. Only then did he gradually calm down.

He rarely stayed in the backyard, and he didn't know Wang Shi's attitude towards her. However, he only knew that Wang Shi treated him and Li Rou Ping with the utmost care and love, and thought that Wang Shi Yi treated her the same way.

Secretly, he didn't want her to get into an argument with her mother. However, looking at her smiling face, he felt that perhaps he was overthinking it and felt a little embarrassed. His cheeks were slightly red as he stammered as he explained, "I …" "I didn't mean it that way. I, I just, just felt that it shouldn't have been so awkward between mother and daughter. Besides, you are the daughter of your own mother, if it weren't for your mother's difficulties, I don't think it would have happened." After he finished speaking, Li Xiao Yuan quickly lowered his head. He felt slightly uneasy, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand him.

After all, she had been raised in her uncle's house since she was young, and now that she had experienced so many things, her heart was even more sensitive, afraid that she would misunderstand her meaning if she overthought things.

Li Die saw his uneasiness and couldn't help laughing out loud. It wasn't until she started laughing that Li Xiao Yuan realized that he had been played by this little girl.

Sensing her brother's displeasure, she quickly said, "Of course I know what you mean, why would I misunderstand you?" He looked at her with a smile, but he couldn't find it in himself to blame her in the slightest.

"It's getting late, second brother still has things to do, you should rest first!" Li Xiao Yuan withdrew his laughing expression and returned to his refined and refined appearance as he warned her.

On the other hand, Li Die nodded her head repeatedly. Her completely docile and docile appearance made Li Xiao Yuan unconsciously sigh.

"Miss … Miss, do you still need to submit after listening to Second Young Master's words when Madam treats you so well?" Yan Luo looked at her angrily as it spoke.

Looking at Yan Luo's appearance, Yan Luo let out a soft chuckle. Its expression was so faint that no one could tell whether they were happy or angry. Yan Luo, who had been watching her, couldn't help but sigh.

However, before she finished sighing, a sweet and gentle voice was heard: "Of course not. Since she no longer regards me as her daughter, why should I always remember her as my useless mother?" Her voice was so relaxed and natural, yet Yan Luo could feel that she was actually feeling such sorrow hidden behind this carefree attitude.

Yan Luo didn't know if this was considered as picking up the girl's scar again. However, there were some things that she didn't ask, so she always felt a bit worried.

He closed his eyes and made up his mind. Yan Luo asked directly, "Then why did the young master respond so straightforwardly to what he just said?" Her small face, which had been worried day and night that she had not slept well, was now paler and thinner.

Towards this type of Yan Luo, she was undoubtedly pained and guilty. If she hadn't always worried her, she wouldn't have been so haggard now.

After pausing for a moment, a faint smile appeared on her little face as she said, "Second Brother is just worried about me. Moreover, he doesn't often stay in the backyard, so he naturally doesn't know the relationship between her and me. Why do we need to disturb him?" She spoke extremely earnestly, only thinking about how she shouldn't cause trouble for others.

"But, Second Young Master will know eventually. Moreover, if Madam treats you like this, Second Young Master won't understand that when the time comes, there won't even be someone to protect the young lady." On the other hand, Yan Luo's small face was bunched up. When Yan Luo saw this, it couldn't help but want to poke her face. In reality, she had done it.

Her actions angered Yan Luo. She raised her eyebrows and immediately became a bit annoyed. She stomped her feet in embarrassment, and somewhat resentfully called out, "Miss."

Li Die looked at the exploding Yan Luo, held back her smile and continued, "Do you think second brother will be able to protect me after knowing about this?"

Yan Luo's thoughts were a bit too simple! Hadn't she had such a simple thought in the past? However, he would only understand after experiencing a few things.

"The second young master is now the only eldest son of the family, how could he not protect the young lady?" Yan Luo frowned slightly and asked puzzledly. She did not understand why Li Xiao Yuan would say that he could not protect her in the mansion, even though he had such an illustrious and prestigious identity.

Li Die sighed and said, "Second brother's status is indeed honorable in the house, but have you thought about his mother and sister?"

What she said was right. One of them was her mother, while the other was her younger sister. She was just an unfamiliar younger sister who had only been accepted back to the clan a few years ago. However, Yan Luo snorted in an unconvinced manner and said, "Isn't that lady the younger sister of his relative? Furthermore, since this lady has been away from the estate for so many years, it is only right for them to compensate this lady. "

After drinking a mouthful of tea to moisten her throat, she continued, "The reason why Second Brother treated me so well was only because of that bandit. In the end, Li Rou and Ping were the little sisters that he had doted on since he was young, and I was only a little sister who had come out of nowhere. How could I possibly have the same feelings for her as when he had been together for the past ten years?"

It wasn't that she didn't believe what the young lady said, but seeing that the second young master did not seem to be faking his concern every time he came over, she had some doubts in her heart.

"This servant saw that the Second Young Master's pampering of the young lady did not seem to be fake."

Perhaps, at this moment, only this second brother of hers truly doted on her! However, she didn't dare to think what she would do if her only second brother chose Li Rou Ping.

"Even if it's true, who can guarantee that Second Brother will stand on my side when I fall out with her?" Yan Luo didn't know how to respond to such a simple and straightforward sentence, but everyone could clearly see how much the Wang family doted on Li Xiao Yuan.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How's it going with Third Sis? " Li Die quickly changed the topic. She didn't want to let this little girl think anymore.

Hearing Li Shuangtong's name, Yan Luo immediately perked up and said, "Now, the three ladies don't often leave the courtyard. The medicine house is pretty much the same as before, but the condition doesn't seem to be increasing. "

She only nodded her head. Right now, she was besieged from all sides and didn't have the ability to help her. So, she didn't say anything as the corners of her eyes shrunk.

As Yan Luo looked at the state of her young lady, a trace of pity and adoration flashed through her heart. As if she didn't want her to continue like this, she said, "I don't think that it's been a long time since I last saw you. If I have time, I might as well personally go and take a look."
