His eyes were filled with pain as he stared blankly at the ceiling before closing his eyes again. A tear silently fell from the corner of his eye.
"Fifth sister." Li Xiao Yuan pushed open the door and walked in. His expression was not as relaxed as before, and the corner of his lips slightly pursed to express his heavy mood. Her eyes were filled with a faint trace of love and doting.
"Second brother." After Li Die heard the sound, she opened her eyes. A forced smile appeared on his face as he struggled to sit up. There was a trace of obvious weakness on his face.
"Fifth sister, what happened to you?" Li Xiao Yuan walked in and asked with an astonished expression as he saw her lying on the bed with a pale face.
"Second brother, I'm fine." Li Die: I don't want to talk about this. She's my little sister that I grew up with.
On the other hand, she was just a little sister who was a dozen years too late. It would be difficult for him, and she had gotten used to it in the past few days.
As for Yan Luo, it was clear that she did not think this way. Hearing her words, her face showed fury. She hurriedly opened her mouth and said, "That's not the case."
It was the young madame who blamed the young master for going out to exterminate the bandits, and it was also the young madame who always ended up saying the wrong things in front of the young madame.
If it wasn't for Madam's daily predicament, how would the young mistress' body be no more. "
After Li Xiao Yuan heard what Yan Luo said, a trace of astonishment clearly appeared on his face. He then frowned slightly and said, "Why is Lady Liu like this? Fourth Sister is really something. No matter what, you are still her younger sister. How can she be like this? "
She already knew about Li Xiao Yuan's attitude, but after it really happened, seeing his nonchalant attitude, she was a little disappointed. However, if she did not involve herself with it normally, then he would treat her family quite well.
Li Die gave a self-deprecating smile. Looking at his slightly conflicted face, she said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Second brother, don't listen to Yan Luo's nonsense."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Aunt Ping had already put the young madam in a difficult position even before she was married off." Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, Yan Luo started to refute.
Hearing her words, Li Die's face was already filled with anger. She scolded her, "Smoke." He signaled for her to stop talking.
Yan Luo pouted. It lowered its eyes awkwardly, covering the pain in its eyes.
"Did you tell mother about this?" In his impression, Lady Wang treated her very well. However, how could he know that she treated him well when he wasn't often in the mansion? She even treated him kindly to gain a good reputation.
Li Die just smiled bitterly and didn't really plan to tell him anything. After all, Mrs. Wang really loved her children, and she was the only exception. Plus, he probably wouldn't believe it, so why would he be so tired of losing their brotherly love? After all, she didn't have much.
Yan Luo clearly didn't think like that. Recently, she had seen her being humiliated by Madam Zhang and mocked by Aunt Ping everyday. She was already full of tender affection for her. She was only a maid, so no matter how much suffering she suffered, it didn't matter. However, she was an upright and honorable master, so how could she be humiliated like this?
"Second Young Master, if that's the case, then this servant will tell you everything!" Yan Luo appeared to be in a bad mood. It frowned slightly and didn't look at Li Die's eyes.
"Yan Luo." Li Die angrily rebuked and then softened her tone, "You go out first!"
Li Xiao Yuan frowned as he looked at the pair of master and servant. He knew that there were some things that were obviously hidden from him and did not want him to know about them.
At the moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Fifth Sister, do you still have much more to hide from me? Do you take me as your second brother or not?"
Li Die knew that she couldn't completely hide this from him, but she was still thinking about how much she should hide from him.
When Li Xiao Yuan saw her frown, he had obviously guessed what she meant. His face had a clear expression of anger; he had always thought that his fifth sister was just a gentle girl. He didn't expect it to be a stubborn one.
"Is there something that you can't tell your brother, or do you always treat your brother as if he's your own relative and you don't want to tell him anything?" Li Xiao Yuan tightly stared at her. At this moment, he had quite the demeanor of an elder brother.
"Second Brother, you know that's not what I meant, it's just that I don't want you to make things difficult for me." Li Die lowered her head as she spoke, like a child who had done something wrong.
However, when Li Xiao Yuan heard her explanation, he didn't reveal a smile. Instead, a complicated expression flashed through his eyes. The way he looked at her also became more and more affectionate.
He didn't know how much had happened to his sister when he didn't know. He also didn't know how many times he had to endure in order to train her to such a state.
"Alright, Yan Luo, tell me!" She knew that Yan Luo felt sorry for her. Naturally, it was impossible for her to think of herself as an ordinary person. She would say some insignificant things and hide all the grievances that she had suffered.
"In reply to Second Young Master's words, it's not that the young mistress doesn't want to go home and tell Madam. It's just that Madame's heart is aching so much that Aunt Ping's bones are aching. On the contrary, she doesn't like the young mistress." Yan Luo ignored the warning look in her daughter's eyes.
Hearing that, Li Xiao Yuan's heart became heavy. How could he be as relaxed as Yan Luo? He repeatedly shook his head and said, "Impossible, how could mother be like this? Fifth Sister is also my mother's own daughter, what kind of mother doesn't like her own daughter? " Li Xiao Yuan looked at her with an expression of disbelief.
After hesitating for a while, Yan Luo bit her lips. Seeing that her young lady had closed her eyes and allowed herself to speak, she steeled her heart and continued, "Not only is the second young master unwilling to believe it, even this servant isn't willing to believe it. However, madam simply doesn't like the young mistress.
After a pause, he continued, "Even regarding the matter between the young mistress and the young master, Aunt Ping insisted on standing between the young mistress and the young master. The madam and the master also helped her make things difficult for the young mistress, and no one would think whether the young mistress would be sad or sad.
