Li Xiangnan had two sons and five daughters, the eldest son Li Wen Feng, the second son Li Xiao Yuan, the second daughter Li Manting, the fourth daughter Li Rou Ping, and the fifth daughter Li Die. They were all given to him by Wang Zhaoyue, the eldest daughter Li Wan Lan was the daughter of Aunt Liu, and the third daughter Li Shuangtong was given to her by Aunt Zhou.

Just by looking at these children, the experts could tell what was going on. The concubines were not allowed to give birth to sons, thereby endangering the position of the first-in-laws.

Li Die felt chilled to the bone whenever she thought about it. There was no need to mention the dirty things in the mansion.

Arriving at Wang Yanyue's New Moon Courtyard, a maidservant had already entered the door to report their arrival.

"Your servant, Lu Yi, pays her respects to Second Young Master, Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss." At this time, a pretty girl about 17 or 18 years old called Lu Yi hurried forward to greet Li Die and the rest.

Lu Yi was one of Wang Xiyue's first-rate maidservants and one of her most trusted aides.

"Stand up!" Li Xiao Yuan said to Lu Yi, "Quickly go and report this to mother. Tell her that Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister and I have returned from Uncle's home."

"This servant has already reported it. Madam has sent this servant to welcome the second young master and the ladies."

"Then leave quickly, don't make mother wait too long."

"Yes, please follow this servant."

The woman at the door lifted the curtain, and Li Xiao Yuan and the other two entered the house. Li Die was the youngest, so she was naturally the last to enter.

Wang Xiyue sat on the mahogany grandmaster chair, greeting them with a smile.

Li Die lifted her head and looked at her, then lowered her head. Wang Xiyue was around forty years old, and time didn't seem to have left any traces on her face. She looked no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

She was dressed in a red dress, the peonies were golden and full of sleeves. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun, and there was a simple pearl inlaid with jade that was swaying in the wind. As her master swayed, ripples appeared on her body, and her shrewd eyes looked up at him arrogantly.

When mother and son met, they naturally greeted each other affectionately. However, when Wang Xiyue's eyes swept across Li Die, they were filled with a kind of unfathomable coldness and surprise.

This scene was coincidentally seen by Li Rou Ping. Her heart was moved, and some things gradually became clear.

"How is your aunt's funeral coming along? How is your uncle? " Wang Xiyue picked up Juan Pa and pretended to wipe the tears that did not exist at the corner of his eyes. Was it worth crying for a woman who had nothing to do with it?

"The last time I saw your aunt was a few years ago. At that time, she was already in bad shape. I just didn't expect her to recover so quickly …"

These words immediately provoked Li Die and made her a little sad.

"Mother, you must take care of yourself." Li Rou Ping promptly comforted softly.

Wang Yuyue slightly nodded towards Li Rou Ping, his face full of comfort. His daughter was like a small cotton-padded jacket. This old saying was not wrong at all.

Her second daughter, Li Manting, had an arrogant and willful personality. As Wang Yueyue's first precious daughter, she had spoiled her a long time ago. Only she indulged in Li Manting's role, no one had Li Manting turn around and take care of her.

On the contrary, Wang's second daughter, Li Rou Ping, had always been weak and gentle, gentle, reserved, and reserved. She never made people worry about all sorts of things, and she always did the best thing.

As for his third daughter, Li Die, Wang Xiangyue truly loved and hated her.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? Is there something wrong with it? " Li Xiao Yuan asked anxiously.

He had been fine just a moment ago, but now his mother's expression turned ugly in the blink of an eye. Faintly, there was a trace of hatred and venom within. This made Li Xiao Yuan feel very uneasy.

"I'm fine. I had a heart ache, but I'm fine now. "Oh right, I heard that you met bandits on the way here. What's going on?" Wang Xiangyue adjusted his mood and changed the topic.

Li Xiao Yuan quickly explained what had happened in great detail to Wang Yanyue. When Wang Xiyue heard that Li Die was willing to sacrifice herself to protect Li Rou Ping, he looked towards Li Die with an unnatural gaze. When he heard that Li Die had been saved by Lord Liu, Wang Yuyue's eyes twinkled.

She hadn't thought that her fate would be so great, and her luck so good.

"Fifth Mother, are you alright now?" Wang Xiyue's voice had an unnatural estrangement. If she could, she really didn't want to see her daughter.

"Mother, the butterfly is fine. I'm worried about the mother, but the butterfly is not." Li Die stood up and said to Wang Xiyue calmly.

Li Die didn't know why, but in her heart, she always felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards Wang Xiyue.

As for Li Die, she would always be like the other sisters, calling Wang Yuyue her mother. Maybe it was because when Li Die was three years old, Wang Yuyue decided to send her away.

Although Li Die didn't know why she was sent away, she hadn't been around Wang Xiangyue since she was young, so she naturally didn't have that feeling of intimacy with him.

Between the two of them, there was only courteousness and estrangement as well as respect.

"Next time when you go out, you must bring more guards with you. If anything happens to the three of you today, how can your father and I live? "

"Mom, you don't have to worry. Second brother and fifth sister, aren't we safe and sound back?" Li Rou Ping said ingratiatingly as she shook Wang Xiangyue's arm coquettishly.

"That's right, Mother. Don't worry about us." Li Xiao Yuan consoled her.

Li Die continued to play with Juan Pa with her head lowered as if nothing had happened, not saying a word. If she was to act cute like Li Rou Ping or a puppy towards Wang Xiangyue, just thinking about it would give people goosebumps.

Wang Xiyue glanced at Li Die from the corner of his eye. A cold light flashed across his eyes. He was either raised and brought up by his side, or he was not that close to him.

Wolves had the loyalty of dogs, as well as the wildness of wolves.

"Alright, quickly go back and rest. You must be exhausted from the last two days." Hurry back, take a comfortable hot bath, and let the small kitchen in your yard cook for you and replenish your body. "

"It's mother. Then I'll take my leave first."

Li Xiao Yuan bid farewell to Wang Xiyue. When he walked to Li Die's side, he intentionally winked mischievously at her. It made Li Die glare at him.

As a big brother, he should have the appearance of a big brother. Who would be like him, teasing his own sister from time to time?

Wang Ruyue watched the interaction between them with an unmoved expression, while Li Rou Ping just humphed, expressing her disdain for it.

"Mother, I'll head down as well. I'll come again tomorrow morning to pay my respects." Since second brother had already left, it would be even more pointless for her to stay.
