When Grandma Gu heard this, her eyes turned red with anger.

She was a modern person, and she would never bow to the ancient power. She was also an elder respected by Pei Changying, so she didn't need to worry about anything. She walked up to Lord Li in three or two steps and slapped him in the face.

Grandma Gu choked up and said, "You! You are so cruel! Your daughter died, but you got promoted!"

"Before, your wife knelt on the ground and begged me not to say anything and to protect you. I didn't say a word because of Li Fei."

"Now you are alive, but Concubine Li is dead!"

"You are so cruel!"

Lord Li took a step back with a pale face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was powerless and no sound came out.

Grandma Gu went up and slapped Lord Li twice, feeling sorry for Concubine Li.

Lord Li held his breath and was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to reach out and fight back.

Seeing this, Gu Sang took a quick step forward and slapped Lord Li hard in the face.

Gu Sang’s slap was so hard that it caused tinnitus in Lord Li’s ears.

Gu Sang raised his hand again, wanting to make Lord Li's face symmetrical.

A voice that gave people goosebumps came from not far away.

"Sangsang, you're really back!"

Gu Sang's body stiffened, and his hair exploded.

This was definitely the sound she least wanted to hear in her life.

But what can we do?

The mission has not started well. Just stay here and wait for rescue.

Pei Changying came over here with his guards. When he saw Gu Sang standing in front of him, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking at the most beautiful treasure in the world.

"Hahaha! Well done, Li Aiqing, you did a great job."

"Help me find the Queen."

"Promote Li Aiqing to the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat."

At this moment, one side of Lord Li's face was swollen and the other side was covered with five finger marks. Upon hearing this, Lord Li forgot about complaining and quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

"I bow to thank the Emperor for His Majesty's grace. Long live the Emperor."

Pei Changying showed an infatuated look to Gu Sang and wanted to go up and talk to Gu Sang, but when he thought of Gu Sang's character, he stopped abruptly.

"Sangsang, I've had a great time talking with grandma these past few days."

"Grandma also said that in the afterlife you will be a couple for life, so for you, I have disbanded the harem."

"From now on, you will be the only woman by my side. I will definitely treat you well this time."

Fuck you, a couple for life.

Someone who has had light and freedom.

How can we face the darkness?

Gu Sang looked at Pei Changying coldly and put forward conditions: "I don't need these. If you really want to compensate me, let my grandmother leave the palace!"

"Sangsang, this is impossible. Without your grandma, you will definitely find a way to escape from me."

"I can only use your grandmother to restrain you."

Pei Changying's rejection was within Gu Sang's expectations. She felt no emotion and even wanted to kill someone.

Gu Sang then made his next request: "Okay, you know I'm willing to do anything for grandma, no matter how difficult it is."

"If anyone tries to separate me and my grandma, I will fight him to the death."

"I finally resurrected my grandma. If you want to separate me from her, I'd rather die with you."

Pei Changying was afraid that Gu Sang would not care about anything anymore, so he quickly agreed: "Okay, I won't separate you."

"As long as you don't leave my side, you and grandma can live together."

After agreeing on the terms, Gu Sang grabbed his grandmother's hand and returned to Xuyang Palace with her.

-

Li Mansion.

The imperial edict promoting Lord Li soon arrived at the Li Mansion. When Mrs. Li heard that her husband had been promoted, there was no trace of joy on her face.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Mrs. Li sat sadly in the living room, waiting for her husband to come home.

"The Minister of the Central Secretariat has returned. It's only been a few days, and he's been promoted. This is truly cause for celebration."

Mrs. Li had a cold face and congratulated Mr. Li who had just returned home in a sarcastic tone.

It's not hard to hear that there's a hint of hatred in her tone.

Lord Li was already humiliated by Gu Sang's ridicule, and now as soon as he returned home, he was ridiculed by his wife in the same tone.

Lord Li's face darkened instantly.

"What do you mean? Our daughter was killed by herself."

"If she had taken the initiative to give the Imperial Concubine's grandmother to the Emperor, she would have been one of the Four Concubines by now!"

"But she was so foolish as to help the Imperial Concubine. Do you think that just because the Imperial Concubine is from the future, she can fight against the imperial power?"

"Unless all the soldiers from later generations were to arrive and annihilate the entire country, how could the imperial concubine, alone, overthrow this imperial dynasty that has had a thousand-year history?"

Seeing that her husband was defending his reasons with confidence, there was no trace of guilt towards their daughter on his face.

Mrs. Li's heart died.

She couldn't help but think that if she had asked her own caravan to send Grandma Gu to Plague City, perhaps the result would have been very different.

At that time, the eldest princess no longer had any leverage to threaten her, and she led her army directly into the palace.

Pei Changying will step down, and her daughter will be allowed to go home and reunite with her.

Unfortunately, once you take a wrong step, all the steps will be wrong.

Just as she followed her husband's idea and sent Grandma Gu to Pei Changying, she naively thought at that time that even if the emperor knew the truth, he would not make things difficult for her daughter because they took the initiative to send the person to him.

But she didn't expect that the Li family got promoted, but her daughter was given a cup of poisoned wine.

Afterwards, someone from the palace came to announce the death of his daughter...

Now, he has been promoted again. What unscrupulous thing has he done?

"Actually, I don't care how high your official position is. What I like is the white-faced scholar who was full of vigor and ambition back then."

"Not Lord Li, who has no conscience now!"

"Even if you didn't pass the imperial examination, since I've chosen you and married you, I won't regret it. Even if you're just a poor scholar, I won't despise you."

"I have money and a bank. I can support you and our children."

"Your official position was small before, and we were very happy."

"But now that your official position is getting higher and higher, I feel that you have changed. You have become conscienceless and willing to sacrifice anyone."

"You're like this, you scare me. Now, being around you makes me feel extremely disgusted!"

Madam Li stood up suddenly, ignoring her husband's ugly face, and asked her maid to pack her luggage quickly, and then left the Li Mansion without any attachment.

Her daughter is dead.

Her last attachment was gone...

Madam Li was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Unlike other young ladies, she had money, more than ten properties, and a caravan...
