Miao Tianxiang wasn't entirely telling the truth. Strictly speaking, she couldn't be considered a friend of Li Wuming's grandfather, because Miao Tianxiang's mother was Li Baiyan's maternal grandmother, and her father was a servant in the Li family. She grew up in the Li family and was childhood sweethearts with Li Baiyan.

Although she was only fourteen years old at the time, she was precocious and already knew about love. Li Baiyan was three years older than her. Although they did not secretly pledge their lives to each other, they both understood each other's feelings. Li Baiyan even promised to marry her as his legal wife.

Although Miao Tianxiang was young and of humble status at the time, she had great ambitions. She was also influenced by Miss Li, who was Li Baiyan's cousin. Miss Li attended a new school and had very progressive ideas. She always said that the Li family was a feudal family and needed to be reformed.

Moreover, it was Miss Li who taught Miao Tianxiang to read and write, and also encouraged her to bravely pursue love. With Miss Li's support, Miao Tianxiang was determined to become the legal wife, unlike her other sisters who were content to be just concubines.

In terms of background, Miao Tianxiang's life story is very similar to Tang Yufen's, but their endings are completely different.

Miao Tianxiang won over Li Baiyan, but she failed to win over Li Baiyan's mother. Madam Li had already arranged Li Baiyan's marriage to her niece from her maternal family, so Miao Tianxiang naturally became a thorn in Madam Li's side.

Later, Madam Li managed to get Li Baiyan out of the Li family and kicked Miao Tianxiang's family out of the Li family, forcing them to be unable to establish themselves in the capital, and no one dared to hire them.

Forced by circumstances, the whole family moved south to Hong Kong to start over, but life was difficult, and they could hardly afford three meals a day. The whole family blamed her, thinking that she was delusional and had brought disaster upon the family.

Later, when her family could no longer make ends meet, her parents sold her to a brothel.

Miao Tianxiang secretly vowed that from then on, she would be an orphan, born and raised alone, and would never fall in love with a man again.

Moreover, she wants to become powerful and richer than the Li family. One day, she will return in glory and show Mrs. Li, who looked down on her, that she, Miao Tianxiang, can build a wealthy family on her own!

However, this wish can never be fulfilled, as the Li family has been wiped out and has become extinct.

Miao Tianxiang's hatred for the Li family has faded considerably with the passage of time.

Seeing her former lover's grandson, Miao Tianxiang realized that she no longer loved Li Baiyan. Perhaps if she could go back to the age of fourteen, she would not fall in love with this man again.

However, Miao Tianxiang felt a bit more affectionate towards Li Wuming, and this goofball was quite endearing. Just because he called her "sister" a few times, Miao Tianxiang was willing to take care of him a little.

"Have you been following Yin Yu all this time?" Miao Tianxiang asked.

Li Wuming nodded. "This old ghost raised me. I used to consider him my mentor. Humph, now I just want to eat his flesh!"

Ye Qingqing whispered in Lu Mo's ear, "Is what this guy is saying true?"

She doesn't seem like she's acting, but I'm still not sure.

Lu Mo nodded slightly, "It should be true. Madam Miao has confirmed that she is a descendant of the Li family, so her background is not false."

He had heard of the Li family; they were a famous feng shui family. A hundred years ago, they had even explored the dragon veins for the imperial palace. He didn't know if it was true or not, but the Li family's feng shui skills were indeed very famous. During the Republic of China era, many prominent families would ask the Li family to explore tombs to ensure their descendants' wealth and prosperity for many years to come.

But they didn't consider others' fates. The Li family ultimately failed to foresee their own destiny. Twenty-five years ago, the Li family was destroyed by fire overnight, with no one surviving.
