Chapter 114 Going to See My Daughter

Lady Li couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer in the Marquis's mansion.

"But Mother said that no matter how difficult things are in the Marquis's mansion, Yingxue must endure until she gets married!"

Li Daniu also felt sorry for his daughter, but he didn't forget what his parents had said.

"Why don't we wait for Mother to come back and discuss it?"

Madam Li was still quite afraid of her mother-in-law, so even though she had already made up her mind, she still didn't dare to make a decision on her own.

“Master, Madam, Miss is now on the verge of death after being beaten. If you don’t go to the Marquis’s mansion soon, I’m afraid Miss will never see you again.”

Seeing that things had gone smoothly, Chunxiang was not about to let it go so easily, so she immediately knelt down and begged.

Upon hearing that she wouldn't be able to see her daughter one last time, not only was Mrs. Li anxious, but Li Daniu was also in a panic.

"No, we've already lost one daughter, we can't let anything happen to Yingxue now."

As Li Daniu spoke, ignoring his mother's instructions, he hurriedly led Madam Li toward the Marquis's residence.

The Li family's residence was far from the Marquis's mansion, almost across half of the capital. Gu Yingxue was worried that the Li family would be discovered by the people of the Marquis's mansion, especially Gu Shuyan, so she kept them in the south of the city and told them not to run around.

Even so, Gu Shuyan still learned about the Li family's move while investigating Gu Yingxue's shop.

That day, Pearl reported the news she had received to Gu Shuyan. Just then, the old lady came to visit Gu Shuyan, and she overheard the news, which led to her investigating Gu Shuyan's affairs in Yuzhou.

The old lady originally thought that Gu Shuyan was suffering because her family was destitute.

But the results of the investigation surprised the old lady even more. It turned out that Gu Yingxue had known her identity as early as ten years ago.

In order to make contact with Gu Yingxue, the Li family even sent their daughter, who was a year older, to Gu Yingxue's side as her personal maid when Gu Yingxue was two years old and looking for playmates.

Over the years, through Chunyan, who was also a daughter of the Li family, Gu Yingxue not only used the Marquis's money to support the Li family's livelihood, but also opened two shops outside.

Roughly calculated, that shop's business could generate over a hundred taels of profit a year. As a result, the Li family was considered extremely wealthy in the town.

Despite having the potential to live a good life, the Li family sent their own granddaughter to work as a farmhand, demonstrating the Li family's ruthless and unscrupulous nature.

Li Daniu and his wife followed Chunxiang and finally arrived at the Marquis's residence after a long carriage ride.

Looking at the majestic and solemn gate in front of them, the two of them trembled involuntarily and stopped in their tracks.

Although the two of them entered the capital thanks to their daughter, they mostly lived in the homes of merchants and had never actually seen a noble mansion with such a rich heritage as the Marquis's residence.

"Chunxiang, this, this is the Marquis's residence?"

Madam Li said with some uncertainty.

Chunxiang looked at the two men's trembling legs and felt a surge of disdain. No wonder they were such uncouth country bumpkins; they were so uncouth. She wondered what good deeds they had accumulated in their past lives to have the opportunity to raise the Marquis's daughter.

"Master, Madam, please come with me."

As Chunxiang spoke, she entered the gate. Looking at the servant guarding the gate, Chunxiang said loudly, "Go in and inform the master that the master and mistress of the Li family in Yuzhou have arrived."

As Gu Yingxue's maid, Chunxiang was used to being arrogant and domineering in the front courtyard, and her speech became more haughty.

Seeing that even a maid was so impressive, Li Daniu and Madam Li exchanged a glance and both swallowed hard.
