Marquis' Mansion.
Tangli received the blood jade sent by Mrs. Gu.
She looked at the blood jade. Unaware that it was a gift from General Gu to Madam Gu, Tangli had no idea of its special meaning. This blood jade, in terms of value alone, was not considered precious to Tangli. However, to Tangli, it was a priceless treasure.
This was the first gift Mrs. Gu gave her. It was given to her by her mother.
Tang Li stroked the blood jade with a smile on his lips. After a long time, he carefully hid the blood jade.
"Master." A secret guard appeared in front of Tangli.
After three years of development, Tangli's intelligence network had become well-established in Qinghe County and Qinzhou. However, the capital, home to many dignitaries and powerful factions, was a complex network, making it difficult for Tangli to expand her intelligence network. Furthermore, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she gave up on the capital. Fortunately, Wei Qing's secret guards filled this gap.
Two secret guards under Wei Qing were assigned to Tang Li. One of them was responsible for contacting Tang Li's intelligence network, and the other was responsible for the movements in the capital. They were like Tang Li's two ears.
The secret guard standing in front of Tang Li now was the young secret guard she had rescued when the killer organization wanted to steal Sanbao and attacked her house in Qinghe County.
Now, the boy has grown into a young man. He is much taller, his eyes are more resolute, and he is very reliable in doing things.
"Gu Ying went to check on you and bought information from 'Shadow'." said the dark guard.
Tang Li nodded without any surprise.
When she revealed her true identity to Gu Ying, she had guessed that this day would come.
Three years ago, he was not strong enough and did not dare to confront Gu Ying head-on. He could not even protect Doctor Su.
Three years later, everything is different.
'Shadow' is the name of the intelligence network under Tang Li.
Gu Ying never imagined that the intelligence network she relied on was actually Tang Li's.
The information she wanted to know was actually given to her by Tangli.
The information she received only made her more uneasy.
…
In the next few days, Tangli went to the general's mansion every day.
Every time he went there, he would massage Mrs. Gu's head and give her the sachet that Doctor Su had just prepared.
The previous sachets were the ones Tangli sold in Hedong County, which helped with sleep. This new sachet was specifically designed to treat Mrs. Gu's condition.
Thanks to Tangli's efforts, Mrs. Gu slept well and her complexion looked much better.
Mrs. Gu felt closer to Tangli. This child was really good. He really cared about her and was sincere.
Mrs. Gu even thought of adopting her as her adopted daughter. It was such a blessing to have such a caring little daughter.
I don’t know what kind of parents could give birth to such a wonderful daughter.
"Madam, if you adopt Tangli as your daughter, the young lady might feel uncomfortable." Nanny Chen advised.
Gu Ying was her daughter who had been lost and found again, her treasure. She felt guilty towards her daughter and wanted to give her the best. Naturally, she didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so Mrs. Gu gave up the idea.
Even so, Gu Ying still found out.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep since the day she met Tang Li.
Her face looked ugly and tired, and even the thick makeup couldn't cover it up.
She always felt that Tang Li was a problematic person who would take away everything she had. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Gu Ying completely lost her patience.
…
Main courtyard.
Tang Li had just finished massaging Madam Gu's head. Madam Gu held her hand with a gentle smile on her face.
"Does your hand hurt?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"It doesn't hurt." Tangli said, "I'm happy as long as you feel comfortable."
Mrs. Gu suddenly felt warm-hearted. What a good child.
"mother."
When Mrs. Gu saw Gu Ying, the smile on her face became even more pronounced.
"Aying." Mrs. Gu called out, and thinking of what Nanny Chen said, she let go of Tang Li and stretched out her hands to hold Gu Ying's hand.
The mother and daughter were intimate for a while.
Gu Ying looked at Tang Li and held Tang Li's hand.
"Sister, I have been embroidering wedding dresses these days, so I have neglected you. Today I happen to be free, so let's go for a walk." Gu Ying said affectionately.
Tang Li immediately showed a delighted expression, as if she really liked Gu Ying, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, sister."
The two sisters left the main courtyard together and walked around the Gu Mansion.
Along the way, Gu Ying was testing Tang Li, trying to find out her identity and whether she was the silly girl from Zhujia Village.
Tang Li responded cleverly. The more Gu Ying asked, the more anxious she became. In fact, she didn't get anything out of her question.
Gu Ying's expression became increasingly ugly, and she could no longer maintain a smile on her face.
Tang Li admired her expression in a good mood, and felt that he had played with her enough, so he decided to throw a heavy bomb at her.
"Zhu Chunjiao." Tang Li suddenly called out.
Zhu Chunjiao is Gu Ying’s original name!
When Gu Ying heard the name, her face suddenly changed and she stared at Tang Li as if she had seen a ghost.
"You really are..." Gu Ying's head was rumbling.
Is the person in front of me really that stupid girl?
How is that possible?
Wasn’t that girl sold to a brothel?
How could he appear in the capital?
Besides, that girl is so stupid, how could she be the wife of the young marquis and know so much?
Gu Ying was shocked and confused.
She never thought that the stupid girl would be qualified and capable enough to stand in front of her again!
"Yes, it's me." Tang Li said with a malicious smile on his face, "Sister Zhu, are you happy to see me?"
Gu Ying's expression was very ugly: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Tangli's expression turned aggrieved: "It seems that Sister Zhu is very unhappy."
"My surname is not Zhu, it's Gu. I don't understand what you mean!" said Gu Ying.
"Sister Zhu, it was you who stole my jade pendant, right? Now I understand. You stole my jade pendant and my identity. Everything you have now is mine!" Tang Li leaned close to Gu Ying's ear and whispered.
Gu Ying's eyes widened suddenly: "No, it's mine!"
"Sister Zhu, what's not yours will never be yours. I will take back everything that belongs to me. Don't you feel uneasy sitting on other people's things every day?" Tang Li's eyes were full of malice. "Oh, I forgot, Sister Zhu is an extremely selfish person, how could she feel uneasy? Sister Zhu sits on everything I have and still laughs at my stupidity."
Gu Ying suddenly pushed Tang Li away.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Tangli suddenly fell to the ground, letting out a painful groan, as if he was in great pain.
Gu Ying looked at her hands, then at Tang Li lying on the ground, and suddenly had an idea: kill her!
Gu Ying approached with murderous intent on her face and grabbed Tang Li's neck.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Aying, what are you doing?!"
Gu Ying suddenly came back to her senses and quickly loosened her hand that was pinching Tang Li's neck. Turning around, she saw her mother and two maids standing not far away, looking at her.
Gu Ying suddenly realized that Tang Li had done it on purpose!
What a devil!
