Her voice was almost out of control, and if you listened carefully, you could detect a slight tremor in it.
This scene just now almost scared Gu Yanran to the point of losing control on the spot.
It was because when Li looked at Zhixia, she instinctively sensed an unprecedented crisis.
Therefore, she subconsciously wanted to interrupt Li's words, as if only in this way could she pull Li back from her previous state.
Chu Qingluan also keenly noticed Li's abnormal behavior and glanced back and forth between the two of them.
Looking at it this way, it’s true that Zhixia’s eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Li’s.
But there are so many similar people in this world, maybe this is just a coincidence.
Chu Qingluan's eyes darkened slightly, and she instructed Zhixia, "Zhixia, don't be rude."
Zhixia then realized that she had lost her composure and quickly stepped aside.
Li seemed to have not heard anything, her eyes still on Zhixia, and suddenly asked, "Young lady, are you from Longxi?"

But after so many years, the Gu family still hasn't been able to have another child. Finally, a concubine, Liu, became pregnant, but she had a miscarriage before the third month.
Therefore, Li and Gu Tingyuan placed all their hopes on Gu Yanran. Even though they knew that Qi Che was not suitable for the Gu family, they chose to support Gu Yanran's choice without hesitation and gave her a generous dowry.
