Seeing Chang'an's serious expression, Gu Lili stepped aside to let him go in first.
Before Chang'an even entered, Gu Lili heard Liu Ying's hearty laughter.
“Princess Yongning, I heard from the servants that you are about to leave, so I specially prepared some specialties from Jiangdu for you. I hope you will not find them offensive.”
Gu Lili turned to look and saw that Liu Ying was leading five or six maids carrying a lot of things towards Gu Lili's room.
Liu Ying has always been a cheerful person. She knew that Gu Lili had important matters to attend to when she returned to Donghai, so she did not try to persuade her to stay.
Let them stay at the Liu family's house for a while longer.
Anyway, there's plenty of time. Once the Liu family's affairs are completely sorted out, Liu Ying will be able to take Liu Miaoyin to the East China Sea for a visit.
Gu Lili smiled and welcomed Liu Ying into the house, and Chang'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Let's wait and be honest with Gu Lili later.
Chang'an didn't know if Gu Lili would still treat him the same way after he confessed to her.
The maids also placed the gifts that Liu Ying had prepared on the table. Gu Lili looked up and saw that they were all food and fabrics, which she could accept.
The maidservant stepped forward to fill the teacups for the three of them, and then sensibly withdrew.
"To be honest, Madam Liu, I originally intended to return to Donghai early tomorrow morning, but I was delayed by some matters. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for another day," Gu Lili said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying's face lit up with joy, but then she glared at the maid standing outside the door with a hint of annoyance.
"Ugh! This girl, she listens to nothing but this and that's why I rushed here with gifts, making it seem like I wanted to chase the county princess away. She's really something!"
Upon hearing that Liu Ying was angry, the maid outside hurriedly knelt down and dared not utter a sound.
Back when Zou Wenjun was still alive, if they made a mistake and dared to talk back, they would be severely punished.
Therefore, in the maid's eyes, the clearest thing she could do at that moment was to shut her mouth.
Gu Lili didn't take it to heart; she knew Liu Ying's personality.
They've always been decisive and efficient, never dragging things out.
"It's alright. I know what kind of person Madam Liu is. Of course, she won't overthink it," Gu Lili said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Lili helped them reclaim the Liu family's assets. If Gu Lili were to think that I wanted to drive them away, wouldn't I be an ingrate?
"Alright, the county princess isn't blaming you, so get up," Liu Ying said to the maid outside the door.
The kneeling maid was somewhat incredulous that this matter could be resolved so easily.
It was only when a maid nudged her that she realized what was happening.
He thanked Gu Lili and Liu Ying repeatedly before standing up.
Liu Ying, on the other hand, was immediately drawn to a wheeled chair in Gu Lili's room.
"What is this, Princess?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
At this moment, Chang'an noticed that there was an extra chair in Gu Lili's room.
She seemed to have been with him all day, yet she hadn't noticed when Gu Lili had brought back this chair.
The reason he knew it wasn't from the Liu family was because if Liu Ying didn't even recognize it, how could it possibly belong to the Liu family?
Gu Lili smiled and stood up, then sat down.
He placed his hands on the two large wheels and laughed, "This is called a wheelchair!"
As Gu Lili spoke, she began to demonstrate.
She simply pushed the chair forward with both hands, and it started moving by itself.
Liu Ying couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration.
"This thing is really amazing! It can walk on its own with just a push of the hand," Liu Ying exclaimed.
She stood up, walked behind Gu Lili's chair, and gave it a push. She found that the chair moved forward easily.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Liu Ying couldn't help but praise again.
A bold idea instantly popped into Liu Ying's mind.
"Princess, where did you buy this chair? I want one too!" Liu Ying said with a grin.
Gu Lili stood up with a smile and patted the chair in front of her.
"Since you like it, I'll give it to you! Consider it a return gift!" Gu Lili said generously.
Originally, Gu Lili was going to send this wheelchair to Yu Yirou later.
She is unable to walk properly, and staying indoors all the time is not a long-term solution.
Over time, people will become depressed and melancholic.
She has plenty of wheelchairs in her space.
We can just buy another one for Yu Yirou then.
Liu Ying nodded hurriedly and thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Then I won't be polite."
As Liu Ying spoke, she hurriedly instructed the maid to come in and push the wheelchair out.
"Princess, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company any longer," Liu Ying said with a smile as she rose to take her leave.
Gu Lili nodded, and Liu Ying jogged off, urging the maid to leave.
Seeing how happy she was, Gu Lili guessed that Liu Ying must have some good news.
After Liu Ying left, Gu Lili turned to the stunned Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, didn't you just say you wanted to confess something? Tell me."
Chang'an shook his head.
"Let's talk about it later. I'm going to pack my things now."
As Chang'an spoke, he fled Gu Lili's room as if he were escaping.
Gu Lili shook her head, completely bewildered, and continued packing her bags.
Since Chang'an doesn't want to talk about it, there's no way to force her.
Liu Ying had her maid push her wheelchair and headed straight for Liu Yuanliang's courtyard.
In the past few days, Liu Ying has instructed the servants to provide Liu Yuanliang with the same food he was given when he imprisoned her and her daughter.
Moreover, apart from bringing him food, no one was allowed to speak to him.
Liu Yuanliang has been suffering terribly these past few days, unable to move and ignored by everyone.
At this moment, he finally understood the pain Liu Ying had felt back then.
At first, Liu Yuanliang protested loudly, but when his voice became hoarse, no one responded. Gradually, he accepted the fact.
He guessed to himself that this was probably how his life would be.
Just like when he imprisoned Liu Ying, he would be imprisoned by Liu Ying for the rest of his life.
Liu Ying smiled and instructed the servants to push open Liu Yuanliang's door, and a pungent smell of urine wafted out.
The servants of the Liu family were always good at reading people's expressions, and upon hearing Liu Ying's instructions, they did not need to pay any attention to Liu Yuanliang.
Even when he urinated on the bed, no one paid any attention.
Liu Ying looked up and noticed that Liu Yuanliang looked more than ten years older than he had a few days ago.
Liu Yuanliang belatedly turned his head to look at the door and saw Liu Ying with a happy expression.
He felt like he was dreaming.
"Ying'er, is that you?" Liu Yuanliang asked in a hoarse voice.
Liu Ying's smiling face instantly froze. Liu Yuanliang really knew how to be disgusting.
"Ying'er, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Let's live a good life together from now on, okay?"
