After getting married, Mei Xiaoli moved to a villa area with excellent security, and her family never even saw her.
Later, the Mei family never came to see her again. Belated concern is worthless; she no longer needed a guardian.

The Mei family sat in the cramped living room sighing. Because the house was small, their grandson had taken over Mei Xiaoli's room, which led to her running away from home and never returning.
Later, Li Qingxia gave birth to another son, making the house even more crowded.
When the eldest grandson turned twenty and started dating, the Mei family could no longer accommodate everyone.
Li Qingxia urged Mei Xiaowen to send the elderly couple to the countryside so that the house could be freed up for the two brothers to live in.
Mei Xiaowen agreed without much consideration. After all, his parents didn't seem old yet. He planned to buy a bigger house and bring the two elderly people back after he made some money in a few years.
It's pitiful that Mei's parents, being old, were sent back to the countryside. Their old home in the countryside had been in disrepair for many years, and many parts were damaged. Moreover, having lived in the city for so long, they were not used to the countryside.
In less than a year, they both aged considerably.
When Mei Xiaoli learned of the couple's situation, she quietly took out the local minimum living allowance and sent it to the two elderly people.
That's all.
Mei's mother cried and wouldn't let Mei Xiaoli leave.
"Xiaoxiao, how could you be so heartless? Parents are never wrong, do you really hold such a grudge?"
Mei Xiaoli didn't say much. It wasn't easy for her to be reborn. In her previous life, her parents had already broken her heart.
“You’ve already given up on me. I’ll take care of you in your old age, but don’t expect anything more.”
From then on, Mei Xiaoli never saw her parents again. She lived a happy life, devoted to her husband and children.

In the tenth year of the Taihe era, Gu Fei of the Kang Le Prince's Mansion was sent as an envoy to the Miao region by imperial decree.
He received a warm welcome from the Miao King, who settled him in the most luxurious inn on South Street.
The streets were bustling with activity that evening, and having nothing else to do, he went out to watch the excitement.
It turns out that the annual Torch Festival in Miao territory has arrived, and everyone is preparing for the grand event that evening.
"Guest, you don't know, our Torch Festival is a paradise for men, and you've come at just the right time."
The waiter gave a warm introduction.
"If a girl tosses you a purse, remember to pick the prettiest one; she'll take you back to her tent tonight..."
The waiter chuckled, his expression particularly lewd.
"Just enjoy yourself, and come back tomorrow morning."
Gu Fei scoffed at this custom. He already had a virtuous wife at home, and naturally had no interest in such romantic affairs.
"In that case, I won't go out."
Just as he was about to head back home, he was stopped by Yu Dunhua, the imperial envoy who was traveling with him.
"Why don't you go and see for yourself, Brother Gu? You can then tell His Majesty about it when you return to court."
Gu Fei thought about it and realized it made sense, so he went with Yu Dunhua.
Remembering the waiter's words, he didn't pick up the purse on the ground, afraid of getting into trouble.
Yu Dunhua didn't pick it up either. He had heard what the waiter said, but he wanted to pick the prettiest one.
Halfway there, Yu Dunhua disappeared without a trace. Gu Fei had seen enough, so he prepared to return to the inn to rest.
Just then, a band came along and blocked the way. Gu Fei decided to wait a while until the sedan chair had passed before he could go.
The sedan chair, carried by eight men, was decorated with fresh flowers, and light gauze on all sides fluttered in the wind, revealing glimpses of the beautiful woman inside.
Gu Fei glanced at it a couple more times.
The sedan chair suddenly stopped, the veil was lifted, and a beautiful woman stepped out.
