Li Gui took out the list and read out the contents of the box: "Thirty shops on Jingdonghua Road, ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of antiques, twenty boxes of clothing and jewelry..."
The list was very long, and Li Gui had been reading it for a long time without finishing.
There were many items, from large items like money and silver shops to small items like An Yuan'er's daily clothes, tea, and food; everything, big or small, was available.
Everything was provided with the best of everything. Even the dowry a prince received to win a princess was less than what Yi Chenli gave. So much that An Yuan'er suspected that Yi Chenli had emptied the entire Chenyang Palace of all the good things and made her take them all with her.
He was so afraid that An Yuan'er would be bullied at home that he gave her so many things. For a woman, being well-off at home, money and power are the greatest source of confidence. An Yuan'er was already a county princess, and in terms of status, she was second to none. In fact, An Yuan'er didn't lack money, but Yi Chenli still insisted on giving her so much.
An Yuan'er glanced at the item indifferently, without a trace of lingering affection.
She sneered, "Thank me for all these years of companionship? So he's letting me take all this stuff with him? Why doesn't he just pack himself up and let me take him with me?"
It wasn't until she saw Li Gui and all those boxes that An Yuan'er truly believed that Yi Chenli had actually agreed to let her leave, without her knowing.
She was prepared to fight against everyone, no matter who it was, no one could make her leave.
But he just abandoned her like that.
He always wanted to get rid of her, and this wasn't the first time he had done so.
An Yuan'er recalled everything from last night. No wonder he tried his best to fulfill all her wishes; he had already planned that she would leave. That's why he did his best to satisfy her.
She was so touched yesterday!
At this moment, anger, despair, sadness... all sorts of complex emotions intertwined.
With red eyes, An Yuan'er questioned Li Gui, "Where is Yi Chenli? He only asked you to come and see me off, where is he himself?"
Li Gui had known An Yuan'er for many years and had seen many different sides of her. This was the first time Li Gui had seen despair in the girl's eyes.
The girl who used to laugh the most was now standing barefoot in front of him, her hair disheveled, her face pale, her eyes lifeless, as if she had been drained of all her energy.
Li Gui felt a pang of pity, but remembering her master's instructions, she forced herself to say, "My master said that the past is just a dream, and Miss Yuan need not dwell on it. I also wish Miss Yuan a bright future and unlimited prospects... We need not meet again."
"Hahahaha." An Yuan'er suddenly laughed maniacally, then burst into tears: "There's no need to see him again. He really is heartless and cruel... Yi Chenli, you truly are something else!"
An Yuan'er originally thought he was just asking her to go home, but little did she know that the gifts he gave her were also meant to draw a clear line between the two of them.
In his eyes, all those years of companionship were nothing more than a foolish dream, not worth dwelling on.
What's even more ridiculous is that he wished her a bright future. If she really cared about her future, she wouldn't have come to Chenyang Palace without hesitation when she was still a child.
He clearly understood her best, yet he hurt her the most.
Why did you drive her away? Why did you say such hurtful things to her?
Yi Chenli, don't you feel any remorse for treating me like this?
Is it really true that a tyrant's heart cannot be warmed?
