Chapter 169 'The Touch of Love'
The bamboo garden is very big, and the sleeping room is filled with Qin Xiangjun's things.
It can be seen that Mrs. Li takes great care of this cousin. The rouge and powder she uses are all of the best quality, and the material of her clothes is very good just by touching it.
The jewels in the jewelry box almost blinded Gu Ji's eyes. The exquisite gold headpiece and the luxurious gems embellishing it were such a sight that if it were placed in modern times, it would cost at least eight figures.
Of course, Gu Ji knew that everything here was fake.
This should also be one of Li Ruyan's tests.
Anyone who wants to keep anything here privately will not be considered to have passed the test.
As Li Ruyan, she didn't want anything from the Li family. She only wanted love, the love that should have belonged to her.
Qin Xiangjun chased after him, along with Madam Li and the servants.
She slowly sat down in the pavilion in the yard, watching them breathing heavily but not daring to go forward.
"I'll give you one day to get rid of your things, or I'll throw them all out on the street. There will probably be a lot of people grabbing them."
"Li Ruyan! You are an uneducated and rebellious girl!" Mrs. Li scolded angrily!
Gu Ji leaned on the guardrail and said, "It's your fault for not raising the child properly. What's my fault?"
Mrs. Li continued to curse: "You have been a nemesis since you were born. We should never have let you come back!"
Gu Ji: "That's not up to you. It was His Majesty and the Prince who asked me to come back. If you have the guts, go and disobey the order, or have your husband do it. Then I will respect you as a man."
She spoke slowly and steadily, which made Mrs. Li so angry that her heart felt like a raging fire.
Qin Xiangjun softly advised, "Cousin, please stop talking. I will move out soon and give you Bamboo Garden. But my aunt is not in good health, so please don't make her angry."
"Give it to me? Who do you think you are? Give it to me? It was originally mine. Don't be so ungrateful. You came to the capital and used my position and resources to enhance your reputation as a noble lady. But when you saw that I had a relationship with the prince, you gnashed your teeth, didn't you? You were so angry that you wanted to kill me. You wished I would die on the farm forever."
“I didn’t…”
"I'll say it one last time. I'm the County Lord personally appointed by His Majesty. I have an imperial decree. Next time you see me, remember to bow and kneel."
She didn't want to waste any more time talking, so she lay down beside the fence and watched the lotus flowers swaying on the water.
Although these two people were a bit disgusting, Lotus was very beautiful. She lay on the fence and fell asleep unknowingly.
When I woke up, I found myself kneeling on the ground with tablets in front of me.
This is the Li Family Ancestral Hall.
Gu Ji stood up. Everything that was happening now happened during Li Ruyan's lifetime. The established facts could not be changed, so the timeline was naturally chaotic.
As he stood up, he heard angry shouts from behind him.
"Rebellious girl! Who allowed you to stand up?"
Gu Ji turned his head and saw a man wearing a long robe with dark patterns, a goatee, and an icy face, who looked 70% like Li Ruyan, standing angrily not far away.
Judging from his facial features, this is Lord Li.
He is the culprit that caused Li Ruyan's tragedy.
Her knees were sore, swollen, and painful. Gu Ji rubbed them and asked, "You made me kneel here?"
"What? You look like you're still not convinced?! You almost killed your cousin, and you even dared to speak ill of us in front of the prince, saying that we treated you badly. Are you trying to destroy our Li family?!"
A few fragments squeezed into Gu Ji’s mind.
It was winter now, half a year after Li Ruyan returned to the Li Mansion.
Li Ruyan and Qin Xiangjun attended a tea party hosted by the eldest princess's daughter, Princess Chang'an. Behind the rockery, Li Ruyan ran into Qin Xiangjun and Princess Chang'an's fiancé, Liu Chang, the son of the current Taifu, kissing each other. Li Ruyan made a sound in panic and was discovered by Qin Xiangjun.
In order to avoid being exposed, she chose to jump into the freezing water, and later slandered Li Ruyan, saying that she was pushed into the water by Li Ruyan.
Qin Xiangjun caught a cold, fell seriously ill, and almost died.
Gu Ji sighed, "Why didn't he really die?"
"What did you say?!" Lord Li widened his eyes and raised his hand to slap Gu Ji.
Gu Ji was even faster, raising his hand and leaving a 'touch of love' on Lord Li's right cheek.
Lord Li was shocked and his head was slapped to the side.
Li Changzhao pushed the door open and rushed in. Seeing this scene, the dim candlelight in the ancestral hall danced on Gu Ji's face. Her cold eyebrows and thin body cast a long ghostly shadow on the ground.
"Li Ruyan, you are really crazy!"
Gu Ji didn't waste any time and quickly appeared in front of him.
Li Changzhao was so scared that he wanted to step back, but it was too late. Gu Ji also left a "touch of love" on his face.
The father and son both acted in unison at this moment, covering their faces and turning their heads away.
Well, a family should be together.
Li Changzhao was young after all, and recovered faster than his father. He reached into his sleeve and took out a dagger.
A cold light flashed. He had practiced this technique before, and it could be seen from the way he rushed over. It was not a fancy move.
When the dagger was about to pierce Gu Ji's heart, his expression became excited, "Li Ruyan, you deserve to die! You are not my sister, you are a devil!!"
"bass--"
Gu Ji lightly grasped the dagger with his fingertips.
She saw shock and fear in the boy's eyes.
When a person is powerful, people who hate him will be jealous of him, but when a person's power is so strong that no one can match him, people who hate him will only be afraid.
Gu Ji applied a little force with his fingers, and the dagger broke directly.
"How is it possible—" Li Changzhao murmured, "This is made of black iron."
"Black iron?" Gu Ji almost laughed out loud.
She took a half step back with her right leg, lowered her body slightly, raised her right hand, and a long, sharp sword appeared in her hand.
"Want to kill me? Go die first."
Although she knew that the people here had died long ago, whether they were killed by Li Ruyan or died in the long river of history.
But Gu Ji couldn't find any reason not to take revenge.
This man had an extremely frivolous face. As the tip of his knife pointed at Li Changzhao, Gu Ji accurately recounted all the filthy deeds he had done. "You went to the battlefield at the age of twelve. Everyone said you were a young general, but in reality, you used soldiers as shields. Your misjudgment resulted in the deaths of three thousand elite soldiers. To prevent the emperor from blaming you, you deliberately stabbed yourself, claiming you were ambushed. In reality, you hid under the bodies of those soldiers and escaped harm."
Li Zhangzhao shook his head, his face turning pale: "No..."
"You still like Qin Xiangjun, but you don't dare to confess. You can only be her lickspittle. You approach whoever she likes and create conditions for them to get to know each other. Wow, Li Zhangzhao, I've never seen a man as cowardly as you."
“I didn’t…”
"You still frequent brothels. On the surface, you told Madam Li that you practiced martial arts every day, but in reality, your health has begun to deteriorate. You even contracted syphilis and have been looking for someone to treat you."
"I--"
"puff--"
The knife pierced into Li Changzhao's body.
Gu Jizhu caught her off guard. She smiled and said, "If you want to make an excuse, go to the underworld and explain to the King of Hell."
