The lady in the red dress answered coldly, "It’s not necessary to see him."
Reunions are always a story to be told, however, reunions are not always as easy as we think it would be. There are many things which we could never turn back after an argument.
"It’s so annoying to see that woman taking over your place!" The young lady in the green dress expressed angrily.
The lady in the red dress did not respond to her.
"Our master doesn’t give a sh*t about that place!" Another young lady said, "He doesn't deserve our master!"
"You're right. Our master only cares about Miss Xijiu. Sigh, she didn't have to suffer for so long if our master didn't undergo amnesia…"
The lady in the red dress raised her hand to hint silence, "Both of you seem very busy huh? Are you done with what I’ve instructed you to do earlier?"
"Yes, master! Everything is ready!"
The lady in the red dress nodded, "Then, we should go!"
Three shadows then disappeared from the roof.
...
Three days have passed.
The General’s residence had been a hive of activity in the last three days.
The princes, Duchess, and the extended families of the royal family were busy visiting the Gu family.
Apparently, all of them came to see Gu Xijiu, but she had no interest in meeting them. Thus, she told them that she was under the weather.
After Leng Xiangyu returned, Gu Xietian kept her in a quiet courtyard with the reason that she failed to educate the daughters well.
Although he did not divorce her for his son, he took back her authority as the female master of the family and promoted one of his mistresses, who was quite close to Gu Xijiu.
That was because many of the government servants and royal families would visit them and it was definitely inappropriate if he allows a mistress to serve them. Therefore, he promoted the mistress to be his legal wife who had an equivalent status as Leng Xiangyu, so that she could serve them with a more suitable identity.
The mistresses in the Gu family had finally realized who was the one they should please. They then suddenly became very passionate in meeting Gu Xijiu.
If Gu Xietian did not issue an order to prevent people from disturbing Gu Xijiu, all of them could not wait to greet Gu Xijiu twice a day.
Although Leng Xiangyu was still the official wife, she had been completely ignored and locked in that quiet courtyard. She did not even have a close servant to stay with her but an old aunt instead.
Many years ago, Leng Xiangyu told someone to punish the old aunt because of a minor mistake and she almost lost one of her legs. Even now, her leg was still in pain when she walks. Now, she was definitely not happy as she was assigned to serve Leng Xiangyu. Sometimes, she did not even prepare a meal for her.
Birds of a feather, flock together.
Since Leng Xiangyu was recognized as the official wife, she had changed all the supervisors to only those she trusted.
Leng Xiangyu was an evil person who did not keep her promises. Those people who she hired had a similar character as she did. They always bullied the weak and tend to please the affluent community, those who they can benefit from.
Those people rushed to please her when she was in power, however, none of them were with her now. The meals they prepared for the servants were even much better than her meals; some of the food was even spoilt...
Although Leng Xiangyu told those supervisors to torture Luo Xinglan many years ago when she was trapped in the quiet courtyard, some of the loyal servants secretly delivered some clothes and food to her.
However, none of the servants had secretly paid a visit to Leng Xiangyu.
Coincidentally, her son (Gu Tianchao) had gone out to run some errands, otherwise, she might be able to live slightly more comfortably than she does now.
Things have changed. She finally experienced what Luo Xinglan had suffered through before.
The difference was that Gu Xietian still loved Luo Xinglan when she was locked in the quiet courtyard; he just wanted her to be more obedient.
Even when he spent time with Leng Xiangyu, he still screamed Luo Xinglan’s name in his dreams. He even said something like, "Xing, I’ll let you out if you apologize." That drove Leng Xiangyu mad.
And now, Leng Xiangyu has been locked up and Gu Xietian did not love her anymore. In fact, he hated her...
It was a quiet night. Leng Xiangyu was sitting on the bed with her hair messily hung upon her shoulders. She had insomnia.
"Luo Xinglan, are you happy now?! I'm sure you're laughing at me now! Hmph! So what!? I'm the one who spent more than 20 years with him.. And you… You only spent ten years with him. He is mine! He will never be yours again! My son will soon be the master of the family and your son had gone missing in the Dark Forest! Hahaha! He is dead! I'm fine to be here now, I'll be set free when my son returns home and this will be my empire again…"
Initially, she was just mumbling and slowly increased her volume. She even laughed like a banshee at the end.
Suddenly, "Clank!". The window had been blown by the strong wind and flung open. Leng Xiangyu looked out the window and trembled in fear!
Under the moonlight, there was a lady in red standing in the small pavilion...
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Leng Xiangyu screamed! "Ghost…"
...
Her scream had disturbed the entire residence, including Gu Xijiu who had just begun to lie down on the bed.
She heard the scream and chaos outside and decided to take a look. She told the servants to check it out. Very soon, the servant returned and told her Leng Xiangyu seemed to have gone insane and kept screaming Madame Luo's name and kept repeating that there was a ghost...
The servant even asked Gu Xijiu, "Miss, do you think Madame Luo has returned and is trying to seek revenge?"
Gu Xijiu smiled and remained silent.
Luo Xinglan had committed suicide when Gu Xijiu was one year old. Since then, no one dared to mention a word of her.
Therefore, even the real Gu Xijiu did not have many memories of her own mother.
Gu Xijiu owned the memory when she possessed the body. She knew that the incident was not as simple as that. However, she did not have the interest to know the truth as well.
In her opinion, that must be a fierce battle in the family and Luo Xinglan was the loser...
However, she did not think the revenge made any sense. Luo Xinglan has passed away for more than ten years now, and she would have prevented it earlier, instead of waiting until now...
Gu Xijiu returned to her bed and suddenly thought of something!
What if Luo Xinglan was still alive?!
Has she finally returned?
