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?
No, it did not make sense. She loved her daughter; she would have returned if she was not dead. At least, she should come back to visit her daughter or even bring her away from the Gu family.
The real Gu Xijiu used to stay alone in the broken courtyard, it was very easy to bring her away.
There must be a hidden reason behind the story.
She pondered as she knocked on the bed frame lightly.
...
The moon was shining brightly onto the quiet courtyard on a breezy night.
Gu Xietian came to Luo Xinglan’s courtyard again. Tonight, he had insomnia too.
He paid a visit to Leng Xiangyu earlier; she had become so much thinner only after three days.
Leng Xiangyu was agitated when she saw Gu Xietian. She kept pulling his sleeve and begged him to stay. She did not want to stay there alone, lest Luo Xinglan comes back for revenge. She was crying pitifully, and that made Gu Xietian feel annoyed. He then told the servant to get a doctor to prescribe some medicine for her.
Gu Xietian did not stay with any of his mistresses - only in that courtyard.
Perhaps, that was the only place he could find the memories between him and Luo Xinglan.
"Dear, is it you? Why don't you come to see me? I’ve been waiting for you for so many years and I was hoping just to see you once. It’s fine even if I could only see you in my dreams. But you didn’t even come, not even once…"
He sighed and was anxious. He pondered before leaving the house...
As Gu Xijiu was just about to fall asleep, the servant outside reported, "Miss, the General is here to see you…"
Initially, Gu Xijiu did not want to see him. However, she decided to entertain him for a while.
Gu Xietian had drank a few cups of tea since he entered the house. Gu Xijiu suspected that he was too thirsty earlier, so that could be the reason he paid a visit. Gu Xietian suddenly spoke, "Xijiu, don't you even want to know what happened between your mom and I?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
Now she knew the General did not drop by for the tea but instead, was seeking for a listener...
Initially, Gu Xijiu was not really keen to lend him an ear. However, she could not deny that she was actually curious about their story. She poured a cup of tea and put it into his hand, "Yes, I do. Go ahead."
Gu Xietian had finally found a listener and he just carried on retelling his entire history.
Gu Xietian grew up in a poor family. He liked to play with weapons and eventually, he became a gangster. One day, he was involved in a fight and was almost killed. Luckily, a female knight had saved him and that was Gu Xijiu's mother, Luo Xinglan.
Luo Xinglan came from a family with good Kung Fu. She was naive and hot-tempered; Gu Xietian fell in love with her at first sight and she finally accepted his proposal. Luo Xinglan even ran away from home to marry him and that was the fairytale since then.
Luo Xinglan had disclosed all her family's secret methods of martial arts to Gu Xietian. Indeed, he was a talented one and his martial arts were even much better than hers.
He was really good at it and was willing to learn. Coupled with the effort Luo Xinglan put in by building their network, Gu Xietian became a military general from a gangster in ten years...
