Chapter 13: Ancient Mansion

Tianqi Continent, outside the Imperial City.

It was after dusk, and the streets were no longer as lively as they were during the day, except for the occasional few people rushing past.

At the end of the street, a large mansion stands here, and the word "Gufu" shines golden in the sunset.

Stopping, Gu Li looked at the two big characters on the door and whispered "Gu Fu"

The master and the servant stood one behind the other.

"Miss, why don't you go in!" Yingxi couldn't help but urge when she saw her young lady looking at the door in a daze.

The Prime Minister would definitely be happy if he knew that the young lady came back safely, and at the same time she frowned, but the eldest lady and the others would definitely not give up.

Sensing the gazes of the people around him, Gu Li turned his head and caught Ying Xi's eyes that looked neither happy nor worried, and he had an idea in his mind.

Could it be that the real eldest lady of the Gu family is not favored?

Gu Li was a little amused when he saw Ying Xi's expression as if she was looking forward to death, as if the road ahead of her was not a road, but a hell.

She moved her gaze to the door of the ancient mansion again, and her eyes suddenly became sharp. She still didn't believe what these people could do to her!

In the courtyard of the ancient mansion, in the main hall.

Weeping sounds were heard one after another. Prime Minister Gu Xi, who was Gu Li's father, was directly above him. His face was covered with frost and there was no emotion at all. His hands were tightly holding the peach wood chair under him. He seemed normal.

Only the slight trembling of his body revealed his mood.

Until now, she still couldn't accept the bad news that Gu Li was dead.

It has been three full days, but the people he sent out still found nothing.

The cries became louder and louder, which made him feel upset for a while, and he couldn't help but roar out, "Shut up, everyone!"

The owner's roar was unusual, and the room fell silent.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I know that you are feeling uncomfortable, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so I would like to ask you to express your condolences!" Lifting up her tearful eyes, the eldest lady Cheng Ying sobbed and persuaded.

Although she is over thirty years old, she still retains her charm. Now coupled with her pitiful expression, I feel pity for her. Therefore, Gu Xi's eyes, which were full of anger, became a little gentler.

"Li'er can't die!" Gu Xi shook his sleeves fiercely and turned his back.

When Cheng Ying heard this, his eyes flashed with viciousness again, but only for a moment.

"Yes, I don't believe it either. Although Li'er's temperament... is not very good, he is definitely not a short-lived person." After saying this, she sighed, and a touch of sadness appeared on her flowery face. "I wanted to take advantage of it.

I burned incense this time to pray for the peace of my ancient mansion, but unexpectedly..." The rest of the words were replaced by crying again.

As if Cheng Ying stood up, the crying that had just stopped started again.

Although there are not many wives and concubines in Gu Xi, there are dozens of them if you take a closer look. Now that the cries are heard, there are actually some people in the town.

Outside the hall, Gu Li retracted his foot that he had just stepped in, turned around and left.

Since eating snake gall, her hearing has also become quite severe.

As she approached the place, she heard voices and cries in the hall. After thinking about it, she decided not to go in yet.
