Chapter 658: Chapter 658

Gu Lili asked, "So if you don’t let her go, will she just be left hanging there?"

"Of course not, her people from the Demon World are everywhere; it won’t be long before she is rescued."

"Then this feud is thoroughly sealed." Gu Lili poured a cup of tea and held it in her hand, "I reckon this woman won’t let things rest easily."

"Let her come at us. Does she really think there’s no one who can deal with her?!"

"If she’s causing harm without us knowing, then so be it, but once we’re aware, we’d naturally want to stop her. We’re not in the wrong." Gu Lili finished her tea, pursed her lips, placed the cup on the table, and calmly looked towards the door, "Tenth Prince."

Long Yubei turned his head and saw Shan Langyuan, dressed in green, standing at the door, afraid to come closer.

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-law, could you please move those two swords aside first?"

Gu Lili signaled with her eyes to Long Yubei, who got up and took the two swords to the cloakroom. Only then did Shan Langyuan dare to approach them, his face on the verge of tears.

"What’s with that expression?"

"Seventh Brother, I’ve caused a mess."

With an expression as if on death’s door, Shan Langyuan said, "Isn’t third brother about to have a grand wedding with Jun Xiangyi soon? I thought third sister-in-law already knew about this, but it turns out she had no clue, and I let it slip..."

"She would have found out sooner or later; it’s not something that can be hidden."

"But she shouldn’t have learned it from me. How was I to know that third brother hadn’t told her? Honestly, with such a big issue at hand, why didn’t he talk to third sister-in-law about it?"

Gu Lili interjected, "Probably because he hasn’t figured out how to tell her. After all, third sister-in-law once attempted suicide because of a setback. Maybe third brother is afraid it might happen again."

Upon hearing this, Shan Langyuan grew even more despondent, "Then I’ll have to discreetly keep an eye on third sister-in-law. What if she has such thoughts again?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⦿fire.net

"No need." Gu Lili felt it wasn’t necessary, "She wouldn’t give up on her life just because of these setbacks anymore. This isn’t something third brother can decide on his own; Yuesheng will understand."

"Third sister-in-law said... she blesses third brother’s marriage to the Goddess. I asked her if she would become third brother’s concubine. She said no." Shan Langyuan was downcast, "This means, due to this matter, third sister-in-law and third brother will part ways, and third brother has already moved back to the manor and no longer lives on Wangchuan Mountain."

Gu Lili pondered for a moment, "Yu Bei, why don’t you call Yuesheng and ask her to move back here with the child? It’s not safe for the mother and daughter to live on the mountain alone. It would be troubling if something happened."

Long Yubei made the call, but Nan Yuesheng refused. She said that after the New Year, she planned to take Ningyi to the city for school and would rent a place near the school in advance. She wanted to be self-reliant, capable of supporting herself and her child.

Long Yubei expressed respect for her decision, knowing that she was one to stick firmly to her choices.

After this call ended, Nan Yuesheng sat there in silence for a long time.

The moment she knew Xu Mohan left to marry Jun Xiangyi next month, unable to defy his father’s orders, she felt sorry for him. How sad it was to not even have a say in his own marriage.

Aside from sympathy, another inexplicable feeling emerged, causing her alarm.
