Chapter 47 Past Emotions
An Junxi felt a chill in her heart, "How did she die? Does it have anything to do with the master and mistress?"
"It’s sort of indirectly related. Lv Mo was being harassed by the family’s creditors for debts, and the young master was grounded. She had an accident when the young master wasn’t around. It’s said..." Sister Li rubbed her arms eerily, "It’s said she was gang-raped and tortured to death by several creditors."
An Junxi’s skin prickled with goosebumps. It took her a long while to speak, "That girl is truly pitiful."
"Isn’t she? I’ve seen her. A very good girl, pure, lovable, kind-hearted, and beautiful. But with such a family, her whole life was ruined."
An Junxi guessed, "After Lv Mo’s death, Mr. Gu felt guilty, so he especially took care of her sister. Is that right?"
Sister Li nodded, "That’s right. All these years, the young master has been looking after Lv Jing. It’s the only way to make up for Lv Mo. They were twin sisters and had a very good relationship. You must never mention Lv Mo’s name in front of the young master. He has not been able to forget her all these years. He still keeps her photo in his room and buys a bouquet of lilies to visit her grave on her anniversary every year. No matter how important a meeting might be, he always keeps that time free."
An Junxi remembered seeing Gu Yikun with Lv Jing at the flower shop. At that time, Lv Jing was wearing a white dress, holding a bouquet of lilies. They walked out side by side, and she misunderstood them as a couple because of that.
It seems they were going to visit Lv Mo together.
She spoke softly, "Mr. Gu still can’t get over Lv Mo. His ex-wife must be very sad."
"It’s all just political marriage. The young master also suffered. Since Lv Mo passed away, I haven’t seen him smile much," sighed Sister Li, "Everything is fate, not a bit under human control." She murmured a Buddhist scripture.
