Chapter 84 - 83 Cui Lengzhou
When Li Fan returned, Li Hongyi’s eyes were still red. The mother and daughter reunited, and it was evident they had cried together.
"Xiao Fan, sit." After her grief, Cui Yushang looked at Li Fan with a gentle smile. Despite wearing simple clothes, she still appeared graceful and composed, making others feel very comfortable.
A direct descendant of the Cui Family, twenty years ago, she was also a revered daughter of the Cui Family.
"Thank you, Aunt Cui." Li Fan sat down at the pavilion by the pond.
"Although I’ve never been to Li Mountain, I’ve heard of its reputation. You’re a Li Mountain disciple, and I have nothing substantial to offer you as a gift. This kindness, dear to my heart, I’m afraid I cannot repay," Cui Yushang said softly.
"Aunt Cui, Red Yi and I have been through life and death together in Lin’an County. It’s what we should do; there’s no need for repayment," Li Fan replied.
"I know your heart, but Aunt Cui still feels ashamed," Cui Yushang said. "Back then, the Cui Family oppressed my family and now humiliate Red Yi. Red Yi said if it weren’t for you finding her, she might have met with misfortune in Chuzhou City."
Li Fan looked at Li Hongyi, only to see her beautiful eyes also resting on him. She had just recounted to her mother the experience of meeting Li Fan and coming to Chuzhou and the Cui Family.
"Aunt Cui, why does the Cui Family prevent us from seeing you, even when you’re safe?" Li Fan asked out of curiosity. He had previously worried that the Cui Family was stopping her because she had encountered some unforeseen mishap.
But it now seemed, though Cui Yushang lived a bitter life, she was at least safe, better than he had expected.
"They’re naturally afraid that you would retaliate against the Cui Family using the power of Li Mountain," Cui Yushang mentioned this with chilling eyes. "Although family disgrace is kept within, there’s no need to hide it from you. Back then, when I and Red Yi’s father came together, my parents had some concerns; however, due to their love for me, they blessed the union between me and Daoqing."
