Gu Lili then said, "I don’t want to be untrustworthy in front of them; otherwise, if I send them to the underworld, they could file a complaint against me, and no matter the impact, it would still affect me."
"Exactly." Old Madam Long looked at her heartachingly, "Lili has really suffered a lot, and it’s all because of grandmother. If it weren’t for you, grandmother might have already died."
"Grandmother, don’t let anyone near you. Now that people are watching over you and as long as the talisman paper is placed correctly, you will be fine. It’s just the mastermind behind all this, I don’t know if they will give up."
Old Madam Long remembered her words, "Whether they give up or not, we must take preventive measures, and everyone should place the talisman paper Lili gave us."
The family doctor came over to give Gu Lili an IV drip.
Gu Lili didn’t need to look in the mirror; she could feel what her complexion looked like.
Her eyelids felt heavy, and her head was a bit dizzy. She whispered to Long Yubei who was by her side, "I’m going to lean on this and sleep for a while."
"Go to a room to sleep."
"No need." She didn’t want to move at all.
In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep.
Old Madam Long’s voice grew softer, "Beibei, did you see? When it’s crucial, we still have to rely on your daughter-in-law Lili. Thinking about Lili’s master, it’s such a pity for the Gu Family. I’ve seen the deceased Mrs. Gu, who was quite charming and had such abilities, yet the Gu Family didn’t cherish her and even drove her to the mountains. If I ever meet Old Madam Gu, I really want to tell her off for being blind."
"Mom, you shouldn’t be too nosy." Dragon Mother felt it had nothing to do with her, and she thought it was inappropriate to talk about others like that.
"I indeed like being nosy." Old Madam Long frowned, "I’m just speaking some fair words, I feel relieved by pricking her conscience, and also, this is a warning for you."
Dragon Mother was confused, "A warning for me... what kind?"
"You must treat our Lili well in the future, otherwise, if something happens again, who will care for you?"
Dragon Mother was at a loss for words, she replied noncommittally, "I’ll try my best, isn’t that enough?"
"I don’t care what outsiders say, but Lili is our daughter-in-law. If you dare to speak ill of her again, I absolutely won’t tolerate it."
"Mom... I’m not saying anything against her now, am I?" Dragon Mother contemplated, thinking that the old lady really did protect Gu Lili.
Old Madam Long, still nursing an injury, stood up with the help of Father Long to return to her room to rest.
Dragon Mother and Father Long also returned to their room.
Long Tianjiao also stood up, "Brother, I’m going back to my room too."
Long Yubei nodded, and suddenly only he and the sleeping Gu Lili were left in the living room.
He extended his hand to brush her hair aside from her forehead and studied her face closely.
She was exceedingly peaceful in her sleep.
It was as if the sleeping her and the radiant, lively Gu Lili were not the same person.
After an IV bottle was finished, he removed the needle, and she still didn’t wake up.
Long Yubei carried her to the car and took her home. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novｅlfire.net
Just as they left, Father Long was getting ready to head out.
Dragon Mother stopped him, "Going out so late?"
"Got a card game planned."
Dragon Mother asked, "Aren’t you afraid those filthy things will target you? Don’t go out, stay home and sleep."
"I slept in the afternoon, can’t sleep now. Why don’t you come with me?"
Dragon Mother, still nervous from Old Madam Long’s incident, dared not go out late at night, "I’m not going."
