"What do you mean?" Li Weiyang frowned at the corner.

"Become Guo's daughter, your bargaining chips will become more. Wouldn't that be good?" Wen Xiaolou smiled.

Li Weiyang frowned even more: "I'm asking you, even though I know that Xiaoman is Mrs. Guo's biological daughter, why do you lie?"

Wen Xiaolou said lightly: "She is dead."

Li Weiyang was unhappy and said, "So what?" Did Xiaoman's life and death affect her blood relationship with Mrs. Guo? No.

"I was thinking - we are quite destined to be together, aren't we? We obviously have no connection, but we can meet each other." A cold self-deprecating look appeared on Wen Xiao's floor. Maybe he didn't want to have such a destiny. If possible, he would rather not meet Li Weiyang, and would rather never come to Dadu. As long as he guards Xiaoman, even if he wanders around in a desolate place, the situation of separation between heaven and man is much better.

Li Weiyang said: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Don't you understand?" Wen Xiaolou shook his head, his expression dimmed a little. "If Xiaoman is not dead, Mrs. Guo will definitely try to recognize her, but what is Xiaoman's identity? What is an actor? How much better is a prostitute? She has been on stage and countless people know her. Even if she is innocent, this lowly identity cannot be removed and will follow her for the rest of her life. No matter how powerful the Guo family is, it cannot block the people in the world. Xiaoman likes to sing operas, play with children, and runs in the fields. She is born to be a free and comfortable life, and the restraint in the mansion will make her feel more uncomfortable than death. Therefore, even if she is alive, I will not let her follow Mrs. Guo."

Li Weiyang stared at him and said slowly: "I want to hear the truth."

Wen Xiaolou sneered and said, "The truth is, if I told Mrs. Guo that Xiaoman was dead, she would be sad and angry, but she might not be able to avenge Xiaoman."

"Xiaoman is her biological daughter, so she will definitely avenge Xiaoman." Li Weiyang shook his head.

"Ha!" Wen Xiaolou's smile became colder, "Madam Guo might be resentful and lost for a while, but Xiaoman didn't grow up by her. After all, she wouldn't talk about her feelings. Will the Guo family offend King Yan Yuanyu for a loveless daughter? If I go against King Yan, I will go against Queen Pei. If I were Duke Qi, I would not lose the future of the entire family for a dead daughter!"

He said such cold words, but his eyes were desperate. Li Weiyang sighed. Maybe Mrs. Guo’s love for Xiaoman is so strong that she can do anything, but as Duke Qi, he is carrying the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the entire family, would he agree to do this? Li Weiyang did not understand Duke Qi. If he was a person like Li Xiaoran, he would only treat him as a daughter who had never been, and it would be better to admit that his biological flesh and blood had become a low-ranking female actor. Because of this, Wen Xiaolou was unwilling to take risks.

"You can't be sure, right?" Wen Xiaolou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Li Weiyang, "So, what should I do? Isn't it clear?"

Li Weiyang should have seized this opportunity without hesitation and climbed up as Xiaoman. Yes, she has been doing this for many years in the past, so what’s the point of feeling guilty now? Li Weiyang couldn’t help but take a deep breath, then vented it quietly, then looked at Wen Xiaolou and whispered: “This is too risky.”

Wen Xiaolou smiled and said, "Risk? Are you afraid? Oh, I forgot, you will be worried about being recognized by your enemies. But that's your own business."

Li Weiyang looked at Wen Xiaolou and sighed. This person had a misfortune and lost his love. In one aspect, he was indeed pitiful, but on the other hand, he was very cunning and used all means to achieve his goal, even without regard for any consequences. He asked himself to replace Xiaoman and enter the Guo family, but the real consequences would not be considered for her. His meaning was very clear. If you have the ability, you should gain a foothold in the Guo family, use the power of the Guo family to seek revenge. If you are not capable and recognized, you deserve to be unlucky and have no consequences in life and death. This person is really ruthless and righteous...

Wen Xiaolou still opened his eyes and looked at Li Weiyang without blinking.

"You choose to enter the Guo family, which means that you are carrying greater risks and more difficult. If you can make the Guo family admit you fairly, it would be a blessing. Once exposed, you may die without a burial place. Not to mention Yuexi, the Guo family will not let you go first." Wen Xiaolou said this, smiling, his smile was very complicated, and it was difficult to tell what kind of mood he was looking at Li Weiyang, as if he was resentful that she replaced her position as Xiaoman, but he also had a little begging, "But if you succeed, the Guo family will definitely help you go higher, farther, and even farther than you imagine."

Li Weiyang sneered and said, "Yes, you have considered me clearly the gains and losses. I failed and it will be harmless to you. You can leave Yuexi as soon as you turn around, but if I succeed, I can avenge you and Xiaoman. It's really a good plan."

A trace of undetectable light flashed in Wen Xiaolou's eyes: "Where did we agree on what we said? If you lose, how could I leave you alone?"

Compared with Xiaoman, this person is really cunning and selfish. I really don’t know why he likes Xiaoman so much... No, maybe, people in the dark will yearn for the light, just like Wen Xiaolou, even Li Weiyang cannot refuse such kind eyes.

Li Weiyang glanced at the fairyland, and Song's mother poked her head out and looked anxiously in this direction, as if waiting for her. Li Weiyang turned around, smiled gently, and said, "Wen Xiaolou."

Wen Xiaolou couldn't help but look at her, showing a slightly surprised expression.

"I want to enter the Guo family." Li Weiyang stared at her and said seriously, "You are the first person to be killed."

Wen Xiaolou showed a look of fear for the first time. Li Weiyang continued to say: "No one knows Xiaoman's existence, except you. If I kill you, no matter how others suspect me, there is no evidence. Because the Buddhist beads are in my hands, I am the real Guo Jia."

Wen Xiaolou looked at the dark eyes, and couldn't find any trace of human feelings. A terror flashed across his heart. How could he forget about what kind of person he was facing? How could he think he could use her to lure her to avenge him! Li Weiyang wanted to kill him, it was as easy as crushing an ant...

The atmosphere seemed extremely nervous for a moment, and Wen Xiaolou's back was involuntarily wet with sweat.

Li Weiyang suddenly laughed. Her smile seemed to melt the ice and snow, and immediately felt a little gentle, as if what she had just said was just a joke: "Wen Xiaolou, I only say something once, you can remember it."

Wen Xiaolou looked at her in shock.

"You are very smart, and you know how to observe words and expressions better than others, and you know better how to grasp people's weaknesses and use them to do things for you. This is your innate mind and your advantage. But you must know that many things are too much. If you can't grasp the standards well, be too smart and let others know, it's not a good thing." Li Weiyang said this and smiled, "In this game, I am the master. Remember your identity! If there is any outrage, I will let you accompany Xiaoman. I believe she will be lonely alone."

Wen Xiaolou's voice began to tremble: "You..."

"Don't forget, how did you kill Xue Gui at that time? If I revealed this to the Minister of Revenue, can you, Wen Xiaolou, escape from Dadu safely? So, I win, you win, I die, you don't even want to escape from heaven. All your opportunities are in my hands. Do you understand?" Li Weiyang's eyes were so bright, but bottomless, with a terrible power that could shake his heart.

Wen Xiaolou suddenly understood that Li Weiyang had planned to do something from the beginning and let him kill Xue Guicai take action. With such a handle in her hands, if she had a little bit of betrayal, she would die without a place to die. The girl in front of her was still smiling, as innocent as a child.

As beautiful and gentle as Xiaoman, but one is as warm as the sun, and the other is as cold as the moon. Wen Xiaolou suddenly recalled the scene he saw that day. Yes, Xiaoman would obey his instructions in everything, but Li Weiyang wanted the absolute master. He originally thought she was a woman, and he could easily control her and control this revenge by using all the methods he could use. Now it seems that he was too naive. Working with her was simply dealing with the devil, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Do you want to give up now? Wen Xiaolou's heart is trembling. No, he will not give up. He has vowed to himself... When Yuan Yu tortured Xiaoman with such cruel means, he vowed to himself - remember Xiaoman's humiliation, grief and despair, he wants to take revenge! He must take revenge! Wen Xiaolou took a breath and turned the railway firm, "I won't betray you."

Li Weiyang looked at him gently and said, "No, I won't betray Xiaoman."

There seemed to be some emotion in Wen Xiaolou's eyes. He said word by word: "Yes, even if I die, I will not betray Xiaoman."

The breeze blew against Li Weiyang's dress. She smiled softly and said, "Okay, since you have made some promises, I will tell you the truth. I am not Guo Jia, and don't expect me to impersonate him. That is the most inferior method. Do you understand?"

After saying this, she turned around and entered the room without looking at the other person's expression.

Mother Song looked at Li Weiyang with a look of anticipation: "Miss, Madam is waiting for you!" Li Weiyang glanced at Mrs. Guo and frowned slightly. Mrs. Guo had already walked up quickly, staring at Li Weiyang with all concentration, and was very nervous: "Jia'er, it's all that my mother is not good. It's because she accidentally lost you. My mother will take good care of you in the future. Is it okay to go home with me?"

"Mrs. Guo, I have something to say, please shut up." Mrs. Guo was stunned, and did not respond for a long time. Her eyes that looked very similar to Xiaoman made a strange feeling appear in Li Weiyang's heart. Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Mother Song quickly said to the girl next to her: "You all go out and guard, and no one is allowed to come in."

The girls all retreated and closed the door carefully. Li Weiyang looked at Mrs. Guo and said, "Mrs. Guo, I'm sorry, but I'm not your daughter, and these strings of Buddhist beads do not belong to me..." Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't react at all, and Mother Song also looked at Li Weiyang in surprise.

Li Weiyang said solemnly: "I got this Buddhist bead from a girl named Xiaoman, and she has already passed away unfortunately..." Song's mother widened her eyes in surprise, and Mrs. Guo took a deep breath, and her whole emotions became even tense in an instant. She was captured by the strong expectation and memories, and could not accept all of this. She rushed forward quickly and grabbed Li Weiyang's wrist: "No! No! No! You are my Jiaer, and my mother is always looking for you..."

Li Weiyang tried hard to break free, but Mrs. Guo, a gentle and weak lady, had her fingers like iron pliers, and she used all her strength to catch Li Weiyang, as if she was afraid that she would run away. "I knew you were my Jiaer at first sight. How could you not recognize me..."

"Madam! Madam! You let go!" Mother Song was shocked by what Li Weiyang said. Seeing that Li Weiyang looked wrong, she rushed over and grabbed Mrs. Guo's hand nervously and begged: "Madam, have you heard what this lady said? She is not our lady! You admit your mistake, really admit your mistake, let go..."

However, Mrs. Guo's expression was extremely abnormal. She grabbed Li Weiyang desperately and tears kept falling: "No, Jiaer, mom knows that you blame me for not protecting you, causing you to suffer so much, but mom doesn't know that war will suddenly happen. At that time, the whole mansion was in chaos. Mom always thought that the wet nurse and the guard were by your side, so she went to find your grandmother first. When she came back, she realized that the wet nurse had died of war and you were gone... It's okay if you blame me and blame me, it's okay, but you are my daughter, you can't even refuse to recognize your biological mother!"

Li Weiyang felt something was wrong. Mrs. Guo was out of control at this moment, as if she hadn't heard everything she said.

She glanced at Zhao Yue beside her, and Zhao Yue immediately walked up and separated Mrs. Guo's hand hard. After all, she was a martial arts practitioner. Mrs. Guo staggered and almost fell to the ground. Zhao Yue hurriedly said: "Mrs. Please let my lady go. She is not your daughter! Your daughter is dead!"

But Mrs. Guo suddenly widened her eyes and glared at Zhao Yue: "What are you talking about? Jiaer is obviously still alive!"

Li Weiyang took a step back in shock by her, looked at Song's mother and said, "What's going on with your wife?"

Mother Song was very anxious and said, "I'm sorry, this lady, our wife misses her too much, and she must have had a dysfunction again. Don't say that it's not a lady!"

Zhao Yue said in surprise: "What's going on with you?! It's getting more and more entangled!" As she said that, she said to Li Weiyang: "Miss, let's go quickly!"

Li Weiyang frowned and looked at Mrs. Guo, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart. She nodded and said to Song's mother: "Wait until Mrs. Guo calms down, let's talk again."

After saying that, Li Weiyang had turned around and left, but Mrs. Guo followed her, desperately trying to grab her sleeve. Mother Song grabbed Mrs. Guo hard. Li Weiyang saw that he had left the door. Madam Guo was shocked and anxious. She hurriedly chased her, but fell to the ground and couldn't even get up. Mother Song saw that it was not good and shouted: "Miss! Miss! Madam fainted!"

Li Weiyang stopped and looked back, with a hint of disbelief on his face.

Mother Song rushed out of the door and said to the guard who was waiting outside: "Hurry up! Go and invite the prince!"

Then, Mother Song grabbed Li Weiyang's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Miss, I know you are not, but I'm asking you to wait until the Duke comes to care about it, okay?" Mother Song quickly thought in her heart. Even if this lady is not Guo Jia, according to what she said just now, she must know her true where she will go. If she lets her go like this now, where will she look for it in the vast crowd?!

Li Weiyang sighed. Seeing that Xiaoman took care of Minzhi, she should have explained this matter clearly. She took the initiative to walk back, helped Mrs. Guo up in person, asked her to sit on the chair aside, and told Zhao Yue to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Guo. Seeing that she was drinking, her mood calmed a little, she said softly: "I know you are anxious to find your daughter, but I am really not Guo Jia."

"Jia'er, why don't you admit it? I've been looking for you for so long, crying day and night, and my eyes are almost gone!" Mrs. Guo couldn't listen at all and looked at her in a daze.

"I am not from Yuexi, I am from Dali, my surname is Li, and I have my own parents..."

"Okay, okay, you are not from Yuexi. You have your own surname and your own parents, but I am your biological mother--"

Li Weiyang seemed to be abnormal when he saw Mrs. Guo's mind. He looked back at Song's mother, but Song's mother lowered her head to wipe her tears.

Because of this string of Buddhist beads, what kind of difficult incident he was involved in? Li Weiyang had almost a headache. He couldn't explain it clearly no matter what, so he could only wait for the Duke of Qi to come. After waiting for less than half an hour, someone quickly walked upstairs.

The visitor was elegant and handsome, wearing four python robes, with a string of verbal Jiulong jade plaques tied with Ruyi ears on his waist. In the sunshine, ten east beads on the crown of the second floor were trembling slightly, crystal clear, rich and elegant, with Tsinghua and elegant style, every move was like a great man. He seemed to be too hurrying, with sweat beads hanging on his forehead. Despite this, he did not lose his natural nobleness and demeanor at all. Seeing Mrs. Guo's face covered in tears, he instantly felt like he was stabbed with an awl, his face turned extremely pale, and he walked in with a big stride, holding her and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" While saying, he stared at Mother Song with anger, "Madam is not in good health, who will let you take her out?!"

Song's mother was obviously afraid of the visitor and knelt down and said, "Dude, I... I have no choice..."

"Hmph! Each one is useless, and even the wife can't take good care of her!" Guo Su, Duke of Qi, cared about his wife very much, and even hugged her with his arms tightly. His eyes were only looking at her with concern, but Mrs. Guo seemed to have not seen him, staring at Li Weiyang. Only then did Guo Su notice that there was a young girl sitting opposite her, with a pretty face and elegant temperament. A thought suddenly emerged in his mind, saying: "Are you--" What can make his wife lose her composure like this is... He almost dared not think about it, and his eyes were already faintly excited.

Li Weiyang was afraid of another misunderstanding, so he immediately said, "Sorry, Mrs. Guo seemed to misunderstand that I was her daughter. It should be because of these strings of Buddhist beads..." She said, just as she was about to explain clearly. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Guo broke away from Guo Su's arms, stepped forward and pulled Li Weiyang's sleeve, begging, "Jia'er, go back with my mother, okay? I won't mention those nonsense anymore-"

Who is talking nonsense? Li Weiyang has never encountered such a situation. If it were the past, she had already left the crazy lady Gui and turned around and left, but the other party was the Duke of Qi. She didn't want to cause more trouble, so she had to explain the matter clearly.

"Madam! Let go first!" Guo Su saw Li Weiyang's embarrassment and whispered, "I have said that I am not our daughter. What's the use of you tangling like this? You will scare me, let go, okay?" In his voice, it seemed like a pleading. However, he turned his head and shouted angrily at Song's mother: "Have you taken medicine today?"

Song's mother was trembling: "Mrs. I took the medicine when she went out early in the morning..."

Guo Su frowned, and he twisted his wife's body hard and said loudly: "Xianglan, this is not our daughter!" Mrs. Guo turned to look at him, her voice was extremely sad and extremely sad: "I don't care! She is Jiaer, she must be Jiaer! I saw the Buddhist beads with my own eyes. She is my daughter! You owe me, this is what you owe me. If it weren't for your negligence, how could you throw away Jiaer? You return my daughter to me!"

Guo Su's face suddenly turned pale, with flashes of fluorescent lights in her pupils, standing underground like nails, without saying a word or moving...

"I will never let anyone take away Jiaer and me!" Mrs. Guo shook him away and grabbed Li Weiyang hard, almost scratching her arm. The strength made Li Weiyang frown suddenly. Guo Su looked at this scene sadly, unable to say a word.

Mother Song hurriedly came up to coax her: "Madam, let go of the lady first. She won't leave anymore. Isn't it? Miss, you will always be with your wife!" Mother Song winked at Li Weiyang hard. Li Weiyang frowned, but looking at Mrs. Guo's eyes were so persistent that it was terrible. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, I won't leave." Madam Guo's brows relaxed, and Mother Song quickly continued to work hard: "Madam, have you heard it? She won't leave anymore, let go, the lady's arms are caught by you!"

Mrs. Guo glanced blankly, suddenly let go of her hand as if she was scalded, and murmured nervously: "Jia'er, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose - does it hurt?"

Guo Su didn't say a word until Mrs. Guo fainted in Song's mother's arms due to excessive fatigue, that he said dejectedly: "Support the wife to rest first."

Then, he looked at Li Weiyang seriously and said, "Miss, we need to talk."

"Mrs. Guo was fine just now, why did it suddenly-" Li Weiyang was puzzled. Mrs. Guo was gentle, beautiful, generous and noble, and did not look like a lunatic in any case, but her performance could not be called normal at all.

Guo Su sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you. For the past eighteen years, she has been in peace day and night. She often says that she heard her daughter crying in the middle of the night. I accompanied her to travel around every place in Yuexi, searching everywhere, but she didn't find any trace of her daughter. I don't know when, but I found that she was a little abnormal and was fine on weekdays. Once she mentioned Jiaer, she seemed to be very excited, so I never let her go out. I just hope she could gradually forget this, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen today..." In the past, the Duke of Qi was calm in his words and deeds, and he looked at Tianhuang nobles. However, his expression was extremely lonely and desolate. Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Weiyang solemnly, and said, "Miss, please tell me where your Buddhist beads came from."

Li Weiyang gently told everything briefly. She didn't know if Duke Qi would avenge her when he heard Xiaoman's tragic death, but she felt that as Xiaoman's biological parents, they had the right to know this fact.

As the Duke of Qi listened, tears rolled down like pearls in his eyes.

"Xiaoman didn't know the secret of this Buddhist bead before. She gave it to me, just hoping to leave a memory for me before she flew away, but she didn't expect to encounter misfortune." After Li Weiyang said the last sentence, Guo Su seemed to be in a cold state, and her whole body was cramped and shivered into a ball. She could no longer help but cry. Although she knew that her daughter had no news for many years, she was already mentally prepared. At first, Li Weiyang said that Xiaoman was killed in Dadu and was killed under his nose. They searched for it for eighteen years, but they were so late. They couldn't help but feel miserable. The sound of crying moved the internal organs, just like the howl of a wounded wolf in the dark night.

Mother Song suddenly felt a sudden thrust in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sad for her master. Her hands and feet were trembling, and her face turned yellow and she knelt down again.

Li Weiyang looked at him in shock. A powerful prince couldn't help but cry in front of an outsider like her and burst into tears. Such a pain of losing his daughter seemed to have defeated him in one go... After a long time, she couldn't say a word, but she felt a fever in her eyes and a sore heart. Xiaoman, you are still happy after all. Look, Wen Xiaolou was desperate to avenge you for everything, your parents were looking for you everywhere, and they had been searching for you for eighteen years and refused to give up. They knew that your death was so sad.

Maybe she has always been used to seeing Li Xiaoran's father who is ready to betray his daughter anytime and anywhere. Now when she sees the grief of Duke Qi, Li Weiyang feels shocked and absurd, and then she is silent. Li Changle is dead, and Li Xiaoran has never shed a tear for her. If she is Li Weiyang, she is afraid that the man will applaud her...

Li Weiyang slowly said: "Mr., I don't know if you will avenge Xiaoman, but I believe that if she knew that Mrs. Guo was so sad, she would not be at peace in the underworld. Please take good care of her. I should say goodbye." As she said that, she walked out, but Guo Su suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Li Weiyang turned around and said, "I have returned the Buddhist beads to Zhao. Is there anything else?"
To be continued...
