古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 674: I am back

Yu Dong brought everyone back to the village, though she was in a lot of pain,  she did not show it on her face lest she worried the two mers even more than they were already. Once they returned to the village, Yu Dong has dumped Gu Li at the centre of the village and announced everything in front of the villagers, she did not want Village head Gu to protect Gu Li in case the latter was to woke up and start begging her sister.          

Village head Gu was unlike his sister who completely forgot what their daddy did for her, she still remembered that many times, their daddy has spent his winters in a patched cotton jacket but sewed a new one for Gu Li who was in the army. Gu Li of course could forget everything that her daddy did for her and kill him without feeling the slightest bit regretful but Village head Gu who has seen the struggle of his daddy couldn\'t do that.     

And what was the point of getting angry at their daddy? The one who dragged Gu Li to the army was the imperial family who did not have enough soldiers to fight the neighbouring country and dragged their countrymen to fight for them.      

If she wanted to get upset then she should have gone after the imperial family what was the point of attacking their father?      

Village head Gu\'s grief was simply beyond anyone\'s understanding, in just a day she found out that not only was her sister a murderer, she even found out that the daddy was not killed by a wild animal but instead he was killed by her own sister! She did not even have any heart to stop the families of the mers who were killed as they all started to beat Gu Li who was unconscious. If she was not the village head, she might have done something the same as them as well!     

Village heads Gu was after all absolutely devastated by her sister\'s betrayal and by her own stupidity, she wanted nothing more than to turn her sister to the authorities and let go of her title and position as the village head since she knew that there was no point in fighting to stay in this position any longer, in fact, she did not even have the face to do so anymore.     

The person who was even more shocked and devastated than village head Gu was none other than Pei Yuyan, she looked at her mother who was getting beaten up by the crowd and did not say anything. She wanted to say that Gu Li could not do something like this but the proof was in front of her, not only did Gu Li harm her parents but she has also killed the two of them for absolutely no reason!      

Pei Yuyan turned to look at her sister who was standing and watching the scene in front of her calmly and asked,  " Did you know this?" When Gu Li came to their hut saying that she was going to adopt them, it was her sister who refused adamantly to go with Gu Li.      

Li Li turned to look at Pei Yuyan and shrugged,  " I told you that she was a witch, you..you did not listen to your elder sister and did your own thing. You are a fool, Yuyan." She paused and then added, " You can come back to elder sister now, I … I will take care of you… I always took care of you… elder sister will treat you right and we will be happy."      

Pei Yuyan looked at her sister and couldn\'t help but shed a few tears, she was indeed a fool. Her elder sister …was always watching her from afar and taking care of her and yet she followed after someone like Gu Li and even called her mother for so many years not knowing that the reason she did not have any parents was because of Gu Li.      

She was so embarrassed to face her sister and her parents!      

" Daddy and mother will be upset with me," she said with her eyes turning red, as tears as big as droplets fell from her eyes. Pei Yuyan never thought that there was anything wrong with the way she grew up but now that she thought about it, she realised that Gu Li raised her like she grew up and if not for her finding out the truth about Gu Li, she might have grown up to become a murderer as well. " I can never go back home."      

"H..Home, Ho..home is where we two are together, elder sister …elder sister will forgive you as long as you come back home and act like a good girl," Li Li on the other hand did not say anything harsh instead she looked at Gu Li and softly told her to come back home and follow her to become a good woman.      

Pei Yuyan who was listening to her sister\'s words carefully for the first time felt like she was the one who was a fool instead of her sister whose mind was affected by the fall. She might not be insane in the eyes of others, but she sure lost her mind a few years ago.      

Seeing that her sister was crying Li Li  felt a bit strange, she looked left and right and saw that some of the villagers were hugging each other and softly coaxing their family members., thus she too raised her arms and hugged Pei Yuyan as she muttered, " Its all right, its all right don\'t cry."      

But the more Li Li asked Pei Yuyan not to cry, the more the latter cried as she embraced her sister.      

——-     

Xiao Hua, on the other hand, felt rather overwhelmed as well, he thought that when he returned to Yu Dong\'s house he will be rejected by the husbands of Yu Dong but as soon as he stepped inside the house, Shen Li whose nerves was strangled rushed towards them at once.      

He thought that Shen Li was running to Ye Liu but to his surprise, Shen Li not only hugged Ye Liu but he also hugged him as he released a sigh of relief and said, " Oh thank goodness you two are okay."      

" Brother Li, we are all right," Ye Liu who did not like being hugged let out a muffled grunt but Shen Li did not let go instead he hugged them even tighter and sniffed. " I was so worried Liu, I thought that I made a mistake leaving you behind if something happened to you or Xiao Hua how would have I face myself every day? Oh, thank goodness you two are fine or else I was going to lose my head."      

As he spoke he continued to stroke him and Xiao Hua on the back causing the two to be stifled as they looked at each other helplessly.      

Shen Li was so scared that he did not let go of the two even when Chen Mi and Fang Chi came to see the two of them. Chen Mi actually had to duck and squeeze into their group hug to hug the two of them as he sighed and said, " Though I am not very happy about you joining our family… I am glad that you are fine."      

He looked at Xiao Hua stubbornly but Xiao Hua could see that he was simply teasing him and did not mean anything harsh. In fact, he even saw a teasing and playful glint in Chen Mi\'s eyes as he looked at him.      

The next one to hug them was Fang Chi who was the most gentle one of all, as he wrapped his arms around them calmly and then said, " I am glad that you are safe, Xiao Hua, brother Liu."          

Xiao Hua watched the mers who did not seem bothered by his return at all and were even worried about him and felt his eyes sting a little. This was what he has always wanted—— a family where no one will scheme against him because he might become a threat to them because of his face.      

With his lips curled in a genuine smile, he looked at the four mers and said, " I am back."
