The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anxiu glanced sideways at Li Anqi, silently parting his pale lips.

Li Anqi closed the door and sat quietly beside Li Anxiu.

"The building was about to collapse, but the Chess Lady tried her best to save it. Anxiu... can die in peace now."

As he spoke, Li Anxiu managed a relieved smile, and two tears rolled down his half-open eyes.

Li Anqi composed himself, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Who on earth broke my brother's leg?"

Li Anxiu seemed not to hear, and just stared at Li Anqi.

Li Anqi relaxed his brow and calmly smoothed out the quilt for Li Anxiu.

"...Even if my brother doesn't say it, I can guess. My sister-in-law probably doesn't know about my brother's good intentions towards her."

Li Anxiu smiled weakly and said in a hollow voice.

"You really are my confidant; nothing can be hidden from you."

Li Anqi clenched his fists secretly.

"I will remember the grudge of my brother's broken leg. I will never let my brother suffer this pain for no reason."

Her tone was calm, but a sharp edge was hidden in her resolute gaze.

Li Anxiu stopped smiling and shook his head slightly at Li Anqi.

"When will this cycle of revenge end? Your Majesty saved everyone, and I am already content."

After saying that, Li Anxiu was stunned, and a look of dejection appeared in his eyes.

Li Anqi's eyes suddenly reddened.

She was restrained and composed, her voice tinged with a sob and resentment.

"My elder brother possessed the demeanor of a gentleman and the talent to govern the world! Now he has lost his official career and both legs, becoming nothing more than drifting duckweed!"

Li Anqi frowned deeply and turned away to wipe away the tears that were falling.

"God is so unfair!"

"..."

Li Anxiu looked sorrowful and fell silent, lost in thought.

After a long while, he smiled again and said.

"It's not all bad. Siyun has never abandoned me, but now she seems like a different person. Perhaps I was too harsh before, always remembering her frivolous and rude manner. Now it seems that having her by my side for the rest of my life is a complete life."

"Brother..."

Li Anqi held back his tears, his heart filled with sorrow and helplessness, and finally choked with emotion.

Li Anqi's eyes were slightly red. When he came out of Li Anxiu's room, he found Zuo Siyun sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Anqi came to Zuo Siyun's side and slowly sat down on the stone bench.

Zuo Siyun gazed quietly at the yellowed windows.

"how is he?"

"Although my brother says he doesn't care, I know that the scar in his heart is much deeper and more painful than I can imagine."

“I plan to have Qiuyue take care of Anxiu,” Zuo Siyun said quietly.

Li Anqi stared at her blankly for a while, then turned his gaze back, as if he had thought of something.

"Qiuyue is a good and loyal servant. I feel at ease having her stay by Anxiu's side to serve him."

Zuo Siyun stared intently at the window of Li Anxiu's room, her thoughts seemingly wandering far away.

She continued.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will mention it to Anxiu and suggest that Qiuyue be taken as a concubine."

Li Anqi looked at Zuo Siyun.

Seeing that Zuo Siyun's face was somewhat pale and she was talking blankly as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"..."

Li Anqi was somewhat surprised.

Zuo Siyun's love for Li Anxiu has always been unique and domineering, and she does not allow anyone else to touch it.

Why did things suddenly change?

"If it weren't for Qiuyue, I would have been the one bought and humiliated that day."

Zuo Siyun will never forget the fat man's disgusting eyes and the thin back that stood firmly in front of her.

There seemed to be two lines in her eyes, contradicting each other and painfully tugging and entangled.

Li Anqi roughly understood Zuo Siyun's state of mind at that moment.

"Has your sister-in-law made up her mind?" Li Anqi asked.

Zuo Siyun gave Li Anqi a bitter smile.

"Qiuyue's current suffering is all for me. Even if the Li family falls into decline again, even if she becomes crippled and bedridden like Anxiu, I will still work in the fields and support her for the rest of my life!"

Li Anqi was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.

Only now does she truly know Zuo Siyun.

“Sister-in-law was once a woman of great wealth and honor in the Zuo family, a dragon among men. Now that the Li family has fallen to such a state, it would be reasonable for her to abandon the Li family and return to the Zuo family, and no one would blame her. But not only is she willing to share joys and sorrows with her brother, she is also willing to give up love to repay kindness… It would be a lie for me not to admire her.”

Upon hearing Li Anqi mention the Zuo family, Zuo Siyun's expression changed, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"My father is heartless, but I cannot be unfaithful."

Zuo Siyun's face was completely bloodless.

“Even if Father had sent people to rescue me that day, I would not have abandoned the Jingguo Mansion. I am Anxiu’s wife, Anxiu is my husband, his home is my home, and I will follow him wherever he goes. Although Father never intended to save me in the first place…”

Zuo Siyun lowered her eyes, as if recalling some painful memory, and frowned.

"I am just like the Jingguo Mansion, a pawn in his eyes."

"..."

Li Anqi didn't know how to comfort Zuo Siyun.

She gently placed her hand on the back of Zuo Siyun's hand and sat quietly beside her.

Before leaving Ning'anzhuang, Li Anqi made a special trip to visit Qiuyue.

Even with her parents by her side, Qiuyue still looked completely lost.

Only when Li Anxiu was mentioned would a glimmer of light appear in her eyes.

So Li Anqi gave up the idea of ​​taking Qiuyue back to the Prince Xiao's mansion, and simply told Qiuyue to take good care of herself, without saying anything more.

With Li Anqi's permission, Liu Yun also went to say goodbye to his aunt before leaving.

Only then did Li Anqi realize it.

It turns out that Liuyun's aunt was originally also in the Jingguo Mansion, and like Qiuyue's biological mother, she was a maid in the night watchman's quarters.

Xiao Shunzi and the coachman drove the carriage, taking Li Anqi and several maids from Ning'an Village back to Xiao Wang Mansion.

Throughout the journey, Liu Yun kept observing Shi Ming.

Seeing Shi Ming's tattered clothes and disheveled appearance, Liu Yun couldn't help but show some disgust and wariness.

"Miss."

Liu Yun leaned close to Li Anqi's ear.

"Why would Your Highness take in such a strange person?"
