Li Qingyu was vexed for a moment. Then, he suddenly remembered that he… had said those criticisms before?
His expression changed, and he looked a little conflicted.
Had he been too indulgent in the past two years?
When Elder Li heard his grandson address Master Mo, he was elated. “Child, you’ve finally come to your senses!”
Li Qingyu could not help but feel a little guilty, “I’ve made Grandfather worried. Previously… There were some things that I had been suppressing in my heart and had a hard time with myself. I don’t know what happened today, but I suddenly became enlightened as if I’ve seen it through. In the future… I won’t let you worry anymore.”
He remembered that over the past year, he had always lost his temper involuntarily. He did not have much patience with his elders either.
He even thought of running away from home.
He thought that if he left the Li Residence, he would be able to forget what had happened in the past. However, now that he thought about it, he thought he was being foolish.
Xie Qiao saw his expression and was curious. “Young Master Li, what do you mean by the things that you said?”
Li Qingyu’s expression froze.
The old master looked at him in shock. “Do you… like that dancing lady…?”
Li Qingyu’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of that lady.
“Grandfather, some things are in the past. I will definitely listen to you in the future,” Li Qingyu did not say it directly.
More than a year ago, he first saw Yue Li practicing dancing under the trees. That lady was very beautiful and he was indeed beginning to fall for her.
At that time, he was not even 16. He was too young. Moreover, he knew that although his family had declined a little, as a grandson, he could not have anything to do with a dancing lady.
Therefore, he only had his admiration in his heart.
He thought that when Yue Li left, he would ask the steward to reward her with more silver. If she could redeem herself and become an ordinary citizen from then on, it would be the best help for her.
However, he did not expect that before Yue Li could leave, she would die in the Li Residence.
He knew that Yue Li had a secret liking for him.
That was why she would rather commit suicide than living unwillingly.
However, when he learned of Yue Li’s death, he was filled with only fear. He was afraid that his grandfather would find out that Yue Li liked him. He was afraid that the Li family would have a bad reputation, so he pretended not to care about her death.
He had been taught by his grandfather since he was young. He knew that he was responsible for the prosperity of the family. Therefore, even though he was sad for Yue Li, he could not help but have these selfish thoughts.
The lady who made him fall in love for the first time had died, and he did not even have the courage to pay her respects.
This little bit of guilt suppressed him, making him unable to breathe.
Not long after Yue Li left, he began to dream.
He dreamed of pear blossoms all over the trees, and he dreamed of Yue Li dancing.
The guilt in his heart grew. It grew so heavy that he did not dare to admit that the lady in his dream was Yue Li. When he woke up, he began to paint the pear blossom immortal.
He did not know if it was because he was under too much pressure. At first, he could still remember Yue Li, but later, he only had the pear blossom immortal in his heart.
A few days ago, he even thought of going to look for the immortal…
Now that he thought about it, he was really obsessed. Yue Li had already passed away for close to two years. In fact, he only had a little bit of affection for her. Why could he not figure it out? Why was he even complaining to everyone in the family over that matter?
Li Qingyu scratched his head.
“Master Mo, I was being rude to you before… I’m really sorry,” Li Qingyu said to Xie Qiao.
“You’re just a child. There will always be times when you rebel. At this stage, you really won’t listen to words that make sense,” Xie Qiao said with a look of understanding. After she finished speaking, she even glanced at the Crown Prince with hidden meaning underlying..
