Liguang shouted directly:
"Mother! Are you back?"
Liguang said, breaking away from Fan Li's hand and running directly over. However, when she got in front of Gong Eryue, she stopped again, and her open hands dropped down. She recognized that the woman in front of her was not her biological mother.
Gong Eryue saw the bright light shining through her skin, which was as cute as a porcelain doll. She subconsciously pinned the sword behind her, leaned down, and smiled sweetly.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
Liguang originally thought she was her mother, but now she realized she wasn't, so she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fan Li caught up at this time and took Liguang's little hand again.
Li Ran also came over at this time, took Liguang's other hand, and explained:
"Guang'er, she is not Madam..."
When the servants heard this, they looked at each other. They all thought it was similar, but now they actually said it was not the case, and stood up amidst a burst of curious chatter.
After hearing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help but raise her head and sternly questioned the people around her:
"What are you talking about, you guys?"
When Li Ran heard this, he just waved his hand, and after rejecting all the servants, he handed her over and apologized:
"I'm sorry, it's just because you and my wife look too similar, girl, that's why this misunderstanding happened. I hope you won't blame me."
After hearing this, Gong Eryue curled her lips and said:
"It's inexplicable. How can there be such similar people in the world? I think you are all sick, so you are wrong!?"
In fact, Gong Eryue's words were not very convincing. After all, it wasn't just one or two people who mistook her, but almost everyone.
Chu Dang, on the other hand, still had his eyes widened and said stubbornly:
"Madam, you are sick! Not only has your temperament changed drastically, but you have also forgotten what happened before. This is definitely not an admission of mistake by us! Sir, she is the madam! How could we admit our mistake?"
Chu Dang is a straight-tempered person, and he only sees things superficially. In his opinion, Gong Eryue is a sacrificial pleasure, and his age is not considered at all.
The servants saw the difference after a short period of astonishment, but Chu Dang always recognized that she was the madam.
Gong Eryue shook her head, but before she could reply, she only heard Yan Yan say from the side:
"Mr. Ziming, this girl should stay here. If she stays in the school, I'm afraid she will only disturb other people's studies..."
Li Ran waved his hand and said:
"Ziyou, it's better not to mention this matter again. It's not rude. As a role model for the world's scholars, Li must not go beyond the rules!"
Although Gong Eryue didn't know the situation, she could understand their "intentions" after all.
She couldn't help but snorted again:
"Hmph! What do you think of this girl? Do you want to send me anywhere? This girl can't stand your behavior!"
After Gong Eryue finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Suddenly, she felt someone was tugging at the hem of her skirt. When she looked back and looked down, she found that it was the little girl Liguang running over, looking at her eagerly, her eyes full of nostalgia.
Gong Eryue was originally angry, but when she saw how cute this little girl was, she felt a little reluctant to let go. She knelt down and whispered:
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"Liguang!"
Gong Eryue smiled and said:
"You're so good, but my sister is leaving now. It's very close to here anyway. I'll come and play with you later."
Only then did Li Guang let go. Gong Eryue glanced at Li Ran and left straight away. Chu Dang chased after him for a few steps:
"Sir! This is Madam! How could you let her leave like this?"
Li Ran shook his head and said:
"She is not Madam...Chu Dang, can you really not see the age difference?"
Chu Tang thought about it for a while, scratched his head, and said blankly:
"If this isn't Madam, could it be that she has seen a ghost?"
Hearing this, Fan Li suddenly scolded:
"Chu Dang, don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Dang still couldn't react for the moment.
Yan You was afraid that Gong Eryue would get into trouble again, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Li Ran looked at Gong Eryue's back and felt a sense of reluctance in his heart for a moment.
Li Guang asked for a hug at this time, and Li Ran picked her up and heard Li Guang say:
"Father, she... really looks like my mother, but it's a pity that she is not..."
Li Ran let out a long sigh and comforted his daughter before entering the door. Chu Dang was still standing there. He really couldn't understand why the lord refused to recognize her even though his wife was clearly there.
And Li Ran was also very complicated about this matter. On the one hand, he knew that Gong Eryue was not Ji Le, but on the other hand, they were so similar to each other that even if they compared Li Guang, they were just like sisters.
This time, Li Ran's thoughts about Ji Le were inevitably aroused again, and his whole mood became gloomy again.
In the following days, Gong Eryue did not come to Li Ran's mansion again.
…
After a period of time passed like this, Sun Wu suddenly came to report that there was news from the Qin State!
Li Ran was playing the piano with Li Guang at the moment. When he heard the news, he got up immediately. He didn't have time to tidy up his clothes and hurried out to greet him. Sun Wu had already invited the Qin man to wait in the living room.
When Li Ran saw the Qin man, he found that he didn't know him, nor were they the two disciples of Confucius. He only saw him holding a long box in both hands and standing respectfully.
Li Ran said quickly:
"Please sit down."
Then, Li Ran gave Sun Wu a signal. Sun Wu took what was in his hand.
The man faced Sun Wu and shook his head gently.
"This is what my master ordered his disciples to hand over to Mr. Ziming before he died."
Li Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step forward, came to the man, and said in a trembling voice:
"Master, who is...?"
"The Qin people healed..."
Li Ran's brain roared, his body swayed and he almost fell. Thanks to Sun Wu's quick eyesight and quick hands, he caught him and prevented him from falling.
Li Ran's mind was blank. After thinking for a long time, he was still confused.
"Mr. Yihe...he passed away?"
The man knelt down and choked:
"Exactly, I am the disciple of Mr. Yi He. Before my master passed away, I asked my disciples to come to the State of Lu to pay a visit to my master. My master...actually passed away three months ago..."
"What!……"
Li Ran couldn't help but be shocked. Ji Le had been gone for more than four months, but Yi He had passed away two months ago.
But now the person in front of him was actually carrying a long box, which made Li Ran feel uneasy and afraid.
Seeing that Li Ran was speechless, Sun Wu could only ask from the side:
"I wonder how my wife is doing?"
Just listen to the doctor's disciple reply:
"In this long box are the clothes and crowns of your honorable lady... Not long after she went to Qin, she... also passed away..."
When Li Ran heard this, he felt like he was struck by thunder. He couldn't believe his ears and couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice:
"You...what did you say?"
Sun Wu heard it clearly. He was worried that Li Ran couldn't bear the bad news, so he hurriedly helped Li Ran sit down. Li Ran also felt that his legs were weak. He still refused to give up and asked again:
"You...what did you just say?"
At this moment, Li Ran's voice had become slightly muted.
