Liang Ruoyu smiled and said, "Look at what elder sister said. I was ignorant before and was disrespectful to elder sister. Now we are all grown up, so don't take the past things to heart. I heard from mother that you are going to marry into the Marquis' Mansion soon, which is really a happy event."
After saying that, he pulled Ali inside without further ado.
As soon as Ali turned around, Han was about to grab Mother Li's arm, but Mother Li lowered her head, shrank her body, and looked at Ali's back with some horror.
Ali seemed to know what was going on and turned around to glance at her indifferently. Mother Li quickly lowered her head and followed in with small steps.
Han looked at Mother Li in astonishment. How could she be so obedient? It seemed that she had been beaten a lot in Qingyuan and was afraid of it!
Liang Ruoyu took A-li and sat down, smiling and saying, "I haven't seen you for five years. Big sister is still the same as before. Your appearance hasn't changed at all. You are still so beautiful."
Ali said calmly: "You are only nineteen, right? You are old!"
"Yes, I'm old," Liang Ruoyu sighed, but she couldn't hide the pride on her face, "In four years, I gave birth to three children. How can I not be old?"
Her smile gradually widened. "But, elder sister's appearance has not changed. It's really surprising. After more than ten cuts on her face, there is no trace of scar left. It's really surprising."
A hint of coldness flashed in Ali's eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing, it's just that my sister heard from the guards in the Marquis' Mansion that there is a kind of disguise technique that can make a person look exactly the same as before. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a fake face."
Ali looked at the fake smile on her face and said, "Really? Do you think I am putting on a fake face?"
"It doesn't look like that. I heard from the guards that fake faces are very stiff, without any expression. But I can clearly see the hatred in the elder sister's face towards me."
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin and looked at Ali, as if she wanted to find some clues from her face.
Ali sneered, "I am indeed wearing a mask, do you want to see it?"
Liang Ruoyu asked, "Are you willing to show it to me?"
A Li's lips slowly curled up into a cold smile, "Of course I am willing, why not? This is your achievement, how can I not let you enjoy the joy of success? And didn't you come here today to tear off my mask? It would be best if you could tear it off in front of so many guests. After seeing my true face, will the Marquis' Mansion still propose marriage? Impossible, right?"
Liang Ruoyu chuckled, "Big sister, you really know what I'm thinking. You didn't die five years ago, so how can I let you turn over today? And, do you know why you went to the wooden house five years ago?"
"Why?" Ali asked patiently.
"Because," Liang Ruoyu's eyes turned and she raised a sly smile, "five years ago you wanted to elope with someone, but someone took away your property, injured you, and burned you, but you were lucky enough to be rescued."
Aliru suddenly realized, "So, I ran away from my marriage and eloped five years ago, so I deserved to die? The Marquis' Mansion will never marry me, but it's just empty talk, who would believe it?"
"Of course there are witnesses. Do you remember Ju'er who served you back then?" Liang Ruoyu asked leisurely.
"Oh, Ju'er..." Ali tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Ju'er is quite loyal to me, will she help you?"
"In this world, is there anyone who cannot be moved by money?" Liang Ruoyu sneered, "Big sister, don't you even know this trick? Then you are really not suitable to marry into the Marquis' Mansion."
"Since you have arranged everything, why are you telling me now? Just expose it at the wedding banquet." Ali said.
"Of course I'll reveal it at the wedding banquet, but I'm going to tell my elder sister first so that my younger sister can see her anxious and angry expression."
She looked at A Li smugly. Ju'er's testimony was not trustworthy enough, but it was enough to make someone suspicious. Once the rumor got out, who would care whether it was true or not? However, the Marquis's Mansion would not propose marriage again regardless of whether it was true or not.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there's nothing to be anxious about." Ali said calmly.
Liang Ruoyu sneered, "Sister, stop pretending. Marrying into the Marquis's Mansion is your chance to turn things around. How can you not be anxious? You can fool others, but not me. You really want to kill me now, right?"
Ali said expressionlessly: "You are right, I do want to kill you."
"It's mutual!" Liang Ruoyu said, then slowly stood up and sneered at her, "Big sister, keep pretending, but the next few hours will be really tormenting for you."
Ali just sneered to himself, with no sign of anxiety on his face at all.
Liang Ruoyu looked at her and smiled charmingly, "Sister, why don't you beg me? I really want to hear you beg for mercy. This has always been my regret. Back then, no matter how I tortured you, you never begged for mercy. Later, mother said you were dead. I was so sorry."
"Please?" Ali raised his hands and looked at her, "Please, will you let me go?"
Liang Ruoyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then laughed like a bell, "No, but I want to hear it. Maybe I'm in a good mood, so I can really let you go for the time being."
"Isn't that just nonsense?" Ali snorted.
Han came in and snorted, "You don't plan to let us go, so why should we let you go? You came back just for revenge."
Ali stared at her, "You are right, I came back for revenge."
"Then how do you want to take revenge? Can you take revenge by bringing Su Qing back? Su Qing is just a general. Does he dare to kill us?" Liang Ruoyu laughed.
"She dreams of marrying into a marquis's mansion. After that, your father will listen to her. Then, whatever she says will be the final word." Han said coldly.
"Let's talk about it after you can marry into the Marquis's Mansion!" Liang Ruyu said.
Ali looked at Mother Li and said, "You look smart, why did you follow such a stupid person?"
Mother Li lowered her head and did not dare to answer.
Liang Ruoyu said, "Stupid? Five years ago, you were defeated by such a stupid person. Five years later, you will be defeated again."
"Wait and see, it's only a few hours." Ali stretched lazily, "You guys go, I have to close the door in a hurry."
Liang Ruoyu was really disappointed, and she expressed her disappointment directly, "Over the past five years, my elder sister has been very patient, and she didn't show any anxiety or fear, which makes my younger sister very disappointed."
How confident does one have to be to say such a thing? Ali looked at her. Five years ago, he always suffered at the hands of the mother and daughter. No wonder they looked down on him, and no wonder they now thought they could kill her with just a flick of their fingers.
After the mother and daughter left, Ali sat on a chair and looked at Mother Li, who had her head drooped, and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to say later?"
Mother Li cried, "Miss, if I tell you, Madam and the Second Miss will never let me go."
"If you tell them, what else will they have to not let you go?" Ali sneered, "But, think about it yourself. If you don't tell me, I can kill you at most. Killing the mother and daughter will avenge me after all."
A glimmer of hope rose in Mama Li's eyes. "If I tell you, will the young lady spare my life?"
Ali looked at her and smiled, "It depends on my mood."
