Chapter 276: Use the remaining amount to exchange for wine
"Xiaohua, why do I feel like I'm always living along someone else's path?" Gongsun Zimian suddenly asked.
"Miss Zimian, you think too much. Everyone is unique. How could you possibly live following someone else's path? The head of the family does this for your own good." The maid immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
In fact, all the servants who have stayed in the Gongsun family for a long time feel this way.
Gongsun Zimian is living according to Yan Li's life trajectory.
But they dare not speak nonsense.
"Really?" Gongsun Zimian's face was full of suspicion.
"Of course it's true, Miss Zirou, don't think too much and take a rest quickly." The maid smiled and picked up Gongsun Zimian and walked towards her room.
If the head of the family knew that Miss Zimian was still awake at the appointed time, he would be in trouble.
……
Yan Li naturally didn't know what happened in the Gongsun family.
After she returned to the Northern Palace, she went straight to rest.
The next day.
The housekeeper came to report that Gongsun Zimian from the Gongsun family wanted to see Yan Li.
"That little girl?" Yan Li was startled when she heard that Gongsun Zimian was looking for her.
"Yes, she said she had something to ask you." The housekeeper was speechless.
Hasn't our princess already completely cut off ties with the Gongsun family? Why are there still people from the Gongsun family coming?
The key point is that the person found was a five-year-old girl.
Did Gongsun Hong change his strategy and replace his princess with a child of similar age to get close to her in order to repair the relationship?
"Let her in. I want to see what she wants to do." Yan Li ordered.
The butler responded and went down.
Not long after, Gongsun Zimian was brought in.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Yan Li.
"Gongsun Zimian greets the princess." Although Gongsun Zimian was young, he still performed a standard salute.
"Are you looking for me?" Yan Li looked at her.
"Yes, I have something to ask you." Gongsun Zimian nodded.
"What's the matter?" Yan Li looked at her curiously.
"Yesterday I noticed that my grandfather had a very strange expression when he saw you. Do you know each other?" Gongsun Zimian looked at Yan Li.
"You don't know?" Yan Li was very surprised when she heard that.
"I don't know." Gongsun Zimian shook his head.
"Then do you know the waste in the General's Mansion?" Yan Li looked at Gongsun Zimian teasingly.
"I know. She is just like me and cannot practice. My grandfather told me so." Gongsun Zimian nodded.
"Then do you know who she is?" Yan Li asked again.
"Grandpa said that because she did something wrong, she will never come back." Gongsun Zimian replied.
Yan Li was startled when she heard this!
She never expected that one day Gongsun Hong would admit his mistake!
"What does this matter have to do with you?" Gongsun Zimian looked at Yan Li in confusion.
After all, Yan Li is very powerful now, and there is no way she can associate her with the former good-for-nothing in the General's Mansion.
Besides, Gongsun Hong told her that Yan Li would never come back, so Gongsun Zimian naturally understood that Yan Li had died.
"Because I am her, the waste that was once discarded by the general's mansion." Yan Li did not shy away from talking about the fact that she was once a waste.
"Ah? How is it possible? How is this possible?" Gongsun Zimian exclaimed when he heard this.
"How is it impossible? It's just that I have completely drawn a line between myself and the Gongsun family." Yan Li said.
"I didn't expect that the person in the General's Mansion who was unable to practice was actually you!" Gongsun Zimian's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Don't be surprised, this is the fact." Yan Li nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing Gongsun Zimian's incredulous look, Yan Li continued to ask.
"How did you suddenly become able to practice?" Gongsun Zimian suddenly raised her head and looked at Yan Li.
Since she can do it, I can do it myself.
"As for me, I died once." Yan Li was telling the truth.
But Gongsun Zimian didn't believe it at all. She thought Yan Li was fooling her.
"Miss Yan, I am asking for your advice very seriously." Gongsun Zimian looked at Yan Li.
"Miss Gongsun, I am answering very seriously. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the Gongsun family and ask if I was beaten to death by Gongsun Zirou." Yan Li spread his hands.
Gongsun Zimian fell silent after hearing this!
Naturally, I have heard about this matter.
"Now that things have been clarified, I'll take my leave." Gongsun Zimian felt that there was no point in staying any longer.
"Miss Gongsun, please." Yan Li made a gesture of invitation.
"By the way, when Miss Yan was at the Gongsun family, when did she usually rest?" Gongsun Zimian suddenly turned her head and looked at Yan Li.
"When it was just getting dark." Yan Li said.
When Gongsun Zimian heard this, a strange look flashed across his face and he turned and left.
Of course, Yan Li was talking about the original owner's habits, not her own.
The original owner used to live on a one-night stand, struggling to get enough food to survive almost the entire day, so he would feel sleepy and go to bed as soon as it got dark every day.
"Miss, why did you answer so many questions for her?" After Gongsun Zimian left, Chun Tao looked at Yan Li in confusion.
"Didn't you notice? She is also a waste. Gongsun Hong used to hate waste the most, but now he dotes on her so much. Don't you find it strange?" Yan Li looked at Chun Tao.
"There must be a conspiracy, Miss. Do you think she is afraid that Gongsun Yue won't be able to find her daughter when she comes back, so she just raises a useless person to fool her?" Chuntao's imagination burst out.
"Impossible. The news of me being kicked out of the general's mansion was a big deal. No one except a kid like Gongsun Zimian could have been kept in the dark by him." Yan Li shook her head.
"That's true." Chuntao nodded.
"Don't worry about him for now, Chuntao, I want to eat noodles." Yan Li raised his head and looked at Chuntao.
"Puchi... I didn't expect that the young lady still likes the noodles cooked by Chuntao after being away for three years. I'll go cook it right away." After Chuntao said this, she hurried to cook noodles.
Looking at Chuntao's departing back, Yan Li smiled.
"Lier, grandpa wants to discuss something with you." Old King Bei walked in.
"Grandpa, just tell me what's going on." Yan Li looked at the old King of the North with amusement.
"An old friend of mine needs a beauty pill. I wonder if you have it, Li'er?" Old King Bei said a little embarrassedly.
"Here." Yan Li threw a bottle to him upon hearing that.
There are more than a hundred pills in this bottle. I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just beauty pills. That's not a big deal.
"Lier is so nice." Old King Bei happily took the bottle of medicine, and when he opened it, he was stunned!
"This... is so much." The Old King of the North raised his head and looked at Yan Li.
"Yes, grandpa, if you can't use it up, you can exchange it for wine." Yan Li looked at him with a smile.
Old Northern King: ...
The wine I could get in exchange for just one beauty pill would be enough for me to be drunk for several lifetimes!
