Although Gu Bailu was glad that Bu Yaolian had lost weight, she knew that it was impossible for a normal person to lose weight so quickly.
Something must’ve happened to her body.
Gu Bailu knew that Bu Yaolian had been implicated this time for no reason.
She could only feed her all the elixirs in the house, in the hope that she would get through this safely.
Mr. Xiao simply said, “She might be unconscious for a long time. As for how long, it depends on her willpower. It’s possible she isn’t waking up because she doesn’t want to face anyone.”
Mr. Xiao said it lightly, but Gu Bailu knew that it wasn’t a small matter.
She asked Ah Luo, “Was there anything wrong with her when you were with her?”
It was only now that Gu Bailu realized that she knew too little about Bu Yaolian. She had practically never taken the initiative to care for her, nor did she know about her past.
She only knew that Bu Yaolian had traveled far and wide with her grandfather, and that she joined Cloud Mirror Academy after receiving the notice.
She knew that she wanted spiritual power to boost her family and bring honor to it so that it was no longer just a lowly merchant family in the eyes of other people.
But Gu Bailu didn’t know her at all.
Gu Bailu didn’t have a good life herself, so she really wasn’t in the mood to care about other people. Qian’er could be said to be the first outsider she cared about in this world.
That was because Qian’er was so pretty that people felt compelled to care for her.
Perhaps because Bu Yaolian had always been optimistic and blindly admired Gu Bailu, she had neglected her.
That was how cruel the human world was. Nobody cared about mediocre people.
Like Bu Yaolian.
Ah Luo tilted her head and thought for a moment. “No, but Sister Fatty wrote a letter a couple of days ago. She also put a seal on it.”
“Do you know what it was about? Who did she write to?”
Gu Bailu knew that something was wrong.
If it was a letter to her family, she certainly wouldn’t have sealed it. As expected, Bu Yaolian had something on her mind.
“I’m not sure.”
Of course Ah Luo wouldn’t pay attention to something like this. If Bu Yaolian hadn’t asked Ah Luo to help send out the letter, Ah Luo wouldn’t have known that she was sending it.
In Ah Luo’s heart, she only cared about her lady.
Gu Bailu felt terrible. Feeling sorry toward Bu Yaolian, she could only invite her family over.
Bu Yaolian’s parents were robbed and killed when she was very young, and Bu Yaolian had been raised by her grandparents.
Her grandfather was a shrewd businessman, but he was very fat.
Bu Yaolian definitely got her physique from her grandfather.
Gu Bailu told Bu Yaolian’s grandfather, Bu Ansheng, about her condition. He looked worried, but didn’t say anything.
Gu Bailu felt even more uneasy. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let her do this. I was thinking about keeping the good things in our circle, but I ended up hurting her instead.”
“Princess Zi, you’ve shown Lian’er favor. Please don’t blame yourself. She’ll get through this,” said Bu Ansheng firmly.
“Is there anything or anyone that she’s paying attention to?”
Bu Ansheng thought for a moment. “There is; she wants to upgrade her spiritual power so that our family can flourish. It’s a great blow to her now that she’s been expelled from Cloud Mirror Academy. As for a person, there’s someone she has always liked, but he’s out of our league.”
