If Ye You had killed Mei Ji, Li Li could have remained by Jiu Ge's side as his most loyal and devoted servant, and their relationship would not have changed. Their lives would have continued peacefully as they were, which would have been fine.
But now, with Ye You's side making concessions, Li Li knew she could only rely on herself.
So, she used the poisoned needle she picked up from Qin Sisi to kill Mei Ji. Before this, she had already prepared herself to die as penance.
He had saved her life, while she repaid him with vengeance for her murdered mother. What face did she have left to remain by his side?
If she could never see him again in this lifetime, what meaning was there in living?
She might as well end it all and reunite with her father and mother in the underworld.
Li Li spoke briefly, but everyone understood her. Her father and mother had both been killed by Mei Ji, and she had stayed inside the Chief Mansion for years, constantly scheming for revenge.
