Now that he knew that Su Qiong wanted him to be her son-in-law, Lu Zhen felt like he was dreaming.

Was there really something wrong with Lu Qingqing?

In the room, Lu Qingqing was smashing things again. All the fragile items in the courtyard had been moved out and the sky was getting dark. The servants brought food and did not dare to go in.

Lu Zhen said calmly, “Give me the food. You can leave.”

Lu Zhen opened the door and placed the food on the table. Lu Qingqing was lying on the bed. She was tired and her eyes were red from crying. “Lu Zhen, can you let me out?”

He avoided the question. “Miss, eat something first. Madam said that she will give you freedom in half a month at most.”

Lu Qingqing howled. “No, I can’t wait for even a day.”

Lu Zhen’s expression remained unchanged. “Eat first.”

Lu Qingqing waved her hand. “No, get out. You ingrate!”

He looked away and retreated.

The sky darkened completely. After washing up, Su Qiong sat on the edge of the bed, not sleepy at all. She kept muttering Lu Qingqing’s name.

Outside, the servant girl stopped Lu Shiming. “Master, Madam said that she doesn’t want to see you.”

Lu Shiming gritted his teeth. “What is she doing? I’m her husband!”

The servant girl lowered her head. “Master, don’t make things difficult for me.”

Lu Shiming snorted. “Fine. I won’t see her either.”

With that, he left.

When Su Qiong heard him storm out, she was not sad. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her marriage was decided by her parents as well. In the beginning, she liked Lu Shiming and wanted to marry him.

However, after interacting with him, she knew that this marriage wouldn’t work. Because she held the Su family’s business tightly in her hands, Lu Shiming thought that she looked down on him and didn’t believe that he was capable of running a business. In that regard, they were birds of the same feather.

It was a pity that she couldn’t give birth to a son. Otherwise, Lu Qingqing wouldn’t have had to find a husband in a hurry and nothing would happen.

After returning from Yong County, she was greatly comforted by Liu Sanniang’s words, but she was still worried. She didn’t want her daughter to marry someone she didn’t know at all.

Lu Zhen had been by Lu Qingqing’s side for ten years as a guard. She thought that there would be no obstruction in taking him in as her son-in-law, but who knew that Qin Lin would suddenly come out of nowhere.

It was late at night, and Su Qiong finally fell asleep after tossing and turning.

On the tenth of October.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan arrived at Shanglin County in Yuezhou. Shanglin was the richest county around Yuezhou.

The address Su Qiong left for Liu Sanniang was the Lu Mansion on Shanglin Street. It didn’t take long for them to find the place as it was huge and located in a conspicuous spot.

While Liu Sanniang ate the crispy and sweet biscuits, the carriage stopped. Chu Yan lifted the curtain and saw Liu Sanniang smacking her lips. He asked her with a faint smile. “Is it delicious?”

Liu Sanniang nodded honestly.

Chu Yan smiled. “It seems that the rabbit likes biscuits.”

Liu Sanniang was stunned. Rabbit? What rabbit? She suddenly remembered that day when Chu Yan was buying flour. She glared at him. It turned out that the rabbit Chu Yan was talking about was her!

Chu Yan said, “We’re at the Lu Mansion. Come down.”

Liu Sanniang wiped her hands and got down. Above the door, there was an enormous plate that had ‘Lu Mansion’ written in golden color.

The two stone lions in front of the door were majestic and fierce-looking.

Liu Sanniang went forward and gently knocked on the door.

Soon, the servant opened the door. He looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan and asked. “May I know who you’re looking for?”

Liu Sanniang took out a letter and handed it over.

The servant opened it and smiled. “Oh, you are Miss Liu. Madam has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Thank you.”

Liu Sanniang was very polite. The servant smiled back and immediately had a good impression of her. People who visited the Lu mansion usually looked down upon the servants. He was very happy that he was respected by Liu Sanniang. He invited her in and personally brought her to the main courtyard.

Chu Yan followed behind Liu Sanniang.

The servant couldn’t help but sneak a look at Chu Yan and thought to himself. ‘This must be the person who crippled Su Yan! He looks really fierce.’

After entering the main courtyard, the servant saw Su Yan and said, “Miss Liu is here.”

Su Shun was cleaning the courtyard when he heard that. He quickly put down the broom in his hand and turned around. When he saw Chu Yan, he felt an acute pain in his arm. Biting the bullet, he went up to greet them. “Miss Liu, you’re finally here.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Hello.”

Su Shun grinned in embarrassment. Liu Sanniang was beautiful and he was not married. Looking at a beautiful girl, his heart skipped a beat.

He smiled. “Miss Liu, please.”

After the servant led the two of them in, he left.

As Su Shun walked, he stole a glance at Liu Sanniang. Suddenly, he felt a chill running down his spine and could not help but turn around. He met Chu Yan’s cold eyes and was frightened.

From that point on, he did not dare to look at Liu Sanniang again.

When Su Qiong heard that Liu Sanniang was here, she was delighted and went to the main hall to wait for her. When Liu Sanniang stepped in, she smiled at her. “Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang nodded slightly. “Hello, Madam.”

Su Qiong smiled and asked the servants to serve tea. Then, she instructed the servant girl to have Lu Qingqing come over.

Su Qiong couldn’t wait a moment longer.

“Mother, since you have a guest, I won’t disturb you any more. I’ll take my leave first and come back to report on my study tomorrow.”

Outside the courtyard, a childish voice was heard.

Su Qiong said calmly, “Leave.”

After Su Qiong finished speaking, the childish voice was heard again. “Yes, Mother, take care of yourself. Bye.”

Su Qiong rubbed her eyes and instructed. “Tell him not to come over for the time being.”

The servant girl nodded. “Yes, Madam.”

Liu Sanniang was puzzled. “Madam, don’t worry. Both your son and daughter will be very successful.”

Su Qiong looked at Liu Sanniang. This was the second time Liu Sanniang made the same mistake.

Su Qiong couldn’t help but respond. “Miss Liu, I don’t have a son.”

If she had a son, she wouldn’t be so worried now.

Liu Sanniang frowned. “How can that be? Madam, after reading your face, I could see that you have a son and a daughter.”

She might not be able to read faces very skillfully, but she couldn’t be that wrong. What hadn’t happened could be changed, but what had already happened… couldn’t.
