Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At night, Liu Sanniang made dinner. After everyone finished, she said to Madam Wei, “Mother, come with me. I have something to tell you.”
After returning to the house, Liu Sanniang said, “Mother, I’m going to Yuezhou.”
Madam Wei paused for a moment and then said with a sigh, “Go with Chu Yan. Be careful.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. Su Qiong had been in a hurry to leave, so Liu Sanniang naturally couldn’t leave with her. She still had some preparations to make.
The next day, Liu Sanniang went to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar. It was the first time she drew talismans, but she seemed to be familiar with the process like she had practiced drawing talismans thousands of times. When she finished drawing, she saw a golden light flash out. Everyone in her house received a safety talisman that could ward off evil.
In her previous life, she had never encountered anything strange. In this life, she had become a psychic and realized that dangers lurked everywhere in this world.
She attached a portion of her power to the talismans so that if her family was in danger, she could sense it.
After receiving the talisman, Liu Erlang wanted to open it. “It looks really exquisite. Let me open and see what it looks like inside.”
Needless to say, Liu Erlang was beaten up by Madam Wei. “Stop fooling around. Put it away.”
Liu Erlang scratched the back of his head and smiled. “Mother, I was just joking. I wasn’t really going to open it.”
Placing the talisman on his chest, Liu Erlang smiled and said, “It’s amazing. Holding it, I feel like I’m protected by Sanniang.”
Madam Wei only wanted Liu Erlang to shut up.
Chu Yan had already come over. After packing his things, he was ready to leave at any time. Madam Wei looked at him and said, “Yan, be careful.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Yes.”
Liu Dalang looked at Chu Yan and said, “Take care.”
Liu Erlang frowned. “Chu Yan, you…”
Just as he was about to warn Chu Yan not to be rude to his sister, Liu Dalang covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Liu Erlang was really annoyed.
Chu Yan drove the carriage while Liu Sanniang sat in it. Madam Wei sent them to the door and looked at the leaving carriage from afar.
This was the second time Liu Sanniang went to Yuezhou.
——
Yuezhou.
The sound of things falling to the ground could be heard in the huge mansion.
The servants lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Lu Qingqing flipped the table and smashed the furniture in the room. She did not care if these things were valuable or not. She still felt that her anger wasn’t completely vented. She pushed the servant girl away and walked out. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. “Whoever dares to stop me, I’ll make you disappear.”
She felt as if thousands of insects were nibbling away at her heart. She was furious and felt uncomfortable. However, just as she was about to step out of the door, a hand stopped her. “Miss, Madam has instructed that you are not allowed to go out.”
After Su Qiong returned two days ago, she restricted her daughter from stepping out. However, in just two days, Lu Qingqing had already gone crazy. She seemed to have become a completely different person and lost her mind.
“Lu Zhen, how dare you stop me!”
Lu Qingqing’s expression was a little ferocious. Looking at the person in front of her, who was like an iron wall that couldn’t be budged, she gritted her teeth.
Lu Zhen could see anger and disgust in Lu Qingqing’s eyes. He lowered his eyes and said, “I don’t dare to defy Madam’s orders.”
Lu Qingqing gritted her teeth and slapped Lu Zhen’s face. “Get lost, you disloyal dog. I don’t want to see you.”
Lu Qingqing pointed at the door and told him to go away. Her nostrils flared up as she breathed heavily. She was very angry, it seemed as if there was no rationality left in her.
Lu Zhen did not move. He said stiffly, “Madam has ordered me to watch over you. Please forgive me.”
Lu Qingqing was so angry that she nearly broke down. She pounced over and kicked and hit him, almost crying. “You bastard, didn’t you say that you’ll be loyal to me? Didn’t you say that you will only listen to me? Get lost, get lost!”
Lu Qingqing was behaving very strangely. The servants sighed as they peeked at her. Although her temper was usually bad, she had never behaved like a lunatic earlier.
However, in this mansion, it was Madam who had the final say in everything. If she did not agree to this marriage, it would be useless even if the master agreed.
After venting her anger, Lu Qingqing calmed down a little and gritted her teeth. “Alright, I’m not allowed to go out. Where’s my father? I want to see my father. That’s not unreasonable, is it?”
Lu Zhen lowered his head and said, “Madam said that you can’t see anyone.”
Lu Qingqing screamed in anger. She returned to the courtyard and smashed whatever was remaining.
Soon, a servant ran in from outside. Lu Qingqing immediately looked over with a murderous gaze. The servant shivered and said to Lu Zhen, “Madam has instructed us to move away everything fragile from Miss’s courtyard for the time being.”
Lu Qingqing rushed at the servant in fury and the servant immediately turned around, running out.
Lu Zhen grabbed Lu Qingqing and carried her back to her room, ignoring her kicks. He closed the door and locked it. He instructed coldly. “Move away all the fragile items.”
Lu Qingqing was locked in the house and started to cry. “Lu Zhen, you lied to me. You lied to me. You forgot who brought you home. You forgot it all.”
When the servants heard this, they were frightened. Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment before leaving.
When Lu Zhen arrived at the main courtyard, Su Shun and Yu Cui looked at him nervously. Su Qiong was making tea, but anyone could tell that she was agitated.
Lu Zhen said, “Madam, why is Miss behaving like this?”
Su Qiong looked at Lu Zhen. “Lu Zhen, do you know why I let you stay with Qingqing?”
Lu Zhen frowned. “I don’t know.”
Su Qiong put down the teapot and retracted her hand. “I have already considered you as my son-in-law. I’ve never asked you about your opinion. Now, I’m asking you. Do you want to be my son-in-law?”
Lu Zhen did not hesitate and said almost immediately, “I want to.”
Su Qiong continued. “There’s something wrong with Qingqing. I suspect that she has been bewitched. Watch her carefully. It won’t be long before the master I hired comes here.”
Lu Zhen nodded and left. He was a little beggar when he was young. It was only an accident that he met Lu Qingqing and was saved by her.
Lu Qingqing did not have a good temper, but he knew that she was a soft-hearted person. Mr. Lu was a live-in son-in-law because the Su family was a business tycoon. They had two daughters. Their youngest daughter, Lu Ranran, was physically weak and could not take on the family business, so they wanted to find a son-in-law for their daughters.
The couple decided to select their son-in-laws through a martial arts competition.
Lu Zhen knew that he was not worthy of the marriage. The Su family had done him a great favor and nurtured him to learn martial arts. How could he dare to dream of becoming their son-in-law?
However, Su Qiong asked him to participate. He thought that she wanted him to eliminate those bad people. Unexpectedly, he won in the end. However, Lu Qingqing fell in love with another candidate in the competition.
