Liu Sanniang could feel that as Lu Ranran screamed, her strength became stronger and stronger.
Without hesitation, Liu Sanniang condensed her power into an axe and slashed down fiercely, breaking Lu Ranran’s power. The girl screamed, and all her resistance gradually became weak.
Liu Sanniang was not in a good state either. She felt that her internal organs were cracking like broken porcelain. Blood rose to her throat, but she pushed it back down.
With Lu Ranran’s mental defense gone, Liu Sanniang began to envelop her power around Lu Ranran like a dark cloud, crushing down on her.
She carefully sensed Lu Ranran’s memories and absorbed her power.
Liu Sanniang was like a ferocious beast, devouring everything. Lu Ranran no longer had the strength to resist. She lay on the ground feebly, and the sinister expression on her face turned to fear.
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “I saw that the courtyard was being renovated. Half of the abandoned well was filled in and a wall was built up around it.”
Su Qiong’s voice was almost trembling. “I’ve seen almost all the places that were renovated. There’s no abandoned well!”
Su Qiong felt like she was driven to the limit and was about to break at any moment.
Liu Sanniang paused for a moment before saying. “The purple rose seeds have sprouted and gradually covered the wall. They are blooming everywhere. Sitting on the swing, the girl’s figure is like a dancing butterfly.”
“It’s Second Miss’s private garden. She got it renovated last year. There’s a wall inside. Second Miss personally planted the flowers and took care of them herself. There’s a wall covered with flowers as well as a swing inside. Second Miss doesn’t allow anyone to approach that place.”
A servant girl exclaimed.
Su Qiong cried out. “Quick, save Lu Run.”
The servants hurriedly rushed to the private garden. Normally, it was a place that was forbidden for everyone to enter.
Liu Sanniang let go of Lu Ranran’s hand. Lu Ranran fell weakly into the muds, as if all her strength had been drained.
Liu Sanniang spat out the blood in her mouth. After absorbing Lu Ranran’s power, her injured internal organs were repaired.
Liu Sanniang walked to Su Qiong’s side and held her hand, injecting a force into her body. Su Qiong slowly opened her eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang. She said weakly, “Miss Liu, thank you.”
Tears fell from Su Qiong’s eyes.
Liu Sanniang helped her up. “Let’s go and find your son.”
This private garden was as beautiful as a dreamland. When one entered, they would smell a fragrance. The flowers bloomed all year round here.
The servants looked at the garden and did not know where the well was. They were all servants and did not dare to make a mess here.
Liu Sanniang helped Su Qiong in. Su Qiong said, “Find Lu Run at all costs.”
She had built a paradise for Lu Ranran, but Lu Ranran used this paradise as her son’s grave.
She loved Lu Ranran to the core, but Lu Ranran already knew the truth and was keeping it from her. She deceived everyone under that disguise of fragility.
After receiving the instructions, the servants naturally had no qualms. The paradise soon turned unrecognizable.
“Here, I found Fourth Young Master.”
A servant shouted.
Everyone immediately surrounded the well. The well was only a foot wide and was covered by a lid. It was surrounded by blooming flowers, so no one would have thought that there was an abandoned well hidden here.
After removing the lid, they saw Lu Run, who lay there submerged in water.
The servants quickly pulled Lu Run out.
He struggled to open his eyes. He looked at Su Qiong and his lips curled up slightly.
Su Qiong felt a lump in her throat and choked. “Lu Run.”
At this moment, all the suffering was over.
Seeing that Lu Run was alive, all the concubines heaved a sigh of relief.
No one noticed a figure stagger out of the crowd. She ran out, followed by someone.
This figure was Lu Qingqing. She had been back for a long time while Concubine Yun was still alive. However, at that time, everyone’s attention was not on Concubine Yun, and she did not make a fuss, so no one noticed her.
Witnessing this process was undoubtedly a huge blow to Lu Qingqing.
Her mind was in a mess. She ran out.
Lu Zhen followed beside her closely. He did not comfort her or even say anything. He only kept Lu Qingqing company silently, like a shadow.
The matter was solved and the rain stopped. People felt tired and didn’t feel hungry even though they hadn’t eaten anything for hours.
Their worries about the future made them temporarily forget about their hunger.
It was good that Su Qiong had found her son, but no one else was happy. Their future was still shrouded in uncertainty.
Lu Shiming and Lu Ranran were taken to the government office by Zhu Changyuan.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan returned to the courtyard to change their clothes. Just as Liu Sanniang was done changing, she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and met Chu Yan’s gentle and doting eyes. He reached out and touched Liu Sanniang’s head. “Sanniang, you did a great job.”
Liu Sanniang, who was fearless in the face of any difficulties, immediately felt her face heat up.
She did not dare to look Chu Yan in the eye.
She was not afraid of demons or ghosts, nor was she scared of any danger. However, when facing Chu Yan, she was at a loss. Her heart would beat wildly, and the seed in her heart would begin to grow as if it was nourished by the rain.
Chu Yan said in a low voice, “Come and eat.”
As usual, Chu Yan held her hand and squeezed it.
Liu Sanniang bit her lip and followed. There was ginger soup and a bowl of egg noodles. Liu Sanniang felt that the softest part of her heart was touched. At this moment, she seemed to have fallen in love with Chu Yan.
“Eat quickly.”
Seeing that Liu Sanniang did not pick up her chopsticks, he smiled. “I’ll feed you.”
Liu Sanniang quickly picked up her chopsticks. “I’ll do it myself.”
As she drank the ginger soup and ate the noodles, Liu Sanniang recalled the power Chu Yan had given her at the critical moment. She had some questions. She couldn’t help but look up at Chu Yan.
With just a glance, she saw Chu Yan’s eyes darken. He said in a low voice, “Sanniang, don’t look at me like that.”
