Lu Run reached out to wipe Su Qiong’s tears. “Mother, don’t cry. Let the past stay in the past.”
Su Qiong nodded with difficulty. Yes, everything was finally over.
Su Qiong shouted. “Someone, go and find Eldest Miss. We will eat together as a family today.”
After Su Qiong finished giving the order, she looked at Lu Run gently. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?”
Lu Run shook his head. “I’m not hungry. Let’s eat together when Eldest Sister comes back.”
Su Qiong nodded.
Lu Qingqing returned to her room early in the morning. She was not sleepy. After washing up, she was about to leave when Lu Zhen followed behind her. Lu Qingqing bit her lip. “Lu Zhen, stop following me. I’m not leaving the house. I’m going to find someone.”
Lu Zhen stopped in his tracks and watched as Lu Qingqing disappeared from his sight. There was a faint trace of helplessness in his eyes.
Lu Qingqing came to a courtyard. While everyone in the Lu Mansion was panicking, this courtyard was extremely quiet.
Lu Qingqing knocked on the door.
Liu Sanniang had already gotten up for a while. Chu Yan went to the kitchen and brought some food over. The two of them ate together. When they heard a knock on the door, Liu Sanniang stood up to open the door. When she saw Lu Qingqing, she smiled. “Miss Lu, come in.”
Lu Qingqing secretly sized up Liu Sanniang. If she didn’t see what happened with her own eyes, she would have really found it unbelievable. Liu Sanniang looked younger than her, but at that time, she felt that Liu Sanniang was extremely powerful. When she walked beside Liu Sanniang, she felt very peaceful.
Lu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, “How much do you charge for your service? I want you to read my face.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “I’m not that good at it yet, but if you want, I can try to read your face. As for the money, it’s up to you how much you want to give me.”
Lu Qingqing pursed her lips. “Will you be angry if I give you a penny?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Lu Qingqing. “Not at all.”
Lu Qingqing curled her lips. “Don’t worry, I’m not that petty.”
Liu Sanniang smiled.
She brought Lu Qingqing back to her room.
After entering, Lu Qingqing closed the door and said, “That guard of yours won’t hit me, right?”
When she thought about it, she was a little afraid. She did not bring Lu Zhen with her. Yesterday, when she saw that her father wanted to hit Miss Liu, the fierce guard instantly kicked him. She saw it clearly. That kick broke her father’s knee. That guard was so protective of Liu Sanniang. If she was taken as an enemy, she might be beaten up.
Hearing Lu Qingqing mention the guard, Liu Sanniang was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Chu Yan. She smiled. “No, he won’t. Don’t worry.”
Lu Qingqing sat down at the table. “Do you want me to do anything?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No, just sit.”
Lu Qingqing was a little nervous. After she went out that day, she went to look for Qin Lin. To be honest, she really felt that she didn’t have that kind of passion for Qin Lin anymore and even felt a little disgusted by him.
However, Qin Lin was very friendly. Even if she treated him with indifference, he would still find a way to make her happy.
After returning, she had a complicated feeling. Did she like Qin Lin? Not quite. Did she hate Qin Lin? Not exactly.
Liu Sanniang looked at Lu Qingqing. From what she saw, Lu Qingqing was fated to have many romantic encounters, but most of them were bad. She slowly said, “You will have a bad romantic encounter. However, after that, the next one will be a good one. You will obtain a happy marriage and be loved by your husband.”
Lu Qingqing frowned. “Bad romantic encounters? I can’t recall having any such encounters. If I really marry Qin Lin, will he love me a lot? He’s quite an honest person and responsible. My mother was wrong about him this time. He’s not greedy for the family business like my father.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Only by avoiding the bad romantic encounters will you have a chance to experience the good ones. If you are trapped in a bad romantic encounter, you will never be able to make a comeback.”
Lu Qingqing frowned. “Is it that serious? Then which romantic encounter is bad?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. She had pointed it out but she didn’t give her an answer bluntly, as was the rule for face readers.
Seeing that Liu Sanniang was refraining from giving her a direct answer, Lu Qingqing pursed her lips. “Alright, thank you. I’ll get the servant girl to send you money later.”
Lu Qingqing stood up and went out. The moment she opened the door, she was shocked to see Chu Yan. She stammered. “I didn’t do anything to her. Don’t be angry.”
Chu Yan did not speak, and Lu Qingqing quickly sneaked away.
Not long after Lu Qingqing returned, a servant came to get her to go to the main courtyard for the meal. Lu Qingqing did not throw a tantrum and calmly said that she would go over after changing her clothes.
The servants were all in disbelief.
Lu Qingqing had always been a person who was ready at all times to flare up.
But when she saw that scene with her own eyes last night, she felt like a fool.
She was angry at Lu Ranran for stealing Su Qiong’s love. However, after discovering the truth, she felt like she was good for nothing. Other than venting her anger on the servants, she was capable of nothing.
After calming down, she began to reflect on herself. What happened last night made her grow up quite a bit.
When she thought of how she had been played by Concubine Yun and Lu Ranran, she understood how stupid she was.
At the thought of Lu Run, Lu Qingqing also recalled many things. Lu Run would always smile gently at her. When she lost her temper and was grounded, many paper planes would fly into her courtyard, making her happy.
When she went to eat and saw Lu Run’s smile, she was certain that Lu Run had long known about the truth, but he had been holding it in. He had used his own way to please and get close to them.
Lu Qingqing felt a little awkward. Before Su Qiong could speak, she said, “You don’t have to tell me about it. I know everything. I wasn’t a good girl in the past, but I’ll change in the future.”
Lu Qingqing looked at Lu Run. “Brother, thank you. In the future, you will take over the family business while I learn to behave myself well.”
Now with Lu Run coming back, Lu Qingqing thought she might not be tolerated by Su Qiong anymore. However, no matter whether Su Qiong approved of Qin Lin or not, Lu Qingqing would still stick to her thoughts of marrying him.
Not long after Lu Qingqing left, Liu Sanniang received another guest.
