“Second Sister, they... they scolded Mother and Third Sister.”
Lu Xin pouted. Her face was full of grievances as she complained.
Madam Liu and Lu Ning had a strong sense of jealousy and viciousness, but these two children were innocent. They knew nothing.
Lu Sheng had always been one to reciprocate the other party’s sentiments. She would treat someone nicely if they treated her well, and would do the opposite if they did the same.
She gently rubbed her forehead and smiled at them. “Ignore them.”
“Ah Sheng!”
Lu Ran called out as he walked out of his room.
Lu Sheng turned her head and saw Lu Ran. She smiled. “Brother.”
She had long known that Lu Ran had returned. It was just that the previous two days’ business had exhausted her to the point where she couldn’t visit him.
Lu Sheng’s smile surprised Lu Ran.
Ever since their mother’s death, he had never seen his sister smile. Eight years had passed like that.
Lu Sheng’s eyes and brows resembled Madam He’s. They made the two of them look gentle.
However, Lu Sheng’s face was more attractive than Madam He’s. When she smiled, one would feel mesmerized and warmed as if her smile could comfort one’s heart.
In the past, Lu Sheng would lower her head and portray a seemingly weak demeanor. This made everyone neglect her looks.
Even her brother, Lu Ran, had only realized today that his attenuated sister had become an attractive young lady.
Lu Ran smiled and said, “It’s good that you’re back.”
Seeing Lu Ran, Lu Sheng thought of the owner’s wish.
Her smile disappeared, and she faintly spoke. “Brother, stop fooling around with Sun Hu and his gang.”
Sun Hu was infamous in Liu Yue Village for being a lazy man who did not engage in serious work. He would shop around in the day, and pilfer or philander at night.
Everyone in the village would know the culprit when they had lost something. However, they could only lash out their anger indirectly due to a lack of evidence.
Seeing Lu Ran’s silence, Lu Sheng continued, “I dreamt of Mother last night. She wants me to tell you to return to school and study hard. She doesn’t expect you to land up in a prestigious job, but she hopes that you will not become a useless person.”
Lu Ran was the most obedient to Madam He.
Indeed, when she finished speaking, he nervously asked her about it, “You... really dreamt of Mother?”
“Yes.”
Lu Sheng nodded, then asked Lu Jiang to bring Lu Xin back to their room.
When she looked at Lu Ran again, she made up a partially true story. “When I was thrown into the lake, I thought I was going to die. But then I saw Mother. I fainted after that. On waking up, I found myself on the shore.”
Lu Ran only focused on the fact that Lu Ning and Madam Liu had thrown her into the lake.
“You’re saying that Madam Liu and Lu Ning tried to kill you?”
Due to Lu Ran’s indignance, it seemed like the veins on his forehead were going to explode.
He clenched his fist and asked in an icy tone, “Where are the two b*tches? I want to kill them!”
“Them?” Lu Sheng smiled as she replied, “They should be with the officials now.”
Lu Ran frowned. “What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng brought over a small stool and sat down. She raised her head to look at the sky, lowered her eyelids, and smiled.
“Their deed has been exposed, and officials have taken them away.”
The Xuan Yue Country had a litigator. After Madam Liu had been sold to Liu Yue Village to be someone’s wife, her husband died not long after she had given birth to Lu Ning.
Eight years ago. she had gotten together with Lu Dahua and bewitched him to harm Madam He. She then went on to marry him.
She had no maiden family, and neither did Lu Dahua have the intention of saving her.
Therefore, Lu Ning and her wanting to get out seemed impossible!
However, given Madam Liu’s character, she would not easily give up.
