Chapter 2599: Don’t Worry, I Will Avenge You
Lu Junning entered the main courtyard to visit Lu Mingxuan, who was throwing a tantrum in the room, saying, “I don’t need her to come see me. Have her scram!”
Lu Mingxuan was lying on the bed, pale as a ghost with no color on her lips. After the commotion last night, she looked like a broken doll.
Now her face was red with anger, and she held her stomach, feeling unbearable pain. She didn’t dare to get too excited anymore.
Lu Junning heard Lu Mingxuan’s words outside the door, and with a calm expression, hooked her lips and said lightly, “Since Eldest Sister doesn’t want to see me, then I’ll come to see her next time.”
Lu Junning left without any frustration of being snubbed.
“Mother, it must be that Lu Junning who did this to me, it must be her,” Lu Mingxuan cried and said to Mistress Yun.
Mistress Yun gently patted Lu Mingxuan’s back and said, “Mother will definitely find out who did this to you.”
“Sister, don’t worry, I will avenge you,” Lu Jinghui said as he patted his chest.
Lu Jinghui was only about seven years old. Since he was the only boy in the mansion, he was greatly loved by Lu Yuanfan.
Mistress Yun’s hopes of elevating her status depended on her daughter marrying a man of high status and her son Lu Jinghui.
As the only son of the Lu family, if he wanted to inherit the family business, he would have to become the legitimate son.
In the mansion, Lu Jinghui always did as he pleased. When he saw his sister being bullied, he quickly ran out with a slingshot in hand.
Lu Jinghui made his way to Lu Junning’s courtyard and aimed the slingshot directly at her.
The round stone would have caused serious injury or swelling if it hit a person.
Lu Jinghui was smug and waited to see his second sister crying bitterly.
As the stone flew towards Lu Junning at high speed, her expression remained cold.
The maid next to her immediately rushed in front of Lu Junning, closed her eyes, and braced herself for impact.
However, just as the stone was about to hit the maid’s face, another stone flew over and deflected the pellet. It missed Lu Junning entirely.
Somewhat stunned, Lu Jinghui took out another pellet and aimed it at Lu Junning once again. However, her expression turned stern, and a fierce aura emanated from her eyes.
The pellet missed Lu Junning once more.
Lu Junning gazed deeply at Lu Jinghui and said, “As the male heir of the Lu family, you lack etiquette. As a non-legitimate son, you don’t even know to bow when a legitimate daughter, especially one that’s older than you.”
Unable to gain the upper hand, Lu Jinghui was furious and retorted, “Who do you think you are for me to bow to you? And you dare to bully my sister? I’ll make you regret it.”
Lu Jinghui found an excuse to leave after failing to hit Lu Junning and losing face. “Now kneel before me, bark like a dog and I’ll spare you,” he commanded arrogantly.
Lu Junning’s expression remained cold as she responded, “Such arrogance and tyranny.”
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Jinghui. If her child had not been killed, her child could have slowly grown up, and she would have educated him patiently while giving him the best that the world had to offer.
However, Lu Mingxuan had killed him.
Lu Jinghui was a little scared by Lu Junning’s gaze and ran away with his manservant following closely behind.
As Lu Jinghui ran off, Lu Junning watched him. In his brocade clothes, he appeared to be like a little fairy boy but in reality, he was a malicious and arrogant spoiled child.
“Miss, are you alright?” The maid asked, her voice still shaky.
“I’m fine. In the future, don’t rush in front of me in these kinds of situations.” Lu Junning looked towards the maid. “I know that you’re loyal.”
