Chapter 2596: Her Revenge List
This was because Lu Yuanfan was a terrible father. He had a non-legitimate daughter before his legitimate daughter was even born. When Lu Junning’s mother married Lu Yuanfan, Mistress Yun had walked up proudly with her prominent pregnancy bump to do the tea offering ritual.
Afterward, Lu Junning’s mother died early, and Lu Junning was secretly tormented by Mistress Yun. Her reputation was even destroyed in her previous life.
So Lu Junning put her father on her revenge list in this life.
She also had her suspicions about the way that her mother died. Her mother had passed away before she was old enough to talk.
So Lu Junning also resented her father for her mother’s death.
Furthermore, Lu Junning learned that her father and Mistress Yun had snatched her mother’s dowry. Many of the decorations in Mistress Yun’s room were from her mother’s dowry.
The thought of it made her grit her teeth. One day she would make them all spit out everything, including principal and interest.
In fact, Lu Junning pretty much viewed the entire Lu family as her enemy. She planned to directly sink the Lu family’s big ship, taking everyone down at the same time.
Since Lu Junning had someone who loved her deeply, she didn’t need to worry about not having the Lu family to support her.
Ning Shu, on the other hand, didn’t care either.
If something really happened to the Lu family, she would just leave with Mistress Liu and go live somewhere else.
She could always survive, even if things might be a little harder.
Ning Shu put down her embroidery and rubbed her eyes, then began to cultivate.
The stronger she became, the better.
There were strong martial arts guards around Lu Junning, and when the time came, they would drag her over to take the fall. It was so unfair.
When Ning Shu was practicing late at night, she heard some movement in the main courtyard, with footsteps coming and going.
What happened?
It was an ungodly hour.
The next morning, Ning Shu asked Yuan Xiang to inquire about what had happened.
The sound came from the main courtyard, so either Mistress Yun had an accident or Lu Mingxuan had something happen to her.
Ning Shu had a hunch that it was Lu Junning who had made a move.
Yuan Xiang went for a while and came back shaking her head. “Miss, this servant did not find out what happened. The people in the main courtyard are tight-lipped, and this servant dare not be too obvious.”
Ning Shu nodded and said, “You did well.”
After getting ready, Ning Shu went to the classroom, but Lu Mingxuan’s seat was empty. It appeared that she had an accident the night before.
Ning Shu reflexively glanced at Lu Junning, who wore an indifferent expression. When Lu Junning noticed Ning Shu looking at her, she casually asked, “Third Sister, is there something on my face?”
Ning Shu replied, “Second Sister, your hairpin is very pretty. I couldn’t help looking at it.”
Lu Junning inquired, “Do you want it?”
Ning Shu waved her hand. “No need, no need…”
She knew that she did not have anything that would match the hairpin on Lu Junning’s head.
It was another reminder that a legitimate daughter and a non-legitimate daughter were worlds apart.
Since Lu Mingxuan did not show up, their teacher only briefly taught them and left.
She did not even check their homework, which made Ning Shu quite disappointed. She had finally completed the work diligently, yet her efforts only received attention when she made a mistake.
As soon as Teacher Liu left, Lu Junning also departed with a cold and lofty attitude.
Only Ning Shu and Lu Yujing remained in the classroom. Lu Yujing whispered to Ning Shu, “Third Sister, do you think something happened to Eldest Sister?”
Ning Shu shook her head. “I don’t know.”
They had not heard any news from the main courtyard either.
Whatever happened was probably not good.
Ning Shu left the classroom and headed back to her courtyard. Yuan Xiang walked up and said, “Miss, I heard that something happened to the eldest miss.”
As she had expected.
“Do you know what happened?” Ning Shu asked.
