Chapter 2606: Is It Done?
Lu Junning took out a handkerchief and walked into the room. Ning Shu also followed her inside.
Ning Shu covered her nose and threw a bunch of medicinal powder toward Lu Junning, then hand-chopped her neck.
Lu Junning instantly fainted and Ning Shu proceeded to pull her onto the bed.
She poured a substance into the incense burner. Since they clearly like messing with this stuff so much, she’d give them a boost.
As she locked the door behind her and prepared to find a place to get changed, she unexpectedly bumped into Lu Mingxuan.
“Is it done?” Lu Mingxuan eagerly asked Ning Shu.
Her face was filled with excitement as if she had already witnessed Lu Junning’s downfall.
Ning Shu used a handkerchief to cover her face, revealing only her eyes. “Eldest Miss, everything has been taken care of. You can go and see for yourself.”
“Let me gather people first,” replied Lu Mingxuan. She wanted to stage a dramatic scene where everyone caught them red-handed in an affair.
“Eldest Miss, perhaps you should take a look first,” suggested Ning Shu.
After contemplating for a moment, Lu Mingxuan agreed with this suggestion. After all, it would be problematic if something went awry. She had put forth considerable effort in setting up this scheme against Lu Junning.
Lu Mingxuan stared at Ning Shu curiously. “Why are you covering your mouth?”
“The medicine is too potent; I’m scared of accidentally inhaling it even out here,” responded Ning Shu, bowing her head slightly.
Lu Mingxuan proceeded toward the bedroom but didn’t hear any sound coming from inside.
“What’s going on?” Lu Mingxuan couldn’t resist opening the door.
She walked in while covering her nose, only to find that there was nobody on the bed.
Ning Shu too felt surprised; Lu Junning should have been inside this room.
As expected, if someone was a protagonist halo.
Ning Shu quickly knocked out Lu Mingxaun and placed her on the bed.
Several meow sounds came from outside.
Ning Shu stepped outside and saw a man who appeared extremely deformed and grotesque.
This was the person Lu Mingxuan had hired to defile Lu Junning?
But with such an appearance, who was she trying to disgust?
“Can I go in now?” The man eagerly rubbed his hands together as he asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes at him. What the hell was this?
She could faintly hear Lu Mingyue moaning from inside.
Evidently, the effects of the medicine had begun to take hold.
With yet another swift hand chop, Ning Shu subdued this vulgar man and dragged him to a corner.
After administering a packet of sleeping pills, he would sleep for a while. Wait, wasn’t this the man who violated Lu Yueyun in Lu Yueyun’s past life?
Removing a hairpin from her head, Ning Shu flipped the man over and pierced the man’s waist with it.
The intense pain caused sweat to instantly cover the man’s face. He groaned and promptly lost consciousness.
Ning Shu changed back into her own clothes and dressed the maid again before making her way back to the Hall of Great Strength.
As she encountered Li Yu aimlessly wandering around, an idea formed in Ning Shu’s mind.
Sneaking up behind Li Yu, Ning Shu struck him unconscious with precision.
Ning Shu shook out her hand. Her hand was sure working hard today.
Carrying Li Yu into the room, she placed him next to Lu Mingxuan. Even if nothing happened between them, the fact that they were lying there together was enough to create trouble.
Lu Mingxuan had arranged for Lu Yueyun to marry Li Yu, but now that they were in close proximity, she could prepare herself for marriage with Li Yu instead.
Swiftly closing the door, Ning Shu hurriedly returned to the Hall of Great Strength.
Mistress Yun glanced at her. “Where did you go?”
“I went to use the restroom because my stomach wasn’t feeling well,” replied Ning Shu nervously.
“Have you seen your eldest sister?” Mistress Yun questioned further.
Ning Shu shook her head with a confused expression.
While listening attentively as Master Liao Ran explained Buddhist scriptures, Ning Shu wondered where Lu Junning had gone off to.
Could it be that one of her secret guards rescued her?
However, those drugs were enough to make things difficult for Lu Junning. After all, what was inside that incense burner was extremely potent. Furthermore, once the drugs finished burning, they wouldn’t leave any traces.
