Chapter 2651: The Current Crisis Had Been Resolved
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders, feeling that Lu Junning was being a bit stubborn.
She was someone who had lived two lifetimes, but she still didn’t seem to know when to advance or retreat.
Was it because she felt that since she had to live so cautiously in her previous life, she should be as reckless as she wanted in this life?
Lu Yuanfan didn’t bother to go to the general’s residence anymore. Lu Junning could stay there as long as she wants. He didn’t care anymore.
The new madam was also just fulfilling her duty and responsibility. Since Lu Junning didn’t want to come back, she naturally wouldn’t insist that Lu Yuanfan bring her back.
After all, things were nicer if there was no legitimate daughter in the household suppressing her.
Facing the legitimate wife’s daughter as a stepmother was always a struggle.
Ning Shu was just waiting for a notification to leave this world. Her task should be pretty much complete.
The current crisis had been resolved, and from now on, it’d depend on Lu Yueyun herself.
She just wondered how Lu Yueyun would feel when she returned and found that she had become Lu Yujing.
Ning Shu wiped her face.
Ning Shu had originally thought her task was already done, but suddenly, soldiers surrounded the entire Lu residence.
They were completely entrapped.
Lu Yuanfan was also called into the palace.
Ning Shu furrowed her brows tightly. Could it be that the crisis the Lu family faced hasn’t passed yet?
Mistress Liu appeared very anxious and couldn’t hide her fear. If something happened to Lu Yuanfan, what should she do? What would happen to the whole family?
“It’s alright,” Ning Shu comforted Mistress Liu.
She had already destroyed the booklet. Could it be that there were still other evidence?
It seemed some things could not be stopped no matter how hard one tried.
Lu Yuanfan went into the palace, and then there was no news at all. The Lu residence was tightly sealed off like an impregnable fortress, not even the servants could leave.
A sense of panic hung over the entire Lu residence, making it hard to breathe.
Lu Yuanfan’s fate would determine the fate of everyone in the residence.
If something happened to Lu Yuanfan, not a single one of them could escape.
This matter must be related to Lu Junning.
Seriously, what benefit did it bring her to destroy the Lu family? If the Lu family was destroyed, where could she go? Could it be that she planned to just stay in the general’s residence?
The loyal dog, her deeply affectionate man, now had a family and could no longer give Lu Junning his exclusive affection.
Ning Shu saw Mistress Liu in a panicked state and said, “Aunt, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
“Go and get some rest. When you wake up, everything will have been resolved,” Ning Shu said.
Mistress Liu rubbed her forehead. “How can I sleep?”
“Trust me, everything will be fine,” Ning Shu remained very calm and composed.
After leaving Mistress Liu’s courtyard, Ning Shu lifted her skirt and ran back to her own courtyard.
“Miss, please wait for this servant!” Yuan Xiang called out to Ning Shu from behind.
The young miss was truly as calm as still water but also as fast as a crazed rabbit.
Ning Shu returned to her own courtyard and prepared some medicinal powder for self-defense. She said to Yuan Xiang, who was still gasping for breath, “I want to eat something light. I’m going out for a walk.”
“Miss, where are you going now?” Yuan Xiang leaned against the wall, catching her breath.
“Don’t follow me. I’m just going around the garden,” Ning Shu replied.
Ning Shu walked around, looking for anything suspicious.
Even if Lu Yuanfan had really done something, she had to ensure that the Lu residence was clean and free of anything strange.
Ning Shu arrived at Lu Yuanfan’s study, which had just been renovated.
There was a lingering scent.
Ning Shu looked around. Seeing no one, she slipped into Lu Yuanfan’s study.
She searched everywhere, looking for things like a dragon robe or any items with obvious rebellious intentions.
Ning Shu couldn’t afford to be careless. If Lu Yuanfan couldn’t escape this disaster, it would be difficult for her to protect Mistress Liu and escape with her.
When a big tree fell, those who depended on it for survival would also be destroyed.
