Chapter 2611: My Deceased Mother Will Surely Watch Over Me
Lu Junning heard the insinuating words from Mistress Yun and noticed the strange looks from people around her, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
“Why would you think that something had happened to me?” Lu Junning looked at Mistress Yun. “I am blessed with good fortune. My deceased mother will surely watch over me, turning any bad luck into good and sending certain wicked individuals to hell.”
Mistress Yun’s face trembled slightly, and she let out a long sigh. “As long as you’re fine.”
“Ahem…” Third Prince Shen Hao stepped forward, glanced at Lu Junning, and said, “Actually, Second Miss Lu never actually disappeared. I asked for her help, so she temporarily left Tiantai Temple.”
Third Prince Shen Hao intended to testify for Lu Junning in order to protect her reputation and also gain some favor in front of her.
However, Lu Junning felt no gratitude whatsoever. There was only disdain and hatred hidden deep within her eyes.
Lu Junning almost couldn’t control the urge to strangle this man.
Wearing a veil over her face, Lu Mingxuan saw that the third prince was testifying on behalf of Lu Junning and couldn’t help but feel angry and jealous. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and exclaimed, “Why didn’t Third Prince inform everyone earlier? We all went through so much trouble searching for my sister! We thought something had happened!”
As soon as Lu Mingxuan spoke up, everyone’s attention shifted toward her.
People started whispering among themselves while pointing fingers at Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan’s turned pale and she abruptly ran away. However, due to the injury she had sustained in her chrysanthemum earlier, running made that area hurt even more. It was agonizing enough for her to feel like dying.
So Lu Mingxuan’s posture as she ran off was rather peculiar.
Ning Shu looked at Lu Junning. Lu Junning’s expression was calm and she showed no signs of being affected by the drugs. Ning Shu wondered if the issue had been resolved by some pa-pa-pa, or through some other means.
But so far, Lu Junning appeared completely unaffected.
“Miss Lu has been with me all this time,” a man suddenly appeared and spoke up.
This man had a majestic figure and handsome features; he exuded an aura of unparalleled elegance.
Upon seeing him, Lu Junning’s expression darkened.
Shen Hao exclaimed in surprise, “Imperial Uncle?”
Imperial uncle?
Ning Shu observed this man—Lu Junning’s destined partner in this lifetime had arrived.
He was Shen Yichen, the younger brother of the current emperor and the uncle of Third Prince Shen Hao.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but rub her chin. So it was Lu Junning’s true destined partner who saved her?
After being deceived so miserably in her previous life, she still found someone from the royal family in this life.
Was loneliness really that powerful? But who knew what Lu Junning was thinking?
Shen Yichen’s noble identity allowed him to suppress scumbags like those who harmed Lu Junning. Even being a firefighter required a noble background; otherwise, how could one save lives?
Third Prince Shen Hao saw Shen Yichen and his expression turned unpleasant. “What do you mean by saying that you were with Second Miss Lu the entire time?”
“It means exactly what you think,” Shen Yichen replied calmly. “We enjoy tea together and play chess. Afterward, we consulted Master Liao Ran about our fortunes.”
“Amitabha Buddha, indeed,” said Master Liao Ran with a bow.
With Prince Chen’s testimony and Master Liao Ran vouching for them, there was naturally nothing for Lu Junning to worry about anymore
Shen Hao’s facial color is very bad. It felt like everything he had done earlier had become a complete joke.
He felt embarrassed and humiliated, but there was nothing he could do against Shen Yichen.
Once he ascended the throne, he vowed to eradicate individuals like Shen Yichen who were like fish bones stuck in his throat.
The mere existence of Shen Yichen was infuriating.
