Chapter 2639: I Just Wanted to Thank You
Shen Yichen didn’t know how many times he had been rejected. He didn’t even understand what exactly was making Lu Junning so unwilling to accept him.
Upon hearing Lu Yuanfan’s words, Shen Yichen nodded indifferently, stood up, and went after Lu Junning.
Lu Mingxuan watched Shen Yichen leave, her gaze flickering strangely bright.
Ning Shu and Mistress Liu also intended to leave. Lu Mingxuan stopped Ning Shu and said, “Third Sister.”
Lu Mingxuan walked over and took hold of Ning Shu’s arm, saying to Mistress Liu with a smile, “Mistress Liu, can I have a word with my third sister?”
Ning Shu said, “Mistress Liu, you can go back first. I’ll come find you later.”
Mistress Liu felt a bit uneasy but could only leave.
“Eldest Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?” Ning Shu asked.
Lu Mingxuan smiled and said, “I just wanted to thank you and tell you that I hope that we sisters can get along well in the future.”
Ning Shu nodded. “Okay.”
Ning Shu looked at Lu Mingxuan, who was smiling so warmly. Despite everything that had happened, she could still smile like this.
If a person wasn’t preparing an explosion in silence, it just meant they were becoming more twisted in the silence.
Lu Mingxuan now gave Ning Shu the feeling that she had become deranged.
“Prince Chen is really good to our second sister, but it seems like she doesn’t appreciate it at all,” Lu Mingxuan shifted the topic to Lu Junning.
When she said Lu Junning’s name, Lu Mingxuan was no longer hysterical like before, but this calmness made people even more uneasy.
Ning Shu nodded in agreement. “Exactly, it seems like Prince Chen can’t do without Second Sister.”
Lu Mingxuan smirked. “Can’t do without her?”
After exchanging a few words with Ning Shu, Lu Mingxuan left, and Ning Shu stared at her retreating figure.
This was the purpose of bringing out Lu Mingxuan. That way she wouldn’t have to face Lu Junning on her own.
The water should be as muddy as possible.
Lu Yuanfan must have some suspicions about Lu Junning.
The things in the study were like thorns in Lu Yuanfan’s heart.
It was likely that everyone in this household was a suspect in Lu Yuanfan’s eyes, but Lu Junning was the one that he’s the most suspicious of.
That was why he took away her authority as manager of the household and wanted to marry her off to Shen Yichen.
In Lu Yuanfan’s mind, power and influence were the most important. If someone threatened his position, he would definitely fight back.
Ning Shu went to find Mistress Liu. Mistress Liu seemed a bit dissatisfied as she said, “Why didn’t you let me take over as the house manager?”
“Aunt, Mistress Yun has been the house manager for the longest time. Most of the people in the mansion are under her control. After her, it’s Second Sister who manages things decisively. No one dares to make trouble. But if you take over, most people will still be loyal to Mistress Yun and Second Sister.”
“You wouldn’t be able to change much about the residence at all. It’s a thankless task, and Father will even blame you for anything that goes wrong.” Even if you wanted to line your pockets, you still needed the ability to do so.
The only reason she wanted to take over as the house manager was because it was a way to move some money around.
Mistress Liu sighed and touched Ning Shu’s face. “My girl, you’ve grown up. I don’t need to worry about you anymore. Now I’m reassured that you’ll be fine even once you get married.”
Ning Shu replied, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. You can rest assured…”
The situation of three against one was exactly what Ning Shu wanted to see.
In fact, Lu Junning was being attacked by several forces.
Lu Yuanfan, Lu Mingxuan, Mistress Yun, and Ning Shu.
Lu Junning’s advantage lay in having Shen Yichen, a high-ranking and influential prince, by her side.
Ning Shu felt speechless. Instead of going to court to seek justice for the people, he was trapped in the affairs of the women’s quarters.
Did he even care about fulfilling his responsibilities?
He had a high rank and influence and lived a comfortable life free of worries on top of that. Even if he was extremely lucky or just good at picking his reincarnation, things shouldn’t be like this, right?
Regardless of social class, ability and status were always directly proportional.
Ning Shu propped up her chin, thinking about how to solve the issue of Lu Junning.
Lu Junning’s reliance was on the general’s residence, as well as on the loyal and devoted Shen Yichen.
