Lu Mingxuan was finally able to get out of bed after half a month of recovery. Ning Shu saw that Lu Mingxuan’s face was pale and her chin sharp, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. novelbuddy(.)com

Lu Mingxuan’s eyes were filled with deep-seated loathing and hatred towards Lu Junning, who appeared indifferent to the situation.

The sparks between the two crackled.

Ning Shu was completely unconcerned with the strange atmosphere between them. Even if these two ended up killing each other, she wouldn’t even bat an eye.

In any case, these two would only stop once one of them died.

Teacher Liu did not come to the Lu residence today since recently there were rumors of her involvement with men.

Teacher Liu had never been married and had become a tutor for young ladies of wealthy families right after leaving the palace.

However, due to her now-damaged reputation, noble families no longer allowed her to teach their daughters.

Mistress Yun was suffering from a severe headache due to this. Her daughter was sick in bed, and now Teacher Liu was involved in such a scandal! Hence Mistress Yun dismissed Teacher Liu without even giving her her monthly salary.

It was easy to figure out who was behind this incident. Rumor said that Teacher Liu had gone to a male brothel to find men.

Regardless of who did it, Teacher Liu had landed in a cesspool, and there was no way to wash it clean.

However, Ning Shu didn’t really care whether there was a tutor or not. Without a tutor, she could even stay in bed a little longer every morning.

She spent her days comfortably practicing embroidery in her small courtyard and occasionally discussing embroidery issues with Lu Yujing.

Compared to Ning Shu’s calm demeanor, Lu Yujing appeared uneasy as she spoke. “Third Sister, I’m feeling a little anxious.”

Ning Shu continued to thread the needle without even looking up. “What’s there to be anxious about? Anyway, there’s someone taller to hold up the sky if it falls down. Don’t worry.”

“But I can’t help feeling anxious,” Lu Yujing replied.

The atmosphere at home was peculiar. It was not the atmosphere of a harmonious family but rather a heavy, oppressive atmosphere that left people feeling depressed. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂

“We will be fine as long as we don’t do anything improper,” Ning Shu reassured her.

But sometimes, even if you did nothing wrong, you could still be unlucky and caught in the storm.

Lu Yujing sighed and began to practice writing.

Mistress Liu had someone bring pastries over for Ning Shu and Lu Yujing to eat.

Lu Yujing expressed her envy toward Ning Shu. “Third Sister, your aunt is really good to you.”

Lu Yujing’s mother had died during childbirth, which left her emotionally deprived of any maternal or paternal love while growing up.

“Children are the continuation of their mother’s life. Of course, mothers love them. You have to live better on behalf of your aunt,” replied Ning Shu as she handed a pastry to Lu Yujing.

Lu Yujing thanked her in a quiet voice, then started taking small bites from the pastry.

Just then, Yuan Xiang entered and curtsied towards them before addressing Ning Shu: “Miss, Lu Zhen who serves Madam Yun is here.”

Hearing this news, Lu Yujing hastily stood up. “Then I’ll leave first, Sister.”

Ning Shu nodded.

Lu Yujing took her things and left the room.

As she made her way out through the courtyard, she bumped into Lady Yun’s head maid Lu Zhen but was only met with a casual curtsy from the haughty maid.
