CHAPTER 1100: CHAPTER 224: PERIL AT EVERY STEP, SUFFERING BY CHOICE

Lu Yuke squinted her eyes slightly, turned around, and walked over to sit down in a chair: "Rushing up because you’re angry? You really are beyond help with your stupidity. Even if those two are meeting secretly, what’s it to you? You’re clearly looking for trouble."

Lu Mingzhu cried: "How could this happen? That bitch Ji Yunya even threatened me, saying if I told anyone about them, she’d have Yan Song kill me. She’s just pretending, such a bitch—I won’t let her go."

"Life is just a play; it’s all about whose acting is better. If you take it seriously, you lose." Lu Yuke took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

"Ji Yunya is not that simple. Don’t get into a conflict with her. Until I figure her out, go around her when you see her." Zhuang Xiyue wasn’t sure what to discuss with the old man, feeling a bit uneasy inside.

"Why should I be afraid of her?" Lu Mingzhu protested, "Going around her? That’s giving her too much face."

Lu Yuke suddenly slammed the table, startling Lu Mingzhu, who shivered and turned her head, only to see Lu Yuke glaring fiercely at her: "Do you think you’re capable? With your brain, you’re barely smarter than a pig. If I don’t take care of you, you won’t survive until dawn in this courtyard."

"With that brain... I truly regret bringing you here." Lu Yuke looked at this woman with no figure, no appearance, and no brains, feeling that sooner or later, she’d cause a disaster.

Earlier, she thought about training her, but now she feels even the effort is futile.

Lu Mingzhu rolled her eyes and went over to pull Lu Yuke’s sleeve, whispering: "Auntie, I will definitely listen to you in the future. As long as you let me marry Yan Song, I’ll do whatever you want." Lu Mingzhu raised her hand and swore.

Lu Yuke looked at her quietly and sighed helplessly after a moment: "Alright, alright, since you have the surname Lu, be careful and don’t provoke Ji Yunya."

Although Lu Mingzhu felt unwilling, she had to agree outwardly.

"Alright, stay here and reflect; you’re not going anywhere. I’m leaving now." As she finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave.

Just then, Cuihong burst in: "Madam, it’s bad, something has happened."

Lu Yuke paused in her steps and then quickly walked out: "Talk as we walk."

Lu Mingzhu squinted her eyes and followed to go out, but Lu Yuke ordered as she walked: "Ah Yi, keep an eye on her."

"Yes." At the next moment, a man stepped out from the shadows, blocking the door with a stern expression, "Miss Mingzhu, please go back."

Lu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and turned back reluctantly.

——

"She won’t... be disfigured, will she? Her face is covered in blood, it’s terrifying."

"Exactly, she was quite pretty, but now she’s disfigured, it’s too pitiful."

"If she hadn’t gone to hit Ji Yunya, she wouldn’t be so unlucky. Maybe Ji Yunya would be the one lying inside now."

A few young ladies whispered to each other, glancing stealthily at Ji Yunya while talking.

Yun Ya sat there like the wind, a trace of cold laughter flickering in her eyes.

The timing was just right. Betrayed yet counting money for others, bringing trouble upon oneself.

Just now she noticed Jiang Hanbi constantly looking upwards at her, and she understood their purpose. The method was low-level, not to mention the risk was high. It seemed to be a spontaneous idea, but it had to be said that the effect was good. If she weren’t vigilant, as those ladies said, she would be the one lying inside now.

On her first day here, such a thing happened. Truly a perilous situation, surrounded by wolves and tigers on all sides.

Since Kang Jinxian’s sisters and Yun Shu disappeared, her life has become leisurely. She felt relaxed overall, and now this feeling was what she liked, as if filled with strength, with infinite fighting spirit.

"What are you babbling about? This matter has nothing to do with Miss Ji. Clearly, it was Miss Yan who went to cause trouble for Miss Ji, which led to the disaster. She was unlucky herself." Meng Junci stepped out to speak for Yun Ya, scolding those gossipy ladies.

Yun Ya raised an eyebrow; whether Meng Junci sincerely spoke on her behalf or had other intentions was unclear.

After all, those girls were only speculating, but she made it clear, fearing no one would know that Yan He got hurt because of her. Could her intentions be more obvious?

Meng Shujing glared at Meng Junci: "Ah Ci, what are you doing? Come back."

Yan Hua frowned, looking at Meng Junci with ambiguous intent. Was Ah Ci doing it on purpose?

"Miss Meng, thank you for speaking well for me. However, I indeed bear some responsibility for Miss Yan’s injury. If she’s okay, then it’s fine, but if something happens..." Shaking her head with a sad expression: "I really won’t forgive myself."
