Chapter 2589: Lu Yueyun
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After finishing the story, Ning Shu’s only thought was that the whole couple was trash. Everyone was black as crows, so no one should criticize anyone else.
Lu Junning had been willing to ruin her own family for a man. However, when the man treated her like this, she became infuriated and vowed that if there was a next life, she would make them suffer a fate worse than death.
And then, despite her terrible heartbreak in the previous life, in this life, she still found another man. After getting revenge on the scumbag, the next step was of course to find happiness. And happiness naturally required a man.
Furthermore, it was preferable that this man had a higher status than the scumbag. That way, when she was in danger, the man could rescue her.
“Miss, I’m done,” said the maid Yuan Xiang and she pressed the wooden comb against Ning Shu’s temples.
Ning Shu nodded and glanced at herself in the bronze mirror. Lu Yueyun had a youthful look, with delicate features. She looked no more than thirteen years old.
Her looks weren’t exactly eye-catching, and compared to Lu Junning and Lu Mingxuan, she seemed to have a much lower sense of presence.
Ning Shu hurried over to the inner courtyard. In a family like the Lu family, women had to learn all sorts of skills, such as embroidery, etiquette, music, and painting, to increase their value. Teacher Liu was a strict one and had been invited by Mistress Yun, Lu Mingxuan’s mother. If you were late, you’d be punished by being struck on the hand.
When Ning Shu got to the classroom, she found that she was the only one who was running late.
“Third Sister, you were so close to being late,” Lu Mingxuan said to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu collapsed into her seat and replied, “I overslept.”
Lu Mingxuan was wearing a shirt with water-blue Suzhou embroidery and a lily skirt made of soft silver-light silk. There was also a delicate hairpin on her head.
Her outfit surpassed the standard for a daughter of a concubine and was according to the standards of a legitimate daughter.
However, Mistress Yun, Lu Mingxuan’s mother, was currently in charge of the Lu family’s inner courtyard and had a lot of power.
Lu Mingxuan also had a younger brother who was about seven. He was the only male child in the inner courtyard so Mistress Yun had a lot of confidence in her position.
Ning Shu took out the embroidery she hadn’t finished the last time and peered at the basket of scissors, colorful thread, and a bunch of needles.
After a moment, she quietly put the embroidery down again.
She studied the three people in the room. Lu Junning was the most mature of them all. She had a maturity that didn’t suit her age.
There was a certain darkness and balefulness between her brows. It seemed as if she was dealing with something that couldn’t be resolved.
She gave off an aura that made her tough to approach and had an aloof and noble bearing.
Then there was the fourth miss, a daughter of a concubine just like the original host. Her mother died of complications during childbirth, so she had been taken care of by a wet nurse for many years. Her sense of presence was even less than that of the original host.
In places where people gathered, there were always battles, and it was much worse when it was just women. Especially so when women were confined in the inner courtyard, much like when many venomous creatures were trapped in a jar to make demonic poison.
Trivial matters such as a hairpin or a pair of earrings could lead to terrible conflicts.
Feeling someone’s gaze, Lu Junning turned to look at Ning Shu. Her eyes were cold, and Ning Shu sensed a hint of disdain in them.
Ning Shu sighed inwardly. The original host’s birth mother had always told her to be cautious and avoid trouble, to retreat if possible.
Although Eldest Miss Lu Mingxuan was not a legitimate daughter, she was raised as one, and her birth mother, Mistress Yun, was in charge of the entire inner courtyard. It was best not to provoke her.
As for the second miss, Lu Junning, she was the legitimate daughter and her grandfather was a high-ranking general. Although her mother had passed away, her noble status was not to be trifled with.
All Lu Yueyun had wanted was to preserve her life.
In her first life, she had been given to a homosexual by Lu Mingxuan, and in the next life, Lu Junning had ruined her innocence, making her worthless to the family and even a liability to the family’s reputation. As a result, she was sent to the family temple to die.
