Chapter 2636: Lu Mingxuan’s Courtyard

Ning Shu suggested, “We’ve reached Eldest Sister’s courtyard. Let’s go in and take a look.”

Yuan Xiang hurriedly cautioned, “Miss, maybe it’s better not to go. Eldest Miss is really scary.”

Lu Mingxuan’s deranged and resentful appearance when she was choking Lu Yujing during her visit home was chilling.

Ning Shu pushed open the courtyard gate. “It’ll be fine.”

Lu Yujing’s courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and fallen leaves covered the ground. It hadn’t been cleaned or tidied up, giving it a desolate appearance.

“Miss, let’s go back,” Yuan Xiang said cautiously.

The door was open, and Ning Shu walked into the room, seeing Lu Mingxuan embroidering.

“Eldest Sister,” Ning Shu called out to her.

Lu Mingxuan looked up, glanced at Ning Shu, and then lowered her head, continuing to embroider.

“I’m surprised there’s still someone coming to this courtyard of mine,” Lu Mingxuan said sarcastically.

Ning Shu sat down, facing Lu Mingxuan. Lu Mingxuan had become much thinner, with a sharp chin and a weary expression. She looked frail and haggard.

“What do you want from me? Are you here to laugh at me?” Lu Mingxuan said without lifting her head.

Ning Shu sighed and said, “I’m not here to laugh at you, Eldest Sister. All you need to do is apologize to Father, sincerely admit your mistake, and you can leave this place. Why are you so stubborn?”

Lu Mingxuan slammed the embroidery in her hand onto the table. “I’m not wrong. I’ve been framed!”

Ning Shu shrugged. “But the incident has already happened. Time cannot be reversed. Your insistence on getting an explanation only disappoints Father even more. Just apologize to him properly.”

Indeed, she had lost her innocence and her arranged marriage had been stolen by someone else. These things had already happened, and they couldn’t be undone with just an explanation.

“What do you know? It didn’t happen to you. Of course, it’s easy for you to stand there and talk,” Lu Mingxuan said resentfully.

Ning Shu stood up. “I guess I’ve been meddling too much. I’ll take my leave, Sister.”

Ning Shu left the courtyard. She didn’t actually care about how Lu Mingxuan ended up, but if Lu Mingxuan could really pick herself up and confront Lu Junning, it would be good.

Someone who could become an empress in her previous life definitely had her own means. It was just that she was still young and couldn’t bring herself to accept the situation yet.

Ning Shu continued to walk around and noticed that Lu Yuanfan’s study was being renovated.

A fire had burned most of the things in the study. Lu Yuanfan had a stern expression on his face, as if he wanted to stab anyone he saw.

His eyes were dark and gloomy, and he couldn’t help but be suspicious of everyone he saw, feeling that they were the ones who took his item.

Ning Shu forced herself to walk over and bow to Lu Yuanfan. “Father.”

“What are you doing? Stay in your own room.” Lu Yuanfan’s expression was unpleasant.

Ning Shu said timidly, “Father, please don’t be angry. Has the assassin still not been caught?”

“Caught? They ran away long ago,” Lu Yuanfan gritted his teeth, his tone irritable, his brows filled with worry.

The whereabouts of the object was currently unknown.

Ning Shu comforted him, “Father, don’t worry. Second Sister is searching for the assassin. If there’s any news, she will definitely inform you.”

“Father, did you lose something? Second Sister also seems to be looking for something?” Ning Shu asked.

“Something? What thing? What is your Second Sister looking for?” Lu Yuanfan’s face changed, “What did your Second Sister say?”

Ning Shu looked a bit bewildered.

“I’m asking you, what is your Second Sister looking for?” Lu Yuanfan asked anxiously.

Ning Shu shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Lu Yuanfan waved his hand at Ning Shu to dismiss her. “Go back to your courtyard. Don’t wander around without reason.”

“Oh…” Ning Shu’s expression looked very aggrieved as she called out, “Father.”
