Chapter 2623: Wasnt an Ideal Time for Marriage

Ning Shu couldnt really intervene in such matters. If someone could survive smallpox, theyd pull through, if not

Miss, Eldest Misss wedding day is approaching soon. If Young Master Wus illness continues like this, it will be quite troublesome for Misss marriage, sighed Yuan Xiang with the wisdom of an experienced elder.

Yes, Eldest Sisters wedding is fast approaching, said Ning Shu.

If her younger brother was in such a state, it probably wasnt an ideal time for marriage.

Ning Shu:

d.a.m.n it.

In the middle of the night, Ning Shu arrived outside Lu Jinghuis courtyard. She scaled the wall and jumped onto the roof to a.s.sess Lu Jinghuis condition.

Removing a tile from the roof revealed Lu Jinghui lying on his bed with a pale face and breathing rapidly.

His face was covered in chickenpox marks.

Just by looking at his complexion alone, Ning Shu thought that Lu Jinghui might not make it through.

Dogs carry numerous bacteria on their bodies, and this particular dog even carried smallpox. Lu Jinghui, being a child with weak resistance against diseases, was especially vulnerable.

Mistress Yun remained by his bedside, continuously wiping away tears.

Ning Shu left the courtyard and returned to her own room.

She opened her makeup box, which contained some jewelry and silverher only a.s.sets.

After closing the box and hiding it away, she sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

In the end, Lu Jinghui did not survive; he pa.s.sed away a few days later.

Due to his young age, Lu Jinghuis death could be considered premature; there wasnt even a funeral held for him.

They placed him in a coffin and buried him right away.

Lu Yuanfans once broad back became hunched over as Mistress Yun fainted from excessive crying.

The Lu family now had no male heir remainingthe eldest daughter was already about to get married but there would be no man to inherit their lineage anymore.

Clutching his jaw tightly while trembling with emotion, Lu Yuanfan clenched his fist.

Ning Shu glanced at Lu Junning. Her expression remained cold as always.

Following Lu Jinghuis burial, Lu Yuanfan fell ill and had not attended court for several days.

The atmosphere within the Lu family grew increasingly strange.

Mistress Yun now possessed gray haira visible sign of time pa.s.singand whenever she looked at Junning, her eyes filled with a disturbing poisonous gaze.

Noticing this, Ning Shu sensed that Mistress Yun wanted to kill Lu Junning even if it was at the cost of her own life.

After the funeral, it was time for Lu Mingxuans wedding. Gradually, red lanterns were hung up throughout the house.

After mourning, there would be some joyful events to change the atmosphere.

However, they didnt make a big fuss about it.

Lu Mingxuan was sent off in a bridal sedan chair.

When Ning Shu saw Li Yu riding a tall horse to welcome and marry Lu Mingxuan, she felt relieved.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Lu Mingxuan boarded the bridal sedan chair and headed towards the marquis residence.

Finally, she wouldnt have to marry Li Yu anymore.

Ning Shu stretched lazily. It was sure tiring to live in such a tiny, cramped s.p.a.ce.

With one less person around, the Lu residence became much quieter.

However, after marrying Li Yu, Lu Mingxuan was expected to return home to visit in three days but never came back.

Lu Junning! Ill kill you! I swear Ill send you to h.e.l.l! A roar echoed from within Lu Mingxuans courtyard.

Immediately afterward, a disheveled woman rushed out. She was still adorned in her wedding dress, albeit wrinkled and dusty.

Her hair was unkempt as she glared fiercely at Lu Junning.

Ning Shu was taken aback for a moment when she saw Lu Mingxuan. Wasnt she supposed to be at the Marquis residence?
