Chapter 2639: I Just Wanted to Thank You

Shen Yichen didnt know how many times he had been rejected. He didnt even understand what exactly was making Lu Junning so unwilling to accept him.

Upon hearing Lu Yuanfans words, Shen Yichen nodded indifferently, stood up, and went after Lu Junning.

Lu Mingxuan watched Shen Yichen leave, her gaze flickering strangely bright.

Ning Shu and Mistress Liu also intended to leave. Lu Mingxuan stopped Ning Shu and said, Third Sister.

Lu Mingxuan walked over and took hold of Ning Shus arm, saying to Mistress Liu with a smile, Mistress Liu, can I have a word with my third sister?

Ning Shu said, Mistress Liu, you can go back first. Ill come find you later.

Mistress Liu felt a bit uneasy but could only leave.

Eldest Sister, what do you want to talk to me about? Ning Shu asked.

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said, I just wanted to thank you and tell you that I hope that we sisters can get along well in the future.

Ning Shu nodded. Okay.

Ning Shu looked at Lu Mingxuan, who was smiling so warmly. Despite everything that had happened, she could still smile like this.

If a person wasnt preparing an explosion in silence, it just meant they were becoming more twisted in the silence.

Lu Mingxuan now gave Ning Shu the feeling that she had become deranged.

Prince Chen is really good to our second sister, but it seems like she doesnt appreciate it at all, Lu Mingxuan s.h.i.+fted the topic to Lu Junning.

When she said Lu Junnings name, Lu Mingxuan was no longer hysterical like before, but this calmness made people even more uneasy.

Ning Shu nodded in agreement. Exactly, it seems like Prince Chen cant do without Second Sister.

Lu Mingxuan smirked. Cant do without her?

After exchanging a few words with Ning Shu, Lu Mingxuan left, and Ning Shu stared at her retreating figure.

This was the purpose of bringing out Lu Mingxuan. That way she wouldnt have to face Lu Junning on her own.

The water should be as muddy as possible.

Lu Yuanfan must have some suspicions about Lu Junning.

The things in the study were like thorns in Lu Yuanfans heart.

It was likely that everyone in this household was a suspect in Lu Yuanfans eyes, but Lu Junning was the one that hes the most suspicious of.

That was why he took away her authority as manager of the household and wanted to marry her off to Shen Yichen.

In Lu Yuanfans mind, power and influence were the most important. If someone threatened his position, he would definitely fight back.

Ning Shu went to find Mistress Liu. Mistress Liu seemed a bit dissatisfied as she said, Why didnt you let me take over as the house manager?

Aunt, Mistress Yun has been the house manager for the longest time. Most of the people in the mansion are under her control. After her, its Second Sister who manages things decisively. No one dares to make trouble. But if you take over, most people will still be loyal to Mistress Yun and Second Sister.

You wouldnt be able to change much about the residence at all. Its a thankless task, and Father will even blame you for anything that goes wrong. Even if you wanted to line your pockets, you still needed the ability to do so.

The only reason she wanted to take over as the house manager was because it was a way to move some money around.

Mistress Liu sighed and touched Ning Shus face. My girl, youve grown up. I dont need to worry about you anymore. Now Im rea.s.sured that youll be fine even once you get married.

Ning Shu replied, Dont worry, dont worry. You can rest a.s.sured

The situation of three against one was exactly what Ning Shu wanted to see.

In fact, Lu Junning was being attacked by several forces.

Lu Yuanfan, Lu Mingxuan, Mistress Yun, and Ning Shu.

Lu Junnings advantage lay in having Shen Yichen, a high-ranking and influential prince, by her side.

Ning Shu felt speechless. Instead of going to court to seek justice for the people, he was trapped in the affairs of the womens quarters.

Did he even care about fulfilling his responsibilities?

He had a high rank and influence and lived a comfortable life free of worries on top of that. Even if he was extremely lucky or just good at picking his reincarnation, things shouldnt be like this, right?

Regardless of social cla.s.s, ability and status were always directly proportional.

Ning Shu propped up her chin, thinking about how to solve the issue of Lu Junning.

Lu Junnings reliance was on the generals residence, as well as on the loyal and devoted Shen Yichen.
