Chapter 511: Hurt Her Deeply

Frowning, Lu Liangwei walked forward swiftly and leaned down to help her up.

Whatre you doing? How could I blame this on you? Why are all of you rus.h.i.+ng to take the blame?

Chu Jiu was unwilling to get up. She had committed her worst dereliction of duty by failing to protect Miss, so how could she not be punished?

Its because I wasnt vigilant enough to realize that something was wrong. Please punish me severely, Miss. If it had been someone other than Misss mother who had abducted her this time, Miss would have been in real danger. Even if she died a hundred times, she would not be able to make up for her mistake.

Master was unwilling to punish her. He said that she already belonged to Second Miss Lu, and it was completely up to Second Miss to deal with her, so she could only kneel here and ask Miss to punish her.

Lu Liangwei covered her face in exasperation. Why are you such an idiot? If you want to talk about not being vigilant enough, shouldnt I punish myself first? Besides, I brought this on myself because I never doubted Madam Lin. According to your logic, I should punish myself first.

Chu Jiu frowned. Youre not to blame, Miss

So are you. Lu Liangwei sighed, then lowered her voice. I command you to get up now.

Chu Jiu looked at her hesitantly.

Lu Liangwei let out a frustrated laugh. Steeling her heart, she said, If you dont get up now, Im going to have to fire you.

Hearing this, Chu Jiu shot up immediately.

The corners of Lu Liangweis mouth twitched. When she saw an untreated wound on her left arm, she could not help knitting her brows.

Come, let me treat your wound first. Lu Liangwei took her hand and headed toward the medicinal room. As she walked, she checked her pulse, relieved when she found nothing wrong.

Lu Tingchen returned to Constellation Harvest Court, planning to visit Weiwei after was.h.i.+ng up.

She was getting married tomorrow, and he could not bear to see her go.

However, he had barely set foot in the courtyard when his father came in after him.

Is something the matter, Father? Lu Tingchen was surprised.

Without replying, Lu Hetian walked into the parlor and sat down in a chair.

Lu Tingchen put aside his sword and made him a cup of tea.

Lu Hetian took a sip before saying with forced nonchalance, By the way, where does your mother live now?

Hearing this, Lu Tingchen immediately realized that he had come to ask about Mother.

Father, its not that I dont want to tell you. Its just that Mother doesnt want to see you, and even if you go, it will only annoy her.

Hearing this, Lu Hetian glared at him.

As expected, sons were all nuisances!

The Liang Familys daughter said Lu Hetian casually, holding the teacup in his hand.

Lu Tingchen froze, a grimace appearing instantly on his handsome face.

Father was always using that h.e.l.lcat from the Liang Family to threaten him!

However

Even if you want me to marry the Liang Familys daughter, I wont give in. Youre the one who betrayed Mother and made her suffer all these years. I cant betray her for my own sake! Lu Tingchen said sternly.

Lu Hetians chest tightened.

Lihua must have suffered a lot over the years, right?!

He was silent for a moment and eventually got up, no longer asking him about Lihuas whereabouts.

Watching his father walk away, Lu Tingchen felt unhappy too.

Since young, he had always thought of his father as a tall and mighty man, but looking at his fathers slightly hunched back right now, he felt a little uncomfortable.

How did Father and Mother come to this point?

He was well aware of the resentful way Mother looked at Father, as if she was looking at her enemy.

Perhaps Father had really hurt Mother deeply back then.
