Chapter 353 Chilling
Unexpectedly, the mother and son encountered an unexpected incident and were killed by villains.
She finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and married Su Fang as she wished, even though she knew that there was a place in Su Fang's heart that belonged to that woman.
When Lu Shian returned to the Lu residence, he ordered Shitou to find out about the Duke's Mansion.
The city of Anjing was in an uproar. The wife and daughter of the Duke's Mansion were kidnapped. No one knew who the kidnapper was, and the news spread like wildfire for a while.
The next day, Li Hongting came to see Lu Shian early in the morning.
The frequency of her meetings with Li Hongting had obviously increased in the past few days.
The first thing Li Hongting asked when they met was, "Did you hire someone to kidnap Liu Rulan?"
Lu Shian's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly froze.
"Do you know that it was Liu Rulan who harmed us?"
Li Hongting avoided the topic and continued, "The Duke's Mansion is not an ordinary family. You should release the person immediately, otherwise the Duke's Mansion will never let it go."
Lu Shian felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
It turned out that Li Hongting had long known that it was Liu Rulan who threw them into the mountains.
She sneered and gave Li Hongting a non-standard salute: "I did not arrest the young lady or the wife of the Duke's Mansion. If the Second Prince does not believe me, you can go and check."
Li Hongting grabbed Lu Shian's hand and asked her to look at him: "Shian, I know you are angry that Liu Rulan threw us into the mountains. I am also very angry, but the Duke's Mansion cannot be moved now, do you understand?"
Lu Shian laughed angrily: "Can't move? Why can't you move? You are afraid that the Duke won't support you, right?"
Li Hongting frowned: "Lu Shian!"
"You don't have to call me that, Second Prince. I'm not as generous as you. I will definitely get what anyone owes me back. Although I didn't capture Liu Rulan this time, I will definitely not let her go if I have the chance."
When Li Hongting heard Lu Shian say this, his suspicions gradually dissipated: "Is it really not you?"
"I think I did."
Realizing that he might have misunderstood Lu Shian, Li Hongting's tone softened.
"It's good that it's not you. You are a woman and you don't know how terrible the Duke's Mansion is. If you provoke them, it won't be easy for me to protect you even if I want to."
Lu Shian walked away silently. She looked at the vase on the table and said calmly, "Second Prince, are you afraid that I will implicate you?"
"It's not that I'm causing trouble, I just don't want anything to happen to you."
"Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. If there is nothing else, please go back. I have something else to do, so I won't see you off."
"Ten An."
Li Hongting went forward and tried to grab Lu Shian's hand, but Lu Shian took a step back to avoid him.
She was actually so stupid as to ask him for help. For these princes, nothing was more important than the throne. As long as they could sit on that position, they could do anything.
Li Hongting knew that Lu Shian was angry, so he patiently explained.
"I know you are angry. People of Shi'an should look at the long term. I promise you that I will help you get revenge, but not now."
Li Hongting's meaning was very simple. Now he was just a prince and did not want to offend the Duke's Mansion. He would settle the score with them after he inherited the throne.
"I have something else to do, please go back, Second Prince."
There is nothing wrong with the prince doing this. She actually only understands this now!
Before Lu Shian had time to catch her breath after seeing Li Hongting off, Qin Jingzhi actually came to visit her!
This surprised Lu Shian!
She and Qin Jingzhi were definitely not friends, although Qin Jingzhi gave her a good impression!
As soon as he saw Lu Shian, Qin Jingzhi smiled and said, "Please don't blame me for coming to your house without sending a visiting card in advance, Miss Shian!"
"Miss Qin, you are joking. It is a great honor for us to have Miss Qin here! I just don't know what is the matter with Miss Qin?"
"You may not believe it, but I didn't have many friends when I grew up in Anjing. As the year draws to a close, my close friends would gather in groups of three or four or visit each other, but I..."
Qin Jingzhi smiled and lowered his head. "It just so happened that I thought of you when I was nearby, so I came here shamelessly! You wouldn't reject me, would you?"
"No, no, I don't have any friends in Anjing, I'm so happy that you can come."
"Really? That's great. By the way, I bought some cloth on the way here to give to you and the other sisters of the Lu family."
"Miss Qin is so polite."
"Don't call me Miss Qin, just call me Jingzhi."
"Okay, Jingzhi."
"Then I'll call you Shi'an."
"it is good."
Qin Jingzhi took a piece of cloth from the maid and said, "I liked this piece of cloth at first sight. I think your sister Xianchun will look very beautiful in it."
Lu Shian paused. Her sister used to be Qin Qiubai's maid, so Qin Jingzhi should know that. So what did she mean by this?
Is this a test? Or does he already know something?
"Shian, call your sister here..."
"What a coincidence! My sister is not here right now."
"Oh, that's a shame, but it's the same if you give it to her."
Qin Jingzhi continued the conversation with a smile, making it impossible to tell what she was really thinking.
"And these two pieces of cloth can also be used to make beautiful clothes for children. One piece is just right for Ziyuan and Zhinian."
Lu Shian had a smile on his face at first, but now he really couldn't smile anymore.
What did Qin Jingzhi mean by this? Why did she mention Zhinian? Did she already know that Zhinian was the bloodline of her Qin family?
Lu Shian looked at her straightly: "Miss Qin, you don't have to be so polite. It's better for you to state your purpose directly. It's disgusting to hear you say you are sisters."
We are all smart people. Since Lu Shian said so, Qin Jingzhi also spoke frankly.
"I want to meet your sister."
"No, my sister isn't here."
"Shi'an, don't misunderstand me. Qiu Bai has already told the family about everything. I came here today just to see the child and to hear what your sister is planning."
"That sounds nice, but do you respect my sister's opinion?"
"Shian, you can't make the decision on this matter, so just ask your sister to come out. I know she's at home."
Of course Lu Shian didn't want them to meet. She didn't know what happened that year, but there was no doubt that it was her sister who was injured.
But she was not involved in the matter after all, so no matter how much she said, it would be useless.
She was silent for a moment: "Wait."
She would go and invite her elder sister in person, and if she didn't want to see him, she wouldn't force her.
No matter what decision her elder sister makes, she supports her unconditionally.
After hearing what Lu Shian said, Lu Xianchun stood up and went to the front hall.
"Sister, you have to think it over carefully." After hiding for so long, she still failed in the end.
Lu Xianchun patted Lu Shian's hand and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but there are some things that cannot be avoided."
