Chapter 538: An Ominous Premonition

s a pity that he only lunged halfway before stopping, his two eyes wide as copper bells, staring fixedly at something. His pupils seemed to widen slowly..."Ah!" Qingluo stretched her head out and let..."Sister Lu, you're not the first person to ask me this. To be honest, my answer is no. I yearn for freedom and hate being restrained. Those in the royal family are the most cold-hearted and ruthless. A man's oath is just sweet talk, utterly untrustworthy. They can give you candy, but at the same time, they can stab you hard, making you taste both sweetness and pain. So, the cheapest thing in the world is what people call love between men and women!"

Lu Xiangwan at first thought Xiao Yuge was talking about her, but when she saw the hatred in Xiao Yuge's eyes, she realized something was wrong: "Yuge, you..."

"Sister Lu, just like me, I once trusted the wrong people and was hurt by scumbags. But you're luckier than me, at least you woke up while you were alive!" And she died in her past life.

"Song'er..." Lu Xiangwan suddenly realized that the little girl in front of her, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, was hiding something that the world couldn't see through. But no matter what, she knew that Song'er wouldn't harm her.

"Lu Jiejie, if Nan Gong Jian doesn't die, you will definitely kill him yourself, won't you"

"Right!" Lu Xiangwan nodded seriously, but now Nan Gongjian was dead. The hatred she felt towards him didn't seem as intense as it had been when she first learned the truth. But if he were still alive, she would definitely kill him with her own hands.

"What if one day, you met your sister Would you kill her with your own hands" Xiao Yuge suddenly felt that the Lu Jie in front of her and she were very similar. The difference was that Lu Jie was secretly harmed by her own sister, while she was harmed by her elder sister, but the nature was the same. The essence of hatred was not much different.

Lu Xiangwan fell silent for a moment. Upon hearing that Nan Gongjian and her sister had both betrayed her, she had also considered returning to Miaoling to personally kill them. However, now that the entire Miaoling clan no longer existed, leaving only her and her sister, she truly didn't know if she would be able to do it at that time.

"Still can't bring yourself to do it, can you" Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuge also guessed, her heart was soft, in the end, she would only harm herself.

Lu Xiangwan lowered her head in silence, which could be considered as an admission.

"Lu Jie, I understand you. If someone just had a momentary lapse of judgment and went astray, it's understandable to give them a chance. However, if someone is inherently bad, I think there's no need to be soft-hearted anymore. After all, when she attacked you, she didn't show any mercy."

"Then let's just see. If she is truly repentant, I will consider forgiving her. But if she shows no remorse, then I needn't concern myself with our sisterly bond any longer. After all, as you said, she didn't show any mercy when she was holding a knife towards me." Lu Xiangwan expressed her thoughts. If it weren't for Ge'er appearing in time that day, she might not have been alive now.

“Hmm.” Although Xiao Yuge nodded in agreement, she didn’t really agree. Lu Xianglin knew her sister and the Second Master were in love, yet she still interfered. If her sister wasn't naive, then she was doing this on purpose. To be with her lover, she even dared to harm her own sister; what reason did she have to regret it

Just like Xiao Yu'fu in her previous life, she knew that she was betrothed to Qian Si Chen, yet the emperor still chose to bestow her upon another. Still, Xiao Yu'fu shamelessly pursued Qian Si Chen. To eliminate her, she conspired with a physician, falsely claiming to be ill and needing her blood to recover. It's ridiculous that those pathetic men actually believed such an absurd excuse.

Both of them were lost in thought, and a moment of silence fell between them.

"Winter snow, buy all these back! I'll organize them properly later. When the wedding day comes, we can use them as decorations. It will surely be very beautiful!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the crowd. Lu Xiangwan suddenly stood up and quickly looked towards the crowd, as if she saw a familiar figure. She rushed over immediately!

"Sister Lu!" Xiao Yuge, seeing this, also quickly followed after him.

But when Lu Xiangwan searched the crowd, she couldn't find the familiar figure she had seen before. She stood there in frustration.

"Lu Jie, what's wrong" Xiao Yu Ge caught up to her at this time and saw that she didn't look right, so she hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I... I think I just heard my sister's voice..." Lu Xiangwan was very excited, looking disappointed at the unfamiliar crowd. She began to wonder if she had just imagined it.

Xiao Yu Ge also looked around the crowd, her face full of confusion. She didn't know Lu Xianglin, she only relied on Sister Lu's description, even facing each other, she didn't know if the other party was Lu Xianglin.

“Lu Jie, I think you might not have had a good rest recently. You seem too tense. Why don't I send you back to rest first” She also thought that it was because Lu Xiangwan was too eager to find her younger sister and, in addition, so many things had happened recently, which had dealt a heavy blow to Lu Xiangwan, so she would act this way.

"Okay." Lu Xiangwan sighed despondently, then turned and left with Xiao Yuge.

They were unaware that as they turned to leave, a luxurious carriage was slowly passing by. The occupants only briefly raised the curtain corner, glancing out carelessly before quickly lowering it again.

When Xiao Yu Ge soothed Lu Xiangwan back to Ruyi Pavilion, she was told that Qing Luo had been called away by Xiao Yu Fu.

"What is Xiao Yu Fu looking for Qing Luo to do"

A sense of foreboding washed over her, and she rushed out.

"Ge'er, how did you come" Xiao Mu was both surprised and delighted to see Ge'er, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Ever since she learned that it was Ge'er who risked her life to save her with her heart blood, she felt nothing but gratitude and heartache for Ge'er. She had wanted to take Ge'er back countless times, but Ge'er politely declined every time.

But she and her husband still announced to the outside world that no matter what, Xiao Yuge would always be their Prime Minister's second young lady. Xiao Zhan had even prepared two dowries for them. On the day they got married, they would all leave the Prime Minister's residence in a grand procession.

But at this moment, Xiao Yuge was too eager to catch up with her mother and inquire, "Mother, has elder sister brought Qingluo back"

"Qingluo" Xiao's mother shook her head, a look of confusion on her face. "Qingluo hasn't come back."

Xiao Yu's song had instantly cast a shadow over her heart, and she pressed on with concern: “What about your elder sister Is she still in the mansion”

"Atao, go and see if the young mistress is in her room." Xiao's mother hurriedly told the maid beside her to go take a look.

To her surprise, the girl replied: "Madam, at noon, County Master Hua came to look for Miss. Then, Miss went out with County Master Hua and never returned."ao Yu Ge secretly frowned, she didn't know this old man. What did these people want with him Were they trying to frame her"As soon as the old man saw Xiao Yuge, he pointed at her and exclaimed, "It's...
