The original Lu Sheng was illiterate, and Lu Ran had no reason to think she could learn to read in two-three days.

When he saw the words "Lu Dahua" on the letter, he thought the letter was for him.

After contemplating for a bit, he opened the letter and scanned through the contents.

The letter had been written on behalf of Madam Liu, who pleaded Lu Dahua to find a litigator for her and Lu Ning.

She had even threatened to expose Lu Dahua's past deed if he refused and tried to frighten him with the experience of being in jail.

Given Madam Liu's tone, Lu Ran could tell that it seemed like she was determined to go all hostile on his father.

It was just that…

He couldn't understand what his father had done that Madam Liu was threatening him with jail time.

"Whose letter is that?"

Although Lu Sheng had guessed the identity of the sender, she still decided to ask.

Lu Ran stared at Lu Jiang and Lu Xin before replying in a faint voice, "Liu Qian."

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were unaware of Madam Liu's name, which explained their lack of emotion upon hearing the two words.

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows. "What does it say?"

"She said that if Father did not hire a litigator for her, she would expose his deeds."

"Oh," Lu Sheng faintly answered.

"She wants to get out? Impossible!"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Lu Ran wanted to tear the letter, Lu Sheng hurried up to stop him.

"Hand the letter over to Father later."

"Why?" Lu Ran became doubtful. "She wanted to kill you. Don't you hate her?"

"Of course I hate her." Lu Sheng smiled. "It's just that there's some unfinished business to take care of."

Lu Ran could not understand what she was thinking, but he placed the letter back into the envelope without ruining it.

Seeing the two plates of vegetables on the table, Lu Sheng thought for a bit and put down her chopsticks.

A plate of stir-fried wild vegetables. They tasted a little bitter. The plates contained soup with wild vegetables, and they didn't contain oil at all.

Lu Sheng had a few delicious food items in her space bracelet, but she could not take them out.

Suddenly, her eyes swept past the courtyard, which had a spacious area. She immediately thought that she could create a garden there.

However, before earning money, she had to fill her stomach.

When Lu Dahua returned, his face wanned upon seeing the letter Lu Ran passed to him.

At night, Lu Sheng released Madam He's spirit and sent her to Lu Dahua's room.

On the next day, the news of the Lu Family's haunted experiences spread like wildfire in the entire Liu Yue Village.

When Lu Sheng saw Lu Dahua the next day, she realized that his face was filled with terror, and his eyes were unfocused.

She smiled before pretending to be worried. "Father, what's the matter?"

When Lu Dahua saw her, he was reminded of her words and Madam He's presence the previous night. His heart started racing.

"I… I have an urgent errand to run!" He picked up his pouch and pushed it into Lu Sheng's hand. "There are twenty taels inside. Take it."

When she saw his panicky departure, Lu Sheng's worried expression vanished. She expressionlessly stared at the pouch in her hand.

A short while after the news of Lu Dahua surrendering for his crimes had spread.

His crime of harming Madam He with the help of Madam Liu was out in the open, and it spread to the entire Liu Yue Village, shocking everyone.

When Lu Ran learned of it, he was astonished.

He had always thought his mother had died of an illness. Little did he expect that she would've died in his father's hands along with another outsider!

Lu Ran remained cooped up in his room for the whole day, and Lu Sheng did not ask him to come out either.

He had to digest certain things himself.

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were unaware of what had happened. They only followed Lu Sheng's order and obediently weeded the grass.

At the same time, at the Chu Mansion.

"It's so unexpected. Lady Lu led such a bitter life." Chu Yun's face was full of sympathy.

After his lord had returned, he had said that Lady Lu was not a simple girl. He wanted Chu Yun to investigate.

Who knew, his results were similar to the Village Head's, and his investigation was in vain.

Although his efforts on Lu Sheng's background were in vain, he had accidentally heard that Lu Dahua had collaborated with Madam Liu to kill Madam He.
