The happiest person after learning Lu Qing's identity was none other than the old lady.

She already liked Lu Qing, and if Lu Qing could become her granddaughter-in-law, she would be overjoyed.

The most unhappy one was Gu Rongrong.

Not for any other reason than that the old lady wanted to give her shares to Lu Qing.

Upon learning that the old lady had hired a lawyer and gone to the hospital, Gu Rongrong rushed over, snatched the transfer agreement, and tore it to shreds.

"Grandma, I am your granddaughter. Why are you giving away shares to outsiders?"

The old lady was startled at first, but after regaining her composure, she suppressed her anger and said:

“Lu Qing is not an outsider. She is your brother’s fiancée. These shares belong to her rightfully, and besides, she saved me!”

"What fiancée! I don't like her, and I don't want her to be my sister-in-law!" Gu Rongrong roared hysterically.

Just then, Gu Yan, Nan Qian, and Gu Xicheng, who had taken Lu Qing out to dinner, returned.

Upon hearing Gu Rongrong's words, the three of them frowned in unison.

Gu Xicheng pushed the door open and went in, saying coldly:

"Gu Rongrong, it's none of your business who I marry!"

"Grandma just woke up, and you're already yelling at her in the hospital room. Have you given up all your manners?"

Gu Yan frowned and scolded:

"Rongrong, let's not even talk about whether your brother and Lu Qing are engaged or not. Even if they aren't, she is still your grandmother's savior. It's none of your business what your grandmother wants to give her!"

Gu Rongrong's eyes reddened from the scolding, and she looked at Nan Qian with resentment:

"Mom, Dad and my brother are both bewitched by this woman. Please say something for me!"

Nan Qian, who always favored Gu Rongrong, was not on her side this time.

“Rongrong, they’re right. Lu Qing is your grandmother’s savior. Even if you don’t like her, you have to respect her!”

Seeing that everyone was on Lu Qing's side, Gu Rongrong became even more agitated:

"What savior! You've all been fooled by her!"

"Grandma got sick after coming back from her contact with her. How do you know that she didn't do something to Grandma or try to get something out of our family?"

Gu Yan and Gu Xicheng are not fools; they can manage so many businesses within the Gu family.

They had already considered what Gu Rongrong said, but they didn't believe that Lu Qingzhen had any ulterior motives.

Just look at how Lu Qing rejected the delicacies when we went to eat, and only showed off twenty meat buns.

They refused to throw away the culinary disaster that the old lady had given them yesterday—the jianbing guozi (a type of savory crepe)—so they believed Lu Qing hadn't planned this all along.

After all, what bad guy would go to such lengths just for twenty steamed buns?

Furthermore, Lu Qing's master was the Gu family's savior. If she had known their identities earlier, she would have simply gone to their door. There was no need for her to do this.

However, Gu Rongrong's behavior has been somewhat unusual these past few days.

Lu Qing hadn't originally intended to say anything, but since Gu Rongrong had dragged her into this, she naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

"Gu Rongrong, instead of arguing, why don't you go back and burn the little jar you keep under your bed?"

Lu Qing's words suddenly rang out, and everyone looked at her in confusion.

Gu Rongrong, however, turned pale and felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to lift her eyes.

"You...you're talking nonsense! There's no small jar under my bed!"

Lu Qing didn't speak, but just stared at Gu Rongrong as she grinned, her smile chilling.

Gu Rongrong felt a chill run down her spine. Recalling Lu Qing's methods for dealing with vengeful ghosts, she couldn't help but feel afraid.

"I don't understand what you're saying. Let me tell you, I will absolutely not let you marry my brother!"

After saying that, Gu Rongrong rushed out of the ward.

Lu Qing thought she should go back and burn the jars now.

Gu Xicheng frowned and looked at Lu Qing: "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"It's nothing, just trying to scare her!"

It wasn't that Lu Qing didn't want to talk about it, but rather that she didn't like to reveal secrets before things were clear.

Her master asked her to go down the mountain to help the Gu family overcome this calamity, so she naturally had to do her best.

While they were arguing, Lu Qing silently cast a divination. The divination result was incomplete, which proved that the matter was not over yet.

Let's wait and see. Only when the mastermind behind this crime appears and the matter is completely resolved can we truly get through this.

"Lu Qing, I'm so sorry, I've spoiled Rongrong!" Nan Qian apologized to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against her."

The old lady beckoned Lu Qing over.

Lu Qing walked over and took her hand:

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll draw a talisman by your bedside later, and I guarantee you'll get a good night's sleep tonight!"

The old lady looked at Lu Qing with a pained expression:

"What a good child! If you had been born into the Gu family, you would be my granddaughter!"

The old lady didn't like Gu Rongrong, even though she was her granddaughter.

Although the Gu family is large and wealthy, because Old Madam Gu came from a life of hardship, she never allows the Gu family members to bully others by taking advantage of their power.

The descendants of the Gu family do not seek great abilities or much honor and wealth, but only to be upright, polite, and well-mannered.

However, Gu Rongrong was arrogant and spoiled from a young age, completely contrary to the Gu family's education.

For a time, this even forced Old Mrs. Gu to resort to corporal punishment.

After realizing the pain, Gu Rongrong became much more restrained, but she would still cause them trouble from time to time.

Over time, Grandma Gu became completely disappointed in her granddaughter.

Gu Yan and Nan Qian also agreed that as long as Gu Rongrong didn't hurt others or cause any big trouble, they would no longer interfere in her affairs.

While the lawyer was still around, Mrs. Gu asked him to draft another agreement:

“Child, Grandma owns 20% of the shares. I’m giving you 10% now. Whether your marriage to Xiaocheng goes through or not, these shares are yours.”

Lu Qing didn't understand what shares were, but she knew they must be worth a lot of money.

Money is the least valuable thing to her because she is born to be poor.

In her master's words, it was like money raining down from the sky; even if coins fell on her, they would only make a sound.

Therefore, Lu Qing refused.

"Grandma, I'm destined to be poor. You'd be better off making me a few jianbing guozi (Chinese savory crepes) than giving me money."

Upon hearing this, the old lady burst into laughter:

"Only a girl like you could eat the jianbing guozi I make!"

Lu Qing grinned and said, "Although your jianbing guozi doesn't look very appealing, it tastes pretty good."

"Okay! I'll make it for you when Grandma gets better!"

Seeing that the old lady was thinking about cooking before she had fully recovered, Gu Yan and Nan Qian quickly dissuaded her:

"Mom, please focus on getting better first. We can talk about cooking later."

The old lady waved her hand: "I'm fine now, I can be discharged soon. I'm not comfortable in this hospital room, you should take me home!"

Gu Yan couldn't refuse the old lady, so he had no choice but to agree.

Since Lu Qing had nowhere to stay, she had no choice but to follow them back to the Gu family home.

Lu Qing originally wanted to ride in the same car as her grandmother, but when they arrived at the parking lot, her grandmother pushed her directly into Gu Xicheng's car.

"Qingqing, you go with Xiaocheng's car. Grandma wants to lie down in the back seat for a while. It's probably not comfortable to sit in this car."
