No one knew what Lu Yu was thinking about. He only saw his eyes flickering. After a while, a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pond flashed with a chilling cold light.

After a long while, Lu Yu's face turned gloomy and he muttered to himself.

The voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, chilling to the bone, just like the biting wind whistling through the twelfth lunar month:

"Mei Fang, Mei Fang, even now, you are still so stubborn and insist on going down this path to the end. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless and not considering any family affection.

Since all of this is your willing choice, you can only swallow the bitter fruit that will follow alone.

You are so reckless and wantonly trying to play with fire. Since that's the case, I will simply fulfill your arrogant and ignorant thoughts! "

After making up his mind, Lu Yu started running as hard as usual.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he had no intention of stopping. He ran one lap after another until he had finished the predetermined number of laps and successfully completed today's exercise plan.

Then, he dragged his slightly tired body and slowly walked towards home.

The early morning sunlight shines through the mottled leaves into Lu Yu's courtyard.

As usual, Lu Yu greeted Aunt Yu and Qin Wan first, tossed the children up a few times, then washed his hands and face, and then sat at the dining table to enjoy the seemingly simple but extremely delicious breakfast.

But Qin Wan and Aunt Yu still keenly smelled a hint of something unusual from Lu Yu.

But neither of them said anything.

On the dining table, the freshly baked buns are steaming hot, emitting an enticing aroma; the white porridge is cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth; and paired with a few plates of exquisite and delicious side dishes, it greatly increases one's appetite.

They asked Lu Yu what happened without eating first. Only fools would do that.

In a short while, Lu Yu devoured the hearty breakfast like a whirlwind. He patted his stomach contentedly, then stood up and swiftly helped Aunt Yu clear the table.

The two of them worked in perfect harmony, one was responsible for wiping the table, while the other quickly put the dishes into the sink to wash them.

After everything was sorted out, Lu Yu slowly walked to the center of the yard and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fresh air into his lungs.

Before he could exhale the breath he had held, Qin Wan asked:

"What happened to make you unhappy?"

Lu Yu was stunned, thinking: I thought I had concealed it well, but I didn't expect them to see through it. Now that they saw through it, there was no need to hide it anymore.

So, he cleared his cough, and then with a serious expression, he told Aunt Yu and Qin Wan everything about Meifang coming to see him this morning.

Aunt Yu listened quietly to Lu Yu's narration. At first, she just frowned slightly, but as the story progressed, her expression became more and more ugly.

By the time Lu Yu finished telling the whole story, Aunt Yu could no longer suppress her anger. She slammed the table and stood up. Her mouth was like a machine gun, and a string of curse words came out like a string of cannonballs:

"Oh my! How could such a shameless woman exist in this world? She's simply bringing disgrace upon the family! I really don't know how her mother raised her daughter to raise such a shameful child!"

In sharp contrast to the furious Aunt Yu, Qin Wan on the side was listening quietly to Lu Yu's story.

Her beautiful eyes flashed with thought from time to time, and she was obviously carefully analyzing the mystery behind the whole thing.

As Lu Yu's wife, Qin Wan has a deep understanding of her husband.

She knew very well that with Lu Yu's calm and reserved personality, he would never tell the two of them about this matter so seriously if it was just because of Mei Fang's entanglement.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan frowned slightly and bit her cherry-pink lips with her pearly teeth, as if she was experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart.

Finally, she raised her head and stared at Lu Yu with her clear eyes. Her voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing through the strings of a zither, and she asked carefully:

"Lu Yu, I don't know why, but I always have a vague feeling in my heart that this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. Are you... hiding some other important information from me?"

After hearing what Qin Wan said, Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. His eyes became deep and solemn, as if he was lost in memories of the past. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Actually, I know Mei Fang very well. She has a strong and self-righteous personality. Once she has made up her mind about something or a certain point of view, it is difficult for others to change her mind.

Not only that, she is also very stubborn and often self-righteous, thinking that she is always right and that others should listen to her opinions.

What's worse is that she has a very strong possessiveness and wants to control everything.

Today, I humiliated her in front of everyone. Given her temperament, she will definitely not let it go and will definitely find ways to retaliate."

When Aunt Yu, who was standing nearby, heard this, her face, which had originally had a healthy blush, instantly lost all its color and became as pale as a piece of thin paper, which was shocking.

At the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans quickly seeped out from her forehead, as if she had just experienced an intense run. In the blink of an eye, they covered her entire forehead, forming a layer of fine sweat beads.

She clenched her hands tightly together, rubbing them unconsciously, her lips trembling slightly, and she kept mumbling under her breath:

"Oh my, what should I do? How did things develop into this? It really makes me panic..."

The voice was full of helplessness and fear, which made people feel pity.

Seeing Aunt Yu so nervous and uneasy, Lu Yu, who was standing by, quickly restrained the other expressions on his face and quickly put on a comforting and gentle smile.

He took two steps at a time and walked forward, stretched out his hand, gently patted Aunt Yu's shoulder, and comforted her in a soft voice.
