However, Su Ping's attention was drawn to the young man beside Madam Lu.
The boy was young, dressed in a Taoist robe, and stared straight at her, his eyes seeming to see through the blankets and onto her.
What's going on? Can he see himself?
Before she could think further, Madam Lu had already turned to look at the young man, her smile filled with respect.
“Young master, your master said back then that this child was both a blessing and a curse, so we have been raising him according to his methods all these years…”
Before she could finish speaking, the boy suddenly frowned, tilted his head, and muttered to himself, "Something's not right."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu's smile froze instantly.
Something's not right.
Then, following the boy's gaze, he looked at Lu Zhiyan on the bed, and his eyes were immediately filled with suspicion.
"Did you do something?"
Xiao Lu Zhiyan opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but habitually lowered her head.
At this point, whatever he says is wrong, because his mother will never listen to his explanations and will even get angrier if she thinks he is making excuses.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Madam Lu was eager to prove something to the young man, but he raised his hand to stop her.
The next second, the boy slowly walked towards Xiao Lu Zhiyan.
Su Ping suddenly felt uneasy, as if the person was getting closer and closer, and the panic and unease in her heart were getting stronger and stronger.
Xiao Lu Zhiyan seemed to sense her emotional changes. Although she was very scared, she still silently put her little hand under the covers to comfort Su Ping.
The boy finally stopped in front of the bed, looked at Xiao Lu Zhiyan thoughtfully for a few seconds, and then turned his gaze back to where Su Ping was.
Then he smiled mysteriously and said, "So that's where the variable lies."
Before Lu Zhiyan could react, she had already pulled back the blanket, revealing the rag doll in Su Ping's body to everyone.
After seeing the rag doll on the bed, Madam Lu's scrutinizing gaze fell on the servant beside her.
The servants didn't tell her about this at all. It seems that she has become arrogant because she has been in the Lu family for so long.
Xiao Lu Zhiyan quickly picked up Su Ping and held her protectively in his arms: "What are you doing?!"
What shocked Su Ping even more was the man's eyebrows and eyes. Although he was still young, they could vaguely overlap with the long-haired man from more than 20 years later.
It was him!
Su Ping was startled. He never expected the world to be so small. He was the master that Tu Hengchuan had sought out last time!
The next second, Su Ping was pulled out of Lu Zhiyan's arms.
She then noticed that the way he was looking at her was actually a little excited and thrilled.
Seeing Su Ping being taken away, Xiao Lu Zhiyan quickly stood up and tried to snatch her back.
But no matter how much he patted the man's hand, he couldn't save his sister.
"Give her back to me, you bad person! Why did you steal my sister?!"
The boy looked at him with some surprise, raised an eyebrow and asked, "You mean she's your sister?"
Madam Lu had already realized what was happening and quickly gave a wink to the servant beside her.
Although the servants were reluctant, they had no choice but to step forward and separate Lu Zhiyan from the left and right.
Su Ping watched his two short legs kicking and thrashing on the bed, and felt a strange mix of emotions.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Xiao Lu Zhiyan screamed until he was hoarse, but Su Ping watched as the smile on the face of the boy who had grabbed her grew wider and wider.
His gaze fell on himself again, and he muttered to himself, "Interesting, I actually encountered what my master said."
After saying that, ignoring Lu Zhiyan's obstruction and pleas behind him, he grabbed Su Ping and walked straight out the door.
Su Ping didn't know where he was taking her, but the way he looked at her just now made her very uncomfortable.
After the boy left the room, Madam Lu glared at the crying Lu Zhiyan.
The servants immediately understood her meaning. After she left, they pushed Lu Zhiyan onto the bed and quickly turned and left the room.
Xiao Lu Zhiyan got out of bed, wanting to run over and go out with them, but the servants had already locked the door from the outside.
Xiao Lu Zhiyan had no choice but to keep banging on the door, begging them to open it and let her out.
But there was no one outside the door, leaving him alone inside the room.
Helplessly, she cried and pounded on the door.
He didn't understand. He had never asked for anything. His sister was the only person he wanted to have by his side. Why did they have to take her away from him?
As Su Ping listened to Lu Zhiyan's cries fading into the distance, her heart grew heavy.
Suddenly the scene shifts, and we are in the lobby.
Madam Lu looked at the young man sitting opposite her with a respectful expression, and then asked in confusion.
"Young master, is there any special feature to this worn-out doll?"
The young man pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said mysteriously, "If she's just a simple rag doll, then of course there's nothing special about her, and it won't affect the development of your Lu family..."
"but!"
Madam Lu's breathing paused as he spoke, and she swallowed nervously, especially after hearing about the Lu family's development.
"What I fear is that this rag doll might develop intelligence and the ability to bewitch people."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu's expression turned somewhat terrified. She jumped up from the stool and looked at Su Ping, who was being examined by the young man, with a look of lingering fear.
Su Ping rolled her eyes. Look at her, so naive. She was just possessed by this doll. What's so special about that?
To her surprise, this young man turned out to be the man in question.
Su Ping stared into his eyes and suddenly felt a slight pain in her palm, which he had cut open.
He wasn't a con artist after all; he actually had some real skills. He could tell there was something strange about the doll just by looking at it.
"But don't worry, I will take her back to the mountain."
Su Ping was stunned. Was he really going to take her back to the mountain?
After hearing his words, Madam Lu felt much relieved, and a smile returned to her face.
He quickly got up and saw the boy out the door.
After watching the boy leave, Madam Lu turned to look at the trembling servants behind her, her expression dark and somewhat frightening.
She had no idea that her son had the ability to obtain such a thing.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she would not allow anything to threaten the Lu family!
On the other side, after Su Ping left the Lu family with the boy, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She knew that this dream should be coming to an end soon.
I was in a daze the whole way, and the time I was awake was getting shorter and shorter.
The boy brought her back to the mountain in the shortest time possible, and when he took her out of his bag with a look of surprise and delight, the smile on his face vanished instantly.
