Chapter 331: Faking Death
Under Mr. Lu's gaze, Mrs. Lu's words were choked in her throat.
"Remember what I told you before?" Mr. Lu's eyes were sharp, and his tone was unhappy. "Don't interfere too much in Yichen's affairs. He can marry the kind of person he likes. Don't interfere."
"Grandpa," Madam Lu said, feeling somewhat guilty, "even if I'm not Yichen's biological mother, I've been his mother in name for all these years! Don't I really have any say in what kind of person he chooses to marry?"
"Besides, I'm doing this for Yichen's own good. Zhong Nianyao comes from a humble family, and as you know, her cousin is Chen Ran's mistress. Things like this can't be kept secret."
"Why should we keep it a secret?" Old Master Lu frowned. "I've never thought of keeping something like this a secret. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we be afraid of other people gossiping?"
"Old man," Madam Lu exclaimed, "how can this be possible?"
"Why not?" Mr. Lu looked at Mrs. Lu with displeasure in his eyes. "I'm going to make this clear today. As long as Yichen likes her, he can marry whomever he wants. You have no right to interfere."
Madam Lu wanted to say something, but Mr. Lu continued indifferently, "Don't get too involved in Yichen's affairs. If you have time, take good care of Yilei. You can worry about his marriage. And--"
When he said this, Mr. Lu's tone was full of sarcasm. "Your mother's family has caused a lot of trouble. Your brother must have been in trouble again recently! You should take care of it! Aren't you afraid of what others will say at this time?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. She had never thought that Mr. Lu would actually use her family's affairs to ridicule her, just because of Lu Yichen and that Zhong Nianyao.
Seeing that Madam Lu stopped talking, Mr. Lu continued to warn, "I won't pursue what you said to Nian Yao today. But as long as Yi Chen likes Nian Yao, you'd better restrain yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and went upstairs.
Mrs. Lu, who was left behind, had an extremely gloomy expression on her face. She clenched her fists and tried hard to suppress her inner resentment so as not to lose control.
On the other side, after dinner, Lu Yichen sent Zhong Nian Yao back to the Zhong family.
Just as she arrived at the door, Zhong Nian Yao saw two figures rushing towards her before she even entered. They were so fast that she couldn't even see who they were.
Lu Yichen turned around and came in front of Zhong Nian Yao, then kicked them both away one by one.
At this time, Zhong Nianyao also saw clearly who the people coming were, they were Ling Chao's parents.
They were kicked by Lu Yichen and fell not far away. Both of them looked extremely embarrassed.
At this point, Ling's father and mother had long since abandoned their usual formal attire. Although they were still wearing custom-made clothes, it was clear that they hadn't put any thought into their outfits. Furthermore, the weariness on their faces was unconcealable.
When she saw the two of them, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "What on earth did you do?"
When Zhang Jing went to seek revenge on Ling Chao, she had already calculated that Ling Chao would definitely not survive more than three days. However, looking at the facial features of Ling's father and mother, there was no sign of loss, and their faces were particularly strange. This meant that Ling Chao was still alive, but not completely.
But how could Zhang Jing let Ling Chao live? So, they must have done something.
"Miss Zhong, please help us."
Ling's father and mother endured the pain in their bodies, stood up and came to Zhong Nianyao, and said pleadingly, "We really don't know what to do, so we can only come to you."
A cold light flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. She counted with her fingers and found that Zhang Jing had already been reincarnated.
She couldn't help but feel puzzled. Zhang Jing had died so tragically, there was no way she would let her perpetrators go. She would definitely be willing to reincarnate only after her vengeance was achieved. However, the biggest problem now was that Ling Chao wasn't dead yet.
"What on earth did you do?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Ling's father and mother and said coldly, "Don't try to deceive me, or I will really not care about anything."
"No, no, no, please don't." Ling's mother was anxious. "You really have to help us, otherwise our family will be ruined."
Soon, Ling's father and mother told everything in detail.
It turned out that after they parted ways with Zhong Nian Yao last time, they were still very worried when they thought about what Zhong Nian Yao said, that Ling Chao would die within three days.
Because of the Pen Fairy incident, they were well aware of Zhong Nianyao's abilities. They were truly afraid their son wouldn't survive more than three days. However, they had already fallen out with Zhong Nianyao, and she had made it clear that she would absolutely not save Ling Chao.
So, they immediately started looking for a way to find a master to save Ling Chao's life.
At this moment, a man dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly came to their door. He called himself Zixiao Zhenren and said that he could help their son escape the disaster.
They didn't know how the other party came to them, and they didn't trust the man who called himself Zixiao Zhenren.
However, the other party quickly told all the grievances and hatreds between Ling Chao and Zhang Jing.
Seeing that the other party knew everything, they directly regarded Master Zixiao as their life-saving straw.
Zixiao Zhenren said that there was a way to make Ling Chao fake his death and deceive the female ghost. After the female ghost was reincarnated, Ling Chao would have escaped the disaster.
"Fake death?" Zhong Nianyao frowned. "Did that Zixiao Zhenren let Ling Chao fake his own death? He didn't go directly to deal with Zhang Jing, right?"
This was really strange. When a normal Heavenly Master encountered something like this, wouldn't the first thing they did was to eliminate the evil spirit? But this Purple Sky Immortal wanted Zhang Jing to fulfill her wish and then reincarnate.
"In the beginning, we actually asked him to take that female ghost in." Father Ling looked at Zhong Nianyao carefully before continuing, "But Master Zixiao flatly refused us, saying that the female ghost was already full of hatred because of her tragic death. If we insisted on taking her in, the retribution would fall on our family."
