Chapter 397: No Guilt at All
Zijuan's heart trembled, and the secret joy that had just arisen in her heart was instantly suppressed.
She thought she was going to become the local emperor of the Lu family, but Lu Zhiran's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, making her sober up instantly and become obedient.
She was just a concubine, and a maidservant that came with Fang's dowry. Lu Zhiran did not take revenge on her later, which was already a special favor to her. How could she expect more?
The people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were Lu Zhiran's eyes and ears, and they were also responsible for supervising and suppressing her.
After all, her daughter is just a daughter and it is impossible for her to inherit the Lu family's incense, so adopting a son is necessary.
From now on, not only will she not be able to do anything to the child, she will also have to fawn over him with all her heart, because he will set up his own family in the future, and both she and her daughter will have to make a living under his control.
Her daughter's marriage also depends on the future head of the Lu family.
If she wasn't honest, Lu Zhiran would have plenty of ways to get rid of her, just like he got rid of Lu Guanxuan.
Zijuan quickly adjusted her position, not daring to have any improper thoughts, and responded respectfully.
Lu Zhiran took in the change in her expression and knew that his persuasion had worked, and he felt satisfied.
Zijuan is smart and knows how to adapt to the times, and can be a very useful knife.
At the same time, she also has her own little thoughts, which is nothing, because everyone has their own selfish desires.
It's actually a good thing that she is selfish, because Lu Zhiran can control her better to achieve his goals.
Moreover, she has a daughter.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Zhiran finally decided to use her.
When you have children, you have a soft spot.
Even for the sake of her daughter, she would be obedient and would not dare to go against her.
After giving her a few more instructions, Zijuan retreated respectfully.
Lu Zhiran did not leave, but went to Zhichun Garden.
I heard that Fang is going to die.
Lu Zhiran naturally had to go see her, otherwise wouldn’t it be a pity?
Fang's condition is worse than last time.
Lu Guanxuan beat her again last time, and her injuries became more serious.
The servants in Zhichunyuan ignored her completely, and the steamed buns that were supposed to be delivered to her every day were gone, so she was starving to death.
She was so thirsty that she crawled to the table, picked up the teapot with difficulty, and wanted to pour herself a cup of tea.
But she had no strength in her hands and couldn't even hold the teapot. The teapot fell on her and shattered into pieces. Her already bruised body felt even more painful. She ignored the pain and lay on the ground, licking the remaining tea.
She was so thirsty.
Hunger is bearable, but thirst is extremely unbearable.
She licked the water on the ground eagerly, and suddenly, a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in front of her.
The embroidery is exquisite and extremely luxurious.
Fang's movements froze.
She slowly raised her head and met Lu Zhiran's gaze full of sarcasm and pity.
Fang's face trembled violently, and then a murderous look flashed in her eyes.
She grabbed the broken porcelain pieces at hand and swung them at Lu Zhiran's legs.
Shuanghua, who was beside Lu Zhiran, didn't give her any chance to get close to her and easily kicked her over.
The broken porcelain pieces pierced Fang's body, and she screamed in pain and almost fainted.
Lu Zhiran looked down at her as if she were a piece of broken trash.
"Ms. Fang, you certainly never imagined that one day you would end up like this."
Fang's face was distorted, her breathing was rapid, and the hatred in her eyes was almost poisonous.
"It's all your fault, bitch, it's all your fault!"
"So what?"
Fang roared, "I won't let you go. When I become a ghost, I will haunt you day and night, leaving you no peace!"
Lu Zhiran chuckled, "You should worry about yourself. How many lives have you taken? If you go to the underworld, I'm afraid you'll go to the eighteen levels of hell and won't even be able to become a ghost."
Fang's face twisted again, and she felt inexplicably panicked.
But she was unwilling to show weakness in front of Lu Zhiran.
"Do you think that what you did will leave no trace? Your father already knows what you did behind my back. He's a very petty person, with a heart smaller than the eye of a needle. He's already remembered you, and he'll definitely find a chance to settle the score with you!"
Lu Zhiran laughed when he heard that.
"Do you think I'm afraid of him? Who is he and who am I?"
"He is your father, filial piety is greater than heaven!"
Lu Zhiran actually laughed out loud this time. "You think you can suppress me with just the word 'filial piety'? How ridiculous. Besides, even if filial piety is really useful, my father is doomed to be unable to use it. He has now suffered a stroke and is paralyzed. He can't speak and can barely protect himself."
Fang was completely shocked.
She felt sorry for Lu Guanxuan, but was shocked by Lu Zhiran's methods.
She was so cruel that she even dared to attack her own father.
She didn't care about Lu Guanxuan's life or death, she just hoped that Lu Guanxuan could be more powerful and teach Lu Zhiran a lesson. It would be best if they became father and daughter and had a huge fight.
Unexpectedly, Lu Guanxuan was so incompetent.
He deserved the stroke.
"It's fine that you're targeting me, but you're not even sparing your own father. You should be worried about going to hell in the future."
Lu Zhiran's eyes were icy. "He colluded with you to murder your wife. He embezzled the family wealth and was ungrateful and heartless. Over the years, he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. I have no regrets in taking action against him."
Fang smiled contentedly, "Seeing you and your daughter turn against each other makes me feel really happy. Thank you for coming all the way to tell me this good news."
She no longer had any feelings for Lu Guanxuan, only hatred.
She was too happy to see Lu Guanxuan end up in such a miserable situation.
Lu Zhiran doesn't think that I will be sad for him, right?
She must be stupid to shed a tear for Lu Guanxuan.
Lu Zhiran shook her head. "I'm not here to tell you this news. I'm here to see you off. Speaking of him, it's just a passing mention."
Fang's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Do you think I'm afraid of death? I'm already barely alive and won't live long. If you kill me, you're actually helping me."
She acted fearless and brave, only in this way could she prevent Lu Zhiran from being complacent.
"Do you think I'll let you die quickly? You're naive. Back then, you poisoned my mother, causing her to suffer in bed. I also prepared something for you."
Lu Zhiran gestured to Shuanghua, and Shuanghua took out the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.
Shuanghua's voice was calm and steady. "This is the Heartbreak Powder. Taking this poison will cause your intestines to rupture, causing you to feel the pain of a thousand ants gnawing at your heart, and eventually you'll bleed from all seven orifices and die."
Lu Zhiran's tone was also very calm. "To prevent you from committing suicide by other means, I will tie you up first, remove your jaw, and torture you to death bit by bit."
Fang's face changed drastically and her body shrank subconsciously.
"You, you have such a vicious heart!"
Lu Zhiran smiled sinisterly, "If you can kill your enemies with your own hands, then it's not a bad idea to be a vicious person."
