Yuan Xiang pointed towards some bushes. “Miss, it was buried here.”

Ning Shu took a wooden stick and carefully moved aside the soil. She examined the dead puppy closely and even took a sniff.

She prodded the dog’s body with the tree branch, touching its tongue which appeared red with pus-filled blisters that were bleeding in certain areas.

“What are you doing, Miss?” Yuan Xiang observed Ning Shu crouching down and poking at the dog’s body, causing goosebumps to rise on her own skin.

Ning Shu covered up the burial spot using soil. “Let’s go back.”

Once they returned to their room, Ning Shu cleaned her hands thoroughly with medicinal powder and discarded her shoes.

She then had Yuan Xiang wash her hands with hot vinegar.

Ning Shu sighed heavily. This world really was dangerous!

It was clear that something was wrong with this dog.

Its purpose seemed aimed at severing Mistress Yun and Lu Mingxuan’s last backup plan.

Lu Jinghui served as Mistress Yun and Lu Mingxuan’s final hope.

Within the inner courtyards, the sole hope women could rely on was their children.

Men kept multiple women in these inner courtyards for two reasons: to fulfill their desires and produce more offspring.

However, one must not underestimate a woman’s jealousy.

Even the man himself probably couldn’t anticipate that as the number of women increased, instead of bolstering their chances of producing heirs, it would diminish them.

Children were reduced to sacrificial pawns in the tumultuous battle within the inner courtyard. Even the women themselves were willing to sacrifice their own offspring.

Lu Junning likely intended for Lu Mingxuan and Mistress Yun to experience the pain of losing a child as well.

Ning Shu wiped her hands, contemplating how Lu Junning would try to deal with her.

There was also the matter between Lu Mingxuan and Li Yu. Few people knew that Li Yu had a preference for men.

To outsiders, Li Yu seemed like an ideal candidate for marriage due to his advantageous conditions. Would Lu Junning allow Lu Mingxuan to marry him?

Ning Shu massaged her temples, uncertain about how far Lu Junning would go with all of this.

The marquis’ residence came and proposed marriage, then Prince Chen also came to propose marriage. His proposal procession was much grander than that of the marquis’ residence.

Boxes upon boxes were brought into the Lu residence, filling up every corner of the courtyard.

Despite Prince Chen’s personal visit and persistent pursuit, he was still rejected by Lu Junning.

In response, Prince Chen just refused to leave the Lu residence until Lu Junning agreed to the proposal. He even threatened Lu Junning by stating that if she didn’t comply with his request, he would expose their past relationship.

This provoked great anger in Lu Junning. However, there was little she could do about Prince Chen. Even her father politely welcomed him as a guest in their home.

Ning Shu: Haha, what the fr*ck?

Ever since having taken Lu Junning’s body, he had been fixated on her alone.

No matter how much resistance Lu Junning put up against him, he remained loyal like a devoted dog by her side.

In her previous life, Lu Junning encountered a despicable man, and now she was rewarded with an affectionate and loyal companion who acted more like a faithful dog than anything else. freewebnove(l).com

And this loyalty would last a lifetime.

During this entire time, Prince Chen had no concubines, it seemed as if he was specifically waiting for Lu Junning to enter his life.

Honestly speaking, was there something wrong with Prince Chen’s body? How did he not even have a maid for sleeping purposes?

“Miss, the Lu residence has been experiencing a lot of good fortune recently,” Yuan Xiang exclaimed joyfully as she poured tea for Ning Shu. “Both Eldest Miss and Second Miss have suitors coming forward one after another. And each suitor holds higher status than the previous one. Will it be your turn soon?”

Ning Shu was embroidering lilies this time. She responded nonchalantly, “It’s still too early.”

Things wouldn’t conclude so easily.

Lu Junning wouldn’t allow it to end that way.

During this tumultuous period, she had to ensure her own safety while protecting Mistress Liu as well.

“Both Eldest Miss and Second Miss have suitors. It’s only a matter of time before it’s your turn,” Yuan Xiang insisted.

“What you see is merely an illusion of prosperity,” Ning Shu muttered under her breath.
