Seeing Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao like this, Concubine Yun gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

In the end, all her efforts were in vain. She was not as useless as Lu Shiming. She quickly calmed down and opened her eyes again to reveal a determined look.

Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao were thrown in front of the people and cried. “Madam, I’m guilty. I’m guilty. On the account that I’ve served you for my entire life, please let me off this time.”

Su Qiong’s tone was cold as she said, “You can’t make up for your mistake, not even with your life. Servants who betray their master will never be forgiven.”

Su Qiong thought that she wouldn’t be able to bear it and would be in so much pain that she would break down. However, at this moment, she was strangely calm.

This was because after so many days of extreme agony, she was already insensitive to pain.

Lu Shiming looked at Su Qiong. He had never been so afraid in his life to the point that he didn’t even dare to look her in the eyes..

Lu Ranran’s body trembled. “Mother, what do you mean? Am I not your daughter?”

Lu Ranran looked at Su Qiong with tears in her eyes. They rolled down her face like pearls.

Su Qiong closed her eyes and said without looking at Lu Ranran, “Ranran, you’re still my daughter. This won’t change.”

Lu Ranran shook her head. “I don’t believe it.”

Lu Ranran covered her chest and started coughing.

The glow on her face quickly faded, and every cough hit Su Qiong like a blow.

The maidservants in charge of taking care of Lu Ranran became nervous. “Second Miss, Second Miss.”

Su Qiong’s heart ached. She doted on Lu Ranran for more than ten years. She cared about Lu Ranran’s every move. She was worried when Lu Ranran coughed violently.

Lu Ranran reached out to Su Qiong. “Mother, I feel terrible. I can’t breathe. Help me.”

Su Qiong clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers dug into her flesh. If it was in the past, she would definitely hold Lu Ranran in her arms and call for a doctor. Nothing was more important than Lu Ranran.

But now, she couldn’t.

Su Qiong closed her eyes and said slowly, “All along, it’s my fault. It’s my tolerance that gave you the illusion. Today, I’ll tell you that I, Su Qiong, want to divorce Lu Shiming. We’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on.”

Lu Shiming’s eyes widened. He looked at Su Qiong and could not believe what he heard. How could she bring herself to divorce him?

Lu Shiming gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, “I don’t agree.”

He hadn’t gotten anything out of Su Qiong yet.

The concubines who had been called over could not hold it in anymore. What about them henceforth?

They were all Lu Shiming’s concubines. If Lu Shiming was kicked out, what did he have? How could he possibly support them? They pulled their children to kneel down and begged. “Madam, you and Master can’t divorce…”

Facing Su Qiong’s cold gaze, they lowered their heads in shame. Even though they knew that their words meant nothing, they still wanted to give it a try.

Su Qiong didn’t want to hear it at all. She said calmly, “Save yourself the trouble of persuading me. At the end of the day, you’re all thorns by my side. Although I’ve never cared, I can’t deny that I’ll never like any of you.”

Just because she was tolerant did not mean that these thorns did not exist.

In the past, she could tolerate it, but now, she couldn’t bear it at all.

Lu Shiming stared at Su Qiong. “You vicious woman, you…”

Su Qiong interrupted him coldly. “You’ve committed a huge crime. I’ve already reported it to the government. Neither you nor Concubine Yun can escape the punishment by the law.”

Lu Shiming’s body went limp. “You, how can you do this!”

Not only did she want to divorce him, but she also wanted him to go to jail.

Concubine Yun narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Qiong with ruthlessness.

The maidservants who went to bring Lu Run returned. They looked panicked and knelt down. They reported fearfully. “Madam, we… we couldn’t find Fourth Young Master.”

Su Qiong widened her eyes in shock. “What? How is that possible?”

Her body swayed, and her heart seemed to have been dug out. She took a few steps backward. “Where’s Lu Run?”

The maidservant said in a trembling voice, “Madam, when we went there, there was no one in Fourth Young Master’s room. We searched the entire courtyard but couldn’t find him.”

Concubine Yun smiled. “Madam, you didn’t expect this, did you?”

Concubine Yun stood up and looked at Su Qiong indifferently with a cold expression. “Why are you so annoying? It wasn’t easy for Master and I to raise Lu Qingqing into a useless idiot. Why did you have to ruin our plan?”

If it weren’t for Su Qiong stopping her, Lu Qingqing would already be married. They could also get a share of this huge family business. Ever since she entered the mansion and realized that Su Qiong was the matriarch, she had started her planning.

Lu Shiming was useless and would listen to everything she said.

But she had underestimated Su Qiong.

However, she would rather die than give up. Upon receiving the news that Nanny Sun and Nanny Xiao were brought back, she was ready to execute plan B.

There was no absolute secret in this world. Knowing that every secret would be exposed sooner or later, she had prepared a back-up in advance.

Su Qiong glared at Concubine Yun hatefully. “Where did you hide Lu Run? Give him back to me.”

Lu Shiming looked at Concubine Yun and heaved a sigh of relief. He said fiercely, “Yun, tell her to handover the Su family to us and get out.”

Lu Shiming knew that he was not Su Qiong’s match, but Concubine Yun was smart. Having Lu Run was equivalent to holding the biggest chip.

Concubine Yun glanced at Lu Shiming and suppressed the annoyance in her heart. She turned to look at Su Qiong. “Madam, do you want to know where he is? Then kneel down and beg me. Beg me, and I’ll tell you!”

Zhu Changyuan frowned and shouted. “How dare you. Aren’t you aware you’ve committed a serious crime? I won’t let you off.”

Concubine Yun smiled. “Magistrate Zhu, don’t frighten me. I’m very neurotic and can’t stand being frightened. If I accidentally faint, I don’t know when I’ll wake up again. Don’t you think so, Madam?”

Su Qiong’s body trembled as she said with difficulty, “Magistrate Zhu, this is a family matter.”

Zhu Changyuan shot Concubine Yun an angry look and took a deep breath. “Alright, I understand.”

Su Qiong gave Zhu Changyuan a grateful look before looking at Concubine Yun. “If you don’t hurt Lu Run, I’ll pretend that nothing happened.”

Concubine Yun narrowed her eyes and smiled. She looked around. “I’ve said it before. Kneel down and beg me. If you beg me, I’ll consider it. Just like how you did to me back then.”

When she first entered the mansion, her ambition was to replace Su Qiong. She was quite arrogant back then because Lu Shiming was deeply in love with her.
