Hence, the two of them secretly sent someone to tail Lù Yue’an.
However, for some reason, the Old Master eventually found out about this.
After Lt.* Yue’an returned home, he stopped her and asked her.
Lù Yue’an stammered, unable to explain herself.
Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue wanted to assuage him, but just as they opened their mouths to speak, the Old Master also reprimanded them.
In the end, all three of them were lectured together.
The servants were also there, but the Old Master did not have them go out.
From then on, Lt.* Yue’an might have cried a few times from the embarrassment. Later on, she became no longer as lively at home as before, and even seemed a little depressed.
Shi Qingyue tried to advise her a few times, but to no avail.
From then on, the atmosphere in the entire house became gloomy.
Shi Qingyue wanted to say something, but when she saw the Old Master’s expression, she did not dare to say anything.
Lù Chuan was even more afraid of the Old Master and would not dare to say anything.
Actually, Lù Yue’an had never suffered such a grievance. It was the first time she had been openly reprimanded in front of so many people.
When she was with Lu Qing, Shen Yunci, and Lu Zhi, she had been coaxed and pampered since she was young. Not once had she been reprimanded… they had always given her whatever she wanted.
Even if the situation at home was not good, they would still do their best to satisfy all her requests.
She had never concerned herself with where those things came from.
She only had to accept them.
However, things were different after coming to the Lù residence.
She did have a lot of pocket money, amounts which she would not even dare to think about in the past.
She also had jewelry which she previously could only dream of. And she deserved all of this.
She worked hard to look lively and adorable while at Shi Qingyue and Lt.* Chuan’s side, hoping that they would fall in love with her quickly; and she certainly did it. Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue treated her many times better than they ever did Lu Ning.
However, she had little chance with the Old Master. No matter what she did, the Old Master was always strict with her and had never been easygoing.
She was frustrated, and hated him even more for scolding her in front of so many people without giving her any face.
However, she never once thought that Lu Ning also had to face the same Old Master.
She simply believed that the Old Master was treating her like this because he was dissatisfied with her.
Shi Qingyue looked at the changes in the family and was also dissatisfied with the Old Master’s behavior, but she did not dare to say anything. She could only secretly buy some good things for Lù Yue’an to make her feel better.
When Lù Yue’an looked at the jewelry, bags, and so on, she indeed became a little happier.
As Shi Qingyue saw that she was happy, she heaved a sigh of relief and her own mood also improved a lot.
She had originally thought that they would be able to enjoy the New Year’s happily, now that everyone had finally come back together.
However, after being happy for less than a day, she saw someone who made her uneasy.
That day, she was reading a magazine at home when her phone suddenly rang a few times.
She originally wanted to ignore it, but someone happened to be calling her. After taking her phone, she took a look at the message.
The message came from an unlisted number. However, when Shi Qingyue saw the number, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She instantly stood up.
The servant who was pouring her water was shocked.
“Ma’am?”
He called out carefully.
Shi Qingyue glanced at her, then her expression recovered a little. “I’m fine.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left through the side door.
There were servants weeding the lawn behind the side door.
“There’s no need to do that now. Go and rest.’
The servants were startled. They looked at her and immediately said, “Thank you, Madam.”
Then, they put down their tools and left.. Shi Qingyue gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the back door…
