Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Warning Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Warning As time passed, the sky gradually brightened.

When the sunlight streamed through the window, Chu Yixue realized she had been sitting there all night. She stood up unsteadily, her expression becoming resolute.

Now that there were no other options left, she had no choice but to fulfill the white-robed woman’s request.

Even without the white-robed woman, she and Zhong Nianyao were already mortal enemies. Eliminating Zhong Nianyao to achieve everything she had ever dreamt of seemed worth it, didn’t it?

Thinking of this, a deep murderous intent radiated from Chu Yixue’s eyes.

Zhong Nianyao was puzzled about Shen Yixue suddenly becoming Chu Yixue, the Second Lady of the Chu Family. However, this wasn’t related to her for the time being, so she didn’t plan to do anything about it.

The reason it was only for the time being was that she still knew Chu Yixue quite well.

Having become the Second Lady of the Chu Family, Chu Yixue wouldn’t stay quiet and would surely stir up some trouble. When that happened, it would concern her.

However, at this moment, Zhong Nianyao was more focused on the trip to Myanmar. She and Lu Yichen had already boarded the plane to Myanmar.

To be precise, they were on Lu Yichen’s private plane.

There weren’t many people on the private jet, just Lu Yichen, Zhong Nianyao, and a few of Lu Yichen’s subordinates, including Uncle Li and someone named Ai Lun; the others were clearly different from last time.

Zhong Nianyao sat comfortably, tilting her head and looking at Lu Yichen across from her, “Since you have a private jet, why didn’t we use it last time?”

“Last time, driving was more convenient,” Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow and explained leisurely, “That place doesn’t even have a landing strip.”

“Alright then!” Zhong Nianyao shrugged, not minding too much, “But I didn’t expect we’d be going so early! If I remember correctly, Lu Chenran’s wedding was held yesterday! There should still be a lot of ceremonies at your home today!”

Even ordinary families have the bride following along for tea ceremonies and recognizing family members on the day after the wedding. The rituals at the Lu Family would surely be even more complex!

She had originally thought they would leave a few more days later, not that they’d set off directly on the second day.

“The wedding is already over, isn’t it?” Lu Yichen replied, his tone devoid of much emotion, “Whatever customs are left, it’s the matter of the newlywed couple. My presence doesn’t make any difference, does it?”

Zhong Nianyao leaned back in her chair, not saying much but resting her chin on her hand and smiling, “Is there anything fun to do in Myanmar?”

She had been in this world for quite some time and hadn’t really gone out to enjoy herself. She was always busy with fortune-telling and catching ghosts, aggregating justice. Now that her soul had stabilized a lot, since they were going to Myanmar, she planned to really enjoy herself.

Lu Yichen didn’t directly answer Zhong Nianyao’s question but smiled and said, “When we get there, I’ll take you around!”

Zhong Nianyao smiled and didn’t refuse.

After that, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao didn’t continue speaking, but the atmosphere on the plane was quite pleasant.

Contrarily, the atmosphere at the Lu Family was not good at all, even somewhat oppressive.

Today was the second day after the wedding, and naturally, the new bride had to offer tea to the family elders.

Early in the morning, everyone from the Lu Family had already gathered in the living room, even some distant relatives had arrived. However, notably absent was Lu Yichen.

Due to his frail health, Lu Yichen didn’t have much presence in the Lu Family. But in this setting, his absence was particularly conspicuous.

Looking at the empty seat, Old Madam Lu’s complexion was not good.

Early in the morning, Old Master Lu had already said, Lu Yichen was unwell and wouldn’t join today.

However, everyone knew it was just an excuse. Because at yesterday’s wedding, Lu Yichen had shown up. It was evident that, although his complexion was a bit pale, it wasn’t anything serious. How could he suddenly fall ill overnight!

It was clearly just an excuse.

But, since Old Master Lu had said it, whether true or false, this became the fact.

There were many relatives in the Lu Family, and the tea ceremony took quite a while.

When it was over, while everyone else had gone to the dining hall, Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu stayed behind. To be accurate, Old Master Lu had indicated for Old Madam Lu to stay.

“That’s enough,” Old Master Lu’s voice was calm, but the warning in his tone was evident, “On such an occasion, who are you showing that face to? Are you trying to tell the Long Family that you are dissatisfied with this marriage, so you started giving your granddaughter-in-law a cold face on the second day?”

Hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Old Madam Lu was seething with anger.

However, facing Old Master Lu, she naturally didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, but she still couldn’t hold back her frustration, “You know very well who I’m showing this face for. On such a day, what urgent matter could justify his absence? He just doesn’t regard us as family.”

“I’ve already told you before.”

Old Master Lu wasn’t a fool and naturally understood who Old Madam Lu was referring to, “He was absent due to his ill health, which you know–”
“I don’t know,” Old Madam Lu interrupted Old Master Lu before he could finish, “Old Sir, I just don’t understand why you always have to side with him like this. Whether he is unwell or not, you, I, and everyone present today knows very well.”

“He really is unwell, I’ve already said that,” Old Master Lu’s piercing gaze fell on Old Madam Lu, implying something significant, “Also, anyone can call it a lie, but not you. Don’t forget why Yichen’s health deteriorated.”

“You wouldn’t really think you’ve concealed the matters of the past well, would you!”

Old Madam Lu’s face instantly turned pale, her lips trembling, “I… I…”

“Years have passed since the incident, and I wasn’t planning to hold anyone accountable,” Old Master Lu looked at Old Madam Lu, his tone warning, “However, it’s better if you stay out of Yichen’s affairs in the future.”
