Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Qingqing pursed her lips. “Mother, I’ll take my leave first.”
She was still uncomfortable. She had never been on good terms with Su Qiong in the past ten years. Ever since she could remember, everything she did was wrong. Su Qiong had no patience with her because she loved Lu Ranran more.
Now that suddenly Lu Ranran’s identity had been exposed and Lu Run became her younger brother, she was not used to it.
Actually, they all needed time to get used to it.
Lu Shiming was still refusing to divorce her. He thought that if he didn’t agree, he would always remain Master Lu. However, after the government settled the divorce case, Lu Shiming and Lu Ranran were released.
Lu Ranran slowly walked into the crowd and quickly disappeared.
Lu Shiming’s leg had been treated, but he still could not walk on his own yet. He held his walking stick and returned to that familiar place. The plaque that read ‘The Lu Mansion’ had been taken down.
The plaque that said ‘The Su Mansion’, which had been taken down in the past, was hung up again.
As for Lu Qingqing and Lu Run, they had also changed their surnames to Su.
Lu Shiming shouted outside the door for a long time before leaving. When he passed by the street, he heard people discussing. He could only limp his way out of the city.
At this point, he was all by himself and no one cared about him.
Lu Shiming was resentful. When he was Master Lu, people mocked him for being weak and powerless.
Now that he was no longer Master Lu, people mocked him for not knowing what was good for him. How ironic!

Lu Qingqing was not dissatisfied with the change of surname. What she was worried about now was the bad romantic encounter that Liu Sanniang mentioned. She just wanted to avoid it. She did not want to be plagued by this bad romantic encounter for the rest of her life. She wanted a good marriage.
However, when would this bad romantic encounter appear?
Qin Lin was a commoner and his family was ordinary. When Lu Qingqing came to look for Qin Lin, he put down his work and came out.
He smiled at Lu Qingqing. “Qingqing, can you not bring someone else with you when you come next time?”
When Qin Lin said this, he was staring at Lu Zhen.
He and Lu Qingqing had feelings for each other. However, with Lu Zhen around, staring at him all the time, he felt uncomfortable.
Lu Qingqing looked at Lu Zhen. He was her guard and had always protected her. He did not like to talk. Most of the time, Lu Qingqing treated him as if he did not exist.
When Qin Lin mentioned it, she glanced at Lu Zhen who was expressionless. Lu Qingqing nudged him. “Lu Zhen, go back. Don’t follow me around.”
Lu Zhen did not move though. He looked at Qin Lin with a dark gaze.
Qin Lin looked at Lu Zhen and then at Lu Qingqing. “Forget it, Qingqing. Why are you looking for me?”
Lu Qingqing said, “I want to ask you something. Do you want to marry me? My mother wants to see you. Come to my house.”
Qin Lin’s eyes lit up. “Qingqing, did your mother agree for us to be together? That’s great. I definitely won’t disappoint her.”
Lu Qingqing looked at Qin Lin’s sparkling eyes and nodded. “If you have nothing to do now, come with me.”
Qin Lin nodded with excitement. He was more glib-tongued than Lu Zhen and would do whatever Lu Qingqing liked.
When Su Qiong saw Qin Lin, she still didn’t like him.
She felt that Qin Lin’s smile was too fake. Lu Qingqing was young and couldn’t understand that, but she could see it clearly.
No matter how much Qin Lin pretended, he could not hide the greed in his eyes. He looked at the items in the mansion with greed. However, when he looked at Lu Qingqing, he portrayed that sincere look again.
Su Qiong’s attitude was a little cold. “Qin Lin, if you want to marry my daughter, I have two requests. If you can do it, I’ll agree.”
Qin Lin stopped smiling and became serious. “Madam, I am an ordinary person. I know that I’m not worthy of your daughter, but I’ll try all I can to give Qingqing a good life.”
Lu Qingqing nodded. “I don’t need you to be ambitious or have high achievements as long as you treat me sincerely.”
Su Qiong said that the family business would be split into two. Half of it would be enough for her to live a rich life for a few lifetimes. Therefore, it did not matter how much Qin Lin could make.
Qin Lin looked at Lu Qingqing and smiled. “I only have eyes for you.”
Su Qiong interrupted, “In that case, you can work in the mansion. In the future, I’ll leave the family business to you two. Although you’re not young anymore, it’s not too late to learn. You’ll work hard for Qingqing, right?”
Qin Lin knelt down and kowtowed to Su Qiong. “Madam, don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
Lu Qingqing was also happy.
Su Qiong continued calmly. “But I’ll say this first. You and Qingqing are not married yet, so I won’t give you any privileges. If you’re lazy and cunning, I won’t tolerate you and won’t agree to this marriage.”
Qin Lin nodded. “Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll definitely work hard.”
Su Qiong waved her hand. “You two can leave. Lu Zhen, stay.”
Lu Zhen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Su Qiong sighed. “Lu Zhen, you’re holding it back for too long. If you don’t tell her, Qingqing will never know.”
Lu Zhen lowered his eyes. “Thank you for your advice, Madam. I understand.”
Lu Zhen wanted to find an opportunity, but Qin Lin was not stupid and did not give him the chance. He always wanted Lu Qingqing to be with him. Lu Qingqing was also willing to do so. She had been well-read since young and was willing to share with Qin Lin what she knew.
Lu Zhen was still protecting Lu Qingqing, but he had already become an invisible existence to the two of them.
Qin Lin did not know how to settle accounts and was scolded by the shopkeeper but Lu Qingqing was like an old hen protective of her child. The shopkeeper could scold Qin Lin, but not Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing comforted Qin Lin when he was down. “It’s fine if you can’t do it now. You still have me, right? I know everything. It’s not your fault.”
Qin Lin sighed. “It’s all my fault for being too useless. I wanted your mother to think highly of me, but these account books look too abstruse to me. Qingqing, I don’t want to be like this. I hope I can be worthy of you and make you proud of me. I don’t want to hide behind you for the rest of my life and be afraid that you will abandon me or get tired of me.”
