If it’s the latter, then did my grandmother really have a hand in my mother’s death? "Where’s Grandpa? Why haven’t I seen him? Is he in the cellar?" Lu Zechuan’s mind stirred as he continued to ask, "I’ll go with Mianmian to have a look!" As Lu Zechuan spoke, he took Xia Mian’s hand and walked towards the Shen Family cellar. A flash of panic crossed Murong Shuang’s face, but she forced a smile and blocked Lu Zechuan’s path, "No, your grandfather, went out... went out..." Murong Shuang’s face was somewhat pale, her expression abnormal, an obvious lie. Xia Mian squinted her eyes, opting not to entangle further with Murong Shuang, but instead turned and walked toward the single-story building where Shen Xiang lived. Lu Zechuan followed closely behind. Seeing the direction the two were heading, Murong Shuang’s face changed suddenly, "Ah Chuan, what are you going to do? You just got here, why not rest in the living room first..." Lu Zechuan didn’t look back, "No need, I want to see the place where my mom lived during her lifetime." A trace of urgency surfaced in Murong Shuang’s eyes, "What’s there to see! Didn’t you just see it yesterday?!" The more Murong Shuang tried to stop him, the more suspicious Lu Zechuan felt she had something to hide. He had been to the place Shen Xiang lived not once or twice before, but Murong Shuang never said anything. Why so many words this time? Xia Mian’s steps were swift, and Lu Zechuan followed closely. It didn’t take long before the two stood before the small independent building again. However, unlike yesterday, today’s house had the door wide open. Lu Zechuan didn’t even have to unlock it himself. Inside, it looked much emptier compared to yesterday, many of Shen Xiang’s belongings were gone. Lu Zechuan turned back thoughtfully to glance at Murong Shuang. The forced smile on Murong Shuang’s face almost fell apart, "Ah Chuan, it’s been so many years since your mom’s gone. I was afraid you’d be sad if you saw these things, so..." "So, you just decided on your own to throw them away?" Lu Zechuan’s eyes darkened. Until now, he always thought of his grandmother as a victim as well, also bewitched by Shen Man’s Gu worm, which made her cover for Shen Man. But now, he realized he was wrong. His grandmother being bewitched by Shen Man likely had an element of her own willingness! "Ah Chuan, it’s not what you think..." Murong Shuang tried to explain. But Lu Zechuan no longer wanted to hear her out and followed Xia Mian up the stairs. The closer they got to the second floor, the heavier Xia Mian’s expression became. The last time that man used a blood ritual to escape, severely injuring his vitality, the mark she left on him, he almost had no energy to cover it up. Thus, she could clearly sense that the man was on the second floor, right in Shen Xiang’s bedroom! Xia Mian’s steps halted at the second-floor bedroom door, yet her eyes were on Murong Shuang, "Are you still not planning to tell the truth?" Murong Shuang’s face was deathly pale, "Don’t you guys act recklessly!" Xia Mian lowered her eyes slightly, while Lu Zechuan stepped forward ready to open the bedroom door. However, the bedroom door was locked from the inside. "Grandmother, I’m very disappointed in you!" Lu Zechuan’s voice carried a faint chill, lightly landing in Murong Shuang’s ears. Murong Shuang curled her lips self-deprecatingly, "Ah Chuan, Grandmother didn’t want it to be either!!!" Who would have thought that man, he really succeeded in mastering his skills, his Taoist Techniques were formidable, he could even help her daughter, who should have died young, in Defying Fate?!" Lu Zechuan no longer exchanged empty words with Murong Shuang and turned, kicking at the door. This was his mother’s place, he didn’t want to destroy it, but compared to ruining a door, he didn’t want the place that belonged to his mother to be occupied by that disgusting pair of father and daughter! The door fell with a bang, inside the room lay Gu Xiang weakly on the ground, and on the bed lay Shen Man, face ashen, almost devoid of any life. "Ah Chuan, Grandmother has never asked you for anything, today Grandmother begs you, let him go!" Murong Shuang hurriedly blocked Gu Xiang. She had loved someone, and someone had loved her in her lifetime. She had loved Gu Xiang for ten years, but unfortunately, Gu Xiang was single-mindedly pursuing the Tao, ignoring her. She couldn’t take such neglect, so she left in anger and met Shen Fei, who treated her like a treasure... She originally thought she wouldn’t intersect with Gu Xiang again in this life, but who would’ve thought, when Shen Xiang was abducted, while she and her husband searched the nation without results, instead, it was Shen Man whom she unexpectedly found. Upon seeing Shen Man, Murong Shuang even felt like it was all arranged by fate. She lost one daughter but found another... If Shen Xiang had never come back, everything would have been perfect, but Shen Xiang returned! Vying against Shen Man for attention everywhere, unaware of her place! "Plead with me? Grandmother, do you know what this man did to me?" Lu Zechuan’s eyebrows tightened, his tone was cold, looking at Murong Shuang with deep suspicion. Murong Shuang dared not answer, only pleading incessantly, "Ah Chuan, let him go! He’s already , he poses no threat to you anymore!" Lu Zechuan self-deprecatingly curled his lips, "Let him go? At least give me a reason!" Murong Shuang’s lips tensed, a struggle flashed in her eyes, "Ah Chuan, must you force Grandmother?" Lu Zechuan said nothing, just stared fixedly at Gu Xiang on the ground. Gu Xiang, though conscious, was still very weak, lying on the ground, sensing Lu Zechuan’s deadly stare, his heart skipped a beat. "Ah Chuan! Don’t listen to your grandmother!" A weak yet determined voice came from the stairs, Shen Fei’s face was pale and covered in blood as he walked out from the corridor, "Take this man away!!!" Seeing Shen Fei, his face full of blood, Lu Zechuan’s expression grew solemn, "Grandmother, can you tell me what is going on here?" Panic swept across Murong Shuang’s face, yet she steadfastly shielded Gu Xiang without moving. Back then, she had abandoned Gu Xiang once, now that Gu Xiang had ended up , how could she let him go again... "Ah Chuan, it’s Grandmother’s fault, I shouldn’t have married two men... nor should I have had two daughters..." Murong Shuang’s eyes reddened, tears streaming from her eyes. Murong Shuang spoke pitiably, while Xia Mian gently squinted her eyes. Indeed, Shen Man was Murong Shuang’s biological daughter! If so, with Shen Man using Gu on Murong Shuang, how did Murong Shuang ultimately feel when she chose to forgive Shen Man? "Your mistake wasn’t in marrying two men, but in your indecision and fickleness!" Xia Mian showed no courtesy to Murong Shuang. Since Murong Shuang had already decided to leave Gu Xiang, then she shouldn’t have let Gu Xiang affect her current life with Shen Fei!
