If her guess is right, then the person who has always wanted Lu Zechuan dead is... Murong Shuang?! Murong Shuang faced Lu Zechuan with those cold eyes, not feeling even slightly at fault, "Yes, she’s not! My Ah Xiang died at birth in the hospital. Shen Fei, afraid I’d be heartbroken, fetched a child from somewhere, lied saying it was mine!" "I gave birth; how could I forget? My Ah Xiang was born with a plum blossom birthmark on her wrist, the impostor Shen Fei brought had none!!!" Murong Shuang was somewhat agitated. All these years, she’d fallen too deep into play, always wanting to act as a gentle and virtuous high-class lady, always wanting to display a facade of happiness before others, yet knowingly deceived, she had to feign ignorance. But the child, she was quite eerie!!! Murong Shuang still remembers even now; when Shen Xiang was little and went with her to plant flowers, the flowers touched by Shen Xiang bloomed regardless of seasons!! The fruits she touched ripened quickly! Murong Shuang was scared witless witnessing this scene. Shen Fei fetched her a freak! Later, Shen Xiang was lost by the nanny. She only made a minor fuss over it, fined the nanny a month’s salary, and then dismissed her. Afterward, she was plagued by nightmares, waking up in fright each night. The missing Shen Xiang became her inner demon. She had no choice but to once more feign a loving mother’s image to search for Shen Xiang... Round and round, she found Shen Man instead. If Shen Xiang had not been brought back and with Shen Man by her side, she would still be a blissful, noble high-class lady! Why did Shen Xiang have to be brought back?! Murong Shuang appeared frantic and mad; her movements startled the unconscious Gu Xiang lying on the ground. Opening his eyes, he saw Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan blocking the door, his face instantly covered with gloom. Xia Mian, this woman, indeed is the yin soul that won’t leave! "Ah Shuang..." Gu Xiang weakly called out. Murong Shuang awoke as if from a dream, suddenly turned back, looked towards Gu Xiang, "Brother Xiang, you’re awake, you’ve finally awoken!" Murong Shuang felt wronged, having lived over half her life, already half buried in the ground, yet in her life’s latter half because of the man before her, her reputation was ruined! Gu Xiang’s face was pale, his gaze deeply fixed on Xia Mian, "I didn’t change the Lu family’s young master’s fate." Xia Mian let out a small laugh, "I know." Lu Zechuan had a special fate; Gu Xiang’s skills couldn’t alter Lu Zechuan’s fortune. "I haven’t done anything to harm you; please be magnanimous and spare us!" Gu Xiang half-reclined, leaning against the bed. Xia Mian pulled her lips slightly, sneering, "Haven’t done anything to harm us?" Gu Xiang was silent for a moment, "I have already suffered backlash, my abilities completely destroyed." "That’s your own doing, what does it have to do with me?" Xia Mian squinted her eyes, lightly raising her hand. Her fingers were fair and slender, lightly pointing towards Gu Xiang, "Those who do evil shall not live. Accept your fate!" Gu Xiang’s face instantly turned ashen. The moment Xia Mian’s finger pointed at Gu Xiang, he felt a strong pull. It was as if something was pulling at his soul. "Ah Shuang!!!" Gu Xiang screamed in agony. Murong Shuang rushed to him, her expression flustered, "Brother Xiang, what’s wrong with you?" Xia Mian didn’t spare another glance at the people in the room, holding Lu Zechuan’s hand gently and turned to leave. Gu Xiang’s death was inevitable; without him to extend their lives, Shen Man’s death would only be a matter of time as well. The harm they wrought on others was their undoing. Gu Xiang and Shen Man, father and daughter, ultimately received the retribution they deserved. Leaving the solitary house once inhabited by Shen Xiang, Lu Zechuan’s complexion was still unfavorable. If Xia Mian’s guess is true, that Grandma orchestrated it all, then what does his mother’s death count for? A breeze blew downstairs, making Lu Zechuan feel cold all over. He didn’t know what mindset Shen Fei had when he took back Shen Xiang, nor did he know why Murong Shuang deliberately lost Shen Xiang, then after her death arranged Shen Man to marry into the Lu family. He only felt it was unfair to his mother. "If you’re unhappy, you can shout it out." Xia Mian’s voice was soft and gentle, ringing in Lu Zechuan’s ear. It carried a magical, comforting power. "Mianmian, should I hate her?" Lu Zechuan lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with melancholy. Xia Mian didn’t reply, "We don’t have the right to forgive anyone on behalf of the victim." Lu Zechuan raised his head, turned to glance back at the solitary house. Gu Xiang will die, Shen Man will die, it could be seen as someone paying for his mother’s suffering, he should let go, but he just can’t let go! "Do you want to see your mother?" Xia Mian was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke, "I can find a way to let you see her." Lu Zechuan’s eyes grew deep, his gaze complexly landed on Xia Mian, "No need." Having known Xia Mian for so long, and only now did she mention having a way to see his mother, it was imaginable that the method Xia Mian spoke of must be harmful to her. The deceased are gone; he didn’t want to see the dead at the cost of even a slight harm to Xia Mian. Xia Mian slightly lifted her lips, "Let’s go see Mr. Shen, he got hurt before." Lu Zechuan hummed in agreement, regardless of how Murong Shuang is as a person, Shen Fei did treat his mother quite well. Shortly after Lu Zechuan left, Murong Shuang came out from the small building. In just half an hour, Murong Shuang seemed to have aged ten years instantly. The once graceful and noble face was now full of age and exhaustion, her eyes lifeless, her heart like dead ashes. "Miss Murong." Xia Mian turned, her gaze deep, "It was you who altered Lu Zechuan’s fate, wasn’t it?" Murong Shuang abruptly raised her head and glared at Xia Mian, "What exactly do you want?! Haven’t you made me suffer enough?!" Without Xia Mian, everything would still be veiled by an aura of tranquility and modesty, yet since Xia Mian’s appearance, she tore away the carefully pulled up veil so recklessly! "What do I want?" Xia Mian lightly raised an eyebrow, "You’ve already killed Shen Xiang; now you want to kill Shen Xiang’s child as well. This viciousness, isn’t this too much of a toxic way?" Shen Xiang did nothing wrong, yet she was despised and abandoned by Murong Shuang, and even after her death, became a stepping stone for Shen Man! How innocent Shen Xiang was, why should she meet such an end? "Shut your mouth!" Murong Shuang bared ferocious eyes, where was the slightest kindness, "Who the hell are you? Lu Family’s matters aren’t for you to meddle in!" Xia Mian slightly squinted her eyes, laughed, "I am Lu Zechuan’s fiancée, aren’t I? Shen Xiang’s daughter-in-law, seeking justice for my future mother-in-law, is that not allowed?" Murong Shuang’s gaze was fixed firmly on Xia Mian, "Shen Xiang was a freak, and so are you! All you freaks deserve to die!!!"
