I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 391 Lu Erhao's Mistake

"Revenge her?" Lu Yiping was stunned again, her thoughts tangled like a tangled mess.

Her hatred for Wang Xueqin was like a thorn deeply rooted in her heart, and every time she thought about it, it hurt her soul.

It was Wang Xueqin's malicious instigation in front of Lu Zhenhua that forced her and her mother to leave the Lu family and live a hard life in that small, dim rental house, relying on each other for survival.

What made her even more hateful was that Wang Xueqin actually accepted Shen Lang's betrothal money and attempted to marry her to Shen Lang as his concubine. Such behavior undoubtedly completely crushed her life and dignity.

Shen Lang looked solemn and nodded slowly, his tone revealing a certainty: "That's right, if it weren't for Wang Xueqin's obstruction, how could you fall into this situation and become my concubine. And..."

He changed the subject and paused deliberately.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lu Yiping suddenly became suspicious and asked anxiously, "And what? Tell me now!"

Shen Lang sighed slightly, as if hesitating whether to uncover the cruel truth.

He secretly observed Lu Yiping's expression and saw that she was full of anxiety and confusion.

Then he slowly spoke: "Yiping, there are some things I wanted to keep deep in my heart, for fear that you would be sad after hearing them, but now that the words are on the tip of my tongue, I can't bear not to tell you honestly. Do you know what exactly is wrong with Li Keyun's illness?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiping's brows knitted tightly together, her eyes filled with confusion. "What do you mean by that? Do you know the hidden truth?"

Shen Lang nodded solemnly and said, "The root cause of Li Keyun's illness is that she was pregnant with Erhao's child. However, after the child died of illness, Keyun suffered a mental breakdown and became insane..."

"What?" Lu Yiping's eyes suddenly widened, her voice instantly rose, and her body shook uncontrollably, as if hit by a heavy hammer.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and she found it difficult to accept it for a while.

In addition to her love for standing up for others, she has always been concerned about Ke Yun's illness. Another reason why she went to sing was to get Ke Yun's treatment, but Adjutant Li's family refused to tell her the reason.

It turns out that it is related to Lu Erhao. No wonder they always hesitate to speak.

"Are you sure that Ke Yun was pregnant with Er Hao's child?"

At this moment, she completely forgot her previous anger, and her mind was completely occupied by this shocking revelation.

"It's absolutely true." Shen Lang nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on Lu Yiping. "Do you think I would make up such a ridiculous story to lie to you?"

Lu Yiping unconsciously clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white. Her eyes burned with rage, and her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of uncontrollable anger: "So, Adjutant Li's family was driven away because of this incident?"

Shen Lang nodded slightly and continued, "Back then, Wang Xueqin discovered Erhao and Keyun's affair. How could she tolerate a lowly girl being involved with her son?"

"So, while your father was away, Wang Xueqin falsely accused Ke Yun of stealing her pearl necklace. She also wantonly mocked the Li family for being dependent on the Lu family and wanting to take any valuables they saw. Adjutant Li, a man of integrity, could not tolerate such humiliation. For the sake of his family's reputation, he had no choice but to take his family and leave."

"What a vicious woman!" Lu Yiping gritted her teeth, her voice squeezing out from between her teeth.

Although she had long known that Wang Xueqin was cruel and ruthless and had ill intentions towards her and her daughter, she had never expected that her methods would be so cruel that she would not even spare the loyal Adjutant Li and his family.

Shen Lang struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Also, when she accepted my betrothal gift and wanted to marry you off as my concubine, wasn't that another sinister plot? She wanted to use this incident to severely attack you and your mother, making you lose face in front of everyone and lose all dignity."

Lu Yiping's lips trembled violently, and the hatred in her heart was like a surging tide, one wave after another, almost drowning her.

"I will never let this vicious woman off easily! I will make her pay a heavy price for her actions!"

Shen Lang looked at Lu Yiping, who was blinded by anger, and immediately put on a look of concern on his face: "Yiping, if you need help, I will definitely help you."

Lu Yiping took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. After calming down her emotions, she said, "You're not a good person either. There's no need to help me."

"What do you mean I'm not a good person?" Shen Lang frowned. "I told you such a secret matter, and you actually said I'm not a good person? I originally thought we had feelings for each other."

"Relationships are based on mutual understanding. If you don't understand me at all, what kind of relationship are we talking about? Why do I have to resonate with you, and you don't resonate with me?" Lu Yeping responded without giving in.

Shen Lang said, "Okay, let's not talk about feelings. Where's your humanity?" Hearing this, Lu Yiping laughed in anger: "I don't have humanity? Do you have humanity?"

"Sorry, I don't." Shen Lang said bluntly, "Just because I'm inhumane, do you have to be inhumane too? I have no morals, so don't even think about pointing fingers at me morally."

Lu Yiping didn't want to talk to him for a moment and said, "It's very late now. I need to go home, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured about my mother."

"Don't worry, I will arrange someone to see her." Shen Lang said.

Lu Yiping snorted again: "Are you protecting her or monitoring her?"

"Of course it's to protect her. She's just an ordinary woman. Why would I need to monitor her?" Shen Lang asked doubtfully.

"I was only trying to fulfill Wang Xueqin's request. I'm a man of integrity." Shen Lang said, "If you want to hate someone, then hate Wang Xueqin."

Lu Yiping stayed in the hotel all night and went downstairs exhausted the next day.

She gnashed her teeth and said to Shen Lang: "I hate you, hate you, hate you!"

"I thought you said you loved me." Shen Lang smiled slightly, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Lu Yiping said coldly: "No, I have my own feet."

As he said this, he stopped a rickshaw on the side of the road.

Several rickshaws quickly gathered around, and the drivers rushed to say:
"Miss, where are you going?"

"Miss, I'm strong and can pull steadily. Choose my car."

"Choose mine..."

It seemed that the drivers were about to fight.

A voice called out from the side: "Miss Yiping."

Then someone came over pulling a rickshaw.

Lu Yiping's eyes lit up when she saw him: "Adjutant Li, Adjutant Li..."

She was about to walk towards Adjutant Li when someone shouted, "Everyone, please disperse. This is Mr. Shen Lang's guest. Mr. Shen will personally escort this young lady back."

Upon hearing that it was Shen Lang's guest, the coachmen turned around and left.

Adjutant Li asked doubtfully, "Miss Yiping, do you really not need me to send you off?"

"I..." Lu Yiping had just said one word.

He interrupted Shen Lang: "Adjutant Li, Yiping said she wanted to take me to see Ke Yun's illness, please make arrangements."

Lu Yiping frowned: "Who wants to go with you to see Ke Yun's illness? Adjutant Li still has to pull the cart today, so he has no time to entertain you."

Adjutant Li looked at the two of them in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Shen Lang asked, "Adjutant Li, can you earn twenty dollars a day?"

"Oh, how is that possible?" Adjutant Li said immediately, "Pulling a cart is just hard-earned money. A few dollars a day is a blessing from heaven."

"Okay, today, Boss Shen will show some mercy." Shen Lang threw him twenty dollars and said, "You don't have to pull the cart today."

Lieutenant Li's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt like he was dreaming...
