Lian Rongrong stared in shock at Xiao Liu and Chun Tao, who were supporting her, and couldn't help but shout:

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Liu smiled with relief, but it was the most desolate smile Lian Rongrong had ever seen from him.

"Miss, if it weren't for you, Xiao Liu would have died long ago."

Since my life was given to me by Miss, how could I, Xiao Liu, stand idly by when Miss is in trouble!

"This life should be returned to the young lady!"

Lian Rongrong looked around at everyone and saw that her elder brother and sister-in-law, grandmother and mother, and even Lian Xiuyan and Wang Yangwenhui had been lifted up by the guards and maids!

Lian Rongrong's eyes instantly welled up with tears!

"I don't want your lives." Lian Rongrong used her feet to lightly push off and leaped up the tree.

She hooked her feet onto a tree branch, tightly binding Fu Bao to her back, and then stretched out her hands, pulling Xiao Liu and Chun Tao to her left and right.

Lian Yijun and Lin Chuyue made the same choice.

However, the mudslide came too fast; before they could pull people up the trees, the mud had already rolled down.

In the blink of an eye, the guards and maids at the bottom were already submerged in the mud and water.

"Xiao Liu, Chun Tao, don't let go!"

Lian Rongrong struggled to hold onto the two people, but their weight was too great, and with the impact of the mudslide, Lian Rongrong felt that their bodies were constantly sliding downwards.

Seeing that even Rongrong herself was about to give up, Xiao Liu resolutely let go of her hand.

"No! Xiao Liu, no!" Lian Rongrong screamed hysterically, completely ignoring the fact that her feet, which were hooked on the tree branch, were gradually loosening.

Chun Tao was already in tears. She looked at Lian Rongrong with reluctance and said in a choked voice:

“Miss, if there is an afterlife, Chuntao will still be your maid.”

After saying that, Chuntao resolutely let go of her hand!

"No! Chuntao! No!"

Watching Xiao Liu and Chun Tao's bodies disappear into the mud, Lian Rongrong was filled with despair.

Xiao Liu's smiling face and Chun Tao's confused look seem to be right in front of her, but Lian Rongrong knows that they will never be able to come back!

At the last moment before the mudslide arrived, even the mother and the old lady were finally pushed onto the lowest tree by the crowd.

Lian Xiuyan and Wang Yang are safe for now. Only Wen Hui is one step away from safety!

After the mudslide, only eight people from the Lian family remained out of the group of twenty-odd.

Lian Rongrong and her son, Lin Chuyue and her daughter, Lian Xiuyan and Wang Yang, as well as the old lady and Lian's mother.

"Where's my older brother?" After calming down, Lian Rongrong suddenly realized that her older brother, Lian Yijun, had also disappeared!

Lin Chuyue, holding her daughter, sat on the tree with vacant eyes, murmuring:

"Just now, Wenhui cried for help, your older brother..."

Before Lin Chuyue could finish speaking, tears were already falling.

Lian Rongrong felt her head spinning, and for a moment she felt like she was about to faint!

How could she forget? The entire Lian family, from top to bottom, felt they owed Lian Xiuyan and Wen Hui something.

When faced with life and death, even family members would choose to sacrifice themselves to save the orphans of the Wang and Wen families.

My father was like that when the avalanche happened, and now my brother is like that when the mudslide happened.

Lian Rongrong understood their feelings, but still couldn't comprehend their sacrifice.

After all, Wang Yue wasn't worth it, and Wen Hui was even less worthy.

"Help! Get me down here! My leg is cramping!"

Just as Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue were filled with tears and despair, Lian Xiuyan, who was in a tree not far away, suddenly started wailing.

Lian Xiuyan clung tightly to the tree trunk, her legs clamped tightly together, her right cheek pressed against the tree, as if afraid of falling off.

She seemed oblivious to how many lives a mudslide had taken, or perhaps she simply didn't care how many lives the disaster had claimed!

Lian Xiuyan's howling annoyed Lian Rongrong. With a light leap, Lian Rongrong landed firmly on the muddy ground.

Before Lian Xiuyan could react, Lian Rongrong grabbed her ankle and pulled her down!

Lian Xiuyan's body crashed heavily to the ground, her bones feeling as if they were about to shatter.

The pebbles on the ground scratched several bloody marks on Lian Xiuyan's face, but the pain from the scrapes was nothing compared to the fall from the tree!

"Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?" Lian Xiuyan continued to yell.

But the next second, Lian Rongrong grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.

"Lian Xiuyan, do you know that if the ring hadn't been lost, they wouldn't have died!"

It's all your fault! You killed Xiao Liu, Chen Si, Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, and even Big Brother!

Why wasn't it you who died, you wicked person! Why!

Lian Rongrong's emotions shifted from extreme sadness to boundless anger. She shoved Lian Xiuyan hard and then drew her long sword from her waist.

The longsword was pressed against Lian Xiuyan's throat. Seeing that Lian Rongrong was about to get serious, Lian Xiuyan immediately begged for mercy:

"It wasn't me! Rong'er, it really wasn't me!"

"Not you?" Lian Rongrong's longsword drew closer again, her right hand holding the sword trembling uncontrollably.

"If it really wasn't you, then tell me, why have you been so attentive to me for the past month?"

Also, why do you keep coming to my sister-in-law's and my place?

Lien Hsiu-yen, I am not one of them, and I don't believe you have truly reformed.

In my opinion, someone like you is just a leopard that can't change its spots!

As the cold, gleaming sword drew ever closer, Lian Xiuyan felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

She dared not hide anything anymore, fearing that Lian Rongrong might take her life at any moment.

"It was Wenhui, it was Wenhui who made me do this! She said that the amber ring could absorb other people's luck."

The reason you've been able to live such a smooth life even after being divorced is all because of that precious ring.

She said that if I get the ring, I'll get your luck.

"What did you say? It really is you?" The old lady and Lian's mother appeared behind Lian Xiuyan.

Seeing Lian Rongrong draw her sword against Lian Xiuyan, Wang Yang knew he couldn't stop her, so he immediately pulled the old lady and Lian's mother down from the tree.

Before the old lady could stop Lian Rongrong, she heard Lian Xiuyan admit that the ring incident was indeed related to her!

"You scoundrel!" The old lady slapped Lian Xiuyan across the face.

Lian Xiuyan collapsed to the side, while the old lady, tears streaming down her face, beat her chest and stamped her feet, saying:

"It's all my fault for being so senile, I even tried to stop Sanya for you! I've harmed so many people!"

My dear Jun'er, my good grandson! Grandmother is so sorry!

"Mom, I really didn't take the ring. I was just trying to please everyone and Rongrong as Wenhui told me, but I didn't have time to make a move."

"It must be that bitch Wenhui, she must have taken the ring!"

Seeing her mother's fury, Lian Xiuyan panicked. She knew that everyone present, except her son Wang Yang and her mother, wished her dead.

After all, Lian Yijun and the rest of the people were all her closest blood relatives. If Lian Yijun died, Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue would definitely want her to pay with her life.

Lien Soo-yeon didn't want to die, so she could only place her hopes on her elderly mother.

"Even if it wasn't you, San Yatou repeatedly questioned you, why didn't you tell her?"

I cherish you because you were widowed at a young age and your husband died for Jinghuai. I spoiled you and indulged you, but I never expected you to become like this!

"Your life or death is now in San Ya Tou's hands; I will not ask a single question!"

The old lady turned her back and stopped looking at Lian Xiuyan, while Lian Rongrong approached Lian Xiuyan step by step.

The longsword rose, but when it fell, it emitted a metallic clanging sound.
