I think my luck is turning around.

Chapter 234 recounts the events of that time.

After Ji Xia and her group left, Ji Ran strictly kept her distance from the people of the Su family, and arranged to meet Lan Hui at Qingshan Temple in the capital city.

Lan Hui even stayed at Qingshan Temple, meditating there for a whole month, which even the Su family found unusual. It was also at the dinner table that Su Han brought up his mother's matter.

"Brother~ I'm going to Qingshan Temple tomorrow. Mother has been gone for a month now, and I miss her."

Su Han's voice rang out, sweet and cloying. Upon hearing this, Su Guan immediately denied it. He knew his mother's longing lay at Qingshan Temple, and if Su Han went there, it would only complicate matters.

"No! Mother is meditating now, so let's not disturb her."

In truth, everyone in the family knew about Lan Hui's coldness towards Su Han, but Su Han didn't care. She had to get close to Lan Hui, even though she was pushed away time and time again. She was the true only daughter of the Su family, and she absolutely couldn't let anyone know the inside story.

"I don't care, I just miss my mother. Even if I can't see her, I'll be happy if we're closer."

The tone of these words was so conciliatory that Su Su was speechless. How could he refuse? The next day, Su Han took a carriage to Qingshan Temple, while Su Su rode a fast horse and arrived at Qingshan Temple first. It was Su Su's early arrival that made him point out that something was wrong with Su Han, and Lan Hui took precautions in advance.

However, in the past two weeks, Su Han has frequently appeared at Qingshan Temple, saying that she misses her mother. But after seeing Ji Ran worshipping Buddha at Qingshan Temple, she looked at the face that resembled Lan Hui's and guessed a lot. Even if she was wrong, she could not let it go.

She was the only daughter of the Su family and could not be threatened by anyone. Su Han had originally intended to hire a wandering ghost, but upon hearing that the arrest was being carried out at Qingshan Temple, and seeing the portrait unfold before her—who didn't know the person in the picture! The most talented woman in the world!

The agent, Liu Zai, also refused outright. Who was Ji Ran? What was Qingshan Temple? If Ye Gui went there, he would be standing against the Ji family. Even if the boss didn't kill him, Mr. Ji would tear him to pieces!

Liu Zai's refusal made Su Han realize he had to take matters into his own hands. So he simply hired another assassin, figuring someone would do it for money. Su Han then arranged for someone to kidnap Ji Ran, who had just arrived at Qingshan Temple, and take her to a dilapidated house in the mountains.

Lan Hui waited for a long time but her daughter did not arrive. However, when she saw Yan Yu standing at the door looking around, Lan Hui knew that he was also a member of the Ji family, so she went up to ask him.

After exchanging information, Lan Hui and Yan Yu both issued orders to begin searching for the person. On Su Han's side, Ji Ran was already tied up. Su Han looked at that face; at first, she hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it, but now it seemed that was the biggest problem!

She looked exactly like her mother, and also like her father. Su Han herself only resembled her father a little; the resemblance to her mother was less pronounced, except perhaps in their eyes. Su Han hated this face, so she pulled out a dagger and slashed Ji Ran's face several times, drawing blood. Ji Ran cried out in pain, a sound that excited Su Han. Perhaps driven by rage, Su Han left multiple knife wounds on Ji Ran's face.

The people from the Ji family were organized and quickly found their way here. The painful screams immediately told them that the situation inside was unusual.

"You heartless bastard, why did you do this to me!"

"Your face is so disgusting, it should be ruined. Or we could try a different method; those people outside probably like a pitiful little girl like you."

The implication was obvious. Ji Ran didn't panic. She already knew who the other person was. Even though she was blindfolded, she knew whose voice it was.

"Su Han! This is a crime! You're courting death, and the entire Su family's downfall!"

Despite being implicated in the Su family, Su Han remained completely calm, simply adding another scratch to Ji Ran's face.

"You won't even live to see that day, how would you know it was me?"

Then, without hesitation, Su Han stabbed Ji Ran in the left side, the dagger plunging directly into her heart. She watched as Ji Ran struggled in front of her, but the commotion outside continued. Su Han didn't panic; instead, she pulled out the dagger and stabbed herself several times in the arm.

Before they broke down the door, he lay on the floor, his hair disheveled.
