She remembered clearly that Su Qiong called her into the courtyard and asked her to kneel on the ground. Su Qiong looked down at her and told her that she was the matriarch of this mansion. She was the one who bought her freedom. If she could buy her freedom, she could take it away as well.

Concubine Yun put away her dignity and knelt down, but from that moment on she understood how useless Lu Shiming was.

Concubine Yun looked at Su Qiong coldly and raised her eyebrows. “You don’t want to kneel? Right, you are high and mighty. How can you kneel to a cheap woman like me? It’s fine if you don’t want to kneel. I’m known for being tough. Madam, you can try and torture me to see if I will tell you where your son is. But I’m afraid your son can’t stand being tortured for that long.”

Concubine Yun looked at Lu Ranran and smiled mockingly. “Madam, you can also threaten me with Second Miss to see if I care.”

Su Qiong gritted her teeth. She had never hated someone so much. At this moment, she wished she could cut her into pieces.

Lu Shiming stood up. Since the matter had been exposed, he did not need to pretend anymore. “Su Qiong, your son or the family business, choose one.”

Su Qiong clenched her fists tightly. Her nails pierced her palms, but she did not seem to feel any pain.

Liu Sanniang walked to her side without her noticing. She held Su Qiong’s hand and said, “Madam, you don’t have to make any choice. Everything belongs to you. Why do you have to make a choice?”

Su Qiong looked at Liu Sanniang with tears in her eyes. “Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Lu Shiming looked at Liu Sanniang and walked over angrily. Just as he raised his fist, he felt a sharp pain in his knee. Before he could hit her, he knelt on the ground.

Liu Sanniang said to Chu Yan, “Thank you.”

Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled. “You’re welcome. My responsibility is to protect you.”

He would not show mercy to anyone who wanted to hurt her.

Therefore, when Lu Shiming wanted to hit Liu Sanniang, he kicked Lu Shiming’s knee ruthlessly.

Lu Shiming curled up on the ground like a shrimp. He was in so much pain that he could not even scream.

Concubine Yun frowned. “Who are you? I warn you to stay out of this matter. Otherwise…”

Liu Sanniang interrupted. “Otherwise what?”

Concubine Yun didn’t know what to say. She could threaten Su Qiong because Lu Run was in her hands, but she couldn’t threaten Liu Sanniang. She didn’t even know who Liu Sanniang was. She only knew that she and Chu Yan were masters invited over by Su Qiong, but how could a master be so young? She didn’t take Liu Sanniang seriously.

But now, she was a little annoyed that Liu Sanniang wanted to be a busybody.

Concubine Yun did not speak, but Liu Sanniang smiled. “You’re ambitious. From your face, I can tell you have a strong desire to control. You definitely can’t tolerate someone better than you to be above you, let alone someone stupider than you. If you really get the Su family business, the first thing you will do is to get rid of all the idiots. It doesn’t make a difference if the family business is in Lu Shiming’s hands or Su Qiong, you just want it to be in your hands.”

Face reading was an extremely arcane mystic technique. Liu Sanniang only had a preliminary understanding of it. However, at a glance, Liu Sanniang could tell that Concubine Yun was an extremely ambitious person. How could such a person be willing to give power to Lu Shiming?

Therefore, Lu Shiming was just a pawn in her plan.

Concubine Yun widened her eyes. She did not lose her composure but immediately said, “Do you think a few words can make Master suspect me? Master and I have been together for many years. I’m not his enemy. Su Qiong is! She’s already married to Master, but she still treats him as an outsider. If not for that, why would he take in so many concubines?”

Lu Shiming hugged his knees and looked at Su Qiong with hatred. “Yue is right. If not for the fact that you never trusted me and didn’t treat me as a family, I wouldn’t have broken my promise and would have stayed loyal to you as I’ve promised on our wedding day.”

Su Qiong gritted her teeth. She felt that she was an idiot. Why did she tolerate Lu Shiming all these years? If she had kicked him out back then, she wouldn’t need to suffer so much.

Liu Sanniang sneered. “Master Lu, your words are even more ridiculous. You’re not any better than Concubine Yun. You want the Su family’s business because your pocket is always empty. You are angry with Madam simply because she didn’t do what you wanted. You didn’t break your promise because it was fake to begin with.”

Lu Shiming said that Su Qiong didn’t treat him as a family, didn’t trust him, and didn’t love him. However, all these were just something he made up to justify his betrayal of her.

Su Qiong looked at Liu Sanniang with gratitude. She felt that Liu Sanniang had hit the nail on the head. She heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling like she was in the depth of a mountain filled with fresh air.

Lu Shiming’s face was red. It was unknown whether it was from pain or anger.

Zhu Changyuan was shocked by Liu Sanniang’s words. He seriously sized up Liu Sanniang. It turned out that she was a hidden master.

From the expressions of Concubine Yun and Lu Shiming, he could tell that Liu Sanniang had poked on their sore spots.

Concubine Yun gritted her teeth. “Hehe, so what? Her son’s life is in my hands now. If I don’t say where he is, no one will know. Even if Lu Run won’t die for the time being, he’s seriously ill. How many days can he last?”

She then glared at Liu Sanniang. Since her disguise had been torn off, she decided not to pretend anymore. Liu Sanniang was right. She did not intend to share the power with Lu Shiming. He was not worthy of it.

Looking at Concubine Yun with indifference, Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Let me tell you something just so you know. Reading faces is something I have learned recently. What I’m really good at is reading minds.”
