Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 252 Irritation

In this month, there was another one who lived extremely comfortably besides Su Li. That was the original head of the Hehuan Sect, Qu Lu.

Leaning against the stair of the third floor and seeing the customers and servers in the inn, Qu Lu looked much more relaxed and unrestrained.

People of the Linli Building didn’t go back on their words. During this month they didn’t ask her to do anything. Qu Qingning brought her the antidote to the Hongchen Powder yesterday. And it’s amazing that the severe poison in her body for many years was eliminated at once.

“In spite of the wide range of knowledge, Mr. Li couldn’t get rid of the poison so fast. The antidote must be really unusual.”

Qu Lu sighed and guessed. The lives of people were worthless. Though she wanted to value herself, she knew the antidote that “Mr. Li” used was more valuable than her.

“Such a big favor. Mr. Li didn’t talk about it. I used to worry that he would go back on his words. So I was wrong to judge a gentleman by my narrow heart.”

Qu Lu gave a rueful smile. At this moment, Fang Ling went upstairs with a tray. “What are you doing, Sister Qu? It’s time to take medicine.”

Qu Lu held the bowl quickly. She smiled, “Thank you, Fang Ling.”

The effect of the medicine was strong. Qu Lu was inevitably harmed by the antidote. The medicine that Fang Ling gave her was exactly to recover her body.

“My pleasure!”

Fang Ling shook her head. Seeing Qu Lu drink it over, she took the bowl to go downstairs. Qu Lu spoke behind her.

“Wait, Miss Fang Ling.”

“Anything else? Sister Qu.”

Fang Ling turned around with doubt. Qu Lu went to her and asked, “Do you know the raw material of the antidote?”

Fang Ling answered without thinking, “Sister Qu, you got me. Mr. Li used a variety of herbs to make it. I don’t know how it was produced.”

Qu Lu knew what Fang Ling would say, but she didn’t show her disappointment.

Fang Ling frowned and thought of what her brother told her. She intentionally said with a deep voice, “The formula was a secret of Mr. Li. It’s wrong to enquire about it. But I saw my brother give one thing to Mr. Li when Mr. Li produced it!”

Qu Lu was excited and asked at once, “What’s that?”

“Full Moon and Heart Strings!”

“What?!”

Fang Ling replied firmly. Qu Lu was scared to death. She opened her eyes widely.

Mr. Li should let her eat the thing which caused great blood-shed?!

“Oh no, I was wrong. It’s a shell of the Full Moon and Heart Strings.” Fang Ling added with a smile. “According to my brother, Mr. Li gave up much to peel down a shell for you.”

Qu Lu was amazed, and mixed feelings came to her.

She believed Fang Ling’s words.

Previously she was an old member of the Hehuan Sect, so she knew that the Full Moon and Heart Strings wouldn’t be entire once it was damaged.

Mr. Li had given up Immortals’ Place for the promise?

Qu Lu felt extremely guilty, and she was in a trance for a long time.

Fang Ling was slightly shocked when she saw Qu Lu’s reaction. She realized she was exaggerating.

“What are you doing?”

Hearing the helpless voice, Fang Ling saw Su Li dressed in indigo clothes, but she wasn’t surprised. Su Li had always come to the Linli Building since Su Yue was pregnant. Fang Ling felt embarrassed and ran away.

She wanted to make Qu Lu feel guilty!

Neither she nor her brother liked Qu Lu.

Qu Lu came to the Linli Building for a deal, but her mind was so narrow. She was always suspicious, and she must be uncomfortable.

Seeing Fang Ling leaving, Su Li shook her head slightly. Fang Ling didn’t dare to say such words, so it was Fang Yuan’s idea.

“Qu Lu, come here.”

Hearing that, Qu Lu recovered herself and went upstairs anxiously. She sat down by the table.

“Don’t worry about what Fang Ling said. The thing about the Full Moon and Heart Strings is not serious.”

Su Li’s comfort made Qu Lu feel guiltier. It was obvious that Su Li wanted to reassure her.

Shaking her head helplessly, Su Li took out a piece of paper from the drawer. There were small words on the paper.

“I’ve found your brother. You can decide whether to meet him or not.”

“Really?”

Qu Lu was trembling when she heard the news; she took the paper eagerly and carefully.

“Ling Qinglan is 18 years old. After the extermination of the Yi Family, he was secretly adopted by Ling Feng, the second son of the Ling Family. And then he was renamed Ling Qinglan. After that, he had lived a carefree life for ten years until Ling Feng died. Now, he is an officer of the Supreme Judiciary. Since he was hired, he has been searching for clues to the unsolved case under the pretext of work...”

Qu Lu immediately wept. When she knew Ling Qinglan had been searching the murderer in these years, she couldn’t help missing him, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing Qu Lu crying, Su Li didn’t dissuade and comfort her. She just knocked the edge of the desk with her fingers.

After an hour, Qu Lu stopped crying. Her eyes were swollen, but her excitement couldn’t be hidden. She tightly grasped the paper and asked expectantly,

“Mr. Li, can I see him now?”

Su Li smiled and nodded slightly, “The murderer of the Yi Family has not been found. If you want to protect Yi Mo, you’d better go secretly.”

Qu Lu was worried about her brother. She said goodbye to Su Li and left the attic.

For the next three days, Qu Lu didn’t go out, which surprised Fang Yuan, who knew the secret.

On the fourth day, Qu Lu, with a pale face, found Fang Yuan and whispered, “Protector Fang, I want to see Mr. Li again. Can you...”

Fang Yuan was a little bored and said coldly, “Mr. Li has fulfilled the promise and has no relationship with you, so please leave these days.”

Qu Lu was in a hurry instantly, but Fang Yuan shook his head and left directly.

It was Su Li who let her go, not him.

This woman was upset.

“Mr. Li must help me.”

Qu Lu said in a low voice, biting her lip and holding her chest with one hand. It seemed that she was unable to breathe. Having lived in the Linli Building for one month, she got used to consulting with “Mr. Li”. But she didn’t realize that all was based on the “deal”.

In a short while, Su Li came back from the Zhouyue Winery and quickly walked to the top floor, rather than greeting Qu Lu.

Qu Lu was also called Yi Xue.

She was as smart as Ling Qinglan, but she was doomed to be weak because of her experience, so she was unable to think independently like Ling Qinglan.

In other words, Qu Lu had relied on the Linli Building and Su Li.

It would be wonderful if she wasn’t the sister of Yi Mo. Su Li let Qu Lu live in the Linli Building to feel a peaceful life so that she could take the opportunity to get her into the Linli Building for her need.

However, since Su Li knew that Qu Lu was the sister of Ling Qinglan, she had given up this idea immediately.

After all, Ling Qinglan was a member of the Yinmo Cult, and he was the only relative of Qu Lu. If they met, Qu Lu was very likely to expose the Linli Building to the Yinmo Cult. Su Li couldn’t accept it.

So, Su Li needed to irritate Qu Lu!

She squinted and would ask Qu Lu not to mention anything about the Linli Building after she met Ling Qinglan.

It might be difficult for Qu Lu; however, it didn’t concern Su Li!

Without Ling Li, she might not let Qu Lu meet Ling Qinglan. She could not show any sympathy for Qu Lu.

Compared with her previous life, she became more sympathetic. There were a lot of partners working together with her. After three years, she just dealt with the annoyed Zhu Yan; she also became softhearted and got together with Ling Li again. But... all of this didn’t mean that the influence of her previous life had faded.

In nature, Su Li was still the cold-blooded She-Devil, who was not accepted by ordinary people. She would achieve her goals by any means.

...

The wind was still cold in February. Ling Li was leaning on the wheelchair and enjoying the sun in the East Courtyard of the Ling Mansion. There was a little sorrow on his eyebrows than before.

These days he did not pay more attention to the whereabouts of Su Li, but he noticed that Su Li disappeared for every few days. During this period, she never mentioned where she went.

Ling Li naturally remembered the young man in indigo clothes who always smiled.

“No, Li won’t lie to me.”

Ling Li eliminated his distracting thoughts, but he was sad. He knew that he was so concerned about Su Li that he had the feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

Although he knew, he still felt uncomfortable.

“Master, is there something bothering you?”

The gentle voice of Ling Xian came to his ears, and then he turned back. Seeing her eyes, which were as soft as water, Ling Li moved immediately and changed the topic, “Where are Mo and Qinglan?”

Ling Xian saw Ling Li turn back, and her eyes were no longer gentle but gloomy. Her tone was still gentle, “Ling Mo heard that there were clues, so he went out of the city immediately to investigate the Wanjian Sect. Master Qinglan went to the Supreme Judiciary in a hurry.”

“Hurry.” Ling Li felt confused, “Is Su Qingtan coming out?”

Su Qingtan and Su Li had a closed relationship in the past. He didn’t know how to meet the brother-in-law who was a subordinate of Ling Qinglan.
