Mrs. Zhao fell to the ground, embarrassed.

"The Skynet is vast, sparse and not leaking." Jin Xuehong looked cold and stern."You will never escape justice."

Knowing that she had reached the end of her life, Zhao fell down.

That night, Zhao was taken to the Yamen prison.

Before dawn in the early morning, officers from the Yamen came and said that Ms. Zhao bit her tongue and committed suicide in prison.

Although she deserved it, Lu Zhongxian and Lu Shiyan still felt heartbroken and sad when they heard about it.

Lu Shimei, who was also detained in Daewoo awaiting trial, broke down emotionally on the spot and went completely crazy when she heard the news that her mother had committed suicide.

Everyone in the Lu family felt heavy because of this incident.

In the flower hall, Lu Zhongxian, Lu Shiyan and Jin Xuehong were discussing how to take Zhao's body back for burial.

Although I resented what Zhao had done, after all, they had lived together for more than ten years, and they still had feelings. Besides, after the person died, everything was over, and there was nothing to pursue and hold grudges against.

"I will send someone to the Yamen in a moment to bring your stepmother back..." Lu Zhongxian sighed deeply."Although she has evil intentions, she has still taken care of you for more than ten years..."

"Dad, I understand." Lu Shiyan nodded."Let's bring Shimei back by the way. She's gone crazy. We can't let her suffer in prison."

"Yes." Lu Zhongxian asked, "What do you think about Shimei?"

"I'm about to get married, and Shi Mei is no longer suitable to stay in the Lu Mansion. After all, she has done those things. I'm worried that everyone will look down upon her..." She took a deep breath."Let's find a place for her to recuperate!"

Lu Zhongxian agreed: "That's fine."

"By the way, dad..." Lu Shiyan asked again: "Both Lao Ma and Bishui were innocent victims because of me. I want to give their family some compensation, okay?"

"Of course." Lu Zhongxian agreed without thinking.

"Thank you dad."

Lu Zhongxian looked at Jin Xuehong who was quiet and did not interrupt, and asked tentatively: "My nephew, do you have any ideas?"

Jin Xuehong smiled faintly."This is the Lu Mansion. Uncle Shi can make the decision."

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise Shiyan would have..." Thinking that his daughter was almost killed, Lu Zhongxian sighed again.

"But... Shiyan said she woke up when Miss Xiang died. Who is Miss Xiang? What does it have to do with this matter? Why did Zhao kill that Miss Xiang?"

Lu Shiyan looked at Jin Xuehong with embarrassment."Xuehong, tell me?"

"But it doesn't matter." Jin Xuehong gave her a reassuring smile."Uncle Shi can understand."

Seeing how mysterious the two of them were, Lu Zhongxian became more and more confused."What's going on?"

Lu Shiyan took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and said, "Dad, do you still remember why I went to Jing'an?"

"Of course I remember. You said you were going to some Xiang's antique store to buy antiques... Huh? Then Miss Xiang is..."

"Her name is Xiang Liping, she is the lady from Xiang's Antique Shop." She said.

Lu Zhongxian frowned."Your stepmother didn't know the other person either, so why did you kill her?"

"Actually, strictly speaking, the stepmother didn't kill her, because she was already dead before her mother sank her into the spring stream."

Lu Zhongxian was confused when he heard this."What is this and what?"

"Dad, listen to me, but don't be too surprised..." Lu Shiyan gently held her father's hand and told the whole story.

Lu Zhongxian listened to the various adventures she had during her coma, and was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment. After a while, he found his voice and asked in surprise: "Is there really such a thing in the world?"

"Yes." She smiled quietly."If I hadn't met him, it would be hard for my daughter to believe it."

Lu Zhongxian nodded and was silent for a moment, thoughtfully. After a moment, he smiled kindly and said, "But having said that, this is really a wonderful fate. You were originally going to Xiang's family, but you didn't expect that you actually went to Xiang's family and became Xiang's daughter." Suddenly, his expression darkened, "But they must be very sad after losing their only daughter, right?"

Lu Shiyan and Jin Xuehong looked at each other, vaguely aware of his emotion.

Lu Zhongxian raised his eyes and looked at his daughter, "Your stepmother is dead, Shimei is crazy, and you are getting married. As a father, I can feel the loss and loneliness of the Xiang family and his wife..."

"Dad..." Lu Shiyan's eyes heated up.

Yes, her stepmother was gone, Shimei was about to be sent to another place to rest because she went crazy, and she was about to marry into the Jin family. From then on, her father would be alone. Thinking about it, she was filled with reluctance.

"Uncle Shi," Jin Xuehong spoke at this time, "I have always wanted to discuss something with you today..."

Lu Zhongxian paused slightly, "My dear nephew, please tell me."

Jin Xuehong sighed softly, "Uncle Shi must not be able to calm down after this huge change happened to the Lu family. Shi Yan and I are getting married soon. I'm afraid Uncle Shi won't be able to adapt to the loneliness without my daughter around for a while, so I wonder if Uncle Shi would like to go to Jing'an together?"

Hearing this, Lu Shiyan couldn't hide her surprise and surprise, "Xuehong, you mean"

Jin Xuehong smiled tenderly at her."You must be reluctant to leave Uncle Shi alone, so I want to take Uncle Shi to live with him in Jing'an."

She looked at him moved and excited, and was speechless.

"The Lu family's mansion in Anyang and Zhuangzi can find a housekeeper to take care of them temporarily. If Uncle Shi gets tired of living in Jing'an, he can come back at any time." Jin Xuehong added, "If Uncle Shi gets used to the life in Jing'an, then we can think about how to deal with An's property."

The prospective son-in-law was willing to take him to live with him, and Lu Zhongxian was surprised and delighted."My dear nephew, don't you think I'm a burden?"

"Why did Uncle Shi say this? You are my elder, Shiyan's father, and my father-in-law. How could I think you are a burden?" Jin Xuehong smiled slightly, "Don't worry about causing trouble to me. I have already purchased a house in Jing'an, with five courtyards in total. You will definitely be able to live very comfortably."

When Lu Shiyan heard this, she almost cried with joy."Dad, this is great! Come and live with us in Jing'an!"

Lu Zhongxian nodded, his gratitude filled with tears in his eyes.

The truth came to light and Lu Shiyan had returned to her soul safely. Jin Xuehong decided to leave for Huaicheng immediately to prepare to marry her.

While waiting for the Jin family to come to marry, Lu Shiyan also had to help her father deal with many things, such as finding a place for Shimei to recuperate and reliable people to take care of her, and finding a suitable candidate to replace Lu Zhongxian to manage the Lu family's property.

The night before Jin Xuehong set off, he came to Lu Shiyan's courtyard.

"Xuehong, how long will it take for you to return to Huaicheng?"

"About five to ten days!" he said.

"Really?" She thought for a moment."Then we have determined the date. How long will it take to come to Anyang?"

"It depends on the day chosen by father, but it shouldn't be too long..." As he said that, Jin Xuehong's eyes flashed with a sly light and he looked at her with a smile."What, you don't want to be separated from me for so long?"

She glared at him in embarrassment."No."

"Look at the way you are separated from love..." Seeing her face blushing with embarrassment, he even had the idea of teasing her and making trouble with her.

"You can't live without me anymore, right?" He put his arm around her shoulders.

Lu Shiyan's face turned red and she bumped him with her elbow shyly, saying "shamelessly".

Jin Xuehong didn't take it seriously and held her tightly in his arms."Don't worry, I'll be back to pick you up soon. It will be difficult for you to leave me in the future. Make the best of this free time without my entanglement!"

The words were sweet and passionate, making her ears warm.

"Seriously..." He suddenly looked at her seriously."You have been engaged to me since birth. It seems that you have been worried at all?"

"What are you worried about?" She looked at him stupidly.

"I'm worried about what kind of person I will marry in the future," he said.

"I didn't think too much about it. I just obeyed my father's decision. He won't harm me, right?"

His thick eyebrows frowned slightly."Have you never expected or imagined what kind of person I am?"

"I've never seen it, how can I imagine the expectations?"

"You met me when you were seven years old. You must have some ideas, right?" Jin Xuehong stared at her seriously.

Lu Shiyan thought for a while and asked: "Actually, I don't remember much about you. When I saw you in Wanbaozhai, I didn't remember who you were! I was only seven years old at the time, how could I think

Listening, he said a little frustrated: "Maybe, I will remember you..."
