Chapter 2588: Not of the Straight Path

Chapter 2588: Not of the Straight Path

Lu Mingxuan had devised a plan to tarnish Lu Junning’s innocence, but Lu Junning naturally wasn’t the type to be easily fooled. Instead, she manipulated the original host into taking her place.
The original host fell for the scheme and lost her innocence, then Lu Junning told her it was all Lu Mingxuan’s doing.
She wanted the original host to attack Lu Mingxuan.
Unfortunately, before the original host could take action, her family used her supposed illness as an excuse to send her to the ancestral temple for her to end her life.
The original host’s wish was to avoid being manipulated and to avoid marrying the eldest son of the marquis’ residence.
However, the eldest son, who had married Lu Yueyun in a previous life, was actually not of the straight path. Otherwise, given his status, he should have married a legitimate daughter of a prominent family instead of a concubine-born daughter like Lu Yueyun.
To maintain his reputation, he never revealed his interest in men.
There were no concubines in the residence. After marrying Lu Yueyun, he didn’t take in any more women.
Everyone said that Lu Yueyun was extremely lucky to have married up into a prominent family and on top of that, her husband didn’t take any concubines.
Lu Yueyun was the only one that knew the bitterness of her situation.
Perhaps because of these circumstances, when Lu Junning was reborn, she disliked the original host and regarded her as a petty person.
She felt that Lu Yueyun had only been able to marry into such good circumstances by flattering Lu Mingxuan.
That was why when Lu Mingxuan tried to ruin her innocence, Lu Junning made Lu Yueyun take her place in that extremely shameful affair.
After receiving the storyline, Ning Shu let out a long sigh.
As expected, it was a drama of women fighting.
However, this storyline…
At first glance, there seemed to be no logical problems in the storyline. It was a story of the female lead being reborn and killing the scumbag man and the despicable woman.
But how poor must Lu Junning’s character have been to make her husband, who already had a child with her, despise her so much that he did not spare even their own flesh and blood?
She was even killed by being hacked to pieces?
The storyline seemed to be heaping on the most tragic circumstances possible.
One could just say that the scumbag man lost his humanity, but in the previous life, didn’t Lu Junning plan everything for the scumbag man to obtain the throne? So she must have been very smart. How could she not know that her husband and her younger sister were having an affair?
She worked so hard to make the scumbag man the emperor and even made her maternal grandfather’s family surrender their military power to consolidate the scumbag man’s throne. Wasn’t this pretty much putting a noose around her family?
And then, all she became was an empress.
The only explanation was love. Shitty love had blinded her eyes.
As long as you promise me a little love, I will overturn the world for you.
Ning Shu: →_→
So, she put in so much effort just for the sake of love? Wouldn’t it have been better if she had just chopped up the scumbag man? In any case, she already had a son. Wouldn’t it be much more satisfying to support her son to take over and become a regent empress?
Then she could place her hand on a pretty boy’s hand and ask: What do you see?
The pretty boy: The beautiful nation.
Wrong, it is my beautiful nation.
However, the result of her actions was various tragedies, with her child being killed and herself being chopped to death.
Before her death, she cursed him in every possible way, saying that if she were ever reborn, she swore to take revenge!
I did so much for you, but you actually never loved me? You deceived me! Blah, blah, blah…
I loved you wholeheartedly, to the point I even caused the death of my grandfather’s family, but this is how you treat me?
Ning Shu couldn’t sympathize. After all, Lu Junning had helped a man fight for power, and in the process, her hands were clearly covered with blood as well. But now that it was her turn to experience those terrible things, she acted like things were so unfair.
Ha. Ha…
I love you, so you must love me. I’ve done so much for you, so you must love me.
How did this logic come about?
