Chapter 774: In The Tomb 6

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Su Yanyu was acting strangely, the murals on the wall disappeared. Liu Yuanyuan felt that Su Yanyu seemed to have been pulled into an illusion, but the illusion excluded her. She could not enter and could only wait for Su Yanyu to come out.

Some illusions could kill. Liu Yuanyuan lit the match. She did not want Su Yanyu to die in such an illusion. It would be fine if Su Yanyu could come out by himself, but if he could not, she needed to go in to save him.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at the murals on the stone wall and roughly understood that this woman had been rich all her life, but she did not seem to be happy. If there was an illusion, it might be created by her obsession.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at some scenes on the mural and felt a little frustrated. Her intuition told her that it was best for her to leave. She could leave, but if she left, Su Yanyu would definitely die in this tomb alone.

Liu Yuanyuan calmed down. She extinguished the match and sat down beside Su Yanyu.

Su Yanyu could clearly feel that Lian Qian had become more lively. Chef Wang had displayed his culinary skills to the extreme and could make all kinds of delicious food. Lian Qian was not picky and was willing to try new dishes.

Lian Qian’s life was very uneventful, and the man seemed to have realized the truth and did not dare to disturb her again.

The man and his concubine lived their lives in the side courtyard. Lian Qian still gave them what they wanted. Sometimes, Su Yanyu felt puzzled. Lian Qian clearly liked Chef Wang, so why didn’t she divorce that man? However, to Lian Qian, as long as she could live like this uneventfully, it was enough.

Su Yanyu found it difficult to understand. If it were him, he would definitely not do this. It was not worth it to be loyal to someone who did not love him.

Now that the family business was in Lian Qian’s hands, Lian Qian had all the freedom, but she did not want to take that step.

At this moment, Lian Qian was already a woman in her late forties. Her face was starting to droop and there were signs of aging.

The man’s children had already started their own families. The man and his concubine never interacted with Lian Qian.

However, on this day, the main courtyard was visited by the man and his concubine at the same time.

The man was no longer young. He looked extremely mature and had a beard. The concubine was actually not as beautiful as Lian Qian. However, she had a feminine gentleness that Lian Qian did not have.

The man’s gaze went back and forth between Lian Qian and the concubine.

When he looked at Lian Qian, he was cold. When he looked at the concubine, he was gentle.

Lian Qian’s expression was cold as she said, “What’s the matter?”

Lian Qian did not want to see these two people, so she deliberately put on a cold and long face.

The man glanced at Lian Qian and frowned slightly. “Give me ten thousand taels of silver.”

After the man finished speaking, the concubine looked up at Lian Qian with tears in her eyes and said, “Madam, my daughter encountered something and needs money urgently. Please help. Although my daughter is not your daughter, you watched her grow up.”

The man’s heart ached for his concubine. He frowned and said to Lian Qian, “You don’t lack 10,000 taels. We’re husband and wife. Please show some mercy.”

With the current family’s financial situation and Lian Qian’s ability to manage assets, she was not short of 100,000 taels, let alone 10,000.

The man was indignant. When he was young, he did not care about money at all, which gave Lian Qian an opportunity to take advantage of him. It was too late to regret now.

Lian Qian did not agree immediately. She only looked at the man indifferently and saw the indignance in his eyes. She wondered why she could always read his mind.

Lian Qian said expressionlessly, “It has nothing to do with me. They’ve never respected me, and I don’t want to show any kindness. If they really have a heart, why haven’t they been grateful to me all these years? You have to know that since they were young, I’ve provided them everything they wanted.”

The children of the man and his concubine were the same. Even though they enjoyed the rich life that Lian Qian brought them, they had never been grateful to her.

On the contrary, they hated her for being so domineering and controlling everything.

Lian Qian knew everything. She thought that she was merciful enough. Even now, she was still supporting her husband and his concubine. She did not cut ties with him because she was indignant.

The man and his concubine had been in love for a lifetime. She wanted them to live together but not die together. She was the man’s legitimate wife. He had ruined her life, and after she died, she would be buried with him. He owed her that.

Lian Qian’s resolute rejection made the man widen his eyes in anger. His eyes were filled with hatred. “Are you really not going to help?”

The concubine cried and begged, “Madam, I beg you. As long as you agree, I’ll do anything.”

Lian Qian looked at the concubine coldly. She hated her very much. The concubine was like a thorn in her heart that she could never pull out. Lian Qian said coldly, “You are worth nothing. I don’t need you to do anything.”

If the man and his concubine continued to beg, they would undoubtedly embarrass themselves. Lian Qian never intended to help.

In Lian Qian’s opinion, she had already done enough for them.

The man was furious and looked at Lian Qian as if he wanted to eat her up.

The man left with his concubine.

Lian Qian’s expression was calm. She did not take it to heart at all.

At night, Lian Qian ate noodles. Chef Wang sat opposite her. She said that it was too lonely to eat alone, so Chef Wang ate with her. This continued for many years.

There was a gap between the two of them. However, no one had the intention of crossing it.

After Lian Qian finished eating, she drank the fragrant tea and said calmly, “From this month onwards, your monthly salary will be increased by 50 taels.” Chef Wang said calmly, “Thank you, Madam.”

Su Yanyu felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but think that if Liu Yuanyuan could take a step towards him, he would definitely not reject her. As long as she liked him a little, he would do his best to make her like him more..
