Who Moved My Mountain

Chapter 51 Part 2: The Red String of Fate

Yun Rong pushed Lu Yun Qing’s room door open. Outside the room there were traces of black air, but inside the room it was shrouded in a layer of black cloud. That inauspicious aura looked like it was about to drop black ink, so dense it couldn’t be separated. Even the lights that were turned on inside the room were overcast.

Only the body of Jiang Shu Hua that was sitting beside the bed was shrouded in a layer of soft light. That was the effectiveness of the peace talisman given by Yun Rong before.

As soon as she saw Yun Rong, Jiang Shu Hua immediately stood up. She spoke with deep worry: “Yun Rong, quickly come and see. Qing Qing’s breath has grown weaker and weaker. I just felt her for a while, it is the middle of summer but her body is cold like ice…….”

“Aunt Jiang, don’t worry. It’s okay.” Yun Rong patted Jiang Shu Hua’s hand and comforted her. 

No idea if it was due to Yun Rong’s magic power or a psychological effect, Jiang Shu Hua merely felt the young lady’s words brought some kind of peace, making her anxious heart become a lot more tranquil. 

When she raised her head, she happened to catch sight of Xu Bi entering the room. The anger in her heart immediately rose. She coldly spoke while pointing at Xu Bi: “What are you doing here? Go out!”

Abandoning the unconscious daughter to play mahjong, is this something that a mother would do? Even though Jiang Shu Hua’s feeling towards Lu Yun Qing wasn’t deep, in the end she was her own granddaughter. How could she not be broken-hearted. 

“Ma, how can you say this. Qing Qing is my daughter, why can’t I come in and see her? What to do if you all do something to my daughter?” Xu Bi was frightened to death upon seeing the black air filling the room. She actually didn’t want to go in, but she couldn’t not go in. She had a kind of feeling that it was a bit more secure following Yun Rong, this young girl.

“What can we do to Qing Qing!” Jiang Shu Hua was so angry her face turned red. However, her education of many years prevented her from swearing at people.

“Who knows ah, you people from Lu family originally don’t like us mother and daughter.” Xu Bi was happy when she saw Jiang Shu Hua get angry and rolled her eyes deliberately. 

These words when said, don’t mention Jiang Shu Hua, even Lu Song Nian were unable to endure listening. He turned around and grabbed Xu Bi’s collar, practically carrying her towards the door then pushed her out the door. Then with a bang he closed the door.  

“Lu Song Nian, you this animal!” Outside the door, Xu Bi shouted a round of abuse and knocked on the door with all her strength. But the people inside the door didn’t bat an eyelid, simply treating this person as if she didn’t exist.

Yun Rong walked to the bedside to check on Lu Yun Qing’s circumstances. Without seeing, she didn’t know but with a look, she couldn’t help knitting her brows. At first she thought Lu Yun Qing’s luck wasn’t good and became unconscious due to provoking a ghost from the netherworld. 

Now with a look, she knew it wasn’t like that. Although Lu Yun Qing’s life fate was ordinary without a very rich physionomy, she would at least be able to spend her senior years safe and sound. But at the moment, her fated marriage was altered by someone. To one’s surprise her red line of marriage was joined with a netherworld ghost and her life fate was forcibly changed to her early demise.  

Lu Song Nian waited but Yun Rong didn’t speak for half a day, and asked worriedly: “Miss Yun, is the problem very serious?”

“Has your family recently received something precious but had no idea who sent it?” Yun Rong asked after thinking for a bit.

With the kind of people in the Lu family, there were many who wanted to send presents. Fundamentally, their home refused to receive these, once received these things, it would be a favor which they would have to return in business later on. Lu Song Nian thought carefully for a while then said with certainty: “Recently nothing was received, moreover something from an unknown source.”  

Xu Bi,had been outside with the black air incessantly coiling around her body. She was both alarmed and afraid and with great effort stuck herself to the door, hoping for someone to open the door and let her in. She vaguely heard the conversation inside the room and immediately shouted: “Let me in, I know!”

Lu Song Nian heard Xu Bi’s voice and his face turned black. How could he forget her. Obviously, the Xu family’s condition wasn’t lacking, but the difficult-to-birth eldest young lady of the Xu family was raised to be narrow-minded and loved to take benefits. After marrying into the Lu family, Lu Song Nian gave her a few hundred thousands for household expenses each month. Food and clothing, social gatherings were all enough with spare. However, she was still as before and couldn’t change her shortcomings.

In succession, Lu Yun Qing was also raised to be selfish and petty, completely lacking education.

But such a woman was actually his own wife. Lu Song Nian ground his molars and walked in two three steps to the door and opened it with a bang. He asked coldly: “What did you actually accept!”

This was the first time that Xu Bi saw the appearance of Lu Song Nian being this angry. Meeting his roar, she couldn’t help jumping in fright. At first she wanted to say a few unpleasant words but she no longer dared to say them. With ridicule she pointed at Lu Yun Qing’s hand and said: “Yesterday I saw Qing Qing wearing that diamond ring, but when I asked her where did she get the money to buy such an expensive thing, she said it was a birthday present given by her friend. So I didn’t ask more.” 

At this time, everyone just took note of the new ring worn by Lu Yun Qing. As the Lu family’s daughter, Lu Yun Qing owned a lot of precious jewelry, including rings. Therefore at first glance everyone thought she had bought it herself.

Jiang family dealt in precious jewels, and Jiang Shu Hua’s sight in distinguishing precious stones was very accurate. When she heard Xu Bi, she immediately lifted Lu Yun Qing’s hand to take a look and said with  surprise: “This diamond ring is at least 300,000. It’s never been heard of sending such an expensive thing to a student.”

“300,000?” This time Xu Bi was startled. If she had known earlier that this ring was 300,000, she would have taken it and put it on herself. This stinky girl didn’t mention such a good ring. No wonder it was said that raising a daughter was not like one’s flesh and blood.

Yun Rong reached her hand out and took the ring out, only to see that the finger where Lu Yun Qing wore the ring on had a circle of black and purple. It was as if the ring was too tight and was bound tightly. However, this ring was obviously still too big for her, how was it possible for it to bind the finger tightly and leave such a deep mark?

“What is this?” Jiang Shu Hua asked in wonder. 

“This is the rope of marriage destined by fate, the ring is a betrothal gift. Putting on the ring is equal to receiving the betrothal gift. The two people’s lives are immediately connected together. Once the black mark in Lu Yun Qing’s finger is completely revealed, it will be the time for her soul to go to the netherworld.” This kind of sorcery had always been forbidden by the netherworld decree. She didn’t expect that there was someone who still used this method.

The black mark on Lu Yun Qing’s finger was already very distinct, afraid in a few moments it would completely be revealed. At that time, her life fate would already be altered and it would be impossible to reverse her situation.

Xu Bi listened from the side and was puzzled. She couldn’t help asking: “Isn’t it just getting married? Why still need a person to die ah, are you scaring us on purpose?”

Yun Rong pursed her lips in annoyance and coldly saida: “That’s because the one who wants to take her as a wife is a ghost!”

“Can you shut up!” Lu Song Nian saw that her daughter’s complexion became more and more wrong and impatiently roared at Xu Bi.

Xu Bi’s eyebrows raised subconsciously and she reluctantly saide: “Why should I keep my mouth shut? It is my daughter laying on the bed, can I not question a few words? How can you people understand my heart as the mother!” 

Everyone’s hearts were hanging on the unconscious Lu Yun Qing on the bed and had no mood to quarrel with Xu Bi. Lu Song Nian anxiously asked: “Miss Yun, then what to do now? Do you have any methods to save my daughter? As long as you save Qing Qing, I, Lu Song Nian, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.” 

Yun Rong came this time precisely to help. Now facing this kind of sorcery, even if Lu Song Nian didn’t say anything, she would also take action. If such terrible practice wasn’t eliminated, if it was completed, afraid in the future it would harm even more people.
