Chapter 252 Time for Karma To Catch Up
“Stop it!” The butler quivered all over as soon as he heard the name.
He took a step forward to stop Madam Liu, grabbing her by the corner of her sleeves to lug her towards
him as he said, “What are you talking about?”
Madam Liu glared at the butler fiercely and then uttered maliciously, “I’m telling nothing but the truth,
you should know that out of everyone!”
The butler was stunned to silence.
Because… Madam Liu’s sinister look was screamingly intimidating.
“Let her finish!”
Master Lu peered at Madam Liu angrily, yelling, “Carry on! What else do you know?”
“I didn’t believe it in the first place, so I followed Miss Mu Zhi to her mother’s grave and realized that
her mother is indeed Madam Mu Xue!”
“Master, you know that I’ve met Madam Mu Xue before.”
Gloom took over Master Lu’s face in the blink of an eye.
He didn’t say anything to Madam Liu, immersing in the sea of thoughts. After a long moment, he turned
to the butler and snapped, “Did you find out about this when I told you to look into it earlier?”
“Master…”
The butler stuttered. His body was trembling heavily.
“Speak!”
Master Lu thundered. The butler slumped onto his knees in a flash. Banging his forehead on the floor,
he explained, “Master, I… I-I’m afraid that you’d be heart-broken.”
“Although it was true that Madam Mu Xue came to you pregnant all those years ago, we can’t be sure
that the baby in her womb was Miss Mu Zhi!”
There was no arguing against that!
Upon listening to the butler’s words, everything started falling into place.
One could be sure that Mu Zhi and Mu Xue were indeed mother and daughter!

His unscrupulous womanizing had finally come back to haunt his children.
Master Lu could no longer sit still. He rose to his feet, barely staggering to his balance, clutching the
walking stick in his hand as he trudged towards his bedroom. “So, is this karma?” He mumbled to
himself. “Yeah, this must be. It is karma!”
The butler looked at Madam Liu, then turned his gaze to Master Lu’s despaired slouch before heaving
a lamenting sigh.
“Sigh!” He could no longer manage a proper response while looking back at Madam Liu.
Madam Liu did not look remorseful at all. There was even a trace of smugness on her face. Yes, you’ve
made your bed, and now you must lie in it!
This is just the beginning!
Everything only ends when every member of Mu Xue’s family has left the world!
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
In exchange for Miss Shi Chu’s life, all of you must die!
If it weren’t for Mu Zhi’s existence, Mu Xue wouldn’t come looking for Master Lu.
And Miss Shi Chu wouldn’t have been agitated!
Hahahahaha, time for karma to catch up!
In her bedroom, Madam Liu took out Shi Chu’s photo, rubbing the dust of her face.
On the other hand, the butler remained standing on the same spot for a long while, even after everyone
had dispersed. He wasn’t sure where to go. In the end, he walked up to the telephone at home
reluctantly. He picked up the phone receiver and punched in the digits to Lu Jinye’s number with his
wrinkly hands.
He thought of making a call to Lu Yunxi.
Because… It didn’t matter if Lu Yunxi had known everything. He wasn’t directly involved in the ordeal,
and he was a crafty man. He would’ve figured out the best solution to the commotion.
However, the butler ultimately decided to reach out to Lu Jinye.
At the end of the day… The matter had to be resolved by the most vital person in a predicament.
Master Lu and Mu Zhi’s mother met each other when he was on a business trip to a village in the
mountains. Master Lu was injured at the time, but there was no clinic in the rural area. When the night
fell, he ran into Mu Xue – Mu Zhi’s mother.
She was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. She learned everything about medicine from her
husband. Thus, she could only dress master’s wound, apply some herbs on him, and let him rest.
Master Lu nursed himself back to health at Mu Xue’s place. During which, he would tell Mu Xue stories
about the urban area. Stemming from her curiosity, Mu Xue was attracted to Master Lu for his
knowledge of the outside world.
On the other hand, Master Lu was captivated by Mu Xue’s beauty and kindness.
Then, the two of them experienced intimacy during a snowy night. The warmth of their bodies seemed
to have ignited their burning desires for each other.
Without a doubt, the same warmth also burned down what looked like a perfectly harmonious home.
Master Lu left when his injury was fully healed. But he didn’t leave without giving Mu Xue an address
and a phone number, telling her that she must look for him when she had the chance.
Mu Xianyong was at another village during that period, attending to a patient. He did not notice
anything odd when he returned.
Except for the occasional rumors.
The rumors were about his wife, Mu Xue and a strange man.
Weeks later, Mu Xue found out that she was pregnant. She was flummoxed, not knowing who the child
belonged to.
Mu Xianyong finally succumbed to the pressure of the gossips. He believed in what everyone’d said
that his wife, Mu Xue, was lewd.
He was convinced that Mu Xue bore Master Lu’s child. Thus, he started physically abusing her.
While she was heavily injured, Mu Xue ran away from Mu Xianyong while he was fast asleep.
The butler only managed to connect the dots after gathering bits and pieces of information throughout
his investigation.
Then, Lu Jinye was aware of what happened afterwards.
He was there during that day when he was enjoying the hotpot with his mother. A pregnant woman
barged into the house and told his mother about the love story between Master Lu and her.
She hoped that Shi Chu could bless her relationship with Master Lu because she was pregnant.
In the past, Shi Chu was a poet and an artist. Her world was full of imagination. She believed in real
love. To her, real love was never-changing; real love should be spotless.
Shi Chu could not accept how the woman had burst into her life, pleading and bragging to her at the
same time. She even found the story difficult to believe.
Thus, she questioned Master Lu, and from his hesitation, she confirmed that everything the pregnant
woman said was true.
She ended up getting depression. She yearned for death.
Thus, she started pressuring Master Lu once again.

In the end, when Master Lu did not return home for a full week, it became the last straw for her. She
pushed the windows open and jumped off from the thirtieth floor.
Her silky white dress turned red as it was soaked in her blood when she hit the ground.
Lu Jinye had not much memory of Mu Xue. He could hardly remember what the woman looked like.
