Lu Changyuan's lover?
Zhang Yuchen and I were both shocked when we heard that.
But it also matched my initial deduction—the problem really did lie with the Lu Family.

Based on the information we received,
Xiao Rou was killed by Leng Xiurong.
And my father-in-law said that Leng Xiurong had not appeared for over twenty years. She had practically vanished after Xiao Rou died.
He did not know whether she was alive or
