Path Of The Lilies 262 You Can't Turn Back Time 2

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Lu Zhi screamed as she held onto her face. Scrambling to the side, she bent down near a bucket and directly splashed water onto her face. Her heart was in panic because she knew what effect the poison had on one's skin.

If one drank it, their body would be corroded.

If one touched it, their skin would be corroded.

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

"Hiiii!"

The moment Lu Zhi looked up from the water bucket, the servant nearby screamed in horror. Right now, Lu Zhi's face looked extremely horrible. They could see part of her cheek was red with dark lines across it in an uneven manner. The bone on her nose was visible while her lips were gone. One of her eyes was visible without anything around it, showing its round shape.

The bloodied bones were visible as the surface was red in color. There was faint dark skin etched to her bones, hanging close along with the destroyed layer of skin.

There was no blood flow, but the corrosion of her face directly destroyed her face. There would be no way to recover it without a suitable medicine. Even then, the degree of the change in her face would surely require a lot of money. How could she survive until then with this kind of face?

Looking at her own reflection, Lu Zhi felt her heart dropped to the bottomless abyss.

"No… no…NOOOOOOOOOOOO" Lu Zhi screamed as she cried in despair.

On the back, Lu Wan watched Lu Zhi cry emotionlessly. If this girl didn't try to kill him today, he would never bother with her anymore. But since she did, then he would not be polite. There was not even the slightest trace of pity on his expression.

For a woman like her, there was no need for pity. She was only someone who didn't have a sense of grat.i.tude.

"What is this commotion?" Lu Changqing walked into the quarter with a dark look.

"DAD! H-HE TRIED TO KILL ME!" Lu Zhi screamed. Her hands were covering her face that has turned ugly. It was so bad that she herself wanted to puke.

Lu Wan pa.s.sed a glance to Lu Zhi. "Are you really telling me that when you prepare the soup for me to drink?"

From behind Lu Changqing, Lu Su walked forward. He looked at the young boy in front of him. "Lu Wan, are you telling the truth?"

"What do you think?" Lu Wan looked at Lu Su with an expressionless face.

"Dad, HE'S LYING! I'm not the one who did it!" Lu Zhi screamed again. "HE'S THE ONE WHO WANTS TO KILL ME!"

Lu Wan just pursed his lips without the intention to reply anymore. He merely looked back at his father and brother, who were looking at the two of them with a complicated look.

Lu Changqing waved his hand. "Call a doctor and escort Lu Zhi back to her room. No one shall say any word regarding this matter."

"Dad?" Lu Zhi was surprised. "DAD! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! HE-HE-HE'S TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU….LET ME GO!"

Lu Wan watched quietly as Lu Zhi was dragged away by the servants. His eyes were looking at his father as if he had guessed that it would turn this way. "I can see that you never place much importance in me, Father. Even when someone wants to kill me, you expect me to stay silent, don't you?"

"Lu Wan…"

"Don't say that you didn't," Lu Wan cut off his father. For the first time, he dared to so as he always only said that he understood in front of his father. His eyes were looking back at his father fervently. "Am I truly your son, Father?"

Lu Changqing looked back at Lu Wan. "Yes, you're my son."

"But you never want me, don't you?"

This time, Lu Changqing didn't reply. He merely looked back at Lu Wan with an indifferent expression.

The situation was tense as neither side was talking. It was as if there was a silent battle between the two of them. In the end, Lu Wan turned away his head.

"There's no need to think about the promise anymore. I'm going to leave this residence. You don't have to care for me anymore."

"The street is not safe, Lu Wan," Lu Su tried to stop the young man.

Lu Wan looked at his brother. "Do you think it'll be safer if I stay in this residence, Brother? It'll be better if I just roam on the street rather than staying here where I know that there are a lot of people who want my life."

Lu Wan started to walk unhurriedly. He didn't have any plan on staying in this residence anymore. Even if it might be a reckless move, he no longer wanted to stay here. The future problems that would follow would need a different approach. He might need his senior brother and junior sister's help for them.

"Lu Wan," Lu Su called out when the boy walked past by him. "Take care of yourself."

"Yeah," Lu Wan replied curtly.

There were no other words uttered anymore as Lu Wan walked out of the residence. All along, Lu Changqing stayed in his place without moving at all. He only spoke out when the boy had left.

"Call the imperial Family."

"Master?"

"Tell them that I will no longer interfere with Lu Wan's matter. He no longer has any relation with our family, and they're free to do as they wish. Whatever happens to him will no longer concern me."

As soon as he finished giving instruction, Lu Changqing walked away heading towards his office. Behind him, Lu Su merely looked at his father's departing back. He looked back at his own hand and sighed.

"What's my schedule for today?"

"Young Master, today there's…"
