Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

At this moment, Lu Sizheng’s mind was focused on the two memorial tablets, so he did not notice anything unusual about Zhao Youlin.

Lu Sizheng first picked up a clean towel at the side and carefully wiped the dust off the memorial tablet.
Then, he took out the incense and lit it with a candle.

During the whole process, Lu Sizheng did not say a word.
Of course, Zhao Youlin could not speak at this time, so the room inevitably fell into silence.

In such a place, there was a strange silence again.
The atmosphere in the room was really subtle.

Zhao Youlin began to regret agreeing to follow Lu Sizheng.
She even obediently stayed in the room after Lu Sizheng spoke, instead of turning around and leaving.

Lu Sizheng inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the table.
Then, he turned around and smiled at her as if he suddenly remembered Zhao Youlin.
“Sorry, I was busy burning incense for my parents and neglected you.”

Zhao Youlin’s expression froze slightly.
She said a little awkwardly, “It’s okay.
You do your thing.
Offering incense to one’s parents is a big deal.
I don’t mind it.”

Zhao Youlin glanced at the memorial tablet.

Lu Sizheng smiled.
“Ms.
Zhao seems to be very curious about my parents.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned.
She didn’t expect that her sneaking glance would be caught.

However, she didn’t panic.
Instead, she asked, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone paying respects to their parents in a temple, not in a cemetery or something like that.
So, I just thought it was a little strange.
I didn’t mean anything by it.”

If she remembered correctly, Su He had told her before that Lu Sizheng’s parents were also Lu Xiangtian’s trusted aides.
They had died to save Lu Xiangtian.
Such a person would be buried in such a grand manner.
Shouldn’t they be buried in a cemetery with beautiful mountains and clear waters?

Why did they choose to be buried in such a remote temple with only one memorial tablet? It was like… It was like they did not want to see anyone.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a little… strange.

As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, a terrifying crack finally appeared on Lu Sizheng’s gentle mask.

His eyes, which had always been a little tired and lazy, were now cold.
He stared straight at Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Youlin didn’t know what she had said wrong.
While being stared at by Lu Sizheng, she felt a chill on her back.
It felt like the next moment, the person in front of her would most likely pounce on her and shoot her.

The two of them looked at each other face to face.
Neither of them said anything.

After a long while, Lu Sizheng broke the silence.
He laughed softly.
“You are right.
Most people would choose places like the cemetery to pay their respects to the deceased.
As for me, the reason why I chose such a remote place to pay my respects to my parents is, of course, for some special reasons.
Some reasons that I don’t want others to know about.”

Lu Sizheng turned his head and gently touched the words on the tablet.
His face was deep and unfathomable.

After a while, he turned to look at Zhao Youlin with an intriguing smile on his face.
He asked softly, “Ms.
Zhao, you will be willing to keep this secret for me, right?”

A secret reason? Did Lu Sizheng’s parents really commit a crime before they died? So even if they died, they would be ashamed of it?

Zhao Youlin looked at Lu Sizheng’s faintly dangerous face and felt that she could not understand the person in front of her.

Since this person did not want others to reveal this matter, why did he choose to bring her here? Was he so sure that he would never reveal this matter?

If that was the case, where did his confidence come from? Or was it all just under some pretense? This person had taken her here for another purpose.

Zhao Youlin’s mind spun, but she didn’t show it on her face.
“This is your family matter.
I don’t think I’m a person who likes to gossip.
If it wasn’t for your instructions, I definitely wouldn’t let a third person know about today’s matter.”

Lu Sizheng smiled.
“I naturally believe in your character.”

As Lu Sizheng spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked to the other side of the hall.
Zhao Youlin looked in his direction and realized that this room really seemed like a different world.

In addition to the hall, there was a table on the other side.
However, the finishing of this table was obviously much more crude and simpler than the previous hall of the dead.

There were not many things on the huge table.
Other than some necessary incense and candles for the temple, there were only two bright lamps.

“This is…” Zhao Youlin stared at the two lamps.
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

“This is the lamp that I consecrated for my father and sister.”

Zhao Youlin was shocked.
The lamp that I consecrated for Lu Xiangtian and Lu Shu?

Zhao Youlin had heard of this type of lamp before.
It was usually used when the younger generation of the family was weak and sick, or when the elders were old, in order to pray for their health, the elders or juniors would consecrate a lamp like this for them in the temple.

If the Gods and Buddhas were willing to bless the person who was being prayed for, then the lamp would be able to stay lit for a long time.
However, if it was extinguished, then the person would most likely die.

Zhao Youlin could understand why Lu Sizheng worshipped Lu Xiangtian, but it was a little strange for Lu Shu to worship him.

Lu Xiangtian was a little old, and in addition to the old injuries on his body, there was nothing wrong with giving him a lamp.
However, Lu Shu was still young, and she did not look like she was seriously ill.
Why was he giving her a lamp? Could it be that he was worried that she had too many enemies and would not die quickly enough?

“You are really filial.
In this temple, while offering the memorial tablets to his parents, you still did not forget to light a lantern for Mr.
Lu and Miss Lu.
If they knew of your intentions, they would be very touched.”

Although Zhao Youlin said that, she secretly thought to herself, consecrating the two living people’s lanterns together with the two dead people’s memorial tablets… was Lu Sizheng really too careless and didn’t think of this, or… was it intentional?

Lu Sizheng didn’t pay attention to the sarcasm that Zhao Youlin unintentionally let slip.
He turned his eyes and stared at the two eternal lamps, and his eyes gradually darkened.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Sizheng suddenly asked, “Ms.
Zhao, do you believe in the cycle of Karma in your past life and present life?”

Zhao Youlin was suddenly met with such a question.
She was stunned for a long time before she hesitantly said, “Why so sudden? I really couldn’t tell that you were such a superstitious person.”

Lu Sizheng did not refute.
He only stared at Zhao Youlin with those repulsive and dangerous eyes.
Then, he smiled meaningfully and walked toward Zhao Youlin.
