Chapter 592
"Ah? Her mother-in-law gave her sleeping pills?" mother Qiao shook her head in disbelief . "This mother-in-law is just too vile! To actually be so cruel to kill a perfectly fine life! To kill so relentlessly . Sooner or later she'll receive her karma!"
Qiao Anxia, who was never interested in such topics, after she heard Qiao Anhao's story, she felt an indescribable sense of anger . "That mother-in-law is practically a freak! That scumbag!"
Qiao Anhao didn't say anything else, but stared directly at Han Ruchu . When their eyes met, her lips curved into a smile .
Although mother Qiao and Qiao Anxia were cursing the mother-in-law in the story, in that very moment, Han Ruchu felt like they were cursing her . Perhaps it was because of Qiao Anhao's smile . . .
As someone who was always so arrogant, she had never felt this sullen before . She tried her best to stay still on the sofa, but her enraged chest started to clearly heave in anger .
Though Qiao Anhao clearly knew why Han Ruchu was angry, she had no intention of stopping there . She continued to speak in a gentle voice to fan the flames instead . "Aunt Xu, why are you so mad? Don't you think the mother-in-law is a piece of shit too?"
How could Han Ruchu not hear that Qiao Anhao's words "piece of shit" were really meant for her? Suddenly, Han Ruchu tightened her grip on the cushion in her hand while staring at Qiao Anhao . The fury in her chest practically made her want to spit out fire, but because mother Qiao was next to her, she forced herself to hold it down . With a ridiculously frigid smile, she said in tense voice, "Yeah . "
"I think so too!" Qiao Anhao smiled sweetly at Han Ruchu for a moment, as though to seriously comfort her . However, in actual fact, her words angered Han Ruchu half to death . "But Aunt Xu, you don't have to get so mad . Those wretched people who bring it upon themselves, don't survive . Sooner or later, everyone will turn on them and their family would leave them, and they will die a horrible death!"

Qiao Anhao's curse was so harsh, yet she spoke so naturally and smoothly, she managed to gain Qiao Anxia and mother Qiao's support .
Han Ruchu slightly shut her eyes, and worked hard to keep her smile . In order to remain calm, she spoke particularly slowly next . "I don't feel so well . You all sit for a while, I'll go upstairs for a moment . "
As she spoke, Han Ruchu stood up .
Mother Qiao, who was completely clueless about the underlying conflicts between Han Ruchu and Qiao Anhao, asked worriedly, "Ruchu, are you alright?"
"It's nothing . Ever since I fainted from anger, my body hasn't been quite the same . I'll get some rest and be fine . " Han Ruchu forced out a smile for mother Qiao .
"Madame, I'll come with you," said the housekeeper, as she supported Han Ruchu towards the stairs .
Since Han Ruchu headed upstairs to rest, there was no reason for mother Qiao to be there, and so she got ready to go home . Qiao Anxia remembered that she was busy in the evening and so she was ready to leave with her mother .
But before they left, mother Qiao and Qiao Anxia asked Qiao Anhao if she wanted to go back with them to the family estate . Qiao Anhao glanced over at Xu Jiamu, who sat in a daze in front of the television, then shook her head . She gave a warm smile and said, "I'll stay for a while . "
The instant the four of them left, the huge living room became cold and lifeless .
Qiao Anhao sat beside Xu Jiamu for a while, then glanced up the stairs . She got up, walked over to the water dispenser, and got herself a cup of water .

Regis and Charlotte
Regis knows it's an illusion. He's only ever seen Princess Charlotte from afar; only heard her voice when she spoke to a crowd. Sure he's good at reading people, but he knows she of all people will be wearing a perfect mask. The problem is he's in love with the illusion, and it's not going away. So he strikes out on a quest: win the fighting tournament held every year, where she gives out the prize, and hypothetically—just hypothetically—he can forfeit the monetary winnings and instead ask for a week to be close to her, to get to know the real her, and break the illusion once and for all.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
