Soon, the sound of a maid saluting was heard from the stairs.
Lu Mingke and Su Rou came with great force.
"What are you doing?" Lu Mingke asked seriously.
Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai turned their heads when they heard the sound, looking at Lu Mingke and Su Rou as if they were surprised.
"Enjoy the scenery, husband, do you want to come to enjoy the scenery too?" Shen Qingrong said the words he had thought of for a long time.
After hearing this, Lu Mingke looked at Aunt Bai who was standing aside. Aunt Bai clenched her hands and said, "I also came to enjoy the scenery and happened to meet the young lady."
"Father is still recovering from a serious illness, and Aunt Bai is in such a good mood." Lu Mingke had a profound meaning.
Aunt Bai's expression was stern, and when she was thinking about how to respond, Lu Mingke sneered, and her tone suddenly became harsh: "We happened to meet each other while enjoying the scenery during lunch time, do you think I'm a fool!"
The sudden shouting frightened Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai, and their hearts trembled with fear.
Did he know something? Impossible, they obviously do it very secretly.
Shen Qingrong suppressed the panic in her heart and bravely said, "What do you mean by this, husband?"
"You will understand." Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong fiercely, waved his hand and ordered: "Take them down and take them to the main courtyard."
Several ladies came forward and detained Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai.
"Let me go!" Shen Qingrong struggled to no avail, looked at Lu Mingke and said, "Husband, what are you doing?"
Lu Mingke snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Su Rou followed closely, half-understanding in her heart.
From Lu Mingke's reaction and what she just said, Su Rou guessed that Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai were related to Lu He's sudden illness.
A group of people came to the main courtyard, where Lu He and Mrs. Lu were still eating.
After learning that Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai had been caught, Lu He and Mrs. Lu put down their chopsticks and went to the side hall to interrogate the two.
"Tell me, how did you murder your father?" Lu Mingke asked.
Shen Qingrong, who was forced to kneel on the ground, struggled away and pretended to be confused: "What are you talking about, husband? How could we murder our father?"
She was betting that even if Lu Mingke had suspicions, there would be no evidence.
Lu Mingke really has no evidence.
Looking at Shen Qingrong who was not crying without seeing the coffin, Lu Mingke said coldly: "Okay, let's talk about another thing first."
Lu Mingke shouted deeply, and the doctor presented a tea cup.
Lu Mingke took it, brought it to Shen Qingrong and said, "This is Xingyuan's filial piety tea for me. Have you tried it?"
When Shen Qingrong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
There was only half a cup of tea in the cup, and the color was slightly turbid. It looked like it was leftover tea from the previous night.
The tea was presented to her by the government doctor, and Lu Mingke asked her about it, obviously knowing that there was something wrong with the tea.
Shen Qingrong lowered his eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to make excuses.
Lu Mingke shook the teacup and said, "Xingyuan said you gave him this tea, and he took a sip last night."
"He...how can he drink."
For a moment, Shen Qingrong looked panicked, lost her composure, and was unable to speak clearly.
"Why can't he drink?" Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong and asked.
Shen Qingrong tightened her clothes and did not dare to look into Lu Mingke's eyes.
"Xingyuan is still young and can't sleep while drinking tea at night." Shen Qingrong racked his brains and forced out a reason.
Lu Mingke laughed when he heard this, and said clearly every word: "Okay, then I will let him drink it during the day, every day."
When Shen Qingrong heard this, she immediately retorted: "No, Xingyuan can't drink it."
How could he be so cruel! Even though he knew there was something wrong with the tea, he still let Xingyuan drink it! That was his only son. Even if the tiger's poison didn't eat its own son, Lu Mingke was too cruel.
"I can drink, why can't he." Lu Mingke looked at Shen Qingrong.
"Because...because..." Shen Qingrong was panicking, speaking incoherently, and couldn't think of a suitable reason for the moment.
Lu Mingke suddenly stood up, smashed the tea cup in front of Shen Qingrong and said, "Because there is a drug in this tea!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
"What did you say?" Lu He, who was weak, coughed urgently, and the doctor hurriedly warned him.
Mrs. Lu was stunned and lost her mind, forgetting to react for a moment.
Lu Mingke only told them last night that he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but didn't mention anything else.
"Pa!" Su Rou, who was silent, suddenly stood up and rushed over, giving Shen Qingrong an angry slap in the face.
No wonder Lu Mingke looked somber when he came back last night, that's why.
Shen Qingrong was stunned. After coming back to his senses, he glared at Su Ju and said, "Bitch, why do you hit me?"
She is older, she is younger, how dare she hit her!
Shen Qingrong was extremely angry and used all his strength to break free from the clutches of his mother-in-law and slap him back.
However, the two women holding her down were strong and strong, and the thin Shen Qingrong could not break away at all.
"Pa!" Another slap. Su Rou's chest heaved violently after the slap, and she said angrily: "You just poisoned our mother and daughter. My husband treats Xing Yuan so well and tolerates you again and again. How could you do this? Vicious!"
"Am I vicious?" Shen Qingrong looked at Su Rou and said with eyes split open: "What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? If it weren't for you, how could Xingyuan and I be forced into such a situation?"
"He just dislikes our mother and son and favors you. He also puts me under house arrest. He is so cruel and heartless that he doesn't even care about the relationship between husband and wife."
Shen Qingrong snorted coldly, then looked at Lu He and his wife and said sternly: "And you, you said that your family has a pure family tradition and good etiquette, and you don't condone your son to marry an equal wife and destroy the legitimate wife... I just said it wrong. In just one sentence, he taught me a lesson and even wanted to kill me."
Shen Qingrong sneered and said resentfully: "If I don't fight back and find a way to protect myself, am I waiting for you to step on my bones and drink wine and laugh!"
"If you say I'm vicious, who are you? Look at the look in your eyes. You all want to peel me off and tear me apart. How vicious you are..."
At this point, Shen Qingrong knew that she could no longer hide what she had done, and that there was no chance of her turning around, so she simply smashed the jar, shouted out all the resentment and anger in her heart, and vented it to her heart's content.
She thought it through before doing it. If successful, Lu He will die, Lu Mingke will become the marquis, and will be unable to have any more heirs. Lu Xingyuan is his only son, and Lu Mingke has no choice but to pay attention to Lu Xingyuan.
And she, naturally, can take the position of Madam Hou as her mother, and how she wants to treat Su Rou and her daughter depends entirely on their mood.
If you fail, it will be a dead end. The Lu family also wanted her life, so it couldn't be worse.
Therefore, Shen Qingrong decided to give it a try while she still had some freedom and the ability to fight back.
These days are really a good opportunity. The Lu family's thoughts are all on Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, and no one pays attention to her. Facts have proved that she did succeed, but God was blind and did not help her.
Just a little bit, she succeeded.
After yelling and scolding all the Lu family members, Shen Qingrong was so happy that she fell to the ground as if she was exhausted, her eyes full of bone-gnawing hatred, and her face full of crazy sarcasm.
"Vicious woman!" Lu Mingke gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever thought that if you do this, you will harm Xingyuan!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingrong met Lu Mingke's gaze and said with fearless hatred: "It wasn't me who harmed him, it was you!"
She repeatedly told Lu Xingyuan not to drink that tea. It was Lu Mingke, he was the one who fed it to Lu Xingyuan.
Fortunately, Lu Xingyuan only took a sip and had no significant impact.
However, after this incident, Lu Xingyuan was afraid that he would be completely rejected and have no hope of becoming a prince.
She only regretted that she woke up too late, took action too late, and failed to make Lu Mingke extinct.
