Chapter 223 In this life, I only want my wife

Lu Wei confessed everything and said that it was the nanny who gave her the medicine.

Lu Jiangnian remained calm, but like Yuan Wanru, he suspected that the medicine came from Liang Yusong.

He has always been alert. If it was an ordinary aphrodisiac, he should have been able to find out something was wrong long ago.

The drug was like making one drunk at first, with no other reaction at all. That was why he was careless for a moment and something went wrong.

He carefully observed Lu Wei's expression and concluded that she was not lying.

Next, he interrogated the nanny beside Lu Wei.

"Slave, slave, I don't know anything."

Lu Jiangnian gave Xuan Qing a look, and he raised the dagger and stabbed at the old woman. Before he got close, the old woman screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

Speaking of it, it’s not complicated.

The masters of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion lived in the temporary palace, and all of them were accompanied by personal servants.

In Yunyouju, there were a few sturdy old women who had been cleaning the palace. After the people from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery moved in, the cleaning work was still done by these old women.

Among them was an old woman named Ai, who was sweet-talking and capable, and became close to the nanny around Lu Wei.

When talking about interesting things in my hometown, I mentioned a kind of aphrodisiac. The effect was so extraordinary that even a pure-hearted and selfless monk could not avoid being aroused.

Nanny is Lu Wei's confidant. Although Lu Wei did not say it explicitly, she could guess that Lu Wei had never given up on bringing Lu Jiangnian and Liu Jun together.

The master has his worries, and the servants have their troubles.

So, she made up her mind and asked Mrs. Ai for some sleeping pills in advance in case of emergency.

I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

The nanny was still feeling complacent, thinking that she had foresight and had solved her master's troubles. After the task was accomplished, Lu Wei would definitely reward her.

Unexpectedly, instead of receiving a reward, he was faced with an interrogation.

I see.

Their residence in Yunyouju was originally a setup, and that old lady Ai was a nail placed there by others to deal with him.

Concubine Liang, Madam Zhaohua, and Concubine Zhao all took charge of a part of the palace affairs, and only these three people could plan the layout of the palace.

Before moving in, he had already inquired about it and found out that the accommodation for the officials' families in the palace would be arranged by Concubine Zhao.

If it were just a few months ago, he would definitely not have suspected Concubine Liang.

However, at present, Concubine Liang is the most suspicious. After all, Liang Yusong is in the mansion. She must have guessed that Lu Wei wanted him to marry Liu Jun. It is not difficult for her to add fuel to the fire and make this happen.

After all, Lu Wei is such a stupid and selfish person that just a few words from others can make her jump into a trap.

As he expected, Mrs. Ai had disappeared without a trace.

"Kill all those involved."

When Lu Jiangnian walked out of the dark room, he saw Quartz coming back.

She handed over a pill: "Madam said that she asked you to give this medicine to Madam Liu to prevent her from having children."

So straightforward?

My lady is indeed vindictive.

Lu Jiangnian got the medicine and said nothing.

-

Lu Jiangnian looked for Lu Wei again and asked, "Have you told Liang Yusong about Liu Jun's matter?"

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he mentioned Liang Yusong: "No."

"Think about it carefully."

His pair of sharp black eyes stared at her intently. Lu Wei was furious, but she didn't dare to vent her anger at this moment, because in her eyes, Lu Jiangnian was just a devil whom she couldn't afford to offend.

"I didn't say that."

"I only mentioned it to her once. We became estranged because of Yuanshi. I never mentioned anything about Liu Jun."

After all, it is not glorious for a sister to take a concubine for her brother. If it fails and rumors spread, it will be bad for both the Lu family and her.

She couldn't be that confused.

Although she never said it, Lu Jiangnian concluded that Liang Yusong had guessed the truth.

This woman is very scheming and Lu Wei is no match for her at all.

"I have already arranged Liu Jun's marriage. In the letter I sent this morning, I told the Liu family that you don't have to arrange her marriage anymore."

Speaking of this, Lu Wei couldn't help but asked, "You touched her, but you don't want her?"

Isn't this forcing Liu Jun to die?

At this moment, she seemed like an older sister who cared about her younger siblings, but she was Liu Jun's sister, not Lu Jiangnian's sister.

Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes: "I didn't touch her. In this life, I only touch my wife."

Lu Wei couldn't describe how she felt. Having heard the nanny talk about the efficacy of the medicine, she thought it was a sure thing, but it overturned her understanding.

"Last night, you were in the house..."

How did he get through it?

Lu Jiangnian's heart was completely cold.

"I stabbed myself ten times with a dagger. Are you satisfied?"

He raised his head and looked at Lu Wei, with deep mockery in his eyes. Lu Wei didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

Last night, she didn't notice at all that Lu Jiangnian was injured.

"It's you... who is asking for trouble."

Blame her?

In this matter, Lu Wei felt that she was wrong, but she was not guilty of a heinous crime.

Afterwards, she felt extremely aggrieved at Lu Jiangnian's treatment of her.

She didn't want to stay in this palace anymore. She wanted to go back home and tell her parents and grandmother. They would definitely support her.

Lu Jiangnian sneered. As expected, he shouldn't have any expectations.

This person doesn't deserve him to be nice to her.

"Pack your things, take Liu Jun with you, and return to Anzhou immediately."

He stood up, and Lu Wei also stood up: "I still have a lot of things at home. I have to go back to Beijing and then go back to Anzhou."

Lu Jiangnian looked at her with a half-smile: "Want to go back and complain?"

He approached her, and Lu Wei had a bad feeling in her heart, and she stepped back repeatedly: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Jiangnian pinched her mouth and fed her the medicine in his hand, quickly and without any hesitation.

Lu Wei didn't want to eat, but she had no strength to resist. After swallowing the pill, Lu Jiangnian let her go.

She bent over and coughed, trying to get the pill out, but it was completely useless.

"What did you feed me?"

Lu Jiangnian stood straight, without any distress on his face: "Poison, the antidote is in my hands."

"Lu Jiangnian!"

At this point, Lu Wei couldn't believe that the cold-blooded, cruel and vicious man in front of her would be her brother.

"If you like drugging people, then have a taste of what it feels like to be drugged by someone else."

"Shut your mouth."

"This medicine is called 'Toad'. If the poison takes effect, your whole body will emit a foul odor like a toad, and pustules will swell on your skin, and your whole body will ulcerate."

"Just stay in Anzhou and I'll have someone send you the antidote every year."

After saying that, he stopped looking at her and turned away.

Lu Wei ran over quickly and tried to grab his sleeve to keep him, but Lu Jiangnian had already moved away.

"Don't leave..."

The voice was shrill, but it didn't make Lu Jiangnian show any mercy.

Although he hated her, his parents still had sympathy for her.

That's all for now.

Lu Wei contracted a disease suspected to be big head plague and left in a hurry. This news soon reached the ears of Concubine Liang.
