Two servants stepped forward and held Lu Qingqing down, while a maid took a pair of scissors and cut a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt with a click.

"Doctor Mu."

The maid handed the cut cloth to Doctor Mu. Doctor Mu held it in his hand and smelled it, and could still smell a faint scent of peony flowers.

He beckoned the medicine boy to bring the medicine box over. He opened it, took out a bottle of peony powder, and handed it to General Gao. "Smell this peony powder and see if it matches the faint fragrance on this clothing."

General Gao took the peony powder and smelled it, then took the piece of cloth and compared them. Finally, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the same smell."

"The fabric of this dress has been soaked in peony juice. Although the smell is a bit lighter, I have been practicing medicine for many years and am very familiar with this smell. People who don't often come into contact with peonies really won't notice it."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Mu."

"No, after treating Gao Yi, I came here out of curiosity. Now that the matter has been confirmed, I will take my leave."

"yes."

General Gao personally escorted Doctor Mu to the door. Before leaving, he ordered, "Someone tie her up first!"

After a pause, he continued, "Everyone else can go back home first. Everyone from the Lu and Chen families can stay."

After saying that, he turned to Doctor Mu and said, "Doctor Mu, please!"

With the permission of General Gao, everyone stood up and hurriedly left the Gao Mansion, fearing that they would be implicated if they left too late. The Lu and Chen families were all surrounded.

Lu Qingqing was even tied up.

Chen Lei was so angry that he almost jumped up. He walked over to Lu Qingqing and slapped her in the face: "Ignorant and stupid woman!"

Lu Qingqing was already feeling aggrieved, but her husband not only did not help her, but also blamed her instead. She felt very disappointed.

"It's not me, I don't know what's going on?"

Suddenly, she thought of something, turned her head to look at Gu Yunran, and said to Chen Lei: "My husband is her. I stole this dress from her. She must have deliberately wanted to harm me."

Gu Yunran was furious: "What are you talking about, elder sister? Why would I frame you?"

As she spoke, Gu Yunran began to cry in grievance: "I have no grudge against the Gao family, why did you harm Gao Yi? Sister, don't you dare to wrong people like this."

"We are a family. What good will it do me to harm you?"

"I'm now stuck with my elder sister and can't leave. Who can I talk to about my grievances?"

The more Gu Yunran spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears streamed down her face. She was already beautiful, and her crying made people's hearts melt.

Chen Lei looked at her with great distress: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Gu Yunran shook her head, pursed her lips and said nothing, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lu Qingqing was furious. She asked, "Then why would I harm Gao Yi?"

Gu Yunran's eyes lit up. She lowered her head and whispered, "My elder sister has always said that General Chen is the most favored student of General Gao. When General Gao retires in the future, General Chen will take over the position of General."

"General Gao has no sons, only a grandson like Gao Yi..."

Gu Yunran hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was already self-evident.

General Gao, who had just sent Doctor Mu away, came back at this time. After hearing these words, he stared at Lu Qingqing with a gloomy look.

He looked at Chen Lei again: "Did your wife say this?"

Chen Lei was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, "Teacher, the lady did say that, but..."

Chen Lei swore to heaven, "I have never had such thoughts before. Please understand, teacher."

Lu Qingqing has said this more than once. You can find out the truth by asking any maid at Chen's house or Lu's house.

Chen Lei didn't dare to lie.

He glared at Lu Qingqing angrily, and hated her so much that he wanted to give her a three-foot white silk and let her hang herself quickly.

Lu Qingqing pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to speak again. After a long while, she whispered, "Master Taiwei, I really didn't know that the young master was allergic to peony flowers. I was wronged."

But no one believed it.

General Gao snorted coldly: "Humph! You have been thinking about harming Yi'er for a long time!"

He looked at Chen Lei and said, "Fortunately, Yi'er is fine. You can handle it yourself. From now on, your relationship as teacher and student is over. You are not allowed to set foot in my Gao family."

He flicked his sleeves and left, and before leaving he gave Gu Yunran a meaningful look.

Gu Yunran met General Gao's gaze generously, with no fear on her face, but her hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and her palms were sweaty.

Chen Lei knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, regretting that he had married an unvirtuous wife. He would make amends and hoped that General Gao could give him a chance to make amends.

However, the only answer he got was the sound of cold wind.

As soon as General Gao left, Chen Lei collapsed on the ground in despair. The seven-foot-tall man's eyes were bloodshot and he muttered to himself.

"Everything I've fought so hard for is going to be destroyed in an instant."

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Qingqing was frightened and hurried over to help him: "Husband, don't scare me!"

Bang!

Chen Lei wished Lu Qingqing would die. He slapped Lu Qingqing in the face but still not satisfied, so he strangled Lu Qingqing's neck with both hands.

"You bitch, all my efforts have been wasted because of you. I will kill you!"

His grandfather was a junior general in the army, and his father fought for his life to become a captain. In his generation, he was smart and good at studying and martial arts. He was lucky enough to be noticed by General Gao, who trained him all the way and helped him achieve his current status.
