Chapter 32 The Little White Flower Transforms into a Man-Eating Plant
Everyone looked at Qiu He upon hearing this. Madam Chen sneered, "If I hadn't kept her by my side, how could you have believed my innocence so easily?"
"Evil woman!" Master Chen couldn't bear it any longer and covered his chest with his hands. "Come here! Bring me paper and pen. I want to divorce my wife today!"
"Father!" Chen Wenjian stopped his mother. "No, Mother is not conscious yet. We don't know whether what she said is true or not. Why rush into this now? It won't be too late to ask her after she wakes up before making a decision."
As soon as Chen Wenjian said this, the surging anger in Mr. Chen's heart had to dissipate a little when he looked at him. After all, this was his only son, and now the Chen family was counting on him to pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to the family.
Divorce was inevitable, but he could not let his son blame him.
Master Chen felt extremely exhausted. "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! Someone, take good care of this vicious woman. When she wakes up, let me know immediately!"
Although this farce has not yet ended, Mrs. Chen's fate has been determined. Regardless of whether she is divorced or not, her status in the Chen family will never return to what it was before.
Lu Wanning looked at Aunt An, but found that her face was pale and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The old lady was sent back to rest, and Mr. Chen went to the long-abandoned courtyard of Concubine Liu.
Qi Muchao was asked to go back to the side room to rest first, while Lu Wanning went to Aunt An's room.
But before he reached Aunt An's yard, he was stopped by Chen Wenjian who suddenly appeared.
"You did it, right?" Chen Wenjian stood in front of her with a complicated look.
Lu Wanning took a step back. Hongling and Luoluo were left in the Prince's Mansion. Now, the person following her was Hu Yan, the maid arranged for her by Qi Muchao.
The maid stood in front and waited for her to speak.
It seemed that as long as she opened her mouth, she would be able to pick up Chen Wenjian and throw him away.
Lu Wanning blinked innocently and said, "I don't understand what you mean, sir."
If she was determined to pretend to be confused, Chen Wenjian would have no choice, but he was standing here stubbornly, not asking for an answer.
After all, he had already guessed the answers from Lu Wanning's reaction, right?
"You are the doctor in Huichun Hall. You also bribed the maidservant beside my mother, right?"
The smile on Lu Wanning's face faded a little, but she remained calm. "Young Master is quite good at arranging an identity for me. It's true that I have some simple medical skills, but how can I enter Huichun Hall? Moreover, why would I have to target Madam for no reason?"
"As for Qiu He," she smiled, her eyes tinged with mockery, "Why would I need to bribe her? Madam, you harmed his brother and kept him under your nose. You should be prepared to be pecked, right?"
"It's not for nothing. You blame your mother. You blame her for drugging you and wanting to marry you to Wu Er."
"Young Master, please be careful with your words," Lu Wanning's face darkened. "Although I don't know what your intention is in saying these words, if I remember correctly, it seemed that you were the one lying disheveled with the Second Young Master Wu."
"Why me? Don't you know?"
Lu Wanning remained calm, "How would I know? Perhaps you could ask the Madam. Perhaps she would know better than me."
Chen Wenjian felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had not realized in the past three years that Lu Wanning, who always acted cautiously, was actually not a little white flower that was easily beaten by wind and rain, but a carnivorous plant.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Do you blame her for not attacking her mother because she had been taken in by the Chen family for three years?
Or should she blame her for letting her mother fall into this situation just because her mother drugged her, which did not cause her any harm?
But her revenge was based on the fact that her mother had actually done these things.
Even though Chen Wenjian was unwilling to believe it, he knew that Aunt Liu's death must be related to his mother.
As for the rest, he didn't have time to think about it.
Now he was standing in front of Lu Wanning, all because of a momentary impulse.
Now that the impulse had dissipated, he took a step back and made room for Lu Wanning.
With an indifferent look falling on Chen Wenjian, Lu Wanning suddenly spoke, "Young Master, you think I'm making a fuss out of nothing and shouldn't blame me, right?"
Without waiting for Chen Wenjian to answer, Lu Wanning took a step forward. Her voice seemed to be melted by the hot weather and blew over with the warm wind.
"I knew you were no good either."
Leaving Chen Wenjian standing outside in a daze, Lu Wanning had already entered Aunt An's yard.
What happened today really scared Aunt An.
Perhaps because she knew Lu Wanning would come, she did not rest but sat at the table waiting.
When Lu Wanning walked in, Aunt An was still in a daze. When she heard her cough lightly, she came to her senses, quickly stood up, and pulled Lu Wanning over to sit down, her eyes full of tension.
"What is Auntie thinking?"
Aunt An hesitated for a moment and asked, "I haven't been pregnant in all these years. If not, would I have ended up like the one in the Liu Courtyard?"
Lu Wanning pursed her lips, and instantly thought of the scene in her previous life where Aunt An died with two lives. Her pupils trembled violently, and her hands hanging by her sides clenched suddenly.
After a long pause, she smiled at Aunt An and said, "So, who can really tell whether some things are a blessing or a curse?"
"There are many things going on in the Chen Mansion, big and small. Now that Madam is in trouble, the Master must be overwhelmed and unable to take care of himself. There are also many people in the business world who are eyeing the Chen family. Naturally, he has no energy to manage the affairs of the Mansion. The Madam is old and has even less energy. The power of the family will fall into the hands of the Second Madam for the time being."
"But the master is very dissatisfied with the gambling addiction of the second wife and her husband, so he naturally dares not hand over the leadership of the family to you for too long. The best way is to make you the principal wife, and let you take over the leadership. Is your aunt ready?"
Aunt An looked nervous and said, "How can I manage a household?"
"No one is born knowing everything," Lu Wanning said this time without trying to coax her. Instead, she spoke in a serious tone, "Wanning knows that Auntie likes children, but is Auntie willing to be a concubine for the rest of her life? When she has a child in the future, will she have to call everyone else mother and only you, Auntie?"
Children born to a concubine are inferior from birth.
She knew her aunt's temper and knew she would only move forward if forced to do so.
Sure enough, not long after the words fell, Aunt An made up her mind, "You are right. Regardless of whether I can have children or not, for your sake, I have to stand up well."
The Marquis of Tongping's Mansion and the Prince of Qi's Mansion are in opposition. Mr. Chen obviously stands on the side of the Marquis of Tongping's Mansion, but she knows this man. Except for Chen Wenjian, he actually doesn't value the daughters in the mansion.
Profits are the most important thing.
If she could manage the Chen Mansion in an orderly manner and gain the right to speak, she might be able to help Wan Ning someday in the future.
