Chapter 649: Mother Lu Vomits Blood
By the end of what she had said, Mother Lu no longer had enough strength left and almost hoarsely shouted out these words.
Yin Li narrowed his eyes, closed the fan, and slowly tapped it on his palm: "So, I am the one who is meddling in other people's business?"
Hu Xin'er noticed his subtle expression and said hurriedly, "Don't misunderstand me. Maybe I was just confused for a moment."
Although Yin Li did not say it explicitly, he had helped the Lu family track down the prince's spy a few days ago, which was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also life-threatening. Now that he had revealed the truth, he not only did not receive any gratitude from the Lu family, but was even blamed. He couldn't help but feel that his kindness was being taken for granted.
Hu Xin'er knew that he had no feelings for the Lu family and that everything he did was for her. Although she couldn't return the same feelings to Yin Li, she still respected him.
She is not the kind of ungrateful person, nor will she do whatever she wants just because others like her. She has her own standards in her heart.
Yin Li didn't comment on her words. He took two steps back, leaned against the door, fanned himself and watched the show. He didn't untie Jiang Ning's acupoints, nor did he have any intention of saying anything.
Mu Qing looked at his mother helplessly. Although he did not like Yin Li, he had to admit that his love rival was right. His mother seemed to be a little confused.
Not to mention that Jiang Ning was just an orphan they had taken in a few days ago. Even if she was really a member of the Jiang family who was left behind, or even if she was Mu Qing's biological sister, she could not be let off easily after committing such a crime of murdering others!
She was able to hide in the Lu family for so long, and was able to stir up the situation single-handedly. How deep and vicious must her mind be? Keeping her would be a disaster!
"Mother, you are tired." Mu Qing said softly, "Yun Jue, take mother back to rest."
Mother Lu angrily shouted, "Don't touch me! If you still have me as your mother, you must swear to protect Jiang Ning and never hurt her."
Seeing her reaction so big, everyone in the room looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Even Miss Du couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Aunt Lu doesn't usually seem unreasonable, so why is she acting so abnormal today? Is she really sick and confused?"
Mother Lu naturally saw the expressions of the crowd. She knew that her words were untenable, but the hidden feelings in her heart were really hard to express.
She looked at Hu Xin'er again and pleaded, "Xin'er, I know you're capable. You can definitely convince them both, right?"
Hu Xiner has the best relationship with Lu's mother on weekdays, not to mention that Lu's mother is a patient at this time. Logically speaking, filial piety is the most important virtue, so she should naturally obey Lu's mother.
But this time, the one who got hurt... was Mu Qing.
She held her husband's hand tightly, a bitter feeling welling up in her heart. She wanted to ask Mother Lu: "Do you know that your son won't live for long? And the culprit is Jiang Ning, the person you are trying so hard to protect?"
However, this truth is too cruel. If it is really spoken out, it will definitely aggravate Lu's mother's illness.
She looked at Mu Qing, but Mu Qing looked at Lu's mother silently. Finally, his lips moved silently, and he whispered a few words to Hu Xin'er.
Mother Lu's eyes became more eager: "Xin'er, I don't have many days left to live. Can't you fulfill my last wish?"
Hu Xin'er unconsciously avoided Mother Lu's gaze and said with great difficulty, "Mother, I know you love Jiang Ning... How about this? As long as she hands over the antidote and promises not to have any contact with the Crown Prince from now on, I will not care about this matter anymore."
Mother Lu was delighted and looked at the others.
Lu Yunjue pursed his lips and said, "Mother, please don't say such unlucky words again. Your health is more important. I will listen to my sister-in-law."
Yin Li said coldly, "Silly girl, have you been blinded by marrying into their family? Just wait, if you keep this traitor, she will eat you all up sooner or later."
Hu Xin'er forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Yin Li was stunned. She didn't expect that she, who was always optimistic and argumentative, would say such a thing.
Although he knew that her low mood was mostly due to Mu Qing, Yin Li's eyes softened for a moment.
He raised his fan as if he wanted to do something, but it only signaled Mu Qing to untie Jiang Ning's acupuncture points: "Anyway, as for him, I have already captured him. You can do whatever you want with him from now on."
Humph, anyway, he just needs to protect Hu Xiner. He doesn't want to get involved in finding the traitor again!
In his mind, the people of the Lu family are all ungrateful and white-eyed wolves, who only know how to let Hu Xiner take the lead.
When the Lu family suffers the consequences of their own actions and all die, can't he just take Hu Xin'er home? Hehe, he got a child for nothing.
Thinking of this, Yin Li couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
What no one expected was that at the moment Mu Qing stepped forward to untie Jiang Ning's acupoints, more than a dozen hidden darts flew out at once.
The focus of the attack was Hu Xiner and other elderly, weak, women and children!
Mu Qing and Yin Li were both startled and subconsciously protected Hu Xiner.
The other powerful warriors in the field also protected their relatives and took this opportunity to
Two black shadows flew down from the beams and quickly untied Jiang Ning's acupoints.
They were extremely fast, and while rescuing Jiang Ning, they also sprinkled a cloud of white powder into the room.
Yin Li noticed something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Hold your breath! This powder is poisonous!"
Fortunately, when the few of them were having a secret conversation just now, all the irrelevant servants had been evacuated, otherwise the servants would have been injured by the powder because they had no martial arts skills.
Then, he fed a pill in his arms into Hu Xiner's mouth and wanted to chase the two black shadows, but it was too late.
The two black shadows had extremely high lightness skills. Even though they were holding Jiang Ning, the burden, in their arms, they did not slow down at all. In just three or two breaths, they had rushed out of the courtyard wall.
Jiang Ning laughed out loud and said, "Thank you, Madam Lu, for your generosity and kindness. It allowed me to live up to my reputation as a killer and successfully complete my mission!"
The room was filled with the smell of medicinal powder, and everyone followed it into the courtyard. Although the cold wind was harsh on people, it was able to blow away the remaining medicinal powder.
"Who is this? His martial arts skills are so powerful, and his methods are so vicious!" Master Du, with lingering fear, asked his wife and daughter to stand in the windward area, looking at the sky outside the wall with a solemn expression.
"Those seem to be the two guardians around the prince." Lu Yunjue said hatefully, "She is indeed someone sent by the prince!"
I still remember that when the prince was escaping from the capital, he used these bodyguards. If it weren't for their protection, the prince would never have been able to escape from the capital.
Jiang Ning's status should not be low, otherwise she would not have sent this guardian to rescue her.
"What should we do now?" Things happened so suddenly that everyone was at a loss.
