Chapter 379 I am the one you are looking for
In contrast, Aunt Shen's reaction was much calmer.
Aunt Shen looked calm, bowed slightly and said, "Where did the Crown Prince's wife come from? I really don't understand."
Yuan Wanru sneered and raised her voice suddenly: "Xuanying, clear the place immediately! Servants in each room, send all the young ladies back to their rooms. Corral this place and don't let even a fly out!"
She turned to Lu Bai and said in a slightly slower tone, "Uncle, Aunt, and Jiang Xun, please stay and listen to what happened."
Lu Bai nodded blankly: "Oh...Okay, I'll listen to you."
He rubbed his hands subconsciously, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhou Fang and Lu Jiangxiun exchanged a puzzled look, and Zhou Fang lowered her voice and asked: "Sister-in-law, this is..." What's going on?
Wang Min said calmly: "You will know in a moment."
Aunt Shen was certain that Yuan Wanru really knew her background.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly attacked!
She formed her five fingers into claws, trying to reach straight for Yuan Wanru's throat.
In a flash, Quartz, who had been standing behind Aunt Shen like a shadow, made a move like lightning, and subdued Aunt Shen with a back-spin, pressing his knee hard on her lower back, pinning her to the ground.
Madam Lu let out a piercing scream: "What are you doing, what are you doing!"
Aunt Shen acted too quickly just now and the others didn't have time to react. Now, in everyone's eyes, it was the maidservant beside Yuan Wanru who captured the concubine of the second room without any investigation.
"Yuanshi, don't go too far. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"Shen is your second uncle's concubine. She is your elder anyway. You are too arrogant to bully her like this."
The area had not been cleared yet, and Lu Yun and the others had just reached the door. Seeing this sudden change, they couldn't help but look back.
Wang Min immediately stood up, showing her majesty as the mistress of the house: "Everyone, step back! You have nothing to do here."
Aunt Cao had been standing beside Madam Lu, and now she did not move. Wang Min looked at her sharply, "Aunt Cao, are the words of the Marquis' wife no longer effective?"
How could Madam Cao dare to respond? She lowered her head and walked out.
Seeing this, the others also left silently.
However, everyone then filed out.
When Lu Yun reached the door, she couldn't help but look back. Aunt Shen's miserable appearance was in her sight. She didn't dare to look at her again. She turned around, quickened her pace, and left the hall.
After everyone left, Lu Bai seemed to have just reacted. He rushed forward and slapped Aunt Shen hard in the face.
"Bitch!"
He slapped her so hard that half of Aunt Shen's face swelled up immediately. A trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't wipe it or hide. She just lowered her head with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
"explain!"
Lu Bai's eyes were red, and he grabbed Aunt Shen's collar, "Who ordered you to do that?!"
His voice was terribly hoarse and the veins on his forehead bulged. It was obvious that he was thinking about Aunt Pan and was filled with shame and anger.
Aunt Shen said nothing, just like a puppet, letting Lu Bai shake her.
Old Madam Lu finally understood. She didn't believe Yuan Wanru's words at all.
Madam Lu slammed the table and stood up, but then fell back down again due to a sharp pain in her heart.
She panted and said, "Second brother...you are confused! Shen has been with me for these days and has been very honest and dutiful..."
She pointed at Yuan Wanru, her fingers trembling, "It's obvious that this vicious woman can't stand seeing me getting better!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, tears streaming down her face: "All the decent wives in the family think I am old and confused... Only Shen comes to talk to me every day to relieve my boredom..."
Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted her words. She covered her chest with her hands, her face gradually turning blue. "You...you just want to...piss me off to death..."
Yuan Wanru watched coldly.
Old Madam Lu was having trouble breathing, her heart was gripped, and her brows were frowned in unbearable pain.
Lu Bai was horrified and hurried forward to support the old lady.
The old lady was speechless, she just held her son's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of fear. Lu Bai reached out to her back and calmed her down: "Mom, don't get excited, we have something to say slowly."
Yuan Wanru said calmly: "Second Uncle, the old lady is poisoned."
"What!"
Zhou Fa was horrified, and Lu Jiangxun also hurried over to support Old Madam Lu: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
Yuan Wanru looked at Aunt Shen who was lowering her head: "Yes, Aunt Shen, what kind of poison did you give us all?"
"Why not, explain it."
Zhou Fang staggered, put his hand on his throat and tried to induce vomiting, but suddenly he remembered something and ran over like crazy, throwing himself at Lu Jiangxun: "Xun'er! Spit it out! Spit out everything you ate for dinner!"
Her face was covered with tears and snot, and she patted her son's back desperately, not a bit of her usual dignified demeanor.
Lu Bai understood. His face turned pale and his lips trembled: "Wanru, what you mean is..."
Yuan Wanru replied calmly: "Well, Aunt Shen poisoned all the food tonight. The cherry meat in front of the old lady was the most to her liking. She ate most of the dish and was severely poisoned."
Madam Lu rolled her eyes and almost couldn't breathe: "Poisonous woman, if you knew, why didn't you remind me?"
Lu Bai turned to Yuan Wanru, his eyes red with anger: "Yuan Wanru, how could you watch your grandmother eat those things? This will cost her life."
At the end of his speech, his voice changed.
Zhou Fang knelt on the ground, hugged Lu Jiangxun, and cried heartbreakingly: "Wanru... Second Aunt was wrong in the past... But your second brother has always respected you and your wife... Second Aunt will give you whatever you want... Please save him..."
Zhou Fang also looked at Yuan Wanru with horror.
The whole hall was in chaos.
Wang Min went over to help Madam Lu up, but she slapped the back of Wang Min's hand and said, "Get lost. None of you in the first house are good people."
Yuan Wanru narrowed her eyes. Wang Min's hands were already red, which showed how hard the old woman hit her.
It seems that she was too kind. If she had known earlier, she would have asked someone to pour her fewer cups of tea.
"Madam, if it weren't for me, you would have died a long time ago. Since it is said that there are no good people in our first house, then I don't need to give you this antidote."
Lu Bai was stunned for a moment: "Wanru, what do you mean?"
Wang Min said unhappily, "Second brother, Wanru is not a vicious person. She knew that Aunt Shen was going to poison us. The tea we drank contained an antidote. Although we were all poisoned by Aunt Shen, it was not fatal."
Zhou Fang suddenly realized.
No wonder her sister-in-law persuaded her to drink several cups of tea just now.
Zhou Fang rushed over, picked up the teapot and handed it to Lu Jiangxun's mouth: "Drink it up quickly."
Yuan Wanru held her forehead with her hand, "Second Aunt, everyone is fine, don't be nervous."
Lu Bai snorted coldly: "You only remembered your son, why didn't you bring him a pot."
The women around him are not good people!
Zhou Fang stuffed the pot into his hand in a bad mood: "You are the one who caused all this trouble. How dare you say this?"
Lu Bai: ...
Don't mention it, he also felt that he was out of his mind.
What kind of people are you looking for?
Aunt Shen suddenly raised her head and asked, "How could you possibly have the antidote?"
Yuan Wanru pinched her chin and smiled happily: "That's your news, it's too late. I'm the one your master is looking for, the one who can make him impotent."
Aunt Shen looked at her in surprise, having never expected this answer.
