Chapter 381: Deliberately Torturing Old Lady Lu
Aunt Shen was writing quickly at her desk, the tip of her pen making a rustling sound on the rice paper, and in the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had passed.
The wax on the candlesticks was piled up layer by layer, and the candlelight that was about to go out cast shadows in the hall.
Old Madam Lu slumped in the armchair, her face purple, her ten fingers tightly gripping the armrests, making a "crunching" sound.
"Second brother..." She tugged at Lu Bai's sleeve, breathlessly, "Is mom...going to die...quickly...quickly call a doctor..."
Lu Bai was sweating profusely and turned to Wang Min: "Sister-in-law, mother's condition is really dangerous. We can't delay any longer!"
Yuan Wanru took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly, "Unless we invite Gao Peng from the Imperial Hospital, ordinary doctors will be helpless."
"However, Second Uncle, Gao Peng is not a good guy either. Aunt Shen was poisoned by Gao Peng."
"Wan Ru!"
Lu Bai's voice changed, "You just said there was an antidote!"
"The antidote I have is in the teapot."
Yuan Wanru waved her hands helplessly, "Second Aunt and Jiang Xun just drank up the last two pots of tea. I don't have any more antidote."
She looked at Aunt Shen meaningfully, "The old lady treats Aunt Shen so kindly, I believe she will be generous in giving me medicine?"
Lu Bai rushed to Aunt Shen and tried to overturn the inkstone, but Shi Ying stopped him: "Second Master, Aunt Shen still has to write a confession."
He was stunned for a moment, holding back his anger, and yelled at Aunt Shen: "Bitch! Hand over the antidote!"
Aunt Shen calmly put down her brush and raised her eyes with sarcasm: "I only have poison, Master, do you want any?"
The corners of her lips curled up into a strange smile, "When the drug takes effect, it's like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart. It's the most suitable for the old lady."
"You bastard!"
Lu Bai angrily kicked over the chair next to him and yelled to the door, "Someone! Go get the doctor!"
But it was quiet outside the courtyard. Xuanying and his men surrounded Rongshou Hall tightly. Of course, they would not obey Lu Bai's orders.
Yuan Wanru looked at Old Madam Lu coldly, she was really afraid of death.
In fact, even if Madam Lu eats a lot, her life will not be in danger. She will just feel uncomfortable.
She was too afraid of death and scared herself.
Yuan Wanru didn't intend to expose the truth. She slowly walked up to Madam Lu, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, you have lived to such an old age, and your ability to judge people is truly admirable."
She gently patted the old lady's throbbing hand and asked, "Do you know why we couldn't find the cause of her coma?"
Madam Lu raised her eyes and looked at her with a look of panic.
"Liang Yusong cast a spell on you."
Yuan Wanru spoke word by word, "The girl you treat as your own granddaughter personally cast a sleeping nightmare poison on you."
“No… Impossible…” The old lady began to tremble violently.
"She has no reason to hurt me. Why would she hurt me?"
"Why did you hurt me?"
Yuan Wanru sneered, "Because you want her to be your granddaughter-in-law."
She looked at the old woman with cold eyes, "After you fell into a coma, Rongshu Bald Donkey came to your house and said that I was your nemesis. This was all set up by Liang Yusong, just to use you to get rid of me."
When talking about forgiveness, Zhou Fang's expression became unnatural.
She must keep this in mind and not offend Yuan Wanru in the slightest.
No, tomorrow morning, she will give Yuan Wanru one thousand taels of silver.
Zhou Fang, having made up her mind, felt at ease again. After all, she had given the money, and Yuan Wanru would not hold a grudge against her anymore.
The candle flame suddenly burst into a spark, illuminating Yuan Wanru's face.
Her voice was as soft as cotton wool, but every word was piercing: "The Liang Yusong you loved so much cast a spell on you, the Aunt Shen you trusted poisoned you, old lady, old lady, your eyes..."
She gently tapped Madam Lu's brow and asked, "Why do you treat poisonous snakes like treasures?"
Mrs. Lu was stimulated by this and suddenly started coughing violently.
"Second brother, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!"
Lu Bai was dissatisfied and got angry at Yuan Wanru: "Wanru, don't say these things, isn't this irritating to mother?"
Yuan Wanru said softly, "Uncle, don't worry. I'll have someone send the antidote over right away."
Lu Bai glared at him: "Didn't you just say you didn't have it?"
Yuan Wanru said innocently: "I don't have any on me, but my men do."
"The old lady will be safe and sound."
Lu Bai: ...
It's such a short sentence, but she has to split it into several parts?
I always feel that she tortured his mother on purpose.
But he had no evidence.
-
Aunt Shen finally put down her brush and presented a thick stack of charges.
Yuan Wanru took it and looked at it carefully. Under the candlelight, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips - just as she expected, the wedding dress that was destroyed was made by Aunt Shen.
"Uncle, please take a look."
Yuan Wanru handed the indictment to Lu Bai and said calmly, "It's written clearly in black and white. You can't say that our eldest wife framed you, right?"
Lu Bai took the paper with trembling hands and his eyes fell on the densely written handwriting.
He forced a smile: "This... This is natural..."
Zhou Fang couldn't help but come forward out of curiosity, and gasped after reading just a few lines.
This Aunt Shen actually did so many evil things secretly - she stirred up conflicts among the different rooms, secretly instigated Aunt Pan to do evil, and even Aunt Pan's death by drowning was all due to her involvement.
Zhou Fang suddenly remembered all the troubles she had made to Aunt Shen every day, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on her back. If that bitch had tampered with her diet...
"Master..."
Zhou Fang's voice trembled, and she unconsciously leaned towards Lu Bai, "This Shen family is so vicious..."
She suddenly felt her legs go weak, and her former arrogance was gone.
The human heart is hard to predict.
For the first time, Zhou Fang clearly realized the weight of these words.
She can't afford to offend anyone. She should change her temper in the future.
Yuan Wanru took in everyone's expressions and tapped the table with her fingertips: "How does Second Uncle plan to deal with this?"
Her eyes swept over Aunt Shen who was sitting silently in the chair.
Beads of sweat oozed out of Lu Bai's forehead, and the evidence in his hands rustled.
"This matter is of great importance. I..."
"Listen to my elder brother and his wife."
Wang Min sighed, "I just found out recently that the Second Prince and the Liang family have been eyeing our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. Jiang Nian once said that Liang Yusong's rescue of the old lady was probably staged by her and she took the opportunity to move into the Lu family."
"You don't know how much burden Jiang Nian and Wan Ru have carried."
"I feel very uncomfortable."
"I don't understand these things either. Just listen to Wanru."
Wang Min made the final decision and Lu Bai had nothing to say.
"What about Lusa?"
After all, it is his child.
Lu Bai looked at Yuan Wanru, and Yuan Wanru said calmly: "Originally, my idea was to keep Sixth Sister, but after what happened tonight, keeping her may not be a good thing."
"No matter what, let Aunt Shen meet her and explain these things clearly."
"We can't let Sixth Sister harbor resentment towards the Lu family."
"Let's make plans after everything is over."
