Chapter 428 It was you and your wife who forced her to die
Lu Yuxiu's crying stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her throat.
She stared at her son with wide eyes. After a while, she yelled at Zhou Jianming: "You evil creature! Don't you know which women you can't touch?!"
Lu Yuxiu certainly knew what kind of person her son was. In the past, he had had affairs with all the pretty maids in the mansion.
It's no big deal for a man to be a little romantic.
What's more, Lu Yuxiu didn't think it was Zhou Jianming's fault. It must have been those little rascals who seduced her son.
But no one expected that Zhou Jianming would be so ignorant of his own limits that he actually caused a death in the Lu family.
She struggled and tried to rush over, but as soon as Shi Ying let go of her hand, Lu Yuxiu's people rushed out. She hit Zhou Jianming's shoulder hard. Zhou Jianming screamed in pain and huddled up with his head in his hands holding the uninjured hand.
"Mom, stop hitting me. It hurts."
"It's none of my business. It's her own fault! She died suddenly! It's really none of my business! I just... I just wanted to go see her..."
"Look at her?"
Lu Jiangnian took a step forward, looking down at him, his voice as cold as ice, "Taking advantage of the chaos in my family's house during my sister's wedding, you broke into an aunt's residence? You call this 'take a look'?!"
He suddenly threw a teacup at Zhou Jianming, hitting Zhou Jianming's forehead with great accuracy. All of a sudden, blood gushed out. Zhou Jianming screamed, and his whole face was dyed bright red, looking very scary.
"Evil creature! Evil creature!"
Madam Lu burst into tears, and it was unclear whether she felt sorry for her grandson or was afraid of the emperor's wrath. "How dare you...how dare you do such a thing!"
Lu Yuxiu was heartbroken to see her son in such a miserable state. No matter what, she couldn't just watch her son die.
"Jiang Nian! Auntie, please!"
She actually kowtowed in public, "Jianming...he was just confused for a moment!"
"Mother! Mother, please save Jianming! He is innocent! It's that bitch's own bad luck!"
Seeing this, Madam Lu also looked at Lu Jiangnian and said, "This matter may not be without room for maneuver."
"No matter what, Liang Yuhua is just an insignificant concubine. You are a capable person in front of the emperor. The emperor will definitely not blame you for a woman."
Her shrewd and sarcastic eyes rolled rapidly, and she suddenly raised her voice: "It must be that Aunt Liang who can't bear the loneliness! If she didn't deliberately seduce him, why would Jianming suddenly run to the courtyard?"
"That's right!"
Lu Yuxiu grabbed the straw as if grabbing a life-saving straw, crawled over and hugged the old lady's legs, "Mother is right! Liang Yuhua must be deliberately seducing me! She can't bear to be lonely, so she flirts..."
"hehe!"
"The old lady and my aunt are really evil-minded to the core. No wonder they raised a bastard like Zhou Jianming!"
Lu Yuxiu glared at him: "Yuanshi, shut up."
Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Yuxiu coldly, "Aunt, Aunt Liang's body is still lying in the yard. Her forehead is broken. How about you go and take a look now?"
"Since ancient times, killing someone means paying with one's life. Zhou Jianming really deserves death. Is the old lady still going to protect him?"
"Not only do you not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but you are also eager to throw dirty water on the dead. Aren't you afraid that Aunt Liang will turn into a ghost and come after you?"
Wang Min could no longer bear it: "Yes, we cannot tolerate such a heinous beast in our house. Jiang Nian, send him to the government immediately."
Lu Yuxiu quickly crawled back and hugged Zhou Jianming: "No, you can't take my son away, mother, Jianming is still a child!"
Madam Lu slammed the table heavily and said, "Wang, Yuan, please stop exaggerating."
She turned to Lu Jiangnian and her voice suddenly softened.
"Jiang Nian, Grandmother knows that you have the best ideas. Can we say that Liang herself fell into the well because of her own mistakes? She is just a concubine, and the descendant of a criminal. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Zhou Fang suddenly shouted: "Madam! This matter is really unbearable!"
She tugged at Lu Bai's sleeve and cried, "Master, please say something! The old lady has made a mistake, and we can't be confused together. For the sake of that damn Zhou Jianming, she is sacrificing our entire family!"
"Jiang Xun obviously has a bright future. Can you bear to ruin him?"
Lu Bai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was already soaked: "Mom, this matter is not as simple as you think."
"Second brother!"
Lu Yuxiu wailed miserably, like a mad woman, "Can you bear to watch your nephew die?"
Zhou Fang pouted: "He asked for his own death, can he blame others?"
The old woman's chest rose and fell violently, and she stared at Lu Jiangnian with a pleading look in her eyes: "Jiangnian, I beg you, Jianming him. After all, he has the blood of our Lu family."
Zhou Jianming suddenly shouted, "It's none of my business, grandma. That woman wanted to die on her own. It's none of my business at all."
Lu Yuxiu's eyes lit up: "That's right, my son is innocent, you have no evidence."
Lu Jiangnian's expression was solemn and cold. "Grandma, there are witnesses to this matter. There is no way to deny it."
"If you have any doubts, just listen to what Liang Yuhua's maid said."
Soon, Yunxiu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, was brought in. She knelt down and pointed at Zhou Jianming, her voice filled with deep fear and hatred.
"It's him! My cousin! He...he came into the yard drunk. I tried to stop him but was caught by his followers."
"He...he rushed into the room, saying...speaking foul language! I heard it clearly from outside! Auntie kept crying and shouting 'let me go', 'please let me go'"
"... Later... Later, I heard my aunt screaming, 'You're forcing me to death! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!'"
"...Then...then the young master rushed out and shouted, 'Someone's dead!'...I rushed in...My aunt...My aunt had already fallen to the ground...She was...she was dead..."
Yunxiu finished speaking incoherently, and she was already sobbing.
Yuan Wanru asked someone to take her away.
"You beast! You are a beast without any human ethics!"
Wang Min's chest heaved with anger. She hated these beasts who forced women the most.
"She's talking nonsense! That bitch! She's slandering me!"
Zhou Jianming struggled and screamed unwillingly: "I didn't kill her, she committed suicide."
"Grandmother! They have teamed up to frame me!"
Yuan Wanru suddenly spoke, her voice so gentle that it sounded like she was just chatting, "Madam, do you think that Miss Liang is just being upset, or is it..."
She glanced at Zhou Jianming, "Being forced into a corner by some beasts?"
"I hope you can make a fair, sober and reasonable judgment."
Madam Lu's cloudy eyes rolled around, and she suddenly straightened her hunched back: "Hmph!"
"Don't you have any idea of what kind of life Liang lived after entering the Lu family?"
She pointed her finger at Yuan Wanru, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being jealous and monopolizing Jiang Nian! It's you and your wife who made her unable to live!"
