Chapter 203 is not
“Actually, the Cheng family didn’t want Yuan Jing dead,” Cheng Lusheng quickly said.
That's not a lie.
For the Cheng family, Yuan Jing, who came from an ordinary family, was not a threat at all.
The only threat to the Cheng family was the seven-month-old baby boy.
Yuan Jing has no background. As long as she doesn't have a son, she poses no threat to the Cheng family or the inheritance rights of Fu Yushu and his brother. However, if Yuan Jing dies, Fu Hongyuan can marry another rich heiress. In any case, Fu Hongyuan is not the type to remain faithful to his wife after her death. He was willing to give up Yuan Jing for the sake of the family's interests and marry Cheng Lin. He might very well marry someone else after Yuan Jing dies.
At that time, the Cheng family's life will truly become difficult.
"The Cheng family is quite sensible. From beginning to end, they just didn't want the child to be born safely. Moreover, Yuan Jing didn't actually have to die. When she was sent to the hospital, she originally had a chance to live."
As he said this, Cheng Lusheng glanced at Fu Hongyuan.
Despite the warning look from above, seeing Fu Hongyuan pinned to the sofa, unable to move, and even his mouth gagged in a pathetic state, Cheng Lusheng seemed to find courage and strength again, and recklessly spoke the rest of his words.
"Between the child and the mother, only one could be saved. Yuan Jing insisted on saving the child, even willing to die herself rather than let the child lose their life. But Fu Hongyuan wanted to save the mother, and after giving in to Yuan Jing's wishes, he went along with her. In the end, both the child and the mother were saved, which should have been a happy ending. But Fu Hongyuan actually strangled the child to death right in front of Yuan Jing..."
Thinking back to that scene, Cheng Lusheng couldn't help but shudder. He had always thought that Yuan Jing was special to Fu Hongyuan, but who would have thought that Fu Hongyuan would do such a thing right after agreeing to it?
The death of her child directly triggered a surge of blood and qi in Yuan Jing, who was already weak after childbirth. Coupled with severe bleeding, she lost the half-life she had managed to save.
Later, Cheng Lusheng figured it out.
Perhaps the moment Fu Hongyuan agreed to save the child, Yuan Jing, the wife who had embarrassed him, and the child who should not have been born, had already died in his heart.
At this point, Cheng Lusheng, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly asked Fu Yushu.
"You reached out to Yuan Jing back then to stop her, didn't you?"
Fu Yushu looked at Cheng Lusheng.
Who told you that?
The fact that he didn't deny it, but instead asked about the source, is enough to prove that what Cheng Lusheng said was the truth.
Fu Yuhua's heart was in her throat.
So, it really wasn't him...
But why didn't he explain?
Not only that, they also need to find a way to send her abroad, far away from Nancheng...
keep away……
If it's not because of disgust or rejection, then it can only be...
Protect.
Fu Yuhua's breath hitched.
No, that doesn't make sense.
"I don't need anyone to tell me; I can guess it with a little thought." Cheng Lusheng was quite smug, his expression suggesting he had forgotten his current predicament, showing a carefree attitude.
“Yuan Jing is a good person. Even though she has no blood relation to you and Yuqi, she still treats you and Fu Yuhua the same way. You all live in the Fu family. With your abilities, Yushu, if you really cared about the child in her belly, you have plenty of ways to prevent her from giving birth. Fu Hongyuan would hint to the Cheng family to take action, which means he doesn't care that much about that child. Moreover, he may have even expressed this intention to you. Since it wasn't him who stopped you, and you didn't take any action in the past few months, there's only one possibility: you never even considered it.”
"And with your methods, pushing someone down the stairs is just too low. Of course, it's also because I know that the Cheng family arranged for a nanny to add a special drug to Yuan Jing's milk before bed every day. This drug can cause mild hallucinations and dizziness, so whenever Yuan Jing goes upstairs, she's bound to fall eventually... There's just one thing I don't understand. You care so much about Fu Yuhua, but when she questioned you, why didn't you even offer a single word of explanation? Not only that, you insisted on sending her abroad..."
Cheng Lusheng talked on and on, rambling on and on for ages. He was clearly talking about Yuan Jing, but then suddenly he brought up Fu Yuhua.
"But that makes sense. She was an abandoned baby. The Fu family adopted her out of respect for Yuan Jing and to protect Yuan Jing's feelings so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the pain of losing her daughter when she found out the truth. With Yuan Jing dead, Fu Yuhua was naturally useless, so it was better to send her abroad. In a way, she actually got the better deal."
“You shouldn’t have sent her abroad to study back then. Now that she’s back, I hear she’s been trying every trick in the book to cause trouble for the Fu family. If you ask me, the Fu family should have publicly revealed Fu Yuhua’s background back then, so that she could completely sever ties with the Fu family. Only in that way would she have no chance to continue trying to extort money, and whether the Fu family is doing well or badly would have nothing to do with her.”
Cheng Lusheng thought he was extremely clever.
Originally curled up and kneeling on the ground, he had now decided to make the best of it and plopped down on the ground, "pointing out the country" like an old man at the village entrance. He even went so far as to seek attention from the bodyguard next to him, saying, "You agree, right?"
The bodyguard stood still, not looking at him, but rolled his eyes, clearly not wanting to pay any attention to Cheng Lusheng.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yushu spoke up.
"There is some truth to that."
“Right, right, I just…” Upon receiving a response, Cheng Lusheng nodded excitedly, but soon he realized that the person speaking seemed to be Fu Yushu.
“Uh…” Cheng Lusheng immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head, and silently prayed that I couldn’t see him.
"Fu Yuhua should be expelled from the Fu family."
Fu Yushu seemed to be seriously considering this issue.
Cheng Lusheng: "...?"
Fu Yushu seemed to be deep in thought, and Cheng Lusheng dared not say anything more, for fear of slipping up and saying the wrong thing.
For a moment, only the sound of breathing could be heard in the room.
A few minutes later, Fu Yushu seemed to have thought of something. He raised his hand, pointed at Fu Hongyuan, and then at Cheng Lusheng, and said, "Throw both of them into the basement. They are not to be released without my permission."
Fu Hongyuan immediately struggled, his eyes wide open, not expecting that Fu Yushu would actually dare to imprison him; Cheng Lusheng wanted to fight for himself, but the bodyguard quickly stuffed a rag into his mouth, the stench of which almost made Cheng Lusheng faint.
"And him too, take him with you." Fu Yushu pointed at Zhu Bo, "We can't let any fish slip through the net."
Moreover, he has been laying bait in Nancheng for so many years, and now that the time is ripe, it's time to reap the rewards.
The bodyguard eventually took all three of them to the basement.
At this moment, Fu Yushu said to Diao Huai, "Go and bring Fu Yuqi in."
With one ear gone and half of her head still wrapped in wounds, Fu Yuqi looked haggard and disheveled, a far cry from her previous spirited self.
Now that she's been brought in and pushed in front of Fu Yushu, Fu Yuqi's gaze towards Fu Yushu seems to be capable of devouring a person.
