Chapter 388 Vicious

The maid heard the call and went into the house, avoiding Su Rou's obstructive eyes and telling the truth.

At the end, she said: "The young lady finally recovered after giving birth, and now she is suffering this for no reason..."

"Shut up and get out." Su Rou shouted.

The maid was startled and hurriedly retreated.

The room was silent, but Lu Mingke's heart was like a surging tide. She looked at Su Rou with a sad look and said: "I have wronged you again."

Su Rou shook her head: "I'm fine, I'll be fine tomorrow after a night's sleep."

Lu Mingke was so guilty and distressed that he couldn't speak, and wanted to go and talk to Madam Lu.

Su Rou stopped him and said, "It is the mother-in-law's duty to teach her daughter-in-law. The matter has already passed. If you bother your mother again, it will only damage the relationship between mother and son and make her dislike me even more. My sin will be in vain."

After hearing this, Lu Mingke felt heavy-hearted and frowned.

Su Rou comforted him in return, saying, "It was just kneeling for a short while. It won't affect your body."

"As long as you treat me well, I won't feel wronged."

Su Rou said, raising her hand and gently stroking Lu Mingke's brow.

It doesn't matter whether this "justice" is sought or not. What matters is that Lu Mingke knows what is going on.

Seeing this, Lu Sui'an also imitated Su Rou, rubbing Lu Mingke's face with her soft little hands, and muttering something.

"Dad... Dad."

Su Rou was slightly surprised: "Sui'an can call Daddy now."

In the past two months, she and Lu Mingke often taught Lu Sui'an to call Daddy and Mom. Lu Sui'an only learned to call out single words recently, and today was the first time he called out a complete word. Although there was a pause in the middle and the pronunciation was not very clear, it did not affect their joy at the moment.

Especially Lu Mingke, whose gloomy heart became brighter because of the word "Dad", and finally a smile appeared on her face.

"Sui'an is so good, call daddy again." Lu Mingke gently rubbed Lu Sui'an's soft face, making Lu Sui'an giggle.

"Sui'an, it's not fair to only call daddy and not mom. Be good, call mom..." Su Rou also shook Lu Sui'an's little hand and teased him, with an expectant look on her face.

The night breeze blew into the house, blowing the candles gently, casting the shadows of the three people on the ground, filling the room with warmth.

After teasing Lu Sui'an for a while, Lu Mingke went to see Lu He and reported to him the progress of raising food, and finally went to sit in Lu Xingyuan's courtyard for a while.

Although he hated Shen Qingrong, Lu Xingyuan was innocent, and he was his first child, and the eldest son, so Lu Mingke loved him.

"Father, I have learned a few more sentences from the Three Character Classic. I will recite them to you." Lu Xingyuan said in a brisk tone, with a hint of expression.

Lu Mingke put down the teacup and said, "Okay, you recite it."

"If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object..." Lu Xingyuan stood in front of Lu Mingke, shaking his head and reciting very seriously.

However, when he recited the last two sentences, he suddenly got stuck, and he couldn't remember them after thinking for a long time with a bitter face.

"Be close to teachers and friends, and learn etiquette." Lu Mingke added slowly, touching his head and praising: "Xingyuan is already very good."

Lu Xingyuan's eyes sparkled when he heard it, staring at the snacks on the table and said: "Can I have another snack?"

Snacks are not allowed before bedtime or meals, but Lu Xingyuan is not even five years old, and there are always times when he can't help being greedy.

"Eat." Lu Mingke brought the snacks to Lu Xingyuan.

Lu Xingyuan picked up a piece and ate it happily.

Lu Mingke looked at him, ready to leave after he finished eating.

When there was only one bite left, Lu Xingyuan stuffed it directly into his mouth, eating a little too quickly and choking a little.

Seeing this, Lu Mingke picked up the tea he had just drunk and fed it to Lu Xingyuan.

Lu Xingyuan took a sip, swallowed the cake, pushed the teacup away and said, "I can't drink it."

Lu Mingke heard this, glanced at the tea in the cup and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xingyuan said word by word, "My mother said that I can't drink the tea that honors my father."

Tea that honors my father? He can't drink it? My mother said so?

Lu Mingke heard these words and was quick to notice something was wrong.

He looked at the teacup in his hand and asked calmly, "Is this tea given to Xingyuan by my mother?"

Lu Xingyuan frowned and said, "My mother said I can't tell my father."

In one sentence, Lu Mingke understood everything.

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Lu Mingke suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I won't tell mother. Then Xingyuan promised me not to tell mother either, okay?"

"Okay." Lu Xingyuan nodded.

If his father didn't say it, he wouldn't say it either, and then his mother wouldn't know that his father knew.

Lu Xingyuan thought this was the best.

"It's getting late, Xingyuan should wash up and go to bed." Lu Mingke called the maid and took Lu Xingyuan to wash up.

After Lu Xingyuan left with the maid, Lu Mingke hid the remaining half cup of tea in her sleeves, got up and left.

Lu Mingke did not go back to the courtyard to rest, but went to find the court doctor.

After the court doctor examined the tea and tea leaves, he frowned and looked very solemn.

"What's the problem?" Lu Mingke asked.

The court doctor said, "There is a drug for severance in this tea. It should be mixed in the tea leaves."

What?

A drug for severance!

Lu Mingke stood up suddenly and asked coldly, "Are you sure?"

The court doctor said solemnly, "I have been practicing medicine for decades and will never make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingke's heart instantly fell into an ice cave, and her whole body was cold. The veins on the back of her clenched fist bulged.

A severance, a severance... Shen Qingrong is so good!

She borrowed Lu Xingyuan's hand and asked him to severance in the name of filial piety!

Seeing that Lu Mingke's face was extremely ugly, the court doctor understood and asked carefully, "Where did you get this tea from, sir?"

Lu Mingke didn't say anything, but asked the court doctor what the properties of this drug for severance were? It may be a cure.

The court doctor took a breath and said solemnly, "This is a chronic poison. If you have only taken it for a few days, it will not have much effect. But if you have taken it for a month or two, it may be difficult to cure."

"The person who poisoned me was very skilled. The drug for impotence has no odor to begin with, and it was mixed in tea leaves. Once the smell of tea covered it up, even the most careful and cautious people would not be able to detect it."

Lu Mingke clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling. He was extremely angry and wanted to kill Shen Qingrong immediately.

He had never thought that Shen Qingrong could be so vicious.

They had been married for six years and slept in the same bed for four years, but it was not until today that he could see her face clearly.

Lu Mingke was filled with hatred and anger, his face twisted with anger, and it was very scary.

The court doctor stood aside in panic, not daring to speak.

After a while, Lu Mingke calmed down and told the court doctor not to reveal anything about tonight's events to anyone.

The court doctor nodded repeatedly and responded quietly. After Lu Mingke left, he lifted his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The night was as dark as water, and Lu Mingke walked quickly in the back garden, heading towards Shen Qingrong's yard in a rage.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingke turned around and went to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Lu had served Lu He and was about to go to bed.

Seeing Lu Mingke, the couple were both very surprised.

"Father, mother, I have something to tell you."

Lu He and his wife looked puzzled: "What is it?"

Lu Mingke said: "Father's illness is strange, I suspect it is not an accident, but man-made."

"What did you find out?" Lu He asked solemnly.

Lu Mingke pursed her lips and said, "Not yet, but I have a plan to lure the snake out of its hole."

After listening to Lu Mingke's words, Lu He was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Lu Mingke told Mrs. Lu to keep calm and not to make trouble.
