Chapter 390 Confrontation

Soon, the sound of maids bowing could be heard from the stairs.

Lu Mingke and Su Rou came in with great momentum.

"What are you doing?" Lu Mingke asked solemnly.

Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai turned their heads and looked at Lu Mingke and Su Rou with a surprised look.

"Enjoying the scenery, is my husband here to enjoy the scenery too?" Shen Qingrong said what she had thought of long ago.

After hearing this, Lu Mingke looked at Aunt Bai who was standing beside her. Aunt Bai clenched her hands and said, "I am here to enjoy the scenery too, and I happened to meet the young lady."

"My father is still ill, Aunt Bai is in a good mood." Lu Mingke said with a deeper meaning.

Aunt Bai looked embarrassed. Just as she was thinking about how to respond, Lu Mingke sneered and her tone suddenly became harsh: "We were enjoying the view at lunch time and happened to meet each other. Do you think I'm a fool?"

The sudden shout scared Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai so much that they trembled in fear.

Did he know something? Impossible, they were obviously doing it very secretly.

Shen Qingrong suppressed her panic and said with courage: "What do you mean by this, my husband?"

"You will understand." Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong fiercely, waved his hand and ordered: "Take them down and take them to the main courtyard."

Several maids stepped forward and arrested Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai.

"Let me go!" Shen Qingrong struggled in vain, and looked at Lu Mingke and said, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Lu Mingke snorted coldly and turned away.

Su Rou followed closely behind, knowing only half of the situation.

From Lu Mingke's reaction and what she had just said, Su Rou guessed that Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai were related to Lu He's acute illness.

The group came to the main courtyard, where Lu He and Madam Lu were still having dinner.

Knowing that Shen Qingrong and Aunt Bai were caught red-handed, Lu He and Madam Lu put down their chopsticks and went to the side hall to interrogate the two.

"Tell me, how did you murder your father?" Lu Mingke asked.

Shen Qingrong, who was forced to kneel on the ground, struggled and pretended to be confused: "What is my husband talking about? How could we murder our father?"

She was betting that even if Lu Mingke had doubts, she had no evidence.

Lu Mingke did have no evidence.

Looking at Shen Qingrong, who was not crying until she saw the coffin, Lu Mingke said coldly: "Okay, let's talk about another thing first." Lu Mingke

shouted in a deep voice, and the court doctor presented a teacup.

Lu Mingke took it, held it in front of Shen Qingrong and said: "This is the tea that Xingyuan gave me as a filial gift. Have you tasted it?"

Shen Qingrong's face suddenly changed when she heard it.

There was only a small half cup of tea in the cup, and the color was a little cloudy. It was leftover tea from the previous night.

The tea was presented by the court doctor, and Lu Mingke brought it to her to ask questions, obviously knowing that there was something wrong with the tea.

Shen Qingrong lowered her eyes, her mind turning quickly, thinking about how to make an excuse.

Lu Mingke shook the teacup and said, "Xingyuan said that you gave him this tea, and he drank a sip last night."

"He...how could he drink it."

In an instant, Shen Qingrong's face showed panic, she lost her composure, and couldn't speak clearly.

"Why can't he drink it?" Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong and asked.

Shen Qingrong clenched the corner of her clothes, not daring to look directly into Lu Mingke's eyes.

"Xingyuan is still young, and he won't be able to sleep if he drinks tea at night." Shen Qingrong racked her brains and forced a reason.

Lu Mingke laughed when he heard this, and said clearly, "Okay, then I'll let him drink it during the day, every day."

Shen Qingrong heard this and immediately retorted, "No, Xingyuan can't drink it."

How could he be so cruel! He knew that there was something wrong with the tea, but he still wanted Xingyuan to drink it! That was his only son. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Lu Mingke was too cruel.

"I can drink it, why can't he?" Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong.

"Because... because..." Shen Qingrong panicked and spoke incoherently, unable to think of a suitable reason for a while.

Lu Mingke suddenly stood up, smashed the teacup in front of Shen Qingrong and said, "Because there is a drug that can make a man infertile!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

"What did you say?" The sick Lu He started to cough urgently, and the court doctor hurried to persuade him.

Mrs. Lu was stunned and forgot to react for a moment.

Lu Mingke only told them last night that she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, and did not mention anything else.

"Pa!" Su Rou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and rushed over, angrily slapping Shen Qingrong.

No wonder Lu Mingke looked solemn when he came back last night, so this is the case.

Shen Qingrong was stunned by the beating, and after she came to her senses, she glared at Su Rou and said, "Bitch, what right do you have to hit me!"

She is the elder, she is the younger, and she dared to hit her!

Shen Qingrong was extremely angry, and she tried her best to break free from the old woman's grip and slap back the slap.

However, the two women holding her down were strong and powerful, and the frail Shen Qingrong could not get away at all.

"Pa!" Another slap. After Su Rou's slap, her chest rose and fell violently. She said angrily: "You poisoned us mother and daughter, but my husband treated Xingyuan so well and tolerated you again and again. How could you be so vicious!"

"I am vicious?" Shen Qingrong looked at Su Rou, her eyes were red with anger, and she said: "What qualifications do you have to teach me? If it weren't for you, how could Xingyuan and I be forced into such a situation?"

"Not only does he hate us mother and son and favors you, he also puts me under house arrest. He is so cruel and heartless that he doesn't care about the relationship between husband and wife at all."

Shen Qingrong snorted coldly, then looked at Lu He and his wife and said fiercely: "And you, you say that your family tradition is upright and you respect etiquette, but you still allow your son to marry a concubine and kill his wife... I just said something wrong, but you beat me up and taught me a lesson, and even wanted to kill me."

Shen Qingrong sneered and said resentfully: "If I don't fight back and want to protect myself, am I waiting for you to step on my corpse and laugh happily!"

"You say I'm vicious, but what good are you? Look at your eyes, each of you wants to skin me alive, how vicious..."

At this point, Shen Qingrong knew that she could no longer hide what she had done, and there was no possibility of turning things around, so she simply threw in the towel and shouted out all the resentment and hatred in her heart to vent her anger.

Before doing this, she thought it through. If it succeeds, Lu He will die, Lu Mingke will inherit the title of marquis, and will not be able to have any children. Lu Xingyuan is his only son, and Lu Mingke has no choice but to value Lu Xingyuan.

And she, of course, can also rely on her son's status as a mother, firmly sit in the position of marquis's wife, and it all depends on how she treats Su Rou and her daughter.

If she fails, it will be a dead end. Anyway, the Lu family wanted her life anyway, it can't be worse.

Therefore, Shen Qingrong decided to give it a try while she still had some freedom and the ability to fight back.

These few days are really a good opportunity. The Lu family's mind is on Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, and no one pays attention to her. Facts have proved that she did succeed, but God is blind and did not help her.

Almost, just a little bit, she succeeded.

After a roar and scolding of all the Lu family members, Shen Qingrong felt extremely happy. She fell to the ground with a look of despair in her eyes and a crazy mockery on her face.

"Poisonous woman!" Lu Mingke gritted her teeth and said, "Have you ever thought that doing this will harm Xingyuan!"

Shen Qingrong heard it, met Lu Mingke's eyes, and said fearlessly, "It's not me who hurt him, it's you!"

She repeatedly told Lu Xingyuan that the tea could not be drunk. It was Lu Mingke who fed Lu Xingyuan.

Fortunately, Lu Xingyuan only drank a sip and it had no effect.

But after this incident, Lu Xingyuan was probably completely hated and had no hope of becoming a marquis.

She only regretted that she realized it too late and took action too late, and failed to make Lu Mingke childless.
