"Aunt?" Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised.
They didn't expect that the mastermind behind this was actually their aunt!
"She...she gave me some money and asked me to..." Before the second uncle's son finished speaking, his face suddenly changed drastically. He pointed behind Lu Qing and shouted in fear: "Be careful!"
Lu Qing turned around suddenly, and saw a black shadow waving a wooden stick, hitting Shen Qiqi's back of the head!
"Qiqi!" Lu Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and without thinking, he flew forward and blocked the attack with his body.
With a dull "bang", the wooden stick hit Lu Qing's back heavily.
Lu Qing groaned, his body swayed and he almost fell down.
Shen Qiqi quickly supported him and asked anxiously, "Lu Qing, how are you? Are you okay?"
Lu Qing endured the pain and shook his head, "I'm fine, be careful!"
Seeing that his attack missed, the black shadow turned around and tried to run away.
Lu Qing would never let him escape. He endured the severe pain in his back and kicked the black shadow to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi hurried forward and pinned the black shadow down.
"Tell me! Who sent you?"
The black shadow struggled, but couldn't break free.
He glared at Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "You...you just wait!"
"Humph! You're still stubborn even when you're about to die!" Shen Qiqi sneered and searched the black shadow for a letter.
When he opened it, he saw the letter saying, "You must get rid of Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi. After you succeed, you will be handsomely rewarded."
The letter was signed with an unfamiliar name, which neither Shen Qiqi nor Lu Qing recognized.
"It seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this!" Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
Shen Qiqi nodded, "We have to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible!"
The two returned to the Lu family and told Mrs. Lu and the clan leader what had happened.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was so angry that she trembled all over. "How can this be! How dare someone attack my grandson! I will make them pay the price!"
The clan leader was also very shocked. "This matter is of no small importance. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and give the Lu family an explanation!"
At the same time, my uncle and his wife hid in their room, listening to the noise outside, feeling uneasy.
The person who was tracking her failed and was caught by Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi, which made her very panicked.
"No, I have to find a way to get out of this!" The uncle's wife paced back and forth anxiously, thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of love and pride.
His eyes made Shen Qiqi's heart beat fast.
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
They snuggled together tightly, feeling each other's warmth, and a feeling of happiness flowed in their hearts.
"Qiqi..." Lu Qing gently called Shen Qiqi's name, his tone so gentle that water could drip out.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Lu Qing, her eyes gleaming with happiness. "Hmm?"
"We..." Lu Qing paused and took a deep breath, "Let's go..."
Lu Qing hugged Shen Qiqi and whispered in her ear: "Let's go and expose the true face of that old witch!" Shen Qiqi understood, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This feeling is exciting!
The two of them rushed straight to the uncle's wife's room like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths.
When I opened the door, I saw my uncle and his wife sitting upright with a fake smile on their faces. When they saw the two of them come in, their smile froze for a moment: "Hey, what's going on? It's so late and you're still not asleep?"
Shen Qiqi threw the found letter in front of her uncle and aunt, and the paper drew a sharp arc in the air. "Aunt, do you recognize this thing?"
The color drained from my uncle's wife's face instantly. Her eyes rolled around as she feigned ignorance: "What is this? I...I've never seen it before."
Lu Qing snorted coldly, folding his arms across his chest, like a judge, "Never seen it? Then who did it that the letter said 'get rid of Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi'? Aunt, please don't tell us that someone is impersonating you?"
The eldest uncle's wife's face turned pale, her eyes evasive, and she stammered, "I...I really don't know. Someone must have framed me. Please don't wrongly accuse me!"
At this time, Mrs. Lu and the clan leader also rushed over, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
Everyone saw how panicked the uncle and his wife were. They looked like a trapped beast forced into a corner, struggling in a truly miserable manner.
The clan leader frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Sister-in-law, this matter is of great importance. You'd better tell the truth and stop quibbling!"
"I...I really didn't do it!" The eldest uncle's wife was still resisting stubbornly, her eyes flickering with unwillingness, as if she was brewing some conspiracy. "Someone must be trying to frame me. I am absolutely innocent!"
Shen Qiqi sneered and walked up to her uncle's wife, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "Unjust? Haha, aunt, it's a waste of your talent if you don't act with your acting skills. Do you want me to give you a ride again?"
At this moment, my uncle's wife suddenly covered her chest and groaned in pain: "Ouch... I... my heart hurts..."
This old witch!
Shen Qiqi cursed inwardly, what era is this, and you still use this trick?
She turned to look at Lu Qing with a hint of doubt in her eyes, feeling that things were not that simple.
The reaction of my uncle and his wife was either fake or they had another trick up their sleeve.
Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, his eyes firm, as if to say: Don't be afraid, I'm here.
"Humph, everyone can act. My heart hurts too." Shen Qiqi covered her chest and began to cry.
The uncle and his wife were stunned. They didn't expect this girl to play by her own rules. They didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Lu Qing chuckled and looked at Shen Qiqi lovingly, "You are such a little drama queen."
"Lu Qing, do you think I acted like that?"
"It's like that. It's so realistic that I almost believe it."
"Yeah, I think I acted pretty well too."
The interaction between the two left everyone present speechless, but everyone could feel that this undercurrent of family war had just begun, and the uncle and his wife were probably going to cause trouble.
The eldest uncle's wife suddenly stopped moaning and her eyes became cold. "Don't be complacent, the best is yet to come!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, like a cunning fox.
"What do you mean?" Shen Qiqi just asked, and she felt a chill on her back. Before she could react, she heard Lu Qing exclaim - "Be careful!"
