Chapter 300 She won't die, but she'll suffer a fate worse than death.
Some suspects, who were not involved, had already put their hands into the bowls, washed them clean, and showed no sign of guilt.
But four people stood rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.
It was Fu Lanzhi and her young boyfriend, along with two trembling maids.
All eyes were on these four people, and everyone's guesses were already obvious.
"Wash it! Wash it quickly!"
Some people in the crowd started urging them on, and their voices grew louder and louder.
A maid, her face covered in sweat, timidly reached for the bowl. Before her hand even touched the rim, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly.
This startled everyone.
Bai Yu and Fu Beichen walked over.
Those who had just washed their hands were cleared of suspicion, and Bai Yu nodded to them.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Please return to your seats."
Fu Beichen's gaze was fixed on Fu Lanzhi, and he spoke each word with harshness and intensity.
"If you don't wash it, I'll have someone chop off your hand."
Fu Lanzhi was so frightened that she trembled and then screamed.
"Brother Beichen, you actually doubt me?"
"I'm your cousin! How could I possibly harm Yu Yu!"
She took a deep breath, stiffened her neck, and struck a pose of unyielding defiance.
"I won't do such a ridiculous test. I haven't done it, and that's that."
Fu Beichen didn't even bother to lift his eyelids; he had no time to argue with her.
"Someone come here."
He coldly uttered two words.
"Help her wash."
Three tall bodyguards immediately stepped forward, grabbed their hands expressionlessly, and were about to push them into the bowl.
"Ah! What are you trying to do!"
Fu Lanzhi struggled violently, refusing to put it in no matter what, her makeup ruined by tears.
"Let me go! Let me go now!"
She turned her head toward Fu Cheng'an and shouted desperately.
"Dad, help! Help me!"
Fu Chengan could no longer stand there and quickly ran over, smiling obsequiously.
"Beichen, this must be a misunderstanding. We are all family. How could Zhizhi hurt Xiaoyuyu?"
Fu Shihong walked over, leaning on his cane, and slammed the cane heavily on the ground, then roared authoritatively.
"Then let her wash it!"
"Prove her innocence with her actions! If she really dies, then she deserves it!"
Fu Lanzhi was completely stunned, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.
"Grandpa? I am your own granddaughter, how can you say that? It wasn't me."
"Let's do it."
Fu Shihong shouted angrily and stopped looking at her.
The servant who was still standing suddenly collapsed to her knees and began to kowtow frantically to Fu Shihong.
"Ah! Master, please spare my life! I had no choice, it was all the Second Miss's orders! Please, Master, have mercy!"
The maid turned on her on the spot and accused Fu Lanzhi.
The crowd erupted in another uproar. No one had expected that the one who committed this heinous act was the child's own cousin. How vicious she must be!
Fu Lanzhi was furious and started cursing at the maid.
"What did you say! You piece of trash, how dare you drag me into this?"
At this moment, her boyfriend, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up, eager to clear himself of any involvement.
"It's none of my business, I didn't do anything."
"It was her! She took the powder and secretly put it in my pocket to bring it in!"
The man spilled everything out like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.
"She said that as long as I gave the things to that maid, I could cooperate with the richest man, Fu. I really didn't know she was going to harm the young master!"
The man was so frightened that he became incoherent and immediately knelt down.
"Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare. Please, let me go."
Now, it's a done deal.
The real culprit who harmed the young master was none other than the second young lady of the Fu family, Fu Lanzhi.
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed hard on Fu Lanzhi's face.
Fu Cheng'an was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted at her, pointing his finger at her nose.
"You wretched creature! What have you done?"
"Why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing to your grandfather?"
At this moment, the second aunt also ran out crying and rushed to the old man to beg for mercy.
"Dad, Zhizhi is still young. She may have just been playing around. Please forgive her this time."
Gu Xingnian walked over, her eyes filled with boundless hatred.
"She's a 23-year-old adult, and she physically harms a three-month-old baby. You call that just being playful?"
The crowd immediately erupted in uproar.
"That's right, how could they be so vicious as to harm even a child?"
"I never expected her to harm even her own nephew. What is she trying to do? Seize the family fortune?"
"That's outrageous! If someone like that were in our family, we would have to get rid of them!"
The discussions rose and fell, like countless needles pricking Fu Lanzhi's family.
The second aunt's face was ashen. She grabbed Fu Lanzhi's arm and roared.
"Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to your sister-in-law and brother!"
Fu Shihong spoke slowly, expressionless, each word sounding like a verdict.
“From today onwards, Fu Lanzhi is removed from the Fu family genealogy. She is no longer a descendant of the Fu family.”
“Reclaim all shares under Fu Cheng’an’s name, cancel his inheritance rights, and expel his entire family from Haicheng.”
Fu Beichen walked over, his eyes filled with hostility.
"Let her go? That's too easy on her."
"No one can hurt my son and then walk away unscathed."
He gave orders to his bodyguards.
"Men, break her legs."
"yes."
The bodyguard stepped forward in response, about to make a move, but Auntie Fu, as if possessed, spread her arms wide to block Fu Lanzhi.
"Bei Chen! Please forgive Zhizhi this time, she really knows she was wrong!"
Gu Xingnian stepped forward and shoved her second aunt, who was blocking her way, aside.
Then, with swift movements, she grabbed Fu Lanzhi's hands and, with an irresistible force, pressed them directly into the bowl.
"ah!"
Fu Lanzhi let out a shrill scream in fright.
Everyone gasped in shock and stared at her intently.
However, Fu Lanzhi did not die on the spot.
But then, his hands suddenly started to itch, an itch that felt like a million insects were gnawing at his bones.
"Ah! It itches so much! Help! Mom, help me!"
She frantically scratched with her fingernails, instantly breaking her skin and drawing blood, but the itch only intensified.
She continued to catch the blood, and the blood continued to flow, a truly horrifying sight.
"Oh! Zhizhi, how are you?"
Auntie cried and begged Gu Xingnian for mercy.
"Niannian, please, please let Zhizhi go."
Gu Xingnian looked coldly at the mother and daughter and uttered a few words.
"Don't worry, this bowl of water won't kill her, but it will make her wish she were dead."
Gu Xingnian had studied poisonous plants for so many years, but this was the first time she had used them, because someone had harmed her child.
She will never forgive.
"She doesn't even spare a baby; God will punish her."
No sooner had she finished speaking than, with a "boom," Fu Lanzhi's designer dress suddenly burst into flames, and eerie flames instantly engulfed her entire body.
"Ah! Help! Ah!"
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene again. How could it suddenly catch fire? Was it really a punishment from heaven?
No one dared to intervene or want to help.
Fu Lanzhi struggled frantically like a fireball, screaming as she rushed into the fountain in the yard.
When she was pulled out of the water, her clothes were burned to ashes, her hair was burned off, and her beautiful face was completely disfigured.
But she is still alive, and she deserves only to live in such agony...
In the end, the three people were taken away by bodyguards, and Fu Lanzhi was sent directly to the prison hospital. The 100-day celebration finally came to an end in chaos.
The butler saw off all the guests, leaving only the Bai and Sheng families in the vast Fu residence.
The red rash on Xiao Yuyu's body hadn't subsided yet, and some of his delicate skin had been rubbed raw by himself, so he started crying in discomfort again.
The doctor examined the child and said that because the child was too young, only non-irritating topical medications could be used.
Gu Xingnian felt heartbroken looking at her, and her eyes reddened again.
Qingning walked over, extended her hand to her, and asked softly.
Can I have a hug?
Gu Xingnian carefully handed the child to her.
Qingning held the child in her arms and gently rocked him. Strangely enough, the child gradually calmed down, his big, dark eyes wide open, no longer showing any discomfort or fussiness, and appearing very peaceful.
After a while, Qingning handed the child back to Gu Xingnian.
Fu Beichen walked over and took the child from Gu Xingnian's arms.
Gu Xingnian was about to apply some more medicine to the child when she lifted the swaddling clothes and was stunned.
All the frightening red marks on his body had disappeared, and even the areas where his skin had been damaged had become completely healed, smooth and delicate.
They exchanged a glance and roughly understood what had happened.
Gu Xingnian walked over, gently took "Jiang Cheng's" hand, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Thank you."
Qingning smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards. "Tomorrow, Brother Shen Yuan is taking me to Ningcheng. I won't be back to see you and the baby for a while."
Gu Xingnian nodded.
Sheng Weiwei suddenly said, "Young Master Huo, why don't you bring your cousin back to the Sheng family for dinner tonight? Our shrimp are fresh and big, and we even have someone to peel them for you."
Huo Shenyuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at this glutton, and was already drooling.
"Are you going or not?"
"Okay. Go." Qingning nodded emphatically several times.
"Then we'll head back now and visit again tonight." Huo Shenyuan led Qingning away.
Sheng Weiwei pulled Gu Xingnian aside, and the two whispered a few words before turning to look at Jiang Cheng's back.
"Dad, I'm going back to the company. I'll be home for dinner tonight."
"Remember to buy shrimp, a big plate of them," Sheng Weiwei said to her father as she walked over, then left.
As soon as they stepped out of the mansion, they saw Bai Yu.
He leaned against the black Maybach, waiting for her.
"I send you."
Sheng Weiwei said calmly, "No need, I'll call a car."
He reached out and grasped her wrist, saying calmly, "Let's talk."
"We have nothing to talk about." Sheng Weiwei's coldness chilled him to the bone.
Bai Yu gave her a deep look and said seriously, "Then let's wait for the Bai family's lawyer to come and talk. I will take Tuantuan and Yuanyuan with me."
Sheng Weiwei's heart skipped a beat...
