Chapter 684 Accidental Death
Lu Mansion Hall
Lu Desheng and Jiang sat at the top, Lu Zhiyuan stood beside them, and Tian Qinglai and his wife sat in the guest seats.
Tian knelt and sat at the bottom.
Mr. and Mrs. Tian Yuan were invited to the side hall.
Tian's current status was, after all, the eldest young mistress of the Lu family. Even though Tian Wan and his wife were her brother and sister-in-law, they weren't qualified to participate in Tian's interrogation. Even just watching was out of the question; who knew what secrets might be involved.
Lu Zhiyuan wiped his face and asked the question on everyone's mind, "Tell me, why do you want to harm my little sister? What good will it do you if my little sister gets into trouble?"
Lu Zhiyuan still finds it unbelievable. How could she be so bold?
Tian was trembling all over, shaking her head constantly, and tears were almost coming out.
Lu Desheng snorted coldly, "Isn't she doing this for you?"
Then, Lu Desheng looked at him and said quietly, "Now that your little sister is dead, the governor's position will be yours."
When Lu Zhiyuan heard this, he exploded, "I don't have such lofty ambitions!"
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Tian and asked angrily, "It's already this time, and you still don't tell the truth?"
Tian's tears flowed.
Bang! Lu Desheng slammed his hand on the table. "Speak up! Don't play dumb, and don't think you can get away with it this time if you don't confess anything! If you had the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it?"
"Yes, I did have that thought before," Tian admitted, but she quickly added, "But! I changed my mind later! And I informed them to terminate the plan. I don't know why they still carried it out."
Tian's face was full of pain.
Lu Desheng snorted coldly, "You idiot, you're being taken advantage of."
"Why did you do that?"
Lu Zhiyuan also wanted to know why she was so stubborn. He had clearly explained the pros and cons to her before...
Tian murmured, "I don't want to kill my little sister." She didn't have the courage to do so. "I just - I just want to get rid of my little sister's child."
Upon hearing this, Jiang was furious. "Tian, do you know how difficult it was for her to be pregnant with this child?!"
"Also, you said to abort the baby so as not to hurt Ali. But can you control the risks? No, you can't." Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell for a woman, and there are other risks added on top of that. Isn't this going to cost her her life?
"What does it have to do with you whether she has children or not?!" Lu Zhiyuan felt incredible again.
"Do you hate me? Why? What have I done to let you down?" Lu Zhiyuan guessed.
Tian just shook her head.
Lü Desheng, standing by, understood exactly what she was doing. She did it for Lü Xiao. If a woman was willing to take such a risk, not for personal grudges or for her husband, it must be for her children.
"She should be doing this for Lu—" Old Mrs. Tian at the side couldn't help but speak.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Desheng, "Shut up!"
Old Mrs. Tian was stunned, then stood there at a loss.
Although she didn't finish her sentence, the people present understood it after a moment's thought. It turned out that Tian did all this for her son Lu Xiao.
"You killed my little sister for your son?"
Hearing his eldest son's cry, Lu Desheng gritted his teeth. He had just tried to stop him because he didn't want to involve his eldest grandson! Lu Zhiyuan, what a fool!
Tian said nothing, tears streaming down her face.
This is equivalent to default.
She did this for her son. She knew that her husband was not as good as her sister-in-law, but her son Lu Xiao was also an outstanding person among the younger generation.
In this generation, the capable ones get the upper hand. My aunt is more capable than her husband, so she became the governor of Pingzhou.
In the next generation, if her son is the best among all the younger generations, is it possible for him to inherit the Pingzhou foundation?
When Lu Zhiyuan heard this answer, he could no longer bear it and slapped Tian. "You have to bear the consequences of your evil deeds. Don't say it's for me or for our son. You did it for your own selfish desires!"
He wouldn't accept such an answer! They, father and son, couldn't afford your kindness!
Tian, this idiot, had no idea that if her son Lu Xiao knew about her answer, what serious consequences would result! If her sister Lu Songli knew about it, it would...
Wait, Lu Zhiyuan finally realized what a stupid thing he had done!
Pah! He slapped himself in the face, then looked at his father and asked for help, "Dad?"
Since his foolish son had exposed everything, Lu Desheng spoke directly. He looked at Tian and said, "You did this because you think that Pingzhou's foundation belongs to our Lu family, and I can influence the governor's dethronement, right?"
Tian, the eldest daughter-in-law, has not yet fully understood the ability of Governor Ali. In other words, she has been unwilling to admit that the establishment and development of Pingzhou was due to the leadership of Governor Ali.
"Okay, even if your assumption is valid."
"Since you think Lü Xiao is so talented, so talented that he can inherit Pingzhou's legacy in the future, then why did you do anything to Ah Li's belly? You could have waited for Ah Li to give birth to the child, and then see who is more talented between him and Lü Xiao after the child grows up."
"If I could decide the next governor, I would definitely choose the better one. There's no need for you to do anything."
"What, you have nothing to say? The bottom line is, you used such despicable means to eliminate Lu Xiao's opponent. It's simply because you don't have the confidence to let Lu Xiao and A Li's child compete fairly under the same rules."
"I can only say that you've shown weakness to the enemy. By doing this, you're not only bringing shame upon yourself and your husband, but your son will also be looked down upon."
Lu Desheng's words revealed the darkness in Tian's heart, leaving her speechless.
"Finally, if your hypothesis is not true, then there is no need for you to take action."
After Lu Desheng said this, everyone present realized a fact: Tian had done something stupid!
Old Mrs. Tian stepped forward and patted her daughter, who was in a daze. "How could you have such thoughts? Tell me, have you been bewitched or deceived by someone?"
Mrs. Tian's words made Mrs. Tian hesitate.
"If you know anything, you can tell me. However, for the mistake you made this time, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment even if you're still alive." Lu Desheng took the responsibility and was determined to give a satisfactory explanation, even if it was for his eldest grandson...
Tian Qinglai said, "This—my dear, she was indeed wrong in this matter. We accept the punishment. What is the punishment? You decide."
"Ms. Tian, you died unexpectedly." Lu Desheng announced his decision.
"Also, your existence will be erased from the family tree." Lu Desheng wanted to completely erase the existence of the Tian family and completely cut off the Tian family's way back.
Tian was struck by lightning.
Tian Qinglai and his wife hesitated. This punishment was too severe, but they didn't dare to speak. After their daughter committed such a crime, it was a blessing that she didn't bring trouble to her family.
"Do you have any objections to this decision?" Lu Desheng asked Lu Zhiyuan, "If so, the Lu family can arrange for both of you to die unexpectedly!"
Lu Zhiyuan quickly shook his head. He had no objection, nor did he dare to have one. Didn't you hear? His father wasn't even planning on giving up on him, the eldest son.
Tian Qinglai sighed in his heart. It doesn’t matter. If his daughter can’t keep the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, then so be it. They still have grandchildren.
Lu Desheng said, "Ms. Tian, to be honest, you have brought this upon yourself. For the sake of our two children, the Lu family will give you a sum of money to ensure that you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life." This is the Lu family's promise. As for wealth and glory, forget it.
Jiang sighed and said, "If you really have a loving mother's heart, then accept the punishment obediently and stop dragging down Lu Xiao and Lu Dan."
At this time, Tian suddenly realized that the Lu family had tolerated her for so long, and finally could no longer tolerate her and wanted to get rid of her.
"Mom and Dad, that's it. I'm willing to die unexpectedly."
"Today's conversation--" Lu Desheng looked at Tian Qinglai and his wife.
Tian Qinglai shuddered and quickly assured, "Don't worry, my dear in-laws, no third person will know about it." Even for the sake of their eldest grandson, he and his wife would keep it a secret.
Afterwards, Lu Desheng asked Chen Zongguan to send a few of his trusted aides to arrange an accident...
