Chapter 536 You Will Soon Be Madam Zhong
midnight.
The Lu family is located in the Qiu Shui villa area halfway up the mountain in the imperial capital.
In the dark corner of the garden.
Lu Yan sat in his wheelchair, making phone calls one after another, planning all the disgusting tricks. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Lu Yingxue approaching in the moonlight.
"Cousin."
He called out in a gentle tone.
"Why haven't you slept yet so late?" Lu Yingxue asked as she stood in front of him, holding her thin coat.
Lu Yan smiled cunningly and viciously, "Cousin, Qiao Xi is finished! I've confirmed with the doctor who came to see her, her fever has reached 40 degrees and won't go away. It looks like her situation is worrying. I didn't expect Li Songwen to stumble upon something unexpected. There were actually poisonous herbs in that pot of Chinese medicine decoction."
"The Huo family refused to go to the hospital and hired someone to treat them. They must have been afraid that the news would leak out. Thanks to me using that idiot Li Nianqi, I was able to find out the details. I intercepted the doctor halfway, and now there's news everywhere that Qiao Xi has a high fever and needs to withdraw from the competition."
Lu Yan finally got rid of his anger.
Lu Yingxue, however, was not so easily relieved: "Don't underestimate your opponent before the final step. If Qiao Xi wins in this situation, then no one can surpass her!"
Lu Yan scoffed: "She can win? I'll stand upside down and eat shit."
He knew about his cousin Lu Yingxue's talent and hard work, and many senior people in the imperial capital had praised her.
It is said that it is a great honor to accept her as my disciple!
"Cousin, you will definitely win gloriously! Let those who dare to challenge your position open their eyes and see how outstanding you really are! I can't wait to see Qiao Xi being punished. This will justify my broken right leg!"
He even sold his favorite heavy motorcycle!
Now I feel disgusted at the sight of it, as it reminds me of the humiliation of that night!
"Lu Yan, this time, not only Qiao Xi can't afford to lose, but I can't lose either." Lu Yingxue looked at him seriously, "If I lose, people will think I'm not as good as Qiao Xi. Some people will also question whether my father's medical skills are inferior to Cheng Han's... My father was able to reach his current position because Cheng Han retired."
She is also under a lot of pressure.
So I will use some tricks to make myself sure of winning.
"Cheng Han is not as good as uncle! Qiao Xi is even worse than you. Don't worry, cousin. Didn't you and Xiang Mingzhu already know the test questions for tomorrow? It will be a closed-book exam for others, but it will be an open-book exam for you."
A faint smile appeared on Lu Yingxue's lips.
really.
The third round of exam questions was asked by an old senior, but my father did nothing.
I just came back to give them a hint. After ten years of planning, I finally waited until this day.
It's time for her to retain the top spot!
"Cousin, after the ceremony, it will be your engagement party with Young Master Zhong. Although the Zhong family hasn't publicly announced that Young Master Zhong is the next heir, I think it's a done deal. Zhong Lingxiao is infertile, and he's not very popular with the old man."
Lu Yan felt a little happier when he thought that the Lu family was about to rise to prominence.
"Cousin, you will soon be Madam Zhong! By then, who in the entire capital can compare to you? Guan Jingtan from the Guan family isn't even worthy of carrying your shoes, so how can she be called one of the two beauties of the capital?"
Lu Yingxue obviously also liked his flattery.
Believe that you will have success in both love and career.
But he said, "Guan Jingtan is indeed beautiful."
Lu Yan sneered, "She only has beauty. She claims to have a strict upbringing, but in reality, she's old-fashioned and boring. She'd better protect her body. If she gets away with something, that person will take advantage of the opportunity to get the Guan family's wealth."
Who doesn’t want the fat piece of meat from the Guan family?
The smile on Lu Yingxue's lips faded. Zhong Yi had mentioned Guan Jingtan before.
Get engaged as soon as possible!
"cousin!"
Xiang Mingzhu's voice was heard from the villa.
"Cousin, where are you?"
When Lu Yan heard the voice, he said in disgust: "It's so late, what is she doing here?"
"It must be something. I'll go take a look. Cousin, you should get some rest early too. Perhaps my medical skills will improve in my lifetime and I can heal your leg."
Lu Yingxue said a few words to comfort her and then walked towards the villa.
The villas in Banshan Qiushui were all very luxurious, places that ordinary people would never be able to set foot in their lifetime. The Lu family and the Xiang family were also relatively close, so Xiang Mingzhu's sudden visits were common.
Lu Yingxue had no suspicions.
What's more, this is the eve of the needle trial conference, so it's normal.
"cousin!"
Xiang Mingzhu's face was bright and charming. She ran to Lu Yingxue and held her hand affectionately.
Lu Yingxue calmly withdrew her hand, sat on the sofa and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I can't sleep. When I think about the competition tomorrow. It will affect the situation of our two families in the imperial capital, and I can't sleep." Xiang Mingzhu followed her and sat on the sofa, looking at her sincerely, with red eyes.
"Cousin, my father was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital. The doctor said he had symptoms of a pre-stroke and if it happens again, he'll be dead. My eldest brother is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. He only follows my father's orders. My second brother was disgraced for streaking... Let alone my third brother, he's in prison and hasn't been released yet."
Xiang Mingzhu lowered her head and cried, "Our Xiang family has been harmed by Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi. I feel so much hatred in my heart!"
Lu Yingxue poured her a glass of water and said gently, "Uncle's health will get better. If Auntie can return home, you'll have someone to rely on."
"My mom? She won't care about us, because more than 20 years ago... Never mind, let's not talk about it."
Xiang Mingzhu wiped her tears and cried sadly and pitifully: "Cousin, I came here to tell you something. I know I was wrong about the second round. I should have eliminated Qiao Xi myself..."
"Cousin, I'll do whatever you need me to do in the third round! As long as Qiao Xi loses the game, I'm willing to do anything!"
Xiang Mingzhu looked at her firmly, her hands hanging at her sides and clenched into fists. She felt a little guilty, afraid that Lu Yingxue would not believe in her loyalty.
Lu Yingxue's posture was elegant, with a celestial aura that was untainted by the world. "I don't really need you to do anything. I'm confident I can win."
Lu Yingxue is capable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to beat so many older contestants and win the championship ten years ago!
Although there is still some water mixed in it, it should not be underestimated.
"My cousin is amazing. Unlike me, I have no talent. I relied on luck to make it to the end. When the time comes, I will use it to highlight my cousin's brilliance."
"Mingzhu..."
Lu Yingxue's eyes rippled, and her expression was inexplicable. "You've worked so hard this year, I thought you were going to compete with me for the top spot. But your acupuncture skills are still lacking. Reaching the third round won't be a disgrace to my father's reputation."
"Cousin, how could I possibly compete with you? I'm even waiting to attend your wedding with Master Zhong. Only when the Lu family is doing well will our Xiang family be doing well! By then, two of the four major families will belong to us... How glorious that would be! I, Xiang Mingzhu, would be able to walk freely in the imperial capital."
Xiang Mingzhu concealed his inner uneasiness and said nice things.
She and Lu Yingxue grew up together, and she had a better understanding of her temperament.
We have to let her down her guard again!
Then find an opportunity!
A dark gleam flashed in Xiang Mingzhu's eyes, and he looked up at Lu Yingxue in front of him and said flatteringly.
