Chapter 689: Conspiracy to take Zhong Yi's life
The sound of exclamation gradually sounded!
Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's hand and walked slowly inside in high heels.
Tonight, they are the protagonists.
In the imperial capital, I became the protagonist.
"What a perfect match!"
"They are a perfect match."
"The Huo family should have a place in the imperial capital."
"It's not just a place, it's also possible to want a place in an aristocratic family!"
"That Madam Huo is so stunningly beautiful. I also saw her in Haicheng before. She didn't have this kind of aura and looks. How come some people become more beautiful as they grow older?"
"Of course there are people who are good at growing flowers." The man stuck out his lips towards Huo Xingzhou and said with an ambiguous smile.
Zhong Lingxiao held a glass of wine and watched Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi walk past him, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He turned his head to glance at Lu Yingxue, who was standing not far from him, and said, "With such a beauty, it's no wonder that someone in my family is thinking about her. Future sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
Lu Yingxue's face turned ashen.
"I don't understand what the young master is talking about."
Zhong Lingxiao took a few steps closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm saying, Zhong Yi has someone in her heart. That person always outshines you. Even if you marry Zhong Yi, he won't scheme for your Lu family. Do you understand?"
Lu Yingxue's fingers were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"Future sister-in-law, it's not enough for a woman to have a career. She also needs to be beautiful and have the ability to seduce a husband. But how can you be better than this Mrs. Huo?"
Not a single one.
Lu Yingxue bit her lips hard until her mouth tasted bloody.
She spoke in a hoarse voice: "What advice do you have, young master?"
"The end of the year is approaching, and Zhong Yi and I are at war until death. Instead of guarding a man who will never belong to you, you might as well cooperate with me. When I take over the Zhong family, your Lu family will also benefit."
"What's the benefit?"
"Don't you, the Lu family, want to be among the four great families? Let's make a deal. You and I will work together, and I will give you the position of a noble family."
Lu Yingxue listened to Zhong Lingxiao's proposal and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
She did so much just to help the Lu family move to a higher level.
Replace all the top giants step by step and take the top position in the capital.
Zhong Yi is unreliable and will even help Qiao Xi deal with their Lu family.
Lu Yingxue had long regretted this marriage, and now Zhong Lingxiao was offering an olive branch...
"Lu Yingxue, you have no choice. The Huo family is eyeing you covetously. Look at the people who are here today."
Lu Yingxue felt dizzy as she looked at the people in the banquet hall, chatting and fawning over Qiao Xi and his wife. There was also the support of the Xie and Guan families, and Zhong Yi was secretly plotting something behind the scenes.
She really had no choice.
For Qiao Xi, Zhong Yi can give up the interests of the Zhong family.
Her voice was a little hoarse: "How did you know about her and Zhong Yi?"
"What you know, I naturally know too. Zhong Yi and I have been fighting for so many years, how could he possibly hide anything from me? From the engagement party to the large number of people he sent, these details, he thought he could hide them from me!"
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
"Lu Yingxue, someone who doesn't have you in their heart won't make plans for your family. Your Lu family has been on the wrong side from the beginning."
Zhong Lingxiao elaborated on his advantages: "I already have my own children, and I have the support of my mother's family. Zhong Yi is a bastard. Would the old master really let his eldest legitimate son become a whetstone for a bastard? The old master values profit above all else, but Zhong Yi has abandoned his family for a woman. Who would trust him with the family?"
"He has no chance of winning."
Lu Yingxue was conflicted.
The last time I heard Zhong Yi's words, it seemed that he had a way to obtain the position of heir.
But what Zhong Lingxiao said does make sense.
Their Lu family originally planned to support Zhong Yi to take the position, and then after the child was born, they would use chronic poison or create an accident to let Zhong Yi die quietly.
The Zhong family was taken over by the Lu family bloodline.
Reach the sky in one step!
But now it seems that it is not feasible, Zhong Yi will not have children with her.
It is not certain whether he can hold on with her until the day of their marriage.
"Don't you have any idea why he didn't come with you tonight?" Zhong Lingxiao's last sentence was fatal, hitting Lu Yingxue's heart heavily.
It made her blood run cold.
Zhong Yi had caused her a lot of embarrassment.
He also secretly took care of Qiao Xi, sacrificing the interests of the Lu and Zhong families!
Not a good match!
Lu Yingxue's palms were cold as she said, "Are you sure you can take charge of the Zhong family?"
"I'm 70% sure Zhong Yi is alive. If he dies, I'm 100% sure. To be absolutely sure, Zhong Yi has no choice but to die. I know where he's going tonight, and I've paved the way for you. It's up to you how you go."
"What road?"
Zhong Lingxiao was also raised by the old man when he was young.
His mind is also extraordinary. If it weren't for Zhong Yizhuyu, the future of the Zhong family would belong to this young master Zhong.
This is what people in the imperial capital thought in the decades before Zhong Yi returned to the Zhong family.
Zhong Lingxiao's eyes shone with a cold light: "He went to the Thirteen Bay Wharf to discuss business tonight, hoping to get involved in the Pei family's overseas business. It's simply a foolish dream. He doesn't know that the Pei family has long..."
Zhong Lingxiao smiled silently.
"Future sister-in-law, it's not certain whether he will be able to return home tonight! Besides, I have ambushed people at every intersection and have also contacted the hospital. If he is lucky enough to return home, he will have to rely on your Lu family's slow-acting poison. You don't have much time to hesitate."
All those stupid things he did before were half-hearted tricks.
He had to make Zhong Yi think that he was brave but not wise, lower his guard again and again, and then find the opportunity to strike him with one strike!
"you……"
Lu Yingxue stared at him in a daze.
She suspected that Zhong Lingxiao and the Pei family had been colluding for a long time, and this business might be a trap they set for Zhong Yi.
if……
If Zhong Yi died at Shisanwan Wharf, the truth could be covered up with the abilities of the Pei family and Zhong Lingxiao.
It’s so easy to create an accident!
But at that time, even if she surrendered to Zhong Lingxiao, it would be icing on the cake and would be of no use.
Zhong Lingxiao played with his phone and smiled coldly, "Do you know those mercenaries from abroad? They'll do anything for you if you pay them, risking their lives to do it for you, and they won't leave any traces."
Lu Yingxue was terrified.
She knew that once Zhong Lingxiao's phone rang, she would have no chance to weigh the pros and cons.
Her mouth was dry and her throat felt like it was glued shut.
"I need to ask my father, he..."
"Aren't you still breastfeeding? Do you even need to ask him about such a trivial matter?"
Lu Yingxue's face turned a little ugly after being confronted by him, but when she thought about it, she realized that her father had already had opinions about Zhong Yi, and she had no choice.
Now Zhong Lingxiao took the initiative to find her...
Lu Yingxue took a deep breath: "I promise you."
Zhong Lingxiao heard her answer and smiled meaningfully: "Very good. If I hadn't married Zhao Shuyuan, the Lu family might have become my in-laws. After all, Miss Lu is a beauty..."
Lu Yingxue's cheeks turned red and white.
In the past, she could be considered beautiful.
But now I have a scar on my face, and I have nothing to do with these four words.
Her chest was heaving with anger. She raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Xi, who was as bright as spring sunshine on the high platform, and felt even more depressed.
