Chapter 556: He Lied to Me
In the camera.
Lu Yingxue forced a smile, looking somewhat vulnerable. "Actually, I discovered I was allergic at the time. Mingzhu accidentally mixed up my skincare products before the competition, which caused the allergy. Plus, I learned from Mingzhu that she bribed Li Songwen to frame the Chinese medicine apprentice. I was so emotional that I lost my composure for a moment."
Lu Yingxue said softly, "Missing the Needle Trial Competition is a lifelong regret of mine. What I regret even more is not being able to compete with the disciples of the National Medical Doctor. I admire Qiao Xi's medical skills very much, but young people always have a fighting spirit... I always want to compete with her. But I also congratulate her on winning the first place in the Needle Trial Competition."
The host complimented, "Miss Lu's medical skills are exceptional. If we were to have an open competition, I'm sure the outcome would be undecided. You have always been the pride of the imperial capital."
Lu Yingxue smiled implicitly.
"What do you think about your cousin Xiang Mingzhu?"
Lu Yingxue said calmly, "Publicly, I believe that no profession should engage in fraud. Since she violated the law, she must be punished. Otherwise, she will set a bad example. Personally, I want to apologize to the traditional Chinese medicine apprentice for her actions."
"Ms. Lu, we all know that the allergy is not an accident."
Lu Yingxue's eyes were slightly red, and she forced a smile, which made people feel distressed.
"As her cousin, I'd rather believe Mingzhu didn't mean it. It's also my fault for not being careful enough to notice the allergens in the skincare products and missing out on this great event."
Her willow-shaped eyes were filled with tears, but she never cried.
The hosts were all impressed by her character and magnanimity, and their eyes were full of admiration.
"Miss Lu is truly kind. It's because of this pure heart that you've brought good news to so many sick families in the imperial capital, freeing them from suffering. You truly are a good Chinese medicine practitioner, worthy of the title of female Hua Tuo."
Lu Yingxue's lips trembled slightly, as if she was moved. "You speak so highly of me. I'm just an ordinary person, doing what I love. I'm very happy to be able to help everyone."
After this interview.
All the online dissatisfaction with Lu Yingxue's loss of the game turned into disgust towards Xiang Mingzhu.
"It's all that disgusting Xiang Mingzhu. Not only did she hurt Qiao Xi, she also hurt Lu Yingxue! But I still feel that although Qiao Xi is powerful, she can't beat Lu Yingxue. She just got lucky."
"I don't know if I'll ever see you two competing on the same stage again in my lifetime!"
"Of course there are opportunities. The Chinese Medicine Association holds assessments every year. Lu Yingxue is a member of the association, and Qiao Xi became the vice president because he won the first place. In addition to the association's internal considerations, there are other Chinese medicine events!"
"I feel so sorry for Lu Yingxue. She looks like she's about to break! Her eyes are red and she's about to cry, but she still says she believes in Xiang Mingzhu! Xiang Mingzhu really deserves to die. I hope she can reflect on her actions in prison for a few years."
"Xiang Mingzhu is a rat in the gutter, a cancer in the field of traditional Chinese medicine! Oppose Xiang Mingzhu and refuse to buy any products from the Xiang Group!"
"I oppose the Xiang family continuing to be one of the four great families in the imperial capital, unless Xiang Mingzhu is removed from the list!"
"Lu Yingxue is so innocent, so pitiful!"
Qiao Xi looked at the "generous" and "gentle" woman on the TV screen and could not imagine that such a woman would kill someone.
A snake in the mouth of a Buddha.
I'm talking about people like Lu Yingxue.
Her words made Xiang Mingzhu the target of public criticism, while her own reputation remained intact. She even gained more sympathy because she was an innocent victim.
It also makes people question the value of Qiao Xi's title as the champion of traditional Chinese medicine, and think that she got lucky.
Although Qiao Xi is powerful, she is not as good as Lu Yingxue.
Such statements are becoming more and more common and deeply rooted in people's minds.
Lu Yingxue is so good at manipulating public opinion!
Just as Qiao Xi was sighing with a cold face, she heard Lu Yingxue say on TV.
"Actually, I have some news to share with everyone. My elders have arranged a marriage for me. On the 8th of next month, I will be engaged to Zhong Yi!"
This news is like thunder!
It makes my head buzz!
Marriage between the Lu and Zhong families?
Qiao Xi found herself increasingly confused about Master Zhong's actions. Perhaps the champion of the needle-testing competition meant nothing to him. While he was using the champion title to exchange benefits with Huo Xingzhou, he still married Lu Yingxue to support the Lu family.
Is this the way businessmen do things?
It's too confusing.
"Congratulations, Miss Lu! I never thought that you and Master Zhong, this perfect couple, would finally get engaged. I'd love to have a drink at the wedding."
"Thanks."
Lu Yingxue's cheeks flushed and her eyes were shining.
Seems very satisfied.
This also deterred many who wanted to take advantage of the situation to harm the Lu family. The Lu family had found a new backer. The previous engagement was finally going to be fulfilled, rather than just a rumor.
Some people who want to take advantage of the Xiang family's misfortune to add insult to injury to the Lu family should think twice.
Qiao Xi stood up and turned off the TV.
It turns out that Lu Yingxue's interview kills three birds with one stone.
"Young Madam, the Yangchun noodles are ready." Xiaoyuan greeted, holding a bowl of steaming soup.
"Coming right up."
Qiao Xi responded. She didn't know that someone had quietly found a place for her and set up a trap.
…
And in the Xiang family villa halfway up the mountain in Qiu Shui.
Crackling.
There was a crisp sound.
The ground was a mess, full of broken ornaments and ceramic fragments.
Xiang Mingzhu's face was pale. She was watching a TV interview in her pajamas and was so angry that she smashed anything she could get her hands on.
“Ahem…”
She held her chest and coughed until her lungs were about to burst.
Yesterday, she was so angry that she was sent back to the villa by the bodyguard. Today, she woke up to the sad news that Lu Yingxue and Zhong Yi were getting engaged on the 8th of next month!
How could Lu Yingxue step on her to get to the top!
"Zhong Yi is mine! He is my man, and Lu Yingxue is the one who stole my love! Why did they all betray me?" Xiang Mingzhu had her hair loose, and her expression was sad and resentful.
"younger sister."
Xiang Tao restrained her, "Stop shouting! Uncle said yesterday that you had paranoia, and that was all just your imagination. Zhong Yi is your cousin-in-law, calm down!"
"I'm not delusional! Those are all true, but I didn't leave any evidence! Zhong Yi lied to me, and Lu Yingxue is also a bitch! Big brother, don't you believe me?"
She cried out to Mingzhu, her long hair disheveled.
Xiang Tao and Xiang Mingzhu have the best relationship. The Xiang family is in trouble now, and the Lu family may not necessarily save them.
His father is still in the hospital for emergency treatment, and he wants to completely block the news so that the media cannot know about it.
The second brother Xiang Ze was upset about the incident of streaking at the Guan family birthday party and the needle-testing meeting. He drank and became decadent, unable to take on the responsibility.
He has average business talent, but he has a clear mind.
I can only place my hope on my father, hoping that he can wake up and take charge of the situation.
He grabbed Xiang Mingzhu's hand and yelled, "I believe you! But you have no evidence! Mingzhu, how could Uncle and Yingxue be so smart not have noticed Young Master Zhong's clues? They just didn't want to investigate further, and they also got the benefits of the marriage! This is an unspoken agreement between the Zhong and Lu families."
Otherwise, why has the marriage between the two families been rumored for so long, but now it has been settled?
When it comes down to it, top wealthy families are all about exchanging interests.
"How could this happen..."
Xiang Mingzhu's heart grew colder and colder, and she became the biggest victim.
Xiang Tao was silent for a moment and then said, "Mingzhu, the most important thing right now is the case you're carrying. We already have Xiang Huai in jail, and you can't go in again. I have a way to save you."
Xiang Mingzhu looked at him suddenly: "What method?"
