Chapter 548 Zhong Yi, you are doing this for that country girl
Xiang Mingzhu's words fell.
Lu Yingxue and Lu Bankong were both shocked!
Lu Yingxue was the first to speak up: "This is impossible! How could Zhong Yi say such a thing? How could he like a fool like you?"
This is a great humiliation for Lu Yingxue!
Xiang Mingzhu is inferior to her in every way. Who would give up such an excellent girl and choose such a fool as Xiang Mingzhu?
"It's true! Uncle, I didn't lie." Xiang Mingzhu cried, "Mr. Zhong and I have known each other since we were in Haicheng. We have been secretly in love and dared not let you find out. We even booked a room at Yunqi Hotel several times... And he gave me the dragon and phoenix engagement pendant you used for your wedding! It's on the dressing table in my room!"
She spoke with certainty.
Lu Yingxue bit her lip, hesitant: "If you lie, I will make you die miserably! Even if we are cousins, I will not let you go."
Lu Bangnong said coldly, "To tell whether she is lying or not, just look at her dressing table. Yingxue, call the Xiang family now and ask the maid to check her dressing table."
Lu Yingxue snorted coldly, took out her cell phone and called the Xiang family to explain the mission.
After a while, the phone call came from Xiang's home.
It is said that the dragon and phoenix pendant with the word "happiness" was indeed found on Xiang Mingzhu's dressing table.
The evidence is solid!
Lu Yingxue had no choice but to believe it, it turned out that Zhong Yi really had an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Mingzhu.
Lu Bannong's face turned pale. "On the one hand, he seduced Mingzhu to win the first prize in the needle-testing competition, and made her commit a heinous crime. On the other hand, he said he wanted to marry you, give you golden needles, and take over the Qian family's herbal medicine factory. What exactly is this Master Zhong selling? I'm afraid I have to ask him in person!"
Even Lu Bannong couldn't figure out Zhong Yi's purpose!
But I feel that the person who comes has bad intentions!
The Lu family has never done anything wrong to him, so why are they so vicious!
Is it a coincidence or intentional? The only way is to go and ask!
When Lu Yingxue heard him say this, she also found it very strange!
"Then shall we go to the Zhong family now?"
"You go find a lawyer to go through the bail process for Mingzhu. We will take the dragon and phoenix pendant and go to the Zhong family to ask for an explanation! The Zhong family is the most aristocratic family in the imperial capital, but they cannot bully others!"
Lu Bannong was furious.
If Zhong Yi really did all this on purpose, he would not let Zhong Yi off easily!
Even though he is the young master of the Zhong family, there is still Zhong Lingxiao above him!
It's not like he is the only one who can inherit the Zhong family!
"good."
Lu Yingxue was filled with resentment. She looked at Mingzhu coldly and turned away.
Xiang Mingzhu wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, uncle. But Master Zhong..."
"You still miss him?"
Lu Bangnong sneered at her and said, "You are now involved in a case and your reputation is ruined. The Xiang family is not as prosperous as before. What qualifications do you have to compete with Yingxue for this marriage? Besides, if Zhongyi is a smart person, he would not choose you."
"But my agreement with him is real, he..."
"Oh."
Lu Bannong looked at her mockingly, "You should think more about how to deal with the Huo family's lawsuit. This is just temporary bail for you, not a release of your innocence. If you have conclusive evidence and go through the process, you will still be sentenced."
Xiang Mingzhu's face turned pale and she was filled with panic.
"Uncle, my father loves me the most. He..."
"He's in emergency! He saw you being taken away by the police and then admitted to the hospital. Xiang Hai will be killed by you useless kids sooner or later. There's no hope for the Xiang family."
Lu Bannong was in a very bad mood. He shouldn't have been so closely tied to the Xiang family in the first place.
Although Xiang Hai is smart, he has been working so hard for so many years and his health is not good anymore!
The three sons and one daughter of the Xiang family are all idiots!
Xiang Mingzhu became even more terrified when she heard that Xiang Hai went to the hospital for rescue!
If her father hadn't come to rescue her, would there be no one to save her?
Her uncle and cousin hated her to the core, how could they possibly help her?
Her eyes were filled with tears, and suddenly a handsome and noble figure flashed through her mind.
Only him!
She must fight for the last ray of hope.
The lawyer hired by the Lu family quickly arrived at the police station, completed the bail procedure, and took Xiang Mingzhu out.
The Lu family's father and daughter had cold faces and walked towards the Zhong family with fear and anxiety towards Mingzhu.
…
The Zhong family.
In the living room.
The old lady of the Zhong family sat on a carved nanmu chair with her hands on her sides, staring at Zhong Yi who was slowly brewing tea in front of her.
"The needle testing competition is over, and your fiancée is not the winner. Don't you have anything to say to me?" The old lady asked him, holding a piece of crispy snack in her hand.
Zhongyi picked up the top grade Da Hong Pao and brewed it once.
Then he poured it into the justice cup and gave him one cup.
Put the teacup in front of the old man.
Zhong Yi then spoke slowly, with a tone of regret: "It's such a pity that Lu Yingxue didn't win the first prize in the needle testing competition. I thought the Lu family had a sure win this time."
Old Mrs. Zhong didn't drink her cup of tea and her expression turned a little colder.
"Are you really sorry or are you just pretending to be sorry? The Lu family can't figure out why you did all this, but I know it very well. You did it for that girl from the country!"
Old Mrs. Zhong's expression was serious. "Don't forget your identity. I have warned you again and again."
Zhong Yi held the teacup, took a sip and said, "My identity is the tool you brought back to continue the family bloodline. You are so afraid that the Zhong family will be cut off!"
Bang!
Old Mrs. Zhong swept the teacup to the ground, and said angrily: "It seems that we should reconsider the successor of our Zhong family. Although there is no direct descendant, we can always choose a capable person from the side branches."
Zhong Yi bent down and picked up the fragments on the ground one by one.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "Don't I listen to you very much? Why are you still thinking about changing the heir? An heir who is too easy to control has no opinions and cannot protect the Zhong family. Zhong Lingxiao is quite opinionated and scheming, but it's a pity that he can't have children. Unless you can make him have children, you can only choose me."
Old Mrs. Zhong stared at him with a cold look.
"Zhong Yi, there is no benefit in angering me. I hold your soft spot in my hand. I have taught you a long time ago not to expose your soft spot in front of others."
His weak spot is Qiao Xi.
Zhong Yi turned her head and looked him in the eye.
Their eyes met, and the air felt as tense as a string about to break.
The servants beside him were silent as a cicada, not daring to make even the slightest sound, for fear of angering the two men.
Wan Jiang, who was standing behind Zhong Yi, prayed that Master Zhong would not quarrel with the old lady, because if he did, he would lose his position as heir and his future as an assistant would be ruined too.
Sudden.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the old housekeeper walked up to the old lady and whispered, "Someone from the Lu family is here, and they want to see you and Master Zhong."
Old Mrs. Zhong withdrew her gaze from Zhong Yi, her face looking unhappy.
"Please let them in."
"Yes, old lady."
The butler took the order, went out and politely invited the Lu family in.
Zhong Yi smiled indifferently and winked at Wan Jiang behind him.
Wan Jiang's legs felt weak and his thighs were shaking. He knew that his black pot was coming.
