Min and her son Lu Xingteng's faces changed drastically, turning pale and blue, looking extremely ugly.
The two of them felt something was wrong and immediately pulled Lu Tian back. Min's face was full of apology, "My husband is not drunk, he is telling the truth."
Ah! How could I have said the truth? Min also hurriedly covered her mouth.
Lu Xingteng realized something and hurriedly asked someone to take his parents to the backyard.
However, they didn't expect that several strong servants had already blocked their way like a human wall and prevented them from leaving.
"How dare you block the master's way!" Lu Xingteng was furious and scolded the servant.
The servants, however, had sullen faces, folded their elbows, and stood like a solid wall, motionless and silent.
Lu Xingteng didn't know that these servants were not from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion. They were all arranged by Shang Xingjian to monitor his family.
Among the guests nearby were elderly people. When they heard about the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, their old eyes lit up. They sighed deliberately, attracting the attention of their tablemates, and then told the story of the disappearance of the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in Luzhou thirty years ago.
Of course, these old ministers were also arranged by Shang Xingjian so that the guests present could understand the ins and outs of the matter.
The Lu Tian family of three had no way to retreat and nowhere to escape. Su Wanti stared at Lu Tian and pressed on, "Where is the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"
"He was taken away."
"Were you there at the time?"
"I'm just watching from the dark."
"Why did you appear in Luzhou, and why did you hide in the dark and watch the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery being taken away?"
Lu Tian bit his lips so hard that they were about to bleed, but he still couldn't control his throat and mouth, and he spoke out the vicious trick from thirty years ago with his own mouth.
"Why am I in Luzhou? Because I want to watch my nephew die with my own eyes!"
"I bribed the servants to beat him to death and dump his body in the water to make it look like he drowned. The servants were young, and I was afraid they wouldn't be able to do their job well, so I secretly came to Luzhou to monitor their actions."
"They really didn't dare to kill him. After knocking my nephew unconscious, they ran away in fear."
"At that time, I was hiding in the dark and was about to do it myself, but unexpectedly a couple came and happened to wake up my nephew. I saw the couple take him away."
It turned out that my father was knocked unconscious at that time. No wonder Old Man Su said that my father was dazed and didn't know anything when asked. Su Wanti thought.
"That couple took off all his gold and silver jewelry and pawned them in a pawnshop. I followed them, redeemed the jewelry at a high price, and bribed the shopkeeper to keep the matter a secret and not let anyone know."
"I followed the couple, intending to find a remote location and kill them. Unexpectedly, they took the main road and joined a dozen other people at the city gate. With so many people, it was difficult to kill them."
"Just then, I discovered the three servants who had escaped. Fearing they might leak the secret, I went to deal with them first. After killing them and throwing them into the ditch, I went to the city gate, but there was no trace of the couple or my nephew."
"Plop", the chopsticks in someone's hand fell to the ground.
In this hall as quiet as a dead pool, the crisp sound was particularly clear. It was not a loud sound, but it was enough to frighten people.
"You, you, you evil beast! How could you murder your own nephew!" Old Madam Lu burst into tears, her heart broken. She raised her heavy crutch and hit Lu Tian again and again.
Su Wanti silently moved closer to Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu was also within the spray range of the Zhenyan Pill powder, so what she said first was true. She really had no knowledge of what happened thirty years ago.
Lu Tian first tried to avoid his mother's cane, but soon he stopped dodging. He turned around and grabbed the cane, saying harshly, "Old lady, you should have died a long time ago. If I weren't afraid that my brother would no longer care about me after you died, I would have used precious medicinal herbs to keep you alive all day long."
Madam Lu was furious, "I am your biological mother!"
Lu Tian sneered, "We are from the same mother, so why did you give birth to my brother who is strong and powerful, as strong as an ox, while I am thin and weak? If I were as strong as my brother, I would also join the army and make great achievements, be promoted to a general and be granted a title. Why would I still scheme and plot to steal his things?"
Madam Lu was so angry that her face turned purple. The breath was stuck in her chest and she fainted.
The guests present were shocked by Lu Tian's vicious and shameless reason.
How can a mother decide the physical constitution of her child?
Lu Tian was jealous of his brother's power and greedy for authority. He not only plotted to murder his nephew, but also took a grudge against his mother.
He blames everyone but refuses to face up to his own nature of being unwilling to work hard, ungrateful, malicious, and extremely greedy.
It's so shameless and makes no sense!
At this moment, the housekeeper came back from the backyard wing after making all the arrangements. When he saw his master had told him everything that happened thirty years ago, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees, weeping bitterly:
"Please spare my life, County Master Huide! This was all Master's order. It was Master who ordered me to find a strong aphrodisiac and to send a dozen strong men into the wing room to rape the County Master... My whole family is in Master's hands. I had no choice but to do as he ordered!"
Everyone present was stunned and in an uproar.
Shang Xingjian sat at the main table with a stern look on his face. He exerted a little force, and the wine glass in his hand turned into powder in an instant.
"Lu Tian plotted to murder the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, disregarding human ethics and attempting to murder the Princess of Huide County. His crime is unforgivable. Lu Tian and his close associates will be immediately taken to the Dali Temple for rigorous interrogation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tian and the others looked ashen, covered in cold sweat, and knelt on the ground.
It's over, decades of planning are all over...
"Who are you?" Lu Tian stared at Su Wanti with hatred in his dark eyes.
