Chapter 744: Broken Promise
"Raise me?" Lu Yichen looked at Madam Lu, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "What you mean by raise me? You mean poison me, making my body increasingly weak, living in pain, but unable to die, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Madam Lu with disbelief. They were not fools, so they naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Yichen's words. Wasn't it clear that Madam Lu had poisoned him?
So, this is how the news of the Lu family's third son being frail and sickly spread over the years. It turns out that this wasn't just a case of being frail and sickly, but rather that he was poisoned by Old Madam Lu!
If this is true, then Madam Lu is really too cruel.
Before, I thought that what Mr. Lu did was cruel enough, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Lu was no less cruel! It's true that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same house! Neither the couple is a good person.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Madam Lu also noticed the disdainful looks from the people around her. Although she felt a little guilty, she immediately retorted, "Lu Yichen, stop slandering me here. It's clearly you who's weak, and now you're trying to find an excuse by saying I poisoned you. If you were really poisoned, how could you be so healthy now?"
"Over the years, although I haven't treated you as well as the other children, I believe I haven't treated you unfairly! It seems that those who are not biological children can't be raised well."
Although on the surface, every word she said was very logical and she didn't show any guilt at all, but in her heart, she was panicking.
She didn't know if Lu Yichen knew anything, but she absolutely couldn't admit it now. In addition, it had been so many years since the incident, and Lu Yichen had no evidence at all, so she didn't need to be afraid at all.
Looking at Madam Lu's calm appearance, for a moment, everyone didn't know whether to believe Lu Yichen or Madam Lu.
"That's poisoning, not death." Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes. "Even if he's poisoned, there's an antidote. Also, don't bring up the issue of whether they're biological children or not. You know exactly how you feel about Yichen."
"Whether you admit it or not is not important at all. Now as long as we believe that you did it, then it is you who did it."
Just a few simple words, but with endless confidence, making people believe her words involuntarily.
Old Madam Lu was startled and immediately realized that the current situation was really unfavorable to her. She was about to say something to defend herself when she saw Lu Yichen approaching her step by step.
Lu Yichen's face was icy cold, and he exuded a chilling aura as he approached her step by step. Panic began to spread in her heart. She involuntarily took two steps back, but still spoke tremblingly, "Lu Yichen, what...what do you want to do? I...I'm telling you, we're in front of everyone here. If you dare to do anything to me, you will be held responsible."
Zhong Nianyao also took a few steps forward, coming to Madam Lu's front, and said with a smile, "Madam Lu, you are afraid too! You haven't done anything wrong, so why are you afraid? Shouldn't you use the truth to overwhelm us at this time?"
"you--"
If you still don't understand the meaning of the words, you are a fool.
However, just as Mrs. Lu started, she was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded seriously, then said, "But, at this moment, it's understandable that you're afraid. After all, what's coming next is enough to scare you."
The anger in her heart had not subsided. After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Mrs. Lu no longer felt any anger, but instead a sense of fear surged from the bottom of her heart.
"What do you want to do?" Madam Lu felt her breathing slow down several times. "I warn you, if you-"
"Don't worry, I'm not planning on hurting you here." Zhong Nianyao interrupted her directly, "Sometimes I really feel that although Mr. Lu is cruel, he is at least a smart man. But as his wife, you are only cruel and have no brains. Because of you, everything that Mr. Lu hoped for has now disappeared, and his death has become meaningless."
When she said this, Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and smiled, her tone full of sarcasm, "Tell me, if Mr. Lu knew about the stupid things you did, would he be so angry that he would overturn the coffin?"
"You...what do you mean?"
Old Madam Lu's breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled when she spoke.
At this moment, she had a very bad premonition in her heart, as if something unexpected had happened, which would lead to an uncontrollable situation.
Lu Yichen looked at Madam Lu coldly, his voice so low that only the three of them could hear it.
"Lu Kun is willing to pay the price for what he has done, and I promise to only hold him responsible and not let the entire Lu family be buried with him."
"What do you want to do?"
Mrs. Lu's throat seemed to be choked by something, and even her voice seemed to be tinged with a hint of fear.
At this moment, she finally realized the reality that her appearance here today was the biggest mistake.
"What do we want to do?" Zhong Nianyao smiled brightly, seeming very happy, but her words made people feel an endless chill. "I once promised Mr. Lu that I would not hold the Lu family responsible, but that was on the premise that no one in the Lu family would seek death again."
"Now that you're here, you've already broken the agreement between us and Mr. Lu. The promise to let the Lu family go is now a thing of the past!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Lu's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her complexion became extremely bad, as if she was about to collapse in the next second.
"No, you...you can't do this. What happened today was my idea alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else. The rest of the Lu family didn't know anything at all. They are innocent."
She came here today, having truly risked everything. However, she was willing to risk herself, but she never thought that it would harm her children and grandchildren.
Right now, her mind was in a mess. She tried hard to think about what she should do now. However, her mind was a mess at this moment, and she had no idea at all.
