Chapter 42 The Little Leopard Baring Its Fangs
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around praised the granddaughter of the Qiao family for repaying evil with kindness and showing the demeanor of a noble person.
In front of the Qiao family, the son-in-law of the Qiao family dared to openly protect his concubine. I wonder how he neglected the mistress in private?
Listening to the whispers around him, Lu Yong couldn't save face after all, and muttered a few words. Wan'er fainted at such a bad time that he was accused of favoring his concubine over his wife, and he lost face in the end.
The crowd carried Wang Xiuwan into the house in a mighty manner, and the crowd outside who were watching the excitement also dispersed like birds and beasts.
When they got into the house, Lu Qiaoxiao ordered someone to add an excessive amount of menthol into the incense burner, and a little maid fanned Wang Xiuwan violently.
"Dad, it seems that this concubine is very ill, otherwise she wouldn't have fainted at the door. To put it bluntly, she might think that our family has treated her harshly!" Lu Qiaoxiao covered her nose and complained to Lu Yong.
Lu Yong also felt suffocated. He covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves and ordered, "Doctor, please wake my young wife up as quickly as possible."
Lu Qiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction and gave the little girl a look.
The maid fanned harder, and the doctor over there had already twisted a silver needle that was emitting a cold light and inserted it into Wang Xiuwan's finger without hesitation.
Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the person on the bed coldly and snorted, but there was no sign of waking up.
Yes, if she woke up now, she would be charged with deceiving her elders and feigning illness.
The doctor glanced at the person on the bed and immediately realized what was going on. He held five needles in his hand and muttered, "If these five needles are inserted at the same time, I think Madam will wake up! Don't worry, Master Lu."
As he spoke, the two needles were inserted into the wrist again. The needles touched the flesh but no blood was seen.
When the doctor held a thick needle, pointed it at Wang Xiuwan's head, and was about to drop it mercilessly——
A soft cry came from the couch: "My dear, Wan'er thought she would never see you again."
Lu Qiaoxiao signaled the doctor to go out and explain the situation to Old Madam Qiao. He poured a cup of hot tea from the table and handed it to Wang Xiuwan: "Auntie, please have some tea."
Seeing that Lu Yong didn't respond to her, Wang Xiuwan stopped crying and looked at Lu Qiaoxiao with vigilance.
She knew that Lu Yong was now afraid of Lu Qiaoxiao.
Behind her is Shen Xiang.
Now she is so arrogant even though she is not married yet. If she really marries into the Shen family, won't she be able to walk sideways in the Lu family?
"Auntie, are you afraid the tea might be poisoned? Qiao Xiao may have been naughty, but he never meant any harm. Besides, Daddy is here, how could Qiao Xiao dare to do anything?"
Lu Qiaoxiao saw through Wang Xiuwan's thoughts at a glance, but her purpose was not just to torture her with small tricks.
In her previous life, Wang Xiuwan had done many dirty things, including killing people, most of which were done to silence them or out of necessity. This meant that if she was pushed into a corner, she would definitely consider eradicating the root of the problem.
Decisions made by people under irrational circumstances often leave the biggest loopholes.
Lu Yong frowned and said, "Xiao'er will give you some tea, so just take it."
He was now completely afraid of his daughter, who was sharp-tongued and acted like she was upholding justice.
Sometimes she is even more annoying than the censors in the court, but you can't do anything about her.
Wang Xiuwan responded aggrievedly, but the fingers holding the teacup had turned red and had obvious blisters from the burns.
Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at her coldly, and suddenly thought of his mother's chronic illness in his previous life, which caused her to suffer from headaches and unbearable contractions every day.
At the end of his life, although he was in his early thirties, his memory was declining, as if he had aged decades in advance. His beautiful face had many terrible wrinkles due to years of poor sleep.
There are hundreds of ways to make Wang Xiuwan die, but if she dies too quickly, it will not be able to make up for the pain she and her brother suffered from losing their mother in their previous life.
Lu Yong asked cautiously, "Xiaoxiao, are we leaving tomorrow?"
"Dad? You just arrived today and will be back tomorrow. Don't let the news of your discord with my mother-in-law's family get out by then. You have to wait at least three days." Lu Qiaoxiao felt a little disappointed with the person in front of him who was related to him by blood.
Because in her previous life, her mother died, and even though Lu Yong guessed that her mother's serious illness was related to Wang, he did not have the heart to punish Wang Xiuwan severely.
She is such a vicious and cruel woman!
Lu Yong clearly didn't want to bring his mother back home, but now he took the initiative to go back to the Lu family immediately. The abnormality of this matter reminded him of an example in his previous life.
She went to the Pei family with her entire dowry, but in the end, it was devoured by the ruthless harem without leaving a single word behind.
My mother came into the Lu Mansion with a generous dowry. As long as my mother was alive, it was impossible for Lu Yong to keep all the dowry.
So, the reason why Wang Xiuwan came so quickly was partly due to her deliberate arrangements, but what kind of planning and arrangements did her father make?
Lu Yong got goose bumps from that half-smile look. "Xiaoxiao, if you say you don't want to leave, then don't leave. Wait for three days, then we'll set off again."
Lu Qiaoxiao noticed that Lu Yong had an evasive look in his eyes, and she guessed that it was possible that Lu Yong was involved.
"Okay, then I'll go tell my grandmother and mother right away. Dad, you stay with my aunt." Lu Qiaoxiao smiled immediately, as if his calmness just now was just an illusion.
The moment she turned her back, her face returned to its cold expression.
How can you carry out your plans if you don't give yourself enough time to be alone?

Prime Minister's Mansion:
A Yao had just received news from the Qingyu Guards and told Shen Yuheng everything about Lu Qiaoxiao's battle with the concubine at the gate of the Qiao family.
Although his young master showed no obvious emotion on his face, there was a suspicious blush on his earlobe.
Shen Yuheng held a sachet tightly in her hand, which she had accidentally dropped when she was riding in the carriage that day.
The sachet is embroidered with bright white crabapple flowers.
He folded his fingers slightly and placed the sachet on the tip of his nose to sniff.
Fresh and fragrant, just like her.
He couldn't help but think of the day when he took the opportunity to get close to her under the pretext that he was being followed by Prince Ding'an's spy.
The eyeliner is real, but it doesn't need to be that close.
But that day, bathed in the sunlight, her cheeks were like spring peaches in March, and her smiling eyes were lively and vivid, making people want to taste them:
The feeling of holding her in his arms.
Shen Yuheng put the sachet to his lips and his breathing became heavier.
Who would have thought that she, who was so soft and obedient in front of him, was a little leopard with bared fangs outside.
Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Shen Yuheng's eyes.
