Chapter 304: Sophistry
The old lady's face turned gloomy and cruel. She grabbed the cup at hand and threw it at Aunt Yao.
"ah……"
Aunt Yao screamed as the cup hit her forehead, leaving a hole in it and blood gushed out.
"Bitch." The old lady roared in anger.
Aunt Yao ignored the wound on her forehead and said in panic, "Madam, I am innocent. The things that Third Miss said have nothing to do with me. I just accidentally heard Aunt Lin and her maid Yutian conspiring to talk about this some time ago. If I am wrong, it is because I knew about it but did not report it. But at that time, I thought I heard it wrong, so I did not raise my vigilance."
"Miss San also said that it was Miss Liu who came to tell her that the eldest young master owed gambling debts and asked Miss Yi to pay money to redeem him. Could it be that this was a play put on by Aunt Lin and her daughter?"
"Please investigate clearly, Madam. Let's not talk about the distant things. Just ask who informed the eldest young lady that she went to rescue people. You will know it if you ask her. Miss Three can't just believe Miss Six's one-sided words and put all the blame on me. I won't accept it."
Aunt Yao showed a stubborn and unyielding look as she spoke.
Lu Qiao, this bitch, actually turned against Lu Xiang at the critical moment.
She wondered how Lu Xiang knew so much and rushed to rescue people so quickly.
It turned out that the problem was with her.
Aunt Yao suddenly felt a mouthful of blood in her throat. Thanks to Lu Qiao, she failed at the last minute!
If Lu Qiao hadn't gone to find Lu Xiang today, she would have succeeded. She would be celebrating quietly in the house now, instead of being dragged by Lu Xiang by the hair to the old lady and facing an unknown ending.
When Lu Qiao heard what Aunt Yao said, she was like a lit firecracker about to explode. Her eyes were blazing with fire and she was about to point at Aunt Yao's nose and curse her, but she suddenly received an icy and cold gaze from Lu Xiang, which instantly extinguished her anger. Because the gaze was too cold, she shivered suddenly and shrank her neck weakly, not daring to be too presumptuous.
"Mrs. Yao's ability to quibble is really impressive. I wonder if Mama Zhou and Huazhi are as stubborn as you." Lu Xiang sneered nonchalantly.
When Aunt Yao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she tried to remain calm.
At this time, Zhao Qingya and Aunt Lin also heard the news and rushed over.
Zhao Qingya walked into the room with a puzzled look on her face.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. The old lady's face was gloomy and cold. Aunt Yao knelt on the ground in embarrassment, her makeup was smudged from crying. She was already old, and at this moment she looked even more hideous and ugly.
She didn't dare to ask at this time, and after entering the house, she stood next to Mother Wen.
Compared to Zhao Qingya's bewilderment, Aunt Lin was so frightened that her legs almost went weak and she fell to her knees after entering the room.
Lu Qiao immediately held Aunt Lin's hand to prevent her from making a fool of herself. Otherwise, Aunt Lin's guilty and frightened look would have confirmed the dirty water Aunt Yao had thrown on her.
Aunt Lin had to come because she heard that her daughter had come to Fuyuantang.
Otherwise, even if the Third Miss beat Aunt Yao to death, she would not come.
Lu Qiao held Aunt Lin's hand tightly, and looked at her soothingly with her dark eyes. Although she did not say anything, the tacit understanding between mother and daughter still existed.
Aunt Lin didn't know what exactly happened, but it was always right to follow her daughter's lead and act accordingly.
"Mother Wen, go and tie up all the servants in the Pear Courtyard." The old lady ordered in a cold voice.
She believed what her granddaughter said and didn't believe what Aunt Yao said.
She refused to admit it, right? Then she would leave her speechless.
The Lu family's backyard has always been very clean. Ever since Xiangxiang's mother married in and took charge of the household, the concubines have been well behaved. Although they are a little dirty, they have never used such vicious means.
As time went by, these people forgot the old lady's abilities and methods.
She was just old, not dead. Yao dared to plot under her nose, which was simply seeking death.
The old lady calmed down, and her deep eyes revealed a decisive and murderous ruthlessness.
Mother Wen responded and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Lu Youping hurried to Fuyuantang.
He strode into the room, followed by Manager Du.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Aunt Yao kneeling on the ground. His expression changed and he kicked her. Aunt Yao screamed and fell to the side, knocking over a chair.
"Bitch, I'm usually too lenient with you, that's why you're so sharp and vicious."
Lu Youping found that Qiao Luchao was beaten to the point of being on his last breath, so he went to see his son as soon as he returned home. The doctor was treating his injuries at that time. The doctor said that several of his bones were broken and his face was bruised. If Lu Youping hadn't known that the person lying on the bed was his own son, he would not have recognized him.
The doctor said that if he was hit a few more times, he might really die.
Lu Youping suddenly became furious.
His son had a quarrel with him over a mistress, and he kicked her out of the house with the original intention of making him suffer so that he would change his mind, but how could he allow others to beat him half to death?
When Qiao Jingru learned that Lu Youping had gone to Qinghuiyuan, she asked Ah Man to come and pass on the message.
Only then did Lu Youping realize that his son was beaten like this because of Aunt Yao's plot. The anger in his heart surged to the top of his head, as if it was going to break through his head and turn into a mushroom cloud.
Qiao Jingru had not communicated with Lu Xiang in advance, and she only listened to Ah Man briefly explain Lu Xiang's suspicion of Aunt Yao in recent days, so she instantly realized that everything she had suffered was caused by her.
Aunt Yao was beaten, hit, and kicked repeatedly, and her whole body was in pain. However, the pain was nothing. The panic in her heart was the most terrible.
"Master...Master..."
"Shut up." Lu Youping glared at her. "Someone, lock up Yao. Once all her crimes are clear, we can punish her one by one."
Manager Du bowed in response, then called a few maids to Fuyuan Hall to take Aunt Yao away.
Aunt Yao cried and protested in panic, and Manager Du immediately took a rag and blocked her mouth.
The old lady took a few deep breaths, finally clearing her confused mind a little, and then looked at Lu Youping: "I have seen Chao'er, how is he?"
Lu Youping's face looked very ugly. After a pause, he said, "Several bones in my hands and feet were broken. The doctor said that I just need to take care of myself after they are fixed. My face is swollen like a pig's head and I can't recognize it. But the external injuries are not fatal. There is some internal bleeding. Fortunately, I didn't die. If I was hit a few more times, I would have died..."
The old lady covered her chest with her hands and fell down on the couch, feeling both distressed and angry.
"If Sixth Girl hadn't discovered this and told Xiangxiang in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
That bitch Yao must not be let off easily.
Lu Xiang listened expressionlessly as Lu Youping described Lu Chao's injuries. Haha, he wasn't beaten to death, he must be lucky.
Lu Qiao looked at Lu Xiang with fear, and then looked away. She was ashamed of what the old lady said.
