Chapter 399 Backdoor
"In that case, let's wait until my husband wakes up before making a decision. Someone, ask Aunt Lu to go back and take good care of him." Liu Anyao ordered helplessly.
"If I don't go back, you guys are going to take advantage of my husband's coma to harm me. I want to wait here for my husband to wake up." Lu Mingzhu held the bed tightly.
She couldn't be locked up, as the two old men believed that she was trying to kill her husband, and Liu Anyao was jealous that she was pregnant. Once she was confined, she would never see her husband again.
Maybe when my husband wakes up, these people will directly convict her and will not give her a chance to appeal.
The more Lu Mingzhu thought about it, the more she felt that Liu Anyao and the others had bad intentions.
Mrs. Xiao was furious when she saw Lu Mingzhu's rogue appearance. She said angrily, "Don't be shameless. If you don't leave, don't blame me for forcing you."
As soon as Mrs. Xiao saw her unconscious son, she hated Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu looked at Mrs. Xiao's cold and sharp gaze and shrank her neck in fear.
Seeing that her master was in no condition to get anything done, Huamei hurried to her side, held her arm and whispered, "Aunt, let's go back first. When the young master wakes up, we can ask him to decide and clear your name. Now is not the time to confront him head-on."
If there is someone in Fan Xiao's family who speaks up for the aunt, she won't become the target of public criticism.
Everyone believes that the aunt has murdered the eldest young master. As long as the eldest young master is unconscious, the aunt cannot explain herself even if she has ten mouths.
He who knows practical matters is a hero. Staying here will only make people more annoying and will not bring any good results.
Huamei really cares about Lu Mingzhu.
However, after hearing what Huamei said, Lu Mingzhu suddenly felt that Huamei was also laughing at her. Her pretty face suddenly twisted, and she turned around and slapped Huamei: "You bastard, when will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?"
All the anger she felt towards the Xiao family was suddenly vented on Huamei.
Huamei was stunned and looked at Lu Mingzhu in disbelief.
She just glared at him angrily, then stood up and left without looking back.
Huamei was embarrassed and ashamed. She bowed to everyone in the room and hurriedly chased after Lu Mingzhu.
It was not until the evening that Xiao Muheng weakly opened his eyes. There was a blankness in his eyes at first, and then he jumped up with a start. Seeing this, Liu Anyao, who was leaning on the couch by the window and watching over him, hurriedly got up and walked over.
"My husband, you are awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Muheng looked at the familiar room and his expression suddenly changed: "Why am I here?"
Isn’t he taking the examination in the Imperial Academy?
Why did you return to the mansion?
"Husband, you fainted in the Imperial Examination Hall and were sent back." Liu Anyao said.
Sent...back...
When Xiao Muheng heard these words, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
Yes, he was writing a policy paper when he suddenly felt dizzy and soon lost consciousness.
It's over! It's all over.
He was sent out of the Imperial Academy and missed the opportunity to take the autumn examination. He would have to wait three years before taking the next one.
A lot of things could happen in three years. If he passes the exam this time, he would be able to rise rapidly with the help of Prime Minister Liu, and maybe even reach a high position in three years.
Now, he has nothing except the title of a juren.
The more Xiao Muheng thought about it, the more annoyed and furious he became. His handsome face was filled with infinite coldness. He punched the bedpost: "Damn it..."
He was only one step away from becoming the top scholar, and yet he flew away.
Liu Anyao looked at Xiao Muheng, who looked as if he had cut his own flesh, and said, "The doctor has found out the reason why you fainted. Aunt Lu asked for a very good fortune for you, and you were soaked in oleander water, so you were poisoned."
Oleander...
Xiao Muheng looked at Liu Anyao in shock. He never expected that he was actually tricked by Lu Mingzhu.
There were mint leaves in his purse, which were meant for him to use to refresh himself, but he could not stand the mixed smell of mint and oleander since he was a child.
"Lu, Ming. Zhu."
Xiao Muheng had a gloomy face, and the three words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. His expression was as cold as frost in the twelfth lunar month.
Liu Anyao lowered her eyes, as if she didn't see Xiao Muheng's poisonous gaze, and said, "Mrs. Lu said she was wronged and never thought of harming my husband. My parents decided to keep her under custody. My husband, do you want to call Mrs. Lu to ask her about it?"
"Ha." Xiao Muheng sneered angrily: "What are you asking? Lu Mingzhu, that bitch, if it weren't for her, how could I have fainted and been carried out of the Imperial Examination Hall?"
"In my opinion, she didn't mean it." Liu Anyao advised softly.
The more she spoke for Lu Mingzhu, the more hatred she aroused in Xiao Muheng's heart.
"This idiot, I missed the autumn exam because of her, how can you just erase it with a careless sentence? Tell me, seal off Lu Mingzhu's yard, and from today on, don't let her take a single step. Remove all the servants, and only keep the three that she brought as a dowry. When the children are born, send them to the farm immediately and don't let them come back for life."
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Liu Anyao's lips, but it was retracted in an instant without Xiao Muheng noticing.
Lu Mingzhu, oh Lu Mingzhu, you really surprise me. You can even kill yourself, so she doesn't have to do anything.
If you go to Zhuangzi, even if you die suddenly, no one will suspect you.
As for the illegitimate son, it would be too easy for him to die quietly.
Even if she was kind enough to let him grow up alive, couldn't she raise a child without a mother however she wanted?
Liu Anyao's gloomy mood since Lu Mingzhu became pregnant suddenly became brighter.
"My husband, let me handle these small matters. Although you have been cured of the poison, you still need to take good care of yourself. If you missed the autumn examination, then you missed it. I will go back to the Liu family to explain the situation to my father. You have talent and you don't need to prove yourself with the top scorer. As long as you can enter the officialdom, one day you will soar to the sky and let everyone see your ability."
Liu Anyao's words immediately gave Xiao Muheng a reassurance. Although he wanted to become the top scholar so that Prime Minister Liu would see his talent and support him more attentively, he had missed the autumn examination and the Imperial Academy would not open a seat for him again. If he didn't use Prime Minister Liu's back door, he would have to spend another three years studying again.
He can't wait.
"Yao'er, marrying you is a blessing I have earned in several lifetimes. Without your help, I really don't know what I would do." Xiao Muheng looked at Liu An Yao'er with shining eyes, holding her hand, with a tender look on his face.
Liu Anyao's cheeks became hot when she saw the doting look in Xiao Muheng's eyes. She lowered her eyes shyly and said, "My husband, you and I are one. If you become successful, I will also be able to rise to the top. Naturally, I hope things will get better and better."
"Don't worry, Yao'er. Your husband will definitely earn you a title and bring you back to great glory."
"Well, I believe in you, sir."
