Chapter 407: Pursue to the End
If she had deliberately pretended to have a miscarriage in front of everyone, then Lu Mingzhu was really struck by lightning at this moment. She looked at Xiao Muheng in a daze, with her mind blank.
Isn't this different from what she expected?
Shouldn't my husband feel disgusted with Liu Anyao?
The Liu family is extremely powerful, is your husband willing to be suppressed like this? Even if he doesn't dare to do anything to Liu Anyao now, he should never have this attitude.
For a moment, Lu Mingzhu began to feel anxious.
If she can't create a rift between her husband and Liu Anyao and win her husband's heart back, then what's the point of her doing all this?
"Husband... Husband..." Lu Mingzhu stared at Xiao Muheng in a daze, and said unwillingly, "This is our first child. Husband, don't you feel sorry for him at all? Liu Anyao can't tolerate my child, and she won't tolerate other children in the mansion in the future. Such a cruel woman, husband, are you really unmoved?"
Xiao Muheng looked at Lu Mingzhu expressionlessly: "Didn't you say forget it and not pursue it anymore?"
He now has to obey Liu Anyao in everything in order to take advantage of Prime Minister Liu's power, but he will never allow Liu Anyao to bully him in the future.
Lu Mingzhu choked and looked at Xiao Muheng through tears with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She tried to use her beauty to arouse Xiao Muheng's pity.
However, when Xiao Muheng looked at Lu Mingzhu in front of him, he was thinking of Lu Xiang.
If Lu Xiang begged him like this, perhaps he would soften his heart.
But he couldn't say that he liked Lu Mingzhu. The reason he favored her was just because she became his concubine. She was prettier than Liu Anyao and was well-behaved and obedient, so he did it for the sake of novelty.
Now the novelty is gone.
How stupid he was to still have feelings for Lu Mingzhu after she caused him to miss the autumn exam. If it weren't for the baby in her belly, he wouldn't even bother to step into this yard.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" The indifference in Xiao Muheng's eyes made her feel uneasy, as if the tenderness and affection in the past were all just a mirage.
Xiao Muheng no longer had the patience to stay, so he turned around and was about to leave.
Liu Anyao had no intention of leaving. She looked at Lu Mingzhu and said coldly, "Lu Mingzhu, you don't want to let it go now. I want to get to the bottom of it. You know exactly how your child died. Don't try to throw this dirty water on me. From childhood to adulthood, I, Liu Anyao, have never been slandered like this."
"Come here, take all the servants around Lu Mingzhu away and interrogate them strictly."
"Anyone who has had contact with them, please ask this lady one by one."
"I want everyone to see clearly whether it is me who is cruel and ruthless, or Lu Mingzhu who is cold-blooded and ruthless."
Lu Mingzhu immediately looked like she had been wronged and Liu Anyao had gone too far. She looked at Liu Anyao in grief and anger, "Madam, are you trying to force me to confess? I don't want to pursue the matter anymore, why are you still unwilling to let me go? Do you have to force me to commit suicide on the spot before you stop?"
"Heh..." Liu Anyao sneered unmoved: "If you want to die, it's your business, no one will stop you... take you away."
She shouted loudly, and immediately the old women and maids rushed in and surrounded Qin Mama and the other two.
"Husband..." Lu Mingzhu looked at Xiao Muheng in panic and called him softly, hoping that Xiao Muheng could see her grievances and speak for her.
Xiao Muheng glanced at Lu Mingzhu indifferently without saying anything.
Liu Anyao's strong attitude made him realize clearly that this matter might not be as simple as he saw.
Suddenly, the sound of a stool falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes fell on Mother Qin, and Mother Qin's face suddenly turned pale with fright.
Shuhua stepped forward and grabbed Mama Qin, angrily saying, "You look so flustered, there must be something fishy going on, Madam. I think it would be better to hang her up and beat her up first, I'm sure I can pry something out of her."
Mother Qin was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly: "No... no, I don't know anything, I don't know..."
Lu Mingzhu didn't expect that Mother Qin would be so impatient. She yelled at Shuhua in a rage, "How dare you! When did it ever become your turn as a servant to be in charge here?"
"She can't make the decision, but I can. Take Mother Qin away and beat her up." Liu Anyao said in a deep voice.
Mother Qin's legs went limp, and she fell to the ground in panic: "Madam, please spare me, this has nothing to do with me."
"If you surrender honestly, I will spare your life." Liu Anyao said.
Hearing this, Mother Qin looked at Lu Mingzhu in fear and trepidation: "I'm sorry, Auntie. I don't want to die."
Lu Mingzhu was shocked. Before she could speak to stop them, she saw Mother Qin kneeling down and saying, "Master, the child was not caused by Madam. It was Auntie who drank the abortion pills and put the blame on Madam..."
Mother Qin told the whole story about how she went out to buy medicine last night and how she secretly mixed it with the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Liu Anyao sent her today.
Huamei and Lanqiu didn't know about this matter, and they were so shocked after hearing it that they couldn't recover for a long time.
Lu Mingzhu was shocked and angry, and her whole body began to tremble with anger.
It was in vain that she trusted her so much, but Mother Qin actually betrayed her.
This bitch!
"You're talking nonsense, you dog." Lu Mingzhu gasped and said angrily.
Mother Qin shrank her neck in fear and said weakly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the maid guarding the courtyard gate and the servant guarding the back door. I made the abortion drug, and I watched with my own eyes as Auntie mixed the drug with the abortion-preserving drug and drank it all in one gulp."
Xiao Muheng's face was extremely ugly, with a gloomy look as if a storm was about to come.
He strode forward to the bedside and looked down at Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu raised her head slightly and called softly "husband", but as soon as her eyes met Xiao Muheng's, the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit them out. There was an endless abyss hidden deep in his dark eyes, which was suffocating.
With a "slap", Xiao Muheng raised his hand and slapped Lu Mingzhu in the face with all his strength.
"ah."
Lu Mingzhu screamed, and a burning pain suddenly came from her cheek, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She ignored the pain and grabbed Xiao Muheng's sleeve in fear: "Husband, it's not like that, listen to my explanation, it's not like that..."
"You still dare to quibble at this time?" Xiao Muheng glared at Lu Mingzhu angrily. His handsome face was frosty, as if it was covered with thousand-year-old ice. Lu Mingzhu, this vicious woman, could even harm her own flesh and blood. If he kept her by his side, he was afraid that one day she would become vicious and harm even him.
"Come here, Lu Mingzhu is cruel and ruthless in killing his descendants. Drag him away and give him fifty lashes. Send him to the manor immediately, regardless of life or death. From now on, there will be no such person in the Xiao Mansion."
