Chapter 78 It's not an accident, it's man-made
Lu Xiang's dark eyes suddenly looked at Aunt Fang and Lu Yue, which made Aunt Fang's heart beat fast and she had an ominous feeling.
"The maid who fell into the water was the fifth sister's maid, where is Xia Qing?"
Lu Yue bumped into Lu Xiang's dark eyes, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason. She opened her mouth to say something, but found that Lu Xiang was no longer looking at her, as if the words she had just said were just to tell everyone who the person who fell into the water was.
Lu Yue clenched her fingers into fists at her sides, trying hard to suppress the uneasiness that was rising up in her.
Lan Qiu was the last one to be rescued. The servants continued to put out the fire, and Lu Mingzhu was sent back to the Heyuan.
Seeing that the old lady and Lu Youping had not returned, everyone followed them to the Lotus Garden.
The North Courtyard caught fire for no reason, and everyone wanted to know the reason.
Qiao Jingru stood close to Lu Xiang and whispered, "Lu Mingzhu is really lucky."
"But it's quite unlucky. I just saw that her forehead seemed to be hit. I think she will be left with a scar." Lu Xiang said softly.
Lu Yue wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of Lu Mingzhu, so she plotted against her, and Lu Xiang used the same trick to satisfy her.
She asked Ah Man and Xia Qing to set the fire together.
Lu Xiang once thought that if Lu Mingzhu was burned to death in this way, the feud between them would end there, but unfortunately God did not let her die.
Then keep it... and torture it slowly.
"Uh, aren't we being too obvious in gloating over other people's misfortune? Come on, show more grief." Qiao Jingru said, rubbing her face vigorously with her hands.
Lu Xiang's mouth twitched: "..."
I didn't expect you to be such a sister-in-law.
She immediately raised her hand and rubbed her cheek: "So, do you look a little sad?"
Qiao Jingru: “Yes.”
Inside the room, Liu took a handkerchief and gently wiped the cigarette ash off Lu Mingzhu's face. Her face was so black that her original appearance was almost unrecognizable.
Then, as she was wiping, Liu's hand suddenly stopped, and her face was filled with panic and anxiety.
His smooth forehead looked bloody as if he had hit the corner of the table.
"This..." The old lady sighed with regret. A girl's appearance is also very important. Such a burn would probably leave a scar after it heals.
Naturally, Liu also thought of this consequence. Her hands were shaking and she was extremely reluctant to the possibility that Lu Mingzhu would be disfigured.
Maybe it's just a minor injury, it can be cured, it can be cured...
"Here he comes, the doctor is here..." Luo Chun hurried over with the doctor.
Lu Xiang looked outside the door and guessed that the other doctor had also gone to treat Xia Qing.
In order to make it more realistic, Xia Qing was actually drowned for a long time and suffered.
Liu quickly stood up to make room for the doctor. She was too sad and swayed a bit. Lu Youping quickly supported her.
Liu fell on Lu Youping's shoulder and cried silently. Her tearful appearance instantly aroused Lu Youping's desire to protect her. He kept comforting her almost collapsed emotions: "It will be fine, it will be fine."
Aunt Fang was so jealous that she was spitting fire. She cried and tried to get sympathy whenever she got the chance. What a bitch.
Lu Mingzhu injured her back because she was crushed by a pillar. She was lying on the bed, her face pale and her black hair scattered messily on her face. She looked so pitiful, like a weak willow in the wind, which made people feel very sorry for her.
Liu looked at the doctor who was taking her pulse nervously, her heart in her throat.
After a long while, the doctor stood up and said, "Master Lu, this young lady was choked by the smoke. Fortunately, her life is not in danger. However, the wound on her back is a bit serious. I will prepare some ointment to apply and prescribe some medicine for her to drink. However, I am afraid that the wound may become infected and cause a fever, so someone must stay by her side for the next two days."
"Will there be scars left after applying the ointment?" Liu asked anxiously.
The doctor's expression was somewhat solemn. He knew how important the girl's body and appearance were and that she must not be injured. He tried to be as tactful as possible and said, "I am incompetent. This scar... I'm afraid it can't be removed. The wound on the forehead is lighter, so the scar will be lighter. The wound on the back is probably..."
The doctor didn't say the last words, but everyone understood.
When Liu heard this, her eyes turned black and she fainted.
It's ruined, her daughter, it's ruined!
Although the scar on her back is invisible when she is wearing clothes, how can she get married in the future? Which man can tolerate his wife having such an ugly scar on her body?
Not to mention there will be a scar on the forehead.
There was a flurry of activity in the room. The maids hurriedly helped Liu onto the bed, while the doctor pinched her Ren Zhong point and gave her acupuncture...
At this time, Manager Du walked into the Lotus Courtyard, looking dusty and dusty.
"Master, Madam, the fire has been put out. The fire started in the fourth young lady's bedroom. A servant smelled kerosene, and I thought it was suspicious, so I checked it carefully and found a ball of burnt kerosene on the ground. I think that was the cause of the fierce fire."
Lu Youping's chest was shaken, and he looked at Manager Du in disbelief: "So you mean, maybe someone set the fire on purpose?"
Who is so bold as to set fire in the mansion? He deserves to die.
Chief Steward Du nodded and said, "Later, I questioned the servants who were patrolling the mansion tonight. One of them said that he saw someone sneaking around nearby. Just as he was about to approach to ask, he saw the figure running away. They immediately chased after him, but before they caught up with him, they heard the news that the north courtyard was on fire."
"Where is that man? Has he been caught?" Lu Youping asked.
"No."
This was probably a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. There might have been two people who set the fire, one to lead the people around away, and the other to go into the north yard and set the fire.
Lu Xiang stared in fear, looking at the old lady and Lu Youping with lingering fear: "This is clearly a premeditated assassination. I don't know what kind of deep hatred he has for Fourth Sister that he is so cruel as to set her on fire to death."
Lu Youping's eagle-like eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he shouted sternly: "Investigate, investigate carefully. Since it was arson, I don't believe that there will be no clues. Even if you have to turn the North Courtyard upside down, you have to find the murderer for me."
The moment Liu came to her senses, she heard these words and rushed out of the inner room like a madman, her eyes glowing with a faint green light as if in the darkness: "Master, what you said is true, was the fire in the North Courtyard man-made, not an accident? Did someone want to burn Mingzhu to death on purpose?"
"Calm down first. I have people investigating the truth of the matter. If it is really a man-made murder, we must catch the murderer and seek justice for Mingzhu." Lu Youping looked at Liu with heartache, patted her back and comforted her softly.
Liu gritted her teeth, and flames burst out from her eyes.
