Chapter 81 Ending
After Liu finished speaking, she thought that Furong might not hide Lu Yue's earring on her body, so she said, "If you can't find it, torture her severely. I don't believe her mouth can be stronger than the torture instruments."
Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Yue with hostility and gritted her teeth and said, "The fact that Lu Yue's earrings were found in the North Courtyard, plus Xia Qing as a witness, is enough to prove that Lu Yue was the one who set the fire. There's no need to waste time on a maid."
Humph, if you dare to slander Xiangxiang, don't blame her for taking advantage of your misfortune.
Liu thought so too, so she turned to Lu Youping and cried, "Master, Lu Yue is so cruel, you must seek justice for Mingzhu and punish the murderer. Wuwuwu, Mingzhu's face is ruined. What will she do for the rest of her life? What should she do?"
"Don't get excited. The doctors in Yangning City are unable to cure Mingzhu's injury. When we enter Beijing, I will definitely invite the best doctor for her. If that doesn't work, there is still Concubine Zhen. The Concubine loves Mingzhu so much, she will definitely be willing to invite an imperial physician for her." Lu Youping said softly.
Mingzhu's disfigurement not only saddened Liu, he also felt distressed and regretful.
Although he was disappointed that Mingzhu insisted on marrying Xiao Muheng, she was his daughter whom he had loved for many years. Now she was valued by Concubine Shu and loved by Concubine Zhen. He saw that she had a bright future and would be very successful. If her face was disfigured, it would undoubtedly cut off her idea of marrying into a noble family in the future.
Lu Youping was looking forward to going to Beijing and finding a way to cancel the engagement with Xiao Muheng and marry Lu Mingzhu into a wealthy family to gain benefits. Suddenly, a fire almost burned everyone to death. He was angry and hated Lu Yue, the culprit.
"No, Yue'er was with me at night. She didn't set the fire. Xia Qing is a traitor. Her words are not true. Please investigate it clearly, sir." Aunt Fang kowtowed and testified for her daughter in panic to prove her innocence.
Lu Xiang glanced at Aunt Fang with a gloomy look: "Every word Aunt Fang said means that Xia Qing was bribed by me. Since Xia Qing's words are not credible, you really have to ask Furong. You can't just throw the dirty water on me... Fifth sister is so vicious at such a young age. It seems that Aunt Fang has taught her a lot behind the scenes. I don't know if the arson this time was instigated by Aunt Fang..."
Qiao Jingru said: "Aunt Fang would do anything for her daughter. So your daughter is wronged and Xiangxiang deserves to be slandered." This mother and daughter are so shameless. It would be fine if they just didn't admit what they did, but they actually came one by one to frame Xiangxiang.
You are the only one who can slander, and so can I.
It depends on whether you, Aunt Fang, can get out of this muddy water cleanly.
"Lu Xiang, you farted..." Aunt Fang screamed and almost fainted from anger.
Ah Man picked up Xia Qing like an old hen protecting her cubs, and glared at her with her beautiful eyes: "Third Miss, I have plenty of ways to interrogate you, leave them to me."
Furong struggled in fear: "No...no...I didn't...it wasn't me..."
Suddenly, with a tinkling sound, something fell from Furong's body.
Xia Qing was sharp-eyed and immediately exclaimed, "Look, those are the fifth lady's earrings." But in her heart she secretly admired the third lady's methods.
This step-by-step calculation is much more clever than that of the Fifth Miss.
The earrings that the Third Miss gave her were just a trick to deceive the Fifth Miss. This afternoon, Ah Man brought the Fifth Miss' earrings and asked her to take action in the evening.
At night, when Ah Man set a fire, she calculated the time and jumped into the pond. The third young lady said that if she wanted to get out of this matter safely, she had to suffer some pain.
It's just a flood, it's nothing compared to death.
Then when she wakes up, she will expose the Fifth Miss's crime, and Ah Man will take the opportunity to make the Fifth Miss's other earring fall out of Furong's body. Step by step, the Fifth Miss will never be able to turn over.
"Bitch, give me back my daughter's face, give me back my daughter's face." When Liu saw the earring, a string in her mind suddenly broke. She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at her.
Aunt Fang was startled and quickly stood in front of Lu Yue. The teacup instantly smashed a hole in her forehead.
There was an infinite chill on the old lady's cold face.
Lu Youping said in a cold and solemn voice: "Come here, Miss Fifth committed a heinous crime of arson. She shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and sent to a nunnery to shave her head and become a nun from now on to pay for her sins today. From now on, there will be no Miss Fifth in the Lu family."
"Furong died in battle."
"The daughter of the Fang family has brought shame to the Lu family. This is a heinous crime. I grant you the white silk to end your life on your own."
When Lu Yue heard Lu Youping's words, her face changed drastically with fear. Her heart, which had been hanging high in the air, slammed heavily onto the ground. Her body shook violently, and her frightened face suddenly turned blank: "Dad, it wasn't me, it wasn't me who set the fire, grandma, please check it out... I really didn't set the fire..."
She cried and kowtowed, her young face full of fear. The earring that fell from Furong was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The bitch Xia Qing betrayed her, or maybe Lu Xiang was involved in this, but at this time Lu Yue no longer had the extra thought and ability to prove that it was Lu Xiang who instructed Xia Qing to do all this.
If she had not been jealous and asked Xia Qing to set fire to Lu Mingzhu, she would not have ended up like this.
What Lu Yue didn't know was that if she hadn't asked Xia Qing to frame Lu Xiang, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable way.
Well, she didn't. She just instigated Xia Qing to set the fire, preferably to burn Lu Mingzhu to death, and then put the blame on Lu Xiang to kill two birds with one stone.
Lu Youping and the old lady were unmoved when they heard this.
Aunt Fang collapsed: "Master, Master, you can't do this. She said she didn't set the fire. Why don't you believe her? Yue'er is also your daughter. I have been in the mansion for more than ten years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Master..."
Aunt Fang's shrill screams were particularly harsh in the depressing room, but the eyes of the people looking at the mother and daughter were without a trace of sympathy.
They still don't repent at this point. Can you expect that if you forgive them this time, they will mend their ways later?
The old lady was extremely disappointed with Aunt Fang and her daughter. It was okay for Aunt Fang to just make minor noises in the past, but this time she actually allowed her daughter to murder her sisters. This was simply intolerable.
How could Fang herself be any better after handing over such a cruel daughter?
Sparing Lu Yue's life and letting her become a nun was already the most benevolent thing to do considering that she was of the Lu family's bloodline. As for Aunt Fang, even if her son couldn't bear to punish her severely, the old lady had made up her mind not to spare Aunt Fang's life.
"Someone, drag them all out." Lu Youping's cold voice was like a sharp awl, piercing Aunt Fang's heart fiercely. With a slight scratch, the flesh and blood were blurred.
As soon as those words fell, the old women and maids in the room rushed forward and pulled Aunt Fang, Lu Yue and Furong out.
The three of them struggled, roared, and begged... It seemed particularly desolate in this silent night.
