Chapter 28 Wash your neck and wait
Seeing Lu Xiang's ashen face, Lu Mingzhu's sneer grew even stronger. She looked to the side and said, "Look, sister, this charcoal basin was brought to me by Brother Heng. The oil in the pot is boiling hot. Brother Heng said that if you kill my child, he will make you live a life worse than death. The taste of this hot oil in your mouth must be very special. Sister, you must taste it carefully and then tell me, how about that?"
Lu Xiang looked at the oil pan in front of him in horror and struggled non-stop, thinking, "Lu Mingzhu is a madman."
"Lu Mingzhu, you dare... Father will never let you go if he finds out. I am the legitimate daughter of the Yongping Marquis's Mansion. How dare Xiao Muheng kill me? How dare he?"
She screamed madly, terrified to the extreme, and her chest was filled with intense hatred. Even though she was imprisoned here, Lu Xiang never thought that Xiao Muheng would take her life.
This is the man she has loved since she was young, the husband she treats wholeheartedly.
Lu Mingzhu seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed even harder: "So what? You are narrow-minded, vicious and mean, and your reputation of harming your husband and offspring has long been stinking throughout the capital. How could my father go against Brother Heng, the prince's tutor, for you? After you die, I will be the only legitimate daughter of the Lu family, and I will be the legitimate mistress of the Xiao family in the future. Brother Heng said that he has waited too long for this day. If you were not useful, why would he have to play the love drama in front of you for so many years, and I have to be a concubine, but these are not important anymore."
"My mother had her eyes on the Xiao family's wealth, so when Brother Heng approached her, she decisively introduced him to me. Brother Heng originally wanted to marry me, but how could a mere businessman be worthy of my status as the prefect's legitimate daughter? But I never expected that since you and Brother Heng got engaged, his business has grown bigger and bigger, and his career has become smoother and smoother, until he was promoted to the first-rank prince's tutor. How could I not hold on to such an outstanding man? What's more, he has feelings for me, so as long as I show the slightest interest in him, he will be madly infatuated with me. When I commit myself to him, Brother Heng is even more impatient to make you disappear so that he can make way for me."
Lu Xiang felt a sweet and fishy feeling in his throat, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Bitch...bitch..."
"Hahahahahahaha...you can curse all you want, but it won't change your lowly status of being crushed into the mud and struggling to survive by me. I will remove all the obstacles that stand in the way of me and my mother. If the old woman doesn't like us mother and daughter, then go die. You occupy the position of Madam Xiao, so you can only die too." A twisted viciousness appeared on Lu Mingzhu's delicate face.
"Did you kill my grandmother?" Lu Xiang's chest suddenly tightened, as if struck by lightning, and his internal organs were twisted together in excruciating pain.
"That's right. By the way, I'll let you die with a clear conscience. Your maid Yunzhe did not betray you."
Lu Mingzhu's words were like countless silver needles piercing Lu Xiang's heart, causing him excruciating pain.
Yunzha did not betray her.
But what did she do? She personally executed Yun Zha, who was loyal to her, and all this was a conspiracy and trap set by Lu Mingzhu.
puff……
Lu Xiang only felt a fishy taste in her throat, and she vomited blood in great pain.
And my grandmother—
Blood spurted out and stained Lu Mingzhu's skirt, making her so angry that she immediately turned her eyes cold and moved away from Lu Xiang.
"Come here, follow the master's instructions and give this vicious woman the boiling oil and water to drink."
Lu Mingzhu raised her slender jade hand lightly and gave the order in a cold voice, her pretty face full of cruelty, like a ghost.
Lu Xiang shook his head in horror and looked at Lu Mingzhu with pleading eyes.
"No, no, no..."
The boiling hot oil poured into her mouth, causing her voice to stop abruptly. The burning sensation instantly made Lu Xiang feel heart-wrenching pain, and her body spasmed in pain.
Lu Xiang couldn't utter a word. His pleading eyes instantly turned into infinite hatred as he rushed towards Lu Mingzhu. His eyes were bloodshot, like a demon about to crawl out of hell.
"Lu Xiang, just feel the pain of living a life worse than death." Lu Mingzhu was stared at by her devilish cold eyes. She felt terrified and didn't want to stay any longer. So she left in a hurry without looking back...
Lu Xiang's heart was filled with hatred to the extreme, her eyes were crazy, but the pain and despair destroyed her bit by bit.
"ah……"
Lu Xiang screamed and suddenly woke up from his dream, gasping for breath.
After a long time, she got out of bed barefoot and poured herself a cup of tea with trembling hands. The tea, which had already gone cold, instantly froze her. It turned out that she had been soaked in sweat all over her body without her knowing.
It started to drizzle outside the house. The sound of the raindrops sounded so beautiful and pleasant to Lu Xiang's ears, because it proved that he was truly alive at this moment, and the pain he had suffered was a thing of the past life.
Xiao Muheng, you bullied me, humiliated me, and ruined me in your last life. In this life, you better clean your neck and wait...
There was thunder after every spring rain. After half a month of continuous rain, the weather finally cleared up.
In the lotus courtyard, clusters of flowers are in full bloom, the branches sway in the wind, and the sunlight shines on the cicada-wing window screens, casting dots of light and shadow.
Every piece of furnishings in the house was carefully selected by Lu Youping according to Liu's preferences, and his love for her was evident everywhere.
"Mother——" Lu Mingzhu's beautiful figure appeared in front of Liu.
Liu said, "Let's change the name. We can't let the old lady catch us making mistakes again."
Lu Mingzhu snorted angrily: "I know, mother... aunt."
Luo Chun smiled and said, "There's no one else in this room, it's okay if Fourth Miss calls out, just be careful when you go out."
"Is there something wrong that made mother send someone to call me here?" Lu Mingzhu asked.
Upon hearing this, Liu smiled particularly brightly and winked at Luochun. Luochun understood and immediately turned around and walked into the inner room.
Lu Mingzhu looked at Liu suspiciously, not understanding why she was smiling so mysteriously.
Soon, Luo Chun came out, holding a pearwood box in his hands. The box was about two feet long and one foot wide.
"Mom, what is this?"
Lu Mingzhu looked at the box on the table and asked in confusion.
Liu curled her lips, raised her hand and opened it.
Lu Mingzhu's mouth suddenly opened as wide as it could, almost enough to fit an egg.
In front of me is a box full of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Mom, where did you get these?" She pointed at the box in front of her in surprise and screamed, with greed in her eyes.
"Do you remember Mr. Xiao who came last night?"
"Yeah." Lu Mingzhu looked through the jewelry in the box and nodded in reply, her heart and eyes filled with the things in front of her.
She thought that what her father gave her were good things, but compared with what was in this box, they were nothing.
Women all love jewelry. Lu Mingzhu looked at this and then that, and found that every piece was so exquisite that she couldn't put it down.
