He laughed sadly, but didn't rush to arrest Jun Shi.
Upon hearing his words, Madam Jun froze, her pupils dilated, her hands clenched into fists, and she bit her lip as she involuntarily looked at Granny Wu.
"Oh, sir! Where have you heard these rumors to slander Madam like this? Madam has sacrificed everything for this family! If Madam were truly such a heartless person, why hasn't she given you a son or daughter all these years? Isn't it so that she can devote herself wholeheartedly to Miss?" Granny Wu hurriedly explained, her words reasonable and well-founded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengzhi laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face. "Ask her why she hasn't gotten pregnant all these years. Is it really because of Qing'er?"
Lu Wanqing caught up at this moment and looked at Jun Shi in surprise when she heard this.
How many things has this woman, whom they've called "Mother" for so many years, been hiding from them?
These past few days, Lu Shengzhi has been secretly investigating what happened back then, and Lu Wanqing has been watching the whole process. At first, they did not suspect Jun Shi because, on the surface, Jun Shi had nothing to do with this matter.
Back then, Jun was just a cousin living in the Lu family. She had a very good relationship with Dan Niang and often teased Lu Shengzhi about how good Lu Shengzhi and Dan Niang were.
Later, she took the initiative to approach Lu Shengzhi, saying that she was willing to help take care of Lu Wanqing, who had died, because she did not want Lu Wanqing to be hurt by other women whose backgrounds she did not know. Lu Shengzhi, considering her relationship with Danniang and the fact that Lu Wanqing did not allow anyone else to accompany her except for Junshi, married Junshi as his second wife.
Who would have thought that Dan Niang's death was actually orchestrated by the Jun family?
Thinking of the evidence that the people from Shunfenglou had thrown at Lu Shengzhi, Lu Wanqing couldn't look at the Jun family calmly.
"Why? Aunt Jun, why did you make my mother misunderstand? Do you know that it's because of you that she misunderstood that you and my father were having an ambiguous relationship? That's why my mother didn't dare bring my brother home after he was born, and he's been staying in Dingshui Village for so many years!" As Lu Wanqing spoke, tears streamed down her face.
She looked at Madam Jun and choked up, saying, "I still remember how meticulously you took care of me when I was little. You and my mother would chat and laugh together, but every time you left, my mother would stare blankly out the window..."
In fact, her memories of her childhood are very vague, and because of her longing for her mother, she subconsciously resists thinking about her childhood.
But these past few days, she's thought about it carefully. Back then, her mother's back view was always sad. But at the time, she didn't understand any of that. She just thought it was lively when Junshi came, and she liked playing with Junshi.
If it really was Jun who harmed her mother, wouldn't she also be an accomplice?
Lu Shengzhi also thought of the evidence that Shunfenglou had found, as well as the confession of a servant who had narrowly escaped Wu Mama's punishment back then.
He suddenly stared intently at Jun Shi, gritting his teeth as he said, "Why? Jun Shi, why did you treat Dan Niang like that? She treated you like her own sister!"
Jun opened her mouth, wanting to say something in her defense, but Lu Sheng's next words forced her to swallow all her excuses.
“You don’t need to think about how to exonerate yourself. Since I’ve come to you, it means I already have enough evidence. Huan’er, do you remember her? The maid who took care of you back then, she later died of a cold, but she’s still alive. If you don’t acknowledge these things, I can make her confront you face to face.”
Lu Shengzhi's words struck Jun Shi like a blow to the head, leaving her completely stunned.
Granny Wu, however, refused to accept her fate and hurriedly said, "Master, you must have been deceived! Huan'er was buried by my own hands back then, how could she still be alive?"
"You insolent servant!" Lu Shengzhi suddenly pointed at Granny Wu. "You still dare to talk back? Huan'er was poisoned to death by you! But she was lucky enough to survive, she wasn't completely dead, and someone found her and rescued her. Don't try to deny it anymore!"
He had already met Huan'er, but Huan'er was afraid of Madam Jun and Granny Wu, and begged him not to confront Madam Jun unless absolutely necessary.
Granny Wu felt her scalp tingle under his terrifying gaze. She instinctively avoided his eyes, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.
Of all the things concerning the Jun family, only Huan'er knows the most clearly. If Huan'er hadn't died, then it would make sense that Lu Shengzhi would have known everything.
Upon hearing this, Lady Jun realized that she could not escape today.
"Heh...heh..." Madam Jun suddenly chuckled coldly, the laughter somewhat eerie. "You all ask me why? Why don't you guess?"
Lu Shengzhi and Lu Wanqing both looked at her, but neither of them spoke at this moment.
Judging from Jun's expression, she already seemed somewhat insane.
Lady Jun laughed for a while longer before looking at Lu Shengzhi and saying, "Husband, it's you! It's all because of you! Hahaha..."
Her laughter stopped abruptly, and she glared at Lu Shengzhi with resentment. "When my parents were alive, they clearly mentioned our marriage to your father. He said he would consider it, but not long after, my parents died, and you married Zhao Danniang instead!"
"I hate it! Why won't you marry me even though I've lost my parents? Did you think taking me into the Lu family to take care of me would be enough? No! I love you! I've loved you for so many years! I always thought I would be your bride, but you married someone else!"
"Zhao Danniang has no parents, she has nothing, yet you treat her like a precious jewel! We grew up together, yet you ignore me! Why? Why?"
"Hehe... I once thought about taking a step back and sharing a husband with Zhao Danniang, but when I tentatively asked her, she flatly refused! She said that if you have another woman, she will leave you immediately!"
"I knew you would never give her up for me, so I painstakingly created countless coincidences, making her think that you and I were having an ambiguous relationship... I succeeded."
