Chapter 110 Old Master Lu Passed Away
Yan Ye asked worriedly, "Xiu Yuan, what happened? Also, aren't you waiting for Qian Yu? She might be here soon."
"Qianyu probably can't come. My grandfather passed away, and I have to go back immediately. I guess Qianyu has already gone there."
Has Grandpa Lu passed away?
Old Master Lu's health has always been poor, and it's been so long that no one even knows when it happened.
Seeing how anxious Lu Xiuyuan was, it must be true.
"Then here..."
"I'll stay here for now. I'll take care of things over there, and then I'll propose to her."
Yan Ye thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Since Grandpa Lu had passed away, he had to go and see him, so he followed behind and got into the car.
We arrived at the Lu family's old residence.
Because of the passing of Mr. Lu, countless people are deeply saddened, and families are making preparations everywhere, including setting up a mourning hall.
The Lu family holds grand ceremonies for both weddings and funerals, and they have their own set of customs.
Lu Xiuyuan strode into the mourning hall and saw that Old Master Lu was lying there motionless with a pale face. He immediately knelt down.
"Grandpa, your unfilial grandson is late."
The Lu family members were all dressed in mourning clothes and were crying.
Lin Weixia was pregnant, so it was inconvenient for her to attend such occasions, which also prevented her from being discovered.
After all, Lin Weixia knew very well that Lu Xiuyuan liked Shen Qianyu.
During this time, Lu Xiuyuan had clearly realized this problem and was going to propose to Shen Qianyu.
She really didn't want them to continue. If Shen Qianyu was going to leave, then there would be no possibility for them to be together again.
She silently said to Grandpa Lu in her heart: Grandpa Lu, don't blame me. Anyway, you only have a few days left to live. Being able to benefit us is a good deed for you.
Tang Ning cried very hard. Although he wasn't her biological father, she was Lu Xiuyuan's father and still had a deep affection for him.
Grandpa Lu wasn't the rigid type of man; he was good at being tolerant of others. Naturally, she was saddened by his death.
Many people came to pay their respects.
Lu Xiuyuan needed to change his clothes, and Tang Ning came to his side. Seeing that there was no one around, she spoke up:
Your grandfather did not die a natural death.
Lu Xiuyuan paused in his dressing.
“It was Shen Qianyu. Weiwei saw with her own eyes that Shen Qianyu smothered your grandfather with a pillow. She has already escaped.”
After Lu Xiuyuan arrived, he also began searching for Shen Qianyu.
He didn't see Shen Qianyu. He thought that Shen Jiacheng and Fang Hui also knew about it. He subconsciously looked for the two of them, but he didn't see them either.
"Mom, what are you saying? Qianyu would never do such a thing."
Tang Ning was a little angry, but she still patiently said, "Would I lie to you? We were all outside at the time, she was inside, Weiwei was inside, and there were a few other people. Your grandfather said a few words to her, and she was not satisfied, so she hit your grandfather. Weiwei saw it with her own eyes. Do you think she would lie?"
Lu Xiuyuan thought about it carefully: "No, I don't believe Qianyu would do such a thing."
Tang Ning was absolutely furious with him: "This is no joke, it's murder! You saw your grandfather's facial expression, it's not like a normal death."
"Chiyu has no reason to do this."
"That's your opinion. If she didn't do that, why isn't she answering her phone and keeps sending us messages? Doesn't she have something to hide?"
Lu Xiuyuan still didn't believe it. He picked up his phone and called Shen Qianyu again, but no one answered.
"See? That's it. We all called her, but she wouldn't answer. We've already taken her parents into custody. If we can't catch Shen Qianyu, someone has to take responsibility for this."
Lu Xiuyuan frowned.
He knew very well how good Shen Qianyu was to his family.
Later, he had a falling out with Tang Ning, but it didn't escalate to the point of killing her.
Shen Qianyu couldn't possibly have killed anyone.
But Tang Ning said that Lin Weixia saw it with her own eyes.
Why would Lin Weixia fabricate a lie? What benefit would it bring her?
Lu Xiuyuan originally wanted to go and ask Lin Weixia about the situation, but a lot of people had come outside, and they needed to receive them.
It wasn't until evening that Lu Xiuyuan finally found an opportunity to go to Lin Weixia's room.
There were servants guarding outside. When they saw him, they immediately said, "Young Master, the young mistress is feeling very guilty. She said she didn't protect Old Master Lu well. Madam came to see her before and told her not to cry, but she can't get over it and keeps crying. If this continues, it will affect the baby in her belly. You should try to persuade her."
Lu Xiuyuan hummed in agreement.
He glanced inside and saw that the person had their back to him.
Is she asleep?
"She probably can't sleep. She'll be so happy if she knew you were coming to see her."
Lu Xiuyuan told the maid and then went inside.
Lin Weixia heard the footsteps but didn't turn her head.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, you can go back now."
Her voice was hoarse, clearly indicating that she had been crying for a long time.
Lu Xiuyuan walked up to her and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her brows were furrowed.
"You're carrying our child, so you need to be careful."
Lin Weixia sat up and hugged Lu Xiuyuan tightly.
She cried even harder: "I can't do it, I can't do it. I saw it all clearly at the time. I tried to stop her, I tried my best, but Shen Qianyu hates our Lu family so much. She insisted on smothering Grandpa to death. She even said that if I came back, she would smother me. I have a child in my belly, I can't die. It's all my fault. If I could have been more open-minded, would Grandpa have survived?"
Lin Weixia's body was still trembling violently, as if she had been frightened by what had happened.
Lu Xiuyuan simply refused to believe it.
I've known Shen Qianyu for a long time; I've known her since the time of the naked doll incident. I always felt that Shen Qianyu would never do such a thing.
But if she didn't do it, why would Lin Weixia react this way?
"Alright, Grandpa's lifespan was meant to end here anyway, don't be sad."
Lin Weixia shook her head desperately: "No, you could have seen him one last time. It's all my fault. I didn't protect Grandpa. Waaah..."
That self-blame was so painful to see.
Lu Xiuyuan was also heartbroken. His grandfather was kind to everyone and never showed favoritism, but in the end, he died without even saying a word.
After thinking it over, Lu Xiuyuan still held Lin Weixia down and looked at her carefully.
"Are you sure it really was Shen Qianyu who did it?"
Lin Weixia found it hard to believe that even at a time like this, Lu Xiuyuan still believed in Shen Qianyu.
However, she wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
She nodded. "I swear on our children, if she didn't kill them, we'll never have our children."
