Chapter 56: Being Deceived by Her
Chu Yian lowered his voice and asked word by word, "What virtue and ability do you have to make the emperor issue an imperial decree for your divorce?"
Having lived two lives, Lu Zhiran knew Chu Yian very well. At this moment, his face was distorted and his eyes were sinister. He looked at her with disgust and resentment, as if she had brought him great humiliation.
Looking at Zhao Shuning again, she also had a look of contempt and disgust.
A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly understood what they hadn't expressed, and a chill instantly ran through her heart.
Her eyes were dark and her tone was as cold as if it were mixed with ice.
"I am innocent and have no regrets. I won't tolerate your wanton speculation!"
"If you really have no regrets, why do you have to hide it all the time?"
Lu Yingxi stood aside, her eyes moving back and forth between them, many thoughts flashing through her mind.
She also couldn't understand why the emperor would issue a divorce decree to Lu Zhiran?
If the emperor's edict was so easy to obtain, wouldn't everyone go to the emperor to ask for his order?
What bargaining chips does Lu Zhiran have?
With a turn of her eyes, Lu Yingxi continued, "Sister, you might as well speak out and clear up everyone's misunderstandings. Everything will be fine once it's all said out."
Lu Zhiran glanced at her indifferently and met her simple and innocent face.
"I will tell you what I should tell you when I need to. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
Having hit a snag, Lu Yingxi's expression froze slightly.
Zhao Shuning: "You don't want to say it, or you don't dare to say it?"
Lu Zhiran's eyes were sharp. "I dare to say it now, do you dare to listen?"
Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning's expressions changed slightly and they were speechless for a moment.
She dares to speak, but do they dare to listen?
I dare not!
This is a scandal concerning the emperor. If it is really exposed, they will not be able to stay out of it.
He repeatedly provoked Lu Zhiran, but it was only because he was angry and couldn't get rid of the anger.
Seeing that they were cowed, Lu Zhiran sneered, "Since you don't dare, then stop jumping around in front of me like a clown."
Their thoughts were so dirty that Lu Zhiran wanted to just reveal her cards and slap them in the face.
But when the words came to her lips, she forced herself to hold them back.
They may not believe empty words.
Since this is the case, then we should plan carefully and let them see with their own eyes what our bargaining chips are.
Then, we'll just have to see how they react.
Really fed up with the person in front of him, Lu Zhiran didn't want to say a word and just turned around and left, ignoring Lu Yingxi beside him.
Lu Yingxi's expression changed several times.
How dare she ignore me like this! My mother was right, she had indeed changed and become more independent!
She did not chase after them, but instead gave Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning a miserable smile.
"My sister... I don't know why she suddenly became so rude and unreasonable. She was clearly not like this before..."
Neither of the two people on the opposite side spoke.
Right now, they really couldn't show any good face to the Lu family.
Lu Yingxi sighed softly, "I think it's because she introduced the Xing family to a famous doctor who cured Old Master Xing's illness. She felt she had climbed up the Xing family ladder, and that's why she became so arrogant."
These words were like a thunderclap, striking Zhao Shuning and Chu Yian's hearts hard.
Zhao Shuning raised his voice, "What did you say? She introduced the famous doctor to the Xing family and cured Old Master Xing's illness?"
Lu Yingxi seemed startled by her reaction and nodded blankly.
"Yes, yes."
Zhao Shuning didn't believe it. "How is that possible? She clearly said she didn't know about it."
When she went to confront Lu Zhiran that day, she still looked confused and at a loss.
So, it was all an act?
Lu Yingxi bit her lip helplessly, her eyes full of innocence, as if she had said something wrong.
"Then, then I guess I heard it wrong..."
The more she said this, the more Zhao Shuning was unwilling to believe it and pressed her urgently.
"What have you heard? Tell me!"
Seeing that Lu Yingxi was about to cry, Chu Yian softened his tone, "Second Miss Lu, we just want to know about this matter. We have no ill intentions. If you know anything, please tell us the truth."
Lu Yingxi then spoke weakly, "When I returned home today, I heard from my mother that my sister sold a ginseng plant to the Xing family at a low price, which saved Old Master Xing's life. She then recommended a highly skilled doctor to the Xing family, who cured Old Master Xing. As soon as my sister returned home, the Xing family sent a steward to express their gratitude. I think this story is absolutely true and cannot be false."
After Lu Yingxi finished speaking, Zhao Shuning and Chu Yian's faces had become very ugly, and a heavy pressure was hanging around them.
Good, good Lu Zhiran!
From the very beginning, they were deceived by her!
This should have been Shu Ning's credit and an opportunity for the Marquis' Mansion, but it was all snatched away by her. How hateful!
Lu Yingxi leaked the matter with an innocent look on her face and took the opportunity to leave.
Lu Zhiran has the ability to get close to the Xing family, which is naturally a good thing for her and the Lu family.
But Lu Yingxi just couldn't stand seeing her being so proud.
As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies. Doctor Zhao is a doctor, but Lu Zhiran recommended someone else to treat Old Master Xing. How could Doctor Zhao feel happy about this?
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned this, the two of them changed their expressions on the spot.
Judging from their reactions, this matter is far more hateful than they realized.
Lu Zhiran was remembered by them again.
Zhao Shuning's face was distorted with anger. She wanted to rush out and question Lu Zhiran on the spot, but was stopped by Chu Yian.
"This is not the time to pursue this."
Zhao Shuning pushed him away and said, "I just can't bear this anger!"
"Do you think I can swallow this? But now that things have come to this, what good will it do for us to argue with her? If word gets to the Xing family, we won't be in any good."
After all, Old Master Xing was indeed cured by the doctor recommended by Lu Zhiran.
For the Xing family, it doesn’t matter who cures the patient, as long as the patient is cured.
They openly questioned Lu Zhiran, accusing her of recommending others to the Xing family. Didn't they hope for Old Master Xing's death?
Even if they wanted to compete with Lu Zhiran for credit, they could only do it in private, not in public.
Zhao Shuning finally calmed down slowly, but there was still a layer of anger on his face and the hatred in his eyes was not concealed.
"She clearly did it on purpose! She deliberately helped outsiders steal my credit!"
Chu Yian's face was gloomy. "I didn't expect her to be so scheming."
"She hates me to the core, that's why she's always making things difficult for me. This time, I've been ignored by the Emperor, and I don't know when I'll be able to return to the palace to serve. She will definitely continue to target me in the future. Yi'an, are we just going to keep waiting to be beaten like this?"
Chu Yian clenched his fists until they creaked. "Of course not. All this is only temporary. We just need to be patient for now."
Zhao Shuning's face was filled with annoyance. "How long do I have to endure this? I don't want to wait even a moment longer!"
Chu Yian gently put his arm around Zhao Shuning's shoulders and said slowly, "Shuning, I'm sorry for wronging you. I promise I'll definitely help you get rid of this anger."
Zhao Shuning took a deep breath, and the strong irritation in his heart was finally slowly calmed down.
She is just a plaything for men to please with her beauty. How long can she be proud of it?
Only those who have medical skills can be considered truly capable.
As long as there is a good opportunity, this day will come soon.
