First Grade Delicate Wife - C19
Chapter 19 – The Past Years
Lu Ruoqing continued: “If this guess is true, Lu Zhenger is aunt’s biological daughter!”
Her eyes flickered, “Then …” “My aunt usually protects her, but today she protected her with her life. In fact, she was so angry that she even wanted to strangle me to death, this makes sense.”
“This …” “That can’t be.” Mrs. Gu’s mind was in a mess.
“In the past when Aunt Wang was giving birth, was there anything wrong with it?” Lu Ruoqing asked.
“Back then ….”
Mrs. Gu’s eyes flickered. She thought back to the past and her expression changed even more. “Actually, seriously speaking, the Lu family has never seen Aunt Wang.”
“No one has seen it before?!” This time, it was Lu Ruoqing who was shocked.
“Yes.” The Mrs. Gu nodded, then said: “At that time, I was still young and healthy, and had a good relationship with your father.”
A layer of sadness appeared in her eyes.
“One day, your father suddenly returned with a child in his arms.”
“He said that he had this child after a night of debauchery, but the mother of the child died in childbirth, so she brought it back to raise.”
“Thus, Aunt Wang never entered the Lu family’s residence, so no one has ever seen her.”
“So it’s like that.” Lu Ruoqing’s heart became heavier.
“Sigh …” The Mrs. Gu sighed, “For this matter, I even had some conflict with your father.”
She recalled the past.
“Later on, I thought that Aunt Wang was already dead, so why should I bother with a dead man?”
“What’s more, Zheng Er is just a concubinage. However, giving her some dowry would mean that she won’t be distributing her wealth to her family in the future. There’s no need for her to be angry anymore.”
“Later on, Aunt adopted Lu Zhenger.” Lu Ruoqing answered.
“Yeah.” The Mrs. Gu nodded her head, “Lu Zhenger doesn’t need my support nor my discipline. I can’t even see her a few times a year, so I don’t really care about her at all.”
“Then, was there anything wrong with aunty at that time?!”
Lu Ruoqing immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
“Your aunt …”
Mrs. Gu pondered for a moment and slowly recalled her words.
“At that time, she had already returned home as a widow. Maybe it was because she was in a bad mood and got so sick that she hid in the house and didn’t want to come out. I’ve never seen her before. ”
“How long have you been ill?”
“Nearly a year?” After Mrs. Gu said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, “Could it be, your aunt is actually not sick at all, but … “She’s pregnant!”
“It’s very possible!”
“This …” This is ridiculous. ”
“I was wrong a moment ago.”
Lu Ruoqing analyzed: “Based on this situation, it is possible that Madame Wang back then was a fake person who did not exist! There’s no such thing as changing the pillars secretly, there’s only Chen Cang! ”
Mrs. Gu also understood now.
“You mean, there’s no such person as Aunt Wang at all!”
She said in shock: “It’s your aunt who is pregnant. She pretended to be sick for more than a year, and then she gave birth to Lu Zhenger.
“Right, that’s more or less the case!”
“Yes.” The Mrs. Gu suddenly nodded lightly.
“At that time, your father and I were very young, and we had a good relationship. It was indeed the first few years that we were stuck together that he shouldn’t have gone out to have fun.”
Lu Ruoqing frowned: “What a pity, all of this is just our speculation. “Let’s not talk about guessing wrong. Even if we did, we don’t have any evidence.”
“Your father should know about this!”
“Mother.” Lu Ruoqing laughed helplessly.
“If your guess is wrong, and you suspect that your aunt has a private child for no reason, how can father not feel sorry for his sister and be angry at you?”
“If my guess is correct, then I’ve hidden it for my aunt all those years ago. How would I tell you now that I’ve ruined your reputation?”
A trace of sadness flashed past Mrs. Gu’s eyes, “Yes, asking your father is useless.”
Lu Ruoqing smiled and said: “I will think of a way to investigate this matter, Mother … Don’t let your thoughts run wild for now. Your body is weak, and it’s important for you to take care of yourself properly.
“Mom, don’t say that.”
Lu Ruoqing held his mother’s hand tightly and said gently: “Your health is not good, this is not your fault.”
She tried to dissuade him, “If you have to sigh like this, it will be useless to nurture your body and your emotions. Why? “You should be more at ease from now on and take good care of yourself.”
Mrs. Gu was startled when she heard it, and then the eye ring slowly turned red, “Ruoqing, Mother … Mother is not as good as you living a full life. ”
Lu Ruoqing thought, she was someone who had lived for two lifetimes, how could it be the same? Not many people could match the hardships and hardships that she had gone through, even though she had been deceitful and deceitful.
Mrs. Gu wiped the corners of his eyes and said sternly: “Mother promises you, I won’t sigh like this anymore. If I want to live, I must live well!”
“Mother …” I can’t let you become motherless children!
She gritted her teeth and said, “Who dares to hurt you. Mother will also risk her life to protect you!”
The mother and daughter duo chatted passionately.
Seeing that the time was not early, Lu Ruoqing told her mother to go back and rest, since she was also a bit exhausted.
Outside the window, the moonlight shone brightly.
In the darkness of the night, everything was quiet and peaceful.
Lu Ruoqing was about to fall asleep. In her mind, the chaos of the day slowly faded.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a cold breeze blowing in. She opened her eyes in fright. She stood up and surveyed her surroundings, but did not find anything wrong.
Lu Ruoqing heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like too many things had happened today, making her feel suspicious.
Just as she was about to relax and lie down to continue sleeping, a black figure suddenly charged towards her with a speed as fast as lightning!
Before she could even make a sound, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head, followed by the feeling of being unable to move.
“It’s me, don’t shout!” In the darkness, Xiao Shaoxuan’s voice suddenly sounded out.
Lu Ruoqing’s eyes widened, looking at the man in front of him, she couldn’t help but to grind her teeth.
She scolded in a low voice, “Are you crazy? “Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?”
“To see if you’re dead or not.”
“…”
In the darkness of the night, Xiao Shaoxuan’s handsome face revealed a trace of enchantment, “If you die, what about my antidote?”
Lu Ruoqing asked angrily: Who said I’m dead?
Xiao Shaoxuan’s thin lips pursed, and did not answer.
Lu Ruoqing suddenly realized.
The one who tried to assassinate the King Huan was him! He knew that she had been struck by an arrow, but he did not know if she was alive or dead, so he came to investigate.
Lu Ruoqing taunted: “To actually send people to assassinate His Majesty King Huan, you have guts!”
Xiao Shaoxuan did not hold back, and immediately ridiculed her: “For being a woman of King Huan, you actually do not even care about your own life.”
Lu Ruoqing frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xiao Shaoxuan looked at her carefully, “It looks like you won’t die.”
With a sudden change in tone, he said, “That’s true! If I die before even entering the King Huan’s Estate, wouldn’t I be losing? Presumably, you are also unwilling to die. ”
“…” Lu Ruoqing choked in anger.
She and Xiao Shaoxuan must be enemies by nature, right? When they saw each other, they would start to speak ill of each other.
Xiao Shaoxuan sneered, “Seems like my words hit the mark, I have nothing to say.”
“Are you full?!”
Lu Ruoqing could not take it anymore, she glared at him and said: “Whatever I do, it has nothing to do with you, do you have to be so against me everywhere?”
Xiao Shaoxuan pursed his lips.
He also knew that it wasn’t appropriate to argue with a woman, but when he saw her, he couldn’t help but feel infuriated!
He calmed himself down and then said, “Give me the formula for the antidote, and I won’t be looking for you ever again.”
“Hur hur.” Lu Ruoqing sneered, “Of course you won’t look for me anymore.”
“You don’t want to?”
“I’ve gone mad, that’s why I gave you the formula for the antidote!”
Lu Ruoqing knew that he was unable to open the prescription, so she was not anxious at all.
“If you have the formula, then I …” “He should be a dead man by now.”
Xiao Shaoxuan said with a dark expression: “How long are you planning to force me?!”
“Who asked you to kill people so easily.”
Lu Ruoqing did not back down in the slightest, and said calmly: “I said this before, I will prepare the antidote for you every month. We will not disturb each other, and we will get to know each other well.”
“You’re threatening me for the rest of your life!”
“I just want to live a few more days.”
“…”
The two of them were in a deadlock, and neither could convince the other.
After a long while, Lu Ruoqing could not hold it in any longer.
“Hurry up and go! This is my boudoir. You, as a man, are staying here. If others find out, wouldn’t it ruin my reputation? Next time, find a girl and ask me for some medicine. ”
Xiao Shaoxuan sneered, “What does it have to do with me to ruin your reputation?”
Lu Ruoqing, “…”
If she could, she really wanted to strangle Xiao Shaoxuan to death.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t.
Lu Ruoqing was very clear about the dangers of Xiao Shaoxuan. In the future, who knew how many lives the King Zhenbei, who could rule over a huge army of three hundred thousand, would have! “She …” They couldn’t afford to offend him.
Actually, he had thought about poisoning the antidote as well.
But if she did that, and poisoned Xiao Shaoxuan, the entire Lu Family would be annihilated along with her!
She did not care about her grandmother, nor did she care about Yun Lu and Lu Zhenger, much less her cold father.
Thus, she and Xiao Shaoxuan fell into a trap.
She wanted to kill him, so she couldn’t kill him either. She offended Xiao Shaoxuan so he had no choice but to hold onto the antidote.
Then in the future, Xiao Shaoxuan would bear it again and again, and look for her again and again. It really gave him a headache just thinking about it.
“Give me the antidote for next month.” Xiao Shaoxuan said in a low voice.
“You …” Xiao Shaoxuan was furious. Just as he was about to say something, footsteps came from outside.
“Don’t talk!” Lu Ruoqing said in a low voice.
“Miss? Is the wound very painful? ” The aroma of medicine drifted in through the door.
“I heard you talking, so I didn’t hear you clearly. Do you want some water?”
“NO!” “No need.” Lu Ruoqing hurriedly refused.
“Then should I change the medicine?” The aroma of medicine asked.
“No ….” “No need.”
Lu Ruoqing had never been this nervous before.
Because … Xiao Shaoxuan was right beside her, hidden under the blanket, and the two of them were practically sticking closely together.
This was too much of a torment.
