Chapter 510 - Replace Lu Liangwei
Chapter 510: Replace Lu Liangwei
From the way Father looked at Mother, it was clear that he still loved her deeply.
Lu Liangwei furrowed her brow.
No matter what, she was reluctant to believe that her father was a heartless scumbag.
In terms of appearance alone, Madam Zheng’s beauty was not even a ten-thousandth of Mother’s, not to mention her undesirable personality.
It was hard for her to believe that Father would betray Mother for Madam Zheng.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Madam Zheng gave birth to Lu Yunshuang with Father.
She rubbed her forehead in confusion.
If Father loved Mother so much, how could he bear to make her sad?
She had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. Perhaps Father touching Madam Zheng was an accident, or maybe Father had been set up?
Her eyes lit up at the thought.
Of course. Lu Yunshuang snatched Long Chi from the original host because the two had an affair.
The book did not mention that it was Lu Yunshuang’s scheme, only that the two were drugged and forced to be together.
However, she felt that it was Lu Yunshuang who had pulled a trick and drugged Long Chi.
The book had been ambiguous in this part to beautify Lu Yunshuang so that she could replace the original host as the Crown Princess without being criticized.
However, no matter how innocent Lu Yunshuang was, she was still a mistress who had stolen someone else’s man.
If the original host’s man had not been stolen, she would not have killed herself.
As Madam Zheng’s daughter, Lu Yunshuang had probably inherited her deviousness.
Lu Liangwei sneered. How detestable this mother and daughter were!
If she were to find out that Madam Zheng had indeed used obscene means to separate her parents for over a dozen years, she would definitely make her life a living hell.
She narrowed her eyes.
Zhu Yu happened to bring tea in and was shocked to see the menacing glint in her eyes. “M-Miss?”
Coming back to her senses, Lu Liangwei took the teacup from her and smiled reassuringly. “I’m fine.”
Zhu Yu patted her chest. “Your expression gave me quite a scare, Miss.”
Lu Liangwei took a sip of tea and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “You got scared just from that?”
Gripping the hem of her clothes, Zhu Yu looked bashful for a while before bowing her head and saying, “No, I just thought that you might want to punish me.”
Lu Liangwei put down her teacup. “Why would I punish you for no reason?”
Zhu Yu’s eyes suddenly reddened. “It’s my fault. If I hadn’t delivered the letter to you, you wouldn’t have gone to the medicinal shop…” Thank goodness Miss came back safely, or else even Zhu Yu’s death would not be able to atone for her mistake.
“So that’s what you meant.” Lu Liangwei came to a realization and laughed in amusement. “What does this have to do with you? And didn’t I come back in one piece?”
Zhu Yu said in a choking voice, “Thank goodness you came back, or else I would really offer my life to atone for my mistake.”
Lu Liangwei sighed. “I already said that it has nothing to do with you. Why are you making a fuss out of it? Do you want to make me miserable?”
Zhu Yu shook her head quickly. “That’s not what I meant…”
“Then good. By the way, where’s Chu Jiu? How come I haven’t seen her after coming back for so long?”
Zhu Yu avoided her gaze, mumbling, “She’s kneeling outside.” She then said indignantly, “At least she realizes her mistake. She has indeed neglected her duty by failing to protect you, Miss. Thank goodness you’re alright…”
Before she could finish, Lu Liangwei had already got up and departed.
Chu Jiu was indeed kneeling in the courtyard.
Seeing Lu Liangwei appear, she bashed her head on the ground. “I’ve neglected my duty by failing to protect you, Miss. Please punish me!”
