Chapter 1153: Lu Yan Is Uneasy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Xiang’s expression darkened. Why did it have to be on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony? Lu Yan was blind, and the old master was unconscious.

At the thought of this, Lu Xiang suddenly turned to look at Gu Zheng. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Gu Zheng. “You! It must be you! Only you would poison my father and Ah Yan!”

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent. There was no fluctuation in his deep eyes at all. There was even a trace of disdain.

Lu Xiang hated Gu Zheng’s expression the most. He was clearly the bastard that no one wanted. He had been abused by Huang Lilan since he was young. The Gu and Lu families hated him, but now, he was high and mighty. He was not respectful or afraid of her at all. Instead, he was filled with disdain.

She was furious and roared, “Gu Zheng! Take out the antidote! Why are you so vicious?! I’m going to call the police! Guards! Quickly arrest this culprit who harmed his family!”

The main residence instantly fell silent. The servants all stood in the corner, not daring to move.

Lu Xiang pointed at the group of people and shouted angrily, “You bunch of trash! If you don’t dare to do it, I’ll do it myself!”

As she spoke, her face turned ferocious as she rushed toward Gu Zheng like a shrew. “Quickly take out the antidote! You must have poisoned them, you—”

“Second Miss Lu, what evidence do you have to say that Gu Zheng poisoned them?” Qiao Xi stood in front of Gu Zheng and grabbed Lu Xiang’s wrist. Her expression was cold, and her voice became low. “It’s slander if you don’t have any evidence! I can sue you for slander!”

Everyone’s gazes landed on the two of them. Lu Xiang struggled, but Qiao Xi’s hand was like an iron clamp that did not waver in the slightest.

On the other hand, Lu Yan’s vision was dark. His heart was filled with panic, and he could only sit on the sofa without daring to move. Hearing Qiao Xi’s voice, Lu Yan gritted his teeth, and his heart was filled with resentment.

At this moment, Lu Xiang had already gone mad. She pointed at Qiao Xi and roared furiously. “Let go of me! Gu Zheng, it was you who poisoned them! Give me the antidote! If you don’t take it out, I’ll definitely make you regret it. Aren’t you afraid that if news of this gets out, it’ll affect you?”

The entire venue was deathly silent. A moment later, Qiao Xi sneered. “Second Miss Lu, the doctor said that Old Master Lu and Lu Yan were poisoned at 11 o’clock last night. At that time, Gu Zheng and I were resting in Yun Court. How could we have come to the main residence and poisoned them by avoiding the bodyguards and surveillance cameras?

“Old Master Lu and Lu Yan have both been poisoned. I know you’re very sad about it and can’t accept this fact. Even so, you can’t malign others!!”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were still indifferent. Lu Xiang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. As she roared angrily, her voice became hoarse. “I’m not maligning him! It must be Gu Zheng! Only he has the guts to poison them in the entire Lu family’s mansion!”

Qiao Xi had a helpless expression. “Ah Zheng and I won’t take the blame. Second Miss Lu, why don’t you quickly check the surveillance footage? There might be clues. At the same time, it’ll prove that Ah Zheng and I never came to the main residence.”

Lu Xiang bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she shouted, “Then check the surveillance footage! Hurry up and go!”

Lu Yan sat on the sofa and had a bad feeling. He kept having the feeling that Qiao Xi was guiding Lu Xiang to say certain things, but when he wanted to stop Lu Xiang, it was too late.

His eyes were dry, and he felt very uncomfortable. His heartbeat was chaotic as if something bad was about to happen.

The only way now was to check the surveillance footage. At that time, they would be able to discover who poisoned him and Grandpa. However, Lu Yan was very uneasy. He was the victim, and the person who poisoned him was clearly Gu Zheng. He did not have to be afraid at all.

“Second Miss, I’ve copied the surveillance footage into my laptop.” Soon, the butler came to the hall with his laptop.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the screen. The surroundings of Yun Court were very quiet. No one entered or left. It was as quiet as a painting.

Gu Zheng glanced at the surveillance footage and looked at Qiao Xi with smiling eyes. Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “Ah Zheng, why are you looking at me?”

“It’s nothing. I just think you’re very powerful, Xi Xi.”

Qiao Xi’s heart trembled. When she went to the main residence yesterday, she kept feeling that someone was watching her. Moreover, when she went to the surveillance room, she realized that the door was open as if someone had been there.

If she did not sense it wrongly, that person must have come to the surveillance room in advance and modified the surveillance footage. That was why she did not see anyone else in the surveillance footage.

There was only one person in the Lu family’s mansion who had such superb skills—Gu Zheng!

Qiao Xi could not help but raise her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. The corners of his mouth carried a gentle smile, but his expression was indifferent.
