Chapter 40 The Bitter Meat Scheme

The situation must be stabilized in order to deal with Su Qinghuan's backhand.

"How is it? Are you unaware of it?"

Lu Wushuang cradled his elder brother with his arm, "If I weren't here, how could it be so easy to search her body?"

"Still, why did you take such a valuable thing?"

Lu Shengqing was still a little scared. What if they lost or broke the jade pendant, how should they explain it to the young master?
  "Don't worry, it's in the lotus pond. To make it easier to find, I specially placed it in a shallow place. You can see it at a glance when you walk over."

Lu Wushuang didn't know that the jade pendant this man was carrying was such a valuable thing, and he felt a little guilty.

"But if it's not something valuable, how can you use it as an excuse to search me?"

He almost never doubted his elder brother's judgment, so when Lu Shengqing asked him to go out and create some chaos, he agreed without thinking.

He casually grabbed the jade pendant of the noble family and hid it secretly.

I originally thought that Lu Shengqing wanted to make Su Qinghuan calm down through other commotions, but he didn't expect that his elder brother actually wanted to search Su Qinghuan's belongings.

"If you still haven't found it later, you can lead people to look for it."

"Brother, do you think this woman took something from the General's Mansion again?" Lu Zhiyan hasn't understood the scene yet. His mother is still searching her body carefully, but Su Qinghuan doesn't have a pocket on her body, and she can't hide it. What?

"Let's see if Mom can find anything first."

Lu Shengqing wasn't very sure. He actually didn't fully understand what Lu Youyou meant. However, there must be something wrong with Su Qinghuan. After careful confirmation, there was nothing wrong.

"what is this?"

Lin Yuyan picked up Su Qinghuan's purse and pulled it off unceremoniously, "There's only a little left in it, but it smells a bit strange."

Before Su Qinghuan reached out to grab it, she had already handed the thing to Lu Zhiyan, "Yan'er, you have studied medicine, look at what's in this purse?"

Lu Zhiyan has been studying medicine since he was a child. He originally wanted him to be a military doctor or a royal physician in the palace, but he didn't want him to only love doing business. He later opened a medical clinic, but he never mentioned the idea of ​​becoming a doctor. .

Just by smelling it, Lu Zhiyan knew that the purse contained medicine that would cause diarrhea. He quickly frowned and picked up the food on the table next to him, thinking something bad in his heart.

"This is indeed poisonous. Although it is not very toxic, it will at least cause abdominal pain and diarrhea for a few days." Lu Zhiyan put down the plate in his hand as he spoke, "Xiaosong, go and call the doctor!"

Eating the wrong thing at a banquet is not a trivial matter. Even if it was known that the poison was found in Su Qinghuan's body, the General's Mansion would not be able to escape the consequences of ruining its reputation.

When the guests at the banquet heard that Lu Zhiyan was in a hurry to find the doctor, they all became restless.

"What's going on? Not only did things get thrown, but someone also poisoned me?"

It has been almost an hour since the banquet started, and people have already eaten these snacks. It is inevitable that some people have been poisoned. Now I heard that someone was poisoned, and everyone who had eaten just now felt a little uncomfortable and sat nearby. Coming down, he screamed non-stop.

"Everyone, this is just an ordinary laxative. It is not life-threatening. We will find a doctor to treat everyone as soon as possible."

Lu Zhiyan had never seen such a scene before, and he was inevitably at a loss. Fortunately, the doctor came over quickly and confirmed that the dose everyone had taken was still small and there was no serious problem. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. 【It should be that the accomplice still has medicinal powder on him, right? It would be less noticeable to do it separately, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by my eldest brother. 】

Lu Youyou held her chin and thought carefully. The situation was still not optimistic. Su Qinghuan was now considered a member of the General's Mansion. Naturally, the General's Mansion would not be able to escape the blame if something went wrong.

After what happened, the people present had complaints about not facing Lu Jingyuan.

"It seems that not everyone can come to the banquet in the General's Mansion. If you are not in good health, you really can't withstand it."

The person who spoke was the Taifu's former apprentice. When he was young, he also pursued Lin Yuyan. Now that he has suffered a loss in the General's Mansion, it is inevitable to have a yin and yang.

"Isn't the general going to give us an explanation?"

In this kind of scene, as long as one person opens his mouth to complain, he will inevitably be unable to hold it back. Lu Jingyuan has rarely seen this kind of scene, and he feels that he can't hold on to his face.

"Of course there is an explanation. The general's family rules are strict. Although Miss Su is the general's savior, she also violated the law. Fortunately, it did not lead to major consequences, but she should still be punished."

Lin Yuyan saw that Lu Jingyuan wanted to take the whip, so she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "We, husband and wife, will definitely come to the house with heavy gifts to apologize someday. I ask all colleagues for your forgiveness."

The matter can be big or small, and it's not that you can't be punished, it's just that you can't do it in front of so many people.

Su Qinghuan originally said that everyone in the General's Office, headed by herself, would punish her. If she was punished in public, it would inevitably fall into the trap.

But the one who was so angry just now refused to give up, "I've heard rumors for a long time that the general is keeping his wife's adopted sister as a foreign wife, and is planning to raise her as a concubine. Who knows if he will be willing to fight, maybe as soon as we leave... …”

"Snapped!"

The sound of braids breaking through the air was heard, and Su Qinghuan was hit hard by the whip before she could even hide.

"Anyone who attempts to break the law will be whipped when sent to the Yamen. Since you can't trust Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu will prove my innocence in front of everyone!"

That person didn't say that Su Qinghuan was fine. The rumors that Su Qinghuan was his side wife were getting more and more intense. They would inevitably add fuel to the flames, making him even more angry as he thought about it.

Seeing that the second whip was about to fall, Lin Yuyan quickly asked Lu Wushuang to step forward and stop him.

If this whip was applied effectively, Su Qinghuan would probably lose half of her life.

"General, you are so majestic. Your whip is not directed at the enemy, but at weak women."

[Hey, the rescuer is here. You were nowhere to be seen when the commotion was so fierce, but now you have appeared. 】

Lu Youyou watched the show for a long time and naturally knew that today's whip would not work without the whip. However, Su Qinghuan looked like she didn't even dare to cry. She also felt that this woman seemed unable to withstand the second whip.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, this woman poisoned the guests' food. Even if she is sent to the Yamen, she will be punished with at least twenty lashes. Your Highness will not know about it, right?"

Lu Jing went on an expedition to the battlefield and always disdained to attack women, but today, this woman poisoned everyone under his nose. Not only did she ruin Youyou's birthday party, but she also wanted to ruin the entire general's mansion. How could he forgive her?
