Chapter 46

"You know, Lu Yu was drugged, do you know who did it?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"It wasn't anyone, she laid it for herself." Chu Qing sat down opposite Li Tianxiao, resting her chin with one hand, looking at the dead tree in the distance, feeling that Lu Yu should wake up around this time.

"She gave birth by herself? How do you know? She doesn't want this child? But this child is the only blood of the Lu family. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for her to be born?" Li Tianxiao asked puzzled.

Chu Qing shrugged and said: "She must be too nervous, there are still safflower powder in the gaps between her nails, as for why she doesn't want this child, if... the child is not Lu Ci Nian's?"

Li Tianxiao looked over: "How come?"

Chu Qing said: "There are three possible reasons for a mother to shed her child. One is that she doesn't want the child, but from the current point of view, she has no reason not to; the other is that she hates the child's father. She didn't want to give birth to his child, but when Lu Yu went to pay homage to Lu Cinian, her eyes did not show any hatred; the third is that the child was not Lu Cinian's, and she was afraid that it would be revealed after it was born." After much deliberation, there was only The third possibility is the most likely.

"You suspect Lu Jincai?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"I don't know." Chu Qing replied.

"The reason? If the child doesn't belong to Lu Cinian, then it can only belong to Lu Jincai." The childhood sweethearts of the three of them, if it's not this person's, it must be another one. "What's more, as you heard before, Lu Jincai was an apprentice in a pharmacy, so he must know the art of Qihuang. It is not impossible to make Lu Ci Nian suffer from asthma."

But Chu Qing shook her head: "No, I always feel that it's not so good. Lu Cinian was only in her teens when her asthma was induced, and even if the three of them were childhood sweethearts, their relationship lines were rather complicated, but they wouldn't be so precocious." At that time, right? Lu Yu is only eight or nine years old.

No matter what, you can't make the adoptive father's own son like this just because of such a trivial matter, right?

Besides, what about the chronic poison in Lu Gui's body?
Lu Gui and Lu Jincai have no enmity, right?There's even grace, so it's even less likely.

Could it be... She guessed wrong from the beginning?The murderer wasn't from the Lu family?

"Even if it's impossible for Lu Jincai to have harmed Lu Cinian, that child is probably his." Li Tianxiao said.

Chu chuckled lightly: "Mr. Li is so clever, otherwise, you will solve this case?"

Li Tianxiao glanced at her quietly: "..."

Chu Qing shut her mouth: "Yes, Mr. Li, you pretend I didn't say anything."

"Knock knock. Are the two young masters here?"

There was a knock on the courtyard door, Chu Qing looked out, and met the servant's gaze: "What's the matter?"

The servant said: "The eldest young lady is awake, the master asked the younger one to call the two sons to the backyard to discuss matters."

Chu Qing stood up, and together with Li Tianxiao, walked forward with the family.

"Did the young master have a good relationship with the second son before his death?" Chu Qing suddenly asked the family member.

"Okay, what's wrong? The eldest son is a nice person. Although the second son is the master's adopted son, he is very kind to the eldest son. Back then, he took the initiative to study medicine because the eldest son suddenly suffered from a serious illness and got asthma. I just asked to learn, and I want to take good care of the eldest son in the future." The servant said with emotion.

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao looked at each other, and said thoughtfully: "What about the relationship between the eldest son and the second son and the eldest wife?"

The servant said: "The three of them grew up together, and they have a very good relationship. The young lady and the young master are like a pair of lovers. When the eldest son got married, the second son was very happy, drunk for a day. One night."

Chu slightly raised his eyebrows: "Is the second son not married?"

Jia Ding suddenly paused, looked around, and secretly said to Chu Qing: "No."

Chu Qing also lowered his voice and said: "Why? I think the second son is very handsome, and he has passed the age of weak crown, so he should be married."

Jia Ding shook his head and said with emotion: "Second Young Master has a good heart, he has been dragging his heels on getting married, because he is afraid of harming the girl for the rest of his life, so he is unwilling."

"Huh?" Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "What's going on? Could it be that Second Young Master has a hidden disease?"

Jia Ding actually nodded his head and said: "Young Master, don't say it in front of Second Young Master, although this is a secret recognized by the Lu family, but I am afraid that Second Young Master will be upset, so I never mention it."

Chu Qing became even more curious: "What is it?"

The family member said: "The reason why the master chose the second son to enter the mansion is not afraid that the second son will have crooked ideas. One of the reasons is that the second son was accidentally beaten when he was an orphan. It was because of this that I chose the Second Young Master."

Chu Qing's body froze, and her brows were frowned tightly: "You said that Lu Jincai is inhumane?" Then what she guessed earlier was all wrong?
Then whose child is in Lu Yu's belly?Could it really be Lu Ci Nian's?

But why did she insist on aborting that child?

Chu Qing fell silent, and she and Li Tianxiao looked at each other with deep doubts in their eyes: Lu Jincai is inhumane, since even a family member knows it, even if it is already a secret recognized by the Lu family.But since the child is not Lu Jincai's, then it really belongs to Lu Ci Nian?

But Chu Qing always felt that it was not.

But besides Lu Jincai and Lu Cinian, who else could it be?

Li Tianxiao and Chu Qing staggered a few steps away from the servant, and he whispered to Chu Qing: "Since you don't know, then ask Lu Yu." The child's mother, after all, knows, right?

Chu Qing nodded, now I am afraid that this is the only way.

It's just that Chu Qing still couldn't find out from Lu Yu whether the child belonged to Lu Cinian or not. When she and Li Tianxiao arrived in the backyard, they saw the backyard was in chaos before they entered.After a long distance, Lu Gui's wail could still be heard: "Xiaoyu, why can't you think about it so hard?! What's the matter, can we discuss it? You are...why?"

The housekeeper ran around in a hurry, and when he saw Chu Qing, his red eye circles lit up, and he hurried over and said, "Master Chu, please go and see my eldest young lady, please go and have a look..."

Looking at the chaos in the courtyard, Chu Qing felt an ominous premonition welling up in her heart.

She walked over in a hurry, and as soon as she approached, she saw the scene in Lu Yu's room clearly, her face became serious: How could this happen?
She walked over quickly, put her index finger and middle finger together, put it on the pulse of Lu Yu's neck, felt it carefully, and after a while, she withdrew her hand feebly, met Lu Gui's hopeful gaze, shook her head and said, "Dead."

Lu Yu's body was already cold, and he had been dead for at least an hour. "Why did you find out at this time? Isn't it for people to guard?"

Lu Gui immediately began to cry again: "Xiaoyu...why are you so overwhelmed...you kill two people like this, won't my old Lu family die?"

Lu Guihao's Chu Qing had a headache, she simply stood up and looked at the housekeeper: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said: "The maidservant who was on guard at night thought nothing was wrong, so she snoozes on for a while. When she wakes up, the young lady...has hanged herself for a long time." It's like my own daughter.After thinking about it, Chu Qing understood that a selfish person like Lu Gui would definitely not teach it himself.

After Lu Yu and Lu Jincai were sent to the Lu Mansion, they must have been brought up by the housekeeper. Now that Lu Yu died, he would be more sad and sad than Lu Gui.

Chu lightly patted the butler on the shoulder, and said, "My condolences."

The housekeeper nodded: "Master Chu has been busy all night in vain."

Chu shook her head lightly, and walked out of the wing room. She walked to the stone chair in the yard and sat down weakly.

Li Tianxiao sat down opposite her and didn't speak.

Chu Qing raised her hand and supported her forehead: "...Is it because I shouldn't have made a move?" If she hadn't made a move last night and the child was gone, at least Lu Yu would not have committed suicide. .

"It has nothing to do with you, you just did what you should do. You didn't expect that Lu Yu would commit suicide." Li Tianxiao put his hand on Chu Qing's shoulder, and pressed it to express his comfort.

After a while, Chu Qing raised her head and rubbed her face: "Let Mr. Li see the joke."

Li Tianxiao shook his head and said, "Young Master Chu is the one with true temperament." His eyes are deep, looking at this person like this makes people feel like they want to trust him wholeheartedly, Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head away .

"Mr. Li was joking." Chu Qing stood up and returned to Lu Yu's room.

Although she was sure about Lu Yu's death, she almost forgot about the autopsy because she was so shocked earlier, she made sure that Lu Yu had indeed committed suicide. He grabbed Chu Qing's sleeves: "Young master Chu, tell me, is Xiaoyu murdered by someone? Was she killed just like Nian'er? Xiaoyu is clearly fine, How can you say that suicide is suicide? I don’t understand, I don’t understand..."

Chu Qing said: "Master Lu, the young lady did commit suicide, not homicide."

"Young Master Chu, please take a look again...how can Xiaoyu commit suicide?" Lu Guixu still does not believe that Lu Yu is really dead. No more, she grabbed Chu Qing's sleeve and didn't let go, making her look ten years older for a while.

Chu Qing frowned and said: "Master Lu, if you don't believe me, you can report the case and let the government investigate." Chu Qing shook off Lu Gui's hand with a serious expression.

Lu Gui was frightened by the chill in Chu Qing's eyes, and said anxiously: "This old man didn't mean that...but, why did Xiaoyu disappear..."

He murmured, suddenly tilted his head, and spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow".

"Come on, hurry up and invite the doctor!" The courtyard was once again in chaos.

Chu Qing stood outside the crowd, looked at the busy crowd, carefully observed the expressions on everyone's faces, but finally saw nothing.

Li Tianxiao stood behind her and asked, "What do you see?"

Chu lightly shook his head: "Not really."
