Chapter 1190 - 1190 1190 As Long as Lingche Does Not Pursue

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: As Long as Lingche Does Not Pursue It Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: As Long as Lingche Does Not Pursue It Madam Lu feigned ignorance, “How… how would I know about that?”

“Mom, if you know nothing, why did you let me protect Yuyi? Aren’t you afraid I might get dragged into this?”

Madam Lu hesitated, “Will this matter drag you in? I thought these were minor issues. You always maintain good social relations; doesn’t everyone want to give you face? If you say to release Yuyi, wouldn’t the police comply?”

“I do maintain good relations, but it’s not possible that whatever I say, the police will listen!”

“In the past, when you protected your uncle’s brothers, wasn’t it quite easy to get them out?”

Lu Shengqing felt a headache coming on, “It’s not the same. I can’t protect everyone for everything.”

“But what about Yuyi? Are you just going to let her go to prison? She is Niannian’s real mother. If people find out Niannian’s mom has been in prison, Niannian will definitely be laughed at!”

“You said that Yuyi was framed, didn’t you? After the police investigate the details and clear up the matter, they will vindicate her. She won’t go to prison.”

But the problem was, Lan Yuyi wasn’t framed!

Madam Lu was frantic. Lan Yuyi going to prison was one thing, but Qiao Lainan had also implicated her to the police! Might she also end up in prison?

After much thought, fearing she might genuinely be taken away by the police, she confessed to Lu Shengqing, “Actually, I did let someone add something to the chicken soup that Lingche drank that day.”

Lu Shengqing lay on the bed, his eyes lifeless as he stared at the ceiling. “I knew it. You made it too obvious. Not just I know, Lingche and Dad also know it was you.”

“Qiao Lainan was someone I summoned. I calculated her timing well and then had the maid tell you that the chicken soup was ready.”

Lu Shengqing closed his eyes. “I knew that too. I shouldn’t have insisted on keeping Lingche to drink the soup.”

“Qiao Lainan might have implicated me by now. Sheng Qing, please help Mom think of a way to cover this up. I don’t want the police investigating me. If word gets out, I won’t be able to face anyone.”

Lu Shengqing reopened his eyes, “So that’s what you’re afraid of. Don’t worry, I won’t let the police investigate you. As long as Lingche doesn’t pursue it, the police won’t open a case. It was just a family matter initially; it was Qiao Lainan who blew it out of proportion.”

However, Madam Lu lacked confidence in Lu Lingche, “Will Lingche really not pursue it? Lately, he seems to disregard me more and more, he even dared to push me down the stairs. He’s probably very angry about this and won’t let it go easily.”

“Even if he is angry, he wouldn’t let you go to prison. Just apologize to him later, that should resolve it. If the police come looking, just have him explain it to them; it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Madam Lu’s eyes lit up, “Exactly, it’s all a misunderstanding! I just added a bit more tonic to Lingche’s soup. It was Qiao Lainan, the shameless one, who climbed into Lingche’s bed!”

“Stop doing things like this in the future; they are too full of holes and are too clumsy, easily seen through. It’s not just Lingche who will be angry with you, Dad won’t be pleased either.”

Madam Lu glared at him, “Am I not doing this for you? Gu Ranxuan is the best choice for a wife—good family, good looks, and well-mannered. Lingche must not steal this opportunity from you. No matter what, you should be the one to marry her! Marrying Gu Ranxuan would be like securing half of the Gu Family!”

“I don’t like her, Mom. Stop trying to set this up. Let Lingche marry Gu Ranxuan; they are well-matched. I and Ranxuan are not suitable; I don’t particularly like girls who are too assertive.”

“Where is Ranxuan assertive? Wasn’t she very gentle when she ate at our house?”

“I’ve known her not just since today but for years. She likes to control everything and is a person who quite admires strength. I probably can’t even catch her eye.”

Madam Lu was displeased, “How could she not be impressed with someone as outstanding as you, the future heir of the Lu Family? Stop giving me these excuses. Tell me, are you still hung up on Qiao Yin?”
