Chapter 558: Chapter 558, Out of Breath (8th Update)
Lu Yuyu was reeking to high heaven, she had never imagined that when everything came to light, she would end up in such a state.
Everyone was cursing her, everyone was scrutinizing her.
The man who professed his love for her had already hidden far away, refusing to e out and face her.
With hatred in her heart, Lu Yuyu felt she couldn’t just be trampled into the mud. She said to the old maid in a deep voice, “You’re talking nonsense. Your son gave me that poison, it was your son who wanted to poison Chu Yunping. If you don’t let him e out and face me today, I’ll go to the Governor’s Office and have them investigate where that poison really came from!”
The old maid was shocked.
The onlookers were also taken aback.
It seemed there was more to the story.
The old maid, infuriated, exclaimed, “What nonsense are you spouting? You, you…”
Just when Lu Yuyu thought she was about to succeed, the patriarch threw her lover out, “Go on then, go to the Governor’s Office and turn yourself in right now!”
“Father…”
“…” Lu Yuyu.
“As of this moment, you are no longer a part of the Wang Family, nor are you my son!”
Stealing someone else’s wife was not unheard of.
Attempting to poison someone else’s husband also happened, but it just wasn’t uncovered.
Now that the matter had been exposed, they could only bear the consequences of their actions.
Chu Residence
Though the Chu Residence was built outside the city, it was constructed with great grandeur.
Lanterns hung at the gate with several people standing by as they saw a carriage approaching.
The man leading them asked, “Is that Yun’an?”
“Master, it is the Second Young Master!” the butler promptly called out.
Chu laoye nodded, “Quickly, go inform the madam to prepare tea, and have hot water ready for Yunping, hurry!”
The carriage came to a halt, and Chu Yun’an stepped down, immediately helping Xie Zhinuan down from the carriage.
Chu laoye saw that Xie Zhinuan had brought several people with her.
Two maids, two children, a middle-aged man, an elder, and four guards, which greatly surprised him.
“Father, let’s talk inside,” Chu Yun’an spoke up.
Ever since his elder brother fell ill, he was the one handling the household affairs.
Chu laoye hurriedly nodded and bowed to Xie Zhinuan, “Miss, I apologize for having you travel such a long distance, please e in!”
“Chu laoye need not be so formal. I have taken the liberty of bringing the children with me; I hope you will forgive this imposition,” Xie Zhinuan said.
“No trouble at all, no trouble at all!” Chu laoye quickly replied.
All his hopes were now resting on Xie Zhinuan.
He wouldn’t mind even if she brought her whole family as long as she could save his eldest son.
They were just about to step inside when a cry broke out, “My son, oh my son!”
Clearly, Chu Yunping’s condition had worsened.
Chu laoye’s body swayed, nearly unable to stand firm.
Xie Zhinuan quickly offered him support, “Chu laoye…”
“Never mind me, Yunping, Yunping…”
Chu Yun’an also quickly spoke, “Miss Xie, please e this way!”
Xie Zhinuan gave a nod, “Dugu, you take care of the two children, Old Master, follow me!”
Dugu Zhen grunted in response.
But he obediently followed quickly.
As they entered the courtyard, the crying grew louder.
Chu Yun’an led Xie Zhinuan into the room, sweat on his brow.
Xie Zhinuan had already opened a box full of shining silver needles, one end soaking in a bottle.
And in the bottle was spiritual spring water.
“Everyone who is not essential, leave now. Open the windows; the room is too stuffy. Light a few more oil lamps, add several more candles!” Xie Zhinuan manded firmly.
Chu Yun’an immediately pulled the madam away.
The space next to the bed was cleared, and Xie Zhinuan approached, pinched Chu Yunping’s nose, and poured some spiritual spring water into his mouth.
“What are you making my son drink?” the madam inquired, only to be silenced by Chu Yun’an’s hand over her mouth.
