Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Wager

This spectacle is so spectacular that I want to get some sunflower seeds and a fruit plate, sit down, and enjoy the spectacle.

It's absolutely amazing!

If only Jiang Wanwan were still alive. What a spectacle!

Seeing the verbal fight between the two sides about to escalate into a physical brawl, Old Master Lu shouted angrily, "Enough! Have you had enough? You're all over a hundred years old, and you're bickering like shrews, your faces red and your ears red. How disgraceful!"

Father Lu, who had feigned illness, arrived late and accidentally missed the event. He must have been very upset.

With Old Master Lu's interruption, both sides temporarily stopped fighting. Jiang Qing said coldly, "Alright, then, produce the evidence and find out who's responsible. If your daughter volunteered, you strip naked and run around the Lu family three times, calling yourself a fool as you go."

"Okay, if it turns out your daughter did it, we'll do as you say."

This was originally a dispute between Su Ning'an and me, but now it's escalating between the Su and Lu families.

My eldest brother and the others tried to dissuade him, but once a man gets carried away, it doesn't really matter whether he's five or fifty.

For bystanders, it doesn't matter; after all, someone gets to see the show running around naked, so it's worth it.

Lu's father hadn't expected to encounter such a spectacular spectacle upon his arrival. He watched silently from the sidelines, as his son had nothing to do with him today.

By the way, where's his son?

Lu's father looked around but couldn't find Lu Shiyan.

Thinking that Lu Shiyan had been feeling down lately and had probably gone back to his room, he didn't dwell on it. After the situation calmed down, Lu Yanchen slowly spoke, "Stop arguing, then? I'll show you the evidence."

My eyes widened. What had this man done to me without telling me?

He even had evidence?

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on him. "What evidence?"

"Don't worry, everyone. Let's take it one thing at a time."

Lu Yanchen glanced at Shen Ji, who nodded and played a clip.

This was something I didn't even know existed!

The audio was clearly Su Ning'an's voice: "Are you really willing to let Jiang Wanwan become someone else's woman? What a shame for her face."

"What are you afraid of? Lu Yanchen is a cripple. You're doing him a big favor by sleeping with her."

"If she refuses, it's easy. Just give her some medicine, and she'll be at your mercy. With women, if you do it once and film some evidence, won't she obey you in the future? You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, with just a word."

I was stunned. I'd guessed Su Ning'an would use Fu Xici against me; I had no idea Lu Yanchen would have evidence.

Why was he so focused on Su Ning'an?

Thinking about it, he was the only one who hadn't given up on searching for me since my death, and he'd clearly told Lu Shiyan that he suspected Su Ning'an, but he hadn't found any evidence.

This meant that even to this day, Lu Yanchen hadn't given up his investigation!

Why? Even after I was buried, Lu Yanchen was still going to this lengths? Everyone marveled at the evidence Lu Yanchen had produced, but I was the only one with mixed emotions. I looked at the man I'd called "little uncle" for over a decade.

We were clearly married, but I never seemed to truly understand what kind of man he was.

It was precisely because he refused to give up that he was able to obtain evidence that Su Ning'an had framed me.

Mrs. Su was stunned, Father Su was silent, and the rest of the Su family looked even grimmer.

Su Ning'an was gradually subverting their perceptions. How could such a well-behaved child do such a thing?

Jiang Qing was immediately furious. "Is this the innocent daughter you all talk about? My daughter has no grudges against her. She just married into the Lu family, and she's already instigating other men to drug her! She's simply inhuman!"

The Su family knew they were in the wrong, but they wouldn't easily admit their mistake.

"It's just audio. Who knows if it's been manipulated? How convincing is this evidence?" Even now, they still refused to admit it. Lu Yanchen spoke slowly, "Mrs. Su, there's no need to deny it so quickly, or you'll hurt even more later."

Shen Ji released another scene, showing Su Ning'an secretly delivering the medicine to Fu Xici.

Su Ning'an lowered his voice and warned, "This medicine is very potent. One sip will make her fantasize about men and even go to bed with them."

Fu Xici asked, "What if she takes a few more sips?"

"You don't even know my own parents, so you can do whatever you want."

The faces of the Su family members changed. Recalling how Su Ning'an had just held onto Fu Xici in that situation, it was clear she had lost her mind.

But she had originally intended to use this medicine on me!

"Slap!"

No one expected that this slap would come from my mother.

Xu Lan personally slapped Mrs. Su. Such a gentle woman, her fair face flushed, her thin shoulders trembling slightly. "How could the Su family raise such a vicious daughter? What did my daughter do wrong? Why would she plot against her like this?"

Xu Lan's gentleness faded, and she stared at Mrs. Su with a sharp gaze.

Never underestimate the price a mother pays to protect her daughter!

Even a rabbit bites when it's cornered.

Mrs. Su, a gentle woman who had once comforted her, was slapped in the face. Unable to speak, she accepted the blow.

I walked over to Xu Lan and hugged her from behind.

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't be angry. It's not worth getting hurt by someone like that."

Xu Lan turned around, her face wet with tears. "Silly child, why is your life so miserable? It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well."

Her cries touched Jiang Qing's few remaining vestiges of conscience. He had been planning to mock the Su family, but now he was in no mood. I took Xu Lan from my arms and hugged her. "Okay, stop crying. You're already so grown up, you're making a fool of yourself! We're still here, aren't we? No one can bully Wanwan."

Xu Lan's rage intensified, and she waved her fist at his chest. "It's all your fault for insisting on marrying Wanwan into the Lu family. She was so young, and you couldn't wait. You..."

Jiang Qing put his arm around Xu Lan's waist and led her outside to comfort her, fearing the Su family would find fault and mock him.

Here, Shen Ji went all out. In the video, Fu Xici, taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, drugged a red wine glass and handed it to me. Watching me take a sip, Mrs. Su pointed at my face and asked, "Why are you okay?"

"Fu Xici was flirting with me outside the Lu family's door. Do you think I'd be so foolish as to drink the wine he offered me? I would have spit it out long ago."

I took Lu Yanchen's hand. "Since I've married into the Lu family, I won't betray my husband. I'm not like Su Ning'an, so fickle and unpredictable."

"Then who drugged An'an?"
