Chapter 606: If She’s Willing, I’ll Be the Other Woman
Qiao Xi inserted a long needle into Zhong Yi’s acupoints to dispel the heat poison.
Then she forced blood out from the pads of his fingers.
Huo Sijiao moved a chair over, propped her chin up with both hands, and watched Qiao Xi’s actions, her mind spinning about tonight’s events: "Brother, can you stop speaking in riddles? I can’t figure out what happened tonight at all."
Her brain really wasn’t sufficient.
"Isn’t Lu Yingxue Zhong Yi’s fiancée? Then what harm could the Lu Family pose to Zhong Yi?"
These were the same questions Qiao Xi wanted to ask, but deep down, she already had a vague answer.
Zhong Yi pulled off the bathrobe covering his head. His jade-like features carried a trace of laziness and exhaustion.
His voice was even rougher now, with a hint of hoarseness: "Because Lu Yingxue wants to give birth to my child! I just don’t know whether tonight’s drug was given by Lu Yingxue or Zhong Lingxiao. Perhaps both of them had a hand in it."
Zhong Yi slowly closed his eyes: "If Lu Yingxue gives birth to my child, there’s a strong possibility I could hold onto my position as the heir. In the future, the Lu Family father and daughter could leverage this child to solidify their standing in the Zhong Family. Once the old master dies, and I meet my demise, the grand Zhong Family would become theirs to pocket."
At that point, who in the Imperial Capital could still stand against the Lu Family father and daughter?
