Chapter 744: Breaking the Promise
"Raised me?" Lu Yichen looked at Old Madam Lu, a trace of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes, "What you call raising me, is that to poison me, causing my health to gradually weaken, to live in agony but unable to die, is that correct?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room burst into an uproar, and everyone looked at Old Madam Lu with incredulous eyes. They were not fools; they could obviously understand the meaning behind Lu Yichen’s words. Wasn’t he outright saying that Old Madam Lu had poisoned him?
It turned out that over the years, the news of Lu Family’s third son’s frail health had spread in just this way. It seems it wasn’t a case of being sickly, but that he had been poisoned by Old Madam Lu!
If that were truly the case, then Old Madam Lu was indeed very cruel.
Previously, people thought that the things Old Master Lu had done were already ruthless enough, but who would have thought that Old Madam Lu was not to be outdone! Indeed, "It’s not a family, if there isn’t a door," a saying that proved true here. Both the husband and wife were not good people.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Old Madam Lu had also noticed the contemptuous looks from those around her, and although she felt somewhat guilty, she immediately retorted, "Lu Yichen, don’t spew blood and slander me here. Clearly, it’s your own weak constitution, and now to find an excuse, you’re accusing me of poisoning you. If you really were poisoned, how could you possibly be so healthy now?"
"Through these years, although I haven’t treated you as well as my other children, I don’t believe I’ve ever wronged you! It seems that if one is not of my own flesh and blood, they cannot be brought up properly."
Even though on the surface everything she said seemed very logical and didn’t show a hint of guilt, in her heart, she was in utter panic.
She didn’t know if Lu Yichen knew something, but there was absolutely no way she could admit it now. Moreover, since so many years had passed, Lu Yichen had no evidence, so she didn’t need to be afraid.
