Chapter 161: Justice
Lin Wanqing struggled on the ground for a long time before slowly standing up.
She looked at Lu Ming and said with forced composure, "Lu Ming, are you so disrespectful to your elders? I'm your stepmother after all, and you treat me like this?"
When Lu Ming heard this, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Stepmother? Are you worthy of being called that? You did such a shameless thing, and you still have the nerve to call yourself my stepmother? I'm telling you, today is the day you die!"
Lu Ming said angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Ming, feeling flustered.
She knew that she was in great danger today, but she didn't want to die like this.
So, she suppressed her fear and shouted to Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, you can't kill me! I'm the mistress of this family. If I die, this family will be in chaos! Your father will never forgive you!"
Lu Ming listened to Lin Wanqing's words and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"Chaos? Humph, this family has been in chaos for a long time because of you! As for my father, if he knew what you did, he would probably kill you with his own hands! Just accept your fate today!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he winked at his men.
Those people immediately understood and stepped forward to surround Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing looked at these people and felt despair in his heart.
At this critical moment, a majestic roar suddenly rang out.
"Lu Ming, what do you want to do?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Shengyuan rushing over with a group of people. His face was full of anger and he stared at Lu Ming with sharp eyes.
When Lu Ming saw Lu Shengyuan, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure, bowed to Lu Shengyuan, and said, "Father, you've arrived just in time. This Lin Wanqing has done such a heartless thing, and I simply want her to pay the price."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned and looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Madam? What is going on?" Lu Shengyuan asked in a deep voice.
When Lin Wanqing saw Lu Shengyuan, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
She quickly threw herself at Lu Shengyuan's feet and cried, "Prince, you have to make a decision for me! Lu Ming, he wants to kill me!"
Lu Shengyuan listened to Lin Wanqing's crying, then looked at Lu Ming, feeling confused.
He knew very well that his son had a strong character, but he wouldn't do something like killing his mother, right?
"Lu Ming, please tell me clearly, what is going on?" Lu Shengyuan asked again.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and told Lu Shengyuan everything he had investigated.
He spoke sincerely and clearly, listing Lin Wanqing's crimes one by one.
As Lu Shengyuan listened to Lu Ming's story, his expression became increasingly grim.
There was no trace of tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Lin Wanqing.
"Lin Wanqing, do you have anything else to say?" Lu Shengyuan asked in a deep voice.
Lin Wanqing kept shaking her head, tears streaming down her face, and she choked with sobs.
"Prince, it really wasn't me! I've been out for a long time, praying for blessings. How could I harm Su Qiao'er and her son? I have no reason to do that!"
Lu Ming was furious as he listened to Lin Wanqing's sophistry.
"You still dare to quibble! You have always coveted me, so you are hostile to Su Qiaoer. Everyone in the palace knows this! Didn't you harm her just to make me hate her and then look at you more? A vicious woman like you really deserves to die!" Lu Ming said angrily.
When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart ached.
She did like Lu Ming before, and was jealous that Su Qiaoer could get his love, but now she no longer likes him!
"Lu Ming, you are talking nonsense! I did like you, but I never thought of harming Su Qiaoer! You can't convict me for this!" Lin Wanqing cried.
Lu Shengyuan watched the two people arguing, and his doubts grew even more intense.
He knew that Lin Wanqing had always had feelings for Lu Ming, but he couldn't believe she would kill someone for it.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Lu Shengyuan shouted, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
He looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of indifference.
"Lin Wanqing, tell me first, where have you been all this time? Is there anyone who can prove it?"
When Lin Wanqing heard this, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
She quickly told Lu Shengyuan about her whereabouts during this period and named several people who could prove her innocence.
Lu Shengyuan listened to Lin Wanqing's words and nodded slightly.
He turned to look at Lu Ming and said in a deep voice, "Lu Ming, don't be impulsive. I will send someone to investigate this matter. If Lin Wanqing really did such a heartless thing, I will not tolerate it!"
When Lu Ming heard this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he knew his father's character and would not easily change his decision.
He took a deep breath, bowed to Lu Shengyuan and said, "Father, if that's the case, then I'll wait for your news."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Ming's departing back and felt relieved.
I am safe for now.
But she also knew that this matter would not end easily, and she had to find a way to prove her innocence.
However, Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, his heart full of doubts and confusion.
He didn't know whether Lin Wanqing had done this or not, but he knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
He must send someone to investigate and give everyone justice!
Thinking of this, he turned and left, leaving Lin Wanqing standing there alone.
Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan's departing back, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Her fate is in Lu Shengyuan's hands, and she must find a way to make him believe in herself.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and turned away.
She wants to find those who can prove her innocence and let them testify for her!
On the other side, after Lu Ming returned to his yard, he immediately summoned a group of trusted subordinates.
He said to his men in a deep voice, "Immediately investigate Lin Wanqing's whereabouts and the people she's been in contact with. I want to know if she did this!"
Upon hearing this, his men immediately took orders and left.
Lu Ming looked at their departing backs, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He knew that this matter would not end easily, and he had to find a way to prove Lin Wanqing's guilt!
On the other side, Lu Shengyuan returned to the study, sat at the desk, and after thinking for a moment, sent someone to call Lin Wanqing over.
Lin Wanqing was feeling uneasy, not knowing why Lu Shengyuan called her over.
She walked into the study and saw Lu Shengyuan looking at her seriously, which made her feel even more uneasy.
"Lin Wanqing, tell me the truth, have you ever done that kind of thing?" Lu Shengyuan asked in a deep voice.
