The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 166 The Truth

Leng Qingyu thought carefully about what Lu Tingen said.

What he said does make sense.

If only one bowl of water had problems, how did Xinran accurately choose the bowl of water with problems?

She turned her gaze to Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran bowed to her and said, "My Lord, what you said is exactly what I was thinking. If Madam allows, I would like to go up and check the problem with the water."

"Okay, go check it out!" Leng Qingyu said.

Ye Xinran walked forward and picked up the silver needle. This time she did not prick her finger. Instead, she dipped the tip of the needle in a little water and put it under her nose to smell it carefully.

As Ye Xinran expected, in addition to a slight smell of blood on the tip of the needle, there was also a slight smell of datura.

When she smelled this scent, a smile appeared on Ye Xinran's lips.

It was exactly as she guessed.

The juice of the Datura flower can prevent blood from mixing. I didn't expect that someone here actually understands this medical principle.

After confirming the idea in my mind.

Ye Xinran turned around and said, "Just now Lord Lu asked, if there is a problem with the water in the bowl, how can I accurately choose the bowl with the problem?

That’s a bit of a problem.”

"Yes! How could it be such a coincidence? If there was something wrong with the water, what if the water dripped into the other bowl first? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"

Everyone also discussed in a low voice.

Ye Xinran continued: "Maybe the problem is not with the water bowl?"

"If it's not the water bowl, then where is it?"

"That's right. We were all watching just now, and no one did anything."

Ye Xinran looked at Lord Lu, "Lord, if I'm not mistaken, you should have two needle wounds on your hands, right?

One of the fingers was smeared with Datura juice in advance, and now the wound should be slightly black. "

"what?"

Even though the Marquis's identity was there, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The one who cheated was actually the Marquis?

"Lord Lu, can you please show us your finger?"

Ye Xinran asked again.

Lord Lu did not speak.

Lu Zhiyi stood up.

"Ye Xinran, you are so bold that you dare to wrongly accuse my father!

Since you came into this courtyard, my father and I have always treated you with courtesy.

Even if you made excessive demands, we didn't say anything. But now you dare to slander your father for lying?

What a big joke!

I think you are crazy about wanting to enter the Marquis' Mansion!"

Ye Xinran was unmoved, "Since you are acting properly, it's just a finger, what's there to be ashamed of?

Could it be that the Marquis' fingers are made of snow and will melt if he looks at them?"

Lu Zhi was so angry, "Ye Xinran, don't go too far. Someone, get this unruly person out!"

At Lu Zhiyi's command, servants immediately surrounded Ye Xinran.

"Let me see who dares?!"

Xiao Huaian stood beside Ye Xinran, raised his hat and glanced at the few people.

The servants felt a chill down their spines when they saw this, and a murderous aura filled their faces.

They all stood there, not daring to move.

They were not secret guards, and it was obvious at first glance that this person was not someone to be trifled with, so no one dared to go up and bring bad luck upon themselves.

When he was in a dilemma, Leng Qingyu said, "Let's see who moves!"

When they heard the lady's voice, they felt as if they had been pardoned.

That’s great. Now that the lady has spoken, they can finally withdraw with a clear conscience.

The servants in the Marquis' Mansion all understood clearly that the people they should never offend in the Marquis' Mansion were the Marquis and his wife.

Madam is the God of Wealth of the Marquis' Mansion. If you offend her, you will forget about your monthly salary in the future!

Seeing Leng Qingyu had ordered the servants to leave, Lu Zhiyi immediately walked forward and took Leng Qingyu's arm.

"Mom, are you angry?"

She said timidly, "I didn't mean to target Miss Ye, it's just that she was disrespectful to Dad, and I was so angry that I..."

"Zhiyi, you are usually a sensible person, and mother doesn't want to say anything more.

That’s what happened today. I hope you won’t make any decisions on my or your father’s behalf in the future!”

In all these years, Leng Qingyu had never spoken to Lu Zhiyi so stiffly.

After hearing Leng Qingyu's words, Lu Zhiyi's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mom, I know!"

She looked at Lord Lu, nodded reluctantly, and took two steps back.

Leng Zhiyi also looked at Lu Tingen.

"My Lord, you also said that you wanted to make things clear today. It's just a matter of looking at your fingers. You won't refuse, right?"

Lu Tingen's expression changed.

He looked at Leng Qingyu, his face full of disappointment, "Qingyu, we have been married for more than ten years, and now you want to ask me for an explanation for an outsider?"

Leng Qingyu looked at the Marquis and saw that his expression was somewhat shaken.

Over the years, what she feared most was that the Marquis would be disappointed in her.

In the past, whenever the Marquis acted like this, Leng Qingyu would definitely be defeated.

But now, facing the expression he was most afraid of seeing, Leng Qingyu still said firmly: "It's just a look at the fingers. When did the Marquis become so stingy?"

Leng Qingxin rarely saw her sister being so tough with the Marquis, she was happy in her heart and said, "Brother-in-law, you are a grown man, not a lady from a rich family, do you still have to be so shy about this kind of thing?

Is there really something wrong with your hand?"

She deliberately used this word to provoke him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Tingen turned around and said, "Nonsense, all nonsense! Go get me some more water, I want to test it again!"

"My Lord, don't be impatient."

While he turned around, Ye Xinran stepped forward and grabbed the Marquis' hand.

When several guards saw this, they immediately attacked Ye Xinran.

But before they could get close, they all felt a needle-like pain in their knees at the same time, and they all fell to the ground at once.

Ye Xinran was quick-witted and quick-handed. She took this opportunity to turn over the Marquis's palm, and a black dot on the tip of the Marquis's index finger was immediately revealed.

"My Lord, you are really cruel to yourself!"

Ye Xinran chuckled, "This mandrake flower is poisonous anyway. Be careful that the poison penetrates into your blood and cannot be cured."

Following Ye Xinran's movements, Leng Qingyu and Leng Qingxin also saw the black needle holes on Lu Tingen's hands.

Despite his suspicions, Leng Qingyu stumbled after seeing the truth, "My Lord, was it really you who did this?

Why...why are you doing this?"

When Lu Tingen saw that the truth was revealed, he was no longer as nervous as before.

He glanced around.

Seeing this, all the servants retreated.

Only four people from the Lu family were left present, Ye Xinran, Xiao Huaian, and Leng Qingxin.

Lu Tingen then slowly spoke: "Xinran, it's not that Dad doesn't want to recognize you, Dad also has difficulties that he has to overcome."

Ye Xinran sneered: "Oh? I didn't expect that!

My Lord, why don't you tell me what difficulties you have that make you unwilling to recognize your daughter?"
