Chapter 66 -66: We Took Shengsheng Home First

Upon hearing these words, everyone was shocked.

The servant pointed at Chen Ruyun with trembling hands, “It was the lady… It was the lady who took that prescription that night, and the next day she gave it to me to fetch the medicine!”

Everyone in the room subconsciously followed the direction he was pointing to and looked towards Chen Ruyun, who suddenly shivered.

What did this servant mean by that?

Did he imply that Mrs. Fu tampered with the prescription, which is why Old Mr. Fu was harmed?

It was as if thunder had struck before her eyes. Chen Ruyun felt her mind go blank in an instant, and a buzzing noise filled her ears.

The shocked and astonished stares of the crowd pierced her like sharp knives, causing her legs to go weak involuntarily.

Yet, she still forced herself to maintain composure, staggered forward to face the servant, and slapped him across the face, “You lowlife, what nonsense are you spouting?!”

Chen Ruyun’s eyes could kill, wishing she could gouge the servant to death, “Does the Fu Family feed you to slander your masters?! You want to harm Old Mr. Fu and then shift the blame onto me?!”

Chen Ruyun refused to admit it.

Of course, Chen Ruyun would not admit it.

If this matter were proven, what would await her?

A cruel and heartless daughter-in-law who plotted against her own father-in-law, could she still be a noble lady of a wealthy family? People in Jiang City’s high society would scorn her, and she would be sent to prison by Fu Yun herself!

She couldn’t admit it, absolutely could not admit it.

At this moment, Chen Ruyun suddenly regretted doing such a thing.

Back then, Chen Ruyun, as a secretary, climbed her way up and got pregnant with a child, and when it was confirmed that she was carrying a boy, she was able to marry into the Fu Family and become Mrs. Fu.

But from the moment she stepped into the Fu Family’s door nearly twenty years until now, Old Mr. Fu had never shown her a good face.

Chen Ruyun knew that Old Mr. Fu had never genuinely esteemed her but merely tolerated her reluctantly because she was the mother of his only grandson.

She felt it was because of her rural background and that she had no social presence that Old Mr. Fu despised her.

But she was wrong.

If Old Mr. Fu truly judged people based on their background, how could he adore Lu Sheng who came from the countryside and eagerly want her to be his granddaughter-in-law?

Old Mr. Fu did not look down on her for her background, but for her character.

Such a scheming and shameless woman who seduced her boss and got pregnant before marriage, when wed into the Fu Family and became the mistress of the house, was unfit for her status, a misfortune to the family.

For all these years, no matter how high and mighty Chen Ruyun appeared before the servants, or how glorious and noble she seemed to outsiders, in front of Old Mr. Fu, she was always cautious, devising ways to curry favor.

But no matter what she did, Old Mr. Fu always treated her coldly, often not willing to even speak to her, not giving her any face even in front of the servants.

Hence, she harbored hatred, a hatred so intense she wished for Old Mr. Fu’s death.

As long as the old man was alive, she could never hold her head high in the Fu Family, nor would her words carry any weight.

Just like how she did not want her own son to marry this girl from the countryside, in front of Old Mr. Fu, she dared not voice any opposition and could only swallow her anger.

Now, Chen Ruyun was scared and regretful.

But what she feared was being exposed and sent to prison, regretting that she should have been more patient.

Old Mr. Fu was already in his seventies or eighties. Even if his health was invigorated by Lu Sheng, how many more years could he live?

She should have endured; eventually, there would come a time when she could outlive the old man. She shouldn’t have been so impatient.

But now… now that Lu Sheng and the servant had exposed the matter right on the spot, even if she did not admit it, how could she explain herself? How could Old Mr. Fu possibly believe her!

In this short time, Old Mr. Fu had already taken the prescription from Lu Sheng’s hands to examine it.

When he saw that the last ingredient on the prescription had changed from hemp leaf to hemp root, and then connected it with what Lu Sheng had just said, he inferred what had happened.

Turns out, he was not poisoned by the medicine prescribed by Nannan, but someone had secretly switched Nannan’s prescription, deliberately changing one of the ingredients to poison him.

And this person, the servants testified it was his daughter-in-law.

Old Mr. Fu had already passed the age of seventy this year. At this age, people don’t judge by appearances, but rather look through them to see the heart.

Even when Chen Ruyun slapped the servant in anger, vehemently arguing that she was being slandered, Old Mr. Fu could see the panic in her eyes and knew the servant told the truth.

Old Mr. Fu sighed in his heart.

Perhaps it was also because he had been too harsh on his daughter-in-law over the years, forcing her into such actions.

“What exactly is going on?”

Upon hearing the servant’s words, Fu Yun immediately looked at Chen Ruyun in disbelief, “Sister-in-law, did you really tamper with the prescription? Was it you who changed it?”

Fu Chen was also stunned: “Mom, what is this servant talking about? Is grandpa’s poisoning related to you? Say something!”

“Enough!”

Just as everyone’s eyes turned to Chen Ruyun, who seemed barely able to hold herself together, Old Mr. Fu suddenly sat up in bed, speaking in a deep and authoritative voice.

Old Mr. Fu did not look at Chen Ruyun, who could hardly control her trembling shoulders, but instead, he first turned to Li Muchen and Lu Jingyan.

“You young ones from the Li and Lu families have put a lot of effort into my affairs today, and I’ll remember that. The rest is a family matter of the Fu family, so I won’t keep you any longer.”

It seemed that Old Mr. Fu had already made up his mind.

As his words fell, Old Mr. Fu then turned to Lu Sheng, who immediately came to the bedside and called out, “Grandpa.”

“Nannan,” Old Mr. Fu’s expression instantly softened, carefully lifting Lu Sheng’s injured hand, looking extremely heartbroken.

Sighing with self-reproach, “Nannan, today you suffered grievances because of grandpa, it’s all my fault.”

“No,” Lu Sheng shook her head earnestly, “The most important thing is that grandpa is okay; it’s just a minor injury.”

“You go back home with your brothers first, and get your injury treated. Once grandpa has settled the matter, I shall personally bring gifts and visit the Lu family to offer my apologies and thanks.”

Old Mr. Fu was going to personally visit the Lu family to offer his apologies and thanks?

What a status Old Mr. Fu had in Jiang City.

Even someone as esteemed as Li Muchen was respectful and reverent before Old Mr. Fu, yet now Old Mr. Fu expressed his intention to personally visit the Lu family to offer apologies and thanks to a minor.

What an incredible way to show regard for Lu Sheng and to give her face.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan immediately stepped forward, “There’s no need for that, Old Mr. Fu. Our Lu family has received your kind intentions.”

“For now, you should focus on recuperating. We will take Shengsheng home to treat her wound and not impose any further here.”

With those words, everyone but the Fu family members withdrew from the bedroom.

Before leaving the room, Fu Chen couldn’t help but keep looking at Lu Sheng, but she gave him only a cold glance without a proper look.

After leaving the Fu family, the unassuming Huo Yu had already vanished without a trace at some point.

Lu Jingyan said to Li Muchen, “President Li, thank you for looking out for our Shengsheng today. She still has an injury on her hand, so we’ll take her home first.”

At those words, Li Muchen’s eyes flickered slightly.

He hadn’t had a chance to hug and kiss his precious one since they met today, and seeing her injured pained him deeply.

But with these three brothers-in-law here, he couldn’t hold back from letting them take Lu Sheng home, nor could he forcibly keep her by his side. He could only take a deep breath and replied, “Alright.”

It wasn’t until he was sitting in the car, watching the Lu family’s vehicle disappear from sight, that Li Muchen retracted his gaze and instructed Chen An to drive off.

Meanwhile, in the car.

Lu Jingyan sat in the front passenger seat, Lu Sheng sat in the middle of the backseat, with Lu Siyan and Lu Youye sitting to her left and right, respectively.

The moment they got in the car, Lu Youye wrapped Lu Sheng in a tight hug.
