Chapter 2624: She Took My Place!
Chapter 2624: She Took My Place!
“Mother… mother…” Lu Mingxuan sobbed uncontrollably as she clung to Mistress Yun.
“What in the world is going on?” Filled with rage, Lu Yuanfan overturned the table in anger.
“That wretched woman, Lu Yujing, took my place and got married. She impersonated me!” With tears of anguish streaming down her face, Lu Mingxuan’s voice trembled with pain.
“They tied me up and concealed me under the bed while I helplessly watched that wretched woman—Lu Yujing—take my position.”
“Lu Junning, I’ll kill you!” Lu Mingxuan lunged toward Lu Junning with a pained and desperate expression.
But there was a knight in shining armor by Lu Junning’s side. Prince Chen swiftly kicked Lu Mingxuan away, causing her to spit out blood.
As Mistress Yun held her, her gaze toward Lu Junning displayed both calmness and insanity.
Ning Shu: …
What the fr*ck!?
Lu Yujing had taken Lu Mingxuan’s place and married into the Marquis’ residence.
How could such a bizarre turn of events occur?
Lu Yujing was only ten years old, ten! She was marrying a homosexual at the age of ten, and signing away the rest of her life just like this.
Based on what Lu Mingxuan revealed, it seemed that Lu Yujing willingly took part in this scheme.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but close her eyes. She was at a loss for words.
Lu Yujing had gotten married at such a young age solely to try and gain wealth and status.
Unexpectedly, this matter still held unforeseen twists and turns.
Ning Shu glanced over at Lu Junning. Her expression remained indifferent as she stood beside Shen Yichen, creating an image of two celestial beings descending upon the mortal realm.
Not only did they prevent Lu Mingxuan from marrying Li Yu, but their actions also placed the entire Lu family in jeopardy and exacerbated the situation further.
The marquis’ residence would undoubtedly demand an explanation regarding this fraudulent marriage issue.
It seemed likely that instead of forging an alliance through marriage, they would end up making enemies.
When it came to plotting against others, they really showed no mercy whatsoever!
“Master! You must seek justice for us! What will happen to Mingxuan now?” Mistress Yun sobbed as she pleaded with desperation in her voice.
Someone had taken her daughter’s place—what were they supposed to do now?
Mistress Yun’s face was ashen—her son had died, and her daughter’s marriage had also been stolen. She repeatedly knocked her head on the floor as she kowtowed and begged, “Master, please save our daughter!”
Lu Yuanfan tightly clutched his chest, breathing heavily. He looked at Lu Junning and demanded an explanation. “You need to clarify this matter for me. How am I supposed to explain it to the marquis’ residence?”
With a calm and composed demeanor, Lu Junning responded, “This daughter had no knowledge of this scheme. However, based on what I know, it was actually Eldest Sister who orchestrated this plan in order to evade marriage with Li Yu.
“Not only did she manage to avoid marrying Li Yu but also shifted the blame onto me.”
Lu Mingxuan shouted frantically. “You’re making things up! It was clearly you! It was you!”
Looking down at Lu Mingxuan, Lu Junning remarked coolly, “It has been three days since the wedding. You haven’t eaten or drunk anything. How are you still alive? How do you even have the energy to shout at me?”
“That’s because someone brought me food,” Lu Mingxuan desperately argued.
“Someone brought you food? Clearly, you hid yourself and had numerous opportunities to call for help. Why did you choose now to come out?” There was confusion evident in Lu Junning’s expression.
Lu Mingxuan desperately wanted to argue further. “They didn’t give me a chance! Every time they brought food, they would force it into my mouth and cover it afterward.”
“Then how did you manage to escape just now?”
“The maids allowed me to go,” replied Lu Mingxuan.
Unfortunately for Lu Mingxuan, her explanation only worsened matters.
Ning Shu believed that Lu Mingxuan spoke the truth because marrying Li Yu seemed like her only path forward; if even that opportunity had been taken away from her, her future would be bleak indeed.
“Father, did you hear that? It was clearly Eldest Sister who refused to marry Li Yu and devised this plan,” Lu Junning informed Lu Yuanfan.
Lu Yuanfan’s chest heaved as he approached Lu Mingxuan, his gaze filled with menace.
