Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries Chapter 67: Sister-in-law is this poor?

Lu Zhenqing was so furious with Lu Zechuan that he gritted his teeth, yet he had only this son after all these years, and he couldn’t bear to beat him!

It’s... very frustrating...

Just when Lu Zhenqing was about to explode with frustration, Wu i and Lu Zhenhua walked in carrying a fruit basket.

Wu i fiddled with the hair at her temples with one hand, placed the fruit basket on the bedside table with the other, and glanced sideways around the ward. Seeing Shen Man’s deathly pale and weak appearance, she secretly felt a wave of joy.

"Second brother, what’s wrong with your wife? Never heard she had any serious illness before! How did she suddenly beco so unwell?" Wu i pinched her throat, speaking in a mocking tone.

Lu Zhenqing wasn’t pleased, "Sister-in-law, Ah Man is just feeling a bit uncomfortable, she’s not on her deathbed!"

Wu i chuckled twice, "Oh, second brother, don’t mind speaking plainly, but I think your wife is in a pretty bad state!"

Lu Zhenqing’s face darkened. He wasn’t blind, he could clearly see Shen Man’s condition was indeed bad!

But he’d called in the best doctors, and no one could diagnose Shen Man’s illness. Even if he wanted to cure her, he didn’t know where to start!

"Could it be the result of too many misdeeds, and now she’s facing retribution?" Wu i seemingly ignored Lu Zhenqing’s darkened face and continued to chuckle.

Lu Zhenqing glanced at Wu i with dissatisfaction, while Lu Zhenhua awkwardly cleared his throat, "Ah i! Stop causing trouble!"

Only then did Wu i snort coldly, standing behind Lu Zhenhua, and when she turned to see Xia Mian, her eyes instinctively darkened, "Miss Xia, you haven’t even entered the family yet, and you’re already eager to win favor with your stepmother?"

Xia Mian looked coolly at Wu i, this woman, her mouth was truly foul.

"If you can’t speak well, then don’t speak at all." Xia Mian’s gaze shifted slightly, her eyes indifferent, and after saying this, she smiled innocently.

Wu i was about to retort, but found that her mouth seed glued shut with strong adhesive, unable to open!

Wu i’s eyes darted to Xia Mian, looking at her as if she were an Evil Ghost, "Mmm mmm mmm mmm..."

Lu Zhenhua furrowed his brows, "What’s wrong with you?"

Wu i was so anxious that her eyes rounded, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you?" Lu Zhenqing retreated a few steps, as if avoiding her, "You better quickly find a temple and pray! Perhaps it’s the heavens punishing you for your foul-mouthed ways!"

Wu i was so enraged that her eyes burned, yet she couldn’t say a single word.

Frustrated beyond belief, Wu i grabbed the fruit basket from the bedside table and stord out.

Lu Zhenqing watched as Wu i took away the fruit basket ant for Shen Man, feeling sowhat speechless, "Brother, are you and sister-in-law very poor lately?"

They have to take back the fruit ant for visiting a patient, how poor must they be...

"That’s just how she is, don’t mind her." Lu Zhenhua smiled apologetically, "Your wife needs rest, we won’t disturb you further. Take good care of her, if you need anything, let know."

But even if you tell, he might not be able to help.

Lu Zhenhua left these words and hurried to chase after his wife.

But before exiting, Lu Zhenhua looked at Xia Mian with a complicated gaze.

"If you two ca just to watch the drama, you should be done now, right?" Lu Zhenqing glanced at Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian with a sowhat hostile gaze.

Lu Zechuan nodded honestly, saying three simple words, "We’re done."

Xia Mian sat by the bed, tilting her head to look at Shen Man, and said to Lu Zhenqing without turning, "Ms. Wu might be a bit hot-tempered, but she did say one thing correctly. Ms. Shen has done too much wrong, and now she’s facing retribution."

Hearing these words, Lu Zhenqing imdiately frowned, "What right do you have to say that about Ah Man? I haven’t even allowed you into the Lu Family! When did Lu Family matters beco yours to comnt on?"

Xia Mian paid no attention to Lu Zhenqing’s ranting, and calmly continued, "If you want her to live, you really need to find a temple and pray hard for her!"

After speaking, Xia Mian stood up, walked up to Lu Zechuan, glanced at Lu Zhenqing with a chill, "We’ve seen what we needed to see, we’re leaving!"

With that, Xia Mian took Lu Zechuan’s hand and headed for the door.

But just then, Shen Man weakly opened her eyes again.

"Ah Chuan." Shen Man’s voice was as small as a newborn kitten.

Lu Zechuan looked up at Shen Man, spoke coldly, "I know everything you’ve done."

Shen Man’s face flashed with shock, and her gaze instinctively darted to Xia Mian.

Ever since this girl entered the Lu Family, everything seed to be slipping out of her control.

"This is your retribution, you better accept it quietly!" Lu Zechuan glanced at Shen Man disdainfully, turned around, and left with Xia Mian.

After leaving, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian turned and went to Shen Fei and Murong Shuang’s ward.

After just one night, the two seed much better.

Though their eyes still carried so sadness.

They had lived in a daze for so many years, witnessing the tale of the farr and the snake firsthand.

"Grandpa, Grandma, is your health better?" Lu Zechuan sat between the two hospital beds, speaking softly.

Shen Fei smiled thinly, "Much better."

They were just physically weak, with more care, they’d be out of danger, and they’d be discharged in a day or two.

"Shen Man is also in this hospital." After a mont of silence, Lu Zechuan decided to inform his grandparents, "Her situation isn’t good."

She was nearing death; pursuing her for past grudges didn’t seem aningful.

Shen Fei slightly closed his eyes, "That’s what she deserves."

The Shen couple had truly invested emotionally in Shen Man.

But what Shen Man did was truly disheartening.

Lu Zechuan said nothing further.

Since Shen Man had plotted against his grandparents, any decision on her fate should be left to them.

Lu Zechuan didn’t linger long in the Shen’s ward; after a few monts, he left with Xia Mian.

Upon exiting the hospital, Xia Mian carelessly lifted her gaze, spotting a figure that seed out of place.

It was a man, wearing a washed-out Daoist robe, with long hair and a beard.

Xia Mian halted, clearly seeing that the man seed to be speaking towards her.

Deciphering his lip movents, she realized he said he wanted her life.

Xia Mian chuckled lightly, moved her fingers slightly, recited a spell silently, and flicked her fingers toward the man.

The man seed to understand, his eyes flashing keenly, and he vanished from view.

Xia Mian squinted, thoughtful.

A man of considerable Daoist skill appearing at this ti in the hospital, she couldn’t help but suspect so connection to Shen Man.

"Your aunt is still plotting!" Xia Mian’s eyes were deep, thinking of what Lu Zechuan had gone through earlier that morning, she suddenly turned back to the hospital, "We can’t leave!"

If she’d found Lu Zechuan any later this morning, he might not be alive!

Lu Zechuan’s life was so blessed that even in the face of misfortune, he’d be safe until his destined calamity.

This morning’s event wasn’t just ’bad luck’; soone was trying to take his life!
