Chapter 2614: She Was Framed
Moreover, the forceful entry without any lubrication had caused severe trauma to Lu Mingxuan’s body. Since her return, she had been stuck in bed. She barely even ate in fear of needing to use the restroom and worsening her injury.
“Rest? How dare she still have the audacity to continue living! Send her directly to the ancestral temple to rest!” Lu Yuanfan declared angrily.
“Master, you can’t treat Mingxuan like this. She was framed, and furthermore, the marquis’ residence has agreed to marry her,” Mistress Yun pleaded desperately.
“Framed? Out of so many people, why did they choose to single her out? Do you think the marquis’ residence would willingly marry a woman with questionable character?” Lu Yuanfan roared.
“It’s true. Madam Li stated that we should set a wedding date,” Mistress Yun insisted adamantly. She refused to let her precious daughter be banished to a desolate temple and endure a miserable existence as if she were neither human nor ghost.
Lu Yuanfan took a deep breath and sighed heavily. “She was forbidden by Master Lian Ran from visiting Tiantai Temple and offering prayers there. Is this how you educate your daughter? To engage in such vulgar behavior?”
“The Emperor visits Tiantai Temple every year. If our family is spoken ill of by Master Lian Ran, how am I supposed to continue showing my face?
“Who knows how I’ll be ridiculed tomorrow at court.”
“Master.” Mistress Yun knelt on the ground amidst shattered teacup fragments that had pierced through her leg as she implored, “The marquis’ residence promised to marry Mingxuan.”
Rubbing his temples in exasperation, Lu Yuanfan muttered, “Why do you always cause so much trouble?”
Turning his attention to Lu Junning, he asked with a piercing gaze, “What is going on between you and Prince Chen?”
Lu Junning remained expressionless as she replied curtly, “There’s nothing going on.”
“If there isn’t anything, then why did he publicly declare his intention to propose to you in front of so many people? Could it be that you’re involved in some illicit affair with Prince Chen?” Lu Yuanfan was so furious these words were forced out between gritted teeth.
Lu Junning’s expression immediately soured upon hearing these accusations. “Father, please choose your words carefully,” she retorted.
The fact that Lu Junning addressed Lu Yuanfan as ‘father’ instead of using the more affectionate term ‘dad’ caught the latter off guard.
Ning Shu observed Lu Junning and saw that her face was ashen.
Could it be something had actually happened between her and Prince Chen? That was why she was so enraged?
Finding an antidote for the drug she had concocted wouldn’t be easy.
It was likely that they had already become physically intimate. After which nothing would be able to stop the flames of their passionate love.
Ning Shu let out a sigh, feeling somewhat reluctant deep within her heart. All her efforts seemed to only fulfill the desires of these two individuals.
The original host’s wish was not to marry Li Yu and avoid being framed. Though she managed to evade this round of framing, there might still be another one awaiting her in the future.
Until Lu Mingxuan and Li Yu were officially married, this matter was far from over.
With a cold tone, Lu Junning declared, “I have no relationship with Prince Chen, so don’t even think about trying to match us together.”
Having spoken her piece, Lu Junning turned around and departed with an air of chilly pride emanating from her figure.
Lu Yuanfan stood stunned for a moment before his face darkened further. He was so angry he couldn’t even speak.
“Master,” Mistress Yun cautiously called out amidst the tense atmosphere.
“Handle the affairs of the household properly. If there is another incident… Forget it,” Lu Yuanfan dismissed with a wave of his hand.
“And all of you, cease causing trouble. It seems that recently… we have indeed offended the teachings of Buddhism?” Lu Yuanfan contemplated holding a religious ceremony to dispel the bad fortune.
“Understood.” Everyone quickly bowed respectfully in agreement.
