My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Seven seven!"

Lu Zhanyao couldn't bear it any longer.

"As the saying goes, don't air your dirty laundry in public!"

He lowered his voice and said to Wen Qiqi in an extremely dangerous tone: "Don't hit yourself in the face in front of the Empress Dowager!"

"Lu Zhanyao, you are right!"

Wen Qiqi raised her voice and said sternly, "Family disgrace should not be made public. As the mistress of the Lu family, I really shouldn't have done this today! But you took advantage of the fact that there was no one in my Wen Mansion and deceived my second sister's daughter into being innocent... You even deceived the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess, just to fulfill your own selfish interests..."

After hearing these words, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao just looked at each other.

Although the two have been rivals for many years, they are also the kings of fighting in the palace.

Wen Qiqi's words undoubtedly meant that she was going to expose her husband in public and go against the Lu family!

The Empress Dowager, who had been through many battles, was the first to speak.

"Qiqi, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me in private. As for this marriage, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out."

Concubine Xiao nodded: "Yes, Qiqi, everyone is happy today, don't be angry. There is still a long way to go, and it is always good to be gentle."

Wen Qiqi thought that the two empress dowagers had suppressed the matter, so she did not dare to act rashly.

"Qiqi admits that she can't be a gentle and virtuous mistress this time."

She stood up and looked at Lu Xingcheng.

When their eyes met, Lu Xingcheng's eyes were filled with hatred...

He will remember for the rest of his life what his mother did to him today!

"Lu Xingcheng, come here!"

Wen Qiqi ordered.

Lu Xingcheng is her adopted son, so naturally he has to listen to her in public.

"Mother……"

Lu Xingcheng felt very aggrieved and walked up to Wen Qiqi with his head down.

"Mother, I don't know how I have offended you. Perhaps, I am marrying above my station and shouldn't like Qin Yu... Mother, don't be angry. I was wrong!"

What a sensible and obedient person, what a compromising person!

In this scene, in front of the Empress Dowager, the more realistically he acted, the more miserable his defeat would be by Wen Qiqi.

"You are my son, and you are going to marry my niece. Why don't you tell me that you have a hidden illness?"

Wen Qiqi stared at Lu Xingcheng with his eyes fixed. He panicked and looked quickly at his father.

Lu Zhanyao clenched his fists, having already made up his mind not to admit it even if he died.

Only Aunt Mei, Old Madam Lu, and Lu Shengshi knew that Xingcheng was ill...

This matter was most likely something that Lu Shengshi let slip, or some maid in the old lady's room was reckless enough to tell her!

However, as long as Xingcheng doesn't admit his illness, who would dare to find out?

"Xingcheng is sick? Haha, Qiqi, you must have had a dream last night, right? Xingcheng was just beaten badly by your brother in the last competition... He has recovered now, how can he be sick?"

Lu Zhanyao's meaning was very clear.

Lu Xingcheng quickly said, "Yes, mother, I don't understand why you said I was sick. I am in good health!"

The father and son sang the same tune, making Wen Qiqi's words just now appear to be a pathological act.

The Fourteenth Prince couldn't bear it any longer...

"Empress Dowager, if Lu Xingcheng's illness bothers Qiqi so much, then the Lu family father and son must know about it themselves? So now, is someone deliberately deceiving you? Qiqi, tell me, what disease did Lu Xingcheng have?"

Lu Zhanyao raised his eyes and looked at the Fourteenth Prince!

The Fourteenth Prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you want to bully Qiqi, you have to get past me first."

Wen Qiqi knew that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao were considering her future, but she and the Lu family had no future at all!

Exposing Lu Xingcheng’s hidden illness was just the first thing to do today.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Xiao, Sixth Princess...Everything Qiqi said is true! Lu Xingcheng is my adopted son, but he suffers from a disease that prevents him from growing up! This disease cannot be cured!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!

Lu Zhanyao looked at Wen Qiqi fiercely. If the Empress Dowager and others were not sitting in front of him, he would really slap Wen Qiqi hard!

Lu Xingcheng lowered his head and bit his lips hard!

The mother actually revealed her hidden illness in public!

Wen Qiqi, from now on, you and I will be irreconcilable. If one day I, Lu Xingcheng, become successful, I will be the first to take your life!

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically and she swallowed subconsciously.

"Master Yu, what's going on?"

Lord Yu has been saying a lot of good things about Lu Xingcheng in front of the Empress Dowager these days. He has close contacts with Lu Zhanyao. Could it be that Lord Yu doesn't know that Lu Xingcheng is ill?

Lord Yu looked embarrassed, after all, he was not a complete man!

Now that Wen Qiqi said "cannot grow up" so loudly, it undoubtedly made Master Yu very embarrassed...

"Empress Dowager, I really don't know about this matter, but from my point of view, it's hard to say whether it's true or not! There are always cases of mothers and sons not getting along in every mansion. Could it be that Miss Qiqi has some disagreement with her adopted son... and wants to destroy the child in public?"

Lord Yu whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear...

The Queen Mother's eyes dimmed: "Find an imperial physician!"

"Empress Dowager!"

Lu Xingcheng fell to his knees with a plop!

"Mother has humiliated and wronged me for what happened today! I can't live any longer! If I ask the imperial physician to diagnose my pulse in public, I might as well ask for death... and do what Mother wants!"

After saying that, Lu Xingcheng actually slammed hard into the carved stone pillar in front of the Empress Dowager!

Instantly, blood oozes out of the child's forehead, scaring everyone so much that they rush to calm the Queen Mother and Concubine Xiao. The Sixth Princess is furious: "What is this for? How can my birthday party be so chaotic!"

Everyone rushed forward and helped the unconscious Lu Xingcheng up.

Lu Zhanyao burst into tears on the spot, saying frankly that if she were a mother, she would not bear to see her child so miserable.

Everyone was talking about it, and some suspected that Wen Qiqi was really like what Lord Yu said, and must have had a conflict with the child, so she wanted to take this opportunity to completely overthrow her adopted son.

Some people also suspected that what Wen Qiqi said was true. The father and son of the Lu family ignored Qin Yu's happiness and concealed the illness, which angered Wen Qiqi.

"Mother...if I die, mother won't have to be so calculating towards me. Xingcheng is not a good person, which is why mother hates him so much...wuwuwu..."

Lu Xingcheng cried very miserably.

Wen Qiqi looked at him coldly, without even going forward to say a word of comfort.

"Lu Xingcheng, I originally thought you just had a hidden illness and didn't want to marry Qin Yu to you. Now it seems that you still lack a sense of family and country! In front of the Empress Dowager, you are tossing and turning like this, banging yourself to death, disturbing the Empress Dowager, can you afford it?"

"I... I really don't want to live anymore. I treat my mother as my own biological mother, but she wants to harm me! Mother, why?"

Right now, Lu Xingcheng’s only hope is to soften the Empress Dowager’s heart with tears.

You know, the Empress Dowager was born out of wedlock, and was raised by her own mother...

Lu Zhanyao had already told his son about this matter, so today, Lu Xingcheng would fight to the death to defeat his mother in front of the Empress Dowager!
