The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

After saying that, she bowed her head lightly, her decision made clear.

Seeing this, Lu Ming felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, but it turned into deeper worry.

"Lin Wanqing, you...why are you so stubborn?"

Lin Wanqing said nothing, but just kowtowed firmly.

The old lady looked at her, a glint of approval and helplessness flashing in her eyes, and finally she sighed softly.

"Well, if you've made up your mind, then go ahead. Just remember to be careful and return safely."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a glint of gratitude and determination flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your help, mother. I will be careful."

She stood up and looked at Lu Ming with some comfort and determination in her eyes.

"Lu Ming, I'll leave the affairs of the mansion and my mother's well-being to you. I believe you can do better."

Lu Ming looked at her calmly, but the worry in his heart did not decrease because of her decision.

He nodded slightly in response to her request.

On the other side, Su Qiaoer was preparing to feed medicine to the old lady.

Lin Wanqing's keen intuition made her suspicious of the bowl of medicine, and she stepped forward lightly.

She said to the old lady in a gentle voice, "Mother, please let me take a look at this medicine first."

After saying that, she took the medicine bowl from Su Qiaoer's hand, sniffed it gently, and frowned slightly.

"Qiao'er, this medicine seems to contain several unusual herbs, and the aroma is too strong. Grandmother is weak, so I'm afraid it's not suitable for her to take it suddenly."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Lin Wanqing's words, and he glanced sharply at Su Qiaoer.

Su Qiaoer's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"Mother, you're worrying too much. This prescription was written by a famous doctor in the city, specifically for the old lady's recovery."

Seeing this, the old lady also felt a little doubtful.

"Qiao'er, Wanqing is also being cautious. Let's put this medicine aside for now and make a decision after consulting the doctor tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and gently placed the medicine bowl on the table.

Lin Wanqing gently stroked the slightly cool rim of the bowl and looked at Su Qiaoer with complicated eyes.

"Qiao'er, I'm not being unfoundedly suspicious, but Grandmother's health cannot afford any mistakes. Since you said the prescription was written by a famous doctor, you should be even more cautious and ensure it's correct."

Su Qiaoer's eyes were slightly red as she gently stroked her belly which was not yet showing.

Her tears revealed a sense of grievance and determination. "Husband, Mother, how could I harm Grandmother? This prescription was indeed given by a famous doctor, and I brewed it myself, just to show my filial piety. Now that I am pregnant with the Lu family's child, how could I do such a heinous thing?"

The old lady felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She looked at Lin Wanqing and then at Su Qiaoer, unable to make a decision for a moment.

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath.

Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with disbelief and indignation.

"Lin Wanqing, what do you mean? Are you suspecting Qiao'er will harm Grandmother? She carries the blood of the Lu family and works hard day and night just for this family. How can you make such groundless speculations!"

After saying this, Su Qiaoer's body swayed slightly, she covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and frowned.

It was as if she had really had a miscarriage. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her look even more pitiful.

"Husband, I... I just want grandma to get better soon, how could... how could..."

Her words were intermittent, full of grievance and helplessness.

Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly reached out to help Su Qiaoer, her eyes full of heartache and anxiety.

"Qiao'er, sit down and rest quickly, don't hurt yourself."

At this moment, Lu Ming stood in front of Lin Wanqing.

"Lin Wanqing, do you think I don't know your intentions? Qiao'er works day and night to treat her grandmother's illness, and you still want to frame her like this!"

"If it weren't for you, how could Grandmother be in a coma until now? Can't you just be more at peace and stop getting yourself into trouble!"

Lin Wanqing sneered.

"I didn't know you could be so cruel to me, your wife. When you defend the Su family, have you ever considered the feelings of your father who is out there helping with disaster relief?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Ming looked gloomy.

Su Qiaoer raised her eyes and tried to dissuade him softly.

"Husband, forget it. Mother is probably too worried about Grandma's condition, that's why she's so excited. I'm fine."

"Qiao'er, it's all my fault. Lie down quickly."

The old lady's eyes were filled with guilt and heartache. She held Su Qiaoer's hands and helped her to the couch.

"Qiao'er, you must take care of yourself. Grandmother's life depends on you."

Su Qiaoer forced a faint smile, stroking her belly, and replied, "Yes, I understand, Grandma."

Lin Wanqing stood silently aside, watching Su Qiaoer's performance.

Seeing that Lin Wanqing was still immersed in grief, Su Qiaoer's eyes flashed with a smile of triumph.

Lin Wanqing shook his head silently.

"You added too many supplements to Mother's medicine. It won't do her any good if she takes too much!"

"You...you are so slanderous!"

Su Qiaoer widened her eyes, seeming to be very angry.

She pointed at Lin Wanqing, her face pale and her lips trembling.

"You...you actually accused me of harming my grandmother, you..."

Her words were intermittent and she sounded extremely weak.

Seeing this, everyone frowned.

"Who is this woman? She's so vicious!"

Everyone was talking about it, showing contempt and disgust towards Su Qiaoer.

Lin Wanqing glanced at the crowd with disdain, thinking that these ignorant people knew nothing at all.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't put anything in your mother's medicine?"

Lin Wanqing stared at Su Qiaoer with an aggressive look.

Su Qiaoer gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Wanqing hatefully.

"Hmph! Don't try to frame me. I didn't do it!"

"Never? Well, let's ask a medical officer to come and verify. If there really is something extra in Mother's medicine, I'm sure the medical officer will be able to find it."

"Okay, then I'll let the medical officer verify it!"

Su Qiaoer agreed without hesitation.

Lin Wanqing curled the corners of his lips slightly.

"Where is the medical officer? Please come to the old lady's courtyard as soon as possible to verify."

Lin Wanqing shouted for help, and soon a maid came in with several medical officers.

After the medical officer saluted, he respectfully inquired about the old lady's condition.

After Lin Wanqing answered, he presented the old lady's recent symptoms and prescription to the medical officer.

After careful examination, the medical officer finally determined that some ingredients in the prescription were indeed excessively added.

Moreover, the herbs in the prescription are exactly the most important herbs that the old lady takes.

Now, there might be something fishy about the old lady’s medicine.

"Madam, please take a look." The medical officer handed the prescription to the old lady.

When the old lady took the prescription and looked at it, her pupils dilated instantly and her whole face became extremely ugly.

"You...you..." She pointed at everyone, her breathing quickened, and she seemed very angry.

"Mother!" Lu Ming rushed to the old lady in panic.

"Mother, don't be angry. Let's wait for the medical officer's results before we decide."

Su Qiaoer came over at the right time and comforted him softly.

"Okay, okay, you wait!"

The old lady sat up tremblingly, supporting herself on the bed with her hands.

Lu Ming hurriedly supported the old lady to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Mother, please be careful. I'll help you rest on the couch for a while."

"No, I want to wait for the results!"

The old lady became stubborn and no one could stop her.
