Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

After Mei'er took Wu Yiren away, Mother Liu covered her mouth and looked at Xu Huiling in disbelief.

"Madam, could it be..."

Xu Huiling clutched the handrail tightly and said self-deprecatingly, "They've tricked us!"

"But... the Second Young Master has clearly been drugged! Who else could it be?"

"Drug-induced? Can he wake up so quickly after taking the drugs?"

"Madam, the second young master Bai has indeed fallen asleep. Just in case, I tested him. If he was pretending, he would be too calm and too scary." Xiao Han said in horror.

"Xiao Han, when you sent Lu He to the Second Young Madam's bed, were you sure she was asleep?" asked Mother Liu.

Xiao Han hesitated for a moment and said, "He looked like he was asleep, and he was sleeping very soundly. He also drank the soup that Lu He had added some ingredients to."

"Did you see him drink it with your own eyes?" Xu Huiling asked with her eyes wide open.

"No..." Xiao Han said guiltily, "I saw Lu He coming out of the bedroom with an empty bowl, so I guessed he had already drunk it."

Madam Liu was so angry that she kicked him twice and said, "You! You! Why didn't you test whether he was asleep or not? Madam, this must be the Second Young Madam's conspiracy! Just now, I saw that he didn't look drugged at all."

"I really underestimated him. He's so scheming!" Xu Huiling's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"Madam, what should we do now? Lu He must have been captured by the Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress." Madam Liu said with a worried look on her face. "What if Lu He gets too talkative and says I gave her the medicine? We won't be able to escape responsibility either!"

Xu Huiling sneered, "Does anyone believe her? She still has to take the blame! Now that things have come to this, she can forget about the position of Second Young Madam. But this happened in their Bai family, and they must compensate our Wu family for their losses!"

The next morning, Ah Fu heard what happened last night and was terrified.

"Master..."

Bai Xun glanced at him and took the tooth powder from his hand.

Ah Fu knelt down and said angrily, "Master, please punish me! If you don't say anything, I will feel even worse."

Bai Xun said calmly, "Go and bring Lu He to the study."

Ah Fu always felt that what happened last night was not that simple.

When he saw Lu He with her hands and feet tied and her mouth gagged, he became even more certain.

"What's going on?" Ah Fu untied Lu He.

Lu He's eyes were red, her face was pale, and she sat on the ground in a daze.

"Alas, the Second Young Master asked you to go see him."

In the study, Bai Xun sat at the table with an expressionless face, flipping through the account book.

Lu He's face was ashen as she knelt on the ground.

Bai Xun's voice sounded calmly: "Tell me, what's going on? I've treated you well, haven't I? How dare you collude with outsiders to drug me?"

Ah Fu gasped when he heard this.

what?

She actually drugged the second young master?

Lu He's body trembled slightly and tears kept falling.

She bit her lip and said with difficulty, "Second Young Master, that is not a life-threatening medicine. I... I just want you to have a good rest. Aunt Liu from my cousin's courtyard said that the medicine is a tranquilizer and a good Western medicine..."

Bai Xun frowned and interrupted her: "Mother Liu?"

Lu He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the medicine was given to me by Madam Liu. I really didn't intend to harm you!"

Bai Xun sneered and said, "That's really interesting. You drugged me, and then my good cousin and her bodyguard showed up in my study.

If I had drunk the bowl of soup you sent me, I would have been accused of defiling my cousin's innocence! Could it be that you drugged me just for my cousin's sake?

"You...you didn't drink?" Lu He was a little surprised.

"You've served me for so many years, how can I not see that you're feeling guilty? Besides, some of the powder has even spilled on the edge of the bowl."

As they were talking, Butler Bai arrived.

"Second Young Master, the Patriarch wants you to come over. He also said to let Miss Luhe go over and answer the question."

There were quite a few people in the main hall of the courtyard.

As soon as Wu Yiren saw Lu He, she rushed over with red eyes and slapped her hard.

"You bitch! How dare you hurt me!"

Bai Xun frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Madam Bai's face was solemn. "Mother Liu said that Lu He asked her for some tranquilizers a few days ago. Yesterday, Xiao Han passed out after drinking the wine Lu He gave him. He suspected that Lu He had set a trap for him and Yi Ren."

Lu He covered her face, knelt on the ground, and cried out, "I am innocent! I didn't give him any wine! I didn't..."

"No?" Xu Huiling snorted coldly. "Yesterday, the groom, Old Wang, and Xun'er's servant, Ah Fu, both received the wine you gave them. Old Wang even boasted about it everywhere, and many people in the house knew about it."

"This servant... this servant is..."

"What is it? You gave the wine and something happened in Jingyuan. How could it be such a coincidence? If Ah Fu, the servant beside Xun'er, was still sober yesterday, such a thing would never have happened!" Xu Huiling said sternly.

"Aren't those my clothes you're wearing?" Wu Yiren opened her eyes wide and pointed at her and shouted.

Lu He lowered her head, feeling ashamed.

"You stole my clothes and drugged the people around Brother Xun. Brother Xun also felt sleepy after drinking the lotus seed and white fungus soup you gave him... What do you want to do?" Wu Yiren pointed at her and said loudly.

Xu Huiling burst into tears, "You slut! You're so scheming! You drugged everyone around Xun'er and Yiren, deliberately trying to harm Yiren. And then you wanted to pretend to be Yiren and get into Xun'er's bed, right? You really have a plan!"

Several knife-like gazes fell on Lu He, making her terrified.

She was shaking like a sieve, lowering her head, crying and mumbling, "I didn't... I didn't..."

"Head of the family, aunt! You must make a decision for Yiren!" Xu Huiling cried very sadly.

"Xun'er, look..." Old Madam Bai had a severe headache.

"Luhe, this is the only and last chance to defend yourself. It's up to you whether you want it or not." Bai Xun said.

"I...I didn't steal my cousin's clothes. They were given to me by Mama Liu." Lu He said crying.

"You're lying! You and I are not even related, and we've barely spoken. How could I possibly give something belonging to the owner to you? Do you know how expensive this dress is? You couldn't even buy it if I sold it!"

Madam Liu knelt down before Bai Yishui and Old Madam Bai, her eyes red as she said, "Master, Old Madam, if I had the intention of stealing something from the master's house, I would have kept it for myself and sold it for the money. Why would I give it to a little maidservant with whom I have little contact? Am I stupid, or is she stupid?"

"Since coming to the old house, Yiren has lost a lot of her things. Could it be that they were all stolen by this little bitch?" Xu Huiling said in surprise.

Old Madam Bai felt very upset. From top to bottom, there had never been any thieves in the Bai family.

"Mother Lan, take people to search the Green Lotus Room!"
