After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning genuinely found Lu Xicheng's words strange.

What does he know?

He simply can't understand it.

Lu Bei walked over and said, "Little sister, are you worried about the court hearing tomorrow? Don't worry, Qin Xiang's father won't know."

Lu Liu chimed in, "Yes, the paternity test has proven everything. The Qin family are nothing but a bunch of ingrates."

Lu Ning forced a smile, revealing a reluctant expression.

Lu Dongyou was somewhat impatient: "Lu Ning, everyone has already worked very hard, staying up all night to keep watch over us, all for our parents' sake. It's not just you who's making sacrifices."

Lu Ning looked up and stared coldly at Lu Dongyou.

Lu Dongyou: "W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Ning stood up, her face stern.

Lu Dongyou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Lu Ning, did I say something wrong? I know you were wronged before, but how long are you going to suffer like that? Are you going to keep this arrogant attitude in front of us forever?"

Lu Ning smirked: "Are you worthy?"

Lu Dongyou: "You..."

Lu Bei pulled Lu Dongyou away, saying, "That's enough. Can't you be a little more magnanimous and act like an older brother?"

Lu Dongyou felt wronged: "As the eldest brother, shouldn't I be more magnanimous? I've tolerated Lu Ning for so long."

"But you're the older brother, can't you be more tolerant of Lu Ning?"

Lu Dongyou felt very aggrieved, but seeing the way his younger brothers looked at him, he ultimately stopped talking.

Lu Nanfeng said cautiously, "Ningning, let's discuss the court hearing. Could you contact Attorney Su? We need to come up with a strategy. It's almost dawn."

Lu Ning took a deep breath. Yes, now is not the time to worry about these things.

Lu Ning took out her phone and called Su Jingbai.

Soon, a man's voice, barely awake, came from the other end of the phone, tinged with anger: "Miss Lu, calling me in the middle of the night, you'd better have something urgent to tell me."

"Qin Xiang is dead."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, Su Jingbai on the other end of the phone was much more awake: "How did he die?"

"Difficult labor."

Lu Ning briefly recounted what had happened.

After hearing this, Su Jingbai immediately cursed: "Damn, are all your brothers brain-dead? Six men can't even have one brain."

The six older brothers present: "..."

Lu Ning snorted coldly: "I'm letting you know in advance so you can make arrangements."

"Yes, the call came just in time. The news of Qin Xiang's death must be kept secret. It absolutely cannot be revealed before the trial ends, otherwise there will definitely be trouble."

Lu Ning said, "That's fine. In such a short time, it's unlikely that it will be exposed."

Su Jingbai took some unexpected measures in response to this matter.

After making the arrangements, Lu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Nanfeng said carefully, "Ningning, you should go back and rest first. You didn't sleep at all last night either."

Lu Ning looked at the horizon and realized it was getting brighter; so it was dawn.

She began, "I'm not going to sleep. After all, today's court hearing is going to be a tough battle, and we can't afford to let our guard down. Also, we absolutely cannot leak any information to the reporters. As for Lu Wu..."

Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Nanfeng and said, "Keep Lu Wu locked up at home and don't let him out."

Lu Ning nodded: "I also think Lu Wu shouldn't come out in public, lest he accidentally let something slip in front of the reporters. Then he'll have to apologize and say he was driven crazy by Qin Xiang's situation."

Upon hearing Lu Ning's sarcastic remarks, Lu Dongyou ultimately decided not to speak after some thought.

At this moment, Qin Xiang was brought out, covered with a white sheet.

When Lu Ning saw Qin Xiang's body, she felt a sense of unreality.

After all, in her past life, she so desperately wanted Qin Xiang to die.

In her past life, when she was kicked out of her home and ended up on the streets, it was Ji Chiqian who gave her a sum of money, which allowed her to leave and start a new life.

Unfortunately, she still chose to go back and settle scores with Qin Xiang, and was eventually locked up in a mental hospital by her older brother.

But now, Qin Xiang is finally dead.

Lu Xicheng walked to Lu Ning's side, looked down at Qin Xiang's corpse, and said in an icy tone, "She deserved to die."

Lu Ning looked at the corpse covered by a white sheet, and when she reached out, Lu Xicheng stopped her.

He frowned: "Don't look. Dead people are ugly, and they'll leave you traumatized."

Lu Ning slowly withdrew her hand.

She watched as Qin Xiang's body was wheeled away: "What about the child? Boy or girl?"

The nurse said, "It's a boy."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Nanfeng: "What do you plan to do about this child?"

Lu Nanfeng replied, "Send them to an orphanage."

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "This child is most likely Gu Yan's. We should try to do a paternity test. If it really is Gu Yan's, we should send him to the Gu family."

Now that Qin Xiang is dead, and that child was born prematurely, if it's a Gu family child, the future shouldn't be too bad.

Lu Dongyou asked in surprise, "Are you so sure the child is Gu Yan's?"

"It's uncertain, that's why they asked us to do a paternity test."

Lu Dongyou answered decisively, "Then there's no need for a paternity test. If it's not Lao Wu's, then it must be Gu Yan's."

Lu Ning's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten about the old butler? The timing matches up, so it's possible that it's the old butler's child."

After she finished speaking, Lu Dongyou and Lu Nanfeng naturally recalled what had happened back then.

Lu Dongyou's expression immediately turned as if he had eaten shit; he never wanted to think about that scene again in his life.

Lu Nanfeng also felt a bit disgusted: "That can't be right."

"Nothing is impossible."

Lu Ning glanced at them, turned and left; she needed to find Su Jingbai to meet up.

Lu Xicheng watched Lu Ning's retreating figure, then turned to Lu Nanfeng and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Lu Nanfeng: "What do you mean, 'what to do'? Wasn't everything already arranged?"

Lu Xicheng: "I'm talking about Qin Xiang and that child who is still alive."

"Didn't we just discuss this? After the lawsuit is over, we'll bury Qin Xiang and send the child to the Gu family."

Lu Nanfeng still felt that the child should be Gu Yan's, after all, the old housekeeper was so old.

Lu Xicheng said in a low voice, "Bury her? Heh, that's too easy on her."

Lu Nanfeng looked up: "What did you say?"

Lu Xicheng pursed his lips: "I said it's too easy on her. This kind of vicious woman has ruined our family like this. She should be ground to dust! And that child should be dealt with too."

Lu Nanfeng said in surprise, "Third brother, murder is illegal."

They expend so much effort to protect their rights using legal means.

If they really did something illegal, or even murder, then how are they any different from the Mo family?

This matter could easily be used against us in the future.

Lu Bei snorted coldly: "Second brother, if murder were not illegal, Qin Xiang and Qin Laoda would have died long ago. How could we tolerate them living to this day?"

Lu Nanfeng grabbed Lu Xicheng: "What do you want to do?"
