After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Uncle Fu stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

He could tell that Lu Lingchen's poisoning and fainting hadn't affected Lu Ting's mood much, but there was something he had to say.

"Sir, several uncles and elders from the Lu family have just visited the Third Young Master and are on their way to the Lu family now."

Lu Ting slowly suppressed his smile, his tone turning slightly somber: "What does it have to do with them!"

He looked up at Lu Sijian and put on a smile again. "Sijian, you were quite frightened last night. Go out and go shopping with your friends today to clear your head."

He knew perfectly well why the Lu family's uncles and elders had come over.

Most likely, they were instigated by Lu Lingjun, who believed that Lu Lingchen's poisoning was caused by Lu Sijian, and came to confront him.

Lu Ting has always been tough, and his uncles and elders never had a say in front of him.

Back when he insisted on grooming his youngest daughter to join the group, those old fogies had once caused trouble, relying on their status as elders.

However, they all lost face that time and were kicked out of the house by Lu Ting. The younger members of the family who worked in the group were all demoted.

Lu Ting is ruthless and heartless, and once the elders realized they couldn't cause any more trouble, they became much more subdued.

Later, Lu Sijian voluntarily relinquished her position as heir to Lu Lingjun, and the two lived in peace for many years.

Lu Ting didn't want his daughter to be scolded, so he advised her to go out and avoid the limelight, saying, "Those old men are stubborn and inflexible, you don't need to pay them any attention."

Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment: "Is it really appropriate to let Miss go shopping at this time?"

“It’s not really a good idea.” Lu Ting, reminded of the suggestion, considered for a moment. “Then why don’t you go to the Junting Hotel? You can get a spa treatment there, and the privacy is excellent…”

Lu Sijian felt that the idea was nice, but the reality was definitely harsh.

[Usually at times like this, the more I try to hide and avoid trouble, the more likely I am to get caught red-handed...]

She looked towards the gate, got up, and walked over.

Outside the door, Lou Xiao withdrew his gaze, walked past the several uncles who were eavesdropping, pushed open the half-closed door, and walked in, subtly shielding Lu Sijian behind him.

Several uncles and elders walked in and immediately saw Lu Ting in the middle of the living room.

Their faces were etched with obvious anger; they had all heard it from outside the door!

"Lu Ting, at this critical juncture, you actually want Si Jian to hide away and avoid the storm?"

"Ling Chen is lying in the hospital, his life hanging in the balance, and you not only ignore him, but now you're only concerned with comforting Si Jian! How can you be so heartless!"

"Put your hands on your heart and ask yourself, how can you treat your three sons so harshly? How can you face Jian Jun?"

Lou Xiao said softly, "Ah Jian, you go back to your room first."

The anger of her uncles and elders is unlikely to be quelled anytime soon, so it would be good for Lu Sijian to step away for a while.

Lu Sijian glanced at him, then turned around without much hesitation and prepared to go upstairs.

An uncle with sharp eyes saw Lu Sijian trying to sneak away and hurriedly went forward to pull her away.

"Where do you think you can hide? All the misfortunes that have befallen the Lu family today are your doing!"

The other person was very strong and stubborn. He was dragged up several steps by Lu Sijian and pulled her even harder.

Lu Sijian's wrist was pulled painfully, but she gritted her teeth and climbed a few more steps.

[Fine, since you won't let me go, then don't blame me for being impolite!]

Lou Xiao had a bad feeling; it was too unsafe for them to be pulling and tugging like that on the stairs.

With a loud bang, the potted plants on both sides of the steps were accidentally kicked by Lu Sijian, rolled down and smashed to pieces.

Lu Sijian suddenly looked panicked, her voice trembling with tears, "Daddy, I'm going to fall! Help me!"

As she was speaking, Lu Sijian lost her balance and fell downwards.

Lou Xiao rushed forward to try and support her.

But Lu Sijian pushed him in her panic, and he couldn't catch her.

Lu Ting arrived just in time and shielded his daughter with his body. Due to the enormous impact, he also rolled down the slope.

However, he always remembered to protect his daughter from harm, holding Lu Sijian firmly in his arms.

"Ah Jian, are you alright?" Lu Ting asked with concern.

Lu Sijian had a cut on her palm and her face was very pale.

Lu Ting was immediately enraged: "What do you uncles mean by this? You're scaring a little girl so badly, are you trying to make her fall down the stairs to her death?"

The uncle was also frightened, but being so old, he absolutely refused to admit that he had made a mistake: "I only gave her a light tug, and she fell down. Lou Xiao clearly caught her. Who knows if she deliberately framed this old man!"

That's right, that's exactly it, Lu Sijian deliberately framed her!

He became more and more self-righteous as he spoke, "Stop with your pathetic little tricks, they're shameful!"

The others also chimed in.

"You've always been a victor for favor since you were little. Your three older brothers couldn't compete with you, which is why they've suffered so much because of you."

"Now you've even framed us old men, what do you take us for?"

"Ling Jun is too upright, and Ling Chen is too naive, which is why you have caused them such a terrible situation."

"You troublemaker, you scoundrel!"

Lou Xiao pursed his lips. He wanted to speak up for Lu Sijian, but he didn't know where to begin.

After all, Lu Sijian did fall on purpose, and her uncles did not wrong her.

He was unwilling to distort the truth, so he could only remain silent.

Lu Ting: "You're turning the tables on her. What reason does she have to do this?"

"Dad!" Lu Sijian suddenly exclaimed, "Your hand is bleeding!"

Lu Ting paused, raised his hand and looked at it. He hadn't noticed before, but there was a large gash in his palm, and blood was dripping from it.

Uncle Fu was also startled. "Sir, we must call the family doctor to handle this!"

Lu Ting was very concerned about his daughter's minor injury, but he didn't care about his own. "It's nothing, just get the first aid kit and bandage me up right away."

He glanced at Lu Sijian's cut hand and urged, "A-Jian's hand injury needs to be treated as soon as possible, hurry up!"

The housekeeper had already rushed over with a first-aid kit and was frantically helping Lu Ting clean up.

Several uncles stood by watching Lu Ting bandage his wounds, and knowing they were in the wrong, they dared not say a word.

The butler and Uncle Fu worked quickly, and soon they had bandaged Lu Ting's hand with gauze.

The small cut on Lu Sijian's hand was also cleaned and iodine was applied.

Lu Ting glanced at Lu Sijian several times, noticing that she kept staring at her own hand, and asked with concern, "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Sijian shook her head. "Dad, what about you?"

Lu Ting was worried that she would feel guilty, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's all better now."

Lu Sijian lowered her gaze.

【Really?I do not believe. 】

She glanced at Lou Xiao beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Brother Xiao, can you help me up? My ankle still hurts a bit."

Lou Xiao was puzzled; what was she planning to do now?

However, this request was not excessive. He reached out to help her up, but felt someone pinch his armpit.

With a loosening of her grip, Lu Sijian fell back down.

In a moment of urgency, Lu Ting reached out and supported Lu Sijian.

He glanced at Lou Xiao with displeasure. How could he not even be able to support someone?
