The two were lying side by side in the grass. Jiang Meier had been stabbed in the waist, and there was blood all over her body. She had completely fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Jingchuan lay there panting heavily, his body also covered in blood, his right hand still trembling as he gripped a dagger, his eyes bloodshot, and his entire being exuding a chilling aura…

Seeing Song Qingqian, his thoughts seemed to return somewhat, and he murmured:

"Lady..."

"Lu Jingchuan, what's wrong?"

Song Qingqian quickly helped him up and spoke anxiously.

But upon touching Lu Jingchuan, she was startled by his burning body temperature. After a moment, she reacted and spoke:

"She drugged you?"

Lu Jingchuan nodded: "My body is somewhat out of control..."

"Mei'er..."

"Mei'er..."

Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Yicheng came looking for them. Their calls were not filled with panic or worry, but rather with a sense of triumphant joy.

Lu Jingchuan leaned close to Song Qingqian's ear and pleaded, "My wife, take me away!"

"If you had rejected her earlier, none of this would have happened. You wouldn't be suffering like this now. If you ask me, you deserve it."

Song Qingqian complained unhappily, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come looking for you. I would have let you two be a pair of star-crossed lovers. If you are discovered tomorrow, I can bury you in the same pit, so that you can die together even if you were born at different times."

"My wife is rambling nonsense. I didn't touch her, but I wish I could kill her..."

Lu Jingchuan's words were unclear, but he still tried to explain with difficulty. He tried to grab Song Qingqian's hand, but he was powerless to do so.

After venting her anger, Song Qingqian felt relieved. She pulled the dagger from Lu Jingchuan's hand, wiped it clean with his clothes in disgust, and put it away. Before the Jiang family arrived, she quickly helped Lu Jingchuan back to the carriage.

The carriage was parked in a corner on the side of the house. Although it was overgrown with weeds, many of them had been trampled down over time, so when Song Qingqian helped Lu Jingchuan up, no one noticed.

"Do you know what kind of aphrodisiac this is that's so potent?"

While rummaging through Lu Jingchuan's clothes, Song Qingqian asked him questions. Just to be on the safe side, she had just given Lu Jingchuan an antidote pill, but whether it would work was still unknown.

There have been hundreds of aphrodisiacs throughout history, but if the wrong one is used, the effects may not last long.

"I don't know either, I just suddenly smelled a strange fragrance."

Song Qingqian was speechless and began to cooperate in changing Lu Jingchuan's clothes. In an instant, Old Madam Jiang's scream echoed throughout the entire manor.

"Mei'er, my poor daughter, doctor... doctor..."

"Help! Murder!"

"My God..."

After finally managing to remove the blood-stained clothes from Lu Jingchuan's body, Song Qingqian was already panting heavily.

Lu Jingchuan raised his hand and instantly realized that he could move. He then moved his feet and found that he could move them freely, but for some reason, he still couldn't suppress the heat in his body.

Song Qingqian tossed the clothes to him, saying with disdain, "Since you can move, put them on yourself."

"My wife, I still feel unwell. Will this medicine work?"

"Don't you know whether it works or not?"

Song Qingqian retorted irritably, "How would I know what kind of miraculous medicine Jiang Meier is using? It's already quite good that you can move. It will probably take time to completely detoxify."

"Oh!"

Lu Jingchuan wasn't angry at being scolded. He sat up and put on a new outer robe.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yicheng had brought soldiers over, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He then pounced on Song Qingqian, trapping her beneath him, and covered the two of them with his outer robe.

Song Qingqian was a little dazed when she was tackled, but she was even angrier. This Lu Jingchuan had provoked Jiang Meier, and now he was provoking her. He was simply courting death!

She raised her leg and forcefully nudged Lu Jingchuan, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Song Qingqian, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Who told you to take advantage of me? If you dare do it again, I'll cripple you!"

No sooner had Song Qingqian finished speaking than Jiang Yicheng's voice rang out from outside the carriage:

"Sir, it was Lu Jingchuan who tried to murder Mei'er. You must seek justice for Mei'er..."

"Mei'er just wanted Lu Jingchuan to help her, but she didn't expect him to want to kill her to silence her."

"My lord, poor Mei'er's fate is now unknown. You must punish her severely and make Lu Jingchuan take responsibility for Mei'er..."

Lu Yunqi ran over quickly and blocked the carriage, retorting, "Don't make false accusations. How could my third son kill Jiang Meier?"

"Lu Jingchuan was always with Mei'er, so who else could have killed her if not him?"

Upon hearing that Lu Jingchuan had committed murder, Sun Wuyin immediately became alert, which is why he came personally to arrest Lu Jingchuan.

Once he's brought to justice, Sun Wuyin will immediately order Lu Jingchuan's complete annihilation, then report the matter to the court. At that point, he can receive a substantial reward—just thinking about it makes him happy…

He then coldly rebuked, "Lu Jingchuan, come out now! Don't think you can escape responsibility by hiding in the carriage!"

"If you don't come out now, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Sun Wuyin ordered Li Cong to pull Lu Yunqi away and throw him aside, then he used his longsword to directly lift the curtain of the carriage.

Suddenly, an ambiguous scene unfolded inside the carriage, catching everyone's eye.

Lu Jingchuan's inner shirt was wide open and loosely draped over his shoulders, revealing his strong and powerful chest and firm eight-pack abs.

His outer robe sturdily covered Song Qingqian's body, revealing only her long, waterfall-like hair.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, you can get lost!"

Lu Jingchuan spoke with a sinister tone, then straightened his inner garments and picked up his cane to support himself as he got off the carriage.

Not only was Sun Wuyin stunned, but everyone standing outside was shocked.

This... Lu Jingchuan's leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, and he's already so eager to consummate their marriage in the carriage?

The old lady excitedly grasped Bai's hand and muttered, "Is it true? Pinch me quickly."

“Mother-in-law, it’s true, the person in the carriage is indeed the third son’s wife.”

After tidying her hair, Song Qingqian sat blankly in the carriage, almost cursing Lu Jingchuan's ancestors for eighteen generations.

That scoundrel is treacherous and cunning; he actually dared to scheme against her. Just wait until she gets rid of his bones and boils them into soup...

Jiang Yicheng said anxiously, "Sir, don't be fooled by Lu Jingchuan. He killed Mei'er. He's lying to you..."

Lu Jingchuan frowned and asked in confusion, "Jiang Meier is dead? How did she die? Wasn't she perfectly fine when she first went back?"

"Lu Jingchuan, don't play dumb, you did it!"

"What a joke! I have no grudge against her, why would I kill a woman?"

Jiang Yicheng spoke anxiously, "You must have been tempted by her beauty and wanted to take advantage of Mei'er. Mei'er refused to submit, so you became enraged and wanted to kill her..."

Lu Jingchuan sneered and clapped his hands loudly, mocking, "Your imagination is quite rich, but unfortunately, it's all talk and no action."

"Besides, is Jiang Meier pretty? Perhaps she is pretty in your eyes, but in my eyes, Lu Jingchuan, she is not even one ten-thousandth as pretty as my wife."
