Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Xiang was furious and wished for nothing more than to rush over and tear Qiao Xi’s mouth apart. At this time, Qiao Xi was actually still spouting nonsense in front of everyone!
Lu Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. As long as his grandfather was unconscious, Gu Zheng could not partic.i.p.ate in the ancestral worship ceremony. As for who caused his grandfather to be unconscious, it was no longer important. The entire Lu family was his. Could it be that Gu Zheng could cause a scene in the ancestral hall in front of everyone?
“If Old Master Lu doesn’t wake up, Gu Zheng can’t forcefully enter the ancestral hall. But who says Old Master Lu won’t wake up?” As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she tapped her palm with her finger.
She slowly looked up and pointed not far away with a smile. “Quick, take a look. Isn’t Old Master Lu here?”
Lu Yan’s body trembled as he subconsciously turned around. His body suddenly stiffened, and his ears buzzed.
Everyone from the Lu family also looked in the direction Qiao Xi pointed, and they were all dumbstruck.
At this moment, Old Master Lu was slowly walking over with the help of the family doctor. His eyes were a little confused, but he was in a very good state. Behind him were people from the Medical a.s.sociation.
Lu Yan gasped as if a huge rock was blocking his heart. He suddenly reacted and looked at Qiao Xi with a sharp gaze. Her eyes were filled with the pride of victory as she smiled sweetly at him.
Lu Yan’s pupils suddenly constricted. He could not even believe the scene in front of him. How did Grandpa suddenly wake up?
Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi must have done something, or was it someone from the Medical a.s.sociation who cured his grandfather?
“Oh! Ah Zheng, the old master is awake! This is great! You can partic.i.p.ate in the ancestral worship ceremony now!” Qiao Xi chuckled.
Gu Zheng gently stroked the top of Qiao Xi’s head and said softly in her ear, “That’s all thanks to Mrs. Gu.”
Qiao Xi blinked her big watery eyes and waved her hand in embarra.s.sment. “What does this have to do with me? I just spoke up for you. I have to thank Old Master Lu. If he hadn’t fought to wake up at this moment, we would’ve been chased away.”
The smile in Gu Zheng’s eyes grew wider. He understood in his heart that Lu Bai suddenly woke up because… Mrs. Gu wanted him to wake up. Otherwise, he would’ve continued to sleep.
Seeing that the head of the family was awake, the Lu family went forward. Lu Xiang asked with concern, “Dad, why did you come out when you just woke up?”
“Old Master! You came at the right time. The ancestral worship ceremony is about to start.”
“Didn’t they say that the old master was unconscious? Why did he suddenly wake up? Is it because the people from the Medical a.s.sociation are here?”
Lu Yan pursed his lips tightly, and his thoughts raced. His grandfather was indeed awake, and everyone had seen him. There was no way to deny it, but if the person who caused his grandfather to faint was Gu Zheng… As long as his grandfather said in public that Gu Zheng poisoned him, Gu Zheng would be expelled from the Lu family for attempting to kill his grandfather. He would still be unable to attend the ancestral worship ceremony.
At the thought of this, Lu Yan shot Lu Xiang a look. Lu Xiang hurriedly asked, “Dad, the doctor said that you should have woken up a long time ago. Why did you only wake up today? Could it be that… someone poisoned you?”
The family doctors and people from the Medical a.s.sociation had strange expressions. They were speechless.
At this moment, Old Master Lu had already recovered his senses. He also understood what Lu Xiang meant and could not help but look at Gu Zheng. This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually dared to attend the ancestral worship ceremony?
So what if he woke up? Gu Zheng still could not enter the ancestral hall to pay respects to their ancestors!
Lu Bai had been the head of the Lu family for decades. He knew what Lu Xiang and Lu Yan meant. Whether they had evidence or not, they had to push the blame on Gu Zheng.
He was about to speak when he suddenly felt his throat become constricted as if it was blocked by a foreign object. He could not say a word and lost control of his body. His body was extremely stiff. He had clearly used all his strength, and his face was red, but he still could not say a word.
Seeing that the old master did not speak for a long time, Lu Xiang started to become anxious. She hurriedly gestured to Fifth Uncle, who was beside her. Fifth Uncle roared, “So, it was you who poisoned the head of the family, causing him to suddenly fall unconscious. Gu Zheng! How can you be so heartless?”
The Lu family had many members, and they were a little far away from Old Master Lu. It was unknown if he had spoken or not. When they heard Fifth Uncle’s angry roar, they thought that Old Master Lu had spoken up to testify against Gu Zheng, so they all looked at him.
Lu Xiang hurriedly accused, “Gu Zheng, you actually dared to poison your biological grandfather. My father is old, and his body can’t take it anymore, yet you poisoned him to kill him! If the doctors from the Medical a.s.sociation hadn’t come today, my father might not have woken up!”
