After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Lu Qianrou is Captured, to Everyone’s Delight

Upon seeing that light brown oiled paper, Jiang Ting standing to the side shivered all over, almost unable to believe it.

This packet was once personally retrieved by her; no one knew the contents better than she did.

Lu Qianrou’s eyes suddenly widened in shock, her face instantly paling to the color of paper.

"You, how could you know about..." Lu Qianrou seemed to realize something, her lips trembling as she spoke.

"Did Mrs. Wang tell you? So that day, she didn’t actually... No wonder, no wonder Third Brother was fine the next day and just left for Shengjing!"

"No, she indeed laced Third Brother’s watermelon juice with Lychee Pollen,"

Lu Sheng said coldly, "But as she was about to carry it upstairs, I caught her, so I stopped her and drank the watermelon juice myself."

"As evidence of your intentional poisoning, that cup which held the watermelon juice is still in my room; I have preserved it well."

"Just by sending that glass with dried-up juice residues for a test, we will know if there is anything in it other than watermelon juice."

—What?

Lu Sheng knew that the watermelon juice contained Lychee Pollen, and she actually drank that juice??

And she also kept the cup as evidence, to solidify the accusation of her deliberate poisoning??

Lu Qianrou’s eyes bulged even wider, filled with disbelief.

"Lychee Pollen?" Lu Jingyan knit his brows, looking at Lu Sheng with some confusion, "Shengsheng, what are you talking about? What is that?"

"Big Brother should still remember, there was a time when Lu Qianrou once had large red patches on her face?"

Lu Sheng indifferently glanced at Lu Qianrou, saying, "Initially, the person meant to have those red patches was supposed to be me."

"Lychee Flower is a toxic flower that grows in the dense forests of the south; accidental contact with its pollen can cause rashes. Ingestion can lead to extensive red patches appearing on the face and body."

"Those afflicted by Lychee Flower poison will not be diagnosed with it even at the hospital; doctors will only classify it as an allergy. But common allergy medication is useless. Without the antidote, those red blotches won’t fade for three months."

"The day before Shengjing started its new term, Lu Qianrou once served me red bean porridge mixed with Lychee Pollen. I overheard what she said in the dining room."

"This poison doesn’t affect me, so even after drinking the porridge, I was fine. As for herself, she must have accidentally come into contact with it, which is why she developed red patches on her face."

Hearing this, Lu Jingyan could not help but take a deep breath.

"Are you saying that just a few days after you returned to the Lu Family, Lu Qianrou tried to poison you with this substance, and you’ve known about it all this time?"

Seeing Lu Sheng nod her head, Lu Jingyan’s chest heaved with barely concealed shock: "Shengsheng, with such a thing happening, why didn’t you tell Big Brother right away?"

Lu Sheng replied, "At the time, I had just arrived at the Lu Family, and Big Brother was busy with work every day. I didn’t want to trouble Big Brother."

Hearing this, Lu Jingyan, Lu Siyan, and Lu Youye, all present in the room, simultaneously revealed a look of distress in their eyes.

Even faced with being poisoned, this young girl suffered through it silently, all on her own. Had it not been for today’s incident, she probably would have continued to bear it silently and not told anyone.

Thinking further, during the time she returned to the Lu Family, who knows what kind of bullying and grievances she suffered at Lu Qianrou’s hands, yet she never mentioned it to anyone.

Truly sensible, to the point of breaking one’s heart.

"Shengsheng..." Lu Youye, always the most emotional, couldn’t help but walk over and take Lu Sheng’s hand.

Even the usually aloof and indifferent Lu Siyan’s expression softened as he gently patted Lu Sheng’s head.

Lu Sheng did not say that the Lychee Pollen was brought in by Jiang Ting, nor did she say that the poisoning was a scheme planned together by Jiang Ting and Lu Qianrou.

She had just mentioned the dining room, and Jiang Ting must have realized that she knew the truth of the matter, but she had not called her out.

In this way, she was intentionally helping Jiang Ting hide the incident, keeping her in her debt for future leverage.

Furthermore, at this moment, Jiang Ting was more afraid than anyone of the others knowing about the incident, certainly not going to show any mercy to Lu Qianrou.

"No! That Lychee Pollen isn’t something I brought in, this is clearly..."

Lu Qianrou tried to hurry and defend herself, but Jiang Ting, quickly coming to her senses, rushed over and slapped Lu Qianrou fiercely: "Shut your mouth!"

She cursed furiously, glaring viciously at Lu Qianrou, showing no hint of her usual affectionate demeanor: "You little wretch, do you think you still have the right to spout nonsense?!"
