The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2635: Chapter 119: Slap on the Face

Li Mengru gave her a provocative look when she saw this.

This instantly put Li Luru on guard. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Once the rooms of the few concubines had more or less been searched, Li Mengru said, "Isn’t it about time we searched Li Luru’s room?"

The Eldest Young Madam Li said, "We haven’t even been searched yet, how does it get to Third Sister’s turn?"

Li Mengru just waved her hand. "It’s fine. From eldest to youngest, or youngest to eldest, it’s all the same. If Third Sister hasn’t done anything, then starting with her is no big deal, is it, Sister-in-law?"

The Eldest Young Madam Li was left with nothing to say.

Seeing everyone standing there stunned, Li Mengru sneered. "What’s wrong, is there really something shameful in Third Sister’s room? Or is it that you just can’t bear to have it searched?"

These past days she had been constantly squeezed and calculated against by Li Mengru, and today had been more of the same. Even with the best temper Li Luru would have lost her patience, let alone the fact that her temper was never that good to begin with. At those words, she suddenly reached out and seized Li Mengru’s neck with both hands.

She moved so fast that many people didn’t even react in time.

And once they did react, because of her current status, no one dared step forward to pull her away. As for Concubine Sun, she was being held back by others.

"Li Luru, what are you doing, flying into a rage out of guilt?"

"Li Luru, choking her to death won’t help you. If it really was you, no one will be able to protect you."

Li Luru only flicked her a glance, heh. She just wanted to teach a lesson to someone who’d been barking so fiercely all this time—who said she was flying into a rage out of guilt?

When she saw that Li Mengru’s face in her grip had turned red from suffocation, she finally let go, then pulled out her own handkerchief and wiped her hands, after which she tossed it into the nearby pond as if she were throwing away something filthy. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Only then did she beckon to the others. Weren’t they so eager to search her courtyard? Come on, search.

Once they reached Li Luru’s courtyard, Li Mengru and her mother were like people injected with chicken blood, so excited it was almost ridiculous.

There was no need for Yang Aoshuang to even speak; Li Mengru pointed at the chests and cabinets in the room. "You, you, and you—go in and search for me. Remember, don’t leave a single corner unchecked."

Concubine Sun’s eyes rolled and she chuckled. "I’ll help too."

"Hold it!" Yang Aoshuang raised her hand. "You stand right there and behave yourself. You’re not qualified to touch Third Girl’s things. Besides, who knows whether someone as vicious as you would take the chance to slip something inside?"

"I..." Concubine Sun gave a cold laugh or two, then moved off to the side.

Concubine Feng and the others also said nothing, just stood off to one side, though in their hearts they were all but laughing these two mother and daughter to death.

No matter whether anything was found or not, the Old Master was gone now. The ones in charge were the Madam and the Eldest Young Master. Even if you two want to overturn the sky, you still have to see whether those in charge feel like cooperating.

"Madam, what is this?" Before long, a maid came out from the inner room holding a medicine packet.

Concubine Sun saw that familiar red paper wrapping and giggled. "So they really did find something, huh? Madam, if you ask me, your kindness needs a limit. You bring something like that back, and in the end you let her use it to harm the Old Master."

"The Old Master’s death makes you very happy?" Yang Aoshuang shot back at her.

Concubine Sun’s face changed. "H-how could that be, the Old Master’s body is barely cold, my heart aches."

"I haven’t seen your heart ache. All I’ve seen is that the curve of your smiling mouth is a little too high." Yang Aoshuang slapped her hand on the table. "Go, slap her mouth. She still dares to laugh at a time like this?"

The old servant women at her side obeyed at once. "Pa-pa..."

Li Mengru wanted to intervene. "Madam, shouldn’t the focus right now be this medicine packet? Doesn’t the poisoner deserve a mouth-slapping more than my concubine mother does?"

"Open it and see what’s inside."
