Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Send Lu Qianrou to Jail! (3)
Lu Qianrou had barely descended the stairs when she saw Mrs. Wang, her face smeared with blood, slumped on the ground, pointing a shaking hand at her—
"I didn’t want to harm Third Young Master and Miss Lu Sheng, either!"
"It was Miss Qianrou who gave me five hundred thousand, she’s the one who told me to do all this!"
What?
Upon hearing those words, Lu Qianrou almost went weak at the knees and toppled down the stairs.
Already anxious because of the terrible deeds she had committed, she had been on tenterhooks since returning to her room, terrified of being exposed.
Now, upon descending the stairs, she witnessed Wang Guiqin actually confessing everything and, to make matters worse, directly implicating her on the spot.
Lu Qianrou’s heart nearly stopped, and she began shaking uncontrollably, unable to rein in her trembling shoulders.
But she had to force herself to remain calm, her eyes bulging with disbelief as she stared at Wang Guiqin.
"Mrs. Wang, what are you talking about?!"
"Are you saying that all the chaos in our house tonight was your doing, and that it was me who ordered you to do it?"
Lu Jingyan, Lu Siyan, Lu Youye, and Jiang Ting had not expected such a turn of events in the dead of the night.
The sight of Wang Guiqin, with a blood-covered face and a weeping, disheveled appearance, had already taken them by surprise, but her accusations had left them even more profoundly shocked.
So, Wang Guiqin was suggesting that none of the night’s events were coincidental or accidental—they were all orchestrated by her, and instigated by Lu Qianrou?
Upon seeing the stunned expressions on Lu Jingyan and the others, Lu Sheng began to explain.
"Big brother, ever since I returned to my room, I’ve been reflecting on tonight’s events."
"Why would the chandelier suddenly explode and cause a blackout? Why did Third Brother just happen to go upstairs to his room before the blackout, and why was he locked in his room and unable to come out during it, which led to his episode? And why was I, of all nights, wearing a red dress that could provoke Third Brother when he was having an episode?"
"Too many coincidences, when stacked together, cannot simply be coincidences."
"The red dress I wore tonight was delivered to my room by one of the household staff before the party, claiming it was a gift from Li Muchen."
"But I’ve confirmed by phone that the dress wasn’t from Li Muchen."
"In other words, someone deliberately wanted me to wear that red dress tonight."
"All of tonight’s events were clearly part of a plot. The whole purpose was to lock Third Brother in his room during the blackout, causing him to have an episode, and then have him attack me while I was wearing the red dress."
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, everyone present inhaled sharply.
Lu Jingyan and the others had thought Lu Sheng just happened to wear the red dress, without suspecting that right from the start it was all part of a conspiracy.
Lu Sheng continued: "Third Brother was compelled to kick down his door when he could not get out of his room; clearly, someone had locked him in during the blackout."
"But during the blackout, the only person not on the first floor was Mrs. Wang."
"So, I went to find her and then discovered this remote control, hidden away in her wardrobe."
"Let’s listen to her explain what exactly happened tonight from the beginning to the end."
After speaking, Lu Sheng glanced at Wang Guiqin, who was kneeling on the ground, void of any emotion in her eyes.
Wang Guiqin shivered under her gaze, a deep fear shaking her to the core.
"...Young Master, madam, indeed, I was responsible for everything tonight, but it was all Miss Qianrou’s scheming and instructions."
"Last night, under the pretense of changing the light bulb, I installed the small bomb Miss Qianrou asked me to buy earlier right into the center of the chandelier."
"Before tonight’s party started, Miss Qianrou had me call a delivery service to bring over the red dress she had prepared, using Mr. Li Muchen’s name as a cover, to give to Miss Lu Sheng."
"After the party began, I waited on the third floor. Miss Qianrou intentionally spilled the drink, staining Third Young Master’s clothes, which forced him to go upstairs and change."
"As soon as Third Young Master entered his room, I locked his door from the outside with the spare key. At the same time, I pressed the detonator button and the entire house went dark."
"I heard Third Young Master trying to open the door unsuccessfully, so I hurried down to the first floor, and it wasn’t until then I heard the Young Master calling me for the emergency light, so I went to get the light."
"Miss Qianrou knew that locking Third Young Master alone in his room during a power outage would definitely trigger his condition. Once everyone realized he wasn’t downstairs, they would surely go up to look for him."
"When the time comes, as long as Third Young Master Li sees Miss Lu Sheng in the red dress, he will definitely want to kill her at all costs."
"In that case, Miss Qianrou’s goal would be achieved. But I really didn’t expect the shards of the chandelier to injure Fourth Young Master. I really didn’t intend to harm Fourth Young Master..."
Wang Guiqin laid all the plans bare.
Lu Jingyan and the others couldn’t believe their eyes as they stared, wide-eyed, at the trembling Lu Qianrou beside them.
And Lu Qianrou herself was blank-minded.
Has Wang Guiqin lost her mind?
Doesn’t she know that by saying these things, she would be accused of intentional murder? And as an accomplice, she would have to go to prison too! 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
It was clear that there would be no record of the person delivering the dress, the order for the bomb had been deleted, there were no cameras on the third floor, and the backup key was available to everyone in the servant’s room.
Even the remote control, without saying it was for the bomb, you wouldn’t be able to tell what kind of remote it is.
The events of tonight were meticulous; at least no evidence was left behind.
Why would she admit to all this? Why would she rat me out?!
Wang Guiqin, of course, knew that speaking these truths would land her in prison as well.
Originally, even if Lu Sheng found the bomb detonator, Wang Guiqin had not planned to admit to anything.
But just before Lu Jingyan and the others went downstairs, Lu Sheng bent down and whispered in her ear—
[Before coming to find you, I looked over your personal file. You have a son about to go to university, right?]
[If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll go kill your son. If you don’t believe me, you can try me.]
It takes a villain to grind down another villain.
The young girl’s tone was light, but she was way too terrifying and oppressive!
If it were some other seventeen-year-old girl who said to Wang Guiqin’s face that she wanted to kill someone, Wang Guiqin would definitely think the other person was a lunatic.
But everything that happened in the room earlier—
The girl had come in by twisting off the doorknob and then snapped her wrist, and afterward, she grabbed her hair and banged her head against the wall.
If it weren’t for the fact that she needed to come out and confess to the Lu Family, Wang Guiqin even thought the girl wanted to kill her right there and then.
This was a ruthless person, someone who would do anything to achieve her goals and would not hesitate to be cruel.
She said if I didn’t tell the truth, she would kill my son, and I didn’t dare not believe her.
Even if things were exposed and I had to go to jail, it was better than my son having an accident!
After saying all this, Lu Qianrou immediately turned red-eyed and trembled, exclaiming, "Mrs. Wang, what on earth are you talking about!"
"The things you’re talking about, sending the dress to Lu Sheng, rigging the chandelier with a bomb, locking Third Brother in the room, I honestly didn’t know!"
"You’re saying all of this was done under my orders. Where’s the evidence? Where is it?"
Lu Qianrou immediately cried and grabbed Jiang Ting’s hand: "Big Brother, Mom, please don’t listen to this servant’s slandering."
"It’s true that I accidentally spilled the drink on Third Brother, but I really didn’t do anything, I don’t know why she is framing me."
"Mrs. Wang has been in the house for so many years, she knows about Third Brother’s illness, it must be her who harbors resentment against Third Brother and Lu Sheng and did all this in secret, and now she’s pinning it on me!"
Hearing Lu Qianrou deny everything and say that all this was done by herself in secret, Wang Guiqin widened her eyes: "... What are you talking about, Miss Qianrou?"
"The record of the money you transferred to me is in my phone. It’s clear that you transferred five hundred thousand to me for this deed, how can you deny it now?"
Lu Qianrou cried even harder upon hearing this.
"Wasn’t that five hundred thousand for when you said you wanted to send your son abroad for studies, and came to me crying, so I lent it to you?"
"I generously took out my spending money to help your son with his education, and you turned around and pinned such a big scandal on me, Mrs. Wang, you are truly vicious!"
