Chapter 82: Chapter 82: She Wants to Kill Lu Sheng Herself
Lu Qianrou’s sudden sneak attack from behind with a stone immediately caused Lu Sheng to have her head hit, bleeding and passing out.
Even Jiang Ting and Jiang Yusheng were startled.
Jiang Yusheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his usually gentle and well-behaved niece: "Qianrou, what are you doing..."
"Auntie, Mom, I just can’t stand how this Lu Sheng has been treating you both!"
Lu Qianrou threw the stone to the ground and said with reddened eyes and a crying tone, "She’s just an illegitimate daughter and yet she dared to lay a hand on Mom, and even directly confronted and threatened Uncle. She doesn’t take you both seriously at all!"
"It’s all because Mom has been too indulgent with her before. It’s our Lu Family that has treated her too well, which gave her the audacity to step on Mom and Uncle’s heads."
Lu Qianrou looked at Jiang Ting: "Mom, it’s not easy that today big brother, second brother, and Fifth Brother are not home, no one is here to shield her, you must make this Lu Sheng taste some bitterness."
"How about we lock her up in the underground wine cellar and keep her in solitary confinement for the night. We can tell the others that she went out with her friends this evening and let her learn her lesson well."
Lu Qianrou’s every word and sentence seemed to be for the sake of Jiang Ting and Jiang Yusheng, however in reality, ever since she saw Lu Sheng’s name on today’s piano competition roster, she had firmed up one thought—
She absolutely could not let Lu Sheng participate in the piano competition!
That night at the Fu Family banquet, Lu Sheng’s rendition of "Summer Forest" completely overshadowed her own brilliance, making her performance seem dull and unremarkable.
She played before Lu Sheng, as if she had been a "stepping stone," and subsequently no one remembered her performance at all.
To this moment, Lu Qianrou couldn’t understand how an illegitimate girl who had grown up in the countryside, in a family too poor to afford a piano, could possess such superb piano skills.
Anyway, if Lu Sheng really participated in the piano competition, even if she gave her all, she would have no chance of winning against her. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
She must take first place in this piano competition.
Only by getting first place could she possibly obtain the special recruitment slot offered by Beijing University, thus she couldn’t tolerate the possibility of anyone surpassing her.
The only way is to make sure that Lu Sheng absolutely cannot participate in the competition tomorrow evening.
After hearing Lu Qianrou’s words, the once dazed Jiang Ting glanced at the Lu Sheng lying on the ground and took a deep breath—
She had long wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!
Clearly the daughter of a vile woman, yet she truly considered herself a precious daughter. And she also didn’t know by what cunning means, in such a short period of time, she had bewitched her sons; one by one, they defended her.
Before this, Lu Jingyan had always been around.
As the head of the Lu Family, Lu Jingyan always shielded Lu Sheng, so Jiang Ting did not dare to blatantly do anything to Lu Sheng. After all, when her eldest son really got angry, she, as a mother, would also be afraid.
But now there’s no one else at home.
If they really locked Lu Sheng in the basement overnight, claiming she went out, no one would find out.
However, Jiang Ting was still hesitant: "But sooner or later, we need to let her out. If after we let her out, she runs to your big brother to tell him..."
"If Mom and I don’t admit to it, that’s all," Lu Qianrou said, "Big Brother is Mom’s son, my brother, would he believe an outsider over us?"
Actually, Lu Qianrou knew very well that if Lu Sheng really went to Lu Jingyan after being released from the basement and said that it was her who knocked her out and then she was locked in the basement, Lu Jingyan would surely believe her.
But she had no intention of giving Lu Sheng such an opportunity.
Because the moment she raised the stone and brought it down, she had made up her mind.
She was going to kill this Lu Sheng.
Originally, she was the only precious daughter of the Lu Family, wherever she went she captured all attention, shining brightly, and her brothers doted on her alone, at school she was also the most dazzling.
But ever since this Lu Sheng came, everything she was proud of was snatched away!
Back when Lu Sheng had just been brought to Jiang City, she had hired an assassin to kill her, but somehow she had managed to escape by luck.
This time, she would take matters into her own hands!
Jiang Yusheng immediately looked at Jiang Ting: "Ah Ting, Qianrou is right."
"This bitch’s daughter has just arrived at the Lu Family for a few days and dares to talk back to you. If you don’t show her some colors, she will disregard you even more in the future."
As he spoke, Jiang Yusheng directly went over and hoisted the unconscious Lu Sheng onto his shoulder.
"It’s just locking her up for one night; she won’t lose a piece of flesh. Consider it a lesson for her."
Following Jiang Ting’s instructions, Jiang Yusheng carried Lu Sheng downstairs, heading towards the direction of the underground cellar.
Meanwhile, Lu Qianrou picked up the backpack that had fallen on the ground from Lu Sheng, preparing to throw it away somewhere so that Lu Jingyan and the others wouldn’t see it when they came back.
However, as she bent over to pick it up, through the not completely closed zipper of the backpack, she saw a printed sheet of musical notation.
"What is this..."
Lu Qianrou took a deep breath, immediately unzipped the bag and pulled out the sheet of music, her eyes widening as she looked.
It was a piano composition, and after only a single look, she recognized it as a master-level composition.
But she was familiar with all the works of every master from both home and abroad since her youth, and this piece named "Dusk Descent" she had never seen before.
This sheet music was in Lu Sheng’s backpack, could it be... could it be that it was written by this Lu Sheng??
Lu Qianrou had never even thought that Lu Sheng was also capable of composing.
Over these past three or four days, she hadn’t even left her room, as she was racking her brains to create an original piano composition. But no matter what she came up with, she wasn’t satisfied and felt something was lacking.
Who would have thought that Lu Sheng had already written a new piece, and it appeared to be of such high caliber.
Yet at this moment, Lu Qianrou’s first reaction was not jealousy, but excitement.
If Lu Sheng could not compete tomorrow, and this sheet music had fallen into her hands, then wouldn’t she be able to use this very piece for the competition tomorrow night?
Lu Qianrou took a deep breath.
She immediately ran upstairs into her own room, opened the piano lid, set the music in place, and then sat down at the piano and began to play.
After playing it passionately and thoroughly once according to the music, Lu Qianrou was overwhelmingly excited.
Fantastic! This was absolutely fantastic!
It was to the degree that would amaze both experts and laymen alike!
If she used this piece for the competition tomorrow night, the championship would surely be hers!
Lu Qianrou took a deep breath to calm herself down, her resolution strengthened after her excitement – for the championship tomorrow night, for her to regain her former glorious life, Lu Sheng must die.
So, Lu Qianrou quickly stowed the music away, then ran down the stairs thump thump thump.
At this time, Jiang Ting and Jiang Yusheng were no longer in the living room.
Lu Qianrou first looked around, then softly tiptoed down the stairs by herself.
In the gloomy and cramped underground cellar, aside from the smell of wine, there was also a faint mustiness from the humidity and lack of sunlight. Lu Sheng was still lying on the ground, unconscious.
Lu Qianrou covered her nose in disgust, then took a deep breath, her gaze turning cold as she tightly gripped the towel in her hand, and approached Lu Sheng.
