The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 183 is truly ruthless and effective.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Old Madam Lu became even angrier and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get them out of here right now!"

Upon hearing this, the servants dared not hesitate any longer and immediately swarmed forward.

Aunt Wang tried to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a rag was stuffed into it.

Soon, Consort Wang and her son were tied up and sent out of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly chased after them, shouting, "Shuya, they don't want you and your child, but I do! Lu Xuan is my child..."

Old Madam Lu clutched her chest, breathless with anger, "These bastards..."

"Mother, please take good care of yourself." Lou Shi hurriedly helped her up. "Let your daughter-in-law help you back to rest."

Madam Lu nodded.

"Jun'er, come quickly and help me support your grandmother," Lou Shi called out.

Lu Jun glanced at Chen Jiu thoughtfully, but said nothing. He stepped forward to help Old Madam Lu towards Fushou Hall.

"Brother, this is a mess...sigh." Lu Jingsi sighed, "With something like this happening, our Lu family is likely to become the laughingstock of the entire capital." After saying that, he shook his head and left, but in reality, he was gloating.

From childhood to adulthood, his older brother was better than him in everything and had almost no weaknesses. He never expected that he would have such a shameful day, that the son he had recognized was someone else's child.

This is absolutely hilarious!

No one noticed that Lu Zhenbei quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Madam Wei, and stammered, "Madam..."

Madam Wei glanced at him and said indifferently, "Lu Xuan, is he really not your son?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenbei hesitated for a moment before saying, "After what happened back then, I returned to the capital, but a month later, I received a letter from Wang Shi saying that she was pregnant with my child..."

Madam Wei frowned upon hearing this. "Based on just one letter, you've concluded that the child is yours?"

“I also had my suspicions and even sent people to investigate, but Wang has never been in contact with any other men besides me, and the month in which the child was born also matches up,” Lu Zhenbei said in a deep voice.

"So, Lu Xuan might actually be your son? Then what about that man just now..." Wei Shi said, then turned to look at Chen Jiu as if she had thought of something.

Chen Jiu, holding the bowl, was about to slip away quietly.

Zhiwan also wanted to slip away. She didn't expect the people her cousin had invited to be so powerful. With a simple blood test, they managed to get Old Madam Lu to kick Aunt Wang and her son out of the house.

Since she knew the truth, she didn't want to stay, lest her aunt and uncle ask questions and she give herself away.

"Wan'er, Chen Jiu, stop right there!" Just then, Madam Wei suddenly called out to them.

Zhiwan paused, then slowly turned around. "Aunt."

Chen Jiu also turned around awkwardly, "Does Madam have any other instructions?"

Wei's gaze fell on Zhiwan first, and she frowned, saying, "What are you hiding from me?"

Zhiwan quickly waved her hand, "No."

"Then why are you running?" Wei asked suspiciously.

Zhiwan calmly said, "The sun is too strong. I want to go back and rest first." As she spoke, she even rubbed her right hand.

Sure enough, Madam Wei remembered the injury on her hand and, without suspecting anything, quickly said, "Then you should go back and rest."

"Yes," Zhiwan replied, and seeing that her gaze had turned to Chen Jiu, she did not leave in a hurry.

"Was that man you sent?" Wei asked Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu's eyes flashed, and he stammered, "Not the young master, but the heir."

"Is it Jinzhi?" Madam Wei was taken aback. Chen Jiu truthfully replied, "I reported to the Prince about the bullying you and Miss Biao. The Prince was very distressed and angry." As he spoke, he observed the Duke's expression. "Of course, the Prince is very happy about suddenly having a younger brother. However, he did not expect that Young Master Lu Xuan would harbor such malicious intentions, carrying a dagger to kill Madam and even biting Miss Biao. The Prince is far away in Jiangning. Upon learning of this, he was extremely anxious, but he is tied up with official duties and cannot return for the time being. To prevent such a disaster from happening again, he has no choice but to expel Consort Wang and her son."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei was deeply moved.

She never imagined that her son, who usually seemed so cold and indifferent, would care so much about her and Wan'er.

She truly did not spoil this son for nothing.

Her lips curled slightly, but when she saw Lu Zhenbei beside her, she quickly suppressed her smile, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Jinzhi did that to seek justice for me and Wan'er. If you are dissatisfied, then come at me."

Lu Zhenbei sighed, "How could I blame Jinzhi? Jinzhi handled this matter today... quite well."

"You don't blame him?" Madam Wei asked in surprise.

“Why should I blame him? He did that to seek justice for you and Wan’er. He did the right thing,” Lu Zhenbei said.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's expression softened slightly, and she reminded him, "But that Lu Xuan... is indeed your son. Aren't you really angry that Jinzhi chased them away?"

Lu Zhenbei's expression darkened. "I never intended for them to move into the Duke of Dingguo's residence." If it weren't for Wang Shi's recent outburst at the Censorate and even alarming the Emperor, he would never have let them run to Minghui's side and get in her way.

He paused for a moment, then added, "Also, I'd like to reinvestigate what happened back then."

Madam Wei paused for a moment, but said nothing.

At this moment, Chen Jiu couldn't help but say, "Duke, although today's events were indeed arranged by the heir apparent, it's very likely that Young Master Lu Xuan is not your child. Later, Tong Da should be able to bring back the truth."

Lu Zhenbei paused, recalling Wang's unusual reaction during the blood test, and asked, "Is Tong Da the man from earlier? Is he also one of Jinzhi's men?"

“Yes.” Chen Jiu nodded in response.

"I understand, you can go now." Lu Zhenbei nodded.

Seeing that Chen Jiu had left, Zhi Wan also quickly left.

Once her aunt and uncle were out of sight, Zhiwan called out to Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu looked at her blankly, "Is there anything else you need, Miss?"

"What did you add to the water?" Zhiwan asked curiously, looking at the bowl in his hand.

“Alum,” Chen Jiu replied, “is from the Crown Prince’s teachings.” As he said this, his face was full of pride.

His son was indeed exceptionally intelligent; he easily got rid of those two troublemakers from a thousand miles away.

Zhiwan suddenly realized, "No wonder the blood could fuse together so quickly."

Nowadays, people use the blood test to verify kinship, and they believe in it very much. As long as two drops of blood are mixed together, it is believed that the two people are father and son.

That is why Wang and her son are now unable to defend themselves.

Even the old lady Lu, who had been so kind to Wang and her son, immediately changed her attitude and wanted to drive them away.

My cousin's method is both ruthless and effective.

However, the cousin should have been able to tolerate Lu Xuan, his half-brother, but because Lu Xuan hurt his aunt and her, he took action to punish them.

Even if Lu Xuan is indeed his uncle's child, after this incident, he can forget about coming back. No matter how much Aunt Wang makes a fuss, it's useless, since his uncle won't stand on their side.

Despite her elaborate schemes to enter the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Aunt Wang was eventually driven out and ended up with nothing.

Zhiwan felt very relieved.

Remembering something, she suddenly asked, "By the way, Ajiu, why did you scheme against Dongxiang yesterday at Qingyin Pavilion?"
