Yu Han asked only one question.
At first, Lu Jin Yue had also suspected Yu Han, but the moment she questioned who Miss Ye was, he instantly believed her.
"Young Master, you must believe me. Don't let this woman harm Madam. Madam is still unconscious."
The maid argued forcefully, seizing the initiative. She had to buy herself time to escape.
But all her calculations failed to account for Lu Jin Yue's feelings for Yu Han.
Lu Jin Yue glared at her, "Auntie Wang, Yu Han is my fiancée, Lu Jin Yue's fiancée. I won't believe an outsider like you over her."
The maid was stunned, left speechless.
Hearing that Lu Jin Yue believed her, Yu Han curved her lips into a faint smile.
"Jin Yue, she said the medicine Miss Ye left for her has half left, and she plans to feed the other half to you."
"Oh, you damn woman, what are you talking about? The Lu family has been incredibly kind to me, how could I do such a thing to Madam and the Young Master? You haven't even entered the house yet, how can you frame me like this?"
Auntie Wang cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, all the while sneaking glances at Lu Jin Yue's expression.
Lu Jin Yue, however, paid no further attention to Auntie Wang. He shielded Yu Han in his arms and took out his phone to call a bodyguard.
Seeing that she couldn't fool Lu Jin Yue, Auntie Wang turned to run.
A cold glint flashed in Lu Jin Yue's eyes. He moved quickly, stretching out his long leg and kicking Auntie Wang to the ground.
Auntie Wang groaned in pain, sprawled on the floor.
Yu Han breathed a sigh of relief.
She was happy that the person who loved her believed her.
She walked over and said, "Jin Yue, first, let's find the remaining medicine. Get it tested. Please be careful not to harm Madam."
A murderous intent loomed in Lu Jin Yue's eyes. "Alright!"
"Oh! My lower back!" Auntie Wang cried out, unable to get up due to the pain.
She immediately started to blame Lu Jin Yue, "Lu Jin Yue, I've served your family for several years. How could you treat me like this? I'm over fifty, and if my back is injured, it won't heal easily."
Lu Jin Yue thundered, "My mother gave you the best food and clothes, why did you poison her?"
His icy voice made Auntie Wang tremble for a moment.
She couldn't let them find the medicine, or she would go to jail.
She had already transferred the previous money to her daughter. With that money, her daughter would be much better off.
She slowly stood up and mocked Lu Jin Yue, "What Madam gave me was charity, not genuine affection, so why should I be grateful? Young Master, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, how could you understand the hardships of ordinary people?"
"When it rains, someone holds an umbrella for you. When you're hungry, someone cooks for you. When it's dark, someone lights a lamp for you. How can you understand the suffering of us poor people?"
Lu Jin Yue was furious. How could there be such a person in the world?
"I don't understand. I only understand that you poisoned my mother, that you harmed my mother. I will pursue this matter to the very end, and I will make sure you rot in jail."
His ruthless words made Auntie Wang tremble.
At that moment, two bodyguards ran over.
Lu Jin Yue roared, "Grab her and take her phone."
"Yes, Young Master."
The bodyguards looked at the phone in Auntie Wang's hand. In a moment of desperation, Auntie Wang threw her phone into a nearby water bucket, thus destroying any evidence.
What if Yu Han heard?
Words without proof!
Yu Han: "..." This woman is truly cunning!
Lu Jin Yue sneered, his chiseled features devoid of any warmth. Looking at Auntie Wang's futile attempt to cover up, he mocked, "Don't you know that current technology can recover all the content from your phone?"
Auntie Wang's heart leaped, but she continued her desperate struggle.
She let out a cold laugh, "Young Master, I haven't wronged you in any way. If you want to call the police, go ahead."
She was already an old woman; she didn't believe he could bear to send her to jail.
Lu Jin Yue looked at her with cold indifference, "Once I find the medicine, I will naturally send you to jail."
Auntie Wang: "..."
"Search her room."
"Yes, Young Master."
The two bodyguards took Auntie Wang to her room.
Lu Jin Yue retrieved the phone and called another bodyguard, asking him to notify the company's technical staff to repair the phone.
Then, they all went to my mother's room.
The Lu family was indeed the foremost aristocratic family; even the servants' rooms were spacious and bright.
After a thorough search, in a hidden compartment of Auntie Wang's suitcase, they found the other half packet of white powder.
Lu Jin Yue looked at her and asked, "Is this the medicine?"
Auntie Wang raised her head with a proud demeanor, ignoring Lu Jin Yue.
Lu Jin Yue's eyes sharpened as he narrowed them at Auntie Wang. He never imagined that he had brought a wolf into his own home.
"Auntie Wang, you can choose not to speak, but your daughter's life is in my hands."
A hint of emotion finally appeared on Auntie Wang's arrogant face.
"Why are you bringing up my daughter? Lu Jin Yue, if you have something against me, deal with me. My daughter has nothing to do with this."
She cared more about her daughter than her own life and would never joke about her daughter's fate.
"Hmph! Then why did you harm my mother? I have a thousand ways to make your daughter wish she were dead."
Auntie Wang had long since revealed that her daughter was her weakness. As long as this point was held, Auntie Wang would yield.
As expected, anxiety appeared on her face.
"No, Young Master, this really has nothing to do with me. It was Ye An Ran who threatened me and ordered me to do this. If I didn't comply, she would make me suffer. People like us find it hard to survive anywhere. Please, give me a way out. I really didn't mean to."
"Ye An Ran." Lu Jin Yue was surprised. "Why did she want you to do these things?"
Auntie Wang's eyes welled up with tears. She didn't want to go to jail in her old age; it would be too shameful to return to her hometown.
"I don't know. Whatever she ordered me to do, I did."
Lu Jin Yue felt that something was unusual, and there must be something he didn't know.
He angrily ordered the bodyguard, "Keep an eye on her."
Then he took Yu Han back to the first-floor hall.
He immediately called his father.
"Dad, is Mom still not awake?"
Lu Si Cheng glanced at his wife, who had her eyes closed on the hospital bed, and said, "No, I don't know what's happening. Your mother just hasn't woken up."
"Dad, Mom was poi—"
"Wait, Eldest, where are you calling from?" Lu Si Cheng quickly interrupted him.
"The living room."
Lu Si Cheng: "Go outside to make the call. There's a listening device in the living room."
Lu Jin Yue: "..."
He pulled Yu Han outside again, and only after reaching the garden did he say, "Dad, Auntie Wang in the house is Ye An Ran's person. She put medicine in Mom's water at noon, and Mom was poisoned."
"What? That scoundrel, how could she do such a thing?" Lu Si Cheng exclaimed, his heart filled with grief.
The Lu family had raised her for over twenty years, and this was the reward?
