Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 364: Filial Piety Gone Wrong

Xia Mian’s thoughts stirred slightly. This kind of money-making scheme across two worlds, where only she could connect the two, was something only she could pull off.

As she ate, Xia Mian secretly planned that when Wei Wei and Ling Fei returned from the Mystic Sect, she would have them make the arrangements.

Now, Xia Mian felt quite confident. With the backing of the Divine Clan in the Mystical World and all four major families in the present world owing her favors, she could rally support with just one call.

With such favorable conditions, if she doesn’t become wealthy, she’d be failing herself.

Xia Mian enjoyed her meal immensely, thinking about the vast amounts of money about to flow into her pockets, the shadow brought by the incident with Yang Yuqing finally dissipated significantly.

After the meal, Sister-in-law Zhang insisted on escorting Xia Mian out.

Cui Ke also wanted to see her off, but Xia Mian stopped him.

Upon stepping out, she saw Lu Zechuan already there, driving to pick her up.

Sister-in-law Zhang greeted Lu Zechuan with a beaming smile, and Lu Zechuan responded with a smile.

Once Xia Mian got in, Lu Zechuan wasted no time driving away from the Sun Family estate.

As the car started, the smile on Lu Zechuan’s face gradually disappeared, his brows knitting with worry.

Xia Mian’s keen observation and attention to detail immediately made her notice something was off with Lu Zechuan.

"Are you in trouble?" Xia Mian liked to be straightforward, not hiding things behind layers.

Since she sensed something was off with Lu Zechuan, she decided to go straight to the point and ask.

Lu Zechuan smiled slightly, "No."

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, a hint of a smile in them, "Lu Zechuan, am I so easy to fool?"

Lu Zechuan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, "Mianmian, grandmother is in trouble."

Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed, "What happened?"

Hadn’t Lu Zechuan already cleared things up with Mrs. Lu?

Lu Zechuan didn’t hold Mrs. Lu accountable for her actions, so why would she be in trouble?

"She’s in the hospital now." Lu Zechuan pursed his lips tightly, "Lu Zhenqing went mad and attacked her in the park where she often took walks."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Lu Zhenqing originally intended to sow discord between Lu Zechuan and Mrs. Lu, but neither Lu Zechuan nor Mrs. Lu fell for his tricks.

Lu Zhenqing was chased away by the Lu Family’s bodyguards, losing face completely.

Who could have imagined, just a few days later, Lu Zhenqing would return and cause Mrs. Lu to end up in the hospital!

This truly is the result of filial piety gone awry.

"Let’s go to the hospital!" Xia Mian sighed, feeling it wasn’t fair for Lu Zechuan to have to wait for her to ask before being honest.

Was he embarrassed that his own father hurt his grandmother, sending her to the hospital?

Lu Zechuan looked solemn, "I’m sorry, Mianmian, for dragging you into these things you shouldn’t be worrying about."

Xia Mian smiled slightly, "What are you saying? We’re already engaged, your matters are mine as well."

Besides, the incident of Lu Zhenqing hurting Mrs. Lu sounded suspicious no matter how she listened to it.

Lu Zhenqing might have been a troublemaker, but to attack someone, he didn’t seem to have the guts.

In front of a congee shop, Xia Mian bought a portion of lotus seed congee, and then the two of them went to the hospital.

In the intensive care unit of the hospital, Mrs. Lu lay on the bed, pale and hooked up to various tubes.

Upon seeing Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan enter, she awkwardly turned her head to the side.

What a misfortune in the family!

At her age, to be hospitalized after being hurt by her own son!

If Sister-in-law Zhang hadn’t stopped him, that unruly son might have taken her life!

Thankfully, the miraculous fruit Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan had given her improved her constitution, or she might not have survived his attack!

"Grandma, Mianmian and I came to see you." Lu Zechuan’s voice was soft and slow, as he pulled a chair for Xia Mian to sit.

Xia Mian sat at Mrs. Lu’s bedside, softly saying, "Grandma, don’t be upset anymore. You are the victim; the abuser should be the one feeling guilty."

Mrs. Lu’s lips moved slightly, but she couldn’t utter a word.

The son she painstakingly raised was now seeking revenge after being kicked out for his own wrongdoings!

What sin had she committed to deserve this!

"Grandma, have something to eat!" Lu Zechuan said, opening the lunchbox.

Mrs. Lu showed little interest.

Having gotten used to that kind of fruit, Mrs. Lu found it hard to muster any appetite for ordinary food now.

But she couldn’t let the children’s goodwill go to waste, so with Lu Zechuan’s help, she sat up and leaned against the headboard.

With tubes in both hands, eating was inconvenient, so Lu Zechuan fed her himself.

As she ate the meal fed by Lu Zechuan, Mrs. Lu was filled with emotions; raising this grandson had not been in vain!

Kicking both sons out of the Lu Family was worth it!

After eating a bit, Mrs. Lu was still not in good spirits.

To avoid Lu Zhenqing’s attack, Mrs. Lu accidentally broke her leg. At her age, such injuries would take even longer to heal than for younger people.

Just thinking about having to stay in bed for so long was distressing.

"Grandma, don’t be too pessimistic, just consider it a good rest, a holiday for yourself." Lu Zechuan smiled to comfort her.

With his and Xia Mian’s abilities, they could make Mrs. Lu’s leg recover quickly.

But even if they were to do it, they would have to do it secretly.

Mrs. Lu was naturally suspicious. For a better relationship, they needed to keep some secrets between them.

Mrs. Lu resignedly hummed, "What about that unruly child?"

Lu Zechuan lowered his eyes, "He’s at the police station."

To lay hands on his own mother and cause her to fracture! Such unfilial and cruel actions meant he ought to spend a few years in there!

Of course, before that, he’d have to sever ties with Lu Zhenqing, to prevent his misconduct from leaving a criminal record that could tarnish the next generation’s reputation.

"I was too soft on him; this time, let him stay there and learn his lesson!" Mrs. Lu closed her eyes slightly, a hint of determination in them.

The day Lu Zhenqing came to their door, she should have had him locked up!

Raising a tiger, she ultimately harmed herself!

Xia Mian, however, slightly narrowed her eyes, "How did Lu Zhenqing dare to attack you?"

Back when Shen Man died, Lu Zhenqing didn’t dare lay a hand on Mrs. Lu. Was he truly driven to the edge, or did he eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?

When Xia Mian said this, Mrs. Lu’s eyes also narrowed deeply.

Indeed, Lu Zhenqing was her son, and she knew her son too well; he was just a paper tiger, all show and no substance! Even if given a thousand guts, he wouldn’t dare to physically confront her.

But now, the impossible had happened!
