The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 444 Cyanide appears again

However, Lu Zhiyao also knew that the original owner of this body, that simple and kind girl, had a deep attachment and concern for her mother. In her heart, there was no hatred, only love.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyao suppressed the turmoil in her heart and tried to get along well with her mother according to the original owner's idea. She smiled, gently took her mother's hand, and asked about her mother's recent situation in a soft voice.

"Mom, how are you feeling recently? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Lu Zhiyao's voice was soft and sincere, like a spring breeze blowing through a mother's heart.

Li Shishi glanced at Lu Zhiyao out of the corner of her eye. Although her heart was filled with resentment towards her daughter at this moment, she did not want to make the relationship with her daughter too awkward.

So she quickly put on a friendly face: "Oh, it's Yaoyao... Mom is much better now, nothing's wrong. Is this the lotus seed soup you specially made for mom? Thank you so much, my dear daughter! In the future, you can ask the servants to do such small things. You are the eldest daughter of the Lu family, why do you need to cook by yourself?"

How could Lu Zhiyao not understand her mother? She was an old monster who had experienced hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes. With just one look from her mother, she could see through her mother's true thoughts. Although her mother was being polite and affectionate at the moment, she actually didn't want to see her at all. In this case, it would be better to keep a distance.

"Okay, Mom, drink it while it's hot. I'll go out first." After saying that, Lu Zhiyao turned around and left the room.

However, at this moment, her mood was as complicated as a mixture of emotions. Original owner, original owner, what kind of story have you experienced?

After walking out of the room, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Li Shishi, who stayed in the room, looked at her daughter's leaving back, and an indescribable expression appeared on her face.

The original owner...knows clearly that your biological mother looked at you with indifference, as if she was looking at a pile of worthless garbage. Wasn't the harm she caused to you in your previous life deep enough? In this case, do you still think your mother is an innocent person?

Lu Zhiyao quietly returned to her boudoir, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the unbearable past events of her previous life. The bloody and cruel scenes kept flashing in her mind, as if it was a wound that could never heal. If she had experienced this herself, she would probably never be able to choose to forgive easily. However, after all, that was their common biological mother! Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but feel tangled in her heart.

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from her mother's room: "Someone, come! The old lady has been poisoned!" Lu Zhiyao's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She didn't have time to think about it, and hurried to her mother's room, only to see the private doctor invited by the family was nervously rescuing her mother. Seeing that her mother's face was as pale as paper, her limbs were stiff and weak, and white foam kept coming out of her mouth, her condition was very critical. Looking down again, there was a bowl of porridge that had not been finished on the ground. In an instant, Lu Zhiyao felt dizzy and her head almost exploded.

She suppressed her inner panic and grief, squatted down and approached the bowl of porridge, sniffing it carefully. A pungent smell of bitter almonds entered her nose...it turned out to be cyanide! How could there be cyanide in this porridge?

At this time, someone called the police, and Bai Qi quickly rushed to the scene to investigate. After careful observation, he concluded that the bowl of lotus seed porridge that his wife had eaten was mixed with deadly potassium cyanide!

Bai Qi stared at the housekeeper with sharp eyes and asked sternly: "Who sent this bowl of lotus seed porridge?" Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but feel puzzled. She knew very well that there was absolutely no problem with the porridge she sent, so where did this extremely poisonous potassium cyanide come from?

Just as the housekeeper was about to answer, Lu Zhiyao interrupted anxiously, "This porridge was made by me personally and sent to my mother to enjoy. I was the only one involved in the whole process."

Bai Qi heard this and slowly raised his head, staring at Lu Zhiyao. Although they had only met once, deep down in his heart, Bai Qi did not believe that this seemingly weak woman in front of him would commit such a crime.

"Second Miss... was this... was this porridge really cooked by you?" Bai Qi frowned and continued to ask.

Lu Zhiyao met Bai Qi's gaze without flinching and responded firmly: "That's right! But if you say that I poisoned my own mother, that is simply ridiculous! Just think about it, if I really wanted to harm others, how could I be stupid enough to hand the poison directly to my mother?" Her words were so sincere that people couldn't help but be moved.

At this time, other members of the Lu family also rushed over. When they learned that Li Shishi was poisoned because of the lotus seed porridge cooked by Lu Zhiyao, they couldn't help but feel suspicious and cast their eyes on Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Jingxing looked at his mother, whose face was pale, with eyes full of pain and confusion. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Lu Zhiyao... why did you do this? Your mother treated you well! Although she said some hurtful words, she has been very caring towards you since she was discharged from the hospital and returned home. What reason did you have to poison her?" Facing Lu Jingxing's questioning, Lu Zhiyao almost couldn't breathe.

She thought to herself, how can she be so sure that she poisoned the food? Just because I served the food, can she accuse me without any basis? How could I be so stupid!

Lu Zhiyao ignored Lu Jingxing and turned to Officer Bai and said, "Officer Bai, I really didn't poison you. Please believe me..." However, before she finished her words, one of Officer Bai's men hurried up from downstairs and whispered something in Officer Bai's ear. Officer Bai frowned slightly, then looked Lu Zhiyao up and down carefully, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Miss Lu, when our people were investigating in the kitchen, they discovered that the remaining porridge actually contained hydride! If you say that it only passed through your hands throughout the process, then why is there hydride in the porridge? Miss Lu... we now suspect that you are involved in a poisoning case. Please cooperate with us and come with us." Bai Qi said expressionlessly.

Lu Zhiyao shook her head helplessly and looked at her mother who had not yet woken up in pain. She knew in her heart that the poison must have been administered by her mother herself. She never expected that her mother would do anything to achieve her goal, even to the point of driving her own daughter out and doing such a terrible thing.

"Okay... If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Things that you haven't done will eventually be investigated to the bottom. I'll go with you, Officer Bai." Before leaving the house, Lu Zhiyao glanced at her mother again and walked out the door helplessly.

Lu Wange, who was watching all this, thought that her mother still had some tricks. But she was also a ruthless person. She actually tried to frame her own daughter by drugging herself with cyanide. Wasn't she afraid that she would lose her life if she didn't get timely rescue? But now all the evidence pointed to Lu Zhiyao, and she was the most suspicious.

In the interrogation room of the police station, Lu Zhiyao could deeply feel the pain in the original owner's heart. She wanted to have a good relationship with her mother, so she cooked some lotus seed porridge herself. Who knew that her mother was so cruel that she poisoned the porridge she cooked and framed her in this way. Mother, why did you do this? I am your biological daughter!
