The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 378 Zhiyao pretends to be weak

Seeing her flustered look, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but smile. He ruffled her hair and said, "Next time, remember to turn on your phone and ring it when you go out, okay? Don't make me worry."

Lu Zhiyao felt the care and love from her eldest brother, and a warm current surged in her heart. In this family, in addition to her mother still being in the mental hospital, her father was very strict with her, and her second brother was a love-brained and licking dog who loved his brother and sister but didn't care about him. Only this eldest brother really cared about her and took care of her. This made her feel extremely precious and warm.

"Big brother, Yaoyao knows she was wrong. Big brother, please don't be angry with Yaoyao, okay? Tomorrow Yaoer will cook for you personally and make you a delicious dish. This dish is my best dish." Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Jingxing with her innocent eyes, grabbed his arm coquettishly, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Lu Jingxing looked at the petite sister in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "You can cook too?" He remembered that Lu Zhiyao had always been a spoiled little princess, and he had never heard that she could cook.

Lu Zhiyao smiled gently, with a sly look in her eyes, "Brother, you know. Before I came to the Lu family, I rented a house and lived alone. If I don't do it myself, who will do it for me? I can't eat out every day." After she said that, she pretended to be very sad. She knew that gaining sympathy was the best choice at this time.

Lu Jingxing looked at her and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. "Yaoyao... it's big brother's fault. Big brother made Yaoyao remember all these sad things. Brother apologizes to you."

This scene was seen by the second oldest brother, Lu Jingxing, who could not help but frown and show a disdainful expression on his face. He had always disliked his younger sister, Lu Zhiyao, thinking that she was too spoiled and always acted recklessly by relying on her eldest brother's favor.

"Brother... you spoil your sister too much. If you continue like this, she will be spoiled, do you know? Wrong is wrong. Lu Zhiyao, you went out today, first of all, you didn't say hello to anyone, and then when your brother called you, you actually turned your phone to silent mode. It's a good thing that it was your brother who called. I called my father today, you would have been beaten for sure." Lu Jingxing's words made Lu Zhiyao nervous.

However, the elder Dalu Junyan looked at him with dissatisfaction and said, "Okay, second brother, stop talking, okay? Yaoyao went out to play after class, and there is no rule in the family that she can't go out, right? I don't like what you said. What do you mean that since it was your father who called today, you can't avoid a beating? It seems like you can't wait for your father to know about this."

Lu Jingxing curled his lips, feeling aggrieved. He knew that he was always inferior to his eldest brother. Although he managed many more companies than his eldest brother, his eldest brother was the eldest son. In this family, besides his father, his eldest son, Prince Lu Junyan of Nancheng, had the most say.

At this time, Lu Zhiyao's heart moved, and she remembered that special ability - the ability to hear other people's thoughts. Now she had yet to try it on her eldest brother, so she decided to add potion to his milk so that he could hear her thoughts as well. In this way, she would be able to know what his eldest brother really thought of her.

So, she sneaked into the kitchen. The nanny watched the whole process of heating the milk, and there couldn't be any mistakes. But as the young lady of the Lu family, the nanny was not on guard against her, because she would drink the milk herself. In the end, Lu Zhiyao successfully poured the potion into her eldest brother's bowl. She really wanted to know what her eldest brother would react when he heard Lu Wange's thoughts?

After a while, the nanny brought everyone's milk. Everyone picked up the milk and drank it. Drinking milk is also a rule of the Lu family. Every night, the Lu family must drink milk. This milk is fresh milk delivered by a designated person from the Lu family's milk factory every day.

Just as everyone was drinking milk, the housekeeper hurried in from outside.

Lu Yucheng frowned. "What's going on? Don't you know the rules of the Lu family?" he asked dissatisfiedly.

"The master...something happened!" the housekeeper said breathlessly. "The hospital called and said that the mistress suddenly became crazy and didn't recognize anyone. She even ran to the roof and said she wanted to jump down."

"How could this happen? Wasn't he fine a few days ago?" Lu Yucheng was very surprised and worried.

"Hurry up and ask the driver to prepare the car. I'm going to the hospital now. Big brother, second brother, you all come with me."

"Yes!" they answered. Lu Zhiyao, who was standing by, also felt very strange. She had just visited her mother in the hospital three days ago, and her mother's condition had improved. How could it be possible that her condition had become serious again?

"Father, I want to go too!" Without waiting for her father to answer, Lu Zhiyao ran behind her two brothers and got into her eldest brother's car. Her heart was filled with worry and confusion, and she had to go to the hospital to see what happened.

In the dim light of the carriage, Lu Zhiyao frowned, her heart full of entanglement and doubt. The day before yesterday, the familiar person was still standing in front of her intact, talking and laughing, full of energy. But how did it become like this today?

She couldn't help but think of Lu Wange. That woman's relationships were always complicated and full of undercurrents. Lu Zhiyao couldn't suppress her suspicion. Could it be that all this was related to Lu Wange? Was she behind this?

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Zhiyao's eyes. If she found out that all this was really related to Lu Wange, she swore that she would never let her go easily. She would make Lu Wange pay for her actions, no matter what means, no matter how much she paid, she would make the truth known to the world.

The scenery outside the car window passed by in the night, but the atmosphere in the car became heavier and heavier. Lu Zhiyao's heart was full of determination and expectation. She was looking forward to uncovering the truth of all this and finding answers to her doubts. She knew that this would be a long and difficult battle, but she was ready. No matter how many difficulties there were ahead, she would persevere.

They soon drove to the hospital, only to see Li Shishi still on the rooftop of the hospital, crying and making a fuss, and several nurses were unable to hold her back.

At that moment, the atmosphere was so tense that even the air seemed to freeze. Lu Zhiyao walked quickly to the edge of the rooftop, her heartbeat was like thunder, and every step seemed unusually heavy. She stared at Li Shishi, the worry and anxiety in her eyes almost overflowing from her eyes.

"Mom!" Lu Zhiyao shouted with all her might, her voice full of urgency and pleading. She stretched out her hands, trying to grab Li Shishi's attention, "I am Yaoyao, look at me! Mom, look into my eyes, I am your beloved Yaoyao!"

Li Shishi seemed to be awakened by this familiar and affectionate voice. She gradually stopped crying and slowly turned her head. When her eyes met Lu Zhiyao's, Lu Zhiyao saw the light of hope. She knew she couldn't give up and had to hold on until her mother regained consciousness.

Lu Zhiyao held Li Shishi's hand tightly and said gently but firmly: "Mom, you have to be strong. We will get through this together. I will always be by your side, supporting you and accompanying you."
