Chapter 466: Lady Qin Furious to the Point of Vomiting Blood

Chapter 466: Making Lady Qin Fume with Anger

"It's clear she has feelings for me!"

Cheng Bingzhi stood up, pointing at Liu Xianxian with righteous indignation.

Liu Xianxian, being pointed at, was completely bewildered. "When have I ever liked you?"

"Why are you playing dumb? If you didn't like me, why would you keep smiling at me?"

Liu Xianxian was speechless.

"You're Bing Hao's little brother. When I see you, I smile at you. What's the big deal?" Liu Xianxian turned to look at the others. "I've smiled at Auntie, Granny Qin, and even Bing Hao's older brother. Does that mean I'm in love with everyone?"

Her explanation didn't sway Cheng Bingzhi, who snorted dismissively. "Alright, I'll believe you for now! But you also stood up for me. When my second brother bullied me, you told him not to. If you didn't care for me, why would you say that?"

Liu Xianxian was at a loss for words...

What kind of twisted reasoning is this? Just because someone spoke up for him, he thought they were interested in him, and with such confidence!

Cheng Binghao, overhearing this, was both furious and exasperated. "Cheng Bingzhi, have you lost your mind?"

He slammed the table and stood up. "If you're not well, go see a doctor. If you keep spouting nonsense in front of us, I'll knock you flat on your back!"

Cheng Binghao's threat made Cheng Bingzhi cower instantly. Liu Xianxian, standing behind Cheng Binghao, was seething with anger, glaring at him indignantly.

Seeing this, Cheng Bingzhi felt even more annoyed.

Why were these girls all like this? They were the ones who came onto him first, and now they're all denying it!

Even though he was intimidated by Cheng Binghao's authority, he still wanted to defend himself.

"But you once put your reputation on the line to shield me, afraid I'd be punished. You can't explain that away, can you?"

He glared at Liu Xianxian, who was hiding behind Cheng Binghao.

This shameless girl, once she married him, he'd make sure she learned her place!

Hearing Cheng Bingzhi's words, Liu Xianxian was utterly dumbfounded. "When did I ever risk my reputation to protect you, fearing you would be punished..."

Cheng Bingzhi's words implied they had some illicit relationship, with her sacrificing her reputation to protect him from punishment. How could that be possible?

"It was when you sent the sour pears! You all kicked me out, and I smashed the basket of sour pears at the back gate of the Marquis's Mansion. One of them hit you, and when you saw it was me, you immediately told the maid to keep quiet and not tell anyone. You protected me like that, what else can you say?"

Cheng Bingzhi stared at Liu Xianxian, as if he had just exposed her deepest secret and sealed her fate.

He had indeed succeeded, hitting Liu Xianxian right where it hurt. She was so angry she could barely catch her breath.

Pointing at the overly confident Cheng Bingzhi, she couldn't utter a single word.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the room had heard the whole story.

Madam Jiang's face was a picture of disbelief as she stared at the short, pudgy man before her, as if he were a total idiot.

Among the three grandsons of the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion, the eldest and second were both outstanding, but this third one was as dumb as a rock!

It really showed who raised him. Those not taught by Lu Lingyun, but raised by concubines, were completely useless!

Lu Lingyun finally saw through Cheng Bingzhi's intentions after hearing his self-righteous speech!

This shallow and talentless fool was utterly spoiled by his concubine mother!

In his mind, the whole world should revolve around him—he thinks he's the center of the universe!

But after being kicked out of the Marquis's Mansion and looked down upon by so many, he became a mix of arrogance and insecurity.

He wouldn’t dare say a word when insulted, but if a woman smiled or showed him kindness, he’d lump her in with his concubine mother.

These women were just like his mother—they must adore him!

If they didn’t love him, why else would they bother with someone so worthless?

Her mind raced, and she finally pieced together his schemes involving Xu Yinyin and Li Shouye.

She didn’t need proof—she knew Cheng Bingzhi was behind the rumors against Xu Yinyin and Li Shouye.

This idiot not only thought he could reach above his station, but he was also petty and spiteful! If crossed, he’d strike back with sneaky, dirty tricks!

He was nothing but a stupid, rotten scoundrel!

Cheng Bingzhi’s idiotic, selfish reasoning enraged everyone, but Lady Qin was the angriest of all.

Hearing Cheng Bingzhi’s words, she felt her blood boil, her head spinning with rage.

She must’ve gone senile and blind!

How could she have been duped by this idiot and swallowed his lies?

He claimed Liu Xianxian was head over heels for him, and she bought it hook, line, and sinker, even making arrangements!

Now, with this colossal mess in front of everyone, Lady Qin felt her lifelong reputation was in tatters.

She was utterly humiliated!

Completely disgraced!

"Grandmother, didn’t you say yesterday you’d arranged my marriage to Liu Xianxian? What’s going on now?"

Cheng Bingzhi had the nerve to challenge Lady Qin and start a fight.

Yesterday, Lady Qin’s maid swore she’d secured Liu Xianxian for him. How could this old woman botch it so badly?

She promised the marriage, but now they’re humiliating the groom!

When Lady Qin heard Cheng Bingzhi’s accusation, her pent-up rage erupted.

With a cry, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Mother!"

"Grandmother!"

"Granny Qin!"

"Lady of Xue!"

Everyone rushed to Lady Qin's side when they saw her vomiting blood.

Lu Lingyun was the first to rush to Lady Qin's side. Seeing Lady Qin vomiting a large amount of blood, she grabbed her wrist and was instantly struck by how alarmingly cold her hand felt.

"Hurry! Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and bring back Imperial Physician Zhang!"

"Bing Hao, you go!"

"Yes, Mother!" Cheng Binghao turned around without hesitation and rushed out to fetch the imperial physician. As he passed by Cheng Bingzhi, he paused for a moment and left him with a warning.

"If grandmother suffers even the slightest harm, you're dead!"

Cheng Bingzhi immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with me?"

At this moment, Lu Lingyun continued to direct people to carry Lady Qin into the house. The whole family scrambled to follow her orders, creating a chaotic scene.

Cheng Bingzhi's eyes flickered nervously around, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he ran away first.

Why should he stay here? If old Lady Qin turns out to be fine later, Cheng Binghao and the others will still come after him. If something happens, he's even more doomed!

Better get out of here fast!
