The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 773 Cousin Chengmin
Cousin Seung-min?

The ladies present all recognized Su Chengmin, but the madman on the ground was clearly not Su Chengmin.

Did Lu Yin'er mistake her lover for Su Chengmin?

Or perhaps her lover was originally Su Chengmin, but this madman beat her to it.

The ladies frowned deeply.

The moment Chengmin called out "Cousin," everyone's enthusiasm for gossip was instantly aroused.

Grandma Min looked calm and smiled. Lu Yin'er was revealing that she had been plotting against Su Chengmin today.

He lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot—serves him right!
Lady Lu's face was even more unpleasant than when she discovered that the adulterer was not Su Chengmin.

In full view of everyone, Madam Lu angrily raised her arm and slapped Lu Yin'er twice, cursing, "You little whore, how dare you?"

At this moment, Madam Lu wished she could kill Lu Yin'er. She had set everything up, but all her efforts had been in vain.

Lu Yin'er lost her innocence without even recognizing who her lover was.

This niece is really useless.

This piece is now useless.

Lu Yin'er was slightly brought back to her senses by the slap, but when she saw the man in front of her clearly, she almost fainted again.

She knew this person all too well; he was Gao Ming, one of Su Chengmin's subordinates.

She always ran into Su Chengmin whenever she went to see him.

The first time she met Gao Ming, she knew from the way he looked at her that he was interested in her.

She decided to use Gao Ming to scheme against her cousin.

After all, Gao Ming had grown up with Su Chengmin since childhood, and now, as Su Chengmin's subordinate, Su Chengmin trusted him very much.

If we can win over Gao Ming, our schemes against Su Chengmin will be much easier.

In order to achieve her goal of using Gao Ming, she continued to wait for Su Chengmin even after their engagement.

Just as she had predicted, Su Chengmin avoided seeing her, while Gao Ming always showed up.

She could tell that Gao Ming felt sympathy for her waiting for Su Chengmin.

She started to strike up a conversation with Gao Ming, and the two gradually became acquainted.

At this banquet, Gao Ming, as Su Chengmin's subordinate, also attended. She asked Gao Ming to slip the sleeping potion given to her by her aunt into Su Chengmin's wine glass.

“I depend on my aunt for a living, I have no choice. If I can’t marry my cousin, my aunt will beat me to death. Don’t worry, only you and I know that you’re helping me, there’s absolutely no way a third person will know. Besides, I won’t let you help me for nothing. After I marry my cousin, I’ll put in a good word for you with him, then your future will be guaranteed, right?”

Lu Yin'er knew how to manipulate Gao Ming.

Seeing Gao Ming hesitate, Lu Yin'er, with a weak and tearful expression, kept trying to persuade him.

Although Gao Ming felt that helping Lu Yin'er scheme against Su Chengmin was betraying Su Chengmin's trust, he couldn't resist Lu Yin'er's tears and agreed to help her this once.

Lu Yin'er handed the sleeping potion to Gao Ming with peace of mind.

After the banquet, Gao Ming sent someone to tell Lu Yin'er that he had succeeded.

Lu Yin'er witnessed Gao Ming helping Su Chengmin to the house where Min Baozhen had lived.

Having succeeded in her scheme, she followed them into the house, only to find everything suddenly went black and she knew nothing more.

When I woke up, this was the scene before me.

Where did Su Chengmin go?
Why is Gao Ming lying next to me?
Lu Yin'er felt a chill run through her body. Every time she went to see Su Chengmin, she would run into Gao Ming. Was Gao Ming sympathizing with her, or was he deliberately approaching her to gain her trust and prepare for today?

Or perhaps Gao Ming helped her scheme against Su Chengmin, but the two of them ended up falling into Su Chengmin's trap together.

Lu Yin'er glanced at Madam Lu, then at Gao Ming, then at Old Madam Min, Tong Huaqiong, and the others. Her mind was in a whirl, and her eyes showed helplessness. She didn't know how to end this situation.

Originally, Lu Yin'er was forced into this situation by the Lu family.

Despite having mentally prepared herself beforehand, being caught in the act of adultery in public still left her feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.

Lu Yin'er clutched the peach blossom shawl she was wearing, tears streaming silently down her face. "Yin'er, how did this bastard get in? How did he drag you into the room? Explain yourself to me in detail."

When Madam Lu saw Lu Yin'er trying to escape, she became angry.

They were so stupid that they were outsmarted without even realizing it.

Shouldn't we just go with the flow and shift all the blame onto the man in front of us?
This way, they can maintain their image as victims and clear the Su family of any wrongdoing.

“Are you dead? Why aren’t you saying anything? You’ve been harmed like this and you haven’t said a word. How am I supposed to explain this to your parents? Don’t worry, as long as you tell the truth, your uncle and I will definitely get justice for you.”

Madam Lu pinched and hit Lu Yin'er.

What Lu Yin'er said was suggestive.

Lu Yin'er was stunned by the beating from Madam Lu, her mind a jumbled mess.

She really didn't understand why Su Chengmin had become Gao Ming.

Lu Yin'er bit her lip, unsure of what to say.

No matter what she says, whether or not she has ruined her reputation, lying in the same room with Gao Ming in front of so many people, she can no longer marry Su Chengmin, let alone have any other good marriage prospects.

She didn't even have the chance to be a concubine in wealthy families.

Knowing her aunt's coldness and her uncle's ruthlessness, and realizing she was no longer of value in marriage, the only option was to send her to a nunnery to live out her remaining years.

Lu Yin'er shivered.

A sense of desolation filled my heart.

"Auntie, I don't know."

"I really do not know."

Lu Yin'er was in tears and shook her head desperately.

The ladies were all shrewd, and seeing the exchange between Madam Lu and her niece Lu Yin'er, they quickly realized that Madam Lu had instructed Lu Yin'er to scheme against Su Chengmin, but instead, her niece had been dragged into the mess.

This is truly a case of losing both wife and army.

The crowd, who had initially felt sorry for Lu Yin'er, now thought she deserved it.

"Tie this bastard up!" Madam Lu shouted at the old woman, pointing at Gao Ming.

Gao Ming woke up at just the right moment, looking at Lu Yin'er and Madam Lu with a blank expression.

At this moment, two rough old women from the outer courtyard came in with a servant carrying ropes to tie people up. Gao Ming, who had not yet come to his senses, instinctively kicked the two old women and the servant away.

Although Gao Ming's martial arts skills were nothing special in the Imperial Guards, they were more than enough to deal with old women and servants.

"Murder! Murder! Quick, go and call Butler Xu, take this madman away from me!"

Lady Lu's voice changed in surprise.

The housekeeper and his entourage rushed over, and Old Madam Min called out, "Wait!"

His sharp gaze swept across Gao Ming's face, and he asked, "Gao Ming, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Old Madam Min's question, Madam Lu realized that Gao Ming was Su Chengmin's man.

She and Lu Yin'er were outmaneuvered by Su Chengmin, who took them all down.

Gao Ming was about to speak.

Grandma Su and Su Shihang rushed over.

"You despicable whores! The Su family feeds and treats you both well, yet you two still set your sights on my eldest grandson!"

When the maidservant beside Madam Lu invited Old Madam Su and Su Shihang, she relayed that Lu Yin'er and Su Chengmin were trapped in Min Baozhen's courtyard.

Grandma Su was so angry that she wanted to divorce Lu Shi and strangle Lu Yin'er.

Grandma Su cursed and swore, and slapped both Lu Shi and her niece Lu Yin'er once each.
