Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 29 The Frame-Up Fails

That night, Lu Qingqing spent a lot of effort...

Finally, I managed to get all the children to sleep.

She got up quietly.

His gaze swept across the room.

Seeing the two wolf cubs lying obediently on the children's shoes,

His adorable appearance made Lu Qingqing smile.

Subsequently,

With a thought, she flashed Lin Yunlan into her spatial dimension.

He skillfully operated the medical equipment to conduct a full-body examination on him.

When you see the data displayed on the medical device

Lu Qingqing was greatly surprised.

His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Lin Yunlan's nervous system has recovered so quickly,"

At this rate, he might wake up in the next day or two.

Lu Qingqing murmured to herself,

A satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Thinking of this,

In high spirits, she stepped out of the space and laid out her makeshift bed on the floor again.

Perhaps because of this good news,

Or perhaps it's the fatigue of the day that's set in.

Lu Qingqing quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Soft breathing rose and fell gently in the quiet room.

In the middle of the night,

Lu Qingqing was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, I heard a slight creaking sound from the courtyard gate.

She woke up instantly from her sleep.

He cautiously and quietly got up, observing the situation at the entrance to the courtyard.

A dark figure was seen crouching down, trying to open the courtyard gate.

The door was already dilapidated, and the dark figure opened it successfully in no time.

A dark figure entered the courtyard.

By the dim moonlight, Lu Qingqing could finally see that it was Liu Cuihua.

She was carrying a bundle in her arms, and she tiptoed around, crouching low.

They crept furtively toward the dilapidated kitchen.

Lu Qingqing was filled with doubt.

Wanting to see what this person was up to, he held his breath and observed secretly.

A short while later, Liu Cuihua came out of the kitchen.

But the bundle in his arms was gone.

After Liu Cuihua left,

Lu Qingqing rushed to the kitchen and found the bundle in the woodpile.

She opened it carefully.

Inside was a scarecrow covered in needles.

A birth date and time were written on the back.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Qingqing was utterly shocked.

Lu Qingqing understood instantly.

Liu Cuihua must be trying to frame her through such underhanded means.

Thinking of this, a flash of anger and sadness crossed her eyes.

This vicious technique was something people in ancient times greatly feared and despised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cuihua actually tried to frame her with this incident.

I don't know what Liu Cuihua's purpose is.

Lu Qingqing calmly returned to her room.

Take out a tinderbox and light the scarecrow.

The flickering flames instantly engulfed the eerie scarecrow.

Until it turns to ashes.

Subsequently,

She found paper and pen, thought for a moment, and quickly wrote a note.

After writing the note,

Lu Qingqing carefully folded it.

Put it back in the bundle, and then do it as it was before.

He put the bundle back in its original place in the woodpile.

After doing all this,

Lu Qingqing showed no sign of panic.

She calmly returned to her room and went back to sleep.

the next morning,

Lu Qingqing and the children were awakened by the noise outside.

Lu Qingqing gestured to the children not to rush.

He simply got dressed and went out.

When the courtyard gate opened, Lu Qingqing saw a large group of people blocking the entrance.

Leading the group were Qin Xiulian and her daughter-in-law, Liu Cuihua.

Qin Xiulian cried and said:

"Someone used evil magic to harm my old man, how heartless!"

Lu Qingqing frowned and said:

"Mother, what exactly happened? Please don't cry, tell me properly."

Liu Cuihua jumped out, pointed at Lu Qingqing, and shouted:

"Hmph, maybe it was you who did this!"

You, the daughter-in-law who was separated from her family,

Who knows how much resentment she harbors!

Lu Qingqing glared at Liu Cuihua:

"Sister-in-law, you can't just say things like that!"

Although I have separated from the Lin family, I would never do such a vicious thing.

Qin Xiulian wiped away her tears and said:

"Lu Qingqing, you're the one who's caused us the most trouble in this village."

Who else could it be but you?

Lu Qingqing looked aggrieved:

“Mother, even if I separated from you and Father, I wouldn’t be so heartless.”

Your baseless accusations against me without any regard for the facts are truly disheartening.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said:

"Yes, we shouldn't wrongly accuse people."

Liu Cuihua glared at the man and said:

"What's it to you? Shut your mouth!"

Lu Qingqing looked at Liu Cuihua and said:

"Liu Cuihua, why are you in such a hurry to convict me?"

Could it be that you're trying to frame me?

Liu Cuihua said angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense,"

I think you're just jealous that our family is doing well.

"Deliberately causing trouble! Making Dad pretend to be sick,"

Lu Qingqing's gaze swept over the crowd, and she said loudly:

"Since you suspect me, then search me."

If we find nothing, what will you do then?

Qin Xiulian felt a little uneasy after hearing Lu Qingqing's words.

But Liu Cuihua, standing to the side, fanned the flames aggressively, saying:

"Search if you want, if you can't find anything..."

Hmph, we'll apologize to you.

If you find it, just you wait and see!

Lu Qingqing glared angrily and snorted coldly:

"Alright, then search! I want to see what you can find!"

The crowd rushed in and searched high and low in the yard and house.

Liu Cuihua went completely mad.

I went to the kitchen on purpose, wanting to dig every corner out of the house.

after awhile,

No one noticed anything.

Liu Cuihua's eyes darted around.

He rushed to the woodpile and frantically rummaged through it, pulling out the bundle.

She opened the bundle with extreme pride.

I originally thought I would see what I wanted.

But upon seeing the note inside,

He was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Qin Xiulian eagerly leaned over to take a look.

The note read, "Wishing Father boundless blessings and a speedy recovery."

Lu Qingqing's heartfelt blessings.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Qingqing strode forward, her eyes burning with anger, and roared:

"Mother, sister-in-law, is this the result you wanted?"

I sincerely wish my father well.

Yet you use such filthy thoughts to speculate about me.

Have you all lost your conscience?

Qin Xiulian stammered, her voice trembling:

"This...this..."

Liu Cuihua's eyes widened, but she still stubbornly tried to argue:

"This...this definitely wasn't what you put here at the beginning! You must have used some trick!"

Lu Qingqing trembled with rage and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Enough! You're slandering me so wantonly!"

Do you really think I'm a pushover?

If I am not given a satisfactory explanation for what happened today,

I immediately went to report this to the authorities and let them judge the matter!

At this moment, people in the crowd also angrily criticized the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Exactly! It's going too far to frame someone without any evidence!"

"Miss Lu was just trying to be kind, and you all act so cruelly!"

Qin Xiulian turned pale with fright and hurriedly pleaded:

"My dear, we were wrong."

We shouldn't have suspected you so easily; please don't report us to the authorities!

Lu Qingqing glared at them fiercely and said through gritted teeth:

"I hope you will behave yourselves in the future."

Stop doing such heinous and hurtful things!

Otherwise, I will absolutely not let this go!

After saying that, she chased everyone out.

The courtyard gate slammed shut with a "bang".

The people who had been dragged along by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to watch the spectacle immediately scoffed and left.

Someone muttered dismissively as they walked:

"This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are always doing unreliable things."

To falsely accuse someone for no reason is just asking for trouble!

"Exactly, it made us all go through all that trouble."

I didn't see anything, and I got myself into all this bad luck!

Another person chimed in, quickening their pace.

"Don't waste your time following their lead in the future!"

An old man shook his head, sighed, and left.

After a while

The people who had been gathered at the entrance had all left.

Only Qin Xiulian and Liu Cuihua, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were left standing there.

Qin Xiulian complained about Liu Cuihua:

"What terrible ideas did you come up with!"

Now look what happened! Not only have we made a fool of ourselves, but we've also offended everyone!

After saying this, he went home angrily.

Liu Cuihua chased after her, constantly trying to explain herself:

"Mother, how was I supposed to know it would turn out like this? I was only doing it for the good of our family."

Qin Xiulian angrily poked Liu Cuihua's head with her finger:

"For our own good? Humph, you're just deliberately trying to make us unhappy!"

Liu Cuihua was so anxious she was almost in tears:

"Mom, please don't be angry anymore. I won't do it again."

Qin Xiulian didn't turn her head, and replied angrily:

"There's a future? You've really ruined this time!"

Liu Cuihua could only follow silently, not daring to utter a sound.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home in silence.
