Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 270

Sheng Fei initially only intended to test Old Mrs. Lu based on the clues she had and also because of a bold suspicion in her heart. However, she didn’t expect Old Mrs. Lu to deny it outright.

If she had admitted to seeing Lu Sanya, it would have been one thing, but her anxious denials and shifting expressions clearly indicated that something was amiss.

Sheng Fei shot a glance at Old Mrs. Lu and sneered.

“Should we call Aunt Zhang over for a confrontation? She definitely saw you holding Lu Sanya’s hand at the time. When you took her away, Sanya was clearly unwilling, which means you forced her. What exactly happened?

If you don’t tell the truth, when the police arrive, you can explain it to them. The last person Lu Sanya saw was definitely you.”

Upon hearing Sheng Fei mention the police, Old Mrs. Lu, who was most afraid of them, glanced nervously at Lu Ting and Sheng Fei and fell silent.

If Old Mrs. Lu was innocent, she would have cursed immediately. Now that Old Mrs. Lu was quiet, it was clear she knew something.

Lu Ting’s pupils constricted as he stepped forward to question Old Mrs. Lu.

“Mom, so you know where Lu Sanya is? Where is she now? You’ve got to tell me quickly. We’ve been searching for so long, please just say it. What happened?

Why did Sheng Fei say you were the last person to see Lu Sanya? If you did see her, why didn’t you mention it when we were looking for her just now?”

Lu Ting fixed his gaze on Old Mrs. Lu as he stood right in front of her.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuxia and Lu Jianguo didn’t expect that a neighbor had seen Old Mrs. Lu holding Lu Sanya’s hand.

Old Mrs. Lu’s heart sank. Her eyes darted around, unable to meet Lu Ting and Sheng Fei’s gaze.

Just a moment ago, she was scolding Sheng Fei for her negligence, but now she was clearly feeling guilty. Sheng Fei didn’t have time to argue with Old Mrs. Lu. Every minute counted, and Lu Sanya could be in greater danger.

When Lu Jianguo pressed Old Mrs. Lu about Lu Sanya’s whereabouts, Old Mrs. Lu reluctantly spoke.

“Yes, the last person to see Lu Sanya was indeed me. I was taking her to the county. She didn’t want me to carry her, so I told her I was taking her to the county to see Lu Ting.”

Old Mrs. Lu’s voice grew softer. Although she had spoken the truth, Lu Ting felt a chill in his heart.

Old Mrs. Lu had always disliked these five children. It was unbelievable that she would take Lu Sanya to the county to find him.

“Mom, why did you tell Sanya to come to the county to find me? I know you don’t like her and don’t want to see her, so why deceive Sanya into thinking she was coming to find me? What’s going on here?

You sent Sanya to find me, but it seems that’s not the case. You had ulterior motives, right? Hurry up and explain!

Mom, Sanya is my life. Even if you don’t like her, I’ve already treated her like my own daughter.”

Under pressure, Old Mrs. Lu had no choice but to tell the truth.

Her tone was quite harsh.

“What own daughter? She’s just a wild child of Shen Qin. That girl doesn’t even regard me as her grandmother. She’s just a girl. If she’s gone, then she’s gone. What’s the point of searching for her?

She’s already gone anyway, so you all don’t need to look anymore. I’m telling you, she’s gone. There are still five children, losing one doesn’t matter. She’s just a girl, not worth much.”
