Chapter 427 She regrets!
Lu Mei's face was filled with surprise and shock.
Song Shaoyang walked up to her, his eyes cold, "Tell me, why don't you continue to frame me?"
"I did consider Lu Shao as my opponent in the imperial examination, but I don't want to do such a tasteless thing."
He snorted again: "I want to compete with him based on my strength."
"Only you and the people behind you would use such shameless means."
He knew that Qiao Ye bet one hundred thousand taels of silver on Lu Shaozhong to win the first prize, and he felt really envious and jealous.
At that time, he had only one thought in mind, that he must surpass Lu Shao in the imperial examination and take first place.
This will not only give me face and give an explanation to my family, but it may also make Qiao Ye look at me with a higher regard.
So maybe there were people who didn't want to and wanted to stop Lu Shao from taking the imperial examination, but he wasn't one of them.
Qiao Xiaolian returned home yesterday and brought him a piece of news.
They said Qiao Ye and Lu Shao asked him to go to the theater today, so he came during lunch time.
When I arrived, I found that the Kyoto prefect's yamen runners had also been called in.
Then waited for Lu Mei to appear.
He was not surprised that Lu Mei harmed Lu Shao. After all, he had carefully investigated everything about Lu Shao.
Originally, I felt a bit gloating about Lu Shao's misfortune, thinking that this guy was a problematic person and that even his own sister was trying to harm him.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Song Shaoyang was hit by a huge pot by Lu Mei.
This is because he had arrived at noon and had been here all the time, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
If he hadn't come to watch the show, wouldn't he have been successfully framed by Lu Mei?
That was too unfair to him.
Especially if this news gets out, he will become a laughing stock in the whole capital.
People would say he couldn't afford to play, was narrow-minded and was afraid of Lu Shao.
At this moment, his eyes turned colder and colder as he looked at Lu Mei. "I have never touched you, and I do not acknowledge you as my concubine."
"You dare to frame me this time. You'll have to stay in jail. The Song family won't tolerate you."
He will never let Lu Mei off easily.
Lu Mei's expression changed again, her eyes full of pleading, "Sir, I was forced to do this."
He betrayed his own father in an instant, "My father forced me to do this, I really didn't mean it."
"Please don't send me to jail."
She cried and begged for mercy in a delicate and pitiful manner.
But for Song Shaoyang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, it was as eye-catching as it could be.
He turned to Captain Li and said, "Take her away and interrogate the person behind her."
"Your master must not give a light sentence to such a foolish woman who dares to poison a scholar and frame a noble family."
This meant that he wanted Captain Li to convey his attitude to the Governor of Kyoto.
Captain Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Song. I will definitely tell the adults what you said."
After saying this, he gave a look to his subordinates.
Two people came forward and took Lu Mei away.
This time, Lu Mei was really panicked and scared.
She didn't want to go to jail, and seeing that Song Shaoyang was so cruel, she looked at Lu Shao and cried.
"Wulang, I really didn't mean it. Dad forced me to do this."
"I……"
She wanted to beg, cry and explain, but Lu Shao didn't want to listen.
He said to Captain Li, "Thank you for your trouble today. I will take you out now."
Captain Li smiled and nodded, "Mr. Lu is so polite. This is what we should do."
Of course, if it were an ordinary scholar, he wouldn’t have such a great honor to make them wait at his home for so long just to catch someone in the act.
Seeing that Lu Shao was so cold-hearted, Lu Mei was dragged out by two yamen runners.
She couldn't help but started cursing at Lu Shao.
He had only uttered two curses when one of the bailiffs covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Lu Shao walked the man to the door, took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into the pocket of Captain Li.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Take this little gift with your tea."
I have indeed troubled you to wait for a long time today, and I have given you all the benefits that you deserve.
If you have any problems in the future, you can just shout.
The smile in Captain Li's eyes became more sincere. He declined it once and then accepted it.
I thought that everyone said that Mr. Lu was a smart and insightful person.
Sure enough, he is not one of those nerds who cannot adapt.
He did not act arrogantly towards these low-class yamen runners.
Not only did Lu Shao not look down on them, he also treated them equally, which made them feel good about him.
Such people have a talent for studying, abilities, and background.
Not only can you make friends with the children of officials and aristocratic families, but you can also make friends with all kinds of people. Your future will definitely be bright, so you need to make as many friends as possible.
Lu Mei was taken away and couldn't help feeling regretful.
She really didn't expect Lu Shao and Song Shaoyang to be so cruel and send her directly to jail.
Otherwise, let alone sending chicken soup, she would definitely stay away from Lu Shao and his wife.
I don’t know if her father would try to save her if he knew that she was arrested.
At this moment, Lu Mei was still holding on to a slim hope.
But she obviously underestimated the matter.
After being taken to the Kyoto prefectural governor, she was first taken to the prison and then taken away by Xiao Jingchen's men.
Of course, he must be taken back and interrogated for colluding with traitors.
The final charge was not as simple as attempting to poison a scholar, but treason.
There is no escaping exile.
Lu Mei was taken away and forced to confess how she colluded with the rebels through various means.
Only then did she realize that her own father was so bold as to collude with the rebels.
Not only did he want to die, but he also wanted to hurt her on purpose.
Such a father is really black-hearted.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have listened to him.
Being locked up in a small dark room and being interrogated from time to time, Lu Mei almost collapsed.
He also regarded Lu Qingrong, his biological father, as the person he hated the most.
I told him everything I knew during my contact with Lu Qingrong.
I regretted it so much that I cried every day.
If she had known this, she should have been on the same page with her brother since she was in the village.
In particular, she couldn't help but think of all the kindness and protection Lu Shao had shown her.
There was once an opportunity to rise to prominence and live a good life with my younger brother.
Not only did she not cherish it, nor did she hold on to it, she also took the initiative to push it away one after another.
She regrets it!
She hated her biological father and stepmother to the core, thinking that it was all their fault that she became like this.
From now until the second half of her life and death, she has been living in regret.
Of course, this is something.
