My Father in Law is Lu Bu C549

“I found it!” Chen Quan shouted as though he was mad.

“Lord Huang She! I found it!” Chen Quan shouted but Huang She ignored him. Huang She's face was pale. Liu Biao planned to call his father back. When that happens, his father may not kill him but he would definitely lose his status as heir.

On the other hand, Huang Kai was happy. One way or another, he is the one that profits. If Huang She loses his status as heir, the next in line would be him. Although the Huang Family would be suppressed by the Cai Family, they would still be influential.

Huang Kai planned to contact Lady Cai after this matter with preparations to rely on her help for securing his position in the Huang Family. After all, he and Huang Chen were like subordinates to Huang She. Huang Kai would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Chen Quan turned towards Huang Kai when he was ignored by Huang She. However, he was trying to think of a way to vow his loyalty to Lady Cai and had no time to bother with Chen Quan.

“Are you all useless? Drag him out right now!” Lady Cai shouted in a panic when she saw that Chen Quan had knocked over the teapot.

“Yes!” The guards no longer bothered beating up Chen Quan and took out their swords. Since Chen Quan was holding onto the table with his hand, they could just cut off his hand and drag him away.

Chen Quan panicked at the sight of the sword. He grabbed onto a teacup and shouted. “I have found the evidence that Lady Cai is pregnant!”

“Nonsense! Drag him away!” Lady Cai's tone was no longer calm.

Chen Quan's shouts was not without effect. It was able to distract the guard for a bit. Chen Quan took this opportunity to run towards Huang She and slap him.

The slaps resounded loudly. Chen Quan may be old but he still had enough strength to achieve this in a desperate situation. Liu Biao would not listen to him but maybe he would listen to Huang She. The reason Chen Quan did not choose Huang Kai to help him out is because Huang Kai might kill him to seek refuge. The slaps caused two red prints to appear on Huang She's face.

“Chen Quan! I will kill you!” Huang She's first thought after snapping out of his stupor was to kill Chen Quan and moved to strangle the man. He still believed that Chen Quan caused him to end up this way. Not only did they fail to take down Lady Cai but Liu Biao got angry enough to want to call Huang Zu. Huang Zu was no longer important in Jiangxia but there was still turmoil in Changsha. It was the border with barbarians on the other side. Normally, the general wouldn't leave but Liu Biao was determined to call him back because of Huang She. Even if he was not executed, he would definitely not face a good ending.

“Stop! Stop!” Chen Quan could barely breathe as he was being strangled. How was he supposed to finish speaking?

“I will strangle you to death!” Huang She yelled as he increased his grip strength.

“Stop!” Lady Cai said as she watched the scene. Even though she said that, she actually wanted Chen Quan to die. Meanwhile, the guards did not know what to do and stared blankly.1

Chen Quan's face started to turn purple. He knew he would soon die but was unable to push Huang She away. However, he still had a piece of the broken porcelain in his hand. Without any leeway to care about Huang She's status, Huang Chen slashed Huang She in the shoulder with the broken porcelain. He did not dare go for the neck or the face.

Huang She screamed in pain. If it was anyone else, he would definitely have the culprit dismembered in his anger. However, this time he felt happy because Chen Quan quickly told him that he found the pregnancy medicine.

Seeing that the two have separated, the guards once again moved in to detain them.

“We found it!” Huang She suddenly shouted. Liu Biao could ignore Chen Quan's words but he had to listen to Huang She.2

“Get out of the way! I need to see my uncle! I need to see the Lord!” Huang She struggled. The guards did not dare fight back too hard due to Huang She's status. He could not afford to offend the Huang Family.3

Huang She did his best to reach Liu Biao. “Uncle! Milord! We have found evidence that Lady Cai is pregnant!”

“Master. Huang She is already bewitched by a swindler!” Lady Cai said.

“Nonsense! Take him away!” Liu Biao no longer trusted Huang She.

“Chen Quan. Are you lying to me?” Huang She asked.

“Lord Huang She. The both of us will have trouble surviving this. What is the point of me lying to you? Will I survive if I lie to you?” Chen Quan replied.

“Milord! Just trust me one time! If Chen Quan could not provide evidence, it would not be too late to arrest us!” Huang She said as he started to kowtow to Liu Biao. He decided to take the risk.

“Uncle. You watched me grow up! Just listen to me for a short moment!”

Hearing Huang She call him uncle so many times caused Liu Biao to become soft hearted. Lady Cai knew this was not good and wanted to interrupt but she missed her chance to do so.

“Alright. Speak.” The soft hearted Liu Biao allowed Huang She to speak.

“Thank you Milord! Chen Quan, come!” Huang She said as he gave a stern gaze.

“Lord Governor. The evidence is in my hands and on the floor.”

“In your hands an on the floor? Are you messing with me?” Liu Biao furrowed his brows.

“This one doesn't dare! The contents of that teapot is not tea!” Chen Quan replied.

“Then what is it?”

“It is the Thirteen Taibao!”

“What is that?”

“The Thirteen Taibao is a medicine used for a calm pregnancy. They use it when they are three months pregnant!”

“How could that be?” Liu Biao could not believe it.

“If Lord Governor does not believe me, you can find a different doctor! They will definitely tell you what this medicine is!” Chen Quan replied.

“Milady. What is this?” Liu Biao asked Lady Cai with suspicion.

“What calm pregnancy medicine? Nonsense! It is just medicine for a cold!” Lady Cai was panicking because Chen Quan was correct. However, she managed to keep a calm expression as there weren't much of the medicine left. On top of that, she had already masked the scent of the medicine with tea. Only those that were truly skilled would be able to detect this. Even if they were to call in another doctor, it was possible that they could not identify this medicine.

Liu Biao still called in a few other doctors4. However, these doctors all weren't as good as Chen Quan so they could only shake their heads and say they do not know. There were too many other smells there for them to be certain.

Just as all hope seemed lost for Chen Quan and Huang She, Xiao Cao came back shouting. “Miss! The medicine is ready!”5

Lady Cai turned pale.

Chen Quan was stunned for a while and then remembered there was still the abortion medicine. He quickly rushed towards Xiao Cui.

“Eh? Who are you?” Xiao Cui asked in confusion. In her hand was the medicine for abortions. Then this old man came up to her to smell and drink the medicine.

“Correct. This is that smell! This is medicine for abortion!” Chen Quan shouted happily.

“M, Master!” Xiao Cui realized that there was trouble after seeing everyone in the room. The doctors that have not left the room cupped their fists towards Liu Biao and confirmed that this medicine was abortion medicine. Some of them also became certain that the tea they smelled earlier was the Thirteen Taibao.

Liu Biao who heard their words became very unhappy.

“Uncle! This proves that I am not speaking without thinking! I have proven that Lady Cai is pregnant!” Huang She was happy that the situation finally changed.

“Cai Yi. Do you have anything else to say?” Liu Biao asked unhappily as he looked at Lady Cai. Cai Yi was her actual name.6 It was a name Lady Cai had not used ever since she married Liu Biao.

“So you found out?” Lady Cai did not explain herself and simply admitted it bitterly. Lady Cai got off the bed. As the room was warm due to the presence of a fireplace, her clothing was not particularly thick. As a result, her three month pregnant belly could be seen bulging a little.

The abortion medicine may just a medicine that improves blood circulation to normal people but with so many doctors around, many of them would definitely diagnose her as pregnant. So there was no point denying it.

“Tell me. Who is it?” Liu Biao asked angrily. He was the Lord of Jingzhou and the most respected person in this place. When he was young, he was the distinguished person that takes other people's wife, not the other way around.

“Does it matter?” Lady Cai asked indifferently. Since she could not escape, she might as well endure the punishment alone.

“Uncle. Wasn't she at Jingshan three months ago? I heard the King of Shu was also there.” Huang She incited.

“The King of Shu Liu Mang?” Liu Biao did not care if this was true or false. He needed to vent his anger on someone. “Liu Mang! I want your life!”
