Chapter 291: Stratagem
In the evening, Jiang Xuan returned to Yuyuan.
Lu Qingrong's affairs had already been busy, and he was waiting for him to have dinner together at this time.
Although Jiang Xuan tried his best to control his expression, Lu Qingrong could still see that his face was wrong.
After instructing the maids to set the meal, when only the two of them were left in the hall, Lu Qingrong asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Xuan had a calm face, and opened his mouth with a sense of loss: "Today, I asked a few reliable people about the incense, and they all said that it was the traces of sandalwood oil burning, and there was no abnormality." In particular, Master Sun also helped find a master who was good at this in the rivers and lakes, and he also assured that there was no sign of foreign matter mixed in it. ”
Although Lu Qingrong had already prepared in his heart, it was suddenly confirmed at this moment, and it was still difficult to hide his disappointment.
It had already been confirmed that there was no problem with the packet of medicine that Aunt Chen and Aunt Wei had kept for more than ten years, and now this incense has also been ruled out.
The only two clues have made no progress, and the mystery of Mrs. Jiang's sudden death has once again fallen into a dead knot.
Is there anything I don't know, or I don't have an idea?
Lu Qingrong pondered repeatedly in his heart, but he always felt that this was not the case.
She still insisted on her instincts a little, the description of what happened that night, the two aunts and Cao's mother were extremely detailed, and the most strange of them was incense and the medicine, if both were fine, Lu Qingrong could not believe it!
What went wrong?
Lu Qingrong always felt that something important seemed to have been ignored by him, but he couldn't think of anything for the time being.
"This matter is not urgent, we need to think about it in the long run." Lu Qingrong's words were not entirely to comfort Jiang Xuan, "You also said before that now is not the best time to pursue this matter, after all, the powerful backer of the Wu family is still ......"
Although there is no conclusion yet, Lu Qingrong seems to have decided that Mrs. Wu will definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
"That's all I have to think about first." After Jiang Xuan sighed, he took a deep breath, recovered a lot of energy, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, now we don't know as much as before!" Cao's mother and aunts helped recall the situation at that time, as well as those medicinal materials and medicinal residues and other things, and now they have recovered most of their mother's relics, which is already a great progress! ”
Lu Qingrong nodded yes.
After that, the two had dinner as usual.
And when Lu Qingrong took a bath, he walked out of the clean room, but Jiang Xuan was gone.
Lu Qingrong didn't even have to guess, he knew that he must have gone to the warehouse where Mrs. Jiang's relics were placed in the back.
didn't want to disturb him, Lu Qingrong lay alone in the room, waiting for him to come back.
However, it wasn't until nearly an hour later, when she gradually fell asleep, that Jiang Xuan returned to the inner room and lay down quietly beside her......
At this time, what they didn't know was that Jiang Xuan's whereabouts in the past two days had been remembered by people with hearts.
In the middle of the night, there was a dim small lamp in Wu Qiniang and Wu Shiniang's house.
"You said that the prince went to that warehouse again today?" Wu Siniang was surprised.
"Hai Zheng went in one moment, and came out after the hour!" Wu Qiniang even knew the time in such detail.
"How do you know?"
"What's so hard about that! The mothers-in-law who are on duty at night in the backyard are always open-mouthed, especially on the night of this winter, there is a pot of warm wine, and they can't hold a word in their hearts! ”
"Or do you have a way!" Wu Siniang sincerely admired, "I just don't know, why does the prince always go there?" ”
"Who says I don't know?" Wu Qiniang raised her eyebrows and asked, looking confident.
"Good sister! Don't sell it to me! Wu Siniang came over and tugged at her sleeve and said coquettishly.
Wu Qiniang lowered her voice: "In the evening, while I was setting a meal for the prince and his wife, everyone was busy, I quietly went to Qinyi Courtyard, met Mother Lu, and asked her old man a lot of things in the house!" ”
"Can she tell you the truth?" Wu Siniang recalled that when they first came to the Hou Mansion, they followed behind the inner servants who passed the decree, and Mrs. Wu and Mother Lu at that time looked at them with eyes, but they were not friendly at all!
"Have you forgotten what the Queen Mother told us before we came to the Hou Mansion?" Wu Qiniang reminded him.
Wu Qiniang then remembered that the Empress Dowager did say that when they came to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Wu would definitely be a little uneasy at first, but over time, she would soon figure it out and become their help.
And that's exactly what happened.
After all, Mrs. Wu and the Queen Mother are not at the same level, and the disparity in status makes the relationship between them unequal. The Queen Mother can snub her at will, but she can't take the initiative to alienate her.
Therefore, when she wanted to understand this layer, she could only tell Mother Lu to help these two maids if she could.
"Then what did Mother Lu tell you?" Wu Siniang hurriedly asked.
"Mother Lu was a little unsure at first, but when I told Mother Cao about moving things to the warehouse, she immediately realized that it was definitely the relics of the deceased Mrs. Jiang!"
When Wu Qiniang said this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Lu's mother also said...... The two of us are somewhat similar to Mrs. Jiang back then......"
"Huh?" Wu Shi Niang didn't react for a while, and after a long time, she slapped her head, "In this way, we can find a way to make the prince touch the scene!" Through his longing for Mrs. Jiang, he loves the house and the ...... Maybe it's a good idea! ”
"Exactly." Wu Qiniang nodded, "Originally, I was struggling to know where to start!" Come to think of it, that Cailian is flamboyant enough, Caimei is scheming, and both of them are not inferior to you and me in appearance, but no matter how much they toss, they can't enter the eyes of the prince, so it can be seen that they are going the wrong way! ”
"Yes!" Wu Siniang looked disdainful and sneered: "When we first entered the mansion, those two tortured themselves into that ghost, so thin that they could be blown away by a gust of wind, and the prince was stunned that he didn't look at them more!" ”
"This time, we have the upper hand." Wu Qiniang was much calmer than her, paused slightly, and asked, "It's just that it's not good for the two of us to go over together, it seems that we can only divide the ......."
"I'll go first!" Wu Siniang did not hesitate at all, and at the same time raised her red and swollen hands: "And this!" When the time comes, I don't believe that the prince will not feel pity......"
Wu Qiniang lowered her eyes, as if she was embarrassed for a moment, before she raised her head and said, "Okay!" You go first! I will find a way to get people to help keep an eye on it, and when the prince goes to the treasury next time, you must seize the opportunity and adapt to the situation......"
It was late at night, and the two reached a consensus.
As everyone knows, on the second day, the opportunity came. R1152
