Chapter 52: The Age of Death
"I'll be here soon."
After Mama Xu left, Liu Lu acted as if nothing had happened, pinned the lock of hair that was deliberately scattered on her forehead to show her charm behind her ear, hooked the corners of her mouth and said: "By the way, you shouldn't know yet, Your Highness personally said that I would accompany Mama Xu to purchase a birthday gift, so you don't have to go." ”
Liu Lu's words contained a bright show off and provocation, "The consistent rules of the Guogong Mansion, except for those who are not married, the birthday gifts of each courtyard are all purchased by the hostess, but unfortunately you are not used to give you the opportunity." ”
Now she can also help with the procurement of birthday gifts, and what this means is almost self-evident.
It turned out that His Royal Highness the Prince had already identified her.
Don't talk about concubines, she can compete for the position of young lady in the future.
However, Jiang Yan's next words were like a slap in her face, brutally waking her up.
"You are useful, then you have been serving by Shen Lian's side for so many years, why can't you mix up the connecting room? Is it because you don't like it? ”
Liu Lu was so angry that his face turned blue, and the hatred in his heart grew wildly, and he lowered his voice harshly and viciously, "Jiang Yan, your death is coming, I see how long you can be proud!" ”
If Jiang Yu is not allowed to leave the mansion horizontally, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in her heart!
Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows slightly, she wanted to see what kind of demon Liu Lu was going to be.
Liu Lu left, and after a stick of incense, someone came to clean Jiang Yan's bedroom.
Jiang Yu calculated, and her grounding was lifted the day before the old lady's birthday banquet.
Two days have passed, and the rare calm has passed, Liu Lu wants to continue to instigate others to secretly block her, but unfortunately the fate of Chunxue is in front of her, and no one dares to stand up for her anymore, and at the same time, she is also more afraid of Jiang Yu.
After the grounding was lifted, the red warbler who was about to be suffocated finally felt at ease.
And Jiang Wei still rarely goes out, which is no different from when she was grounded.
"Master, what are you going to wear for tomorrow's birthday banquet?"
The old lady's sixtieth birthday, almost all the family valves with heads and faces in the capital will come to congratulate her birthday, and there is no room for sloppiness, and Hongying helped Jiang Yu prepare early.
"What do you think of this silk skirt with gold threads? There is also this cloud brocade purple silk and emerald pattern skirt, and there is also ......"
Jiang Wei held her forehead helplessly, every time she picked out clothes for her, this girl was always very excited.
"It's okay to be ordinary, don't be too prominent."
She didn't want to be in the spotlight and get into trouble on that occasion.
Jiang Yu didn't want to go, but if she didn't go, she wouldn't be able to go, otherwise she wouldn't take the old lady seriously.
Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, and tonight's Guogong Mansion is busy, and the sound of chaos outside can still be heard where Jiang Yu lives.
The old lady's birthday gift Shen Lian will not attend, Shen Lian seems to be busy with a big case recently, he has not returned for two days, and he will not be able to return home in about five days, and he just missed the birthday banquet.
The sunset is the busiest time of the day.
A sneaky figure took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the back kitchen, which was so busy that no one paid attention to her.
Liu Lu is specially dressed like the red warbler from her clothes to her hair, and her figure is similar to that of the red warbler, almost as real as the fake.
She carefully looked left and right, and sneaked to the meal prepared for the people of Baomo Hall.
The food had been packed into the food box, she opened it one by one, and found the two food boxes with the best dishes, which must have been prepared for the old grandmothers.
Liu Lu took out the small paper bag that fell out of Jiang Wei's dress that day from her cuffs, and quietly sprinkled the white powder into it.
She held the paper bag in her palm, and faced everyone with the back of her hand, her movements were very subtle and fast, and she looked from a distance as if she was just checking the dishes, and she couldn't tell that she was poisoning at all.
Silently, she folded the paper bag that had hidden a little powder and threw a hairpin the size of her tail finger under the stove at her feet.
After doing all this, she hurried away with her head down.
The kitchen was still busy, and no one noticed that Liu Lu had been here and had been poisoned.
She took out the bag of dirty clothes hidden in the grass and stuffed the paper bag into it.
I took it to the washroom and threw my clothes on the ground.
"Jiang Niang of Changmo Academy, you don't need to send it back after washing, she will send someone to pick it up."
A working mother-in-law responded, "Yes." ”
After doing all this, Liu Lu felt relaxed, clapped his hands and left.
Next, she just had to wait for the news from the old lady.
What she wants to do is very simple, that is, to make a big noise and let the old lady find out about Jiang Yan's head.
What could be more than the old lady's side being poisoned?
Especially tomorrow is the old lady's 60th birthday, and if such an unfortunate thing happens at such an important juncture, Jiang Wei will definitely be stripped of a layer of skin, and this is still light, the old lady will kill her.
Liu Lu didn't have the courage to poison the old lady, otherwise the time would alarm the criminal department to take action, and it would harm the whole family, but poisoning the grandmother next to the old lady would not only cause the old lady to be angry, but also not be too harsh.
Her plan was seamless, at most, tonight, Jiang Yan would be approached by an angry old lady and taken to the door for severe interrogation.
This time, even Shen Jian is not in the house, see who can protect her!
Willow Green returned to her lodgings, and she was ready to move, eager and nervous to keep an eye on the movement outside.
She waited from dusk until dark, and then waited until midnight, and it was still quiet outside.
Liu Lu was so sleepy that he forced himself to cheer up with his fingernails, from the initial urgency to the current boredom.
She could only comfort herself, it might be that Jiang Yumai's poison attack was slow, and there would always be news when she waited.
However, the whole night passed, even close to noon, and nothing happened.
Liu Lu smashed the teacup in anger at the moment, and the whole person couldn't help but be manic and angry, why has there been no movement for so long.
The birthday banquet was about to start at noon, and Liu Lu had to put away his temper and start grooming.
When Liu Lu went out, he happened to bump into Jiang Yu.
Liu Lu's face was gloomy, staring at Jiang Yan as if she was looking at a prisoner.
The red warbler muttered in a low voice: "Master, what is she looking at?" ”
"Who cares about her." Jiang Yu led the red warbler away quickly, without even looking at Liu Lu, which really made Liu Lu angry.
The birthday banquet is located in Qiongfang Hall, which is the most magnificent and spacious place in the Guogong Mansion, with glazed tiles on the roof, the most precious rosewood floor on the ground, and hanging gold wire lanterns everywhere.
There are countless golden silk nanmu tables on both sides, and a huge open space can be left in the middle for dancers and musicians.
The guests came one after another, and Jiang Yan's status was low, so she was arranged to sit at the last seat.
She's happy too, and the last thing is that no one pays attention to it.
But she didn't notice it at all, a slightly hot gaze always looked at her from time to time.
