Chapter 52 Death
"I'll be right there ma'am."

After Madam Xu left, Liu Lu acted as if nothing had happened, and tied the lock of hair on her forehead behind her ears to show coquettishness, and said with the corner of her mouth curled up: "By the way, you probably don't know, Your Highness Tell me personally that I can accompany Nanny Xu to buy birthday gifts, so you don't have to go."

Liu Lu's words were full of flamboyance and provocation, "It is a consistent rule of the Duke's Mansion that except for those who are not married, the hostess is the one who buys birthday gifts in all courts. It's a pity that you are useless if you are given a chance."

Now that she can also help buy birthday gifts, what this means is almost self-evident.

It turned out that His Royal Highness had already recognized her.

Not to mention the concubine's room, she will be able to compete for the position of the young lady in the future.

However, what Jiang Wu said next was like a slap on her face, cruelly waking her up.

"You are useless, so you have been serving Shen Fu for so many years, why can't you get a connecting room? Is it because you don't like it?"

Liu Lu was so angry that her face turned blue, and the hatred in her heart grew wildly, and she lowered her voice meanly and viciously, "Jiang Wu, your death is coming soon, let me see how long you can be proud!"

If Jiang Wu is not allowed to leave the country's government, it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in her heart!

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, but she wanted to see what kind of demon Liu Lu was going to be.

Liu Lu left, and after a stick of incense, servants came to clean Jiang Wu's bedroom.

Jiang Wu did the math, and her confinement was lifted just one day before the old lady's birthday banquet.

Two days passed, and the weather was rare, Liu Lu wanted to continue to instigate others to add trouble to her secretly, but it was a pity that Chun Xue's end was in front of her, and no one dared to stand up for her anymore, and at the same time, she had a little more love for Jiang Wu. fear.

After the restraint was lifted, Hongying, who was almost suffocated, was finally at ease.

And Jiang Wu still seldom goes out, almost the same as when she was grounded.

"Master, what will you wear for the birthday party tomorrow?"

For the old lady's [-]th birthday, almost all the famous and famous families in the capital will come to celebrate her birthday, so there is no room for sloppy, Hong Ying helped Jiang Wu prepare for it early.

"What do you think of this gold-stitched silk skirt? There is also this brocade, purple silk and emerald pattern skirt, and..."

Jiang Wu held her forehead helplessly, every time she picked clothes for her, this girl was always very happy.

"Just be ordinary, don't be too outstanding."

She didn't want to be the center of attention on that occasion and cause trouble.

Jiang Wu didn't want to go at first, but she couldn't if she didn't, otherwise she wouldn't take the old lady seriously.

Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, and tonight the Duke's mansion is busy, and the place where Jiang Wu lives can still hear the commotion outside.

Shen Fu will not attend the old lady's birthday ceremony. Shen Fu seems to be busy with a big case recently and has not returned for two days.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Hong Ying came in from the outside and closed the door, took out the bulging envelope and gave it to Jiang Wu, "The person we sent has returned from Yangzhou, what you asked for."

"Yin Bai did a good job in this matter, and there is a reward." Jiang Wu originally didn't expect to find this thing, but Yin Bai did it unexpectedly.

However, she still hopes that it is best if this thing is not used.

Otherwise, human life is at stake.

……

It was the busiest time of the day in the back kitchen, and a sneaky figure sneaked into the back kitchen. The back kitchen was so busy that no one paid any attention to her.

From her clothes to her hair, Liu Lu specially dressed up as Hong Ying usually does. Her figure is similar to Hong Ying, and she can almost be faked.

She looked around carefully, and sneaked to the place where the meals were prepared for the servants of Baomo Hall.

The meals had already been put into the food boxes, she opened them one by one to look, and found the two food boxes with the best dishes, they must be prepared for the old mothers.

Liu Lu took out the small paper bag that fell out of Jiang Wu's dress that day from her cuff, and quietly sprinkled the white powder into it.

With the paper bag in her palm, she faced the crowd with the back of her hand, her movements were very subtle and quick, as if she was just checking the dishes from a distance, and she couldn't tell that she was poisoning at all.

She quietly folded up the paper bag that had hidden a little powder, and threw a pearl hairpin the size of her little finger under the stove at her feet.

After doing all this, she lowered her head and left in a hurry.

The back kitchen was still in a hurry, and no one noticed that Liu Lu had come and poisoned her.

She found the bag of dirty clothes hidden in the grass, and stuffed the paper bag into it.

Take it to the washroom, and throw the clothes on the ground.

"Ms. Jiang's from Changmoyuan, you don't need to send it back after washing it, she will send someone to pick it up."

A working woman responded, "Yes."

After finishing all this, Liu Lu felt relaxed, clapped her hands and left.

Next, she just had to wait for news from the old lady.

What she has to do is very simple, that is, to make a big noise and let the old lady find Jiang Wu.

What could be more disturbing than the poisoning of the nanny who served beside the old lady?

Especially tomorrow is the old lady's [-]th birthday, if such an unlucky thing happens at such an important moment, Jiang Wu will definitely be skinned, and this is still light, the old lady will probably kill her.

Liu Lu didn't have the guts to poison the old lady, otherwise the Ministry of Criminal Justice would be alerted to take action, and the whole family might be harmed, but poisoning the nurses around the old lady would not only cause the old lady to be furious, but would not be too strict Harsh.

Her plan was flawless, but tonight at most, Jiang Wu would be approached by the furious old lady and brought her to torture for interrogation.

This time even Shen Fu is not in the mansion, let's see who can keep her!

Liu Lu returned to her residence, ferociously imagining the desolate scene when Jiang Wu was executed alive and the body was thrown out of the mansion, eagerly and nervously paying attention to the movement outside.

She waited from dusk until dark, and then until midnight, and it was still quiet outside.

Liu Lu was so sleepy, she pinched her flesh with her nails to force herself to cheer up, from the initial urgency to the current boredom.

She could only comfort herself, it might be that the poison Jiang Wu bought was slow in onset, and there will always be news after waiting.

However, the whole night passed, even near noon, nothing happened.

Wu Qing was so angry that Liu Lu smashed the teacup under her eyes, she couldn't help but feel furious, why on earth has there been no movement for so long.

The birthday banquet was about to begin at noon, Liu Lu had to put down her temper and began to groom.

When Liu Lu went out, she happened to bump into Jiang Wu.

Liu Lu's face was full of hostility, and she stared at Jiang Wu as if she were a prisoner.

Hongying whispered: "Master, what is she looking at?"

"Who cares about her." Jiang Wu led Hongying away quickly, without even looking at Liu Lu, really made Liu Lu very angry.

The birthday banquet is held in Qiongfang Hall, which is the most magnificent and spacious place in the Duke's Mansion. The roof is glazed tiles, the floor is covered with the most precious red sandalwood floor, and golden silk lanterns can be seen everywhere.

There are countless golden nanmu tables on both sides, and there is still a huge space in the middle for dancers and musicians.

The guests came one after another, and Jiang Wu's status was low, so she was arranged to sit at the last seat.

She is also happy to be at ease, the advantage of the last seat is that no one will pay attention to it.

But she didn't notice at all, a slightly hot gaze always looked at her from time to time.
