Chapter 125 The person behind the poisoning
Chapter 125 The person behind the poisoning
Lu Chenshuang had been dealing with the account books in Prince Zhan's mansion for several days in a row.
I have to say that the management ability of Prince Zhan's Mansion is quite good. The newly made account books are not only clear at a glance, but also have very few mistakes. The key is that they are very efficient.
This saves Lu Chenshuang a lot of trouble.
Because she was busy with the affairs of Prince Zhan's Mansion, Lu Chenshuang had not been to the Lu Mansion these days.
Therefore, Lu Chenshuang didn’t know much about the situation at the Lu Mansion.
That day, Lu Chenshuang came back from Prince Zhan's Mansion, and Shaoyao, who was with Lin, was waiting for her at home.
As soon as Lu Chenshuang saw Shaoyao, she smiled and asked, "Aunt Shaoyao, why are you here at this hour?
But is there anything wrong with my mother?"
Shaoyao quickly replied, "Madam said she knew you were usually busy, but she estimated that you should be back by this time, so she asked me to wait here.
Madam misses you and wants you to go home for dinner."
Lu Chenshuang nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and follow you."
Shaoyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will wait for you here."
Having said that, the hint of worry in Shaoyao's eyes did not escape Lu Chenshuang's eyes.
Guyu and Xiaoman helped Lu Chenshuang go back to her room to change clothes.
Lu Chenshuang changed into a simple and comfortable outfit and only used a simple jade hairpin to secure her hair.
The whole person looks simple, generous and easy-going.
Xiaoman looked at Lu Chenshuang and smiled, "Young lady, you look very homely dressed like this. It would be perfect for you to accompany Madam for dinner."
Lu Chenshuang sighed and said, "I guess this meal won't be very good."
Xiaoman asked in confusion: "How could that be? The young lady hasn't been there for several days, and the lady must have prepared a table of delicious food for her."
Guyu rolled her eyes and said, "Xiaoman, can you please stop thinking about food all the time?
The old lady's poisoning has not yet come to fruition."
Xiaoman then realized that the lady was not asking them to go back simply to eat today.
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "You really came to me for advice, and you also came to me for dinner.
You two should stop speculating here, you will know once you get there."
After saying this, Lu Chenshuang walked out of the room first.
Seeing this, Xiaoman and Guyu hurriedly followed.
Shaoyao was still waiting outside. Seeing that Lu Chenshuang was ready, she followed him back to the Lu Mansion.
They went directly to Lin's yard.
Lu Chenshuang didn't even think about paying her respects to Madam Lu and Lu Zhan.
A biased old lady and a scumbag father, she gets upset whenever she sees them.
If it weren’t for the Lin family in the Lu Mansion, Lu Chenshuang would not bother to come back.
Lin had someone prepare a large table of dishes, all of which were Lu Chenshuang's favorites.
As soon as Lu Chenshuang entered the courtyard, she heard Lin's constant instructions: "The young lady loves to eat this golden needle beef, put it in front of her.
There is also this braised pork, this crispy bamboo shoots, and this cumin lamb.”
Before Lin finished her words, she heard the little maid say, "Madam, the dishes we made today are all the Miss's favorites.
There is no more room in front of her.”
Lin then shut up, but after a while he spoke again: “Change the positions of the dishes I just mentioned.
Although the dishes made today are all Shuang'er's favorites, they still have to be prioritized.
Alas, it’s all Shuang’er’s fault. She hasn’t come back for many days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to serve all these dishes at once.”
When Lu Chenshuang heard this outside, she suddenly felt guilty for some reason, but at the same time, she felt warm in her heart.
So she deliberately made some noise so that Lin and the others could hear it.
Sure enough, after a while, Lin came out of the house.
Lu Chenshuang said with a smile: "Mom, I just heard you complaining about me behind my back."
Lin snorted and said, "Why should I complain behind your back? I will also complain to your face.
Mother didn't allow anyone to look for you, but you didn't even know to come back to see me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly stepped forward and apologized to Lin with a smile, "Mom, don't be angry, I'm here.
These past few days have been really busy.”
Lin knew that Lu Chenshuang had been helping out in Prince Zhan's mansion recently, but she just felt aggrieved. She had to see her own daughter at night.
What mother would treat her like this?
Seeing that Lin was unhappy, Lu Chenshuang quickly promised not to go to the Zhan Palace tomorrow and stay with Lin at Lu's Mansion. Only then did Lin become happy.
Then he quickly asked Lu Chenshuang to wash her hands and eat.
Not to mention that Lu Chenshuang was really hungry, and these were her favorite dishes, so she started to eat them without any hesitation.
Seeing Lu Chenshuang eating happily, Lin felt happy too and kept picking up food for her.
Lu Chenshuang kept putting food into her mouth and said, "Mom, don't just focus on me, eat too."
After saying that, he also picked up a few pieces of food for Lin.
Lin also started eating with a smile.
After the mother and daughter had almost finished eating, Lin sighed.
Lu Chenshuang knew that Lin was going to tell her something serious.
So he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Has the old lady's poisoning been resolved?"
Lin hummed in a depressed tone.
Lu Chenshuang said again: "But can we just find someone to take the blame and be done with it?"
Lin nodded again and said, "The person who poisoned the old lady was a sturdy maid next to her.
Originally, the people from Dali Temple had almost found out who was behind the incident, but your father suddenly stopped them from investigating.
They said that once the person who poisoned the food is found, the matter will be settled.
What's more, the old lady herself said that she didn't want an investigation and said that family disgrace should not be made public, so why must she make it known to everyone?
I just beat the nanny to death hastily. Mother always felt that there was something fishy about this matter."
Lu Chenshuang sneered after hearing this. This was obviously a setup.
Lu Chenshuang saw through it at the beginning. If someone really wanted to kill the old lady, how could they use such a mild poison?
And when Lu Chenshuang wanted to report to the police, Han's face was obviously panicked.
So Lu Chenshuang could conclude at that time that this matter was definitely related to the Han family.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Lu herself was also involved? Mrs. Lu was really a ruthless person. She actually used her own body to do something.
His purpose was nothing more than to seize back Lin's power as the head of the family and even swallow up Lin's dowry.
Lu Zhan is usually so smart in the court, why is he so confused when dealing with matters in the rear house?
Lu Chenshuang glanced at Lin and asked, "What do you think, mother? Or what do you plan to do? I support you."
Hearing this, Lin sighed and said, "I am really tired of living with your father for so many years, but when it comes to divorce, I really don't have the courage like you.
This incident was obviously the work of that bitch Han and the old woman.
If you hadn't insisted on reporting to the police, the blame would have been put on my mother.
Mother doesn't know what to do now, so I want Shuang'er to give her some advice."
Lu Chenshuang nodded after hearing this. It was rare that Lin would know to ask her for help.
