Chapter 357 Old Lady Lu is making trouble again

As dusk fell, the vermilion lacquered door of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion slowly opened. The housekeeper had already been waiting at the door with the servants.

Lu Jiangnian turned around and offered his hand to help Yuan Wanru get out of the car.

She held his wrist, her skirt swaying slightly, and she stepped on the footstool and landed steadily. She looked up at the door of the mansion, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.

She whispered, "Finally I'm back."

Lu Jiangnian held her hand, his eyes soft, "Let's go, mother must be waiting anxiously."

In Wangchun Hall, Wang Min grabbed Yuan Wanru's hand and looked her up and down, "Why do you look thinner? Did the servants in the other courtyard not serve you well?"

Yuan Wanru smiled and shook her head: "I feel like I've gained weight. I've been eating and sleeping all day in the other courtyard, and my chin has become round."

Wang Min was amused by her. After laughing, she turned to look at Lu Jiangnian: "How about you? Is your injury healed?"

Lu Jiangnian smiled helplessly: "Mom, I'm fine now."

Wang Min finally breathed a sigh of relief and rambled on about trivial matters: "You said you would come back today, I didn't expect you to arrive at this time, but it's okay, it's too hot to travel at noon, it's okay to be late."

Yuan Wanru held Wang Min's hand affectionately and said, "Mom, I brought you some local specialties from the other courtyard, as well as fish from the lake. We'll eat fish later, okay?"

Wang Min felt warm in her heart. "Child, whenever you go out, you always think of me. Okay, let's eat fish tonight."

Lu Jiangnian smiled and said, "Mom, I think she is thinking about eating fish, not you. She said several times on the way that she wants to drink fish soup when she gets home."

Wang Min glared at him and said, "I raised this child, how could I not know about him? Humph, if you don't care about him, why don't you allow my daughter-in-law to care about him?"

"Raising a son is not caring at all."

At this moment, the warm laughter makes people temporarily forget all the conspiracies and calculations.

And, next door to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Liang Yusong sat quietly in her boudoir, her fingertips tightly grasping a secret letter, her knuckles turning white from the force.

This is a letter from the Second Prince’s Mansion.

Liang Yusong knew about and approved of the Second Prince's assassination of Lu Jiangnian.

Moreover, it was she who suggested to the Second Prince that he have his assassins smear poison on the blades of their swords. Unexpectedly, even with all of his elite troops, the Second Prince still failed.

Lu Jiangnian was like an immovable mountain. No matter what tricks they used, they could not shake him at all.

Liang Yusong felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

No, there must be a way to kill Lu Jiangnian.

Liang Yusong's face now looked extremely ugly, as pale as a female ghost.

Ever since Liang Zhi died, she often dreamed about her second brother.

In the dream, the second brother asked her: "Sister, do you regret it? If our family had not been involved in these royal family affairs, would I not be one?"

Every time at this time, she would wake up.

She did nothing wrong. She just wanted her family to move to the next level and become the number one family in the capital. What did she do wrong!

The wrong people are Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru!

"waste!"

She suddenly crumpled the letter into pieces, hatred surging in her eyes.

After a while, an idea suddenly came to her. If they couldn't kill Lu Jiangnian, they could kill Yuan Wanru first.

Didn’t Lu Jiangnian boast of his deep affection?

If Yuan Wanru died, he would be in great pain!

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up with a terrifying light. She picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter.

"Green calyx, give it to your cousin immediately."

"Lu Jiangnian, Yuan Wanru..." She murmured in a low voice, "You owe the Liang family, it's time to pay it back."

Outside the window, a cold wind blew, and the candlelight flickered, reflecting her gloomy face.

-

Imperial Palace, Huayang Palace.

Princess Liang leaned on the couch, her face pale, and she was furious when she saw the people kneeling below.

If Madam Zhaohua hadn't sent her the news, she wouldn't have known that Murong Xiao was impotent!

Everyone around her kept it a secret from her.

"Who gave you the courage to hide this from me? I've been in such a good mood lately that you dared to bully me!"

"I dare not. The Second Prince ordered me not to cause trouble to the Majesty."

"His Highness said that the Emperor was still angry, so the Queen had to be confined to her room. A month passed quickly."

"Besides, the rumors are not true. Your Highness is in good health."

Princess Liang didn't believe it.

Madam Zhaohua would not pass this news to her for no reason. That woman is always good at pretending, but she never acts rashly.

Her son, a prince, was actually plotted against like this?

"Someone come!" She sat up straight suddenly, her voice cold and stern, "Send Gao Peng to the palace and tell him that I have a sudden heart attack and need him to treat me immediately!"

Not long after, Gao Peng hurried into the palace.

Concubine Liang dismissed her attendants, leaving only her trusted maidservant by her side, and asked in a cold voice: "Doctor Gao, how is the Second Prince's health?"

Gao Peng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he whispered, "Your Highness, it is true that His Highness was poisoned. This poison is strange. It does not harm his life, but it damages... his Yang Yuan."

There was a flash of coldness in Princess Liang's eyes: "Is there a solution?"

Gao Peng shook his head: "This poison is rare, I, an old minister, will temporarily..."

"Who is it!"

Princess Liang slammed the table so hard that the teacup fell over, spilling the tea onto the brocade, creating a dark stain.

Gao Peng did not hide anything and told Concubine Liang the second prince's speculation: "It should be Lu Jiangnian who did it."

Lu Jiangnian!

Hearing this name, Concubine Liang was filled with murderous intent.

If I had known this earlier, I would have killed this damn Lu Jiangnian!

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Suddenly she thought of something and said coldly, "Lu Jiangnian was poisoned before, but he was safe and sound. Yu Song was also poisoned for no apparent reason. Now Xiao'er is also..."

She slowly raised her eyes, her eyes full of murderous intent: "There must be a master of poison and witchcraft beside Lu Jiangnian."

Gao Peng's heart trembled: "What the queen means is..."

Concubine Liang sneered: "Such a person must not be kept."

"Tell my men to find him and kill him, no matter the cost!"

Gao Peng knew that Concubine Liang had planted many spies outside the palace, and had always wanted to keep them for use at the critical moment. Unexpectedly, this time, they all came out in full force for a person whose background was unknown.

However, this is also a good thing, Gao Peng also wants to kill this person who has repeatedly frustrated him.

Lu Song went to the northern border, and like in previous years, he would write a letter home every month.

This month, his letter from home arrived again.

Wang Min opened the letter and was about to read it to everyone as usual, but after reading the content, he suddenly froze.

Madam Lu urged her, "Why are you daydreaming? If you don't want to read, bring it over and ask Aunt Shen to read it to me."

Before this, she secretly had someone write a letter to Lu Song, specifically accusing Wang Min and Lu Jiangnian as a couple.

In the letter, she portrayed herself as extremely miserable, being so angry that she couldn't get out of bed because Wang Min and her children disobeyed her.

Madam Lu believed that Lu Song must have written the letter to reprimand Wang Min, so Wang Min was too embarrassed to read it out.

snort!

Later, she would ask Aunt Shen to read it out loud and embarrass Wang Min.

Who would have thought that Wang Min folded the letter and stuffed it into her arms.

"This letter was written to me by the Marquis alone, so I won't read it."

Lu Jiangnian noticed something was wrong.

"In that case, then you should keep it yourself."

Mrs. Lu was not willing to agree.

"No, you said it was written to you, so it was written to you. I am his mother, and I don't believe it. He didn't mention me at all in the letter he wrote."

Wang Min is really fed up with Madam Lu.

I always feel that the older she gets, the more annoying she becomes.

"Wang, bring it to me."

Of course Wang Min didn't agree.

"You are becoming more and more presumptuous. You have no filial piety at all. Are you bullying me because I don't have a son around?"

"Go, call the second master back to me from the government office and tell him that I am pissed to death!"
