Chapter 116 All of You Should Experience the Feeling of Losing a Close Family Member
"Madam, you are leaving the Zhou Mansion by faking your own death. You must be very careful during this period of time and stay indoors. The master said that there are many troubles around her. If your whereabouts are discovered, it will be troublesome."
The maid patiently explained to Liu Zhu that at the Zhou residence, Liu Mingyue had already used the death of her biological mother to attack them.
Once it was discovered that Concubine Liu, who was supposed to have died in the fire, was not dead, it would surely cause an uproar. Liu Zhu was not a scheming person, but she would understand such a simple truth. In addition, her daughter arranged a courtyard for her in the suburbs of Beijing, which showed that she had good intentions.
"Okay, if you can pass a message to my son, please tell her that I am fine here and ask her to take care of herself."
After that, Liu Zhu lived in the house.
Before deciding to start the plan, Liu Mingyue had already purchased all the necessary items in the house so that her mother could move in directly when she arrived under the escort of the servants.
The funeral of Concubine Liu was very simple because the Zhou family really had no money. It was a bit funny to say that the most expensive thing in the whole funeral was the coffin that Liu Mingyue bought for Concubine Liu.
"Today is the day of my aunt's funeral. I went to Zhou Mansion to inquire in advance, and I heard that it is very simple to buy a place." Peanut opened a small wooden box, took out a plain white silk flower and pinned it on Liu Mingyue's temples. Looking at his master dressed in white, Peanut's nose was sour.
"It would be strange if it wasn't easy. Zhou Baili's wedding has emptied the Zhou family's coffers. Of course they can't afford it."
Liu Mingyue looked calm, only her eyes were red and swollen, which she had deliberately rubbed when she got up early in the morning. Her demeanor, as if she was heartbroken, would be very effective if she didn't need to cry in front of the mourning hall later.
When she arrived at Zhou's house and learned that Liu Mingyue had returned, Zhao Yinlian was a little nervous in the side hall and kept looking at Old Madam Zhou.
She knew clearly that Aunt Liu's funeral was too simple, but if it was a grand one, no one in the Zhou family would have food to eat.
Just as everyone was trying to figure out Liu Mingyue's thoughts, wondering whether she would make a big scene or complain about the Zhou family's simple funeral, Liu Mingyue quietly burned incense in front of the coffin and knelt beside the brazier to burn some paper money before getting up.
She didn't cry or even say anything. Everyone in the Zhou residence was surprised but secretly relieved at the same time.
Fortunately, Liu Mingyue did not come back the same way as she did on the day of the fire. They were all worried that Liu Mingyue would go crazy and overturn the mourning hall. This might be a little outrageous for others, but it was perfectly reasonable for Liu Mingyue.
"In reply to the old lady and the madam, the Crown Prince's wife only burned incense and offered sacrifices to the spirits. She didn't say anything and is still in the mourning hall."
Hearing this, the two masters who were sitting upright breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Madam Zhou waved her hand and said, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the food quickly. After the meal, we can send them away quickly."
Old Madam Zhou's words were ambiguous. After the commotion in the mansion, she felt that Liu Mingyue and her daughter were the unlucky stars of the Zhou family.
After dinner, Aunt Liu's funeral was held. After the funeral, they would have nothing to do with Liu Mingyue for the time being.
After sending away Aunt Liu, of course, Liu Mingyue was also sent away. The old lady now only wants the mansion to have more stability.
After the servants left, Zhao Yinlian said in a surprised tone: "This guy is not a good person. Why is he so easy to talk to this time?"
Madam Zhou's sun trembled, and she looked out the hall door thoughtfully, "Perhaps she also knows that the Zhou Mansion is not as good as before, and her own dowry is almost used up, so naturally she can't say anything."
Zhao Yinlian agreed with Mrs. Zhou's explanation. Not only them, but everyone in the Zhou family thought so. If she hadn't been poor, why would she have said nothing?
Outside the mourning hall with white curtains, a figure in plain clothes walked stealthily. Unlike the grief of the people keeping vigil inside the hall, her gaze fell on a kneeling person, and the hatred in her eyes was intense, gloomy and terrifying.
"Liu Mingyue, you lost your mother, and you want my mother to be buried with you, you vicious woman! Zhao Yinlian and the others are not good people either, all of you, don't even think about having an easy life! I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"
Zhou Qianqian took a look at the mourning hall set up by the Zhou family for Aunt Liu, and felt sad and even more jealous.
Why? Her mother was also a concubine, but she was buried with only one coffin, but Concubine Liu could still hold a funeral!
She hates it so much!
The unmarried girl's eyes were no longer as bright as before. They had turned red due to crying for so long and being filled with grief and anger.
Zhou Qianqian dropped her fist on the wooden pillar, snorted coldly, turned around and left, muttering to herself: "Just wait and see!"
Outside the Zhou Mansion's kitchen, the cook and the maid were busy preparing food for the masters' meal today.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, and the steam and smoke made the people in the kitchen seem even busier.
"Miss, please say whatever you want to say quickly. I still have work to do." The cook who was held by Zhou Qianqian wiped her hands anxiously.
"My mother treated you well when she was alive, but now that she is gone, no one is offering sacrifices to her. She loved taro rice the most, so please replace all the rice you have today with taro rice. I bought the taro myself at the market, and this is the only thing I can do for my aunt."
Zhou Qianqian handed the food box containing taro to the cook. It seemed that she was just asking the cook to make a pot of taro rice. No one in the mansion paid tribute to Aunt Zhao, so as a daughter, she did this to show her care.
"This is money for your hard work." Zhou Qianqian spoke politely to the cook and gave her a few hundred dollars so that she wouldn't work for nothing.
When the cook saw the money, she took it happily and said, "Don't worry, young lady, it's just a small matter. Aunt Zhao will be happy to know your filial piety."
If the cook knew that the taro in the food box had been soaked in poison, she would not dare to take it even if she was given silver.
Seeing the cook carrying the food box into the kitchen, Zhou Qianqian's expression gradually turned cold. The people in the Zhou Mansion were ruthless and ungrateful to her aunt, so she could only seek justice for her aunt herself!
If these poisons were put in dishes, some people might not eat them, but if they were put in rice, it would be different. The people at the table would definitely eat a few mouthfuls of rice.
Zhou Qianqian also knew that it was not easy for her to poison everyone, but if she could poison one person, she would do so. It would not be a loss for her!
These heartless people in the Zhou family deserve to die!
"Why do you only want my mother's life? All of you should have a taste of what it's like to lose your own flesh and blood!"
Zhou Qianqian regards everyone as an enemy. If possible, she would certainly want everyone to die!
But she didn't have much money, and the price of colorless and odorless poison was high, so she didn't buy much. Zhou Qianqian had never touched these, so she didn't know that if there was too little poison, it would be diluted in a large bucket of rice.
