Chapter 120 I will take your words to heart
"Speaking of which, Magpie..."
Zhou Fang interrupted her loudly: "Why are you mentioning her for no reason? I was too concerned yesterday and said something that didn't fit my plan."
"Since your second uncle has spoken, I will give you three hundred taels as an apology."
Yuan Wanru smiled with satisfaction: "Second Aunt should remember the lesson. Next time, don't rush to deal with your own family, otherwise I will double the money."
Zhou Fang was secretly angry. Everyone said that Rongshu was lying, but she still felt that Yuan Wanru was her unlucky and had repeatedly caused her to lose money. If that wasn't a bad omen for her, then what else could it be?
In the afternoon, Mrs. Lu woke up as expected. She was surprised to hear that she had been in a coma for many days.
Lu Jiangnian only said that she was poisoned, and the poison was strange, so none of the doctors in the capital noticed it.
Madam Lu was so frightened that she almost fainted again. Who on earth poisoned her?
According to Yuan Wanru's analysis, Madam Lu was poisoned two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lu Jiangnian told Madam Lu, "Grandma, the genius doctor mentioned that the poison was probably administered around August 13th. Please investigate carefully to see who is the most suspicious."
In her entire life, these few years are her best days.
She was pampered by her son, didn't have to endure the anger of Old Master Lu, and had fun eating, drinking and having fun every day without having to worry about anything. She couldn't bear to die.
Lu Song's face was solemn: "Madam, my mother is awake. I will go to the North Camp tonight. I will have to trouble you to take care of the family affairs."
"Check Rongshou Hall inside and out. Make sure to find the evil thief. No one can be left to serve mother."
Wang Min really didn't want to get involved, but she couldn't refuse this matter: "Don't worry, Lord."
Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Yes, with Dad's instructions, mother just needs to go ahead and investigate. Anyone who seems a little bit strange in Rongshou Hall should be kicked out. It is better to let them go than to let them go. Only in this way can the old lady be safe."
"Old Madam, please don't be soft-hearted. Even if Nanny Cao, Qingju and others are suspicious, I can't let them go. After all, Dad and Mom are also thinking about your safety."
Lu Song was stunned. He... didn't seem to mean that?
It seems that the daughter-in-law is not wrong?
When Mrs. Lu heard what she said, she was unhappy.
What do you mean by "better to be wronged than to let her go"? Don't drive away all the people she is close to and replace them with people from the Wang family.
"The Wang family is not idle either. I know whether the people around me are human or ghost."
"Now that I'm awake, let me do the thorough investigation. No need for anyone else to do it for me."
Lu Jiangnian saw the cunning in Yuan Wanru's eyes and realized that his grandmother had been tricked by his wife again.
The matter of the nightmare poison is complicated and confusing.
Although based on various signs from his wife, Lu Jiangnian has already cast his suspicion on Liang Yusong, the evidence is not easy to find.
If my mother accepted this task, not only would it be a thankless task, but she would also not be able to find the real murderer, and then my grandmother would definitely think that my mother was incompetent.
Better to let her do it herself.
-
Things in the mansion have come to an end. Yuan Wanru is anxious to see Rong Shu's body and urges Lu Jiangnian to take her out.
Xuanying came back hurriedly from outside and looked at Lu Jiangnian, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Yuan Wanru was tactful and was about to take Liu Yan for a walk in the courtyard to give the master and servant space to talk about secrets.
Lu Jiangnian held her hand and said, "No need to avoid it. From now on, you don't have to hide anything from Madam."
Xuanying paused for a moment before realizing something Xuanqing had said a while ago: "From now on, in Lingshui Residence, the one who makes the decision may not be the prince."
He recounted what he had found out.
"I have already found out about the rumors that the Crown Prince's wife brought bad luck to the old lady. These rumors came from the Jiang family."
Yuan Wanru frowned: "Is it really the Jiang family?"
Xuanying nodded affirmatively: "The concubine of the eldest son of the Jiang family is the youngest daughter of the shopkeeper of Hongxiufang. She is quite favored and has given birth to two illegitimate sons."
"Because the prince has been suppressing Jingzhao Yin, Jingzhao Yin dare not show favoritism. The shopkeeper has sentenced him to death in the autumn. In order to vent his anger on his concubine, Master Jiang has been keeping an eye on our house."
"After word got out that the old lady had fallen into a coma during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he hired someone to spread the rumor."
Come to think of it, today is the autumnal equinox, so the shopkeeper can be executed in a few days.
But she felt a little depressed.
I thought I could catch the second prince this time, but I didn't expect it would be the Jiang family.
"Back off."
Seeing that Yuan Wanru seemed to be in a daze, Lu Jiangnian reached out and touched the corner of her eyes: "Why do you suspect the second prince?"
She racked her brains but couldn't think of a better excuse, so she could only smile helplessly: "Maybe, it's intuition."
He raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, you don't seem to have met the Second Prince."
“No.”
She responded softly, then folded her hands, rested her chin on the back of her hands, and looked sideways at him: "Will you be angry because I doubt him?"
There was no guilt or anxiety in her eyes, but there was a hint of frustration.
Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but lean over and kiss her fair face, and chuckled: "My lady, you worry too much. How could I be angry with you because of the Second Prince?"
Yuan Wanru covered her face with her hands, her cheeks flushed, her eyes full, and her red lips curled up in dissatisfaction: "It's not time yet, you can't kiss me."
Really, cute.
Lu Jiangnian moved his lips twice, wanting to kiss her again, but the time was not right and he could not be greedy.
"Okay, no kiss, I'll kiss you in my heart."
He couldn't help but laughed out loud, and the blush on Yuan Wanru's face spread to her slender neck, turning it into a red cloud.
This man is so mean. He said he wouldn't kiss me, but the look in his eyes was so explicit that it was as if he had kissed me hard.
She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
A large hand landed in her hair, gently stroking the top of her head: "I have someone keeping an eye on him. I will not convict him without evidence."
"But I will keep your words in my heart."
Yuan Wanru didn't expect that he would actually send someone to investigate the second prince.
Unable to suppress her excitement, she sat up straight and said to him excitedly, "Really?"
"I won't lie to you."
The person who was listless just now has now forgotten all his worries.
Seeing her high spirits, Lu Jiangnian smiled and said, "You wouldn't mention him for no reason. There is no real conflict between you and him. You must have your reasons for suspecting him."
"Did you start to doubt him after the incident in the East Palace?"
He's really sharp.
I guess he didn't believe her at all when she said that the Second Prince would target her because of Liang Yusong.
"What makes you guess that?"
Lu Jiangnian's eyes and eyebrows were full of doting, and he said what he had in mind: "The Eastern Palace is not anywhere else. The prince had already screened everyone, but you almost got into trouble."
"Afterwards, we investigated for a long time but still couldn't find the person behind it."
"The Crown Prince and I both think that Madam Zhaohua and Concubine Zhao are the most suspicious, and we are quite wary of this."
"But your suspicion provides another clue. Concubine Liang may not be free of suspicion."
Yuan Wanru nodded repeatedly: "Yes, her son is also a prince."
Lu Jiangnian's face became extremely serious: "Don't let anyone say a word of this."
