Chapter 221 Strange Things Happen at the Wu Family
Du Wanchun replied, "I am Du Wanchun."
The woman was overjoyed and quickly handed the letter to her, saying, "Please accept this, young lady."
Du Wanchun took the letter, and after leaving with the woman, she slowly opened it. It turned out to be a letter from Aunt Zhou.
The letter said that she remembered that more than 20 years ago, Consort Liu in the palace gave her a jewelry box, which she buried in the Lu residence.
If she and Zhou Ruiyuan had the time, they could go to the Lu residence and dig out that jewelry box; there might be some treasures inside.
Du Wanchun read the letter several times before handing it to Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan held it in his hand and looked up in the direction of the Lu family. "Now the Lu family has taken over the Lu residence. It won't be so easy to get in."
Du Wanchun raised her eyes and followed his gaze, then smiled and said, "No rush, let's wait until Zhou Feng finishes his wedding."
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly, "Alright."
The Wu family in the capital was in decline day by day because Consort Wu had been banished to the Cold Palace.
The eldest son of the Wu family went to the border region, and the eldest daughter of the Wu family made a fuss every day in the mansion about getting married.
It can be said that there was no peace in the family.
Later, after listening to an old man's advice, Mr. Wu placed talismans and Buddha statues in the house, and his condition improved significantly in the past few days.
Madam Wu became smug again, because her youngest daughter happened to be the one who had mocked Du Wanchun at Zhou's incense shop last time.
After being soaked by the heavy rain, Miss Wu cried incessantly in the house, saying that she must marry the spice merchant.
Madam Wu was furious and pointed at her, scolding, "You brat! How could we, the dignified Wu family, possibly marry a merchant?"
The sixth young lady of the Wu family was very clever and quickly said, "Father and Mother, you are confused. How could he be an ordinary merchant? His younger brother is the emperor's adopted son and a marquis personally appointed by the emperor. Our Wu family has no one to back us up anymore, so we might as well find another way."
Madam Wu sighed and said, "You're right. Sooner or later, the emperor will use our Wu family as scapegoats for the sake of the Lu family. It's better to find a backer first, so that we can save our lives in the future."
Miss Wu nodded emphatically and said, "That's right."
However, Madam Wu soon added with a sigh, "But the merchant you mentioned seems to already have a wife. You can't very well become his concubine, can you?"
The sixth young lady of the Wu family lowered her voice and said, "Mother, why do we have to be a concubine? Why not just find a way to make him lose his wife?"
"Widowed?" Madam Wu was shocked.
The sixth young lady of the Wu family slowly stood up and said, "Mother, to achieve our goal, we must be ruthless."
Mrs. Wu originally wanted to offer some advice, but then she felt that her daughter made a good point.
The sixth young lady of the Wu family immediately whispered something in her ear.
Madam Wu's expression changed several times before she finally smiled.
at night.
The Wu family home was much more gloomy than usual.
Miss Wu, who had originally planned to murder Du Wanchun, suddenly got out of bed, took the poison she was going to give Du Wanchun, and walked towards the backyard.
With her eyes closed, she poured the poison into a bowl of almond milk, then carried the bowl of almond milk to Madam Wu's room.
Hearing someone enter, Madam Wu quickly dressed and came to the door, asking, "Who is it?"
Miss Wu kept her eyes closed and didn't speak.
Mrs. Wu sensed something was wrong, opened the door, and saw her daughter. She quickly asked, "What are you doing here so late?"
Miss Wu kept her eyes closed, then handed the poisoned almond milk to Madam Wu.
Mrs. Wu took the almond milk and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
However, Miss Wu still did not reply to her.
Madam Wu placed the almond milk aside and said coldly, "Daughter, wake up."
Hearing the call, Miss Wu Liu suddenly opened her eyes and was shocked to see Madam Wu in front of her. "Mother, what are you doing here?"
