Today, Su Wanti wore a long green dress, with tourmaline beads adorning her hair, a pearl hairpin in her hair, and a pearl hairpin. She had a jade-like face and red lips, and looked fresh and beautiful, like the breeze in the bamboo forest and the bright moon on the sea.
She wore a necklace made of jewel beads around her neck, with a small, shiny golden lock in the middle. The lock was decorated with patterns of unicorns and auspicious clouds, which was extremely exquisite and luxurious.
The woman held a wine glass in her hand, and the red silk thread and red gold pendant chain on her right wrist was revealed.
There were five golden pendants hanging on the bracelet, which swayed gently on the woman's fair wrist, shining brightly.
After the gold lock was stolen by the nanny beside Old Madam An, it was supposed to be given to Lu Tian, but the nanny got addicted to gambling and took the gold lock and part of the reward given to her by Lu Tian to the gambling house. She ended up losing everything and no one knew who got the gold lock.
It was Shang Xingjian who sent people to retrieve the gold lock, and he also arranged for craftsmen to maintain the gold pendant and restore its golden luster.
These two items were ornaments worn by the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery thirty years ago. Lu Tian would definitely remember them.
Su Wanti wore these two pieces of gold jewelry today specifically to attract his attention.
With a smile on her lips, she stepped forward to wish today's birthday girl, Mrs. Lu, a happy birthday.
Mrs. Lu is 88 years old. She comes from a farming family and has been working since she can remember.
When she reached middle age, and her eldest son Lu Nong made a name for himself in the army, she completely gave up farm work and moved to the capital.
The first forty years of her life were spent in heavy labor. Her body was severely weakened and she was carefully nurtured with countless precious medicinal herbs. She finally made it to her eighties, but she was already dizzy, with cloudy eyes and blurred vision.
Min introduced her, "Mother, this is the Princess of Huide County."
At this moment, facing Su Wanti, Min's eyes flickered and her expression was very unnatural.
Su Wanti's hand seemed to accidentally brush the necklace around her neck, and her fingertips gently touched the small gold lock on her chest.
The five gold pendants on her wrists swayed gently with her movements.
Today, she was dressed in a simple and elegant outfit, and the clear gold lock and gold pendant were particularly eye-catching and hard to ignore.
Min glanced over secretly, and as if stung by the golden light, her eyes quickly shifted away.
The young woman in front of her was standing close, so Mrs. Lu could see her features clearly. This sight made her heart tremble with fear, and her fingers trembled.
This Huide County Lady looks very similar to her eldest daughter-in-law, An, who has not returned to Beijing for a long time.
The golden light was dazzling, and Mrs. Lu's attention was attracted by the gold ornaments worn by the woman.
After seeing the appearance of the gold object clearly, her expression suddenly changed.
His face showed surprise, confusion, disappointment, and regret...
At this time, Lu Tian and his son, who were taking care of guests elsewhere, came over. They were both very nervous and could only pretend to be calm.
Lu Tian and his son and Min looked at each other, and the three of them exchanged glances.
Min understood and turned her hand back to gesture to the maid standing behind her.
The maid's eyes flickered slightly, she picked up the tray tremblingly, and walked forward with her head lowered.
When he walked to Su Wanti, his feet suddenly lost their balance and the tray slipped. The tea and fruit on the tray fell to the ground, and the splashing tea soaked the thick carpet.
The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. In the chaos, her shoulder knocked the wine glass out of Su Wanti's hand, and the amber wine suddenly spilled onto the ground and soaked into the carpet.
The Lu Tian family hurriedly apologized and ordered people to drag the maid away and beat her with a stick in harsh words.
"It's okay." Su Wanti looked at the family's lively performance and smiled faintly.
Min breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and poured a glass of wine. Under the cover of her wide sleeves, she moved her fingertips lightly, and a white pill fell into the wine glass and quickly melted.
Min gently swirled the glass, and when the amber-colored liquid was no longer abnormal, she turned around and said with a respectful smile, "My maidservant is clumsy and knocked over the county lady's glass. If you don't mind, please use this glass of wine."
Su Wanti took the wine glass and her keen nose detected the scent of strong aphrodisiac in the wine.
She smiled, looking gentle and soft. "Okay, I was just about to toast the old lady. Madam Lu sent this wine just in time."
After that, she faced Madam Lu, raised her wine glass, and said, "I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Then, she turned slightly sideways, raised the wine glass to her lips, covered it with her sleeve, drank the wine, and took the detoxification pill at the same time.
Immediately, a maid came forward holding an empty tray. Su Wanti lowered her eyes slightly and placed the empty wine glass on the tray.
When the Lu Tian family saw that there was not a drop of wine left in the wine glass, their plan succeeded. The three of them exchanged glances with smiles on their faces.
Two days ago, Lu Tian received an order from Concubine Li in the palace, asking him to take advantage of today's birthday banquet to get rid of Su Wanti, otherwise her act of deliberately losing the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would be exposed.
Lu Tian was so worried that half of his hair turned white. Getting rid of a county lady at a birthday banquet held in his own mansion?
Concubine Li is not planning to kill the county lady, she is planning to kill their entire family, right?
Lu Tian had no choice but to do it. He could not give up the wealth and glory he had already obtained and the title of marquis that was about to be obtained.
After much thought, he came up with a vicious plan. He would find an opportunity to give the county lady a strong aphrodisiac at the birthday banquet, then lead her to the side room in the backyard and send several strong men who did the rough and dirty work into the room.
After that, he didn't need to do anything.
The county lady got drunk and had sex with many people. Whether she was caught by someone or no one found out, the county lady would have no face to live anymore.
Before the banquet, he was caught by someone and forced to take action against the mayor of Huide County, and he felt a little hesitant and uneasy.
After meeting the Lady of Huide County, his heart to harm others became as hard as iron.
