Chapter 120 This is a declaration of war
"I got something good, and I wanted to share it with Aunt Yao." Lu Xiang said as he took the food basket from Ah Man's hand, put it on the table, and then carefully took out a blue and white soup bowl from it.
At this point, Aunt Yao no longer needed to pretend with Lu Xiang. She looked at Lu Xiang angrily: "Is it you? Is it you who killed Yuxiang and put her body on my bed?"
Mother Zhou's heart skipped a beat. She stood beside Aunt Yao with her eyes lowered, as silent as a cicada.
Lu Xiang kissed Aunt Yao and sneered, "Aunt Yao said I killed someone and slandered me like this. Do you think Grandmother and Father will believe it? They might think that you have a grudge against me, killed Yuxiang yourself and put the blame on me. After all, I have been wronged more than once or twice."
Aunt Yao choked and immediately thought of Lu Mingzhu and Lu Yue.
It would make people suspicious if it happened once or twice, but if dirty water is thrown on Lu Xiang again and again, no one will believe it anymore. Instead, they will sympathize with Lu Xiang, thinking that this child is really unlucky and anyone can step on him.
Lu Xiang's pretty face was fair and rosy, and her long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under her eyes.
That's right, she asked Ah Man to deliberately put Yuxiang's body in. Aunt Yao gave her such a big gift, how could she not return the favor.
"Lu Xiang, don't be so complacent." Aunt Yao gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"Why shouldn't I be proud? As a loser, Aunt Yao, you look so ugly." Lu Xiang said sarcastically, "These are just appetizers. Aunt Yao is ready to take revenge on me. After all, Lu Mingzhu, who offended me, is now living in the manor. Aunt Liu can't even protect herself, so how long can you hold on?"
Aunt Yao was so angry that her body was shaking: "Just wait, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Liu is stupid, but I am not stupid. If you want to take revenge on me, let's see if you have the ability to do it."
"Ha, it seems that the person behind Aunt Yao is quite powerful, which makes you so confident." Lu Xiang chuckled nonchalantly, then stood up: "Since Aunt Yao doesn't welcome me, then I will leave, but what I sent is a good thing, Aunt, remember to take a look."
Aunt Yao looked at Lu Xiang's receding back, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.
Lu Xiang is not very old, but he has such deep thoughts and meticulous ideas. He is simply a little monster.
"Bitch..." Aunt Yao cursed angrily, and swept the soup bowl left by Lu Xiang on the table to the ground with a wave of her hand.
The blue and white porcelain bowl broke into pieces. Several half-dead scorpions rolled on the ground for a few circles. Their slightly wriggling bodies made people's hair stand on end.
Aunt Yao was horrified and screamed: "Ahhhhh..."
After being shocked, Mother Zhou quickly suppressed her fear and disposed of the fragments and scorpion.
"Where is the master? I'm going to tell the master..." Aunt Yao's lips trembled as she was about to go to Lu Youping to complain.
Mother Zhou hurriedly held her back and said, "Auntie, don't be impulsive."
"She, Lu Xiang, has come to provoke me. Am I supposed to endure it?" She was blatantly declaring war.
"But we have no evidence. The master and the old lady won't believe it." The most important thing is that because of the Queen, the master is now particularly concerned about the third young lady. If the aunt goes to complain about the third young lady at this time, even if the master is willing to listen, the old lady will definitely not believe it, and she will end up losing more than she gains.
Otherwise, the third young lady wouldn't dare to come and provoke so brazenly.
Aunt Yao was extremely angry, but she could do nothing about Lu Xiang for the time being.
At the same time, people in Heyuan were also in panic because Aunt Liu's personal maid Luochun had died.
The cause of death was poisoning from a scorpion sting.
The kitchen delivered Liu's breakfast to the lotus garden. Luo Chun opened the lid of the casserole containing porridge and was about to scoop the porridge into a bowl for Liu to let it cool before letting her drink it. However, he did not expect that what was found inside when he opened the lid was not porridge, but a group of crawling scorpions.
Luo Chun was so frightened that he was stunned. At that moment, a scorpion crawled out of the casserole and stung Luo Chun's hand. When Luo Chun came to his senses and shook off the scorpion, one of his palms had quickly turned black and purple.
Liu was so frightened that she turned around and ran away, not caring about Luochun at all.
When the other maids in Heyuan entered the room, they saw that the scorpions were crawling on Luochun's body, and Luochun fell down and died of poisoning.
First, Yuxiang died in Aunt Yao's bed, and then Luochun died from scorpion poisoning. For a time, the entire Lu Mansion was in a panic, not knowing who would be the next victim.
Lu Youping went to find the old lady in a restless mood. Qiao Jingru and Lu Xiang, who were now in charge of the Lu Mansion, were also called to Fuyuan Hall.
"Was there anything unusual before Yuxiang died?" the old lady asked Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang raised his frightened face and shook his head blankly: "Yuxiang has a gentle personality and doesn't talk much on weekdays. I also asked Yunzhe and the others and they didn't notice anything unusual. But when Yuxiang's body appeared on Aunt Yao's bed this morning, Mujin told me that she went out last night and didn't say where she went."
"Poor girl, you must be scared." Lu Youping looked at Lu Xiang distressedly, with a look on his face that said, "My daughter is so pitiful. Come to think of it, your sudden fainting last night due to evil wind entering your body, is it related to her? When I went to see the doctor, Yuxiang even offered me tea, and then she disappeared?"
"What?" The old lady was startled and looked at Lu Xiang nervously: "You fainted yesterday, why didn't anyone tell me?"
Qiao Jingru also looked at her worriedly: "How could this happen?"
"Grandma, sister-in-law, I'm fine. I've already seen a doctor. Dad was there too. The doctor said I was tired."
Lu Youping snorted lightly: "Humph, I think it's probably Yuxiang's doing, otherwise why would she die at this time?"
"What do you think?" Seeing that Lu Xiang looked better, the old lady felt relieved. She looked at Lu Youping and said, "Even if it was Yuxiang who did it, why did she die in Aunt Yao's bed? Have you seen how she died?"
Lu Youping nodded stiffly: "I took a look at the death...it's better for my mother not to know." After taking one look, he couldn't eat for three days.
Upon hearing this, the old lady stopped asking questions and asked, "What about Concubine Liu? Why is there a scorpion in the mansion?"
Qiao Jingru knelt down and said, "Grandma, it's my fault for not managing this family well."
The old lady hurriedly asked her to stand up: "How can it be your fault? Some people have vicious minds and are hard to guard against. No matter how you look at it, it seems that something dirty happened between Aunt Liu and Aunt Yao."
Lu Youping stared in shock and said in disbelief: "Then Yuxiang..."
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Liu blamed Xiangxiang for Mingzhu's punishment. It's possible that she hates her to the core and bribed Yuxiang to harm Xiangxiang. It's not surprising at all. Maybe Yao found out and used it to threaten her. The two of them couldn't reach a consensus and schemed against each other, which led to this result."
