Chapter 440 Poison Killing (1)
Seeing Lu Mingxuan's return, Mrs. Lu was very happy, talked to her for a long time, and left her to have lunch at Rongtaiju before letting her go back to Kongcui Pavilion first.

The layout of the Kongcui Pavilion has not changed, but without Lu Mingfu and her servants in the room, it suddenly became much deserted.

Lu Mingxuan didn't have time to be sad about it for the time being, she had been back for a few months, and now that she came back, she always had to go everywhere to say hello and say hello.

First Mrs. Lu and Grandma Lu, and then Duan's. After going to Duan's house, Lu Mingxuan knew that she was pregnant for more than a month, so she had to say "Congratulations", and then make someone make up for it afterwards. A congratulatory gift to express my heart.

The last place is Second Grandma Lu. Second Grandma Lu gave birth to Lu Wenyuan's eldest son not long ago. Although this eldest son is far less noble than Lu Xixian, the real eldest son and grandson of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, he is also the treasure in the hearts of Second Grandma Lu and Lu Wenyuan. Now, Second Grandma Lu has a child and everything is fulfilled, and she is always smiling when she meets everyone. Lu Mingxuan was infected, and her mood improved a lot. She kept talking with Second Grandma Lu until her face became tired, and then she left a congratulatory gift. I bid farewell.

Since then, Lu Mingxuan has lived a life of reading and sewing in her own room, talking with Mrs. Lu in Rongtaiju, copying Buddhist scriptures for her, or picking Buddha beans with her. It's nothing, but there is an unprecedented peacefulness.

It's a pity that such days didn't last too long. In February, Lu Zhongmian approved Lu Wenting's invitation to become the crown prince. Such a great event naturally had to invite relatives and friends to celebrate; in March, it was Mrs. Lu's sixty Big birthday, how many [-]th birthdays can a person have in a lifetime?

The Duke's Mansion has double happiness, both the old Duke and Lu Zhongmian have said that they want to take this opportunity to celebrate for a few days, so starting from mid-February, the entire Dingguo Mansion has been busy in every possible way.

Due to lack of manpower, Lu Mingxuan was temporarily sent by Mrs. Lu to take care of some trivial matters with Mrs. Lu. She would fall asleep every day when she was so tired, so she couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that sometimes being monotonous is also a kind of Blessing, I was really in the midst of blessings and didn't know how to be blessed before!
The entire family was busy until the middle of March, and it was only seven or eight days before Mrs. Lu's big birthday, because the things that should be ordered have already been ordered, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu have not stopped until now At that time, Lu Mingxuan was finally free and could breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Today, Lu Mingxuan was in Mrs. Lu's room watching the old man try on the six sets of new clothes specially made for the birthday banquet. Since they were made for the birthday banquet, they were all in very bright colors. Mrs. Lu said with a smile: " Tomorrow, if I really put on these clothes and appear in front of the guests, I am afraid that within a few days, it will spread throughout the capital that the old lady is an old goblin!"

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly smiled and said: "You are not old, especially when you wear these clothes, when you appear in front of people with me, those who know say that you and I are grandparents, but those who don't know that they think they are mother and daughter What about two!"

Nanny Zhang echoed with a smile on the side: "Miss Xuan said that you are more than ten years younger in these clothes. How many people have seen such a young and beautiful old goblin?"

Mrs. Lu was so angry and funny at the same time: "You two can put a high hat on me, just talk about it in this room, if others listen to it, I'm afraid Big Tooth will laugh Lost……"

Before I finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside, apart from the scolding of Shuangshou Shuangrui, there was also a strange cry: "Please, sisters, let me see the old lady, before it's too late." One step, our aunt was really beaten to death by the eldest lady..."

Mrs. Lu frowned, and glanced at Nanny Zhang, who immediately put down the clothes in her hands and walked out, yelling loudly: "Who is making noise outside? How decent is it? You're shocked!" Old madam, how many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

The uproar stopped abruptly, but soon there was a faint cry, but the sound was too low for Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxuan to hear it. However, Mrs. Lu's interest was completely destroyed by this, and she ordered to stand aside. Shuangxi and Shuangfu who stood by stood by: "Put all these clothes away, and try again tomorrow when you feel interested."

Shuangxi and Shuangfu hurriedly bowed their knees to answer, and stepped forward to fold their clothes nimbly.

Lu Mingxuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Madam Lu: "Old Madam, drink a cup of tea first, and when Nanny Zhang comes back, you will naturally know what's going on."

"En." Mrs. Lu nodded, took the tea and was about to deliver it to her mouth when Madam Zhang hurried in, before she had time to salute, she said first: "Just now Aunt Li provoked the eldest lady for some reason, He was ordered to be beaten to death by the eldest lady. When Aunt Li's maid heard about it, she thought that no matter how bad Aunt Li was, she would give birth to the second aunt, and in a few days it would be the day when the old lady and the uncle were happy. Congratulations, it’s too late for the house to go out to sell Mishe porridge, if there is blood in the house, wouldn’t it be very unlucky? That’s why I have the courage to come here and beg the old lady to save Aunt Li’s life, and beg the old lady to be merciful.”

Every time Nanny Zhang said something, Mrs. Lu's expression turned ugly. When Nanny Zhang finished speaking, her face was ashen. She stood up abruptly and said angrily: "Even a little girl knows the truth. As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, how can she not know? It can be seen that she has become a bad luck for my wife. I want to see what mistakes Li Shi has made to make her happy in such a happy place. Crying and shouting and killing every day!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't want anyone to help him, so he walked outside.

Mrs. Lu is an elderly person who firmly believes in the blessings of gods and ghosts, and is even more taboo to listen to people talking about life and death on happy days. Who knows that today Mrs. Lu has made it clear that she wants to splash blood on the Duke. In the mansion, the one who was going to be killed was her son, Xiao Xing, who gave birth to an heir for the Duke's mansion. As the saying goes, "Beat the dog to see the owner", how could her old man not be angry?

When Nanny Zhang and Lu Mingxuan saw this, they were stunned for a moment, but when they came back to their senses, they immediately stepped forward to support Mrs. Lu from left to right, and walked outside while persuading her to calm down.

I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid kneeling outside, her face covered with tears, and she was shivering in the spring breeze that blew from time to time. She didn't know whether it was cold or frightened. When she saw Mrs. Lu coming out, she immediately knelt and crawled. Stepping forward a few steps, he kowtowed and begged, "May the old lady be merciful, save our aunt's life, beg the old lady to be merciful..."

Mrs. Lu just frowned and said nothing when she heard the words, but Nanny Zhang scolded: "You idiot, since the old lady has come out, naturally she has to take care of this matter, you should lead the way!"

The servant girl just woke up like a dream, hurriedly got up from the ground, wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, and led Mrs. Lu and her party to Mrs. Lu's upper room.
