Mother Wang turned and left, but after taking a few steps, she was stopped by Mother Shen: "Wait a moment."

"Madam, do you have any other instructions?" asked Mother Wang.

"Let's go in the evening." said Shen's mother.

Just in case, if a quarrel breaks out now and Lin Zhou finds out, it would be difficult to deal with if he feels sorry for it.

Wait until late at night when everyone is asleep, and then quietly get rid of the person.

Mrs. Wang: “Yes, ma’am.”

Mother Shen thought it was safe, but she didn't expect that her delay would give Lu Wanning the opportunity to take action.

As night fell, the main courtyard was silent. In the dark night, Lu Wanning's figure sneaked into the main courtyard silently.

In the yard, maids and old women were lying on the ground in all directions.

"Aunt Lu, these people have all fainted." A maid walked up to Lu Wanning, holding up her skirt, and reported.

Lu Wanning took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to the maid: "This is yours. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

This was the second-class maidservant beside Shen's mother whom she had bribed after she came to the Shen family.

Ever since Shen Linzhou's accident, Lu Wanning began to plan for her own way out. Even without Gu Jinse's calculations, she would never stay in the Shen family. The news that Jiang came in the morning was also passed on to her by this girl, and Lu Wanning knew that she could not wait any longer.

So she gave the sleeping pills she had prepared long ago to her maid and asked her to put them in the food.

She didn't have the ability to enter the Shen family's big warehouse, but there were quite a few things in Shen's mother's room, enough for her to live a worry-free life for the rest of her life.

The maid opened her purse, glanced at the thick banknotes inside, put them close to her body, and then looked at Lu Wanning and said, "I will not leave. Madam Lu, please take care of yourself."

She was different from Lu Wan Ning. She was a servant of the Shen family. Her indenture was still in the hands of the lady. Even if she followed Lu Wan Ning today, she would not be free. If she was caught, she would be in trouble. So she did not gamble on her temporary freedom. After Lu Wan Ning left, she pretended to be unconscious.

When the lady woke up, she found that Lu Wanning had already left the capital. As long as she kept the secret, the lady would not find out.

These banknotes were enough to cure her brother's illness and ensure that her mother and her younger siblings had enough food and clothing.

The wages of avarice is death.

Lu Wan Ning just asked casually. It would be better if she didn't leave. The money and jewelry she took away all belonged to her alone, so there was no need to think about sharing them in half.

And if she stays in the Shen Mansion, she will be able to keep this secret better.

After all, if the truth were revealed, she would be the first to die.

Led by the maid, Lu Wanning went straight to Shen's mother's small storeroom.

As the mistress of the house, Mother Shen has saved up a lot of private money over the years, including a dowry for Shen Wanqing.

Lu Wanning's breathing became heavy involuntarily. With these gold, silver and jewels, why would she have to worry about wealth and glory for the rest of her life?

……

The night in the capital is cold. The cold wind howls, causing the branches to sway. The moonlight is like water, casting mottled light and shadows.

Lu Wanning quietly left the Shen Mansion through the back door. Her hurried and slightly panicked footsteps could be heard in the empty alley.

It was the dead of night, the city gates were closed, and she couldn't get out.

The bag she was carrying was filled with gold and silver jewelry. Lu Wanning did not dare to linger on the street, so she returned to the house where she had lived before.

Tomorrow morning, when Shen's mother wakes up, she will definitely send someone to look for her, and maybe even report to the police, so she must leave the city immediately when the city gate opens at dawn.

As long as she leaves the capital, even if the Shen family reports her to the police, they won’t be able to arrest her.
