Chapter 79 How could this happen?

"Yan Dun'er, what's wrong with you today? You're out of your mind!" Nanny Cui, the kitchen manager, came over, frowning and scolding, "Didn't I tell you this this morning? Miss Xiao doesn't eat onions! Are you deaf? Why did you cut so many?!"

Yan Dun'er quickly picked out the chopped green onions from the plate and stammered, "Sorry, Ma'am. I'll pick them out right away."

"Hurry up! The food is waiting to be served!" Aunt Cui spat angrily, "Idiot! Get out if you can't do it!"

Yan Dun'er lowered his head with a gloomy look.

This was the third time she had been scolded in two days.

These days, her heart was in turmoil and she was distracted.

She had clearly seen that the food box she had brought back from Wutong Courtyard was empty. She had also heard that the eldest daughter was too ill to get out of bed.

But how come after just a few days, the eldest lady not only showed up in good health, but also held a banquet at home?

Did I make a mistake in the ratio?

But I've confirmed this repeatedly with Madam Ping, and I've also caught some birds to test it myself, so it shouldn't be wrong...

how could be?

There were people coming and going in the kitchen, guests coming to the house, and even the servants had smiles on their faces, but to Yan Dun'er, everything around her seemed to be in two different worlds from her.

Her palms were sweaty and her back was cold.

She originally had the guts to harm others, but who told the eldest lady to sell Manager Liu's family to Jiangnan?

It's such a faraway place, and there's still flooding. How can they have a good life if they are sold there at a low price?

Liu Lu...that fair-skinned, elegant man, how could he endure the suffering there?

They just embezzled the money from the mansion, so they can just pay it back. Why would the eldest lady do such a cruel thing?

Thinking of Liu Lu, the man who would smile at her every time he saw her in the kitchen, his watery eyes were enough to make her give her heart away.

So, when she was shopping outside and met Nanny Ping who asked her if she wanted to avenge Liu Lu, she agreed without hesitation.

She was taken to the ancestral temple and met the lady.

The lady was so kind that she hugged her and cried for a long time.

The lady also felt sorry for Liu Lu. She thought that if the lady could return to the Xu Mansion, Butler Liu and his family would be saved.

The lady also said that once Liu Lu was redeemed, she would let him marry her.

So, with a blushing face, she took the saccharin handed to her by the lady.

She knew that the eldest daughter loved egg custard, so when she cut the vegetables every day, she would prepare different flavors of jade egg custard.

But, why hasn’t the poison taken effect on the young lady yet?

Nanny Ping had urged her two days ago. The lady in the family temple was waiting for her to report the news, and Liu Lu in Jiangnan was waiting for her to rescue her.

She washed the side dishes after picking the green onions and was about to take them into the kitchen when she heard a "bang".

A young servant with an unfamiliar face rushed in: "Oh no! Someone in the hall is vomiting blood..."

The servants swarmed into the main hall and crowded at the door.

The things inside were scattered all over the place and in a mess.

The ground was also bright red.

There was no one from the Xu family in the main hall, only the Xiao family of three.

Mrs. Xiao was holding her daughter to comfort her, while Lord Xiao ordered the servant to prepare the carriage and take his family back home first.

"Oh my god, could that blood be from the young lady?" a servant whispered. "Who knows? Hasn't the young lady been acting strangely for a few days?"

"Yesterday the eldest lady said she wanted to have a banquet. She didn't look sick."

"You said... could it be a last gasp?"

Everyone was discussing the matter when Wen Yao, who was beside the eldest lady, came out from the side room behind the hall crying and went to ask for a doctor with a sad face.

Yan Dun'er bit her lip and quietly squeezed out of the crowd.

Slipped out through the corner door in the backyard.

……

More than two hours later, when the entire Xu Mansion was in chaos, Xu Liu returned with a proud look on her face.

The gate of Xu's mansion was wide open, but there was no one at the door.

The Xiao family's carriage was no longer there.

Xu Liu straightened her clothes, which were a little messy due to her haste, then held her head high and walked in with Ping Ma's hand. "What's going on? There's no one to watch over the door now that this family is in charge?" Xu Liu walked into the front hall.

Wen Yao was sitting at the door wiping her tears, and someone beside her kept comforting her.

When she saw Xu Liushi, she stood up in surprise and asked, "Why is Madam back?"

"Yes! I heard that he is dying. I am afraid that I will be too late to see him for the last time."

As she said that, Xu Liu was about to rush in.

Wen Yao stopped her and said, "The palace doctor is currently treating the patient. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Madam to go in now."

Xu Liu gave a wink, and Nanny Ping understood and kicked everyone else out of the yard.

Qi Ai's sobbing could be heard faintly in the ear room. Xu Liu smiled and said, "What's wrong? He's vomiting so much blood. Even if a miracle doctor comes, he won't be able to save him."

"Didn't Madam just enter the mansion? How...how do you know so much?" Wen Yao asked.

Xu Liu smiled smugly: "What do you think? Doesn't it feel good to see that? Don't worry...you bitches will all end up like this in the future!"

Wen Yao was horrified. "The palace doctor said someone poisoned her. Could it be Madam?"

Xu Liu glanced at her and said, "Serves her right. She's greedy! Don't think I can't control her just because I'm not the head of the household."

Wen Yao cried, "But... after all these years of love, how could Madam be so cruel?"

Xu Liu sneered, "Affection? What affection could there be between her and me? It's just an act. I've long wished she were dead, and allowing her to survive until today is already enough affection for me!"

"But isn't Madam afraid that this will get out?"

Xu Liu smiled complacently: "So what? Do you think anyone in the mansion will care about her life or death? Besides, once she dies, I can come back and continue to be the mistress of the house. Who can do anything to me!" "Bitch!" A roar came from the ear room.

The door opened, and Xu Chaoqian was carried out sitting on a chair with gauze wrapped around his head and a fierce look in his eyes.

Xu Rongrong stayed beside him, crying with a sad face.

Madam Xiao kept trying to comfort her, but Lord Xiao sneered, "I never thought that there would be such a vicious woman under the emperor's feet!"

Xu Chaoqian's face looked pale due to excessive blood loss. He picked up the incense burner placed next to the door and threw it at Mrs. Xu Liu: "Bitch, how dare you harm me! You have such a poisonous heart!"

Blood immediately gushed out of Xu Liu's forehead.

She looked at the intact Xu Rongrong in horror and couldn't recover for a long time: How could this happen!

The blood on her forehead made her whole face look hideous and terrifying.

Xu Chaoqian took a deep breath: "I thought you could cultivate your mind and cultivate your character by going to the ancestral temple, but I didn't expect that you would actually plot to kill me! More than ten years of love between husband and wife, in your eyes it was all a show, hello... hello..." At this moment, what else did Xu Liushi not understand?

From the moment she came in until now, she had always believed that the person who was about to die was Xu Rongrong, so every word she spoke was directed at Xu Rongrong...

But to Xu Chaoqian, every word sounded like a curse on him!

She was severely tricked by Xu Rongrong!
