Just A Scapegoat
Jiang Yimian glanced at the Porcelain Bottle, finding it amusing that this person was so blatantly asking her to poison Lu Cijian. She didn’t know whether to say the other party was too confident or looked down too much on her and Lu Cijian.
Since she believed that Lu Cijian was her Man, she naturally wouldn’t allow him to be humiliated by this person.
However, playing with the other party would be quite nice.
Thinking this, a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes. After a good while, she carefully said, “You, are you telling the truth? Can you really make Bao Xiang Shop the only one in the Capital?”
Disdain flashed in Chen Shuyu’s eyes. As expected of a Merchant’s Daughter, her horizons were narrow. After only a few words of provocation, this person believed it.
It seemed that her Plan would probably be completed soon.
She only said with a smile, “Of course it’s true. If you complete what I want to do, I will naturally fulfill my Promise.”
A bit of Expectation surged in Jiang Yimian’s eyes. After hesitating for a good while, she pointed to the Porcelain Bottle on the table and said, feigning Nervousness, “This, what is this?”
Chen Shuyu only curled the corners of her mouth, leaning lazily on the Soft Couch. The fish had already taken the bait.
She really looked forward to seeing Lu Cijian being poisoned to death by his beloved, that would definitely be a good show.
“You don’t need to care what this is. You just need to get Lu Cijian to drink it, and everything I promised you will be done.”
She would naturally do it all, after all, Bao Xiang Shop should already be hers by then. Since this person had poisoned Lu Cijian, how could she be kept around.
Just a scapegoat.
She was the Innocent Madam Lu, how could she possibly kill the Lu Family’s Eldest Son.
Jiang Yimian only glanced at the Porcelain Bottle in fear. As if suddenly thinking of something, she said with a horrified expression, “No, I, I won’t administer Poison, you, you find someone else.
I won’t Help you, I will tell A’jian about today’s events.”
Saying that, she suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, her footsteps a little flustered, as if she was really frightened.
The Purple-Clothed Maid quickly stepped forward to stop her, gently tempting, “Jiang Girl, the Eldest Young Master is only playing with you, he won’t marry you as his Legal Wife.
If you don’t believe it, in two Days, after the Palace Banquet ends, you will know. The Marquis will ask Your Majesty to grant an Imperial Marriage Decree to the Eldest Young Master at the Palace Banquet.
Once the Imperial Decree is issued, no one can change it. If you do nothing, Young Master Lu will only have a Harmonious Marriage with that Miss Xue.
You can only watch them get Married. No one will know about the relationship between you and Young Master Lu. At that time, you might even be driven out of the Capital by Young Master Lu.
Or, you might say that you can be Young Master Lu’s Mistress, but a Mistress can only wait for the Young Master to come and favor her. If he doesn’t want to come, you can only live alone in an empty room. In the future, all of the Lu Family Fortune will have nothing to do with you.
Are you willing to live such Days?
This thing isn’t Poison either. If you feed it to the Young Master, he will only temporarily lose his mobility and become a living dead person who can’t move.
The Xue Family aren’t fools either. They definitely won’t marry their Daughter into the family to suffer.
At that time, you can stay by the Eldest Young Master’s side to take care of him, and you can also get Madam Lu’s Help to make Bao Xiang Shop’s Business better and better.
When Miss Xue and Young Master Lu’s Marriage is cancelled, you can then feed the Young Master the Antidote. The Young Master will definitely be touched that you have been by his Sickbed, and he will marry you as his Legal Wife.
In this way, you can not only be with the Eldest Young Master properly, but also get Madam Lu’s Help. Wouldn’t this be a Double Happiness?”
The Purple-Clothed Maid spoke Seriously. If it weren’t for the flash of Disdain in her eyes, Jiang Yimian might have thought that everything this person said was true.
It had to be said that this pair of mistress and Maid knew how to manipulate people, one with Silver, the other with emotions. If a truly Ordinary Woman stood here, she might really be persuaded.
She only blinked her big eyes and said somewhat fearfully, “But, but A’jian said that he only likes me and won’t marry anyone else.
I believe in A’jian.”
If Lu Cijian really dared to abandon her and marry someone else, she would definitely kill him first.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shuyu only laughed, “A Man’s words are the most untrustworthy. Lu Cijian’s words are just to coax you.
Just like Duke Anguo back then, no matter how deeply in love he and the Late Madam were, didn’t he still marry me in the end.
You should have heard about this.
How much do you think Lu Cijian’s love words are credible?”
Thinking of what happened back then, only a few mocking smiles appeared on her face.
If she hadn’t been coaxed by Lu Chengyuan back then, how could she have become like this now, having to please Lu Chengyuan in order to live well.
Jiang Yimian was still a little hesitant, and after a good while she retorted, “But, but, wasn’t the Late Madam ill and died?
The Marquis married you only so that the Marquis Residence could have a new female Family Head. I heard that he still commemorates the Late Madam every year.”
Chen Shuyu, hearing these words, laughed so hard that Tears came out. She wiped the corner of her eyes and said, “What do you think the Late Madam died of?
Did a perfectly fine person just die for no reason?
You are so naive.”
Back then, the incident happened suddenly. At that time, she was wholeheartedly in love with Lu Chengyuan and didn’t even notice the clues, only happy that she could successfully marry into Duke Anguo’s Residence.
Later, when she thought about it, she felt that there was something fishy, but she didn’t dare to investigate it carefully, pretending not to know anything, and acting as a virtuous Madam Marquis in the residence.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect to hear the real cause of death of the Late Madam, which was an unexpected surprise.
Thinking that, she said fearfully, “Then, then how else could she have died? Madam Lu, don’t joke, people outside all say that the Late Madam died of illness.”
Chen Shuyu’s face suddenly turned cold, and she sneered before saying, “Do you think Lu Chengyuan is a good person? Watching his Madam die tragically with his own eyes, and so cruelly throwing his own Son to the Estate. If he could have cared about Lu Cijian a little bit, I wouldn’t have been able to successfully cut back on Lu Cijian’s food, clothing, and expenses at the Estate.
In the end, he doesn’t care about his Son at all. How much sincerity can such a person have?”
After the words fell, she snorted coldly again, seeming to feel that she had said too much. She looked at Jiang Yimian and said coldly, “Men are all untrustworthy. If you get Lu Cijian to drink this thing, I will agree to whatever you want, how about it?”
Her Conditions had already been laid out. Anyone with a brain should agree.
Jiang Yimian only lowered her eyes, seeming to be struggling. After a good while, she said, “Let me consider it.”
Chen Shuyu sneered, dissatisfied, “I hope you can figure it out sooner. In two Days, after the Palace Banquet ends, the news that Lu Cijian and Miss Xue have been granted an Imperial Marriage Decree by Your Majesty will definitely spread throughout the city.
If you don’t act again by then, there will be no chance.”
After the words fell, she got up from the Soft Couch, and the Purple-Clothed Maid next to her quickly stepped forward to Help her leave.
After the Two People’s figures disappeared in the Private Room, the Nervousness and hesitation on Jiang Yimian’s face instantly disappeared completely, replaced by a face full of interest.
