Chapter 722 Mother, It’s Done
Mother Lu nodded: "There are many people here, it's not good for us to keep watching the wing room, lest someone see our purpose."
"Yue'er, let's go sit in the pavilion over there first."
Lu Jiangyue nodded and left with Lu's mother.
……
Normally, many people would leave after offering incense. But now the Imperial Concubine Chen is the most favored among the six palaces, and she has even given birth to the fourth prince. Who wouldn't want to be close to the Shen family?
What's more, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is also here.
Even those who were not very close to the Shen family chose to stay and have dinner.
The areas for male and female guests were separate. Neither Lu Jianglin nor Shen Maoxue noticed at this time that Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue were not at the banquet.
The King of Jin was the most honorable among all the people present, so he was naturally praised by everyone like a star among the moon.
Lu Jianglin also took the opportunity to raise his glass and said to the King of Jin: "I toast to His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"
Although he was already a fellow Jinshi of the imperial court, he did not hold an official position. If such a person were not Shen Maoxue's son-in-law, he would not even be qualified to approach the King of Jin, let alone talk to him.
The attitude of the King of Jin towards Lu Jianglin was as gentle as that towards Shen Maoxue: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Shen has a virtuous son-in-law who has passed the imperial examination at a young age. After meeting him today, I can see that Mr. Lu is indeed a handsome man!"
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin not only knew him, but even remembered his last name.
Lu Jianglin quickly said modestly, "No, no. Your Highness Prince Jin is too kind."
Although Shen Maoxue was unwilling to let Lu Jianglin get too close to King Jin, he couldn't say anything in front of everyone.
Fortunately, the two of them just exchanged a few casual words and did not arouse suspicion.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the maid who was serving the dishes bumped into Lu Jianglin without paying attention.
He staggered forward a few steps and the wine in his hand accidentally spilled onto Prince Jin's robe.
The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I know my crime! I know my crime! Please spare my life, sir!"
Lu Jianglin's face turned pale, and he looked at King Jin apologetically, put down his wine glass and bowed, saying, "I made a mistake for a moment, I hope Your Highness King Jin will not blame me."
If the occasion wasn't wrong, he really wanted to glare at that maid!
How could such a clumsy servant serve in the Shen family?
As the master of the house, Shen Maoxue said quickly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, this..."
Before Shen Maoxue could finish his words, King Jin smiled gently and said, "No problem."
"I know that the Shen family is busy today. I was nervous for a moment and made a small mistake. It is understandable. Lord Shen, please don't blame her."
At this point, King Jin said gently to the slave who was kneeling on the ground: "Okay, get down quickly."
"If you are tired, take a rest and don't make any more mistakes."
The maid never thought that she, with such a humble status, could talk to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin one day. And His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was so tolerant and gentle!
No wonder everyone in the folks says that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is a first-class wise king!
The maid was filled with gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin! Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin!"
Then he retreated.
Shen Maoxue said to the housekeeper, "Hurry up and take Prince Jin to the wing room to change his clothes."
The butler replied "yes" and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness Prince Jin, please follow me over here."
Prince Jin did not take this episode to heart and followed the butler towards the wing rooms.
……
There are many guests in the Shen family today, and they are all resting in the side rooms.
From time to time, a maid would bring in freshly brewed tea to them and ask if they had any other instructions.
If not, they will retreat respectfully.
Although it was not the first time that Lu Jiangyue and her mother came to the Shen family, Shen Maoxue looked down on their status and rarely let them stay at home for a long time.
Therefore, Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue were not familiar with the layout of the Shen family at all.
The two of them sneaked from the pavilion to a place not far from the wing room, both of them were a little confused.
"This is the downside of a wealthy family. The mansion is so big, and there are so many side rooms. They all look the same. Who can tell which is which..."
Mother Lu asked in confusion, "Yue'er, do you still remember the old servant beside Master Jiang and which room he took him to?"
Lu Jiangyue frowned, and a trace of confusion flashed across her little face.
She looked carefully, counted carefully, and finally said with certainty, "The fourth room!"
Mother Lu was a little worried: "Yue'er, are you sure you remembered it correctly?"
"If something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble..."
Lu Jiangyue said firmly: "I won't remember it wrong. I remember it clearly, it's the fourth room!"
"Master Jiang must be inside!"
Only then did Mother Lu nod, look around, and begin looking for an opportunity.
Just at this moment, a maid came over here carrying a tray.
On the tray was a freshly brewed pot of hot tea and a few teacups.
Mother Lu immediately stopped the maid.
The maid recognized them and bowed: "Greetings, Madam Lu, Miss Lu!"
Mother Lu rudely took the tray from her hand and said, "We are going to drink this pot of tea. Okay, you can go down."
The maidservant did not suspect anything and replied "yes", then bowed and left.
The two of them quickly walked behind the banana tree and hid themselves.
Lu Jiangyue urged, "Mom, hurry up! Someone else is coming over soon!"
Mother Lu hurriedly took out the packet of medicine for pigs from her arms, then opened the lid of the teapot and sprinkled a little in.
Lu Jiangyue said impatiently: "Mom, please sprinkle a little more! It's just this little bit. What if it doesn't work? Then all our plans today will be in vain, right?"
Mother Lu was a little worried: "This is a strong medicine after all. If you use too much, it might hurt Wenquxing's body..."
Lu Jiangyue snatched the medicine bag from Lu's mother's hand, poured it all into the teapot, and then shook the teapot.
"Now that we have done it, we must do it more thoroughly."
"Mr. Jiang's health is so poor. If you don't use more medicine, what if he can't respond?"
Seeing this, Mother Lu didn't say anything else.
The two men carried the trays again, walked to the path, and called a maid.
The maid stopped and asked respectfully, "What instructions do Madam Lu and Miss Lu have?"
Lu Jiangyue said calmly, "We just met a maid on the road. She had eaten something bad and suddenly had severe abdominal pain. She gave us this pot of tea and asked us to find someone to deliver it to the fourth wing."
"Since I've met you, you can do it for me."
This is not a big deal. The maid took the tray and said politely, "Yes!"
Lu Jiangyue pulled Lu's mother back to a dark place and saw with his own eyes the maid brought the teapot into the room and then left.
Lu Jiangyue nervously grabbed Mother Lu's hand: "Mom, it's done!"
