I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Mrs. Liu was not feeling well, so she went to bed early after taking the medicine.

But not long after she lay down, her stomach started to hurt again.

Liu thought her stomachache was not completely healed, and thought the pain would go away after the medicine took effect, so she didn't pay much attention to it and lay on the bed, enduring the pain. However, she didn't expect that she would endure it until her last breath.

The next morning, Qu Lian was worried about Liu and came to visit her in the main room.

As a result, when she pushed open the door, she saw Liu's face with a purple bruise and her eyes wide open, looking dead. She was so scared that she screamed immediately.

"Ah! The old lady is dead!".

Qu Lian screamed, and the Gu family's yard suddenly became lively.

Liu was dead, and because she had been dead for so long, her body had become stiff, so there was no need to detect her breath at all. Anyone with eyes could tell that she was dead.

Liu's death was so sudden that everyone in the Gu family was shocked.

Chen Yuan was mentally prepared for Liu's death, and her surprise was just pretend.

"Oh my God! What happened? Wasn't my mother-in-law almost well yesterday? Why did she suddenly..." Chen Yuan covered her mouth and turned to the maid at home and said, "Hurry, go and send a letter to my husband!"

Gu Zhaoming went out to report for duty at yin hour. By now, everyone had already entered the palace gate, so he could only send a message inside to call them out.

Luzhu stood outside the door and watched Liu's death from afar. She was so scared that she fell to the ground.

It was over. The old lady was dead. Her lips were black and purple. Anyone could tell that she had died of poisoning. And yesterday, the old lady finally took the medicine she had prepared.

Luzhu couldn't help but look at Chen Yuan, who was covering his eyes with a handkerchief and pretending to cry.

If the old lady's death was an accident, Luzhu would not believe it.

But she remembered that she did not poison the old lady, and she had no reason to poison her.

Who poisoned the old lady and put the blame on her?

When Luzhu thought of this possibility, she immediately became unable to sit still.

Yes! It must be the young lady. She knows best whether Luzhu herself poisoned the old lady. If it wasn't her, then the young lady is most likely the suspect who poisoned the old lady.

Because the young lady had been beaten by the old lady and her husband before, so it is not impossible that she holds a grudge against him.

As for the others, Aunt Qu has even less reason to harm the old lady. After all, Aunt Qu relies on the old lady to have a good life. As long as she is not stupid or crazy, she will not do such a thing.

As for the other two maids and the cook, their indentures are in the hands of their master. If the master dies, the servants will not have a good ending. Therefore, as servants, they will never harm the old lady unless there is a reason to risk her life.

Therefore, the murderer is most likely the lady.

Luzhu hurried into the kitchen, but all the medicine jars in the kitchen had been cleaned up long ago, so she had no evidence.

At this point, no matter whether the murderer was a young lady or not, Luzhu knew that she could not escape death.

When Luzhu thought of this possibility, she could no longer stay there. While everyone's attention was focused on Liu's death, she quietly went out and chased in the direction of the palace.

She had to tell her brother-in-law that Chen Yuan had drugged him before he came home. Only in this way could she escape the disaster.

Chen Yuan asked the maid to deal with Liu, and then went to find Lu Zhu to question her. However, when he turned around, he found that Lu Zhu had run away.

Chen Yuan was immediately furious and quickly asked his servants to go find Lu Zhu.

This maidservant is a slave who harms her master, and she cannot be allowed to escape.

Chen Yuan thought that Lu Zhu ran away because she was too scared. He never expected that not only did Lu Zhu not run away, but she also went to the palace gate to wait for Gu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhu was also cautious. She did not dare to get too close to the palace gate. When she saw the coachman talking to the guards guarding the palace gate, she quickly hid aside and waited for the guards to pass on the message.

After two quarters of an hour, Gu Zhaoming came out of the palace. When Gu Zhaoming heard the news of the old lady's sudden death and was about to get on the carriage in a panic, she ran out like a gust of wind and knelt down in front of Gu Zhaoming.

"Son-in-law! I did not poison the old lady! Please clear my name!" Luzhu knelt in front of Gu Zhaoming, crying.

Her shout attracted the attention of the guards on both sides of the palace gate.

Gu Zhaoming's eyes darkened, and he stood beside the carriage and picked up Luzhu, "Let's get in the carriage first and go back and talk!"

Seeing this, Luzhu hurriedly got on the carriage.

The carriage started moving slowly. Without waiting for Gu Zhaoming to ask any questions, Luzhu hurriedly told the story of Liu's death like pouring beans.

Gu Zhaoming clenched his fists, his face twitched, and his eyes turned red. Luzhu looked at Gu Zhaoming carefully and said tentatively, "Son-in-law, you must trust me. My life and property are in the Gu family. I swear I will never do anything to harm my master!"

Gu Zhaoming's eyes were red. "Tell me what happened when you met the old lady yesterday."

Luzhu was also a little nervous. "When I went to deliver medicine to the old lady last night, she was still fine. She looked like she was about to get better."

Gu Zhaoming recalled that when he came back from work yesterday to visit his mother, she indeed looked like she was getting better.

"Wait, you said you were delivering medicine. Did you make that medicine yourself?" Gu Zhaoming's sharp eyes fell on Luzhu.

Luzhu felt that there was nothing wrong with admitting this, "Yes, I made all the medicine for the old lady yesterday."

Gu Zhaoming frowned and thought for a while, "When you boiled the medicine yesterday afternoon, did you use someone else's hand to do it?"

Gu Zhaoming was already certain that the problem lay with the bowl of medicine last night.

Luzhu thought about it and shook her head, "No, I made all the medicine yesterday by myself."

Suddenly, she thought of something, paused, and spoke a little weaker, "However, I didn't stay by the medicine stove all the time when I was boiling the medicine. I also did other things. I think you should know that there are not many servants in the family. If I stay by the stove all the time, the master will think that I am taking the opportunity to be lazy..."

When Luzhu finished her speech, she lowered her head. She seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked up at Gu Zhaoming.

"If you have anything, just say it."

Lu Zhu's face turned pale. "I know that due to my negligence, the bad guys took advantage of the opportunity and harmed the old lady. I don't ask for forgiveness, my master, but only ask you to spare my life."

Gu Zhaoming's face looked a little bad. His mother was dead, and this girl dared to beg for life. Was he usually too easy to talk to?

Seeing that Gu Zhaoming looked a little unhappy, Luzhu calmed herself down and decided to tell Gu Zhaoming what she had seen that day.

"The old lady is gone. I know that my death is not worth it. However, I have something important to report to you, my lord. I only hope that you can let me go after hearing it."

Gu Zhaoming didn't care about what Luzhu said.

"what's up?"

"I wonder if you still remember the supplements that Miss prepared for you some time ago?"

"continue."

"I saw with my own eyes that Miss secretly put some unknown powder into those supplements."

Gu Zhaoming frowned. He didn't feel any discomfort after taking Chen Yuan's supplements.

Lu Zhu saw what Gu Zhaoming was thinking and said carefully, "I thought that the young lady used some secret medicine for the health of the uncle, but I found that only the tonic that the uncle took had that kind of medicine added to it."

Gu Zhaoming looked at Lu Zhu sharply, "If what you said is false, you know the consequences."

Luzhu immediately raised her right hand and swore, "If I tell a lie, God will strike me with lightning!"

When Gu Zhaoming saw Luzhu swearing, he knew that what she said was true. He frowned and began to think deeply.

Luzhu didn't dare to speak and huddled in the carriage alone.

Soon the carriage arrived outside the Gu family's door. As soon as Gu Zhaoming got off the carriage, Chen Yuan immediately rushed over.

"Husband, mother...she passed away. That girl Luzhu killed mother and ran away..." Before she could finish her words, Luzhu jumped out of the carriage.
