Chapter 410 Who Wants to Kill Her
After breakfast, Luo Yu picked a few maids to help prepare the food, including Luhua, the maid who stabbed her in her previous life.
Luhua was the maid that Zhu Jinyou brought with him when he left the palace at the age of fifteen to take up his fiefdom. She was also his personal maid given to him by the Empress Dowager and was deeply trusted by him.
Luo Yu knew that if he suspected Luhua without reason, no matter how much Zhu Jinyou trusted her, he would inevitably doubt how confident she was.
So when making egg tarts, Luo Yu always intentionally or unintentionally let Luhua participate more.
Fortunately, Zhu Jinyou has always been by Luo Hong's side, so Lu Hua has no way to do anything. However, the assassin who was supposed to lure the tiger away from the mountain has not appeared, and Lu Hua cannot do anything bad. Doesn't this clearly reveal that the person who killed Miss Luo Hong was sent by the Queen Mother?
Luo Yu casually pondered how to expose her. She must be hiding that poisoned dagger on her body. In a trance, the dough in his hand unexpectedly formed the shape of a mouse.
Zhu Jinyou accompanied her in rolling noodles. This was his first time to actually go in and out of the kitchen. Not to mention how to make delicious food, he might not even know what the tools in the kitchen were used for.
"The girl's craftsmanship is truly amazing. She made the little mouse look so lifelike."
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, then saw the mouse shape made from the dough in his hand. He quickly handed it to Zhu Jinyou: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
She clapped her hands and muttered, "I'm a little tired, Luhua, come and knead all the dough for me."
"Yes, girl."
Luhua remained calm and composed, and it was impossible to tell that she had some hidden kung fu skills.
When Lu Hua moved to Luo E's side, Luo E stood up and pretended to accidentally step on the silver chopsticks she had left under the table for stirring egg yolks. She slipped and fell towards Lu Hua. In the critical moment, Lu Hua moved swiftly and was about to support the girl when Luo E gently grabbed her sleeve and shook out the dagger.
The moment the dagger slipped, Luhua did not show any panic, but still supported Miss Luo Yu first.
Luo Yu recognized this dagger. It was exactly the same as the dagger in Lu Hua's hand in her previous life. This girl was indeed ready to kill her at any time without leaving any trace.
After Luo Yu stood firm, he calmly picked up the dagger that had fallen on the ground. At the same time, Zhu Jinyou stared at the dagger with suspicion.
"What an exquisite dagger! Do the maids in the mansion usually carry daggers on their bodies for self-defense?"
Luo Yu smiled, looking towards Zhu Jinyou intentionally or unintentionally. Zhu Jinyou's face suddenly turned colder, and he said coldly to another maid beside him: "Call all the maids who serve me personally and go to my study."
Luo Yu knew that Luhua would have her own explanation. Sure enough, when they arrived at the study, Luhua knelt directly at the feet of His Royal Highness Prince Ning. She did not quibble, but only said that she was wrong and should be punished. It was up to her master to decide whether to live or die.
What a loyal maid! Luo Lu sighed. For some reason, he felt a deep sympathy for Lu Hua, who was born into this cannibalistic society. If she had the chance to escape, would she, like Qin Luo Lu, find a way to leave?
Zhu Jinyou couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, so he just asked Song Si to have someone search all the maids.
Luo Yu then said slowly, "Why don't you let me do the search? If we ask a man to come, it will somewhat affect the reputation of the women."
Of course, she was even more afraid that these people were from the same group.
As she thought, except for Luhua, the other personal maids who served Luo Yu all had daggers on them. Zhu Jinyou's face turned pale instantly.
The first person he thought of who could arrange servants to do things for him was the Queen Mother, who wanted Miss Luo Hong's life.
Zhu Jinyou asked the girls to explain what happened, but none of them revealed anything. They just said that they were wrong and wanted their master to convict them.
Luo Yu opened one of the knives, walked over to Lu Hua, squatted down and said to the kneeling Lu Hua: "This dagger is not particularly sharp. If it is used for self-defense, it will not be of much use. It is not used to attack anyone, right? But this is even more unreasonable. When using a dagger that is not sharp enough to attack someone, wouldn't it be too easy?"
Luhua's originally calm face raised her eyes and her eyelashes moved slightly.
Zhu Jinyou thought the same thing as Luo Yu, so he asked, "What do you think, Miss Luo Yu?"
Luo Yu turned to look at Zhu Jinyou, smiled mischievously and said, "Maybe the dagger is poisoned. How about I give her a try?"
Zhu Jinyou agreed to her without thinking.
"it is good."
Luhua remained calm. She knew that Miss Luo Yu was incredibly intelligent, and now it seemed she was indeed quite capable. However, the Queen Mother's methods were even more superior. To deal with someone as clever as Luo Yu, they had to be on high alert. The plantain juice soaked in this dagger wouldn't be toxic to anyone who hadn't consumed certain medications.
Luo Yu had left a small gash on Lu Hua's arm. A pool of bright red blood gushed from her snow-white arm, but Lu Hua only frowned slightly, showing no dissatisfaction or much pain. Luo Yu squatted beside her, his chin propped up on one hand, blinking at Lu Hua with an unusually bright smile.
"Miss Luhua has a good character. If she had a good family background or was betrothed to a good family, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
After that, he pretended to be innocent and asked Zhu Jinyou, "Your Highness, what are you going to do with these young girls?"
"What do you plan to do with Luo Yu? I'll listen to you."
"Let me think about it first."
Luhua didn't know what Luo Yu's intention was. When she cut her arm just now, it was in a place that was not easy to see. She originally thought that Miss Luo Yu would cut a big cut on her face or the back of her hand, ruining her appearance and making her unable to see people again.
After Luo Yu finished slashing, he waited for a while and saw that Lu Hua was fine. He took out another knife and said heartlessly: "How about I try this dagger on my own hand?"
Zhu Jinyou was stunned. Although this was very much in line with Luo Yu's personality, he couldn't let her use herself as an example.
He walked up to Luo Yu and snatched the dagger from his hand: "Qin Luo Yu, don't act recklessly. If you are worried, just try it on me."
Luo Yu feigned surprise: "How can this be possible? If the person they want to harm is me, then the poison on the dagger will only work on me?"
After saying this, she secretly glanced at Luhua and several other maids. They were clearly much more panicked than before, despite their previous calm demeanor.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with these daggers.
When Zhu Jinyou took the dagger and imitated Luo Yu to slash the back of his hand, Luhua's face turned pale with fear. In an instant, her hand moved as lightly as a feather, snatched the dagger from Zhu Jinyou's hand and stabbed it into her heart.
Luo Yu's eyes darkened. She actually used death to clear the Queen Mother of suspicion.
Seeing this, several other maids wanted to follow suit, but fortunately Zhu Jinyou and Song Si were quick-witted and broke the daggers in their hands. Song Si asked several guards to come in and take the people to the underground prison specially set up in the mansion for guarding.
Luo Yu had never imagined that things would end so hastily with such an absurd ending. It seemed that the poison on the dagger was just as she thought, not poisonous to anyone else, but only useful to her and Zhu Jinyou.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu looked up and looked at Zhu Jinyou silently. Even without any evidence, he must know who was behind all this.
