Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 196: Mdm Dongfang

“After that, right after Lord Chu entered, that lady stepped in as well.”

Chu Sihan had always liked to do things by himself. He would personally attend many cases in Lin Jiang Mansion. Therefore, the woman was not surprised when she heard that Chu Sihan would come personally.

She pondered for a moment before asking with a frown, “Do you know which family that lady is from?”

Xianger shook her head. “I’ve never seen this person among the young ladies of Lin Jiang Mansion.”

“If she’s not from Lin Jiang Mansion, could she be from the capital?”

That woman frowned slightly. “How did she discover the silver needles on Dongfang Yuechu’s head?”

“I don’t know either!”

Xianger explained, “She only told Old Master that Dongfang Yuechu might have been under a curse. After that, she began to search Dongfang Yuechu’s head.”

At that time, the lights in the courtyard were dim and Dongfang Yuechu’s hair was thick. Logically speaking, the three needles should not have been easily discovered.

Xianger did not expect Lu Sheng to know these things despite her young age.

“Something’s not good!”

The woman got up and whispered to Nanny Zhu, “Find a chance to see how the master’s doing.”

“Yes!”

Nanny Zhu left after that.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly and let Tan Jun out. She then pointed at Nanny Zhu and said in a low voice, “Follow her. Tell me the address when you come back later. Remember, don’t get too close.”

Tan Jun nodded and floated out of the house, leaving with Nanny Zhu.

Xianger said nervously, “I saw Head Constable Bao bring his men to the various courtyards just now. They should be here soon. I cannot stay here for too long.”

Lu Sheng was puzzled.

Xianger called this woman ‘Mdm’. Could it be that she wasn’t the one who gave birth to Dongfang Yuechu?

Or could it be that Old Master Dongfang remarried?

Also, why would the Mdm of the Dongfang Mansion stay in such a place?

“Then, hurry back.”

After the woman finished speaking, she waved her hand and said indifferently, “Take the shortcut back. Don’t let anyone discover that you’ve been here.”

“Yes!”

Xianger pursed her lips and left.

Lu Sheng did not leave with her but stood where she was.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

The woman’s expression turned slightly cold. She picked up the cloak and draped it over her body, then strode out the door.

Lu Sheng followed her out.

“Cough, cough —”

After the woman opened the door, she kowtowed twice and asked in a low voice, “Why are the officials here?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and coughed lightly. Her sickly appearance was simply different from before.

Lu Sheng slightly raised her brows. He only felt that the people from the Dongfang Mansion were very interesting.

One of the guards bowed and asked in a low voice, “Sorry for disturbing, Mdm Dongfang. I would like to ask, has Mdm been to the front courtyard today?”

“Recently, I’ve been seriously ill again. I didn’t even dare to let anyone in, so how would I dare to go to the front courtyard?”

Mdm Dongfang coughed again and asked slowly, “What happened in the front courtyard?”

The guard said, “Miss Dongfang is sick and suspected to have been cursed. We came over to investigate. All the courtyards have been checked, except for Mdm’s.”

Mdm Dongfang hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Since you want to investigate, come in.

When the guards heard this, they entered the house in an orderly manner. After searching the house, they all shook their heads.

A guard whispered to another guard, “There are needles and threads in the room, but they are different from those thin needles.”

That guard nodded and said to Mdm Dongfang, “Sorry to disturb you, Mdm. We’ll leave now.”
