Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 219: Put On a Show

The winding corridor was quiet. Lu Sheng walked quietly with light footsteps.

Dongfang Yuechu’s room was still lit. Through the window lattices, she could still see what was going on inside and could faintly hear the conversation inside.

“Miss, Sister Xianger has disappeared. Her precious items have also disappeared.”

Lu Sheng recognized that it was Lianer’s voice.

“Go look around the courtyard. If you can’t find her, get someone to look around the mansion. If you still can’t find her, then don’t bother.”

Dongfang Yuechu’s tired voice was heard.

“Yes!”

Lianer was a smart person. Seeing her Miss’ attitude, she also guessed some things.

However, she truly did not understand why Xianger would suddenly flee from Dongfang Mansion.

After all, Miss was really nice to her. As long as she asked, Miss would definitely give her the small items that she liked. They did not look like master and servant, but more like sisters.

Could it be that after Miss woke up today, her attitude towards her had become a little milder, so she felt upset?

No matter how Lianer thought about it, she could not understand.

After everyone left, Lu Sheng opened the window.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room, and Dongfang Yuechu’s expression changed slightly. “Who’s there?”

“Miss Dongfang, it’s me!”

After Lu Sheng jumped in and closed the window, she heard Dongfang Yuechu’s voice.

“Miss Lu?”

Dongfang Yuechu was surprised. “Miss Lu, why are you here?”

Lu Sheng looked outside the door and said in a low voice, “I’m here to talk to you about something.”

“Miss Lu, please take a seat first. There’s hot tea on the table.”

Dongfang Yuechu’s originally tense mood also relaxed a lot.

After Lu Sheng sat down, she did not pour herself a cup of tea. Instead, she said in a low voice, “Xianger was chased by Butler Dongfang after escaping from Dongfang Mansion today. However, I happened to pass by with Lord and saved her.”

“She really escaped?”

Dongfang Yuechu’s eyes dimmed. “How is she now?”

Xianger didn’t care about their relationship as master and servant, but she still had to. After all, she had served her for several years. Even if she didn’t perform meritorious deeds, she had done hard work.

Lu Sheng said, “She’s fine. She just fainted from shock.”

Actually, she had drugged her, but Lu Sheng would not tell her the truth.

Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly. “Miss Lu, did you come here today to tell me this?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “There’s one more thing. I hope you can put on a show.”

Dongfang Yuechu frowned. “What show?”

“Fake your death.”

“Fake my death? Why?”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and looked at her. “I’m sure you know what kind of result Second Aunt and Mdm Dongfang want to see the most, right?”

Dongfang Yuechu nodded.

Didn’t they want to see her die in pain?

Dongfang Yuechu suddenly realized something.

“Miss Lu wants me to lure the snake out of its hole?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Only by doing this can your father see Second Aunt’s true colors.”

She could tell that Old Master Dongfang cared about Dongfang Yuechu. This was also the reason why he had reported the matter to the authorities when Dongfang Yuechu had been cursed.

This was probably one of the reasons why Second Aunt wanted Dongfang Yuechu’s life.

With Dongfang Yuechu around, most of the Dongfang Mansion’s wealth would fall into Dongfang Yuechu’s hands. Her son and daughter would definitely not be able to get much.

After all, Dongfang Mansion’s business was closely related to the Bi family.

This was also the second reason why she had resisted the urge to openly fall out with Dongfang Yuechu all these years. She had even allowed her children to get close to Dongfang Yuechu.

As for the third reason, as long as Dongfang Yuechu was dead and Nanny Zhu revealed the culprit as Mdm Zhou, the Bi family would definitely hate Mdm Dongfang the most and not her, Liao Ruyi.

At that time, even if the Dongfang Mansion’s business fell into her son’s hands, the Bi family would not give up their cooperation with Dongfang Mansion.
