Chapter 222: Worthless
Lu Sheng frowned. “A historical reason?”
“Yes.” Chu Sihan nodded. “It’s indeed against history to auction something from the future dynasty here.”
“In that case, this thing is equivalent to being worthless here?”
“That’s right.”
Lu Zhou replied expressionlessly.
Lu Sheng was close to tears when she heard that. She initially thought that she was one step closer to becoming a rich lady. She did not expect to return to her former self.
“Don’t cry!” Chu Sihan patted her head lightly and said sympathetically, “Don’t forget that you still have a hundred thousand taels of silver.”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng’s gloomy mood immediately brightened.
Lu Zhou coughed and said lightly, “So, you’re staying here tonight?”
Was his little rabbit tricked by the wolf?
They were not even married yet. How could a man and a woman stay in the same room?!
How was this proper?
“Yes!”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Lord is living next door. I’ll live here.”
“Oh!”
Lu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, his daughter was smart and knew how to protect herself. That was good!
“Who... who are you? Let go of me!”
The sudden voice attracted their attention.
Lu Zhou turned his head suspiciously and looked into the screen. He frowned and asked, “What’s that noise?”
Lu Sheng chuckled and did not answer his question. Instead, she stood up and walked towards the screen.
“It’s you!”
Xianger, who was originally struggling, immediately stopped struggling when she saw who walked in.
After being surprised, she questioned angrily, “Why did you tie me up?”
“Tie you up?”
Lu Sheng walked to the couch and sat down. She pinched her chin and said calmly, “If it weren’t for me, you would have been killed by Butler Dongfang.”
After hearing her words, Xianger finally remembered that she was being chased by Butler Dongfang.
Her expression changed slightly and she pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.
Lu Sheng untied the ropes on her body and looked at her. She said lightly, “If you leave now, I won’t stop you. However, do you believe that as long as you step out of the inn, you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow?”
“Tell me.”
Xianger sat up and lowered her head to compromise. “Miss Lu, what do you want me to do?”
“It’s simple. I want you to follow me to Dongfang Mansion tomorrow night to expose Second Aunt’s actions towards Miss Dongfang all these years.”
Xianger suddenly looked up and looked at her in surprise.
“How... how did you know Second Aunt wanted to harm our Miss?”
Even if Lu Sheng was suspicious, shouldn’t she first suspect Mdm?
After all, Second Aunt was very ‘considerate’ to Miss.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “You don’t have to know how. You just have to remember that if you want to live, you have to do as I say. Otherwise, I can’t protect you.”
Xianger’s face paled slightly. She gritted her teeth and nodded. “Okay, I promise you!”
Lu Sheng was right. If she left now, she would definitely die.
Second Aunt’s men were probably looking for her everywhere now.
Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well expose Second Aunt’s true colors. Perhaps, there was still a chance of survival.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and said lightly, “Stay here for now. When the mission is completed tomorrow night, I’ll send you out of Lin Jiang Mansion personally.”
“Thank you!”
Xianger knelt on the couch and kowtowed to Lu Sheng with reddened eyes.
Lu Sheng stood up to avoid her and said lightly, “The person you should really thank is your Miss, not me.”
If not for Chu Sihan, she would not have bothered about these matters.
