Chapter 200: Netherworld (1)
“Right.”
Lu Sheng said, “Actually, Mdm Dongfang doesn’t have tuberculosis.”
Lu Sheng did not understand Dongfang Yuechu. Neither did she know her personality. She also didn’t understand her mother. Therefore, she did not dare to jump to conclusions.
“Are you saying that Mdm Dongfang is feigning illness?” Chu Sihan frowned. “Why?”
He had never seen this lady before, and he did not know if she was really sick or pretending to be sick.
However, Dongfang Yuechu was already twenty-eight years old. In other words, she had been feigning illness for sixteen years?
She was too good at pretending. She had not revealed any flaws even after so many years.
“From what Mdm Dongfang said, it seems that her son’s death is related to Miss Dongfang’s mother.”
“That’s unlikely,” Chu Sihan replied calmly.
Although he had never met this ex-wife of the Dongfang Mansion, he had heard of her reputation. He had heard that she was a gentle and refined woman.
She was the fourth daughter of the Bi family in the capital. Her mother was a respectable person in the capital and was famous for being kind and virtuous.
His grandmother had praised this pair of mother-and-daughter many times, and he had met Matriarch Bi before. She was indeed a very amiable old lady.
“Why is the Lord so certain?” Lu Sheng was curious.
Chu Sihan explained, “Dongfang Yuechu’s mother is the fourth daughter of the Bi family in the capital. She is known to be gentle and virtuous in the capital. It was said that when she was young, she was scared sick for a few months when she saw a servant beat a dog to its death.”
How could such a cowardly person kill people so easily?
“Could there be a misunderstanding?” Lu Sheng frowned slightly. “It seems like we have to investigate this matter properly.”
After she finished mumbling, she suddenly glanced at Chu Sihan and said with a smile, “Lord, help me summon a soul.”
Chu Sihan froze and looked at her in surprise. “What did you say?”
“I said, please help me summon a soul.” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I know you’ve awakened.”
Although she was careless sometimes, she was still very careful at crucial moments.
Both times, Chu Sihan had addressed her master as ”Lu’.
Normally, this word should not appear.
Previously, Chu Sihan had only addressed her master as the Third Prince. Hence, even if he addressed him wrongly, he would not have used ‘Lu’.
Therefore, the only possibility was that he wanted to call her ‘Uncle-Master Lu’.
“When did you discover it?” Chu Sihan was curious.
Lu Sheng shrugged and smiled. “I can tell from the way you interact with my master.”
Chu Sihan chuckled. He had wanted to pretend, but he did not expect the young lady to be so meticulous.
“Alright.” He nodded slightly and asked with a smile, “Who do you want to summon?”
Lu Sheng said, “Mdm Dongfang’s son.”
Chu Sihan nodded. “Alright. In a while, I’ll bring you to the Netherworld to look for Official Lu personally. I’ll get him to help me.”
“To the Netherworld?”
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Can I go too?”
“Yes.”
Chu Sihan nodded and smiled.
He could tell that she seemed to like the Netherworld.
Unfortunately, she still had a physical body and couldn’t stay in the Netherworld for a long time. Otherwise, when they got married in the future, he would definitely bring her back to the Netherworld to live.
“That’s great!”
It had been a lifetime since she last went to the Netherworld.
At that time, she was only fifteen years old. Coincidentally, her master had something to attend to in the Netherworld, so he brought her along. Of course, other than the Bridge of Helplessness and the Ghost City, she had never been to other places.
Speaking of this, Lu Sheng felt a little awkward.
She had previously bragged to Chu Sihan that she had seen the Bridge of Helplessness, but she did not expect him to be the owner of that place.
