Chapter 207: Dongfang Riming
Official Lu scratched his head.
He felt that his younger brother loved money. In the past, before they fell out, he would come to him every day to search for treasures.
He had thought that his little niece would be the same. He did not expect that not only was she not be moved by his precious, but her expression changed instead.
Could it be that he felt that his gift was too tacky?
“Well… Little niece, if you don’t like this, Uncle still has…”
“Thank you, Uncle!”
Before he could say the word ‘other’, Lu Sheng had already squatted down and hugged the two jars with a smile.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome!”
Seeing her accept them, Official Lu’s originally anxious heart finally relaxed.
“Uncle used to have a lot of them here, but your father looted them all.”
Chu Sihan subconsciously looked at Lu Sheng, only to see that she had already put her things away.
Moreover, it was unknown if she had heard Official Lu mention the word ‘father’.
Actually, Lu Sheng did hear it, but she didn’t think too much about it. Neither did she guess about other things.
In her heart, her master was indeed her father. Regardless of whether he was her biological father or not, he was still her father.
Therefore, her focus was not on the word ‘father’, but on ‘father often looted them’.
No wonder Master would disappear for a period of time. He came to the Netherworld to cheat his brother!
“How has your father been recently?” Official Lu asked with a smile.
It was rare to see a smile on his face. The guards outside the door couldn’t help but peek in.
Lu Sheng nodded. “My master is quite good. He eats and drinks well. He’s rich, powerful, and carefree.”
Official Lu nodded. “That’s good!”
Ever since Lu Sheng’s mother’s soul dissipated, Lu Zhou had never come to see him even if he came to the Underworld. Most of the time, he was at Yanluo Hall.
Every time he heard him go over, he would leave first.
Then, when he returned to the Judgment Hall, he heard his subordinate report that Lu Zhou had come to take his treasure again.
He thought about how he only had this one brother. Besides, there was no point in keeping those treasures. Therefore, every time Lu Zhou came to take his treasures, he didn’t have much of a reaction.
“Lord, Dongfang Riming has arrived.”
At this moment, two guards led a sixteen-year-old boy in and reported.
This youth’s appearance was somewhat similar to Mdm Dongfang’s.
He nervously greeted Chu Sihan and Official Lu before standing by the side obediently with a somewhat restrained expression.
Official Lu looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Your Highness, I’ve brought him here. If you want to ask anything, go ahead.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and walked towards Dongfang Riming.
“I… Your Highness, what can I do for you?!”
Dongfang Riming bowed and asked.
“Don’t be afraid. We just want to ask you a few questions.”
Seeing that the young man’s face had turned pale from fright, Lu Sheng, who walked over, hurriedly consoled him softly.
Chu Sihan frowned slightly and asked calmly, “Do you still remember your mother?”
The youth nodded. “Every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, I would go back to Dongfang Mansion to visit my mother.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and asked again, “Do you know who caused your death back then?”
Dongfang Mingri nodded. “I remember!”
He bent over and lowered his head, his voice wavering. “It’s Butler Dongfang and Nanny Zhu.”
“What?”
Lu Sheng was shocked. Chu Sihan did not expect it to be these two either.
Forget it that Butler Dongfang was involved. Why was Nanny Zhu one of the culprits as well?
“Isn’t Nanny Zhu your mother’s trusted aide? Why would she kill you?”
Lu Sheng asked the question in her heart.
