Chapter 280: Second Old Master and Second Madam
The duo nodded at the State Minister before leaving in their respective directions.
The State Minister stayed where he was for a while before walking towards the middle path.
Lu Sheng circled the nearby alley a few times. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she was about to leave when she smelled a stench.
She looked up and saw two clouds of black mist floating past her alley and entering a house.
Lu Sheng narrowed her eyes. She took out the Invisibility Talisman and pasted it on herself before climbing over the wall and entering the house.
At the corner, the two black clouds transformed into a middle-aged couple. They touched each other and giggled before entering the corridor.
The courtyard of this family was very big. They should not be an ordinary family.
Lu Sheng swallowed the Qi Covering Pill Chu Sihan gave her before following the two Illusory Demons.
“Second Old Master, Second Madam!”
Not far away, two servants walked over. After bowing, they looked at the two of them suspiciously.
‘Second Master’ waved his hand impatiently. “Why are you still standing here? Go and do what you’re supposed to do.”
“Yes!”
The two servants stood up and retreated to the side to let the two Illusory Demons pa.s.s.
“Strange. Didn’t Second Old Master and Second Madam return to Mingshan Town? Why are they back so soon?”
“That’s right. It takes seven to eight days to travel back and forth. They’ve only been gone for two days. Could they have encountered something on the way back and returned?”
“Possibly.”
Although the two servants were puzzled, they did not suspect anything when they saw that the two of them indeed looked identical to Second Old Master and Second Madam. Even their att.i.tudes and tones were the same.
When Lu Sheng heard the two servants’ words, she smiled faintly and continued following the two Illusory Demons.
Along the way, the servants in the mansion bowed to them.
“Didn’t Second Old Master and Second Madam return to Mingshan? Why have you returned?”
A bolder old servant asked the question in his heart.
‘Second Madam’ smiled and replied, “Oh, we only remembered that we didn’t bring something important along the way.”
“I see!”
The old servant nodded and did not suspect anything else.
“What’s wrong? It’s so noisy.”
A hoa.r.s.e voice was heard. Lu Sheng looked over and saw a graceful matriarch holding a boy’s hand walking over. They were surrounded by servants.
Lu Sheng’s eyes widened. Wasn’t this the grandparent-grandchild pair who begged in Huang Yang Town?
Hence, she was right last night. It was really them.
“Mother is here!”
“Greetings, Mother!”
The two demons’ gaze landed on the little boy for a while before they bowed to the Matriarch.
Lu Sheng noticed their gazes.
It seemed like these two Illusory Demons were here for the boy’s blood.
The matriarch frowned. “Didn’t you return to Mingshan? Why are you back?”
It was obvious that the matriarch did not like the Second Old Master and Second Madam much.
Instead, it was obvious from the ‘Second Old Master”s respectful expression towards the matriarch that the real Second Old Master should be very afraid of her.
“I forgot something and was about to leave after coming back to get it.”
As the ‘Second Madam’ spoke, she gradually approached the little boy.
The boy retreated expressionlessly, seemingly not liking her approach.
Lu Sheng went forward and pulled the boy back without caring about anything else.
The boy was stunned. He turned back and looked behind him. However, there was no one there except for the servants.
