Chapter 193: Dongfang Mansion (1)
When Lu Sheng woke up again, it was already dark outside.
Nanny Yao, who was sitting at the side, heard the commotion and quickly stood up to light the lamp.
Lu Sheng, who was stretching herself, realized that there was someone else in the room and smiled awkwardly.
“Why is Nanny Yao here?”
“Lord has something on and went out. He asked me to stay here and watch over Miss.” Nanny Yao smiled kindly and asked, “Miss Lu, what do you want to eat?”
Lu Sheng smiled politely. “Any food will do.”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare it.”
After saying that, Nanny Yao left.
Lu Sheng got up, put on her clothes and cloak, and headed out to find water to wash up.
By the time she returned, the dishes were already laid out on the table.
“Miss Lu, you’re back? Eat your dinner quickly.”
The food today was a little bland. There was a bowl of lean meat porridge, a plate of cabbage with garlic, steamed garlic prawns, and a bowl of soup with egg and meat pancake.
After Lu Sheng finished her dinner, she paced back and forth in the room. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask Nanny Yao where Chu Sihan went.
Nanny Yao explained, “Lord had already returned, but he went to the Dongfang Mansion just now. It was said that the daughter from Dongfang Mansion had just returned from her in-laws. When she returned, she was still fine. In the evening, for some reason, she started to go crazy. Old Master Dongfang suspected that someone poisoned Miss Dongfang, so he came to report the case.”
“I see.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and asked again, “May I know where the Dongfang Mansion is?”
“It’s on Minghua Street. If you want to go, I’ll get someone to bring you there.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “That would be great!”
“Then, Miss Lu, please wait a moment. I will go and call for someone for you right away.”
Nanny Yao smiled and hurried out with the dishes.
Before long, she returned with two guards.
“Miss Lu, let them lead the way for you. This way, you can take care of each other.”
Lu Sheng nodded. After thanking Nanny Yao, she left with the two guards.
The Dongfang Mansion was not far from the magistrate court. When Lu Sheng arrived, the guards did not allow her to enter. However, seeing that there were two guards standing behind her, they let her in.
Chu Sihan had just stepped into Dongfang Mansion when Lu Sheng arrived.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, “Why didn’t you rest for a while more?”
“I’ve slept enough.”
Lu Sheng rubbed her nose and asked, “Lord, have you found out the reason?”
Chu Sihan’s eyes flickered.
Although he had never seen Miss Dongfang before, from Master Dongfang’s description, he could roughly guess that she must have been possessed.
However, he could not let Lu Sheng know that he had already awakened.
Because compared to ‘Yan Han’, Lu Sheng seemed to be more willing to get close to ‘Chu Sihan’.
Hence, he shook his head slightly. “Not yet.”
“Then, bring me over to take a look. I might know.”
“Okay!”
“Lord, this is…”
Old Master Dongfang looked at Lu Sheng and asked Chu Sihan doubtfully.
Chu Sihan replied calmly, “My fiancée.”
Lu Sheng glanced at him but did not retort.
Logically speaking, she was indeed his fiancée. After all, she had already received the love token several times.
When Master Dongfang heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Lu Sheng and said respectfully, “So it’s Lord Chu’s fiancée. Please forgive me for my lack of manners!”
“Master Dongfang.”
Seeing her look over, Chu Sihan introduced her.
“Oh, Old Master Dongfang, there’s no need to be so polite!”
“Old Master, bad news. Miss broke through the ropes again!”
Just as Lu Sheng finished speaking, a servant suddenly ran over and reported anxiously.
