Chapter 199: Servant Girl

When Lu Sheng heard this, she quickly asked again, “Then, is Miss Dongfang from the legitimate wife or the concubine?”

“The legitimate wife, of course.” Chu Sihan explained, “The current Mdm Dongfang is said to be the eldest aunt of the Dongfang family. She used to be Old Master Dongfang’s…”

“Huh?”

Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Lu Sheng was perplexed.

Chu Sihan coughed lightly and said, “Servant girl.”

“Oh.”

Wasn’t it just these words? Were they that hard to say?

Lu Sheng was puzzled.

Seeing her calm expression, Chu Sihan thought that she didn’t understand what he meant.

“That means the concubine.”

“I know.” Lu Sheng chuckled. “Lord, you don’t think I don’t know what it means to be a servant girl, right?”

Although she spent most of her time on the mountain in her previous life and had only gone down the mountain for a few years, in that era where the internet was so developed, what did she not know?

Besides, apart from cultivating and tasting delicacies in her previous life, she loved to read novels.

Hence, these were not difficult problems for her.

“I see.”

Chu Sihan pursed his lips and replied softly. From his expression, one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Lu Sheng said indifferently, “So, Dongfang Yuechu’s mother is Old Master Dongfang’s legitimate wife?”

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “After Dongfang Yuechu’s mother passed away due to a difficult labor, Mdm Dongfang was then promoted to the position of the legitimate wife.”

Lu Sheng nodded and continued asking, “Then… how is Mdm Dongfang’s relationship with Miss Dongfang?”

“I did hear about that.” Chu Sihan said, “I heard that the two of them did not have much interaction. Mdm Dongfang once had a child, but he died not long after he was born. She was sad and contracted tuberculosis. She was afraid that she would pass her illness to Old Master Dongfang, so she requested to move to a side courtyard.”

“After that, in less than half a year, Dongfang Yuechu’s mother passed away due to a difficult labor. Old Master Dongfang then promoted Mdm Dongfang to be the legitimate wife and wanted her to come back to take charge of the household chores. As for Dongfang Yuechu, she was raised by Matriarch Dongfang and the nanny.”

“It’s just that Mdm Dongfang rejected the right to be the person-in-charge of household chores because of her illness. Old Master Dongfang had no choice but to let Matriarch Dongfang be in charge.”

Chu Sihan looked at her in confusion. “Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you suspecting that Dongfang Yuechu was cursed by Mdm Dongfang?”

That was why she told him that the culprit might be in Dongfang Mansion?

However, he had asked Constable Jiang and the guards to search the entire Dongfang Mansion today, but they did not find anything suspicious.

Lu Sheng folded her hands behind her back and leaned against the carriage. She said calmly, “At first, I was just suspicious. Now, I’m certain that the person who cursed her is Mdm Dongfang.”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “So, during your disappearance, you actually went to investigate this matter?”

“That’s right.” Lu Sheng nodded. “Also, I found the person who helped Mdm Dongfang put the curse on her.”

Thus, Lu Sheng told Chu Sihan what she saw and heard when she followed Nanny Zhu.

After Chu Sihan heard this, his face darkened. “You mean that the person behind Mdm Dongfang is likely the disciple of that person who controlled the Nightmare Beast?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “That’s right. I heard from Nanny Zhu that the master’s master could not only control ghosts but also other people’s dreams. Furthermore, he suffered a backlash at noon and escaped from Linjiang Mansion.”

Too many coincidences were the truth.

She woke up at noon, and that master’s master could not only control other people’s dreams, but also suffered a backlash at noon.
