Chapter 213: Second Aunt’s Power

Lu Sheng glanced at where Xianger was hiding and asked Dongfang Yuechu.

“I wonder what Miss Dongfang has to say to Lu Sheng?”

Dongfang Yuechu sighed softly and sat up straight. “What do you think of my Second Aunt?”

Lu Sheng was slightly stunned, but then she smiled and said, “I’m not related to Second Aunt, nor have I ever interacted with her. I don’t dare to make any comments.”

“That’s true.”

Dongfang Yuechu leaned back on her pillow, her face deathly pale.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. She had a feeling that Dongfang Yuechu was not as innocent as she had imagined.

“Where did Miss Lu come from?”

Dongfang Yuechu was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice.

Although Lu Sheng did not know why she asked her this, she still answered her.

“I’m from Liu Yue Village, Huang Yang Town.”

Dongfang Yuechu was surprised. “You’re not from the capital?”

Hearing Lu Sheng’s accent, she thought that she was from some aristocratic family in the capital.

“No.”

Lu Sheng shook her head slightly.

Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly. “That’s great!”

That’s great?

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly. “Why do you say that, Miss Dongfang?”

“Those people weren’t so bold when Grandmother was still alive.”

Dongfang Yuechu raised her head and looked for a comfortable position before leaning back. “Two years ago, after Grandmother passed away and the power of the family fell into my hands, those people began to plot against me.”

Lu Sheng did not speak. She just sat there and listened quietly.

Dongfang Yuechu smiled wryly and looked at her. “I used to think that they did this because they were afraid that I would continue to stay in Dongfang Mansion and steal their benefits. They would be alright after I got married. But now, it seems that this is not the case.”

“That Second Aunt of mine appears to be gentle and kind, but in reality, she is constantly playing tricks behind my back. She even extended her hand to the people beside me. Also, my mother, who stays in the side courtyard all year round, appears to be aloof from worldly affairs, but in reality, she is not.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. So, Dongfang Yuechu already knew that.

She asked with a faint smile, “Miss Dongfang, why are you telling me this? Aren’t you afraid that I’m in cahoots with one of them?”

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should be wary of others. Did this lady really believe her or was she too naive?

“Impossible!”

Dongfang Yuechu smiled faintly. “Miss Lu is one of Lord Chu’s men. Lord Chu is an impartial person. How can the person he likes be an ordinary person?”

Lu Sheng laughed.

Strangely enough, she realized that she loved hearing people praise Chu Sihan.

“Since Miss Dongfang has already made it clear, then there are some things that Lu Sheng won’t hide from you.”

Previously, she had wanted to find an opportunity to let Dongfang Yuechu take a good look at her Second Aunt’s face. But now, it seemed like there was no need to wait for a good opportunity.

“Actually, Nanny Zhu and Xianger, the servant beside you, as well as your butler, are all Second Aunt’s people.”

Dongfang Yuechu sat up straight and asked in surprise, “What? Miss Lu, you’re saying that Nanny Zhu and the butler are Second Aunt’s people?”

She had only suspected Xianger last night because she was her personal servant. She was someone who followed her around all the time.

She had three thin needles stuck in her head. Xianger was the only one who had the chance to do it.

However, she had never thought of Nanny Zhu and the butler.

After all, one of them was a trusted aide of Mdm Zhou while the other was a trusted aide of her father.

If the news brought by Lu Sheng was true, then wouldn’t Second Aunt’s power have already infiltrated the entire Dongfang Mansion?

This was too scary!
