Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Matriarch Bi had quite a reputation in the capital and there were often people asking her to be a matchmaker. Also, the person she liked would definitely be someone with a good character.

If Dongfang Yuechu could live until she got married, it would be great if Matriarch Bi could help Dongfang Yuluo in her marriage.

However, as long as Dongfang Yuechu didn’t die, Dongfang Yuluo would forever remain a daughter of a concubine. How could she marry into a good family with her status?

If she wanted to marry into a good family, she could only be a concubine.

However, she was already someone else’s concubine. How could she let her daughter experience the same pain?

Although she was unhappy, she was extremely grateful on the surface. “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Yuluo!”

Lu Sheng quietly listened to their conversation and roughly understood some of Second Aunt’s information.

She had a pair of children. Her son’s age was unknown, but her daughter was already fifteen.

From this, her motive for killing could be seen.

After carefully analyzing the relationship between everyone in the Dongfang Mansion, she could roughly understand the situation.

Mdm Dongfang, also known as Mdm Zhou, was nowhere to be found.

The ex-wife, Mdm Bi, only had Dongfang Yuechu as her daughter.

If Dongfang Riming’s death was attributed to the deceased Mdm Bi, Mdm Zhou would definitely think of ways to deal with Dongfang Yuechu in order to avenge her son.

At that time, once Dongfang Yuechu died, Nanny Zhu would ‘betray’ her and reveal everything that Mdm Zhou had done. At that time, her status as the first wife would be gone.

Second Aunt didn’t need to do much to reap the benefits.

It was really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!

It was a pity that Dongfang Yuechu and Mdm Zhou were still in the dark. One of them had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, while the other had become a scapegoat. Unfortunately, the two of them were still unaware of this.

“Second Aunt, it’s almost noon.”

Xianger stepped forward and said with a smile, “Miss, you had nightmares yesterday and didn’t sleep well the entire night. You just took your medicine, so you should rest now.”

“Okay.”

Second Aunt stood up and said to Dongfang Yuechu with a smile, “You rest well first. Aunt will go back first and come over to see you again later.”

Dongfang Yuechu nodded. “Take care, Aunt!”

Xianger specially went out to send her off. Lu Sheng was sharp-eyed and immediately saw Xianger stuffing something into Second Aunt’s hands.

She turned back to look at Dongfang Yuechu and realized that she was looking down and not ahead.

Lu Sheng stood up and smiled. “Since Miss Dongfang wants to rest, I won’t stay any longer as well.”

“Miss Lu, please sit for a while more.”

Dongfang Yuechu smiled at her and said to the others, “You may all leave. I want to talk to Miss Lu.”

“Yes!”

The servants bowed before retreating.

Xianger, who had just returned after sending Second Aunt off, saw that everyone had come out and felt puzzled.

She grabbed a servant and pretended to be puzzled. “Lianer, why are you all out instead of taking care of Miss?”

Lianer didn’t think too much about it and directly replied, “Miss said that she wanted to talk to Miss Lu for a while and asked us to come out first.”

“Really?”

Xianger looked inside and smiled. “In that case, you guys can leave first. I’ll go in and take out the handkerchief that I haven’t finished embroidering.”

“Okay.”

Lianer nodded in agreement, then left with the others.

Xianger wiped the smile off her face and walked in with light footsteps.

Afraid of being discovered, she even found a relatively hidden corner to hide, preparing to eavesdrop on their conversation.

However, she did not know that Lu Sheng had already sensed it the moment she stepped in, so she secretly used a Soundproof Talisman.

Unless Xianger was standing within a meter of them, she would not be able to hear their conversation.
