Chapter 211: Criticism
Second Aunt’s words were still neither too fast nor too slow. Her voice was also very gentle, and the smile at the corner of her mouth remained.
However, there was a slight change in the way she looked at her. There was an imperceptible sharpness in her eyes.
“Miss Lu is really a warm-hearted person.”
Lu Sheng sighed in her heart. It seemed like she was hated.
Doing good deeds was too difficult!
Warm-hearted?
If she couldn’t tell that she was mocking her for meddling in other people’s business, then she would have been a disciple of Lu Zhou for nothing for the past twenty years.
“Speaking of which, Miss Dongfang and I are fated.”
Lu Sheng ignored the hidden meaning in Second Aunt’s words and smiled obediently, “Last night, I happened to have an urgent matter to discuss with Lord Chu. I heard that he had come to Dongfang Mansion, so I came looking for him. Coincidentally, I have some understanding in this aspect, so I was lucky enough to save Miss Dongfang.”
Second Aunt’s eyes flickered slightly, and she once again gripped Dongfang Yuechu’s hand tightly. She said in an angry and sympathetic tone, “I wonder which immoral thing is actually using such a filthy method to deal with a young lady who is about to get married.”
Lu Sheng smiled but did not continue.
She did not believe that Second Aunt was not involved in this matter.
Perhaps Second Aunt had contributed greatly to Mdm Dongfang’s ability to contact that master.
Dongfang Yuechu’s eyes turned slightly red, as if she had recalled something. She hurriedly asked with a smile, “Aunt is back. Why didn’t I see Yuluo and Jifeng?”
“Them? They don’t know that you’re sick and are still accompanying their grandmother in the Liao Mansion. I’m afraid they won’t be back until two days later.”
At the mention of her son and daughter, Second Aunt’s expression became much gentler.
She had used the excuse of bringing her children back to her parents’ house because she had received a letter from Nanny Zhu saying that Mdm Zhou would take action in the next two days.
Unexpectedly, she received a letter from Butler Dongfang that night, saying that Dongfang Yue had been rescued by Chu Sihan’s men.
In order to confirm this, she came back early in the morning. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the mansion, she heard from Butler Dongfang that Mdm Zhou had left early in the morning.
Actually, she never met Mdm Zhou. She only said those words to Dongfang Yuechu.
She did not ask for anything else but for Mdm Zhou to kill Dongfang Yuechu as soon as possible. Then, she would expose what Mdm Zhou had done to Dongfang Yuechu and her mother.
At that time, she wouldn’t even need to do anything. She would be able to easily take the position of the first wife, and her children would become the legitimate children of the Dongfang family.
As for Dongfang Chuyue’s marriage with the Shi family in the capital, it was best to just let her daughter marry in her place.
Dongfang Luoyu and Dongfang Yuechu were around the same age. They were only a year apart.
Anyway, the Shi family wanted to marry a daughter from the Dongfang family. They did not specify which one they wanted.
As for the Zhou family, she would never have thought that Nanny Zhu, her only trusted aide, would be working for her, Liao Ruyi.
She also would not expect that the murderer of her son was not Mdm Bi but Nanny Zhu, who was by her side.
If she knew the truth, who knew how she would react?
However, Mdm Zhou could forget about knowing the truth for the rest of her life.
As for Dongfang Yuechu, she probably never thought that the aunt who treated her ‘the best’ would be the murderer who killed her mother.
Second Aunt raised her eyebrows slightly, a pleased expression on her face.
“Luoyu is already fifteen years old. When you marry into the capital, you must help her find a young master from an aristocratic family in the capital. When the time comes, she will also marry into the capital. The two of you can have a companion.”
“Alright!” Dongfang Yuechu nodded with a smile. “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Grandmother for a long time. When I marry into the capital, I’ll definitely ask Grandmother to find a good marriage for my sister.”
