Chapter 235: Lu Zhou Was Left in the Lurch
Seeing that even the guards had arrived and no one was calling him up, Lu Zhou, who was waiting outside Dongfang Mansion, frowned.
“Hey, wait. Why did you go in?”
When Constable Ji, who was leading the guards, saw him, his eyes lit up. “Lord Immortal, why are you here?”
Lu Zhou: “You don’t have to care why I’m here. Tell me, why are you preparing to go in?”
“To capture people!” Constable Ji let the other guards enter first. He stayed behind and explained to Lu Zhou, “Dongfang Mansion’s Second Aunt and Butler Dongfang are suspected of murder. Lord sent someone to inform us to capture them.”
“What?”
Lu Zhou’s eyes widened.
Constable Ji misunderstood his meaning and thought that he did not dare to believe Second Aunt would do such a thing.
Constable Ji sighed softly and said, “You don’t believe it either, right? After all, Second Aunt has a kind face and she often gives alms to beggars in the suburbs. If it weren’t for the Lord’s words, I wouldn’t dare to believe it either.”
No, who cared about that?
What he cared about was that the matter had clearly been resolved, but the two rascals did not send a single message to him and just let him blow the cold wind here all night.
He was preparing to make a grand appearance with that little monk!
“These two rascals!”
“Hey, Lord Immortal, where are you going?”
Seeing Lu Zhou walk into Dongfang Mansion with gritted teeth, Constable Ji hurried after him and asked.
The guards wanted to stop Lu Zhou, but when they saw Constable Ji behind him, they retreated silently.
After Lu Zhou rushed into Dongfang Mansion, he realized that he did not know where Dongfang Yuechu’s courtyard was.
“Where’s Miss Dongfang’s courtyard?”
The Dongfang Mansion was not small. There were many paths there, and he didn’t know where they led to.
“Let me ask.”
Constable Ji hurried back to the gate and asked the guards.
After knowing the direction, he ran back and said to Lu Zhou, “Lord Immortal, follow me.”
“Okay.”
Lu Zhou replied gloomily.
Constable Ji did not know what he was angry about. He did not dare to guess his thoughts and could only lead the way silently.
When they arrived, they heard a woman crying.
“Old Master, on account that I’ve given birth to your child, forgive me this once. I won’t dare to do it again!”
Constable Ji clicked his tongue and shook his head. “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
“What’s that?”
Lu Zhou stood outside the crowd and looked in. A woman with exquisite makeup was hugging a man and crying.
“Take her away.”
With Chu Sihan’s order, the woman was pulled away by the guards and away from the man.
Lu Zhou nodded. “You’re quite bold!”
Second Aunt had thought that Old Master Dongfang would not let the officials take her away on account of their children. Unexpectedly, after seeing that she had been pulled away, Old Master Dongfang turned his back and did not look at her again.
Butler Dongfang, Nanny Zhu, Second Aunt, and the midwife were escorted to the side by the guards. Mdm Zhou wanted to pounce over and hit Second Aunt, but was pulled away by two other guards.
Dongfang Yuechu glanced at the Mdm Zhou and sighed softly. She looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Lord Chu, let her go.”
“She harmed you before. Don’t you blame her?” Chu Sihan asked faintly.
Dongfang Yuechu smiled faintly. “Since it was all a misunderstanding previously, it’s over now that the misunderstanding has been cleared.”
