Chapter 209: Young Beauty
Lu Sheng originally felt a little ashamed, but after seeing Chu Sihan’s expression, she found it interesting.
The high and mighty highness of the Netherworld was actually so innocent that he would blush from hearing his subordinate’s teasing words.
“With such rich associations, why don’t you make up a story and sell it?”
Chu Sihan’s cold voice suddenly sounded and it instantly became quiet outside.
Lu Sheng held back her laughter as she opened the door. She could even see a few shadows that did not manage to escape hide in the bushes.
One of them escaped in a panic and even got scratched by a tree branch.
“This bunch of good-for-nothings. I haven’t seen them actively investigating the case, but their wild imaginations are really active.”
Chu Sihan complained angrily.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Lord, it’s getting late. Let’s investigate Second Aunt’s matter tomorrow morning. I’ll go back first.”
“I’ll send you off.”
Chu Sihan took the lead.
Lu Sheng did not refuse. She quickly ran forward and followed him.

The next day.
Last night at Lin Jiang Mansion, it was snowing heavily. The branches by the roadside were weighed down by the snow. When the wind blew, it made a cracking sound.
Lu Sheng woke up early in the morning. Nanny Yao said that Chu Sihan wanted her to have breakfast together in his courtyard.
As there was no news of Lu Zhou and she could not reach him even with a Communications Talisman, she had no appetite.
She only hurriedly ate a vegetable bun and half a bowl of porridge.
She was sitting at the table waiting for Chu Sihan to eat breakfast when she suddenly saw Chu Yun walk in wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
“Guard Chu.”
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Is my master back too?”
Chu Yun took off his bamboo hat and bowed slightly to Chu Sihan before explaining, “Yesterday, when the Third Prince and I arrived at the Chu Mansion, Chu Silin and that person controlling the dream realm had already left. Later, the Third Prince used some unknown method to finally catch up to them, but that person was extremely crafty and left after circling around the Lin Jiang Mansion once.”
Lu Sheng frowned. “Does that mean he didn’t catch up to them?”
Chu Yun nodded. “By the time we circled around Lin Jiang Mansion, they had already disappeared. When the Third Prince and I chased them out of the city, it was already dark, so we decided to rest for the night at an inn outside the city.”
“Where’s the Third Prince?”
Chu Sihan asked calmly.
Chu Yun said, “Third Prince told me to come back and inform you that he has continued to track that person.”
“Okay.” Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “You can go and rest first.”
“Yes!”
Chu Yun bowed to the two again, then turned and left.
After Chu Sihan finished the last mouthful of porridge, he got someone to clean up the mess before he and Lu Sheng headed to Dongfang Mansion again.
The two of them did not come here to investigate the case. Instead, they used it as an excuse to visit Dongfang Yuechu.
After all, it was Lu Sheng who saved Dongfang Yuechu. As such, when he heard them say that they were visiting her, Old Master Dongfang believed them.
He even specially asked a nanny to bring Lu Sheng in to visit her while Chu Sihan and Old Master Dongfang sat in the front courtyard to drink tea.
When Lu Sheng entered the courtyard, Dongfang Yuechu had already woken up. The servant beside her was feeding her medicine.
She looked around and finally found Xianger, who was frowning and looking down.
“Are you awake?”
The nanny who led Lu Sheng in smiled and introduced her to Dongfang Yuechu. “This is Lord Chu’s fiancée. Her surname is Lu, and she is also your savior!”
Dongfang Yuechu quickly wiped her mouth with her handkerchief and sat up, wanting to get off the bed.
Lu Sheng quickly smiled and said, “Miss Dongfang is not feeling well, so you should lie down.”
“Oh, it’s so lively today!”
A bright voice rang out. Everyone looked up and saw a beautiful young lady being supported by a nanny walk in.
