Chapter 214: Insatiable Desire
Nanny Zhu was one thing, but the butler…
If this Aunt dared to bribe the people around her father, then the people around her being bribed was nothing.
Dongfang Yuechu pursed her lips tightly as a sharp glint flashed across her eyes.
As an older sister, she had a clear conscience towards her Second Aunt’s children.
Dongfang Yuluo had everything she had. Dongfang Jifeng would definitely have everything that other young masters had as well.
She was the legitimate daughter and had never treated her siblings, who were born to a concubine, badly. Who would have thought…
Some people indeed had insatiable greed.
Since that was the case, then don’t blame her for becoming hostile.
“One more thing.”
Lu Sheng looked at her and said, “Mdm Dongfang had indeed cursed you. However, you should have already guessed who the mastermind behind this is.”
“Mdm Zhou has always thought that my mother was responsible for my brother’s death. Therefore, it’s reasonable for her to hate me. However, Second Aunt…”
Dongfang Yuechu paused mid-sentence and let out a bitter laugh.
She didn’t say anything, but Lu Sheng probably knew what she wanted to say.
She smiled faintly and consoled, “It really depends who you should be sincere to. As long as you feel that you have a clear conscience, I’m sure you know what to do in the future.”
Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly. “Thank you for your advice, Miss Lu. I already know what to do.”
Xianger frowned slightly. She tried her best to eavesdrop on their conversation, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hear anything.
She moved closer, but she still couldn’t hear them. This made her extremely depressed.
She paused, then leaned forward defiantly. Without thinking, she tripped over something and made a noise.
Lu Sheng and Dongfang Yuechu looked over at the same time. One of them had an indifferent gaze, as if she already knew that she was here. The other looked at her coldly.
“Miss!”
Xianger hurriedly stood up straight and pretended to be calm as she explained, “I was waiting with Lianer and the others outside and felt that it was a little boring, so I wanted to come in and take the embroidery that wasn’t completed a few days ago to go out and embroider. However, I didn’t want to alarm you. I’ve committed a sin!”
It was the first time she had seen Dongfang Yuechu’s cold gaze.
In the past, Dongfang Yuechu always had a faint smile on her face. She looked gentle and innocent.
Xianger felt a little uncertain. She felt that Dongfang Yuechu seemed to have seen through something.
Just as she was feeling apprehensive, she heard Dongfang Yuechu say in a gentle voice, “Hurry up and leave after you’ve taken your things. Don’t let them wait too long.”
Xianger suddenly raised her head. When she saw Dongfang Yuechu’s tired face, she hurriedly nodded. “Yes! Rest well, Miss. I will leave after taking the items.”
Xianger smiled at Lu Sheng and went to the side to take her things before leaving. After she closed the door, the smile on her face disappeared.
Since she had taken Second Aunt’s money, she had to work for her.
She had seen Second Aunt’s methods before. Last year, one of her servants went missing. Until now, she was still missing.
Everyone thought that that servant had run away secretly, but she was the only one who knew that the servant had been tricked by Nanny Zhu into Second Aunt’s courtyard. In the end, her eyes had been gouged out and she had been buried alive in the wilderness.
Coincidentally, she bumped into them at that moment. Nanny Zhu spotted her and dragged her to Second Aunt.
She did not hesitate to choose the latter when it came to the choice between dying and getting benefits by doing things for Second Aunt.
She was only fifteen years old and had a long future ahead of her. She did not want to die yet!
