Chapter 218: Chu Sihan Flirting With Lu Sheng
Dongfang Mansion
“What did you say?”
Second Aunt suddenly stood up and glared at Butler Dongfang. “You can’t even handle a little girl and even let her escape. What use do you have?”
When Butler Dongfang saw this, he hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and explained, “It’s not that I couldn’t deal with her, but she was rescued by someone.”
“Rescued?”
Second Aunt narrowed her eyes and tried to guess who had saved Xianger.
“Forget it.”
She waved her hand and said calmly, “I don’t care about a mere servant. When the time comes, I will just push all the blame onto Mdm Zhou.”
Butler Dongfang’s eyes flickered when he heard this. He said obsequiously, “Mdm is wise!”
Second Aunt had promised him that as long as he could control all of Dongfang Mansion’s assets, she would remove his family’s slave status and buy them a hundred mu of land and two shops along the bustling road.
It was impossible for him not to agree to such a huge temptation.
It was good to follow Old Master Dongfang, but slaves were slaves. Because he and his wife were slaves, his son could not participate in the imperial examinations and would never have a chance to stand out.

Lin Jiang Mansion’s largest inn, Yun Shui Manor.
Lu Sheng poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Sihan and herself and they sat opposite each other.
On the ground, there was a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl.
“Lord, my sixth sense is very strong, isn’t it?”
Lu Sheng glanced at the person on the ground and said proudly.
“Yes.” Chu Sihan nodded dotingly. “Very strong.”
Although he did not know what sixth sense was, it should be similar to intuition.
“According to the agreement between that master and Nanny Zhu, they should take action tomorrow. I have to inform Miss Dongfang tonight.”
She only thought of this when she returned to the magistrate court.
“Then this person…”
Chu Sihan looked at Xianger and raised his eyebrows.
“She won’t wake up anytime soon, Lord. Go do your work.”
As long as she did not send that corpse in the coffin home back to the capital, she would not be able to get her one hundred thousand taels of silver. She felt uneasy.
“Okay.”
Chu Sihan got up, looked at her, and said, “I’ll go to the coffin home first. I’ll come and find you when I’m done.”
Lu Sheng nodded and said with a smile, “Yes! When I’m done with my matters, I’ll come back to wait for Lord. Lord, please come back early!”
She even posed seductively and winked at him.
Chu Sihan chuckled and stroked her black hair. He whispered into her ear, “Wait for me obediently. I’ll be back soon.”
Without any warning, this action, as well as those words that made one’s imagination run wild, immediately left Lu Sheng stunned on the spot.
A certain someone, who had successfully flirted back, smiled faintly and left in satisfaction.
Lu Sheng blinked. Then, she blinked again. After a long while, she muttered in a daze, “Am I… being teased?”
The previous Lord was clearly not like this!
Lu Sheng secretly made a decision. One day, she would make the Lord speechless.
She got up with a cold snort and carried Xianger, who was on the ground, to the couch. She took a rope from the jade bracelet and cut it into two. She tied Xianger’s limbs tightly before covering her with a blanket.
“Just lie here obediently. You’ll wake up in four hours.”
Lu Sheng lightly patted Xianger’s face twice before leaving the room and walking out of the inn.
With the Invisibility Talisman, she had no issues walking around in Dongfang Mansion. The patrolling guards walked past her without noticing anything.
Lu Sheng followed her memories in the day and went straight to Dongfang Yuechu’s courtyard. She waited until she found a secret spot before tearing off the Invisibility Talisman.
