The weather was not good today. Thick clouds blocked the sun, and the weather was colder than usual, as though it would snow any time.
Lu Sheng followed the two of them into the room.
Xiao Cui had just helped Bi Yu sit down when two servant boys carried some water in and to the neighboring bathroom.
After pouring some tea for Bi Yu, Xiao Cui went to the bathroom to check the water temperature.
“Young Master, it’s time to take a bath.”
After the two servants filled the tub with water and left, Xiao Cui closed the door before speaking gently to Bi Yu.
Bi Yu raised his hand, hinting for her to help him in.
Xiao Cui shot him a coquettish glance, and her lips curled into a smile. She bent down to help him up, and the both of them entered the bathroom.
Lu Sheng watched coldly from the side. She did not have the intention to follow them in.
“Oh, Young Master! What are you doing?”
After hearing a splash, Xiao Cui’s coquettish voice rang.
“It has been too long since I last touched you. Let me dote on you today.”
“Young Master!”
After a while, Lu Sheng heard the sound of water splashing and some unbearable moans coming from the room.
Through the veil, she could see their figures intertwined.
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes and walked in with lowered eyes.
When the both of them forgotted themselves, she secretly took their clothes and left without lifting her head.
When she came out, she happened to see two teary-eyed servants walking towards her.
“Miss is too pitiful. She’s only sixteen years old. She was going to marry Young Master Bi soon. Why did she become suicidal?”
“I dreamed yesterday that Miss was murdered. Zhishu, do you think that Miss was murdered?”
Lu Sheng glanced at the two of them. Then, she tore off her Invisibility Talisman and dashed towards them.
“Oh—”
She let out a low roar and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground.
“Miss, are you alright?”
Zhi Shu held her and asked worriedly.
Zhi Hua picked up the clothes from the ground and frowned.
“Aren’t these Sister Xiaocui’s and Young Master Bi’s clothes? Miss, where did you get them from?”
Lu Sheng pretended to panic and shook her head. She waved her hands frantically. “I don’t know anything. I also didn’t hear anything. I picked up these clothes.”
Zhi Hua and Zhi Shu looked at each other, then hurriedly pulled her aside. They asked in a low voice, “Miss, tell us quickly. Where did you find these clothes?”
“I… I…”
Lu Sheng’s face was pale. She looked around frantically and bit her lip. “I’m Miner’s friend. I came here today to offer incense to her. Last night, I dreamed that she came to find me. She said that her personal servant, Xiao Cui, and Young Master Bi collaborated to kill her and throw her into the lake outside of town.”
“What?”
The faces of the two girls paled.
Lu Sheng lowered her head and said, “Just now, to verify my dream, I secretly followed Xiao Cui and Young Master Bi after they came out. I didn’t expect…”
Her face suddenly turned red, and she looked embarrassed.
“What did you not expect? Miss, tell me quickly!” Zhi Hua asked anxiously as she held her hand.
“I heard from Xiao Cui and Young Master Bi that he should just pretend for a while and didn’t have to torture himself. Later on, Young Master Bi even replied that Old Master Zhou was too smart to be fooled easily.”
“What?”
Zhi Shu’s body swayed and she almost fainted. It was Zhi Hua who caught her quickly.
“What happened after that?” Zhi Hua’s face paled, and she forced herself to remain calm as she asked Lu Sheng.
“Then, I saw them enter the room. I followed them secretly. I didn’t expect them to do… do something shameless in the bathroom. So, I stole their clothes when they weren’t looking.”
