Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 231 – The Truth About the Dongfang Mansion (Chapter 2)

Chapter 231: The Truth About the Dongfang Mansion (2)

As if thinking of something, Mdm Zhou’s eyes widened immediately. She glared at the pitiful Second Aunt who was lying against Old Master Dongfang’s thigh and did not speak for a long time.

“I… Anyway, it’s not me!”

Second Aunt also realized that she had been too anxious just now.

“You know very well whether it’s you or not.”

Xianger looked at Mdm Zhou and said, “Mdm, it’s not only Nanny Zhu. Even the butler is one of her men.”

“You b*tch, don’t spout nonsense!”

Butler Dongfang’s heart jumped and he shouted angrily.

Nanny Zhu’s eyes flickered and she started to feel uneasy.

She did not know why Xianger would suddenly rebel. Didn’t Second Aunt already promise to give her benefits?

“Old Master, Mdm, if I lie, I will die a horrible death.”

As Xianger spoke, she kowtowed again and continued, “Back then, a sister in Mdm’s room went missing. It was because she witnessed Nanny Zhu contacting Second Aunt. Nanny Zhu kidnapped her and handed her to Second Aunt. I witnessed how that sister’s eyes were being gouged out and then buried alive.”

“After that, Second Aunt and Nanny Zhu discovered me and told me to work for them. Otherwise, they would kill me.”

“When Nanny Zhu sent the peace charm to Miss yesterday, she told me to wait at the back door the day after tomorrow. Someone would send me off. However, I knew Second Aunt’s methods well, so I escaped last night.”

“Who knew that Second Aunt found out? She immediately sent the butler to kill me. Thankfully, Lord Chu and Miss Lu passed by and saved me. Everything I said is true. If Old Master and Mdm don’t believe me, you can ask Lord Chu and Miss Lu.”

Mdm Zhou and Old Master Dongfang looked at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng at the same time, only to see them nod their heads slightly.

“Old Master, don’t you know my character?” Seeing that something was amiss, Butler Dongfang quickly played the emotional card.

“Old Master, I’ve followed you for twenty years. In these twenty years, have I ever done anything to let you down? Don’t believe an outsider’s words easily!”

Old Master Dongfang felt dizzy. He took a deep breath and asked Second Aunt, “What do you want to say?”

Second Aunt’s eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, “Old Master, I have no reason to betray you!”

“No reason?”

Chu Sihan smiled coldly. “In the entire Dongfang Mansion, you are definitely the one with the greatest reason to do so.”

Second Aunt suddenly looked over and said angrily, “I have no grievances with Lord Chu. Why did Lord Chu frame me?”

“Frame you?”

Lu Sheng stood in front of Chu Sihan and smiled at her. “Of all the wives and aunts here, you have a son. Of course, you have a reason to do so.”

Second Aunt climbed up and rebuked the two of them. “Miss Lu, you have to have evidence for everything. Also, Lord Chu, as a magistrate, you’re actually lying here. Are you worthy of your status?”

“As a magistrate, I naturally know how to set an example. There’s no need for Second Aunt to remind me.”

As Chu Sihan spoke, he looked at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng nodded slightly and handed a stack of paper to Old Master Dongfang. She explained, “This is the old debt that the Lord obtained from the gambling den. Nanny Zhu’s son, Feng Zhong, owed the gambling den a huge sum of money more than ten years ago. There was a total of ten thousand taels. The boss of the gambling den, Zhao Liu, personally said that Nanny Zhu was the one who returned the money back then. How would Nanny Zhu, a servant, have so much money?”

The servants of Dongfang Mansion only received one to two taels of silver a month. The Miss and Mdms only received ten taels. People like Xianger and Nanny Zhu usually received three taels.

Excluding her usual expenses, she would only earn thirty six taels a year. She would not be able to earn ten thousand taels even in a hundred years. Moreover, Nanny Zhu was only forty years old back then.
