After all, Mdm Zhou was just a chess piece for Second Aunt.
Chu Sihan looked at the two guards and said, “Let her go.”
The moment the guards released their grip, two servants hurried forward to restrain her.
Dongfang Yuechu said indifferently, “Send her back and take good care of her.”
“Yes!”
The two elderly women agreed and brought her away.
Chu Sihan also asked the guards to bring Second Aunt and the rest back to the government office. Nanny Dan also dispersed the onlookers.
Instantly, only a few people were left in the huge room.
Lu Sheng walked forward and pointed at Xianger. “What about her?”
Dongfang Yuechu looked away indifferently.
Xianger lowered her head and kept kowtowing. “Miss, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Dongfang Yuechu helped her up from the ground and wiped her tears. She said calmly, “Xianger, you followed me since you were six years old. When I was sick, you were the one who stayed by my bed and took care of me day and night. It’s human nature to be afraid of death. I don’t blame you.”
“Miss!”
Xianger looked up at her in surprise and disbelief.
Dongfang Yuechu smiled faintly. She turned to Lianer, who understood and passed a pouch to Dongfang Yuechu. “Miss.”
After Dongfang Yuechu received it, she placed the pouch into Xianger’s hands. “This is the pouch you embroidered for me when you first learned how to be a servant. Inside is the deed for yourself. Take it as repayment for all the meticulous care you’ve given me over the years. From today onwards, our relationship as master and servant has ended.”
Xianger received the pouch and nodded with pursed lips. Tears flowed down her cheeks.
“I have a lot of matters to attend to at my mansion now, so I won’t send you off. Lianer, as sisters, send her off for me.”
Dongfang Yuechu returned to Old Master Dongfang’s side and did not look at Xianger again.
Lianer nodded slightly and looked at Xianger. She said with a complicated expression, “Sister Xianger, let’s go.”
Chu Sihan ignored Lu Zhou and looked at Constable Ji. “Constable Ji, send them to the city gate.”
“Yes!” Constable Ji gestured at the two of them. “Please.”
The duo nodded slightly and left after him.
“You are… the Third Prince?”
Old Master Dongfang rubbed his temples exhaustedly. He turned around and was about to speak to Chu Sihan when he accidentally saw Lu Zhou, who was standing silently with a gloomy face. His expression was a bit shocked.
Dongfang Yuechu and Nanny Dan also looked at Lu Zhou in surprise.
Lu Zhou coughed lightly and placed his hands behind his back. He said lightly, “It’s me.”
“I didn’t know of your arrival, Third Prince. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier!”
Old Master Dongfang stepped forward and bowed. Dongfang Yuechu and Nanny Dan also bowed hurriedly.
“No need for formalities.”
Lu Zhou waved his hand and looked at Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan expressionlessly.
“Uh…”
Old Master Dongfang looked at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng and hurriedly said, “Since the Third Prince has something to discuss with Lord Chu, I won’t keep him here anymore.”
The two of them nodded slightly. Old Master Dongfang and Dongfang Yuechu personally sent the three of them out of the mansion. They only returned to continue handling the trivial matters in the mansion after watching them leave.
“Master, he’s still unconscious?”
After getting on the carriage, Lu Sheng glanced at the monk lying on the carriage and asked with a smile.
“Don’t play tricks.” Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “I was promised to be the last one to appear, but no one came to inform me when the matter was over. If my cultivation level wasn’t high, I would have frozen to death.”
“I forgot about it.”
Lu Sheng said guiltily, “We didn’t expect Miss Dongfang to have a backup plan. Lord, don’t you think so?”
She poked Chu Sihan’s arm lightly.
“Yes.”
Chu Sihan replied softly.
Lu Sheng originally thought that she could help by bringing the monk here, but she had no use for him.
