Chapter 97: Zhou Mansion (2)
That servant looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old. She had an oval face, fair skin, and a pair of charming eyes. She had a naturally attractive face.
She was even prettier than Miss Zhou.
If the person in front of her was Miss Zhou’s personal servant, Xiao Cui, then she roughly understood why Bi Yu would have an affair with a servant behind Miss Zhou’s back.
“Sister Xiao Cui, go and persuade him. It’s useless even if my father tried to do so. You followed Sister previously. If you persuade him, he might listen to you.”
Zhou Ru wiped her tears, and her voice sounded a bit hoarse and broken. It was probably because she had cried too hard earlier.
She was indeed Xiao Cui.
Lu Sheng smiled mockingly. She glanced at Xiao Cui before offering some incense.
“Young Master, please go back and rest. Miss is no longer around. No matter how sad you are, she can’t come back anymore. The Zhou family still needs you!”
Xiao Cui walked over to Bi Yu and sobbed, her face full of grief.
“Miner left just like that. How could she leave without saying anything? I haven’t married her yet!”
As Bi Yu spoke, he patted his chest a few times. His face was full of tears.
Lu Sheng was dumbfounded.
The duo acted really well. If they were in the present world, they would definitely be the best actors and actresses.
If she had not known that they were the culprits, their grief would have moved her.
Unfortunately, other than her, no one knew that the two people who were crying the hardest were the culprits behind Zhou Min’s death.
Lu Sheng did not stay long after offering the incense.
The entire Zhou family was in a state of mourning, and they couldn’t care less about visitors.
She found a corner and pasted an Invisibility Talisman on herself. Then, she secretly toured the Zhou Mansion.
At last, she entered a courtyard called Yun Yu Pavilion.
If she guessed correctly, this was Bi Yu’s courtyard.
She was about to find the master bedroom when she heard footsteps behind her.
When she turned back, she saw Bi Yu and Xiao Cui, who were crying bitterly in the mourning hall just now.
Bi Yu seemed to have knelt for too long and he was limping a little. Xiao Cui had to support him.
Xiao Cui rebuked with a pained expression. “Young Master, you could have just put on an act. Why did you torture yourself like this?”
“What do you know?” Bi Yu snorted coldly. “That old man Zhou Tu is not so easily tricked. If I’m only pretending, won’t he suspect me?”
“How could that be?” Xiao Cui laughed coldly. “Zhou Min has always been a sickly child. She has lived for sixteen years and has held a medicine jar for almost ten years. If it was said that she threw herself into the lake to commit suicide so as not to burden the Zhou family, who would be suspicious?”
When Lu Sheng heard that, she finally understood.
It was no wonder that Miss Zhou’s soul was so weak. It turned out that she was sick for a long time.
How she was when she was alive would be the same as how she was after she died and became a ghost.
For example, those who died from being beheaded or had their arms or legs broken by accident would suffer the same fate as ghosts after death.
Moreover, they would return to their graves on the seventh day to find what was missing.
If they could not find it, they would loiter around and cry. Those with weak souls who passed by would either see them or be followed. Some of them might even be possessed.
Lu Sheng had seen many ghosts like them. If they couldn’t find what they were after, they wouldn’t go away.
“That’s true.”
Bi Yu nodded. “Ask someone to prepare some hot water. I want to wash away the bad luck on my body.”
“I’ve already instructed them to send it over later.”
Lu Sheng stood at the side for a while. She waited for them to leave before following them.
