Chapter 197: Master
Mdm Dongfang coughed a few more times. When she stopped, she said with a pale face, “My body is weak. I won’t send you off.”
“Farewell!”
The guards bowed to her and left.
Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Mdm Dongfang’s expression ‘recovered’.
She said coldly, “Dongfang Yuechu, consider yourself lucky.”
She took off her cloak and threw it aside. She walked back to the oil lamp and sat down, continuing to embroider her things.
Lu Sheng looked over and saw a fat doll wearing a dudou. The doll was almost embroidered, but the dudou was still slightly off.
“Rui Xiang, be good. That b*tch’s mother harmed you. Mother will definitely avenge you!”
Halfway through the embroidery, Mdm Dongfang suddenly caressed the chubby doll’s face and murmured absent-mindedly.
So this Mdm Dongfang really wasn’t Dongfang Yuechu’s biological mother!
From her words, it seemed that Dongfang Yuechu’s mother had caused her child’s death. Was that why she had laid a hand on Dongfang Yuechu?
Lu Sheng frowned slightly. She glanced at Mdm Dongfang and turned to leave.
She had signed a blood contract with Tan Jun. Even without Tan Jun coming back, she could find him through the blood contract.
Lu Sheng walked along the blood contract trial and soon entered the street. Then, she entered another alley.
This alley was the road to the Chu Mansion.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and continued walking forward. Finally, she stopped at a small courtyard.
“Master!”
Tan Jun appeared out of nowhere, scaring Lu Sheng so much that she thought she had been discovered.
She patted her chest and raised her eyebrows. “Where is he?”
“Inside.”
Tan Jun pointed at the courtyard and continued, “There’s an array formation in the yard. I don’t dare to enter rashly.”
Lu Sheng leaped onto the wall.
She took a look at the courtyard and couldn’t help but click her tongue. “Luckily, you were smart enough not to go in. Otherwise, your soul would have dissipated.”
There was a ghost hunting array formation in the courtyard. If the ghosts didn’t fall into it, their souls would definitely dissipate.
This was used to prevent wandering ghosts from approaching the courtyard.
After Lu Sheng put Tan Jun back into the talisman, she directly jumped into the courtyard.
This courtyard was slightly bigger than the one Mdm Dongfang lived in. However, there was also only one yard.
The lights in the house were on. Through the window paper, one could see the figure inside.
There were two people standing inside. One of them was plump and it was obvious that it was Nanny Zhu.
The other person was slim and slender. He should be the ‘master’.
“Master, what should we do next?”
Lu Sheng had just approached when she heard Nanny Zhu’s voice.
“I suffered a backlash halfway through casting the spell. I’m afraid I’ll have to rest for a few days, and won’t be able to help you for the time being.”
This ‘master’ sounded young.
Nanny Zhu said, “I heard from you that your master is very powerful. Not only can he control ghosts, but he can also control other people’s dreams. I wonder if you can seek your master’s help? As long as she dies, you don’t have to worry about the gift money.”
“I’m afraid not.” That master turned his back and sighed softly. “My master has recently took on a huge case. He was stopped and had suffered a backlash as well. He similarly needs to rest for a long time. Furthermore, he is no longer in Lin Jiang Mansion.”
“He’s not in Linjiang Mansion anymore?” Nanny Zhu was surprised. “Didn’t you say he was there yesterday?”
“He was indeed there yesterday, but now he’s being chased by a traitor. He left at noon.”
