Chapter 216: Gathering of Actors

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded at her with a fake smile.

This Dongfang Mansion was truly a gathering of actors and actresses. One acted better than the other regarding the role of the ‘great philanthropist’.

They could have been born in the wrong time. If they were born in the modern world, they would definitely be experienced actors.

Nanny Zhu smiled and said, “Miss, since the amulet has already been delivered, I won’t stay any longer. Mdm has just returned and is coughing again. I still have to brew medicine for her.”

Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly. “Xianger, help me send Nanny Zhu and Miss Lu off.”

“Yes!”

Xianger nodded slightly and said to Nanny Zhu and Lu Sheng, “This way please!”

“Rest well, Miss Dongfang.”

Lu Sheng spoke to Dongfang Yuechu before leaving with Nanny Zhu.

Xianger and Nanny Zhu stood where they were and watched Lu Sheng leave.

The smile on Nanny Zhu’s face disappeared instantly. She looked back and asked Xianger sternly, “If you dare tell anyone about what happened today, you’ll be buried alive.”

Xianger was so frightened that she shivered. She quickly lowered her voice and said, “Don’t worry, Nanny Zhu. I won’t reveal anything.”

“Okay.”

Nanny Zhu responded coldly. She took out a pouch and handed it to her. “Second Aunt asked me to give this to you. Take it and pack up your luggage in the next two days. There will be a carriage to take you out the day after tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Second Aunt and Nanny Zhu!”

Xianger accepted the items and bowed obediently.

Nanny Zhu snorted coldly and left.

Xianger gritted her teeth as she watched Nanny Zhu leave.

She had to leave Dongfang Mansion tonight. If she really waited until the day after tomorrow according to Nanny Zhu’s plan, she might not even have a chance to live.

She hid the heavy pouch in her hand. When she returned to the house, Lianer said that Dongfang Yuechu had already fallen asleep.

She made an excuse that she was feeling dizzy and sneaked back to her room. She packed her things and prepared to leave Dongfang Mansion tonight.

On the other side, when Lu Sheng returned from Dongfang Yuechu’s side, she coincidentally saw Butler Dongfang walking out of the main hall.

When he saw Lu Sheng, he hurriedly bowed and said, “I was just about to call for Miss Lu, but you happened to come back. Our Old Master has already prepared lunch, and Lord Chu is also sitting inside. Miss Lu, please come in!”

Lu Sheng lifted the corner of her lips slightly and nodded at him before walking into the hall.

“Miss Lu is here. Please take a seat!”

Old Master Dongfang quickly got someone to pull out a chair for her and let her sit beside Chu Sihan.

Chu Sihan waited for her to sit down before asking in a low voice, “How’s Miss Dongfang’s health?”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Rest for another two days and she should be able to recover.”

Old Master Dongfang heard this and heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Sihan nodded slightly and scooped a bowl of soup for her. “Drink some soup to warm your stomach.”

“Thank you, Lord!”

Lu Sheng took it and drank slowly.

“Old Master, Second Aunt is back. Do you want to invite her over for a meal?”

Butler Dongfang approached Old Master Dongfang and asked softly.

Because Mdm Dongfang didn’t care about the affairs of the household, and Dongfang Yuechu was a young lady, Second Aunt was pretty much the one to accompany Old Master Dongfang to host almost all of the guests in the mansion.

Lu Sheng looked up at Butler Dongfang and continued drinking her soup.

“No need. She just came back. Let her rest.”

“Yes!”

Butler Dongfang acknowledged this and retreated to the side without another word.

Old Master Dongfang smiled and said to them, “Lord Chu, Miss Lu, please enjoy your meal. If you have anything you want to eat, feel free to tell me.”

The two nodded slightly and did not speak.
