Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Upon hearing her son’s name, Mdm Zhou immediately regained her senses and roared, “My son didn’t die from an illness. He was strangled to death!”

The magistrate had only investigated half of the case back then, but there were no leads after that.

This was also the reason why Mdm Zhou suspected that Mdm Bi killed her son. She felt that the Bi family must have bribed the magistrate to give up on investigating this case.

Lu Sheng said calmly, “The person who strangled your son back then was not the ex-wife, but Nanny Zhu, who was by your side.”

Seeing that things had come to this, Nanny Zhu stopped pretending. She nodded helplessly. “Back then, my son stole the restaurant’s money and used it to gamble at the gambling den. He even owed ten thousand taels. For some reason, Second Aunt found out about this. Ten thousand taels! I couldn’t take out so much money even if I tried my best. Mdm, I’ve let you down!”

Her husband died young and they only had one son. However, Mdm Zhou was still young back then. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and could still give birth in the future.

However, she did not expect that after Dongfang Riming died, Mdm Zhou would hate Mdm Bi and Old Master Dongfang.

At the beginning, she was very uneasy and even felt guilty.

However, after taking a lot of benefits from Second Aunt all these years, her original guilt was gone, and her last shred of conscience was extinguished because of those benefits.

Mdm Zhou was at first stunned. Then, as if she had gone crazy, she screamed and pounced on Nanny Zhu.

“I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you! Return my Minger to me!”

Mdm Zhou tugged Nanny Zhu’s hair. Her fingernails scratched her wrinkled face, and she looked a bit crazy.

No one stopped her and they watched silently.

Old Master Dongfang closed his eyes and regretted his actions.

Back then, Mdm Bi was pregnant and Mdm Zhou had just given birth. However, he was at the prime of his life and accidentally met the beautiful Second Aunt on the streets. Ever since then, he had been thinking about her day and night and had spent a lot of effort to bring her into the mansion.

As she could not be his first wife, he doted on her exceptionally. Later on, he treated her children like his own children.

He did not expect Second Aunt, who seemed gentle and kind, to have such a vicious heart.

She had schemed for more than ten years and was about to get what she wanted. However, she did not expect to be exposed today.

The usually dignified and elegant Second Aunt could not care about anything else at this moment. She knelt and crawled back to Old Master Dongfang. With tears streaming down her face, she said, “Old Master. Old Master, I was wrong. I just love you too much and didn’t want other women to share your love. That’s why I was obsessed for a moment. Please forgive me this once on account of how I’ve served you with all my heart for so many years!”

Old Master Dongfang kicked her away. “How dare you quibble now?”

If she only wanted to win his favor, why would she have schemed for so many years?

“Haven’t I doted on you, Luoyu, and Jifeng enough all these years? You’re not fighting for favor here. You’re scheming how to pocket my Dongfang Mansion’s assets.”

Old Master Dongfang was so angry that his face turned red and green. He pointed at Second Aunt and looked like he was about to suffocate.

“Old Master, calm down. Don’t ruin yourself for such a person.” Nanny Dan hurried forward to persuade him.

She was one of the Matriarch’s men and also Old Master Dongfang’s nanny. She could not bear to see him like this.

Dongfang Yuechu also walked forward and said, “Yes, Father. You have to be well. After all, you’re my only relative!”

After speaking, she looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Lord Chu, I’ll have to trouble you for the rest.”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly.
