Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 95 - The Reason for Miss Zhou's Death

Chapter 95: The Reason for Miss Zhou’s Death

After Lu Sheng received the jade token, she sent him out.

Holding the paper umbrella, Lu Zhou stood at the entrance. He peered into the courtyard and said with a disdainful expression, “Don’t release these things in the future. It makes this room cold and creepy. Those who don’t know might even think that this is a haunted house.”

“Okay, Master.”

After Lu Sheng agreed, he held the umbrella and sauntered away.

Lu Sheng locked the door and turned back to look at the five ghosts trembling by the side.

An ignorant wandering soul floated next to them.

“Master, this is the girl who died by the lake.”

A male ghost walked forward and reported respectfully.

Lu Sheng remembered that his name was Tan Jun. As he had killed his stepfather, who had abused him, his mother, and his brother, for a long time, he was sentenced to death.

She accepted him only because she happened to pa.s.s by it with her master.

He was considered the first wild ghost she caught. She remembered that he was quite fierce back then.

The reason why his master could find her was probably because he had recognized him.

“Where did you find her?” Lu Sheng asked.

Tan Jun replied, “In an abandoned courtyard in the South City.”

Lu Sheng nodded and hurried to take out the Nurturing Talisman to let the five ghosts in.

Miss Zhou looked at her suspiciously. After a while, she asked, “Where are we?”

“My house.”

“Your house?” Miss Zhou frowned. “Why would I be at your house?”

“You died and became a wandering soul.”

Lu Sheng leaned against the door, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at her. “You will be brought away by the Soul Luring Messengers very soon. I asked them to bring you here to ask you if you remembered what happened before.”

“Before?”

Miss Zhou frowned and lowered her gaze, seemingly trying her best to recall what had happened.

After a long while, she suddenly lifted her head and widened her eyes. “I remember now. it’s Xiao Cui and Bi Yu.”

“Xiao Cui and Bi Yu?”

“Xiao Cui is my personal servant, and Bi Yu is my fiancé.” Miss Zhou’s initial confused expression immediately became one of resentment. “After I discovered their affair, they dragged me to a dilapidated mansion together and fed me poison.”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Do you have evidence to prove that they killed you?”

“Yes!”

Miss Zhou nodded. “Xiao Cui embroidered the pouch and sachet that Bi Yu has.”

She had embroidered the same color pouch and sachet for Bi Yu before. Even the patterns were the same. Hence, when she saw him wearing them, she always thought that they were given by her.

However, at some unknown point in time, Xiao Cui had also embroidered the exact same pouch and sachet for Bi Yu.

Before she died, she even questioned Bi Yu why he still wore her gift if he did not like her.

In the end, Bi Yu personally told her that those were Xiao Cui’s embroidery. Whatever she had given him was already burned away by Xiao Cui.

Every time she sent Bi Yu something, she would have to go through Xiao Cui. She did not expect her actions would bring them together.

Bi Yu was the Zhou family’s adopted son and also her child husband. She and Bi Yu were childhood sweethearts, and she was head over heels for him.

She had initially thought that they were in love, but it turned out to be wishful thinking on her part.

What Bi Yu liked was the Zhou family’s a.s.sets.

The Zhou family did not have a lot of children. There was only her and her sister.

Moreover, her mother pa.s.sed away not long after giving birth to her sister. Her father was a devoted man, and remained single all these years.

Now that she was gone, she did not know if her father and sister would be murdered by Bi Yu as well.
