<h4>Chapter 228: Chaos in Dongfang Mansion</h4>


    At this moment, Dongfang Mansion was already in a mess.


    Because Miss, who was fine before dinner, suddenly stopped breathing.


    When Old Master Dongfang heard of this, he hurried over without even putting on his cloak.


    Second Aunt ‘thoughtfully’ asked Butler Dongfang to find a doctor.


    When the doctor came, he only checked her pulse before shaking his head and sighing softly, telling them to prepare for her funeral.


    Old Master Dongfang was dumbfounded. His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.


    Everyone was in a hurry. They did not know whether to take care of the ‘dead’ or the living first.


    Lianer looked at Second Aunt, who helped Old Master Dongfang up with Butler Dongfang. Under her red and swollen eyes, her pupils constricted.


    Miss had already told her the truth before she took the medicine. Only then did she know that the missing Xianger was one of Second Aunt’s men. She also knew that Second Aunt was the one who wanted to harm Miss.


    Lianer pretended to pounce over and hugged Old Master Dongfang’s leg. She cried and shouted, “Old Master, you have to get someone to investigate clearly. Miss was fine just now. Why did she suddenly die?!”


    Old Master Dongfang was still groggy. When he heard her words, he quicklyposed himself and said, “Men, go quickly to the magistrate court and invite Miss Lu over.”


    Second Aunt and Butler Dongfang looked at each other, and Butler Dongfang nodded slightly.


    Lianer saw their interaction.


    Lianer thought of what Miss had said before she fainted and hurriedly added, “Miss was possessed the day before yesterday. Thankfully, Miss Lu saved her. However, this happened today. Sob—”


    Lianer wept in grief. Then, she patted her chest a few times.


    “Old Master!”


    Second Aunt wiped her tears and said in a choked voice, “When I saw Yuechu today, the color of blood had clearly returned. You have to investigate properly!”


    “Old Master, Xianger suddenly disappeared from Miss’s roomst night,” Butler Dongfang said in a low voice. “I remember seeing her speak to Nanny Zhu in Mdm’s room.”


    When Lianer heard that, she hurriedly retorted, “That’s impossible! When Mdm heard that Miss was possessed, she specially went to the temple to ask for a peace charm for Miss. How could she harm her?”


    Her words were exactly what Second Aunt wanted.


    She was still troubled over how to remind Old Master about the ‘peace charm.’ After what Lianer said, it saved her a lot of trouble.


    “That couldn’t be!”


    Second Aunt looked at Butler Dongfang and pretended to be shocked. “How could Sister harm Yuechu?”


    As she spoke, she specially nced at Old Master Dongfang. When she saw his pale face, the corner of her lips curved upwards unnoticeably.


    Everyone in the mansion knew that Mdm Zhou had a feud with Mdm Bi.


    Mdm Zhou always thought that Mdm Bi was the one who caused her child’s death. Hence, ever since her son died, she moved to a side courtyard and did note back even for festive seasons.


    Although Mdm Bi did not say it in front of Mdm Zhou, everyone understood in their hearts.


    Old Master Dongfang was so angry that he forgot his sorrow.


    He said to Butler Dongfang, “Go and get Mdm Zhou here for me.”


    Second Aunt persuaded gently, “Old Master, Sister’s health isn’t good. Don’t scare her...”


    Before Second Aunt could finish speaking, a cold voice was heard.


    “There’s no need to call for her.”


    Everyone moved aside and saw Mdm Zhou, who was wearing mourning clothes, walking over slowly with the help of Nanny Zhu.


    Nanny Zhu nced at Second Aunt and secretly retreated to the side.


    “I heard from a servant that Yuechu passed away, so I came over to take a look.”


    She nced coldly at the motionless Dongfang Yuechu, whose face was deathly pale, and spoke faintly.
