Chapter 182: Asking the Obvious

“What... what happened to me?”

Chu Sihan rubbed his temples and asked curiously.

“It’s all because of the Third Prince.” Chu Yun glanced at Lu Zhou and whispered, “I don’t know what he did to you, but you suddenly fainted.”

When Chu Sihan heard this, he looked at Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou sneered at him and said, “You already know the answer.”

The teasing smile in this lad’s eyes hadn’t disappeared yet. How could he deceive him?

It seemed that his actions had awakened him completely.

Lu Sheng sized up Chu Sihan and thought of how those ghosts were afraid of him when they saw him. Previously, she did not quite understand, but now she could finally find the reason.

Chu Yun strode forward and looked at the man on the ground. He couldn’t help but frown.

“This man is already dead, Lord.”

When Chu Sihan heard this, he slowly walked forward and sized up the corpse. He said calmly, “Inform the higher-ups that Miss Lu has already caught the murderer.”

“Me?”

Lu Sheng was stunned.

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly but didn’t say anything.

Anyway, he was only summoning souls. Chu Sihan was the one who caught the ghost. He could give this credit to whoever he wanted.

Moreover, he was not short of money now. It was good to give it to his daughter.

“Does that mean you’re going to give me the one hundred thousand taels?”

Lu Sheng widened her eyes in disbelief.

“This person has been dead for a long time. I wonder where that woman found him.”

If she had stolen it from the autopsy room, he would have to ask the State Minister for an explanation.

The people of Xuan Yue Country were quite strange. They clearly did not believe that there were supernatural beings in this world, yet they believed the State Minister’s words without a doubt.

It was a contradiction.

Lu Zhou finished complaining in his heart and yawned silently. He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back and rest first. You and Lord Chu can handle the rest.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Okay, Master. I wish you a good dream!”

Before Lu Zhou left, he glanced at Chu Sihan and snorted before leaving.

Chu Sihan smiled and looked at Lu Sheng. “If you’re tired, you can go back and rest as well. Let Chu Yun handle the rest.”

“This... isn’t too appropriate, right?”

Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Yun, who nodded slightly at her. “Miss Lu, if you’re tired, you can go back and sleep first.”

“Oh. Alright!”

She grinned at Chu Sihan and said, “Lord, I shall return first.”

Chu Sihan smiled and nodded slightly. “Okay.”

Lu Sheng looked at him suspiciously. She felt that something was wrong with Chu Sihan, but could not tell what was wrong.

She scratched her head and gave a perfunctory smile before turning to leave.

Chu Sihan raised his hand and pinched his chin. He looked at her back view thoughtfully.

“Lord, should we first send the corpse to the coffin home?” Chu Yun asked.

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “It’s getting late. Let’s send the corpse to the coffin home first, then send it to the capital tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

After Chu Yun agreed, he quickly got someone to bring the cart over, preparing to send the corpse to the nearby coffin home and temporarily place it there first.

——

Lu Sheng caught up with Lu Zhou and asked him about Chu Sihan.

“Master, since Lord is not a child of the Chu Mansion, why would he be in the Chu Mansion?”

Lu Zhou said, “He was originally born to the Yan family of Snowfall Villa, but the Villa Master of Snowfall Villa was killed before he was even born. His biological mother also died of illness shortly after giving birth to him due to her frail body. Your Uncle Yan had no choice but to send him to the Chu Mansion.”
