Chapter 18: Reasonable Lack Of Interest

“Don’t you find the matter weird?” Chu Sihan thoughtfully asked.

Six or seven years had passed since Madam He’s death, and no one had ever questioned the reason for her death.

Moreover, in all these years, Madam Liu and Lu Dahua had never intended to turn themselves in. So why did Lu Dahua suddenly want to own up to his crime after Lu Sheng disappeared?

First, Lu Ning had revealed Madam Liu’s malicious intention of harming Lu Sheng. This was followed by Lu Dahua’s confession. The series of events had been too strange.

“Strange?” Chu Yun did not understand. He scratched his head and asked, “Lord, what’s so strange about it?”

Chu Sihan frowned and spoke in a low voice, “Do you remember what the Village Head said when we went to his house yesterday?”

“The Village Head’s words?” Chu Yun frowned and thought for a while. He ended up shaking his head. “Which words are you referring to?”

The Village Head had spoken quite a lot. How could he remember all of that?

“He had said that when the Lu Family experienced haunted incidences, Lu Ning had voluntarily revealed the truth of her deeds the next day.”

“You also said that Lu Dahua confessed after another haunted experience. All of these happened after the missing girl had returned.”

Chu Sihan halted here.

Chu Yun paused to think before finally understanding it. “Lord, you’re trying to say that these incidences are related to that girl?”

“I think so. Lady Lu is not simple.”

Chu Sihan stood up and walked to the window. His thin lips pursed, and his cool eyes looked at the podocarpus outside the window. He was seemingly in deep thought.

This lady who would seemingly change my fate seems to be quite different from what the Village Head told me.

“Isn’t she just a country girl? What can be different about her?”

Chu Yun felt that the Lord had overthought.

Even if Lu Sheng had a different personality, she was still a country girl raised in the countryside. How complicated could she get?

Chu Sihan did not reply, but a wish to meet this fate-changing lady had taken root in his heart.

However, the most important task at hand was to investigate the murder case at Huang Yang Town.

Chu Sihan turned back to discuss the case with Chu Yun.

However, he was interrupted by a small servant, who walked in and respectfully greeted him. “Lord, Madam and Master said a precious guest has arrived. They want you to go to the front courtyard.”

“Who’s that?” Chu Sihan asked.

The servant replied, “It’s Lady Shangguan.”

Chu Sihan frowned upon hearing the name.

Shangguan Linger had come here the previous day too, but they hadn’t met because he had rushed to the government office the moment he reached Liu Yue Village. He only reached home in the evening.

That was why the duo had yet to meet.

Chu Sihan told the servant, “Please tell Madam and Master that I am exhausted, and have turned in for the night.”

“Okay!”

Chu Yun listened at the side, keeping his mouth shut.

Shangguan Linger was Magistrate Shangguan’s daughter, and she was an attractive and talented lady living in Huang Yang Town.

On top of that, the Shangguan Family and the Chu Family had close ties. Even though both families had not brought up the topic, they had a mutual desire for a joint marriage.

However, Chu Yun felt that the Lord was not too interested in Lady Shangguan.

It only seemed right since his lord had met countless beauties in the capital ever since he was sent there.

Lady Shangguan was considered a talented woman in Huang Yang Town, but if she were to be compared with the ladies from the capital, she would pale in comparison.

Naturally, it was reasonable for the Lord to not have an interest in her.

“Lord, aren’t we going to the government office today?” Chu Yun asked.

“No, go and prepare two sets of clothes. I’m going out for a walk tonight.”

According to the county magistrate, a suspicious figure had been spotted last night in South City. However, the figure was gone by the time the officials had caught up.

Chu Sihan intended to go to the South City tonight to try his luck and see if he would encounter the figure.
