<h4>Chapter 232: The Truth About Dongfang Mansion (3)</h4>


    Lu Sheng looked at the ashen Nanny Zhu and smiled faintly. “Nanny Zhu, can you tell me where you got this money from?”


    “Let me speak for her.”


    A familiar voice rang and everyone in Dongfang Mansion was shocked.


    Dongfang Yuechu, who was originally ‘dead’, suddenly sat up from the bed.


    “Miss!” Lianer hurriedly climbed up from the ground and helped her off the bed.


    Second Aunt, Nanny Zhu, and the rest were dumbfounded.


    Mdm Zhou asked in shock, “You... You’re not dead?”


    “How would I dare to die before I’ve avenged my mother?” Dongfang Yuechu’s voice was as gentle as ever.


    She bowed to Old Master Dongfang. “I’ve made Father worry!”


    “It’s good that you’re alright!”


    After the great sorrow and joy, Old Master Dongfang calmed down. However, the fatigue on his face became stronger.


    Dongfang Yuechu stood up and looked at Second Aunt. “Nanny Dan said that when Mother was still alive, she felt that a lot of the ounts did not match. Back then, she even specially got someone to check them. She also checked the other tradingpanies and realized that the ounts of each tradingpany didn’t match. There were a few hundred taels missing here, a thousand taels missing there. A total of ten thousand taels was missing. After asking, she found out that Butler Dongfang used the excuse that my father needed money, so he collected some from the various tradingpanies. The few shopkeepers who still work in our Dongfang Mansion can testify to this.”


    “That’s right!” Nanny Dan nodded. “Mdm once mentioned this to the Matriarch back then. I was present at that time, and the Matriarch wanted to ask Butler Dongfang, but was stopped by Mdm. She only said that Old Master might be in a hurry to use money.”


    Old Master Dongfang looked coldly at Butler Dongfang. He stuttered for a long time and could not say anything.


    Second Aunt yed dumb and said, “Since the butler took it, what has that got to do with me?”


    Dongfang Yuechu smiled warmly. “Aunt, don’t be in a hurry. You will be mentioned soon.”


    As she spoke, she said to Old Master Dongfang, “Father, do you remember who found the midwife when my mother gave birth to me?”


    Old Master Dongfang nodded. “Your grandmother.”


    Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly and looked at an olddy. “Nanny Dan, tell me who helped my mother find the midwife back then.”


    Nanny Dan nodded and stepped forward. She said respectfully, “Old Master, back then, Matriarch wanted me to hire someone. However, I tripped over Second Aunt’s servant, Guoer, midway and identally sprained my ankle. When Second Aunt saw this, she hurriedly reprimanded Guoer and got her people to hire someone instead.”


    Nanny Dan was an olddy by Matriarch Dongfang’s side. Although Matriarch Dongfang had passed away, Nanny Dan still had a lot of say in Dongfang Mansion.


    Second Auntughed and said, “So I was wrong to hire a midwife for Sister? Nanny sprained her ankle back then. If she insisted on going, wouldn’t it be toote?”


    Anyway, all the servants and grannies in the delivery room that year had taken her money and left Lin Jiang Mansion. As long as she did not admit it, no one could stop her.


    Dongfang Yuechu nodded expressionlessly. “Yes, it’s true that you helped my mother find a midwife. However, you told that midwife that if I was a boy, she should report to my father that two lives were lost. If I was a girl, then report to him that my mother died from a difficultbor.”


    Second Aunt’s body immediately softened. She had indeed told the midwife this, but hadn’t the midwife already left Lin Jiang Mansion? How did Dongfang Yuechu know?


    Dongfang Yuechu looked at Nanny Dan and said, “Nanny Dan, please bring her in for me.”


    “Yes.”


    Nanny Dan went to the door and said indifferently, “Bring her in.”


    Everyone looked towards the door.


    After a while, two servants walked in with an old woman tied up. They pushed her in front of Second Aunt.
