Chapter 194: Dongfang Mansion (2)

“Ah!”
A blood-curdling scream resounded throughout the entire Dongfang Mansion.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan looked at each other and ran out at the same time.
A woman with disheveled hair was holding a servant’s hand and biting it.
Sensing someone approaching, she jerked her head up. Her mouth was covered in blood, her eyes wide and her expression fierce.
The servant who had her hand bitten had fainted.
As Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan approached, the woman bared her teeth and pounced over.
Lu Sheng quickly hid behind the woman and grabbed her hand. She kicked her ankle and pinned her to the ground.
The woman frantically tried to struggle free, but her strength was inferior to Lu Sheng’s, so she could only howl madly.
Chu Sihan frowned.
There was no black aura on this lady, and she didn’t look like she was possessed by a ghost. If she was possessed by a ghost, she wouldn’t have thrown herself at them without a care for her life.
The only explanation was that she was either under a curse or had contracted some illness.
“Yuechu, Yuechu, I’m Father!”
Old Master Dongfang, who had rushed over, wanted to reach out to touch Dongfang Yuechu’s face with reddened eyes. However, he was so frightened by her frenzied state that he retracted his hand.
“Lord, you have to investigate!”
Old Master Dongfang suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Chu Sihan, “My daughter was clearly fine when she returned!”
“Old Master Dongfang, please rise.” Chu Sihan pulled him up and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. If Miss Dongfang is really poisoned, we will definitely find the person who poisoned her.”
“Have you asked the doctor?” Lu Sheng asked.
Old Master Dongfang sighed and nodded. “I’ve already asked him. He initially thought it was hydrophobia, but I don’t have a dog at home. When Yuechu went out at the beginning of the month, she didn’t touch a dog either. The doctor said that the symptoms were similar, but they weren’t.”
Lu Sheng knew that hydrophobia was rabies.
Judging from the symptoms, it did look like rabies.
“What else did the doctor say?” Lu Sheng asked again.
Old Master Dongfang wiped his eyes and replied, “The doctor said that she might have been poisoned, but he couldn’t tell what kind of poison it was. Today, we have even invited several famous doctors from Lin Jiang Mansion to take a look. They all said that they didn’t know what illness it was.”
Lu Sheng frowned. “She might not have been poisoned.”
Her guess was similar to Chu Sihan’s. They both felt that Dongfang Yuechu had been cursed.
In the modern world, it would be like she was under black magic.
“Not poisoned?” Old Master Dongfang frowned and said anxiously, “Since she wasn’t poisoned, why did she suddenly become like this?”
Lu Sheng said calmly, “She should have been cursed.”
“Cursed?”
Old Master Dongfang’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng did not reply. Instead, she placed her knee on Dongfang Yuechu’s shoulder, one hand on her other shoulder, and the other on her hair.
She felt around in a few places and her hand suddenly paused. Then, she pulled out a thin needle.
Other than Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, almost everyone present was shocked.
Lu Sheng expressionlessly handed the thin needle to Chu Sihan and took out a second one.
Dongfang Yue’s struggles grew weaker until she finally fainted when the third needle was extracted.
Old Master Dongfang’s body went limp. If it wasn’t for the servant’s quick reflexes, he would have already fallen to the ground.
Lu Sheng looked around and finally landed on the servant who had gone to inform Old Master Dongfang previously.
She saw her purse her lips and clench her fists.
Lu Sheng retracted her gaze indifferently and said to Chu Sihan in a low voice, “Lord, the person who cast the curse should be in the residence. Get someone to check every courtyard.”
