Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 9: A Sharp Observation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once Chu Sihan returned home, he had heard that the girl whom he was about to marry had suddenly gone missing.

As his father was still concerned about what the National Adviser had said, he ordered his men to report the case to the magistrate office so that they could look for her in Liu Yue Village.

After Chu Sihan heard about this, he brought Chu Yun, Constable Wang, and ten other officials to Liu Yue Village.

Although he disapproved of this marriage, it was still a missing person case.

As the magistrate of the Lin Jiang Mansion, he had to come.

The moment he entered the courtyard, Chu Sihan could feel someone staring at him.

He sharply glanced toward the direction of the gaze. However, upon realizing that no one was there, he could not help but frown.

Lu Sheng looked at him in surprise.

She did not expect him to have such a sharp observation. No one noticed anything, yet he immediately knew which direction she was standing in.

“Why... Why did all of you come?”

Madam Liu was already uneasy. When she saw that the men from the magistrate court had come here, she became even more anxious.

Lu Ning was scared right from the start. When she saw them, she was so scared that she hid behind Madam Liu.

When Chu Yun saw the altar which had toppled over to the ground, his gaze became a bit suspicious.

Constable Wang bowed to Madam Liu and said, “The Chu Family said that a girl from the Lu Family has gone missing. They reported the case and told us to come here to understand what’s going on.”

“Well... We don’t know either,” Madam Liu said while trying her best to remain calm. “She was still here before dinner the other day.”

Although Chu Sihan had only been the magistrate for less than two years, he had overseen a lot of major and minor cases.

The expressions and the gazes of the culprits had some similarities.

For instance, although Madam Liu looked very calm, her eyes betrayed a hint of guilt.

“What happened at your house? Why is there an altar at the entrance?” Chu Yun asked.

Madam Liu softly sighed and said without changing her expression, “After Lu Sheng went missing, we searched the entire village for her but we couldn’t find her. So we invited a priest to take a look. We never expected him to be a fake. After we raised our suspicions about him, he flipped the table in fury.”

Lu Sheng looked at them in shock.

Madam Liu’s ability to lie without flinching was really top-notch.

“Really?”

Chu Yun believed her.

The villagers were quite superstitious, so he did not suspect much after hearing what Madam Liu said.

Constable Wang asked Madam Liu about how Lu Sheng had acted before she had gone missing, and Madam Liu answered his questions without leaving any loopholes.

“Sir, what do you think?” Constable Wang respectfully asked after leaving Lu Family’s house.

Although Chu Sihan was wearing his private clothes now, his strict aura made others wary of taking

Hearing Constable Wang’s question, he only replied indifferently, “That woman probably knows why the girl disappeared.”

“Huh?”

Constable Wang was shocked. “Are you saying that they hid the girl?”

Chu Sihan frowned. He then shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. But that woman definitely has something to do with it.”

“Why don’t we capture them first and bring them back to the office for an interrogation?” Chu Yun suggested.

Chu Sihan shook his head. “We can’t act rashly without evidence.”

Although he said that, Chu Yun strongly believed that something must be wrong with Madam Liu.

Because his lord’s suspicions had never been wrong.

After leaving the Lu Family, Constable Wang led a team to the hill at the back to look for the missing girl.

Chu Sihan and Chu Yun went to Li Zheng’s house.

Since there was some information that they could definitely not retrieve from the Lu Family, they had to ask someone else.

Once Chu Sihan and his team left, Lu Sheng saw Madam Liu collapse to the ground while patting her chest.

Although Chu Sihan was young, his gaze was as sharp and severe as a knife.

When he looked at others, it felt like he could see right through their heart.
