Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 121 – Meeting Someone

Chapter 121: Meeting Someone

He Lai was amused. “Lu Sheng, stop bragging.”

She spoke as if it were true.

Putting everything else aside, even the teachers in his academy had not seen Chu Sihan before, let alone the students.

As the saying goes, what one hears may be false, but what one sees is true.

Lu Sheng did not explain.

——

When Chu Sihan returned to Huang Yang Town, his men, with the exception of Shi Yi and Yun Ting, included Young Master Jiang’s men.

This time, Young Master Jiang suddenly died at home, and the Jiang family’s master died in a fire on the same day. The Jiang family could be said to be plagued with grief now.

When the citizens of Lin Jiang Mansion heard of this, some sighed while some secretly laughed. However, no one found them pitiful.

Good and evil would eventually be rewarded. Only two members of the Jiang family had died, but countless had died in the hands of the Jiang family.

On the day Chu Sihan returned to Huang Yang Town, he immediately reprimanded the county magistrate.

The town gate was closed for more than half a month. Some citizens were trapped in the town and could not get out. Some people who wanted to buy food could not get in, causing panic.

The county magistrate, who was nearly fifty years old, felt a bit embarrassed to be scolded by a junior whom he had seen growing up.

However, he could not stand the fact that his official rank was higher than his. He could only bear a grudge in his heart.

When Shangguan Linger knew about this, she went to the Chu Mansion to apologize to Chu Sihan.

Yet, Chu Sihan did not even look at her in the eye, causing her to feel sad and aggrieved.

After Chu Yun went out to understand the situation, he returned and reported to Chu Sihan. “Lord, according to the eyewitness, the Jiang family’s master and the owner of the inn were discussing something on the second floor when the kitchen downstairs suddenly caught fire. Everyone escaped, except for a few drunkards and the Jiang family’s master.”

Chu Sihan put down the document in his hand and asked faintly, “Is there anything strange?”

“There’s something.” Chu Yun frowned and said, “Constable Wang said that there was no wind at that time, but the fire was very strong. Moreover, there were no sparks from the nearby inns. The fire seemed to be controlled and specially burned only that inn.”

Chu Sihan nodded. “Go to Liu Yue Village and invite Miss Lu over.”

The girl might know something about this strange matter.

Invite Miss Lu?

Chu Yun was curious but did not inquire further. He agreed and left.

He had just reached the town gate when he bumped into Lu Sheng, who had just entered.

“Miss Lu!”

Chu Yun reined in his horse and bowed to her with a smile.

Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened. “Chu Yun, where are you going?”

Chu Yun’s presence meant that Chu Sihan had really returned.

Chu Yun said, “Lord asked me to pick you up.”

“Pick me up?” Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “Why?”

“I’m not sure.” Chu Yun shook his head. “Lord did not tell me the reason. I’m just following orders.”

It was unknown when it started, but Chu Yun’s impression of Lu Sheng had changed.

From the initial ‘me’ to the present ‘subordinate’.

Lu Sheng nodded without thinking. “Okay, let’s go over quickly.”

“Eh —”

When He Lai heard that, he lifted the curtain and asked, “Lu Sheng, aren’t you going to send me back to the academy first?”

“This is…?”

Chu Yun looked suspiciously at He Lai.

“My uncle.”

After Lu Sheng answered, she turned around and said to He Lai in a low voice, “Uncle, I’ll bring you to see someone.”

Although He Lai did not know Chu Yun, he could tell from his clothes and aura that he was not an ordinary person.

He nodded politely at Chu Yun before asking Lu Sheng, “Who’s that?”

Lu Sheng blinked at him and smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know when we get there.”
