Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 16 – Shangguan Linger

Lu Ran became elated when he heard the news. He thought the evil duo deserved their treatment.

Lu Dahua was still thinking of the five hundred taels, so he boarded a cow carriage and went to the Chu Mansion in town on his own.

Who knew, the Chu Mansion had kept their doors shut, and the Chu Family did not intend to open them no matter how hard he knocked.

Just when he was about to leave, a well-designed and accessorized horse carriage stopped by the side.

A young and pretty lady stepped out of the carriage. As she alighted, a servant received her.

The coachman went up and knocked on the door while the servant mockingly said, “Miss, I heard the Lord came back this time to stop the marriage.”

The lady pursed her lips and smiled. “Brother Han has always been like that. He will not do what he doesn’t like, even if it has been arranged by his parents.”

The servant replied with a scornful expression, “The Lu Family should look at themselves in the mirror. How dare a toad wish to marry the swan! Miss and the Lord have grown up together. You two are childhood sweethearts, the perfect pair!”

“Enough!” Shangguan Linger shot her servant an eye, but she was full of smiles.

She had loved Chu Sihan ever since she was a young girl, and the two families also desired for the two to get together.

It was just that she did not understand why Madam Chu wanted to arrange Chu Sihan’s marriage all of a sudden, and that too to an ignorant girl, who was a farmer’s daughter.

Shangguan Linger had been trying to attain the answer from her parents, but the duo remained tight-lipped. They told her to rest early.

How could she be convinced?

She had heard Chu Sihan was back two days ago, and the girl had gone missing. After that, her worries had dissipated.

How could a country girl marry her Brother Han?

Lu Dahua saw that the shut door opened up when the coachman shouted the name of the lady.

He thought of the servant’s words, and his unsuccessful efforts to get the Chu Family to open the door. It embarrassed him.

It’s that evil b*tch’s fault. If not for her, Lu Sheng would still be here in the last two days, and the Chu Family would have met me.

Lu Dahua didn’t have any kind thoughts for his wife. He had lost five hundred taels just like that. The more he thought of it, the angrier he became. He even scrapped his initial thought of getting a litigator for Madam Liu.

As for the Lu Family, Lu Ran had just finished cooking dinner when he saw someone approaching the house.

It was Duan Zhen, Lu Sheng’s ex-fiance.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Ran asked with his eyebrow raised.

He had attended private school with Duan Zhen. However, he had stopped going to school after his mother’s death.

Back then, like Duan Zhen, he was well-praised by the teacher.

But now, Duan Zhen was the scholar the whole village wanted to grovel before.

As for him, he was the shameless rascal that the whole village disdained.

Duan Zhen looked clean and gave off a scholarly feel. He also looked gentle and cultured.

When Duan Zhen raised his head, he noticed Lu Sheng sitting at a side. She was scrutinizing him with calm eyes; gone was the shyness she possessed in the past.

And…

Why did I not realize Lu Sheng was this pretty?

“Humph.”

Lu Ran humphed, and the sound pulled Duan Zhen back into reality.

“I’m on an errand to give your family some items.”

He lightly coughed, took out a letter, and gave it to Lu Ran.

“Thank you,”

Lu Ran faintly thanked him.

Before leaving, Duan Zhen took one last glance at Lu Sheng. However, he realized she had turned away and was speaking to Lu Jiang and Lu Xin.

He gave a silent cold laugh.

So what if she’s pretty? She’s still a country girl.

His teacher had once told him that he would have a bright future with his intelligence.

Duan Zhen wanted a lady who could help him increase his social mobility, not a bimbo country girl.
