Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 468 – Mdm Peng

Chapter 468: Mdm Peng

“Then the Mdm that the girl mentioned yesterday was…”

Lu Sheng had heard very clearly yesterday that the servant had mentioned the word ‘Mdm’ when speaking to Leya.

She had thought that ‘Mdm’ was Mdm Hua. She did not expect her not to be.

“That’s my stepmother, Mdm Peng.”

When Mdm Peng was mentioned, the smile on Leya’s face disappeared immediately. The disdain and disgust on her face were obvious.

To make the gentle Leya reveal such an expression, Mdm Peng was probably not an easy person to deal with.

“I see!”

Lu Sheng sighed softly. “I didn’t expect that even Aunt Hua can’t escape her fate.”

Leya’s eyes reddened. She blinked and held back her tears with a faint smile. “I came back this time to bring my mother’s ashes back for burial. Before she died, she kept saying that Yu Xi Town can’t be compared to Huang Yang Town’s Liu Yue Village.”

It turned out that the Hua family had been living in Yu Xi Town all these years after they left!

“Didn’t Sister Leya meet Brother Tao in Yu Xi Town?”

“Brother Tao Jia?”

Le Ya frowned. “You’re saying that he’s in Yu Xi Town too?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Sister-in-law Tao is from Yu Xi Town. Brother Tao has been doing business in Yu Xi Town all these years.”

“Perhaps we’re not fated.”

Le Ya sighed and said, “I’ve lived in Yu Xi Town for eight years, but I’ve never met him.”

Tao Jia was like a brother to her.

In the early years, she was the only daughter in the Hua family with five siblings. Tao Jia, on the other hand, was a person who knew how to take care of others. He was a warm existence like her biological brother.

All these years, she would always think of the people and matters of her childhood. When she thought about them, she would subconsciously smile. As she smiled, she would cry again.

Thankfully, her father kept his promise and promised her before her mother died that he would bring her back to Liu Yue Village to bury her.

Moreover, her father said that he would never leave after returning.

Before the decision to move back, Mdm Peng had always objected. However, her objections were invalid.

Although her father married Mdm Peng, Mdm Peng was still inferior to her mother in his heart.

Compared to her knowledgeable mother, Mdm Peng was just a country bumpkin.

She did not know anything and only knew how to order others around. She looked so arrogant.

“So, will you still leave after moving back?” Lu Sheng asked.

Leya shook her head. “No, We’ll stay in Huang Yang Town and Liu Yue Village in the future.”

If possible, she wanted to stay in Liu Yue Village forever!

“Look at what Leya is saying. Are you not getting married?”

Lu Sheng only regained her senses after asking this question. Leya was already eighteen years old. In this era, if she did not get married at this age, she would be mocked.

Leya was stunned for a while before she smiled awkwardly. “How would anyone in Liu Yue Village be willing to marry me?”

When she said this, she specially looked up at Lu Sheng with anticipation in her eyes.

“Sister Leya is so good. How would no one want to marry her?”

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and teased, “In that case, my brother hasn’t married yet anyway. Why don’t the two of you make do and live together?”

Leya was elated, but she pretended to be reserved. “You can’t say that. If Brother Ran has someone he likes, he might not be happy to hear that.”

Lu Sheng pouted. “I don’t know if he’s happy or not. Anyway, if he knows that you’re back, he’ll definitely be very happy.”

Leya looked up slightly. “Will he?”

“Definitely!”

Lu Sheng supported her chin and complained, “When we were young, he would always bring you to hide, not even caring about me.”

Now that she thought about it, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that Lu Ran had been so good to Leya back then.

Every time they played hide-and-seek, he would hide with Leya. Even his biological sister did not receive such treatment.

“That was when we were young. Perhaps Brother Ran has forgotten about it.”

Leya felt a little disappointed.

It had been eight years. She did not know how Lu Ran looked like now.

“Oh right, Lu Sheng, has Duan Zhen married you yet?”

Lu Sheng was already sixteen or seventeen years old. Logically speaking, she should be married.

Leya still remembered that Lu Sheng’s and Duan Zhen’s engagement was arranged by the elders.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “I’ve long had nothing to do with him.”

She didn’t seem to care about Duan Zhen at all.

Leya was a bit surprised. When Lu Sheng was young, she was very shy, but she kept stealing glances at Duan Zhen.

Even though Lu Sheng was still young back then, she could tell that Lu Sheng really liked Duan Zhen.

Why did she say that she had nothing to do with him now?

“I heard that he became a scholar. Is that why he…”

Leya frowned and probed carefully.

“No.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and shook her head. “To be precise, my father broke off this engagement personally.”

“Uncle Lu rejected it?” Leya was shocked. “Why?”

“Because the Duan family thinks that I’m not worthy of Duan Zhen.”

Lu Sheng’s tone was very casual, and Leya could not hear any sadness or reluctance in her voice.

It was as if everything was fleeting to her.

“So be it. The Duan family thinks that you’re not worthy of Duan Zhen, but I think Duan Zhen is not worthy of you.”

For some reason, Leya just did not like Duan Zhen.

Back then, Duan Zhen, Lu Ran, and Tao Jia had a good relationship and often played together.

However, Leya felt that she could not get along with Duan Zhen. She did not like Duan Zhen’s self-righteous arrogance.

Lu Sheng nodded seriously. “I also think he’s not good enough for me.”

Leya was slightly stunned before she chuckled.

She reached out to stroke Lu Sheng’s hair in front of her forehead and smiled. “I like this kind of Lu Sheng the most.”

She was optimistic and confident. Compared to when she was young, she was like a different person.

Lu Sheng shrunk her neck and chuckled.

“When… does Brother Ran usually come back?”

Leya contemplated for a while before changing the topic to Lu Ran.

Lu Sheng glanced at her and her heart moved slightly. She said meaningfully, “My brother just came back during Qingming. The next time he comes back should be a month later. If Sister Leya wants to see him, you can go to the private school to find him.”

Le Ya blushed and explained hurriedly, “I… I didn’t mean anything else. I just haven’t seen Brother Ran for many years, that’s why I wanted to see him.”

“I didn’t mean anything either!”

Lu Sheng blinked innocently and teased, “It’s been a long time since my brother saw you, Sister Leya. Perhaps he wants to see you too? It’s good that you’re there. If my brother has you in his heart, you can suffer a little and marry into our family to be my sister-in-law.”

Lu Sheng’s words made Leya blush.

She glanced at Lu Sheng and stood up. “I still have something on today, so I won’t bicker with you. I’ll deal with you another day.”

“Hey, Sister Leya, don’t go. You haven’t taken the tea yet.”

“No, I’ll take them next time.”

Leya replied before leaving in a hurry.

It was unknown if she ran away from embarrassment from Lu Sheng’s words or if there was really something else.

Lu Sheng chuckled and raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, she had an idea.

It seemed like Leya had feelings for Lu Ran. It was just that she did not know if Lu Ran had feelings for Leya.

If he did not, they could start from scratch again. If he did, it would be easier to handle things.

“Miss, Master said that he will be back in three days.”

Lan Yi knocked lightly on the door and spoke to Lu Sheng, who was giggling secretly.

“Huh? Really?”

Lu Sheng was elated. “Master really said he would be back in three days?”

Lan Yi nodded. “Yes.”

“That’s great!”

When her master returned, she could visit the Lord in the Netherworld.

Lan Yi continued, “I might have to return to the Five Peaks tonight. I’ll return with Master in three days.”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Why do you want to torture yourself all of a sudden?”

Couldn’t he just stay here and wait?

Lan Yi explained, “Bailian has woken up. He has already been brought back to the Five Peaks by Elder Sen. Tomorrow will be the day to clear Lord Chunyu’s name. I have to go back.”

“Really?”

If it was true, that would be great.

In this way, Xian Jing and Xian Ya would probably not have the chance to find trouble with her again in the future, right?

“Yes.”

After nodding, Lan Yi looked at her hesitantly.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly and hugged herself hurriedly. She looked at him warily and said, “Let me tell you, don’t ever fall for me. I already have someone in my heart!”

Lan Yi was speechless.

How could she tell that he was interested in her?

“I wanted to ask for your help when I’m back during this period.”

“What help?” Her guard was still up.

Lan Yi resisted the urge to roll his eyes. With a wave of his hand, a furry little puppy instantly appeared by his feet and circled around him, barking.

“Wow, what a cute little puppy!”

This cute little puppy had three types of colored fur: black, white, light brown. It was very cute.

Lu Sheng bent down and picked it up.

“Sob—”

The puppy struggled and whimpered in her arms. It only stopped struggling and barking when it knew that she was caressing its back.

The puppy’s fur was clean and soft. It was probably because Lan Yi had cast a Body Cleansing Technique on it.

“Did you steal this puppy?”

Lan Yi was speechless.

Was he that kind of person?

“An old man gave this to me. I gave him money.”

When he saw how cute the puppy was, he decided to raise it secretly.

The Five Peaks had a boundary, so ordinary animals could not enter. Even if he hid it, he could not bring it in.

If not for this reason, he would not have asked Lu Sheng for help.

“That’s good!”

Lu Sheng teased the cute little puppy a few times before looking up at him and saying, “Don’t worry and just go without worries. I’ll take good care of it for you.”

What did she mean by going without worries? It sounded like he was going to die.

Lan Yi complained weakly in his heart. “It’s called Three Colors.”

Lu Sheng’s hand that was hugging the cute little puppy paused and she looked at him speechlessly.

This name was really… simple.

Just as Lan Yi thought that she would complain, she suddenly said, “That’s not bad.”

“Boo hoo—”

The cute little puppy looked up and protested before lying back down.

Lan Yi coughed lightly and returned to the field to busy himself.

—————

On the other hand, after Leya returned from Lu Sheng’s place, her heart kept thumping.

“Oh, who did you meet? Why are you blushing?”

As soon as Leya entered the courtyard, she bumped into Mdm Peng, who was about to leave.

Her racing heart calmed down immediately, and her shy expression disappeared.

She said lightly, “Where is Aunt going so early in the morning?”

“You…”

Mdm Peng glared at her and snorted coldly after a long time. She knocked her aside and left with her servant angrily.

Leya sneered.

Although Mdm Peng was already the legitimate wife when she married over, Leya never called her Mother. She always called her Aunt.

Old Master Hua corrected Leya a few times, but Leya called her Aunt again in the blink of an eye.

Old Master Hua had no choice but to let her call her that.

Mdm Peng did not like Leya to begin with. When she heard Leya call her that, she became even more unhappy.

If not for the fact that she had not produced anything for the past three years, she would not have indulged Leya and let her humiliate her like this.

After leaving the house, Mdm Peng turned back angrily and glared at the door. She said coldly, “Just you wait. When I have the Hua family’s heir, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

A servant hurried to persuade her. “Mdm, calm down. Isn’t Miss always like this? Ignore her.”

“You’re right. Ignore her. That b*tch will get more smug the more I care about her.”

After taking a few deep breaths, she stepped on Xiaosi’s shoulder and boarded the carriage.

“Xiaolian, what did Xiaofen say when you went to see her today?”

After the servants boarded the carriage, Mdm Peng asked in a deep voice.

Holding the fan, Xiaolian fanned her and replied, “She said that Miss met a beautiful lady at the entrance of the village. The two of them said a few words and parted.”

“A beautiful lady?”

Mdm Peng smiled disdainfully. She stroked her temples and said sarcastically, “No matter how pretty she is, she can’t escape her status as a village girl.”

“Mdm is right.”

Xiaolian agreed with a smile, but she could not help but complain in her heart.

Before Mdm Peng said this, she did not think about her previous identity.

If she had not shamelessly pestered Old Master Hua back then, she would probably still be squatting in the mud and drying her pants.

How dare she laugh at others?

“Mdm, Old Master wants you to send some gifts to the villagers tomorrow. He said that you have to live in the same village and see them frequently in the future. He wants you to get to know them early.”

“Whoever wants to go can go. I’m not going.”

Mdm Peng snorted coldly. “They’re just a bunch of bumpkins. Are they worthy of me coming to give them gifts?”

When Xiaolian heard that, she smiled silently.

Mdm Peng continued to complain. “This Old Master. Isn’t it good to be in Yu Xi Town? Why did we have to move to this godforsaken village? If he wants to move, we could have moved to town. Why did he have to drag me here just to suffer for a dead person? Seriously.”

Seeing that Xiaolian did not reply, she glanced at her. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

When Xiaolian heard that, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Mdm has already said what I wanted to say. I can only listen.”

“You agree with me too, right?” Mdm Peng sighed softly. “Thankfully, I’m a loyal person. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow Old Master here to suffer?”

“Mdm is right!”

Xiaolian maintained her smile and replied perfunctorily.
