Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 470 – That Little Girl Is Amazing Now

Chapter 470: That Little Girl Is Amazing Now

After sizing Yun Ting and Shi Yi up, Leya looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.

Xiaofen was shocked.

Ignoring their dressing, one could tell from their aura that they were not ordinary people.

However, all three of them knew Lu Sheng. Moreover, they seemed to be very close to her. They were so close that they could tease her at will.

How did Lu Sheng, a village girl, know these people?

Instantly, Xiaofen was envious and jealous.

“I don’t care!”

Shi Yi pouted and said, “Before I return to the capital, I have to eat a meal of crayfish.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Why are you suddenly returning to the capital?”

Yun Ting said, “I’ve been out for a long time. It’s time to go back. Also, Sisi is returning to the capital. I’ll send her back too.”

“It’s understandable that Young Master Yun is sending Miss Sisi back to the capital. Young Master Shi, why are you returning as well?”

Shi Yi smiled and winked at her. “To settle an important matter in my life.”

“Oh?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Is that what I think?”

“Yes.”

Shi Yi smiled and said, “I’ve already mentioned this to Father and Mother. They asked me to bring Mingyue back.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Not bad. You’re much better than someone.”

Yun Ting was speechless.

What did he do wrong this time? Why was even Lu Sheng trying to mock him?

However…

“I’m going back to settle an important matter in my life as well.”

“Oh.”

Lu Sheng replied faintly, “No matter what, you can’t compare to Young Master Shi.”

Yun Ting was speechless.

Alright, he was indeed too ignorant in the past.

Lu Sheng chuckled. “No matter what, I’ll congratulate the both of you first.”

The two of them smiled at the same time.

“So, you came here to brag that you’ve found your other half?”

Qi Dongjing, who had been watching silently at the side for a while, finally couldn’t help but speak.

Shi Yi smiled and said, “Sorry. I forgot that you haven’t found yours yet. Please don’t blame me, Brother Qi!”

Qi Dongjing was speechless.

If he could, he really wanted to smash Shi Yi’s smug smile…

Lu Sheng glanced at Leya and hurriedly said to the three of them, “Then, go and drink your tea. I still have some matters to attend to.”

The three of them nodded. Shi Yi smiled and said, “Alright, go ahead.”

After leaving the bookstore, Leya asked Lu Sheng, “Lu Sheng, the three people just now were…”

“Them?” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “They’re my fiancé’s friends.”

“Fiancé?”

Leya was shocked. “So, you’re engaged again?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.

“Which family’s young master is he?”

From their conversation, Leya could tell that they were from the capital.

In that case, Lu Sheng’s fiancé might also be from the capital?

“The Chu family.”

“Are they from the capital too?” Leya asked curiously.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “No, he’s from Huang Yang Town. However, he’s currently working in Lin Jiang Mansion.”

There were not many surnames of Chu in Huang Yang Town. Le Ya only knew of the Chu Mansion, which produced the youngest scholar in Xuan Yue Country.

But… was that possible?

It was not that she looked down on Lu Sheng. Instead, she felt that a family like the Chu Mansion would not be interested in country bumpkins like them.

Not to mention the Chu Mansion, even the richer families valued family backgrounds.

However, if not for the Chu Mansion, how would she have known the three people just now?

One could tell that the three of them were wealthy and respectable people. They were definitely not ordinary young masters.

“Is it the Chu Mansion from our Huang Yang Town? The one that produced the top scholar?” Leya probed.

“How is that possible?”

Xiaofen sneered. “I’ve stayed in a rich family before. It’s said that the top scholar is the Emperor’s favorite. He can have all kinds of girls. How would he marry…”

“Shut up!”

Before Xiaofen could say the word ‘village girl,’ she was scolded by Leya.

“How dare you interrupt when your master is talking?” Leya said coldly. “After you return, return to Mdm Peng immediately.”

“Miss, please spare me!”

Xiaofen knelt on the ground in fear.

If she returned to Mdm Peng, she would either die or be sold again. She did not dare to think about it.

Passers-by looked over, first at Xiaofen, then at Leya. They pointed at the two of them.

“If you like to kneel on the streets, continue kneeling like this.”

Leya said calmly and pulled Lu Sheng forward.

Xiaofen pouted and teared up aggrievedly.

Lu Sheng persuaded, “Forget it. If there’s anything, you can punish her when we get back.”

It was not that she was kind, but she was afraid that Leya would be pointed at by those people and be called vicious.

Leya frowned slightly and looked down at Xiaofen, who was wiping her tears pitifully. “Aren’t you getting up?”

“Yes!”

When Xiaofen heard that, she hurriedly got up from the ground.

When the passers-by saw this, they dispersed.

“Lu Sheng, you haven’t said if it’s the Chu Mansion from our Huang Yang Town.”

Leya changed the topic again.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, that top scholar.”

Leya was shocked. “Really?”

“Yes.”

Xiaofen was dumbfounded.

How could these two families be together if their backgrounds were different?

To let a high-ranking official marry a commoner girl as his wife? How would this be appropriate?

“That’s great!”

Leya smiled and said, “Lord Chu is much better than Duan Zhen.”

Lu Sheng lifted her chin and said proudly, “Of course!”

Duan Zhen was not worthy of being compared to her Lord. In front of the Lord, Duan Zhen was just a scumbag.

“No wonder you have tribute tea. It should be from Lord Chu, right?”

This time, Le Ya finally knew why the Lu Family had tributes tea.

“You’re talking about that tea? Matriarch Fu gave it to me.”

“Matriarch Fu?” Leya was puzzled. “Who’s that?”

“She’s the Lord’s grandmother and the current Prime Minister’s mother.”

When Lu Sheng said this, she glanced at Xiaofen from the corner of her eye. Indeed, she was like a walking corpse, following behind Leya in a daze.

“Prime Minister?”

Leya was shocked. So the Prime Minister was Chu Sihan’s uncle!

It seemed like it would be amazing if Lu Sheng entered the Chu family.

It was just that…

If that was the case, she did not seem to be worthy of Lu Ran.

At the thought of this, Leya’s mood plummeted.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Lu Sheng looked at her suspiciously.

“Nothing!”

Leya forced a smile and shook her head.

Lu Sheng observed her expression and smiled faintly. “Sister Leya, I have something to ask you.”

“What?” Leya asked gloomily.

Lu Sheng glanced at Xiaofen. Leya understood.

She turned her head and said to Xiaofen, who was in a daze and thinking about something, “Go back to the carriage and wait for me.”

“Yes… Yes!”

Xiaofen glanced at Lu Sheng and regretted her words previously.

Lu Sheng was Leya’s friend and would not joke about such a thing.

Hence, there was a high chance that she was really Chu Sihan’s fiancée.

She did not know how powerful Chu Sihan was, but when she worked in that family previously, she saw the old master’s face full of admiration every time he mentioned Chu Sihan.

She had offended the future wife of the magistrate.

If Lu Sheng was a calculative person, she would lose her life in the future.

The more Xiaofen thought about it, the more scared she became. She turned back to look at Leya’s and Lu Sheng’s backs. She touched the pouch at her waist and secretly made a decision.

“Lu Sheng, what did you want to ask me?”

After Xiaofen left, Leya asked Lu Sheng suspiciously.

Lu Sheng smiled. “There’s no hurry. Let’s find a teahouse and have a seat first.”

The duo went to a big teahouse nearby and asked for a room.

Seeing that Lu Sheng still did not intend to speak after the tea was served, Leya suddenly could not read her mind.

Since Lu Sheng did not speak, she could only endure it. Just like that, the two of them drank half a pot of tea silently.

Seeing that she was almost done with her tea, Lu Sheng put down her teacup and looked at Leya.

“Sister Leya, you… actually like my brother, right?”

“Cough, cough…”

Leya choked on her tea.

Lu Sheng hurriedly gave her a handkerchief.

Leya coughed for a while before stopping.

She looked at Lu Sheng and asked in a daze, “How… did you know?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “So, you really like my brother?”

“Yes!”

Leya nodded. “I liked him since I was ten years old. After that, I kept fantasizing about marrying him one day.”

She looked at Lu Sheng and continued, “All these years, I’ve been evading others so that I can return to Liu Yue Village and his side one day.”

Perhaps, she only liked him when she was young. However, after she grew up, that liking became longing.

“Indeed!”

Lu Sheng smiled.

“That’s why you suddenly felt down just now. It’s because you felt that if I married the Lord, our Lu family’s status would increase. At that time, you wouldn’t be worthy of him, right?”

Leya looked at her in surprise and was speechless for a long time.

After some time, she asked in a daze, “Lu Sheng, how… did you know what I was thinking?”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “I guessed.”

That was a good guess…

“Well… Lu Sheng, don’t tell Brother Ran about me. If Brother Ran… already has a sweetheart, I’ll feel awkward.”

The thought that Lu Ran might already have a sweetheart made Leya’s heart ache uncontrollably.

“Don’t worry, Sister Leya. I’ll ask my brother personally if he has a sweetheart.”

Lu Sheng did not know why, but she kept feeling that even if Lu Ran had a sweetheart, that person would be Leya.

“Thank you, Lu Sheng!”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for giving me the chance to tell you what’s on my mind for the past eight years.”

She had kept this matter to herself for eight years. No one knew about it except herself.

Now that she told Lu Sheng, she suddenly felt relieved.

In the future, it did not matter if Lu Ran had a sweetheart or not.

At least she had waited and not left herself any regrets.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “My intuition tells me that you will become my sister-in-law in the future.”

“I hope so too, but…”

She looked down gloomily.

In the past, she had always thought that she would be worthy of Lu Ran.

She did not expect herself to be unworthy of Lu Ran now.

Life was indeed unpredictable.

“Our family’s not like this.”

Lu Sheng held her hand. “As long as you and my brother are in love, everything’s alright!”

“Lu Sheng, thank you!”

Leya could not help but thank her.

After the two of them left the teahouse, Lu Sheng asked Leya if she wanted to visit Lu Ran in East City. However, Le Ya rejected her.

Ever since she confessed her feelings for Lu Ran to Lu Sheng, she had been feeling uneasy.

She was afraid that he had already forgotten about her and disliked her.

“It’s getting late. Let’s… Let’s go back to the village.”

Afraid that Lu Sheng would drag her to East City, Leya walked back immediately after speaking.

Lu Sheng smiled and followed her. When the two of them returned to the carriage, they realized that there was only the coachman there.

Leya lifted the curtain and realized that there was no one inside.

She frowned slightly and asked the coachman, “Ah Fu, is Xiao Fen not back?”

The coachman nodded. “She left in a hurry after returning with the items. She said she wanted to go back and find you.”

Find her?

Leya and Lu Sheng looked at each other and seemed to have guessed something.

Leya told her to come back and wait, but she said she went to find Leya. It was obvious that she was finding an excuse to escape.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Sister Leya, do you want to look for her?”

If Leya wanted to, she could definitely find her for her.

“No need.”

Leya smiled faintly. “Since she wants to leave, let her leave. When we get back, we’ll say that it was crowded and she went missing, so we didn’t manage to find her.”

She did not like Xiaofen anyway. If she wanted to escape, let her be.

The coachman could not understand their words and felt puzzled.

It was only when Leya and Lu Sheng boarded the carriage and told him to set off that he vaguely understood the meaning behind their words.

If a servant dared to escape, she would be beaten to death if she was caught.

It was also because Miss was merciful and decided to let her live.

Leya sent Lu Sheng back to the vegetable field before returning to the Hua family.

“Oh, where did Miss go? Why are you back only now? Young Master has been looking for you the whole day. He couldn’t stop crying when he didn’t see you.”

As soon as Leya entered, Mdm Peng spoke sarcastically.

Old Master Hua looked over coldly, and she reluctantly shut up.

“Father, where’s Letong?”

When she heard that her brother was crying, Leya became a little nervous.

“He cried for a long time before falling asleep.”

Seeing the books in her hand, Old Master Hua hurriedly asked, “Where did you go?”

“I went to town to buy two books and went shopping with Lu Sheng, so I came back late.”

Leya did not look at Mdm Peng from the beginning to the end. She just lowered her eyes and answered her father’s question obediently.

“Lu Sheng?”

Old Master Hua pondered for a moment and asked softly, “Is it that girl from the Lu family? The one who used to visit our house with you?”

“Father still remembers her?” Leya was surprised.

Old Master Hua nodded. “I went to Li Zheng’s house today. I heard that he went to the Lu family, so I went to find him. I saw that the Lu family was building a house, so I asked Li Zheng. He said that the girl is amazing now.”

Leya smiled. “Yes, I didn’t expect the shyest Lu Sheng back then to be the most promising one now.”

No one expected that the young lady who bowed her head shyly when she saw someone was actually the fiancée of the youngest top scholar in Xuan Yue Country’s history.

The thought of it was unbelievable.
