Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 45 - : Deng Rumeng’s Repayment



Chapter 45: Deng Rumeng’s Repayment

Some bolder people secretly rushed over to spectate after hearing the news.

However, when they saw the quiet Deng mansion being engulfed by a layer of golden light, they retreated in shock.

Ever since Zhao Wei saw Deng Rumeng’s soul, he had been in a trance. When others asked him, he did not answer and only mumbled that he was wrong.

Chu Sihan let Chu Yun lead the guards to the Zhao Mansion to search for the items. After a while, they brought back a pile of items.

In addition to gold, silver, and precious stones, there were various title deeds and famous paintings.

When they saw these people, they could not help but sigh. The Deng family had a strong foundation.

With conclusive evidence, Zhao Wei was naturally jailed.

Zhao Wei had lost his mother when he was young. His father later died from an illness, leaving him alone.

The Zhao family was initially on par with the Deng family. However, no matter how wealthy they were, it would be destroyed in the hands of someone like Zhao Wei.

On the day Zhao Wei was jailed, his concubines packed away all the valuable items in the Zhao mansion and left Huang Yang Town.

On the other hand, Lu Sheng had broken the Soul Subduing Mantra and successfully sent hundreds of the deceased’s souls in the Deng Mansion to hell.

“Taoist Nun, please follow me!”

Deng Rumeng floated in front and led the way.

Although Lu Sheng was doubtful, she followed her.

She saw Deng Rumeng enter a room in the West Wing.

Lu Sheng followed her in and realized that it was a lady’s room.

The room was decorated very neatly. However, because no one had cleaned it for half a month, a thin layer of dust had formed on the table.

“Taoist Nun, flip open the mat on my bed.”

After listening, Lu Sheng went up and flipped the mat open.

“There’s a secret compartment in the middle. Please knock on it and take out that wooden board.”

Lu Sheng followed her orders. When she took the wooden board out, she saw a vermillion wooden chest lying inside.

She took the wooden chest out and silently looked at Deng Rumeng.

Deng Rumeng smiled and said, “This is the dowry my mother bought for me. There’s a shop and a mansion. Both of them are in the South City. I’ll bring you there to take a look later. There were originally a hundred acres of fertile land. However, I brought the deed when I left and it ended up in Zhao Wei’s hands.”

When Zhao Wei was mentioned, Deng Rumeng gritted her teeth.

“The Deng family doesn’t have any other relatives, and their assets will definitely be confiscated. However, Magistrate Chu is a smart person. He should know that the county magistrate and Zhao Wei had an illicit deal. Hence, Magistrate Chu probably won’t keep those items in Huang Yang Town.”

“You trust that Magistrate Chu a lot?” Lu Sheng asked with her eyebrow raised.

Deng Rumeng smiled and nodded. “Magistrate Chu is decisive and upright. He is naturally worthy of my trust.”

Lu Sheng smiled and did not continue discussing this topic.

“Taoist Nun, I can only repay your great kindness with this small favor. I hope you will not mind!”

After saying this, Deng Rumeng even bowed respectfully to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng did not decline and placed the box into the Space Bracelet in front of her.

Deng Rumeng watched in amazement, but did not inquire further.

After leaving the house, Deng Rumeng brought Lu Sheng to visit the shop.

The shop was very close to the street. It had already been renovated and was only short of opening for business.

The mansion was right beside the Chu Mansion.

“Does anyone in the vicinity know when your father bought this then?” Lu Sheng asked nervously.

She was afraid that when she moved in, she would be accused of stealing the title deed. That would be troublesome.

Deng Rumeng smiled sweetly. “Don’t be scared, Taoist Nun. My mother secretly bought this mansion under the name of a maid. That maid has no children and is no longer around. If anyone doubts, just tell them the name on the deed and say that you are her relative.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good!”
