Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 459 - Sun Qi



Chapter 459: Sun Qi

“Xiao Qi, is that you? Did you come back to visit Grandma?”

The granny looked around and asked carefully.

Seeing that no one answered, she quickly turned back to Lu Sheng. “Miss, quickly help me ask why he came back.”

“Calm down, granny. I’ll help you ask now.”

Lu Sheng consoled the granny and looked at the youth again. “You heard it too. If you have anything, you can tell me. I’ll pass it on to you.”

The youth looked at the granny, who was crying agitatedly. He said sorrowfully, “I didn’t come back for money. Grandma often burned money for me. I don’t lack those things.”

He looked at Lu Sheng and continued explaining, “I came back to tell Grandma that I didn’t die from drowning. I was killed by someone.”

Killed by someone?

Lu Sheng glanced at the granny. Afraid that she would get too agitated and cause problems, she did not tell her. Instead, she continued asking, “Then why didn’t you come back a few years ago? Why did you only come back now?”

“Because my uncle wants to marry that murderer. That woman is vicious. My uncle is an honest man. If that woman marries him, not only my uncle, but the entire Sun family will suffer!”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Your uncle’s going to remarry?”

The youth nodded. “Yes, my aunt died from an illness three years ago.”

“Uncle?”

When the granny heard Lu Sheng mention these two words, her heart jumped. “What happened to Xiao Qi’s uncle?”

“Granny, don’t be anxious. I’ll tell you everything in detail later.”

“Okay, okay!”

The granny nodded and suppressed her curiosity. She stood at the side and waited quietly.

“That woman’s husband died too? Or did she never marry anyone?”

Lu Sheng continued asking the youth.

“She has never married anyone.”

At the mention of that woman, Sun Qi’s face became ferocious.

“That year, I was fishing by the river. When that woman passed by, she saw that there was no one around and pushed me into the river. There was an undercurrent at the bottom of the river. Even if I could swim, it was useless. I was swept away immediately.”

Lu Sheng was shocked. “Why would she do that? Does your family have a feud with her?”

“When she was young, she wanted to marry my uncle. However, my grandma and father did not like her because this woman is famous in the village for being prone to stealing. Every time she passed by someone’s house, she would steal anything that suited her heart. She even stole the clothes of the other sisters in the village.”

Sun Qi felt that the woman hated him because his father had stopped this marriage back then.

Lu Sheng frowned. No wonder such a person wasn’t married.

“Then why is your uncle marrying her now?”

“Because his legs aren’t good and someone needs to take care of my cousins. Although that woman was prone to stealing when she was young, she was good at doing business. Her income has been good in recent years from selling tofu.”

“In the village now, everyone only knows that she’s capable, but they have long forgotten the dirty deeds she did when she was young.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “So, you didn’t come back for revenge, but to stop her from marrying your uncle?”

Sun Qi nodded. “I’ve been dead for eight years. That woman’s murderous aura is too strong. I can’t get close to her at all. I can’t take revenge.”

“A life for a life. Don’t worry, I’ll avenge you.”

Sun Qi smiled bitterly. “How can I report this without evidence?”

Lu Sheng smiled and asked him if he had any unfulfilled wishes.

However, he shook his head. “My greatest wish is to stop that woman from marrying my uncle.”

He was just an ordinary ghost now and could not do anything.

“Miss, what did Xiao Qi say?”

Seeing Lu Sheng look at her, the granny asked hurriedly.

“Granny, is your son going to remarry recently?”

The granny was stunned and nodded. “To Huang Xiaoju from the same village. What happened to her?”

“She was the one who caused your grandson to drown to his death back then.”

“What?”

The granny’s body softened and she collapsed onto the ground.

“Grandma!”

Sun Qi wanted to support her, but his hand passed through the granny’s arm.

He frowned and stared at his hands helplessly.

Lu Sheng helped the granny up and let her sit on a chair.

“Did… Did Xiao Qi tell you personally?”

The granny looked at Lu Sheng with tears in her eyes.

Lu Sheng nodded.

“My poor grandson!”

The granny suddenly slapped her leg and wept bitterly. “I will not let this cursed Huang Xiaoju off!”

“Granny my condolences!”

Lu Sheng said faintly, “Although your grandson is no longer alive, he has always been by your side.”

The granny wept bitterly for a while before she gradually calmed down.

She sniffed and stood up. “I’ll go to the government office now. I want that vicious woman to go to jail!”

“Granny, please wait!”

Lu Sheng hurriedly pulled her back and said in a low voice, “It has been so many years. There was no witness at that time. Even if you report it to the authorities, you can’t do anything to her.”

“What should we do then?”

The granny looked helpless and sobbed. “My grandson died unjustly for so many years, but she’s still alive and kicking?”

“I’ll think of a way for you!”

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “I know the officials. When you go back, don’t act rashly and don’t let that woman notice anything.”

When the granny heard this, she nodded. “Okay. As long as I can avenge my grandson, I will listen to you.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Which village do you live in?”

“The nearby Xing Hua Village. We’re the only family in the village with the surname Sun.”

“Okay!”

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Granny, I have some matters to attend to recently. Try to delay your son’s marriage as much as possible. At least, before she goes to jail, try to delay it as much as possible. I’ll come over to discuss a plan with you after I’ve settled my own matters.”

“Okay!”

The granny held her hand and asked, “May I know where you live? What’s your surname?”

“My surname is Lu and I live in Liu Yue Village.”

The granny wiped her tears and nodded.

When Lu Sheng came out of the shop, Sun Qi was standing at the door and looking at her. “Can you really avenge me?”

“Of course!”

Lu Sheng smiled at him before turning around and leaving the village.

When Lu Sheng returned to the Lu family, it was afternoon. Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were nowhere to be seen, so they must have gone out to play again.

Lu Sheng spread the dried bamboo shoots in the courtyard before starting to cook lunch.

In the afternoon, she went to the fields to take a look. The grass was already dry and had been blown into a ball by the wind.

The villagers would come over sometimes to bring some back to start a fire.

Lu Sheng also carried some home and prepared to use them to light a fire.

“Second Sister!”

Lu Sheng had just reached the door when she saw two ‘little mud men’ running over.

“Where did you go? How did you end up like this?”

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were covered in mud from head to toe. Lu Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lu Jiang chuckled. “We went to catch loaches.”

“Where are the loaches?”

He scratched his head. “We didn’t catch any.”

“Those loaches… They’re too slippery!”

Lu Xin explained, “Brother and I caught them but they fell from our hands.”

“Enough.”

Lu Sheng sighed helplessly. “Sit down first. I’ll go and boil some water for you to bathe.”

“Second Sister, we’re hungry!”

Their stomachs growled and they stared at Lu Sheng.

“Come over and wash your hands and feet. Let’s eat first.”

Lu Sheng fetched water for the two of them to wash their hands. After scooping the dishes, she started to boil water.

When the both of them were done washing up, it was already afternoon.

Lu Jiang looked at her and said, “Second Sister, you weren’t here today. Sister Wei came to find you this morning.”

“Lu Wei?” Lu Sheng frowned. “Why did she come to find me?”

Lu Wei and the owner had always been on bad terms. Previously, because she was jealous that the owner was Duan Zhen’s fianceé, she would mock and ridicule the owner from time to time.

Perhaps because she had inherited some of the owner’s emotions, Lu Sheng could not be friendly to Lu Wei.

Lu Jiang shook his head. “I don’t know!”

“Okay, Second Sister understands. Go and learn how to write.”

After distancing themselves from Lu Ran, the two of them started going wild.

Ever since they returned to the village, they had not been home and did not practice writing anymore.

“Oh!”

The siblings agreed gloomily and returned to their rooms to practice.

Lu Sheng prepared to water the vegetables when someone walked in.

It was none other than Lu Wei, whom Lu Jiang had just mentioned.

Ever since she was reborn, she had not met Lu Wei before. This was definitely the first time.

“Watering the vegetables?”

Lu Wei walked in with a smile and scanned the courtyard.

Her face resembled Lu Daming’s. She looked alright, but her eyes resembled Mdm Zheng’s. They were a little small.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Sheng asked faintly as she watered the vegetables.

“Oh, I just came over to take a look.”

Lu Wei walked over and hesitated for a moment before asking Lu Sheng, “Has Brother Ran been back recently?”

Lu Sheng looked at her suspiciously and asked with narrowed eyes, “Why are you looking for my brother?”

“Ah…”

Lu Wei hesitated and said, “Nothing. I just didn’t see Brother Ran for a long time, so I asked casually.”

“Really?”

Lu Sheng glanced at her with a fake smile.

There was no way she would believe Lu Wei’s words.

In the past, when Lu Ran was with Sun Hu and the rest, she would always mock him.

Something must have happened for her to suddenly mention Lu Ran.

However, since she did not want to say it, Lu Sheng could not be bothered to ask.

“Since you’re watering the vegetables, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After confirming that Lu Ran wasn’t around, Lu Wei didn’t stay.

Lu Sheng watched her leave and fell into deep thought.

She remembered that when Lu Ran returned previously, Mu Yan and Yu Yang would follow him back occasionally.

Could it be that Lu Wei had taken a liking to one of them and wanted to find Lu Ran?

If that was the case, this mother-daughter pair was really similar.

From this, it could be seen that she had already given up on Duan Zhen.

Lu Sheng sneered and continued watering the vegetables.

—————

That afternoon.

Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian came over as guests. Lu Ran also brought Mu Yan and Yu Yang over to play.

Lu Sheng made some crayfish and crabs for them to eat.

She was about to serve the dishes when Lu Wei arrived.

Although Lu Sheng did not like Lu Wei, she did not say anything when she saw that there were still guests. She only asked her what was the matter.

Lu Wei was originally looking at Yu Yang, but when she saw Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian, her mouth opened.

Compared to Yu Yang and Mu Yan, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian were more stunning in their looks.

It was no wonder Lu Wei had such an expression.

Lu Wei had been in Zheng Village recently, so she had not seen Chu Sihan, Lu Zhou, and the rest.

As for Yu Yang and Mu Yan, she happened to see them when she brought the items back with her grandma the last time.

When she first met Yu Yang, she fell in love with him at first sight.

Yu Yang was less arrogant than Duan Zhen, and his looks were better. Moreover, when he smiled, he had a gentle feeling.

However, when she saw Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian today, Lu Wei was even more shocked.

One of them was unruly and noble, while the other looked carefree. Lu Wei’s heart raced when she saw them.

She used to think that Duan Zhen was the most good-looking person.

She did not expect to meet Yu Yang later on and think that he was the best. Then, she did not expect to see these two today.

Her burning gaze made Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian frown at the same time.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Sheng asked patiently.

Lu Wei finally regained her senses and smiled awkwardly. She lowered her head and scratched her temples, but her peripheral vision continued to size up Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.

Be it their clothes or aura, they were stronger than the two men beside Lu Ran.

If she could marry either one of them, she was willing even if it meant becoming a concubine.

“Cousin, what’s on the table?”

She pointed at the crayfish.

How could Lu Sheng not read her mind?

It was obvious that she wanted to stay. However, Lu Sheng would not follow her wishes.

“Cousin, if there’s nothing else, please leave first. I still have important guests to attend to.”

Lu Wei’s expression changed slightly. She was about to say something when she saw that everyone’s gaze was on her. In order to leave a good impression on them, she could only leave unwillingly.

When Lu Wei reached the door, she secretly turned her head and saw Lu Sheng already sitting beside the beautiful man with a smile on her face.

“Could that be Lord Chu?”

If that was the case, what capabilities did Lu Sheng have?

She stared at Lu Sheng’s face and realized belatedly that Lu Sheng’s face was indeed Chinese. Even though she was sitting beside the man, she did not seem like she was going to be suppressed.

“Isn’t this Lu Wei? What are you doing here?”

A passer-by asked curiously.

Lu Wei regained her senses hurriedly and glared at that person before leaving hurriedly.

The woman outside looked suspiciously at her back and left after a while.

She was used to the Lu family’s noble guests.

“The Lu family has other relatives?”

In Xuan Yue Country, although Lu was the national surname, there were a lot of them among the commoners.

“Yes, but we’re not close. They’re all greedy people.”

Lu Ran replied Lu Zhou.

Mu Yan teased Yu Yang. “When I saw her previously, she seemed to be interested in Brother Yu.”

Recently, they often met Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian at the Lu family’s restaurant. Mu Yan and Yu Yang were not as restrained as before.

“Brother Mu, don’t spout nonsense.”

Yu Yang glanced at him helplessly.

“Little niece, can we eat now?”

Shangguan Dian was not interested in other things. He was only interested in food now.

Lu Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Yes, hurry up and eat. They’ll taste fishy if they turn cold.”
