Chapter 483 - Entering a New House
Chapter 483: Entering a New House
“If you can’t hear me, forget it.”
Chu Sihan sat up straight, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes to rest.
“No… No, you said just now that the Third Prince is Miss Lu’s master?”
No matter how Qi Dongjing thought about it, he did not expect the Third Prince to be Lu Sheng’s master.
It was just that…
“What capabilities can he teach Miss Lu?”
It was not that he looked down on the Third Prince, but both the Third Prince in the rumors and the Third Prince he had seen with his own eyes were indeed idiots!
Chu Sihan opened his eyes slightly and said lightly, “He’s very capable.”
“Really?”
Qi Dongjing clicked his tongue. “If that’s the case, didn’t my father make a mistake?”
The useless Third Prince was actually a powerful figure?
Anyway, Chu Sihan was definitely not lying to him. Moreover, the Third Prince in Liu Yue Village was very different from the Third Prince in the capital, except for his appearance.
“No wonder you could tolerate Miss Lu treating the Third Prince well. So they have a master-disciple relationship?”
Qi Dongjing finally understood why Chu Sihan was not jealous back then.
Chu Sihan sneered and did not speak.
No matter how much he disliked them, he had no choice. After all, they were father and daughter.
—————
Five days later.
There were a lot of happy events in the Lu family recently. Lu Ran proposed to the Hua family a few days ago.
Today was the day the Lu family moved into their new house.
When the Lu family built a new house, everyone had already seen it.
Hence, they were not too surprised to see it now.
In the courtyard, everyone helped to set up a stove and cook.
“Oh, Lu Chuan’s mother. Aren’t we going in to eat meat?”
Mdm Zheng was standing outside the Lu family’s house, salivating from the smell of meat in the courtyard. Suddenly, someone patted her.
She turned back and realized that it was Mdm Liu, who lived near her house.
She looked in frantically. Seeing that no one was looking at her, she snorted coldly. “They didn’t call us over. I’m embarrassed to go in.”
“Oh, you’re all family. Do you still need them to call you over?”
When Mdm Liu said this, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Everyone in the village knew what Lu Daming’s family had done to Lu Sheng’s family.
Hence, Lu Sheng did not call this family over, and no one said anything.
“You don’t know, right? Lu Ran killed two pigs and three sheep today. There were a few basins of meat.”
Mdm Zheng resisted the urge to gulp and snorted coldly before leaving hurriedly.
Mdm Liu stared at her back and sneered.
“Mother, what happened here?”
Mdm Liu’s daughter, He Xiaofeng, asked Mdm Liu suspiciously.
She had just returned to her mother’s house yesterday, so she did not know about Mdm Zheng’s conflict with Lu Sheng.
“You don’t know, but you should have heard about what happened in the Lu family previously, right?”
Mdm Liu explained softly, “When Mdm Zheng saw that Lu Daming was in jail, she wanted to bully Lu Sheng. She first wanted to marry Lu Sheng to that fool in their village.
“After that, she wanted to sell Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xin. Later on, she was beaten up by Lu Sheng. Ever since then, they had fallen out.”
When He Xiaofeng heard that, she could not help but sigh. “She’s too heartless. She even wanted to sell Lu Sheng’s siblings? They’re family. Why must she do that?”
“Isn’t that so?”
However, the two of them were too engrossed in their small talk to notice Lu Wei, who was standing behind them with a gloomy expression.
“Aunt He, since when did you have the right to gossip about our Lu family?”
This sudden voice shocked Mdm Liu and her daughter.
Lu Wei wanted to say more, but at that moment, a few carriages suddenly arrived.
She suddenly stopped talking and hurried to the side.
On the other side, after a few carriages stopped, a group of people alighted from them.
Among them were Chu Sihan, Qi Dongjing, and the He family.
In addition, there was Fu Xianyun’s family of three.
Seeing Chu Sihan and Qi Dongjing, Lu Wei’s eyes widened.
She had seen Chu Sihan once before at Lu Sheng’s vegetable field.
However, she did not know his real identity.
She came here today not only to freeload meat, but also to apologize on behalf of her parents and befriend Lu Sheng again.
Now that she saw Chu Sihan and Qi Dongjing, she was even more certain that she wanted to befriend Lu Sheng again.
“Greetings, Young Masters!”
Ignoring the He family and Fu Xianyun’s family, she bowed to Chu Sihan and Qi Dongjing.
Mdm Liu looked at her suspiciously and hurriedly said to her daughter in a low voice, “Do you see that young master beside him? He’s Lu Sheng’s fiancé, Lord Chu. That family of three is the county magistrate and his wife.”
As Chu Sihan was around, Mdm Liu was not too shocked to see the county magistrate around.
He Xiaofeng was shocked.
“Mother, you’re saying that Lu Sheng’s fiancé is… Lord Chu?”
Mdm Liu nodded. “That’s right. You can just bow later. Don’t have other thoughts like some people.”
When He Xiaofeng heard that, she nodded nervously.
She was scared to death when she saw these big shots. How could she have other thoughts?
“You know this girl?”
Qi Dongjing asked Chu Sihan suspiciously.
Chu Sihan shook his head. “No.”
“Oh.”
Qi Dongjing replied faintly.
Out of courtesy, Chu Sihan nodded at Lu Wei.
Lu Wei was elated and her face reddened immediately.
“Greetings… Greetings, Lord Chu!”
Mdm Liu’s and her daughter’s voices made Lu Wei’s smile freeze.
Lord Chu?
Who was Lord Chu? Could it be…
She stared at Chu Sihan in shock, her eyes filled with jealousy.
“Please go ahead!”
When they reached the door, Chu Sihan suddenly stopped and let the He family enter first.
He Hu hurriedly said, “No, no. Lord and Magistrate Fu, please go ahead!”
Seeing that he was not going in and they were not moving, Chu Sihan felt helpless.
Just as he was about to enter, a beautiful figure suddenly strode over.
His eyes lit up and he retracted his foot silently.
“Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Cousins, you’re here!”
Once Lu Sheng left, she held Mdm Zhao’s hand and greeted everyone with a smile.
The village head and Lu Ran also came over.
“Good child, you must be busy.”
Mdm Zhao patted the back of Lu Sheng’s hand and smiled.
“It’s alright!”
Lu Sheng hurriedly got Lu Ran to bring the He family in first. Then, she started greeting Fu Xianyun, Yu Linglong, and Qi Dongjing.
The ignored Chu Sihan kept his gaze on her.
“Please follow me!”
She smiled and led them in. Chu Sihan stayed at his original spot unhappily for a while before following silently.
Lu Wei stared at Chu Sihan’s back and glared at Lu Sheng.
When Mdm Liu saw this scene, she said to He Xiaofeng, “We have to be honest people who understand ourselves. Don’t think about those useless things.”
He Xiaofeng did not notice Lu Wei’s expression and nodded in agreement.
The mother-daughter pair walked in while chatting. Instantly, only Lu Wei, who was hopping mad, was left outside.
However, even so, she did not leave. Instead, she strode in with a cold expression.
Coincidentally, she bumped into Chu Sihan dragging Lu Sheng to the backyard.
She sized up Lu Sheng’s new house and her heart ached.
She had only seen such houses in the rich families in town.
Lu Wei pursed her lips and looked in the direction where the duo left. She thought for a while and followed them.
Everyone was helping in the front courtyard. Other than Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, there was no one else in the backyard.
Lu Wei hid beside the bushes and carefully observed their actions.
“Lord, what are you doing?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a faint smile.
“You greeted everyone just now, but you ignored me. I feel upset!”
Lu Sheng chuckled and pinched his face. “That’s not called ignoring. I treat you like family!”
“Oh?”
Chu Sihan pondered and raised his eyebrows. “But… Grandma and Uncle are also family. Why did you greet them?”
“They’re elders.”
“Okay!”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “But you didn’t say anything previously. I still feel very uncomfortable. What do you think we should do?”
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, “What do you think we should do?”
“Me?”
He pinched her chin and kissed her.
Lu Wei, who was hiding at the side, widened her eyes immediately. She hurriedly covered her mouth and stared at the two of them in a daze.
Chu Sihan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, but ignored her. Instead, he focused on kissing the person in his arms.
After a while, Lu Sheng pushed him away.
“What are you doing? What if someone comes here?”
Lu Sheng wiped her lower lip with the back of her hand and looked at him helplessly.
His thin lips curved upwards and he said disapprovingly, “So what? We’re getting married anyway. We’ll be husband and wife sooner or later. I just fulfilled my duty in advance.”
Lu Wei, who was hiding at the side, gritted her teeth in fury. She did not expect these two people to be so shameless.
They were actually ‘having an affair’ here in broad daylight.
“Hey, you. What are you looking at?”
As Qi Dongjing was sitting with Lu Zhou and the rest and Chu Sihan was not around, he wanted to come out for some air.
Unexpectedly, when he walked over, he saw Lu Wei squatting in the bushes.
Lu Wei stood up in shock. However, she could neither run over here nor there.
She could only stand awkwardly at her original spot.
When Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan heard Qi Dongjing’s voice, they looked back at the same time. When they saw Lu Wei, their faces were expressionless.
“I… I just…”
Seeing their gazes on her, Lu Wei did not know what excuse to find.
“Oh, you’re here too?”
Qi Dongjing strode to the two of them and looked at Lu Wei while asking Lu Sheng, “Is she from the Lu family?”
Lu Sheng said calmly, “She’s from the Lu family, but not ours.”
Qi Dongjing did not quite understand what she meant. He was about to continue asking when Chu Sihan pushed him away and left.
After the two of them walked away, Lu Sheng approached Lu Wei.
“Lu Sheng, I didn’t expect you to be so shameless!”
Afraid that Lu Sheng would make things difficult for her, Lu Wei cleverly took the initiative.
She had thought that Lu Sheng would panic if someone exposed her.
Unexpectedly, she only stared at her mockingly.
