Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 495 - Returning Home



Chapter 495: Returning Home

Her tone was faint, and she was half-smiling. Her words made Lu Zhou shiver.

He kept feeling that his daughter might have already discovered something, but he was not too sure.

“Cough—”

Lu Zhou coughed and nodded in agreement. “Disciple is right. I’ve always raised you as my daughter.”

Perhaps it was his imagination, but after he finished speaking, he seemed to have heard Lu Sheng snort softly.

However, when he looked over, he saw her smiling at him, seemingly very happy.

The King of Hades asked someone to prepare a table of dishes and wine. The group sat together and ate and drank.

“Master, are Xian Jing and Xian Ya still missing?” Lu Sheng asked softly.

Recently, she often felt dizzy. Some intermittent images flashed across her mind, but she could not see them clearly.

However, the dream this morning connected those fragmented scenes together.

She had never interned since she was young. This proved that the dreams she had were not what she had experienced in the past. Perhaps, they had never happened.

She had never experienced such symptoms before.

“I heard from Brother Bailian that he saw them once in Yong Fu Town, but he lost them later.”

Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “Don’t worry about this. Your grandmaster has already gotten people from the Five Peaks to stand guard.”

Lu Sheng nodded.

Everything seemed exceptionally calm during this period of time.

However, this calmness made her feel like a storm was brewing.

“Why did you suddenly ask this?”

Lu Zhou placed his chopsticks on the bowl and asked her suspiciously.

“I was just asking casually.”

Lu Sheng smiled and gave him a piece of braised duck. “Come, Master, eat more.”

“I want one too.”

Chu Sihan reached out his bowl silently.

“Okay, you eat too.”

Lu Sheng smiled and gave him a piece.

Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “Rascal, you’re even more petty than a grain of sand.”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows at him proudly and did not say anything.

Lu Ying and the King of Hades looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Shangguan Dian did not care so much and ate the dishes he liked silently.

After the banquet ended, Chu Sihan brought Lu Sheng back to the Chu Mansion, while the rest went to Yang Cheng Mansion.

There had been no movement here. It seemed like Xian Jing, Xian Ya, and the rest would not find them for now.

Hence, Lu Zhou and the rest planned to meet Sect Master Kong and the rest at Yang Cheng Mansion.

Perhaps because he had left the Chu Mansion for more than ten years, Chu Siyun was wary of almost everyone except Chu Sihan.

Especially Mdm Chu. The moment she arrived, Chu Siyun locked himself in his room.

He was unwilling to come out even when Matriarch Chu and Chu Hongzhong persuaded him.

In the end, Chu Hongzhong had no choice but to let Chu Yuan invite Chu Sihan over.

Chu Yuan went to Chu Sihan’s courtyard but heard that he was not there.

He had just reached the study room when Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng returned from Snowfall Villa.

Chu Yuan was about to knock on the study room’s door when it was pulled open.

Chu Sihan was stunned and asked softly, “Uncle Yuan, what’s the matter?”

“It’s like this. In the afternoon, Mdm Chu wanted to visit Third Young Master. He seemed to be shocked and didn’t even eat. He even locked himself in his room and was unwilling to open the door.”

Chu Yuan sighed softly. “Old Master really had no choice, so he asked me to invite Lord over.”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly but nodded. “I’ll go over now.”

“Lord, Young Madam, please!”

Chu Yuan let the two of them walk in front while he followed behind.

Lu Sheng did not say anything and let Chu Sihan pull her forward.

When they arrived, Mdm Chu was secretly wiping her tears. Matriarch Chu’s expression was very ugly, and her gaze at Mdm Chu was stern.

Chu Hongzhong and Chu Hongqing stood outside the door, their expressions anxious.

“Father.”

Chu Sihan went forward and shouted.

“Han Er, you came at the right time!”

Chu Hongzhong hurried forward and pulled him to the door. “Quick, persuade your brother. His body is still weak. He hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for the whole day. What if something happens again?”

Chu Siyun was his only bloodline now. If anything happened, what should he do?

“Father, calm down.”

Chu Sihan said lightly before knocking on the door. He said in a low voice, “Siyun, it’s me.”

He only said four words before the door opened.

“Brother, you’re back!”

Chu Siyun looked at him happily. However, when he saw the people behind him, his smile faded immediately.

Chu Sihan walked past him and entered the room. He said lightly, “Come in. I have something to say to you.”

Chu Siyun looked at the group of people standing outside before following him.

Lu Sheng did not follow Chu Sihan. Instead, she stood beside Matriarch Chu and Mdm Chu.

Mdm Chu was still crying softly, but she had no intention of persuading her.

She knew very well that Mdm Chu did not like her.

Lu Sheng usually disdained doing thankless things.

In the room, Chu Sihan walked to the coffee table and sat down. Then, he gestured for Chu Siyun to sit too.

Outside the door, although Chu Hongzhong and Chu Hongqing were curious about what Chu Sihan wanted to say to Chu Siyun, they were afraid that they would scare Chu Siyun if they entered, so they could only wait outside the door.

“Brother, what do you want to say to me?”

After Chu Siyun sat down, he asked softly.

Chu Sihan looked at him and only said lightly after a while, “This is your home. No matter how bad that person is, she’s still your mother. You have to get used to their existence.”

Chu Siyun lowered his head and did not speak.

He had stayed in a small courtyard in the Netherworld for more than ten years. Other than him, there was almost no one inside.

Other than Chu Sihan, the King of Hades and Lu Ying would visit him occasionally.

Hence, after he came out, he could only accept these three people.

“You are the real son of the Chu Mansion. In the future, you will be in charge of everything in this family. Don’t let me down.”

Almost all the knowledge he had gained in the Netherworld was related to business.

Chu Siyun’s personality was too innocent and he was not suitable for the career path. Hence, Chu Sihan could only let him walk the business path.

“I… I understand. I won’t let Brother down!”

Chu Sihan’s expressionless face and stern words made Chu Siyun fearful.

“Have your lunch first. When I return with your sister-in-law in a few days, I’ll get Father to organize a banquet. At that time, I’ll get Father to release the news of your return.”

Chu Sihan stood up and said lightly, “Prepare yourself for the next few days.”

“Okay!” Chu Siyun nodded blankly.

Chu Sihan strode out and said to Chu Hongzhong, “Ask someone to heat up the dishes before sending them to him.”

Upon hearing that Chu Siyun was finally willing to eat, Chu Hongzhong was elated and hurriedly got the servant to bring the dishes back to the kitchen to heat them up.

“Han Er, your brother…”

Mdm Chu looked at Chu Sihan and hesitated.

“If Mother has nothing to do, it’s best not to disturb him for the next two days. Siyun has just woken up and can’t handle repeated shocks from Mother.”

Chu Sihan said lightly and left with Lu Sheng.

Mdm Chu’s face turned from white to red immediately, her face full of shame.

“Your son has just returned, but you, as his mother, kept calling him a bastard. Any son would be shocked if they were insulted by their mother.”

Matriarch Chu said coldly and left with Nanny Kong, ignoring Mdm Chu’s reaction.

Mdm Chu bit her lip and looked up at the room before leaving in embarrassment.

If she had known that that was her Yun Er, she would have been so happy. Why would she humiliate him in public?

If only she had been calmer back then and understood the situation first.

Now, her eldest son was distancing himself from her and her second son was afraid and disgusted with her. As a mother, she was too much of a failure.

Perhaps her mother was right. She was used to being too self-centered. Whenever she saw something amiss, she liked to be overly suspicious.

Recalling Matriarch Fu’s words years ago before she married, Mdm Chu could not help but reflect on herself.

She was used to following her own thoughts. She always felt that she was right.

For example, Shangguan Linger.

In the past, she had always protected Shangguan Linger. She always felt that she was gentle and kind, a rare good girl.

It was only after the commotion broke out that she realized that what she thought was good was just Shangguan Linger deliberately showing it to her. Actually, she was not as good as she thought.

—————

After Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng left Chu Siyun’s room, the two of them returned to Chu Sihan’s room.

Not long after they sat down, they heard someone report that Chu Yun had sent a letter.

Chu Yun’s letter did not have any special content. Most of it was complaining that he could not come back to attend their wedding.

In addition to the letter, there were two gift boxes.

One was from Chu Yun and the other was from Constable Ji. They said that these were congratulatory gifts for the two of them.

Chu Yun bought a pair of jades. Constable Ji gave them a jade comb.

One symbolized that they would be perfect partners, while the other symbolized that they would grow old together.

After seeing the gift, Lu Sheng chuckled. “These two men really know how to choose gifts.”

“Constable Ji already has a wife and child. He should know these. Chu Yun should have asked him.”

Chu Sihan folded the letter and placed it in the drawer. He looked up at her and asked, “Are you used to living in the Chu Mansion?”

“Ah…” She pondered for a moment and raised her eyebrows. “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “I know even if you don’t say it.”

Even he, who had lived here since he was young, did not like it here, let alone Lu Sheng, who had just moved in.

Lu Sheng kept the gift and said lightly, “Are all rich families so lacking in compassion?”

“Maybe.”

Chu Sihan smiled faintly and said, “The Chu Mansion is considered simple. You haven’t seen anyone else from the Fu family yet. Otherwise, you will find it more chaotic.”

Perhaps to take care of Lu Sheng’s emotions, Matriarch Fu did not inform the other relatives back then.

Hence, when Lu Sheng went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she only saw those few people.

“Really?”

Lu Sheng clicked her tongue. “Then, I hope we never meet again.”

She did not like to participate in these disputes. It was not as interesting as catching ghosts.

Chu Sihan smiled. “If you don’t want to see them, then don’t.”

—————

Two days later.

It was the day to return home, so the duo woke up early.

Mdm Chu personally picked some gifts for Lu Sheng to bring back.

Moreover, her tone was much gentler than before, which flattered Lu Sheng.

Not only her, but even Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Set off quickly. Don’t waste time.”

Seeing that the two of them were still standing at their original spots, Mdm Chu reminded them awkwardly.

She had thought a lot over the past two days and reflected on herself. That was why she tried to change.

“Take care!”

Lu Sheng nodded at her before getting on the carriage.

Chu Hongzhong walked forward and said to Chu Sihan, “Han Er, I plan to tell your uncle about your brother today.”

Prime Minister Fu had not left for the past two days and was currently staying in the government office.

After attending Chu Sihan’s and Lu Sheng’s wedding, the Eldest Prince set off for the capital that day.

Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “Do as you deem fit.”

“Okay, be careful on the way!”

Chu Sihan nodded and boarded the carriage.

When they reached the town gate, Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and the rest were already waiting there.

Other than Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and Fu Sisi, there was also Yu Mingyue and a girl whom she had never seen before.

The girl looked a bit shy and kept following Yu Mingyue.

Yu Mingyue smiled at Lu Sheng and introduced, “Her name is Ling Yi, and she’s my friend. She said she wanted to walk around your vegetable field.”

Lu Sheng’s vegetable field was filled with strange vegetables. Now, some famous people in Huang Yang Town knew about her vegetable field.

“Hello, Miss Ling Yi!”

“Hello, Miss Lu!”

Hearing Lu Sheng greet her, Ling Yi hurriedly replied with a red face.

“Alright, let’s talk after we return to the Lu family,” Shi Yi said with a smile.

Lu Sheng and Yu Mingyue nodded at the same time. The two of them returned to their respective carriages and set off for the Lu family again.

In the Lu family, Lu Ran had already started preparing the dishes early in the morning.

The dishes were sent over from the Lu family’s restaurant early in the morning. Afraid that they would turn cold, he even placed them in a steamer to keep them warm.

“Lord, Young Madam, there are two carriages blocking the entrance ahead. I’m afraid we can’t pass.”

When they reached the junction of Liu Yue Village, the carriage suddenly stopped. The coachman reported to Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. Chu Sihan lifted the curtain and said lightly, “Go and ask what happened.”

The coachman nodded and hurried off the carriage.

“What happened?”

Shi Yi asked curiously.

Chu Sihan lifted the curtain of the window and explained, “There are other carriages blocking the way ahead. We can’t enter.”

Lu Sheng alighted and looked ahead. Her eyes narrowed.

Wasn’t the person standing in front Lu Wei, who had already married Minister Shi?

She was dressed in pink and a servant was standing beside her, fanning her with an umbrella.

“I’m really sorry. When our carriage reached the entrance, the horse suddenly stopped moving.”

She explained to the coachman apologetically.

The coachman glanced at the horse kneeling on the ground and frowned slightly. He turned back and explained the situation to Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng.

“Lord, Young Madam, that lady said that their horse suddenly can’t walk anymore.”

“The horse can’t walk anymore?”

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. It just had to stop walking when they reached the village entrance and were about to return home.

If Lu Wei did not do this on purpose, Lu Sheng would follow her surname.
