Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

The night market was brightly lit, and there were visitors everywhere.

When the carriage entered the bustling city, these two lines of verse surfaced in Lu Sheng’s mind.

It was the capital, after all. Despite the cold weather outside, the city was still bustling.

As there were too many pedestrians, Chu Yun deliberately slowed his horse. When they reached the middle, he was practically walking.

“Eh—”

When she passed by the street, Lu Sheng saw two familiar figures.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing the surprise on her face, Chu Sihan asked curiously.

Lu Sheng shook her head. After lowering the curtain, she mumbled, “I must have seen wrongly.”

She actually saw the beggar grandparent-grandchild pair whom she had given buns to back at Huang Yang Town.

However, they were dressed cleanly and had servants accompanying them now. This made her wonder if she had seen wrongly.

However, she did not know that the boy who passed by her window suddenly stopped and turned back.

“Fei Er, what’s wrong?”

The matriarch, who was holding the boy’s hand, asked.

The boy looked at the departing carriage and said, “Grandmother, I think I saw that sister just now. She’s in that carriage.”

“Which sister?”

The matriarch asked suspiciously.

“The sister who gave us buns to eat the last time we sneaked out of Huang Yang Town and had our pouches stolen.”

“Oh?”

The matriarch suddenly turned around. Seeing that the carriage had already left the crowd, she said to a guard beside her, “Xiao Liu, follow that carriage and see where it stops.”

The guard called Xiao Liu nodded and walked towards the carriage. After leaving the crowd, he chased after her with his qinggong.

“Matriarch, could the lady in the carriage be the savior you mentioned?”

A nanny beside her asked softly.

“Yes!”

The matriarch nodded. “Last time, Fei Er and I were wearing servant clothes. We wanted to sneak out secretly to play, but our pouches were stolen midway.”

She sighed softly. “We were hungry and didn’t know our way back. We could only pretend to be beggars by the roadside.”

In the end, she and her grandson begged for a long time, but no one gave them anything to eat. It was a beggar girl who pitied them and gave them two buns.

When they were found and prepared to thank the beggar girl, they searched the entire Huang Yang Town but could not find her.

“Fei Er, did you see the wrong person?”

Only then did the matriarch remember that the girl looked more like a beggar than them.

How could a beggar ride on such a luxurious carriage?

“I’m not mistaken.”

Fei Er shook his head, his tone very certain.

Although that sister was disheveled back then, he would never forget her eyes.

Her grandson had always had an amazing memory. The matriarch knew this very well.

She nodded. “Yes. Although I don’t know why she came to the capital, I’ll definitely thank her in person if I find her.”

————

On this side, Xiao Liu followed the carriage. However, as he was afraid of being discovered, he only dared to follow from afar and not get too close.

The carriage entered an alley near the palace and entered a small courtyard.

After confirming the address, Xiao Liu turned around and returned.

After Lu Sheng alighted from the carriage, she raised her eyebrows curiously when she saw the small courtyard in front of her.

After sizing it up, she asked, “Is this the Lord’s courtyard in the capital?”

“No.”

Chu Sihan alighted from the carriage and walked alongside her. “This is my master’s residence. We’ll stay here temporarily for now.”
