Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

He Dong, who came late, was confused.

He did not understand the part about ingots or worshipping ancestors.

“Uncle, what are you talking about?”

He Dong moved towards He Lai and asked softly.

He Lai sniffed and looked at him. “Your cousin went to the capital and met the Emperor. The Emperor even rewarded her with a pair of gold ingots.”

He Dong was shocked.

The last time the restaurant opened, he did not go because he had to attend class.

His father did not mention what happened in the restaurant to him. He only told him to study hard.

He was only two years younger than Lu Sheng. She had already gone to the capital and met the Emperor, but he had not even left An Mu Village.

Comparisons could indeed anger one to death!

He Hu was still in a daze and felt that it was unrealistic.

“There’s nothing delicious at home. I’ve just warmed these brown sugar peanut cakes. Eat them while they’re hot.”

Mdm Xu walked out with a tray of brown sugar peanut cakes.

Seeing that their expressions were a bit off, she looked at He Hu suspiciously, wanting him to explain matters. However, she realized that his confused expression was even more obvious than the others.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Mdm Xu frowned, puzzled.

“I don’t know either.”

Lu Sheng took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.

The few of them looked at her at the same time with hopeless expressions.

“Grandma, Cousin has seen the Emperor and even received a pair of gold ingots.”

He Lai explained to He Dong, and He Dong explained to Mdm Xu.

“Nonsense.”

Mdm Xu rolled her eyes at He Dong in amusement. She gestured for everyone to quickly drink their tea and eat. Then, she returned to the kitchen to get busy.

They looked at each other, then at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng picked up a piece of brown sugar peanut cake and placed it in her mouth. She chewed silently, ignoring their gazes.

He Hu seemed to have thought of something and took the pot of tea expressionlessly, hiding it in his arms.

This was the tea from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Although it was not as good as the gold ingot bestowed by the Emperor, it was still not an ordinary item. He had to hide it carefully.

Seeing his actions, Lu Sheng did not say anything and only found it funny.

He Lai glanced at his father and was speechless.

The few of them sat and drank their tea. No one spoke anymore.

At this moment, He Zhang rode an ox cart into the courtyard.

He stopped the ox cart at the side and took off his bamboo hat. When he saw Lu Sheng and Lu Ran sitting in the courtyard, his expression was slightly surprised.

“When did Lu Sheng come back?”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I just reached home yesterday.”

“Brother knows that Lu Sheng went to the capital?” He Lai was surprised.

“The capital?”

He Zhang looked at Lu Sheng. “Didn’t Lu Sheng go to Lin Jiang Mansion with the Third Prince and Lord Chu to investigate some serial murder case?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

She only said that she had something to do and wanted to go to Lin Jiang Mansion with her master and Chu Sihan. She never said that she wanted to go to Lin Jiang Mansion to investigate some serial murder case.

It seemed like Fu Xianyun had told him.

“Uncle seems to have a good relationship with Magistrate Fu.”

When He Zhang heard that, he glanced at her and explained, “Magistrate Fu often brought his wife and children to the restaurant to eat. He mentioned it by accident.”

What he meant was that Fu Xianyun had told him himself.

He Hu was speechless.

His son actually knew the new magistrate, but he did not know anything.

These two people actually knew so many big shots but never mentioned them. They were too much!

“Father, are your eyes twitching? Should I get a doctor to take a look?”

Seeing He Hu blink a few times, He Zhang asked seriously.
