Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

“You came specially to take us away?”

The old woman frowned. “Who are you?”

Lu Sheng smiled. “Granny, you don’t have to care who we are. You only need to know that we will bring you guys out of this place safely.”

The old woman still wanted to say something when Lu Sheng suddenly yawned and pretended to be very tired. “I’m a little tired. Granny, we’ll rest first. You should rest early too.”

The old woman sighed and nodded, but she still felt a little worried.

Although she knew that that young master knew martial arts and could deal with those people outside the village, what if he encountered those soldiers?

Forget it. Let’s take it as a gamble.

If she won the bet, she would be able to bring her two grandchildren to see her son and daughter-in-law.

If they lost, they would lose three lives.

They would die anyway, so it was better to take a gamble.

—————

The next day.

Lu Sheng woke up early and cooked the rest of the rice into porridge.

When the porridge was about to be cooked, Chu Sihan happened to have just woken up. Lu Sheng quickly asked him to bring some to the others, leaving only some for the granny and her grandchildren.

After breakfast, the old woman was still a little uneasy.

“Miss, why don’t we see that young master?”

The old woman was a little worried when she did not see Chu Sihan around.

From the looks of it last night, Chu Sihan knew martial arts, so she felt that Chu Sihan was more reliable than Lu Sheng.

“He’ll be back soon.”

Lu Sheng looked at her and said calmly, “Granny, see if there’s anything else you need to pack up. Hurry up and do so.”

She did not know if she would be able to return after leaving this time.

“I’ve packed them last night.”

After the old woman replied, she couldn’t help but reveal a sorrowful expression.

This departure might be forever.

She looked up and sized up the furnishings in the house. She smiled bitterly and said, “This house and the things in it were exchanged by my son and daughter-in-law after working hard for almost ten years. I didn’t expect that all their efforts would be in vain.”

“They didn’t work for nothing.”

Lu Sheng whispered, “At the very least, their efforts saved you.”

“That’s true.”

The old woman sighed deeply and smiled bitterly.

“Young Master, can you really bring us away?”

“Young Master, there are soldiers guarding outside. Can we really leave?”

“Young Master…”

Lu Sheng smiled when he heard the noise outside.

She looked at the three of them and said, “My brother is back. Let’s go out and meet up with everyone.”

Lu Sheng got up and walked out a few steps, but did not hear any footsteps behind her.

She stopped and turned around in confusion.

She saw the old woman holding the hands of the two children and standing in the courtyard, looking at her hesitantly.

She sighed and walked back. She stood in front of the old woman and said solemnly, “Apart from drinking snow water, there’s nothing else to eat here. Although spring is approaching, that will be a month later. You might be fine, but what about your two grandchildren?”

“Grandma, I want to see Father and Mother!”

The little boy tugged at the old woman’s sleeve. His eyes were less dazed but more hopeful.

These two children were twins. The boy was called Kai Dong and the girl was called Kai Chun. The two of them were already eight years old.

However, because they had been starving for a long time and they had insufficient nutrition, they did not look like eight years old. Instead, they looked like six or seven years old.

“Grandma, let’s go with Brother and Sister. I believe that they can bring us out!”

Kai Chun looked at Lu Sheng and persuaded her grandma.

The old woman was silent for a moment. In the end, she seemed to have made a decision and nodded. “Let’s go.”

The two children were overjoyed and looked up at Lu Sheng at the same time.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and turned around to lead the way.
