Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

“Han Er, you’ve been married for almost a year. Why isn’t Lu Sheng pregnant yet?”

Sun Zhi’s mother, Fu Dai, asked with a faint smile.

Her mother actually reprimanded her granddaughter for an outsider, which made Fu Dai more or less unhappy.

“That’s the young people’s matter. Is there a need for you to talk so much?” Matriarch Fu glanced at her unhappily.

“Oh, Mother, we can’t say that.” Fu Dai laughed dryly and said, “It’s been almost a year. I’m afraid there might be some hidden illness.”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly when she heard Chu Sihan say coldly, “If I remember correctly, Cousin was born only three years after Aunt married Uncle, right?”

Fu Dai’s expression changed slightly. She did not expect the usually silent Chu Sihan to rebuke her.

“Snort—”

Fu Sisi could not help but burst into laughter.

“Second Aunt, why did you do this? We were fine. Why did you bring out your old injury?”

Fu Sisi had always been a carefree person. The Fu family was long used to her indiscriminate speech.

“Sisi, don’t be rude.”

Seeing Fu Dai’s face turn green, Mdm Fu reprimanded her helplessly.

“Sister Sisi, why are you always going against us?” Sun Zhi was very angry.

She did not know what bewitching potion Lu Sheng had drugged the Fu family to make them side with her so much.

“What do you mean I’m going against you and your mother? You’re going against Cousin-in-law, right?”

Fu Sisi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Cousin-in-law has just entered and hasn’t even said anything yet, but the two of you are already mocking her sarcastically. Why? Are you the only ones who have mouths?”

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled.

For Matriarch Fu’s sake, she could not say anything.

However, it was different when Fu Sisi spoke. After all, she was the Fu family’s daughter.

It had to be said that Matriarch Fu was such a good person. Why were her daughters so different?

“Alright, it’s rare for everyone to gather today. Cut the crap.”

Once Prime Minister Fu spoke, no matter how unhappy Fu Dai and her daughter were, they could only silently bear with it.

“Niece-in-law, have you told the Third Prince what I told you previously?”

During the tea after dinner, Prime Minister Fu suddenly asked Lu Sheng.

Everyone from the Fu family looked over in confusion.

They did not understand why he asked Lu Sheng about the Third Prince.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Yes, but he had other matters to attend to, so he left Xuan Yue Country. I don’t know when he’ll come back.”

“Is that so?!”

Prime Minister Fu nodded. “Alright then.”

“Ah…”

Fu Dai’s husband, Sun Xing, glanced at Lu Sheng and suddenly interrupted Prime Minister Fu. “Lord, if I may ask, this niece-in-law and the Third Prince are…”

Lu Sheng glanced at him indifferently and did not speak.

Prime Minister Fu said lightly, “Lu Sheng is the Third Prince’s disciple.”

When he said this, Fu Dai and her mother’s expressions changed slightly.

Could it be that she was not an ordinary farm girl, but a farm girl with a backing?

They knew it. Why would Chu Sihan fancy a farm girl so casually? So, there was such a relationship behind this.

The Third Prince was someone they could not reach even if they wanted to. They did not expect him to take a farm girl as his disciple.

“I see!”

Sun Xing said apologetically to Lu Sheng, “Niece-in-law, please forgive me for my earlier offense!”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and remained silent.

Chu Sihan looked at them expressionlessly and did not speak either.

On the other hand, Fu Sisi said disdainfully, “You really bully the weak and fear the strong.”

“Alright, cut it out.” Mdm Fu sighed softly, her head aching.

The most awkward ones were Fu Dai and her mother.

Initially, they could pretend to be stupid if Sun Xing did not apologize. They did not expect him to take the initiative to apologize.

Fu Dai glared at her husband and smiled dryly at Lu Sheng. “Your uncle is right. I was saying words casually just now. Lu Sheng, don’t take it to heart. After all, I’m just worried about you.”

She did not forget to defend herself after apologizing.

Matriarch Fu’s expression was not any better.

The biggest failure in her life was giving birth to two daughters who were not like her.

Lu Sheng knew the big picture. After all, these people did not step on her bottom line.

Hence, when she heard Fu Dai’s words, she only smiled and nodded.

“It’s getting late and the Sun Mansion is quite far from here. If you have nothing to do, go back first.”

Matriarch Fu looked at Fu Dai’s family of three and spoke faintly.

The three of them had ugly expressions.

How could they not tell that Matriarch Fu was chasing them away?

However, Fu Dai had always been good at pretending to be stupid.

She smiled and said, “Mother, we won’t be going back tonight. Zhizhi hasn’t been back for a long time. She wants to accompany you more.”

As she spoke, she winked at Sun Zhi.

Sun Zhi also understood that if they left now, it would be equivalent to being chased away by Matriarch Fu. How embarrassing would that be?

Hence, she cooperated and held Matriarch Fu’s arm. She said coquettishly, “Grandmother, Zhier hasn’t slept with you for a long time. Zhier wants to stay today.”

After all, they were her daughter and granddaughter. Matriarch Fu naturally could not be too tough. She only sighed softly and compromised.

“Cousin-in-law, you’re the Third Prince’s disciple. What did he teach you? The four arts? Or martial arts?”

Although the Third Prince had a respectable status, he was also famous for being an idiot.

“Everything,” Lu Sheng said faintly.

“Really?” Sun Zhi smiled faintly. “Coincidentally, I’ve also learned a few moves. Why don’t we spar?”

“No need. You can’t defeat me.”

Sun Zhi’s smile froze. No matter how she guessed, she did not expect Lu Sheng to speak to her so arrogantly.

Fu Sisi chuckled and secretly gave Lu Sheng a thumbs up.

“Our Zhier was specially taught by a master. Her martial arts are better than Sisi’s.”

Fu Dai was very unhappy, but she did not dare to offend Lu Sheng again.

“Why?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked with a faint smile. “Aunt, are you saying that you think my master’s martial arts are not good enough?”

“No!”

Fu Dai was so scared that she hurriedly laughed dryly and waved her hands.

“Why? Are you indignant?” Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on Sun Zhi and she raised her eyebrows.

Sun Zhi did not speak. However, one could tell from her expression that she was really indignant.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, let’s do it.”

Sun Zhi was stunned. “Right here?”

“Yes.” Lu Sheng nodded. “Right here.”

“Are you crazy? What if I hurt others?” Sun Zhi was in disbelief.

“No, you won’t have a chance.”

Sun Zhi frowned and felt that Lu Sheng was too arrogant.

She initially only wanted to spar with her. Now, it seemed like she had to properly crush her arrogance.

Coincidentally, there was an empty space beside her. Sun Zhi took out her sword, but Lu Sheng stood opposite her empty-handed.

“If you don’t hold a sword, how can we spar?” Sun Zhi asked unhappily.

Everyone in the room was very curious.

“Cousin-in-law, I’ll go and borrow a sword for you.” Afraid that Lu Sheng would suffer a loss, Fu Sisi stood up and wanted to borrow a sword outside.

“Don’t worry.”

Yun Ting pulled her back and smiled. “Miss Lu can do it.”

When Fu Dai heard that, her lips curved upwards.

Even Big Brother admired Sun Zhi’s swordsmanship. She only hoped that Lu Sheng would not cry later.

“Shall we start?”

Lu Sheng asked faintly.

Sun Zhi quickly posed and said coldly, “Come on!”

She had just moved the sword in her hand when two slender fingers clamped her sword tightly, and a hand was strangling her throat.

Sun Zhi’s eyes widened and she stared at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Not only her, but everyone in the room who had not seen Lu Sheng fight before could not help but gasp.

They believed that if Sun Zhi was Lu Sheng’s enemy, she would have died under her hands.

“Cousin-in-law, you’re amazing!”

Fu Sisi spoke sincerely.

Lu Sheng retracted her hand and smiled at Sun Zhi. “I’ve said it before. You can’t defeat me.”

Sun Zhi was stunned for a long time and did not speak.

Prime Minister Fu retracted his shocked gaze and gained a new understanding of the Third Prince.

In the past, like others, he felt that the Third Prince was not skilled in all aspects.

However, it seemed like he was not incompetent. He had deliberately hidden his capabilities.

After all, his disciple was so powerful. How bad could his master be?

In that case, the seemingly simple Third Prince was actually the shrewdest one, right?

Thankfully, he was not interested in that position. Otherwise, there might be another bloodbath in the capital.

“I lost.”

After a while, Sun Zhi walked back and cupped her hands at Lu Sheng.

Fu Sisi clicked her tongue and said venomously, “Cousin-in-law has already said that you’re not her match. Why do you have to bring shame to yourself?”

Sun Zhi snorted coldly and sat back down angrily.

Matriarch Fu smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t expect Lu Sheng’s martial arts to be so exquisite. It seems like the Third Prince has taught her well.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Indeed, in terms of martial arts, I’m much worse than Master.”

“I didn’t expect the Third Prince to be such a hidden expert,” Prime Minister Fu said with a smile.

After sitting for a while, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan prepared to leave.

Matriarch Fu and Prime Minister Fu wanted to keep them, but they politely rejected them with the excuse that they had something to do.

They came separately, but when they returned, Fu Sisi insisted on sitting at Lu Sheng’s place for a while.

Yun Ting had no choice but to agree.

Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan lived in the same courtyard as before.

“We’ll set off tomorrow?”

Yun Ting asked Chu Sihan.

Chu Sihan said coldly, “Such a big matter happened in the Qi Mansion and General Qi can’t rush back. I’m afraid Dongjing can’t handle it alone. Let’s stay for a few days and see how the situation goes.”

Lu Ran and Leya were supposed to get married at the beginning of the year.

However, for some reason, Mdm Peng had a miscarriage.

Old Master Le had no choice but to postpone Leya’s marriage.

It was already May now. It would take at least a month for them to return from the capital.

At the mention of Qi Dongjing, Yun Ting could not help but sigh softly.

“Oh right, I forgot to ask you something.”

“What’s the matter?” Chu Sihan looked at him suspiciously.

Yun Ting said in a low voice, “Almost a year ago, something big happened in Lin Jiang Mansion. It was said that a large group of strange people paraded on the street that night and even let out terrifying roars. However, they didn’t discover anything the next day. Have you heard of this?”

When Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan heard that, they looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

“I remember that you were in Lin Jiang Mansion. Do you know what happened?” Yun Ting asked curiously.

“Why did you suddenly mention this?” Chu Sihan did not understand.

Yun Ting said, “When I was drinking with a few friends in the restaurant not long ago, I heard a businessman from Lin Jiang Mansion say that recently, someone heard that strange sound at night again.”

“What?!”

The duo exclaimed at the same time.

“Really?” Lu Sheng asked.

Yun Ting shook his head. “I’m not sure, but that businessman sounded convincing. It doesn’t seem fake.”

Fu Sisi did not understand, but she did not interrupt.

Seeing their serious expressions, Yun Ting hurriedly asked, “Do you know what those strange people are?”

“Have you heard of puppets?” Lu Sheng asked.

“Puppets?” Yun Ting nodded. “I’ve heard of it, but isn’t that thing a legend?”

Could there really be such a thing in reality?

“That’s not a legend. It exists in reality,” Lu Sheng explained faintly. “Moreover, it was refined by someone.”

Now that Xian Jing and Xian Ya were dead, who was the person who refined the puppets?

Or could it be that Shangguan Dian did not finish clearing those puppets back then?

That was impossible. If he had not finished clearing up, those ownerless puppets would not have waited until now to appear again.

Unless someone refined new puppets, or Xian Jing and Xian Ya’s men did not listen to orders to eliminate those puppets back then.

Lu Sheng thought about it and felt that it might be the second possibility.

After all, it was not easy to refine puppets. They could secretly hide those puppets and use them for themselves.

“It seems like we can’t stay in the capital for too long.”

Chu Sihan looked at Yun Ting and said in a low voice, “I’ll have to trouble you and Brother Shi with Dongjing.”

“Don’t worry, we’re here.” Yun Ting nodded and asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

Chu Sihan said, “It might be very early. You don’t have to send us off. Tell Dongjing for us.”

Yun Ting nodded.

Fu Sisi pouted and said to Lu Sheng, “Cousin-in-law, can I return to Huang Yang Town with you?”

She missed the smell of the Lu family’s restaurant.

Especially the hotpot. She could not help but drool.

She really envied her brother and sister-in-law for being able to stay in Huang Yang Town to enjoy delicacies.

Lu Sheng chuckled and said, “You have to ask the people around you.”

Yun Ting looked at her and consoled her gently. “I’ll bring you to Huang Yang Town after this is over.”

“Really?” Fu Sisi’s eyes lit up.

Yun Ting scratched the tip of her nose and said dotingly, “Silly, when have I ever lied to you?”

Fu Sisi snorted coldly. “Then it’s settled. You’re not allowed to lie!”

Yun Ting nodded. “No, I won’t.”

Lu Sheng smiled and looked at Chu Sihan. However, she realized that he was also smiling at her. She raised her eyebrows at him before shifting her gaze.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go back first. Don’t disturb your cousin and cousin-in-law’s rest.”

Yun Ting stood up and pulled Fu Sisi up.

When the couple saw this, they hurriedly stood up to send them off.
