Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

“Is that so?”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony!”

Then, she pocketed the card and patted her pocket.

Pei Yan watched enviously, but could only watch.

“Since we still have time, why don’t we go out for a while?” Lu Sheng suggested to Chu Yan.

“Where to?” Chu Yan asked.

“To buy some things,” she said softly. “We can’t delay Senior Pei’s matter for too long.”

Chu Yan nodded. “Then, let’s go.”

“I’ll drive you?” Pei Yan asked.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “You can’t go. Before tonight, you can’t drive or go out.”

Chu Yan raised an eyebrow. “Both of you are underage. Why don’t I get the driver to send you there?”

“No need.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Senior Chu is a minor, but I’m not.”

Chu Yan looked up at her with a strange expression.

On the other hand, Pei Yan was really curious about Lu Sheng’s age. Hence, he asked, “Junior, tell me the truth. How old are you?”

Lu Sheng took out her new identity card and showed it to Pei Yan.

“Nineteen? She’s actually a year older than me!” Pei Yan clicked his tongue and said, “I really couldn’t tell. I would even believe it if Junior said she was fifteen.”

He had no choice. Lu Sheng looked too young.

Lu Sheng kept her identity card and said to Chu Yan, “Senior Chu, let’s go.”

“Yes.” Chu Yan nodded.

The two of them were about to leave when Yao Bingxin hurried over and asked, “Where are you going? Leave only after dinner. There are a lot of dishes in the kitchen.”

Lu Sheng turned back and smiled. “Don’t worry, Auntie. We’ll definitely have dinner tonight. Senior Chu and I are going out to buy some things. We’ll be back soon.”

“If you need to buy anything, just tell me. I’ll get someone to buy it.”

Lu Sheng thought for a while and felt that it made sense. She hurriedly looked at Chu Yan and said, “Why don’t we not go?”

Chu Yan said calmly, “It’s up to you.”

Lu Sheng smiled and hurriedly said to Yao Bingxin, “I’ll make a list. Auntie, you can just get someone to buy according to the list.”

Yao Bingxin nodded. “Okay.”

“Senior Pei, give me a pen and paper.”

Lu Sheng walked back to the sofa and sat down, letting Pei Yan pass her a pen and paper.

Pei Yan took his bag from the sofa, took out a pen and paper, and passed them to her.

After Lu Sheng received it, she started to write down the items she wanted to buy.

Chu Yan sat down beside her and leaned over to read her words.

There were candles, incense burners, a paper figurine, fruits, ingots, paper money, and a cooked chicken.

“Alright, Auntie. Here you go.”

After Lu Sheng finished writing, she tore off the paper and handed it to Yao Bingxin.

Yao Bingxin received it and was stunned. “This is…”

She had thought that Lu Sheng wanted Chu Yan to accompany her to buy other things. She did not expect them to be these.

No matter how stupid she was, she knew what these things were for.

“This is for the ritual tonight. We can’t delay Senior Pei’s matter anymore.”

After all, she could not always stay by Pei Yan’s side.

“Okay, I’ll get someone to prepare it now. Take a seat first.”

As this concerned her son’s safety, Yao Bingxin could not afford to delay.

“Why use paper figurines?” Chu Yan was very curious.

“That’s right. Why do we need to use a paper figurine?” Pei Yan was also very curious.

Lu Sheng smiled mysteriously. “Don’t ask. You’ll know tonight.”

Pei Yan sneered and stood up. “What do you want to drink? I’ll get it for you.”

Chu Yan said lightly, “I’ll just drink tea.”

Lu Sheng raised her hand and said, “Me too.”

Pei Yan nodded. “Okay, I’ll brew another pot for you.”

Yao Bingxin walked back and smiled. “Don’t drink too much tea. You won’t be able to eat later.”

Lu Sheng agreed. “Auntie is right. Stop brewing.”

“Okay then.” Pei Yan, who had just stood up, sat back down.

“Sir is back?”

The butler’s voice came from outside.

“Oh, we have guests at home?”

A stern voice was heard.

“They’re Young Master’s classmates.”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in.

“Dad, you’re back.”

Seeing the man, Pei Yan hurriedly stood up from the sofa.

It was obvious that he was afraid of his father.

“Yes.”

Pei Jiayou nodded and placed his briefcase on the coffee table.

“Uncle Pei,” Chu Yan greeted.

“Xiao Yan is here?”

Seeing Chu Yan, Pei Jiayou’s expression softened.

When his gaze landed on Lu Sheng, he could not help but be stunned.

“Uncle Pei!”

Lu Sheng looked at him in surprise. “So, you’re Senior Pei’s father?”

“Lu Sheng, when did you come to Uncle’s house? Why didn’t you tell me?”

When he saw Chu Yan just now, his expression eased. Now that he saw Lu Sheng, a smile appeared on his face.

Pei Yan was shocked. He rarely saw his father’s smile.

In his impression, he always looked gloomy and stern.

“Dad, you know Junior?”

Pei Jiayou explained, “She’s a friend’s niece.”

The reason why Lu Sheng knew Pei Jiayou was that Shangguan Dian brought her to a jewelry auction once.

She did not know how Shangguan Dian and Pei Jiayou knew each other, but she could tell that they had a good relationship.

“Isn’t your uncle at home? Why don’t you call him and ask him to come over?” Pei Jiayou smiled.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “He and my father went overseas.”

“Really? That’s a pity. We can only wait for the next time.”

Pei Jiayou sat opposite the three of them and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be classmates with Xiao Yan and Ah Yan.”

“Isn’t that so?” Lu Sheng smiled.

Dinner was prepared quickly. Pei Yan and Chu Yan did not speak much at the dining table.

On the other hand, the usually quiet Pei Jiayou became exceptionally talkative. Even Yao Bingxin was surprised.

Moreover, he even took the initiative to give her food. This made her feel more flattered.

She had been married to Pei Jiayou for twenty years. As it was a marriage alliance, their relationship could not be said to be good or bad. It could only be said to be very calm.

All these years, the number of times Pei Jiayou took the initiative to give her food could be counted on five fingers.

She had heard from Pei Jiayou that Shangguan Dian was a powerful antique collector.

At his place, any painting or accessory was at least a thousand years old. They were exceptionally valuable.

Pei Jiayou was exceptionally interested in these things, so he was exceptionally respectful to experts in this aspect.

He did not expect Lu Sheng to be Shangguan Dian’s niece.

“Come, Senior Chu, eat more too.”

Lu Sheng gave Chu Yan a prawn.

“Junior, where’s mine?”

Pei Yan passed his bowl over.

Lu Sheng smiled and was about to give Pei Yan one too. However, Chu Yan had already picked one up quickly and placed it in Pei Yan’s bowl.

He looked at Pei Yan indifferently and said, “What else do you want to eat? I’ll get some for you.”

“Ah… I’ll take it myself. I’ll take it myself!”

Pei Yan shuddered under his gaze and kept his bowl silently.

Chu Yan retracted his gaze in satisfaction.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and giggled. Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Halfway through dinner, the driver brought the items back.

“What are those?”

Pei Jiayou looked at the items placed in the corner of the hall by the driver and frowned.

Yao Bingxin said in a low voice, “I’ll tell you in detail after dinner.”

Although Pei Jiayou was puzzled, he could not ask further when he saw that Lu Sheng and Chu Yan were still eating.

After dinner, he pulled Yao Bingxin aside and asked for the reason.

“You still remember what that priest said a few days ago, right?”

Yao Bingxin asked solemnly.

“You’re referring to that swindler?” Pei Jiayou frowned. “He’s here again?”

“No!” Yao Bingxin shook her head. “His words came true.”

“What?”

Pei Jiayou’s heart jumped. “What do you mean?”

“Today, Yan Er drove back from school and was almost knocked down by a truck. Thankfully, Xiao Yan and Xiao Sheng discovered the truck in time and made him stop quickly, thus avoiding the calamity.”

Although Yao Bingxin did not see it with her own eyes, she shuddered in fear after hearing Pei Yan’s description.

If not for Chu Yan and Lu Sheng, she would have lost her last son.

When she thought of this, she felt a lingering fear.

She looked at Pei Jiayou and said, “Yan Er said that he was very focused on the front at that time, but he didn’t see that truck.”

Pei Jiayou’s face darkened. “So, what the priest said was true? That person came back for revenge?”

“Lu Sheng said that she has a way to solve this. She was the one who asked me to prepare those items just now.”

“Lu Sheng?” Pei Jiayou was stunned. “She’s just a child. How does she know these things?”

Yao Bingxin said, “Yan Er initially thought that it was just a coincidence, but Lu Sheng asked him to come back and ask us. Moreover, that child looks young, but I think she’s a reliable child. She probably won’t lie.”

Pei Jiayou nodded.

He had already lost his eldest son. He could not lose his youngest son again.

Moreover, he felt that Yao Bingxin was right. Although he had only seen Lu Sheng a few times, she was indeed a reliable child.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I’ll ask her what help she needs.”

When he walked back, Lu Sheng was instructing Chu Yan and Pei Yan to distribute the items.

“Lu Sheng, is there anything I can help you with?” Pei Jiayou asked.

“No need, Uncle Pei. We can handle such a small matter.”

As she spoke, she suddenly placed her finger in her mouth and bit it. Then, she wrote and drew on the paper figurine.

Chu Yan frowned slightly and stared at her finger with a hint of heartache.

Pei Jiayou had never believed in these things and did not know what Lu Sheng was doing. However, seeing her serious expression, he did not dare to disturb her.

After Lu Sheng stopped, she looked at Pei Jiayou and said, “Uncle Pei, can you get someone to move the table to the backyard?”

“Of course.” Pei Jiayou nodded. “What kind of table does Lu Sheng need? Is it round or square?”

“Best if it’s square. It doesn’t have to be too long or too wide. Just more or less is fine.”

Pei Jiayou nodded. “Okay, Uncle will get someone to prepare it now.”

“Junior, the items have been distributed. What should we do next?” Pei Yan squatted at the side and asked.

Lu Sheng nodded and said lightly, “Move the items to the backyard.”

“Okay.” Pei Yan nodded and hurried to carry the items to the backyard.

Seeing Lu Sheng pick up the paper figurine, Yao Bingxin wanted to help, but was stopped by Lu Sheng.

“Auntie, I’ll do this!”

Other than her, no one could touch this thing. Otherwise, everything she had done earlier would have been for nothing.

“Okay, okay!”

Yao Bingxin hurriedly retracted her hand and followed her to the backyard.

On the other hand, Pei Jiayou got someone to take out a square table from the warehouse. After wiping the dust clean, they moved it to the backyard.

Lu Sheng placed the paper figurine aside and started placing things on the table.

After everything was set up, she turned back and said to Pei Yan, “Senior Pei, go back to your room and remember to lock the door.”

“Huh?”

Pei Yan was stunned. “Can’t I be here?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “No.”

Pei Jiayou looked at him and said in a deep voice, “Hurry up and go back.”

“Oh, I’ll go back now.”

Pei Yan looked at Chu Yan, seemingly wanting him to accompany him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yan did not even look at him. He had no choice but to rub his nose and walk back gloomily.

Lu Sheng instructed him again, “Remember, don’t open the door after you’ve locked it. You can only open it after Senior Chu calls you.”

“Okay!”

Pei Yan stopped in his tracks and returned to his room.

Lu Sheng waited for about five minutes before asking Yao Bingxin to see if Pei Yan had locked the door. After confirming, she started casting her spell.

“Uncle, Auntie, come over.”

She waved at Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin to stand by the side of the paper figurine.

Pei Jiayou was relatively calm, but Yao Bingxin seemed a bit nervous.

Lu Sheng consoled her before lighting the incense.

“What do I need to do?” Chu Yan asked softly.

Lu Sheng lowered her voice. “Burn the paper money in the basin later.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly.

Lu Sheng glanced at him and smiled.

This ghost had quite a lot of face. He actually let the son of the King of Hades burn paper money for him.

She retracted her thoughts and stuck the incense stick on the incense burner. Then, she closed her eyes and started chanting.

The surrounding trees started to shake and the wind became stronger.

Pei Jiayou looked around and felt that something was amiss.

Lu Sheng suddenly opened her eyes and quickly walked to the paper figurine. She tapped the paper figurine’s forehead and it was suddenly enveloped by a golden light.

When the golden light dissipated, the three people present were shocked.

Yao Bingxin’s lips twitched, but she could not say anything.

Pei Jiayou was also shocked speechless.

Comparatively speaking, Chu Yan was much calmer.

After his shock, he immediately regained his calm.

No wonder Lu Sheng let Pei Yan go back. If he were here, there would be two Pei Yan.

That’s right. After the golden light dissipated, the paper figurine became Pei Yan.

“It’s here.”

The surrounding temperature plummeted and Chu Yan’s gaze immediately became sharp.

Lu Sheng returned to the table and stood still. She looked straight ahead and said lightly, “Since you’re here, show yourself.”

Just as she finished speaking, a faint black figure suddenly appeared not far away.

After a while, a young man in his twenties walked out expressionlessly.
