Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Panda Novel

“Lord, are these the same people from yesterday?”

Chu Yun poured a cup of tea for Chu Sihan and thoughtfully asked.

“Regardless if they’re the same people or not, they’re all our enemies.”

He took a sip from the teacup, then placed it on the table and rubbed his temples tiredly.

“We have already lost a few men yesterday. There will probably be more coming soon. Lord, do you have other plans?”

Chu Yun asked worriedly.

He knew the journey would not be peaceful when he was handling the wealth.

He did not understand why the Lord wanted to take the hot potato. Couldn’t he just hand it over to the county magistrate?

When he thought of this, he asked suspiciously, “Lord, why didn’t you give these riches to the county magistrate to manage them?”

“Hand them over to him?”

Chu Sihan smiled coldly. “Do you know why he forced Li Ming to admit his crime despite knowing that he was innocent?”

Chu Yun shook his head. “I don’t know.”

He did not know, which was why he wanted to ask.

“He knew long ago that the murderer was Zhao Wei, but Zhao Wei promised to give half of the Deng family’s wealth to him if he framed Li Ming.”

When Chu Yun heard that, he was suddenly enlightened.

However, there was one thing that he did not quite understand.

Given his master’s character, he would not have taken over this task.

He should have passed the task to the county magistrate and get him to send over the valuables to the capital instead.

Chu Yun suddenly could not read his lord’s mind.

“Are you wondering why I took over this hot potato?” Chu Sihan asked.

Chu Yun nodded. “Yes, I don’t understand.”

He paused and quickly added, “However, I think Lord has his own considerations.”

Chu Sihan nodded.

“I do have my own considerations.” He glanced at Chu Yun and lightly said, “The county magistrate is not the only one eyeing this wealth. There are many others as well, especially Chu Silin.”

If they let the county magistrate do the sending, this wealth should fall into the hands of others soon.

It wasn’t a pity if someone like the county magistrate died. However, it would be troublesome if this wealth landed in the hands of others.

Disregarding everything else, the consequences would be dire if someone schemed to recruit troops with these riches.

This was also the reason why he wanted to receive this hot potato.

“I understand!”

Although Chu Sihan only spoke halfway, Chu Yun understood.

Lu Sheng was listening at the side. When she saw that Chu Yun had finally attained enlightenment, she almost praised him.

Realizing that they could not see her, she swallowed her words.

Chu Sihan’s senses were too acute, and she did not dare to get too close. She only dared to sit at a corner and listen from afar.

“I’m afraid the courier station is not safe tonight.”

Chu Sihan instructed Chu Yun. “Pass the order down that everyone should remain alert.”

“Yes.”

After accepting his orders, Chu Yun turned around and left.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Who’s that?” Chu Sihan asked coldly.

“Lord, I’ve brought your bath water.”

“Come in.”

She heard the door creak open and two servants carried a big bottle of water that was emitting green smoke into the room.

They carried the water to the bathroom, and two more people brought in a bucket of water.

They poured the water into the bathtub and tested the temperature. Then, they respectfully informed Chu Sihan and retreated.

Chu Sihan waited for them to leave and close the door before entering the bathroom with his clothes.

The bathroom was only covered with a layer of white veil. When she looked up, she could still see the man taking off his clothes.
