Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Since they did not believe her, Lu Sheng could not be bothered to elaborate further.

Chu Yun walked over and said that Chu Sihan wanted her to go over.

Lu Sheng nodded at the mother-daughter pair before walking over to Chu Sihan.

“What did you chat about just now?”

Chu Sihan poured a bowl of tea for her and asked faintly.

“Nothing, it’s just some plain conversation.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, she looked up and glanced at the mother-daughter pair. Then, she lowered her voice and asked Chu Sihan, “How long has this teahouse been around?”

Although an inconspicuous teahouse was opened in such a remote place, it had been open for more than ten years. Chu Sihan, who frequented here, should have some impression of it, right?

“Quite long.”

Chu Sihan replied. Chu Yun, who was by the side, contemplated and said, “It has been quite long. However, I remember that when we returned to Huang Yang Town previously, the owner of this teahouse did not seem to be this couple.”

“Oh?” Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “What was the previous owner like?”

“He was also a middle-aged man, but he was very strong. There were two young men in their teens helping him. They seem to be his sons.”

Although his memory was not as good as his lord’s, it was still very good. He was sure he remembered it correctly.

Lu Sheng nodded. “I understand.”

She looked down at the bottom of the table and could not help but smile.

“You noticed it too?” Chu Sihan asked faintly.

“Yes.”

She nodded slightly.

As the others spoke more loudly, their voices seemed softer.

That ‘girl’ from the ‘mother-daughter pair’ walked over with a cloth.

Lu Sheng quickly changed the topic and asked Chu Yun what delicacies the Lin Jiang Mansion had.

Although Chu Yun usually looked honest, he was not sloppy at critical moments.

He consecutively listed out a few famous delicacies from Lin Jiang Mansion, such as purple tapioca cake, golden glutinous rice ball, and frozen cloud slices.

He did not say how they tasted. However, from the names themselves, they were definitely not bad.

When she did not hear any useful news and saw Lu Sheng looking at her, she hurriedly revealed an innocent smile.

Lu Sheng returned her a gentle smile.

After the ‘girl’ wandered off, Chu Yun lowered his voice and said, “The Lord had only just discovered the incense burning at the bottom of the table and was about to ask his men to invite you over. I didn’t expect Miss Lu to have discovered it too.”

Her sense of smell was more acute than the average person’s, which was why she could smell the faint but strange fragrance the moment she walked in.

She initially thought that they were used to chase away mosquitoes. After all, there were numerous mosquitoes in the wilderness. It was normal to burn incense to chase them away.

It was only after pouring a cup of tea that she realised something was amiss.

The tea itself was not poisonous. However, if one smelled it together with the incense, a different fragrance would be created.

As the tea smell was too strong, that faint fragrance could be easily ignored.

This was also the reason why she ‘accidentally’ knocked over the tea bowl.

There was a hole on the tea table. As the tea dripped down, it extinguished the burning incense.

The color of the incense was similar to the color of the ground. If one did not look closely, they would not have noticed it.

At this moment, everyone who was still shouting suddenly fainted.

Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Chu Yun looked at one another. Then, they held their foreheads and collapsed onto the table.

“This Chu Sihan is only so-so. His vigilance is so poor. I wonder what Master is afraid of about him.”

With a slam, the ‘girl’ threw the cloth onto the table.

Her voice changed from an innocent loli’s to that of an adult female.
