Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 36 - Fulfilling The Promise

Chapter 36 - Fulfilling The Promise

Lu Sheng randomly took a stool and sat down in front of Chu Sihan.
"Sorry for the long wait, Young Master Chu." She gave him a charismatic smile and continued speaking, "Does your visit today bring any good news?"
"Since we're here, Lady Lu, can't you bear to give us some tea?" Chu Yun asked.
"So sorry!"
Lu Sheng giggled, and her expression became apologetic. "Filling out your stomach is already hard enough for us. I don't have tea to serve you two."
Plain water is good enough, yet they are asking for more?
"That's true!"
Chu Yun scanned the place, and a wave of sympathy arose within him.
However, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He lowered his head and found his lord's deep and dark eyes looking at him.
It made Chu Yun shiver, and he decided to shut his mouth.
Chu Sihan turned to look at Lu Sheng with a calm expression.
"I have already fulfilled the condition you brought up yesterday. I come here today, hoping that you can fulfill your promise, Lady Lu."
Lu Sheng nodded and said, "Go ahead."
He had promised her that the condition would be within her capability.
As long as it was not money, everything was negotiable.
"Were you the person we met yesterday, at the back of the mountain, Lady Lu?"
His gaze was fixated on her, seemingly forbidding her from averting her gaze.
The question took Lu Sheng by surprise. Then, she smiled and immediately retorted, "How could that be? Why would a lady like me appear at the back of the mountain in the middle of the night?"
"It's really not you?" Chu Sihan squinted, and his eyes became somewhat stern.
Lu Sheng silently looked at him.
Chu Sihan then smiled and said, "It was indeed you."
If I had known that my talisman would fall off, I would've pasted a few more.
Haiz!
I was too careless!
Lu Sheng felt regretful.
"You know the skill of Puppetry?" Chu Sihan asked.
The skill of Puppetry? That was the skill of Soul Control!
However, she could not tell him that.
"It's not the skill of Puppetry."
That was the only way she could answer.
Knowing that she was unwilling to go any further, Chu Sihan did not force her.
"You saved us. What do you want in return?"
"There's no need to give me anything." She shook her head. "You've settled Madam Liu's affair for me. We're even."
"Of course, you can give me some money if you feel bad."
A person without wealth was akin to a person with his limbs bundled. Achieving anything would be hard for them.
Looking at those eyes filled with excitement, Chu Sihan felt speechless.
"You don't have to give too much. Ten, twenty taels will do."
She was not greedy. She would be satisfied as long as she had enough to buy meat.
"Chu Yun!"
Chu Sihan shouted.
Chu Yun untied his pouch and walked over to Lu Sheng. He passed it to her and said,"We rushed out, so we did not bring much. There are a thousand taels here. Is that enough for you, Lady Lu?"
"One… one thousand taels?"
Lu Sheng reached to get the pouch. She realized that it contained a stack of notes inside, with the smallest denomination being fifty taels. There were also some taels.
She smiled. "Enough!"
With this money, she could dig a pond and raise crayfishes and river crabs.
Then, she could eat to her heart's content, with the main course being crayfish and river crab.
She could already foresee the day where she had turned into the richest person of Liu Yue Village.
"Lady Lu, are you having some kind of convulsion?"
Chu Yun worriedly asked after seeing the 'evil smile' that appeared on her face as she held the pouch.
"Cough! Then, do you two have other matters?"
Chu Sihan stood up and said, "I still have some matters to settle, so I shall not stay here any longer. If you still have other requests, Lady Lu, you can find me at the Chu mansion."
Lu Sheng nodded and hurried to see him off.
After sending the two men away, the elated Lu Sheng returned to the courtyard. She even told Lu Jiang and Lu Xin that they would be having braised pork for lunch.
When she had gone to the town the previous day, she could not bear to buy good food as she was afraid that Lu Ran would not have enough for his education.
When the two children heard that they would be having braised pork, they drooled.
