Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 145 - The One and Only

Chapter 145: The One and Only

“That hairpin… is unique.”
Chu Sihan hesitated before speaking faintly.
“The one and only?” Lu Sheng pretended to be surprised and looked up at him. “Where did you get it, Lord?”
Of course, she knew that this jade hairpin was unique. After all, the materials used to create the space storage device were extraordinary. Furthermore, the shape of any space storage device was unique.
Chu Sihan clasped his hands behind his back and explained as he walked, “This was given by my great-grandmother. She said that there was originally a bracelet, but back then, she and my grandfather were pursued. When they were escaping, they hid in a farmhouse. It was a young person who saved them. As they did not have any silver taels back then, they gave that bracelet to that young person.”
Lu Sheng fell into deep thought when she heard that.
In this world, the jade bracelet in her hand was the dowry the owner’s grandfather left for Mdm He. It seemed like the young person back then was the grandfather, He Bing.
“Since it’s a gift from the Lord’s great-grandmother, it must be a priceless treasure. Why would the Lord be willing to give it to me?”
Lu Sheng said this with a hint of teasing.
Chu Sihan looked at her for a while and said lightly, “As a man, I have no use for it. You’re my life savior. Take it as me repaying you for saving my life repeatedly.”
He did not dare to tell her that this jade hairpin was given to him by his great-grandmother before she died for him to give to his future wife.
Although the girl looked thick-skinned, she would feel awkward when it came to such matters.
He did not want to force her. He only wanted to let nature take its course and wait for it to happen.
Lu Sheng pouted and did not speak further.
When the both of them appeared at the entrance of the village, they attracted a lot of attention.
There would be gossip wherever there were more people. When they saw the both of them, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“I knew it. You didn’t believe me. This Lu Sheng is preparing to become someone’s concubine.”
A heavyset woman shot a disdainful glance at Lu Sheng and spoke sarcastically.
Lu Sheng looked over and was suddenly enlightened.
This person was Duan Zhen’s mother, Mdm Ma. Ever since Duan Zhen became a scholar, she felt that she was better than others.
In the village, she could not stand this and that, but no one dared to criticize her.
“What are you looking at? Am I wrong? My son wants to make you his concubine because he thinks highly of you. How dare you not know what’s good for you?”
Seeing Lu Sheng’s gaze, Mdm Ma immediately scolded her arrogantly.
Lu Sheng’s red lips curved into a mocking smile. “Aunt Ma, if one doesn’t know better, they might think that your son is already a high and mighty official.”
He was just a small scholar, yet she was already so arrogant. If he were to be chosen as an official in the future, wouldn’t their family be lawless?
“That will happen sooner or later.”
When Mdm Ma saw Chu Sihan’s face, she sneered at Lu Sheng. “You’re still young and pretty. When you’re old in the future, no one will know where to throw you to.”
Chu Sihan had never liked to reason with these gossipy village women. However, her words disgusted him greatly.
“Who’s her son?” Chu Sihan asked faintly.
“You’ll be scared to death if I tell you!”
Mdm Ma lifted her chin and said arrogantly, “My son is a scholar. He was the first case holder for last year’s village examination. How can you playboys compare to him?”
Lu Sheng was overjoyed when she heard that. She kindly reminded her, “Aunt Ma, let me give you a piece of advice. It’s not easy for your son to study hard for years. If you’re thinking about his future, it’s better to speak less.”
Although Duan Zhen was ambitious and loved the rich, one had to admit that he had worked hard.
Everyone knew about this.
