Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 272 - Ye Luo’s Small House

Chapter 272: Ye Luo’s Small House

There were traces of cleaning in the courtyard. When they entered, they could smell a faint moldy smell. The windows and doors were open.
It seemed like it was cleaned up just today.
Chu Yun entered first and lit the lamp. When the room lit up, the layout of the room was revealed.
The interior was very simple. There were a few folding screens around, and a coffee table was placed in the middle. A few new meditation futons were placed around the coffee table.
There was a stove, a brand new tea set, and a box of tea leaves on the coffee table.
There was an unlit charcoal brazier under the coffee table.
Chu Yun placed the oil lamp on the coffee table and said to the duo, “The moldy smell in the room hasn’t dissipated yet. Lord and Miss Lu, please sit here for a while. I’ll go and bring in the luggage from the carriage.”
The duo nodded slightly. Lu Sheng sat on the futon.
Chu Sihan found a lantern and carried the wooden bucket to the backyard to fetch half a bucket of well water to brew tea.
The fragrance of the tea quickly replaced the remaining moldy smell in the room.
After Chu Yun brought the luggage from the carriage into the house, he entered to drink tea with Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng.
“Lord, did you used to live here often in the capital?”
Lu Sheng poured a cup of tea for Chu Yun and looked up to ask Chu Sihan.
“I lived here for four years.”
He had been staying here ever since he acknowledged him as his master. Four years later, he happened to be the top scholar and returned to the Fu Mansion to stay.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Lord, where’s my master’s mansion?”
She was really curious.
It was said that the Third Prince was the only one among the princes to be bestowed the Prince’s Mansion.
Her master had really taken great advantage. He was a prince who enjoyed the favor of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager alone. He even had endless money to spend.
How was he like her?
She was soaked in water the moment she arrived. After much difficulty, she sent the people who harmed the owner to prison and started earning money to support her family.
Comparisons were odious.
“In another alley. If you want to take a look, I’ll bring you there tomorrow morning.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
She had slept from yesterday afternoon to this morning. It was already midnight, but she was not sleepy at all.
Chu Yun yawned non-stop.
After coming to the capital, he did not rest much. He had just relaxed today when he felt sleepy.
Lu Sheng could not stand it anymore and could only say, “Guard Chu, why don’t you go and rest first?”
Chu Yun rubbed his eyes and shook his head. “No, I still have to guard the night.”
The Lord did not let anyone else come here, so he was the only one who could keep watch.
Chu Sihan said coldly, “There’s no need to keep watch tonight. Go and sleep.”
“Yes!”
Since Chu Sihan had spoken, he naturally would not refuse.
Hence, he stood up and bowed to the two of them before leaving the room.
The room was already silent. With Chu Yun gone, it was even quieter now.
She could only hear the sound of the tea brewing.
Chu Sihan took down new tea and poured away the cold tea in the cup.
“Now that the demons have appeared, the people are afraid that there would be a disaster.”
He said lightly, “If only Uncle-Master Lu were here.”
Lu Zhou was from the Immortal World. With him around, he might be able to find out where these demons were hiding.
There were a lot of people in the capital, and those Illusory Demons were extremely cunning. They transformed into humans, and ordinary people could not detect them.
The murder case at Lotus Flower House was a good example.
Red Dog was still alright. It usually didn’t appear. Even if it did, people would be afraid of its appearance and not easily approach it.
“Lord, what do you plan to do next?”
Lu Sheng picked up the pincers and fiddled with the charcoal before asking casually.
