Chapter 168: Just Like That
Lu Sheng poured tea for the two of them before sitting down. She smiled and asked, “What were the two of you talking about just now?”
Her master had put a Soundproof Talisman on this corner. No matter how good her hearing was, she could not hear it.
Lu Zhou picked up his teacup and blew on it. He said calmly, “What else can we talk about? I’m just telling Lord Chu some embarra.s.sing things about you.”
“Hah~”
There was no way she would believe her master!
She just didn’t believe it.
She couldn’t hear him, but she wasn’t blind.
Chu Sihan’s shocked expression did not seem like he had heard her embarra.s.sing story.
These two must have some secret that she did not know about.
Hence, she turned her eyes slightly and smiled at Chu Sihan. “Lord, what did my master say to you just now?”
“Nothing.” Chu Sihan’s expression softened. “Just some political matters.”
“Oh.”
Upon hearing that it was a political matter in the imperial court, Lu Sheng immediately lost interest.
Compared to the political affairs of the court, she was more interested in subduing demons, exorcising evil spirits, and catching ghosts.
Lu Zhou looked at Chu Sihan and couldn’t help but admire him.
Chu Sihan was definitely the first person who dared to fool this little girl and make her believe him.
“Are you tired?”
Chu Sihan asked softly.
“I’m not tired!”
Lu Sheng grinned and shook her head happily.
She wouldn’t feel tired when it came to collecting money.
There were quite a few customers today. After deducting all the expenses, the net profit should be around two hundred taels. That was pretty good.
Unfortunately, it was winter now and her crayfish and river crabs could not be served. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to earn more.
She had previously stored the potatoes in her s.p.a.ce Bracelet. Half of them would be used as seeds for next year while the other half would be used for cooking.
Everyone seemed to love eating potatoes and was especially interested in them.
She seemed to be running out of potatoes.
When the flowers bloom next spring, she must plant them on a large scale.
Chu Sihan looked at her smiling face and his troubled heart calmed down.
Lu Sheng seemed to have a magical power that was always guiding him, making him want to get closer to her.
This sort of feeling was like… like a person who had always been hiding in the shadows and yearned to see the warm sun.
He thought that she must have been his suns.h.i.+ne in his past life.
Otherwise, why would someone as impartial and cold-hearted as him suddenly care so much about someone?
Every time he returned to Lin Jiang Mansion, he would feel inexplicably frustrated. Only when he returned to Huang Yang Town would his frustration disappear.
No wonder the State Minister said that she was destined to be his. From the looks of it, that was indeed the case.
He originally thought that in this lifetime, in order to repay the Chu family’s nurturing grace, he would devote himself to the country and support the Chu family. Then, he would be all alone.
Ever since he met her, he finally understood what it was meant by longing for someone to be back and being anxious to return as soon as possible.
Was she his calamity or his fortune?
“Lord, you… why are you looking at me like that?”
Lu Sheng’s face could not help but heat up when she was suddenly stared at by his burning gaze.
She touched her face and asked suspiciously, “My face… shouldn’t be stained with anything, right?”
“No.”
He looked away, but there was a gentle smile on his lips.
Regardless, he’d decided on her for the rest of his life.
“Hmm…”
Lu Zhou, who was watching by the side, could not help but speak up to break the “springtime” atmosphere.
What a brat! He dared to seduce his daughter right in front of him. He was just like that young man.
