Chapter 325: New Year’s Eve (3)
“Master!” Seeing Lu Zhou get off the carriage, Lu Sheng walked over with a smile.
Lu Zhou’s expression softened. He walked forward and patted her head. “No one bullied you in the capital previously, right?”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “No!”
“That’s true.”
Lu Zhou nodded.
Who would dare to bully his daughter? The little girl was not someone to be trifled with.
“Lu Sheng, do you remember Uncle?”
The King of Hades alighted from the carriage and revealed a smile that he thought was very kind.
Perhaps it was because he was usually too serious, but when he smiled, it was a little incongruous.
“You’re Uncle Yan!”
That face was seventy percent similar to Chu Sihan’s. It was difficult for Lu Sheng not to know him.
“Yes!”
The King of Hades chuckled.
“Greetings, Third Prince!”
Lu Ran walked out after offering incense. He saw Lu Zhou standing in the courtyard and hurried over to greet him.
Lu Jiang and Lu Xin did not know these people and did not dare to go forward. They only watched from the side.
Lu Ran looked at Shangguan Dian and the King of Hades and asked Lu Sheng, “Who are these two?”
“This is Yan Ye, Villa Master of Snowfall Villa. This is…”
Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s introduction, Shangguan Dian hurried forward and introduced himself with a smile. “I’m from the Demon Realm…”
“Ahem!”
The King of Hades and Lu Zhou spoke at the same time. Shangguan Dian was shocked and looked at the two of them in confusion.
Lu Zhou coughed and introduced Lu Sheng and Lu Ran. “His surname is Yao, and his name is Yao Jie.”
“Oh!”
The siblings agreed at the same time.
Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on Shangguan Dian, and understanding flashed across her clear eyes.
Lu Ran gestured for them to enter. “Please come in and take a seat.”
The three of them nodded. Shangguan Dian led the carriage into the courtyard.
Lu Zhou said to Lu Sheng, “There are some fruits on the carriage. Remember to bring them down later.”
“Okay!”
Lu Sheng went forward and lifted the curtain. Indeed, there were three baskets of fruits.
“I’ll move them. Go and make tea for the Third Prince and the rest.”
Lu Ran had always been bold. However, for some reason, when he approached the trio, he could not help but s.h.i.+ver in fear. It was a fear that came from his bones.
He felt that besides the Third Prince, the other two people’s ident.i.ties were definitely not simple.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, Brother. I’ll leave this to you.”
She was a bit curious about Shangguan Dian’s ident.i.ty. She also knew that the name, ‘Yao Jie’, must have been given by her master at the last minute just now.
“Ah Zhou, didn’t you say you were coming to visit your wife and daughter? Where are your wife and daughter? Why didn’t I see them?”
Shangguan Dian was puzzled.
Almost everyone in this courtyard was a mortal. Even Lu Zhou’s disciple was a real human.
Moreover, there was no woman in the courtyard!
“What wife and daughter?” Lu Zhou frowned. “My wife is long gone.”
“Huh?”
After being stunned for a while, Shangguan Dian suddenly looked at him sympathetically.
Lu Zhou was speechless.
Did he need his sympathy? Although his wife was no longer around, he still had his daughter.
“How dare you, a single man, pity me?”
This time, it was Shangguan Dian’s turn to be hurt.
After a pause, he decided to shut up.
Lu Sheng brewed a pot of tea with the tea leaves Matriarch Fu gave her and sent it to the hall.
After pouring tea for the three of them, she sat down beside Lu Zhou and looked at Shangguan Dian suspiciously.
“Master, is he from the Demon Realm?”
Although Shangguan Dian did not smell like an Illusory Demon or a Red Dog, his self-introduction just now included the term ‘Demon Realm’, which made Lu Sheng suspicious.
