Chapter 512: Dongfang Yuechu’s Dream
Chu Sihan had already told Yun Ting in advance not to send them off.
However, the next morning, when the two of them left the city gate, they saw Yun Ting and the rest.
Other than Yun Ting and Fu Sisi, there were also s.h.i.+ Yi, Yu Mingyue, and Dongfang Yuechu.
“Miss Lu, no, it should be Young Madam Chu.”
Dongfang Yuechu walked forward and smiled at Lu Sheng.
“Why is Miss Dongfang here too?” Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
Dongfang Yuechu was already six months pregnant. She was standing beside Yu Mingyue with her bulging stomach.
Yu Mingyue smiled and explained, “I told her not to come, but she insisted on coming. She said that you were going back and it would be difficult for us to meet again in the future.”
During Lu Sheng’s time in the capital, she often gathered with Yu Mingyue and Dongfang Yuechu, so they still had feelings for each other.
Dongfang Mingyue hugged her lightly and said in a low voice, “Take care.”
Lu Sheng hugged her back and nodded with a smile.
Chu Sihan, who was speaking to Yun Ting at the same time, turned his head and saw this scene. He could not help but frown.
“Really, Brother Chu?” Seeing his expression, s.h.i.+ Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Yun Ting had just chuckled when he saw Fu Sisi hugging Lu Sheng. His laughter stopped abruptly.
Chu Sihan sneered and the frustration in his heart dissipated.
In comparison, s.h.i.+ Yi acted more normally.
Looking at his wife hugging Lu Sheng, his face was still full of smiles.
“I don’t know if I should say something,” Dongfang Yuechu suddenly said with a grave expression.
“Miss Dongfang, please speak your mind.”
After obtaining Lu Sheng’s permission, Dongfang Yuechu said in a low voice, “I had a strange dream yesterday. In the dream…”
She paused and looked at Lu Sheng silently for a long time.
“What happened in the dream?” Yu Mingyue was curious.
“In my dream, I saw Miss Lu’s heart being ripped out by a man in black and she collapsed in a pool of blood.”
Dongfang Yuechu hurriedly explained, “I don’t know why, but I suddenly had such a dream.”
She and Lu Sheng were not enemies. Moreover, she liked Lu Sheng a lot. She did not know why she had such a dream.
When Lu Sheng heard this dream, her face paled.
She remembered her dream last year. However, in her dream, she saw Chu Sihan’s heart being ripped out in order to save her.
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Sihan realized that Lu Sheng’s expression was amiss and hurried forward to ask.
Lu Sheng did not tell Chu Sihan about the nightmare back then, so he did not know what she was afraid of.
“Cousin-in-law, dreams are the opposite.”
Fu Sisi thought that Lu Sheng was shocked by this dream and hurriedly consoled her.
The rest persuaded her.
Lu Sheng regained her senses and suppressed the lingering fear in her heart. She forced a smile at everyone. “I’m fine. I was just distracted.”
“I didn’t mean to tell you about this dream. I was just afraid that this would be a bad omen. I told you so that you would be more careful recently.”
Dongfang Yuechu explained guiltily.
“It’s not your fault. We can’t control our dreams.”
Lu Sheng smiled and continued, “Thank you for telling me about this dream!”
She might not think much of her own dream, but if someone else had dreamed a dream that was extremely similar to hers, it was definitely not for no reason.
Moreover, Dongfang Yuechu was pregnant now. A pregnant woman’s intuition was sometimes very accurate.
After Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan bade everyone farewell, they boarded the carriage and left.
Dongfang Yuechu stared at the departing carriage with a frown.
“Sister-in-law, are you alright?”
s.h.i.+ Yi looked at her suspiciously. He kept feeling that Dongfang Yuechu’s expression was a bit grave.
When Yu Mingyue heard s.h.i.+ Yi’s question, she hurriedly looked at Dongfang Yuechu.
“I don’t know why, but I always panic.”
Dongfang Yuechu clutched her chest and mumbled, “I keep feeling like we won’t meet again after this farewell.”
“Bah—”
When Fu Sisi heard that, she spat a few times and said, “Young Madam s.h.i.+ should not say such inauspicious words.”
“Miss Fu, you’ve misunderstood!”
Dongfang Yuechu said apologetically, “Miss Lu is my benefactor. If not for her, I’m afraid I would have died a long time ago. I naturally hope that she can be well and live a long life, but…”
She frowned slightly and said helplessly, “Ever since that dream, I’ve been feeling very uneasy.”
“Perhaps it’s because you didn’t rest well,” Fu Sisi said softly.
“Maybe!”
Dongfang Yuechu looked up again and stared in the direction where the carriage had left. She clutched her chest lightly.
—————
On the carriage, Chu Sihan stared at Lu Sheng’s profile, his eyes filled with confusion.
Lu Sheng was not the kind of person who would panic when others dreamed of her death.
However, her reaction today was really strange. It seemed like she cared a lot about Dongfang Yuechu’s dream.
Ever since they boarded the carriage, they had been silent. She lowered her head, seemingly thinking about something.
“Is there… something special about Young Madam s.h.i.+’s dream?”
After a long silence, Chu Sihan finally could not help but break the silence.
Lu Sheng suddenly looked up at him. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, “Ah Han, what do you think it means if someone else had a dream that was extremely similar to yours?”
Chu Sihan was slightly stunned. After a while, he said, “You’re saying that you’ve dreamed of Young Madam s.h.i.+’s dream before?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, but the person who collapsed in the blood was not me, but…”
She suddenly stopped.
Chu Sihan narrowed his eyes. “If it’s not you, who is it?”
Lu Sheng said casually, “He’s an old friend of mine.”
“That’s strange.” Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “In that case, there’s indeed something strange about this dream.”
He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we ask Father and Mother later and see what they say?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “That’s the only way.”
Now, even if she wanted to contact Lu Zhou, she could not. She could only ask the King of Hades and Lu Ying.
At night, the two of them and the coachman rested in an inn.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Sihan brought Lu Sheng into the Netherworld.
Lu Sheng had been here more than ten times in the past two years, so the guard had long known her.
Even the Red Spider Lilies in the Netherworld treated her better.
When they saw her approaching, their lights kept flickering, as if trying to please her.
Lu Sheng would stop and joke with them before leaving.
At the King of Hades’ Palace.
“Shenger, you’re saying that you had an extremely similar dream with your friend?”
Lu Ying hurriedly asked.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Moreover, I had this dream more than a year ago.”
“That’s strange.”
Lu Ying pondered for a moment and hurriedly looked at the King of Hades. She wanted to ask him for the reason, but she saw his grave expression.
“Father, do you know something?” Chu Sihan asked nervously.
The King of Hades looked at him and shook his head slightly. “No, I don’t have any leads for now.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Ying.
Lu Ying understood and hurriedly said to Lu Sheng, “Shenger, you haven’t wandered elsewhere in the Netherworld, right? I’ll bring you around.”
Lu Sheng looked at her suspiciously, but nodded. She stood up and followed her out of the hall.
Chu Sihan watched them leave and had an ominous feeling.
He suddenly turned back and asked the King of Hades, “Father, is something big going to happen?”
This was the first time his son asked him so carefully. This made the King of Hades feel uncomfortable.
He stood up and walked over. He patted Chu Sihan’s shoulder lightly and sighed.
However, his expression made Chu Sihan feel even more depressed.
“Father, what happened?”
Chu Sihan suppressed the fear in his heart and his voice trembled.
“Let me put it this way. I read your fortune just now and realized that your marriage in this lifetime… will break soon.”
Although it was cruel, the King of Hades felt that his son should know the truth.
Chu Sihan’s expression froze. After a long while, he mumbled, “Father, what do you mean?”
“Sigh—”
The King of Hades sighed again. “Fate is unpredictable. Even we can’t control it.”
“Father, please speak clearly.”
Chu Sihan clenched his fists and insisted on an accurate answer.
“Han Er, you’re a smart person. It’s impossible for you not to understand what I’m saying.”
The King of Hades frowned slightly and continued, “Initially, your fate should not be ending so quickly. However, for some reason, your love tribulation will end soon, and Xiao Sheng…”
The King of Hades paused and looked at him. He said in a low voice, “She will return to her original world soon.”
Chu Sihan’s face paled immediately. He blinked, tears flickering in his eyes.
“Why did this happen? Why did this happen?”
He thought that there was still a long way to go, but… his father told him that his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Sheng would end soon.
What should he do? What should he do to continue this relations.h.i.+p?
“Father, is there no other way?”
The King of Hades sighed and shook his head.
Even as the Lord of the Netherworld, he could not influence fate.
Of course, Lu Zhou could not decide either.
—————
Lu Sheng felt that Chu Sihan had been very strange recently. Ever since he returned from the Netherworld, he had been exceptionally clingy.
He followed her wherever she went. For the whole day, he practically circled around her.
“Ah Han, are you alright?”
The King of Hades and Lu Ying said that they did not know the reason for the dream.
However, Chu Sihan’s reaction made her feel that the King of Hades might know something but did not dare to let her know.
She asked Chu Sihan, but he would shake his head and say that he did not know either.
She asked what the King of Hades had said to him back then. He only said that the King of Hades instructed him to do something else that had nothing to do with her dream.
“I’m fine. What can happen to me?”
He stared at her and smiled faintly.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and snorted, not saying anything else.
After returning from the capital, Lu Sheng did not stay long in the Chu Mansion. She only stayed for two days before returning to the Lu family.
The following days were very peaceful. Chu Sihan was clingy as usual, but she did not ask much.
However, she had some ideas.
In the blink of an eye, another year had pa.s.sed. Today was Lu Ran and Leya’s big day.
Many big shots attended the wedding because of Chu Sihan.
Lu Sheng greeted the guests.
This joyous matter was considered complete.
When Lu Ran and Leya returned, Lu Sheng called all her relatives over.
The relatives were the He family.
Duan Xiang gave birth to a son. He was already five months old. He was fair and chubby, and he was very obedient. He smiled when he saw someone. He was very cute.
He Yan remarried to a young man from a nearby village. He was quite good-looking. Although his family background was not good, he had a good character.
Moreover, he treated her very well. When the two of them got married, they did not hold a big banquet. Both families only sat together for a simple meal.
Of course, this was He Yan’s request.
“Lu Sheng, do you have something to say by getting everyone here today?”
He Qin looked at Lu Sheng, who was playing with his son, and asked curiously.
In the past two years, the Lu family had opened a restaurant in each of the four cities in Huang Yang Town and hired shopkeepers. He Qin, Lu Ran, and the rest also retreated to the background.
Lu Sheng looked up and smiled at them. “It’s been hard on you all these years.”
“This child. Look at what you’re saying.” Mdm Xu glared at her and said, “They didn’t do it for nothing. Why was it hard on them?”
“Mother is right. It’s not hard on us,” He Lai said with a silly smile.
Lu Sheng looked at him and raised her eyebrows. “Uncle, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to settle down. Don’t let Xiao Dong run ahead of you.”
He Lai shrugged. “Fate is important in such matters. You can’t expect me to find a random girl, right?”
Lu Sheng chuckled. “Your thinking is quite forward. Not bad. Then, I’ll wish Uncle Lai success in finding the girl in his dream!”
He Lai smiled and waved his hand.
Lu Sheng looked at everyone and smiled. “There’s nothing special about letting everyone come today. I just hope that everyone can be healthy and safe in the future.”
Lu Ran looked at Lu Sheng and felt that something was amiss.
She had previously pa.s.sed all those valuable items to him. Now, she was saying these baffling words again. It felt like she was saying goodbye to them.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
Chu Sihan suddenly stood up and left before anyone could ask further.
No one noticed that when he turned around, tears flowed from his eyes.
He felt that his girl seemed to know something.
Lu Sheng looked at his back gloomily. When she turned back, a smile appeared on her face.
He Hu smiled and said, “That’s what we should do. In the past, I was healthy even when I was leading a bad life. Now that I’m leading a good life, I have to be healthier.”
“Grandpa is right!”
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.
He Qin and He Zhang stared at Lu Sheng thoughtfully, as if they wanted to see something from her expression.
However, after looking for a long time, they did not see anything amiss.
Chu Sihan did not return after leaving. Lu Sheng only went out to find him at meal time.
When Lu Sheng found him, he was sitting by the pond in the backyard in a daze.
“I realized that you like to daydream recently.”
She walked forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning her head against it.
Chu Sihan regained his senses and reached out to hold her hand. He did not speak.
The two of them were silent for a while before Lu Sheng stood up and said softly, “Let’s go back and eat. Don’t let Grandma and the rest wait too long.”
“Okay.”
Chu Sihan stood up and pulled her to the front courtyard.
The two of them tacitly did not ask each other what they were thinking.
