Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 120 - The Town Gate Was Open

Chapter 120: The Town Gate Was Open

Zheng Village?

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. If she remembered correctly, Mdm Zheng was from Zheng Village.

Previously, Mdm Zheng said that she wanted to arrange a ‘good marriage’ for her. She also said that the other party was willing to give her a betrothal gift of twenty taels.

It was only later on that she realized that the family only had one son, and he was a fool.

Could it be that the betrothal gift had increased because he was not married yet?

A woman walked forward and sneered. “How can there be such a good thing in this world? Zhang Xiaohua is already twenty-two years old, but she’s still unmarried. If someone wants her, the Zhang family should cover their mouths and laugh secretly. There must be some unspeakable secret for them to even give a betrothal gift of thirty taels.”

He Qin smiled lightly. “Thank you, Granny Su and Aunt Dong, for your reminder. If anything happens to the Zhang family in the future, please testify for me.”

“Don’t worry!”

Aunt Dong smiled and waved her hands. “Everyone knows what the Zhang family is like.”

He Qin nodded.

He had just sent the two elders away when He Lai walked over.

“Lu Sheng, shall we go?”

Carrying his book, he rubbed his hands and asked Lu Sheng with a smile.

“Let’s go after breakfast.”

Mdm Zhao stuck her head out of the kitchen and greeted them. “I just made some noodles. They’re hot. Ah Lai, try a bowl too.”

The morning air was chilly, and the plants were covered in cold dew. When people spoke, their mouths emitted white steam.

Mdm Zhao made a big pot of noodles with minced meat and scallions. They tasted good and He Lai, who had already eaten plain porridge, ate two bowls.

Even Lu Jiang and Lu Xin ate a full bowl each.

“Grandma doesn’t have anything delicious here. I just told your uncle to pluck a bag of pears. Remember to take them later.”

Mdm Zhao spoke kindly to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay.”

She had not eaten what Aunt Lian brought yesterday.

“Lu Sheng, why don’t you stay for two more days?” suggested He Qin.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “Next time. I still have a few things to attend to at home. I can’t stay for long.”

When He Qin heard that, he could only nod.

Lu Sheng held Lu Jiang’s and Lu Xin’s hands and bade farewell to Mdm Zhao and He Qin before leaving with He Lai.

When they pa.s.sed by Liu Yue Village, Lu Sheng sent the two children home before continuing her journey with He Lai to town.

“I wonder if the town gate has really opened.”

He Lai lifted the curtain and mumbled as he looked in front.

At this moment, an ox cart appeared in their line of sight.

“Uncle, where did you come from?”

When she reached the ox cart, Lu Sheng stopped the carriage and asked.

The coachman smiled. “I just came back from town.”

“Is the town gate open?” Lu Sheng asked.

The coachman replied, “Yes, yes. The door was opened this morning. I was about to go back and fetch people.”

“Okay!”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded at the coachman before continuing her journey on the carriage.

“It seems like Xiao Dong is right. Lord Chu has returned.”

He Lai then pursed his lips and sighed. “If only I could see Lord Chu once.”

“Cousin, you want to see Lord Chu so badly?” Lu Sheng asked with her eyebrow raised.

“Who doesn’t want to see him if they could?” He Lai scratched his nose and said, “When Lord Chu was young, he studied in our school for a year before going to the capital. It was said that he entered the Fu family’s private school to study. I heard from my cla.s.smates who came from the capital that many descendants of the prestigious families want to study in the Fu family’s private school now.”

Lu Sheng saw how he talked non-stop every time they talked about Chu Sihan. It was as if he was talking about his life as he chased after a celebrity.

She chuckled. “If you want to see him, I can bring you to meet him.”
