Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 154 - Tao Jia

Chapter 154: Tao Jia

The cold wind seemed to be stinging. When it blew, it was as if something had p.r.i.c.ked her skin, causing her to itch and hurt.

Lu Sheng was a rough person who didn’t observe rules and customs. She did not like to apply rouge or powder. Her cheeks would turn red in winter.

In her previous life on the mountain, her master would even make some skin nouris.h.i.+ng ointment for her.

In order to not torture herself, she would still apply some monotonous items.

It was a pity that her master had returned to the capital and no one made any skin nouris.h.i.+ng ointment for her.

She sent Liang Ping out of the village in the morning. When they left Hua Xiang Village, it was already afternoon.

It seemed like Liang Ping had gone back.

Indeed, Lu Ran was nowhere to be seen when she reached home. There were only two children at home.

“Second Sister, Aunt Fang sent some apples over. She said Brother Tao and Sister-in-law Tao came back with a lot of apples.”

Seeing her return, Lu Jiang, who was warming himself at the stove, hurried up to report.

“Oh? Brother Tao is back?” Lu Sheng was surprised.

From the owner’s memory, she knew Tao Jia and Mdm Qiu left just before May. Normally, they would only come back during the new year.

Why did they return so quickly?

Could it be that they missed Li Zheng and Aunt Fang?

This was not impossible. In her impression, Mdm Qiu was quite nice. She was warm and generous, and was good to Mdm Fang and Li Zheng.

Tao Jia was a filial person. Whenever he encountered anything delicious or good for one’s health, he would get someone to bring them back for his parents.

Lu Jiang nodded. “Yes, Aunt Fang also said that we don’t have to cook tonight. We can go to her house to eat.”

“Aunt Fang told you that?”

Lu Jiang shook his head. “I told Big Brother. He has agreed.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Although there was a five year age difference between Tao Jia and Lu Ran, they played quite well together when they were young. Usually, Tao Jia would bring Lu Ran along wherever he went.

Moreover, Tao Jia would usually invite Lu Ran over for a drink or two when he saw him at home.

This was also the reason why Li Zheng’s family took such good care of them.

“Okay, Second Sister understands.”

Lu Sheng nodded. After placing the carriage away, she returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Lu Ran returned just after lunch.

After lunch, he sat silently under the roof.

Lu Sheng looked at him suspiciously. In the end, she could not help but ask, “Big Brother, are you alright?”

Lu Ran seemed exceptionally silent today.

There was no black aura on him, so he was probably not possessed.

Lu Ran looked at her and hesitated.

He went to Uncle Liang’s grave with Liang Ping today. There was indeed water there.

Perhaps because of the recent heavy rain, water flowed down the mountain and entered Uncle Liang’s grave.

He and Liang Ping went to get a hoe today. They first weeded the gra.s.s and drained the water there before filling the small ditch in front of Uncle Liang’s grave.

“Brother, do you have anything to ask?”

Lu Sheng shook off the traces of water from was.h.i.+ng the dishes and asked him.

“Ah Sheng, how did you know that water entered Uncle Liang’s grave?”

Lu Ran thought about it and could not help but voice his doubts.

Lu Sheng looked at him like he was an idiot and said, “Uncle Liang said so himself. Weren’t you there last night?”

Lu Ran was speechless.

He was there, but he still didn’t want to take any chances.

How could there be ‘ghosts’ in this world?

Moreover, which expert taught his sister this skill?

“Did you not wear the talisman I gave you?” Lu Sheng asked nervously.

There was Yin energy in the tombs. Wandering souls liked to stay in those places sometimes.
