Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 493 - Bridal Chamber

Chapter 493: Bridal Chamber

When Lu Sheng spoke, the room fell silent.

Xiao Cai trembled as she looked at Matriarch Chu and Mdm Chu. She did not expect them to be in a daze.

Su Wen and Su s.h.i.+ did not dare to breathe loudly.

This new Young Madam did not seem to be simple.

“Why?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Do you need me to scoop it myself?”

“No… No need. I’ll go!”

Xiao Cai got up from the ground and stumbled out.

Shangguan Linger glared at her and turned to escape. Lu Sheng’s body flashed and she blocked her path.

“Miss Shangguan is already in a hurry to leave before drinking the soup?”

Shangguan Linger was so scared by her sudden appearance that she froze on the spot.

“What… what do you want?”

She thought that Lu Sheng was easy to bully. Now, she suddenly felt that she was wrong.

This countryside girl whom she had never taken seriously actually had such a strong aura.

Her expression was faint, but it gave her a sense of oppression.

“What do I want to do?”

Lu Sheng smiled sweetly. “Of course, it’s to give you a taste of your own medicine.”

“Enough.”

Mdm Chu frowned. “Today is your big day. The guests are still in the front hall. If you do this and lure the other guests over, won’t the Chu Mansion be embarra.s.sed?”

“The Chu Mansion will be embarra.s.sed?”

Lu Sheng sneered and turned around to look at her. “I’m not the one who did anything wrong. How did I bring shame to the Chu Mansion?”

“Didn’t you not drink the soup? Let people off when possible.”

Mdm Chu, who was reb.u.t.ted, was very unhappy.

This girl dared to go against her on her first day in the family. What would happen in the future?

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Sorry, Mdm Chu. I’m a petty person. I’m not that n.o.ble.”

“You—”

Mdm Chu wanted to say something, but Matriarch Chu dissuaded her with her eyes.

“Sheng Sheng, we still have some matters to attend to in the front hall, so we won’t stay any longer. I’ll leave this to you.”

Lu Sheng smiled in satisfaction. “Goodbye, Matriarch Chu.”

Mdm Chu was very unhappy when Matriarch Chu pulled her out of the house.

“Mother, although the Shangguan family is no longer the same as before, the two families still have some ties. If we let her do this, how are we going to face the Shangguan family in the future?”

“Hah!” Matriarch Chu snorted coldly. “That was Shangguan Linger’s own fault. If she didn’t want to harm my granddaughter-in-law, would she have treated her like that? Don’t worry about this.”

“But…”

“Eh?”

Matriarch Chu looked over with a stern gaze, scaring Mdm Chu so much that she hurriedly shut her mouth.

Xiao Cai brought the chicken soup over quickly.

Lu Sheng received it and stirred it with a spoon. Then, she placed it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. Seeing that it was indeed chicken soup, she returned it Xiao Cai and said lightly, “Let her drink it.”

“How dare you? You… Oh—”

Shangguan Linger wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be strangled and she could not speak.

Lu Sheng sat at the side, poured herself a gla.s.s of wine, and downed it. Then, she looked up at Xiao Cai.

“Why? You can’t bear to do it?”

How could she not know what Xiao Cai was worried about?

As the saying goes, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the Shangguan family was not as good as before, they were still a hundred times better than Xiao Cai’s family.

“If you don’t feed her, drink it yourself.”

Xiao Cai was shocked and said hurriedly, “I’ll feed her!”

She had just gotten married not long ago and did not want to lose the chance to have children.

Shangguan Linger wanted to struggle, but she could not move her limbs. She could only watch with widened eyes as Xiao Cai approached her step by step.

Her eyes darted around and she looked at Lu Sheng in horror. She kept shouting ‘demon’ in her heart.

“Sorry, Miss Shangguan. I was forced by you!”

After Xiao Cai finished speaking, she sent spoonful after spoonful into Shangguan Linger’s mouth with trembling hands.

“Sob—”

Shangguan Linger’s cheeks streamed with tears, but she could not move at all. Moreover, no matter how hard she tried, she could not spit out the chicken soup that Xiao Cai fed her.

It was as if someone was controlling her and making her swallow every drop.

s.h.i.+ Wen had retreated silently and even closed the door.

After finis.h.i.+ng the chicken soup, Shangguan Linger collapsed to the ground in despair.

“You can go out.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, she threw a pouch to Xiao Cai.

Holding the pouch, Xiao Cai looked at her in confusion.

Lu Sheng said without lifting her head, “This is for your family to leave Huang Yang Town.”

Xiao Cai was stunned. It was as if she could not believe that Lu Sheng would really let her go and even pay the travel expenses.

“Why?” Lu Sheng looked up. “You’re unwilling to leave?”

“I thank Young Madam, but…”

Xiao Cai’s gaze darkened. “My deed is still with Mdm. I can’t leave.”

“Leave this to me. You can leave now.”

“Thank you, Young Madam!”

Xiao Cai knelt down and kowtowed to her three times before leaving with the bowl.

Shangguan Linger felt that she could move. She suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced at Lu Sheng. “Lu Sheng, I’m going to kill you!”

However, before she could reach Lu Sheng, she was already pulled back.

She looked back in horror, but saw nothing.

“Demon! You’re a demon!”

She looked at Lu Sheng in horror and mumbled.

“Demon?” Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. “If I were a demon, I would definitely eat you first.”

Shangguan Linger glared at her and shouted fiercely, “My father won’t let you off!”

“Your father?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “That depends on whether he dares to touch me.”

She stood up and faced Shangguan Linger. She said lightly, “My husband is the magistrate. My master is the Third Prince of Xuan Yue Country. Do you think your father will offend them for you?”

Shangguan Linger’s face turned from red to white and then back to green.

Lu Sheng was right. Her father did not dare to.

She had nothing now. After drinking the childless soup, even if she married in the future, she would definitely not have a good life.

“How does it feel to suffer a double loss?”

Lu Sheng walked back to the table and sat down. “If you had married Chu Silin obediently, you wouldn’t have ended up like today.”

Shangguan Linger really regretted it now. She should not have let Xiao Cai send childless soup to Lu Sheng out of indignation.

Now, she was left with nothing left. Not only could she not marry Chu Sihan, but she also could not marry Chu Silin.

The scariest thing was that she did not even have the chance to be a mother.

She suddenly reached a finger into her throat, wanting to throw up the chicken soup.

However, no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. Even though she was crying, she did not spit out anything.

Lu Sheng clicked her tongue and was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Chu Sihan, who was dressed in red, walked in with a cold expression.

When Shangguan Linger saw him, she seemed to have seen her savior. She hurried forward and said, “Brother Sihan, this woman is a demon. You can’t marry her!”

“Really?”

Chu Sihan closed the door expressionlessly. He stared at her, his deep eyes gradually turning red.

Shangguan Linger, who witnessed this change, widened her mouth. In the end, even her eyes widened.

“You… You… Ah!”

Chu Sihan strangled her neck and asked lightly, “She’s a demon. Look at what I am.”

Shangguan Linger only felt a wave of suffocation. She seemed to have suffered a great shock and forgot to struggle. She only stared at Chu Sihan in a daze.

“Sihan, forget it.”

Lu Sheng stood up and walked over. She persuaded, “She has already received her punishment. If you strangle her like this, you will only benefit her.”

When Chu Sihan heard that, he slammed Shangguan Linger against the door.

“Demons! Demons!”

Shangguan Linger curled up at the door and looked at the two of them trembling.

Chu Sihan waved his hand and she fainted immediately.

“Men, throw her back to the Shangguan family.”

Just as Chu Sihan finished speaking, Su Wen and Su s.h.i.+ had already opened the door and walked in.

The duo helped Shangguan Linger up and walked out.

“Are you alright?”

When the room regained its peace, Chu Sihan held her waist and asked as he walked to the bed.

When he heard his grandmother’s words, he abandoned the group of guests and rushed over.

“What can happen to me? Shangguan Linger’s tricks can’t deal with me!”

After speaking, she suddenly stopped and looked up at him. “Speaking of which, this is the love debt you owed. You almost caused me to be harmed.”

“Wife, please be wise!” Chu Sihan said aggrievedly, “I don’t have one!”

Lu Sheng chuckled and sat back on the couch alone. “It’s alright here now. Continue accompanying the guests.”

“No.”

He sat down beside her and said in a low voice, “I didn’t intend to go back after returning this time.”

“You’re not going back?”

Lu Sheng was shocked. “Then why are you staying?”

“Of course, I’m staying…”

He whispered into her ear, “To do something naughty.”

Before Lu Sheng could react, she was pulled back by a force and she fell backwards.

“You… I… I haven’t washed up yet. It’s so hot today… It’s… better… to wash up first!”

She felt her body heat up, especially her face. It was as if it was on fire.

A stifled laughter suddenly sounded beside her ear, and the strong smell of alcohol wafted to her nose.

Lu Sheng wouldn’t get drunk if she drank alcohol. However, when she smelled this, her head felt groggy, as if she was drunk.

That person planted a shallow kiss on her ear before sitting up. He said in a low voice, “Lie down first. I’ll get someone to prepare water.”

“…Okay!”

She nodded in a daze.

When there was no one in the room, she heaved a sigh of relief. She hurriedly climbed up and used her hands to fan her face.

She took a few deep breaths until she felt that it was not so hot. Then, she stopped.

After a while, a few elderly women walked in with water. They bowed to her before carrying the water to the bathroom.

Then, two servants carrying flower petals walked in.

Lu Sheng glanced behind the two servants, but did not see Chu Sihan.

She raised an eyebrow and walked to the bathroom. “Where’s the Lord?”

“Young Madam, the Lord said that Young Madam should take a bath first. He went back to accompany the guests.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Hearing that Chu Sihan had returned to the banquet, her anxious heart was relieved.

After filling the bathtub with water, the two elderly women carried the bucket out. The two servants scattered the flower petals in the bathtub.

One of them walked over and reached out to remove Lu Sheng’s clothes. Lu Sheng was so scared that she hurriedly retreated.

The servant was stunned and looked at her in confusion.

“I’ll do it myself. You guys can leave first.”

The two servants thought that she was shy. They looked at each other and smiled. They hurriedly bowed and said, “We’re outside. If Young Madam has anything, call us over.”

“Alright.” Lu Sheng nodded faintly.

After the two of them left, she started to remove her wedding robe.

When she came out from the bathroom, Chu Sihan was not back yet.

She woke up too early this morning. After taking a bath, she suddenly felt a little tired.

She returned to the couch and closed her eyes to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep just like that.

When she opened her eyes again, Chu Sihan had already changed his clothes and was sitting in front of the tea table.

“You’re awake?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Yes.” She rubbed her eyes and asked in a relaxed voice, “What time is it?”

“It’s seven in the evening.”

Chu Sihan walked over with two gla.s.ses of wine and pa.s.sed one to her.

Lu Sheng glanced at him and received it in a daze.

Chu Sihan no longer had the strong smell of alcohol from earlier in the day, but a faint fragrance of white orchids.

He must have bathed.

“Wife, it’s time to drink cross-cupped wine.”

His voice was very low and slow, with a hint of attractive hoa.r.s.eness. It was like beautiful wine, intoxicating.

His hand reached over and hooked her wrist. In the end, he bewitched her to drink with him.

He took the empty wine gla.s.s back to the table and walked towards her.

Lu Sheng felt her entire body trembling. She could not move even if she wanted to. She could only sit at her original spot in a daze and wait for him to approach.

“Sheng Sheng…”

He bent down and pressed the tip of his nose against hers, calling her name softly.

Her breathing paused and she clutched the blanket tightly, her heart in a mess.

“Lord… Lord!”

“Eh?”

He replied softly and looked at her with bright red eyes.

Neither of them spoke again.

Just as Lu Sheng thought that they would stare at each other until dawn, his kiss landed.

She had already forgotten when she lay back on the couch. When she regained her senses, the man on top of her had already pressed his body tightly against hers. His kisses traveled from her forehead to her lips.

His kisses were not hurried. They were as gentle as spring water, causing her to unknowingly fall into it and forget the unknown fear.

Her soft arms slowly wrapped around his neck, allowing him to claim her body.

…

It suddenly rained in the courtyard. The rain beat against the banana leaves and played a beautiful tune.

When Lu Sheng woke up, the sky had just turned white.

The person beside her was still asleep. When she heard his shallow breathing, she felt inexplicably warm.

She smiled and lay down. Holding her head, she sized up his eyes.

“Wife, have you admired enough?”

He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Lu Sheng hurriedly retracted her gaze and sat up, preparing to get off the bed.

However, just as she sat up, someone suddenly hugged her waist and pulled her over.

She exclaimed and fell onto Chu Sihan.

Recalling the intimate scene last night, her face reddened immediately.

“I… I still have to serve tea. I need to get up early and make preparations.”

“No hurry! Sleep a while more.”

He hugged her silently and closed his eyes again.
