Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 82 - Perfect Timing

Chapter 82: Perfect Timing

It was a moonless night, and only a few stars were visible among the clouds.

Everyone was sound asleep, and the occasional barking could be heard.

“Ouch, my hand!”

One of them was. .h.i.t by the fallen man. His arm was pinned under the man’s body and he could not help but exclaim softly.

“Ghost! There’s a ghost on the wall!”

After getting up, the burly man could not care less about his sprained ankle and escaped in a hurry.

“What ghost? Where’s the ghost? Stop making a fuss.”

Lu Chuan refused to believe it and climbed up. However, not long later, everyone in Liu Yue Village heard his screams.

The people below had long been prepared and went to hide by the side.

Lu Chuan did not have anyone to cus.h.i.+on his fall but he could not speak. He could only stare at the wall with his mouth agape.

All the nearby houses lit up, and Liang Ping and Mdm Chen walked out holding their lamps.

The men saw that something was amiss and ran away, leaving behind Lu Chuan, who could not get up immediately.

“Lu Chuan, why are you here?”

Liang Ping looked at Lu Chuan, then at the wooden ladder on the wall. His expression could not help but turn cold.

A nearby aunt said, “When I came over just now, I saw a few strangers leave. Was Lu Chuan trying to steal Lu Sheng’s items?”

“Ghost! A ghost!”

After Lu Chuan could move, he suddenly climbed up and yelled, wanting to escape. However, he was caught by Liang Ping.

Lu Sheng also opened the door and walked out. When she saw the crowd outside, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “What happened? Who was the one screaming outside?”

“Lu Sheng, you came at the right time.” Liang Ping threw the terrified Lu Chuan to the ground and said angrily, “He brought a few men and a wooden ladder. I wonder what he wants to steal from your house.”

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Chuan, who was cowering. He kept calling out that there was a ghost. She frowned.

Did he not get enough beatings in the morning? How dare he climb her wall in the middle of the night?!

“What’s this?”

Mdm Chen picked up an object that had fallen into a corner.

Lu Sheng received it and placed it at the tip of her nose. She sniffed it and scoffed. “These are knockout drops.”

“Knockout drops?”

Everyone was shocked.

“Lu Chuan, what else do you have to say?”

When Li Zheng, who rushed over in a hurry, heard this, he became so angry that he almost kicked Lu Chuan.

“I… I…”

Lu Chuan regained his senses and looked at the empty wall, then back at Lu Sheng.

However, he saw Lu Sheng, who was carrying a lamp, with a few black figures standing behind her. His eyes immediately rolled backwards and he fainted from the shock.

Lu Sheng glanced at him expressionlessly and said to the crowd, “My cousin interrupted everyone’s beautiful dreams in the middle of the night. I’m so sorry.”

An older man placed his hands on his waist and huffed. “Lu Chuan is such a sc.u.mbag! We’re all relatives. He actually brought people here to steal in the middle of the night. I think we should send him to the officials.”

When Mdm Zheng and Lu Daming, who initially wanted to join in the fun, heard their son’s name, their expressions changed drastically.

“You two came at the right time.”

Li Zheng said with a cold face, “As Lu Sheng’s cousin, Lu Chuan stole things from the Lu family with outsiders while there were no elders present. He even brought knockout drops. What else do you have to say?”

The duo shuddered in fear when they heard that.

After the previous incident, they knew that Lu Sheng was not as easy to bully as she used to be.

They had also warned their son a few times. They did not expect him to not listen to them and even bring men to steal Lu Sheng’s items.
