Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 94 - Cry About Being Poor

Chapter 94: Cry About Being Poor

“Master, please help me!”

Lu Sheng half-squatted on the ground. With tears in her eyes, she said with a sad expression, “When I’m here, not only do I have to pick feces, but I also have to plant vegetables. I’m exposed to the elements every day, and I’m almost like an African refugee.”

Lu Zhou looked at her tender face expressionlessly, which was still glowing under the candlelight. He did not speak for a long time.

After a while, he suggested, “My dear disciple, why don’t you go to the kitchen and find some charcoal? After you’re done, come and cry about being poor.”

His disciple’s lying skills had not changed at all.

He remembered that when she was six years old, she tricked him into bringing his white horse to the back of the hill to eat gra.s.s. In the end, she sneaked down the hill and fell into a deep pit.

If he had not arrived in time, she would have starved to death in the pit.

There was also that year when she was seven years old. She tricked him into believing that a weasel had entered the courtyard and stolen his hen.

Later on, when he was watering the plants, he discovered a pile of chicken feathers in the backyard. There were also chicken bones, a chicken’s head, and a chicken’s b.u.t.tocks hidden in the bushes. They were all cooked.

It was his first time seeing a weasel who could cook chicken.

When she was eight years old, she lied to him that she had a stomachache in order to escape her cultivation.

In the end, when he had finished cooking the medicine and sent it to her, she was lying on the bed. As she gnawed on her apple, she was laughing uncontrollably at the jokes.

There was also the time when she was nine or ten years old, and the subsequent years that followed.

However, despite being tricked countless times, Lu Zhou always believed in his disciple.

In the end, the result of believing it was being tricked every time.

However, he still enjoyed it.

He had no choice. This girl was his only relative.

Moreover, she was his biological daughter. If he did not spoil her, who would?

He would lie to her and tell her that he had raised her after picking her up from the mountainside.

The girl seemed to believe his words.

He also felt that it was easier for the girl to accept their master-disciple relations.h.i.+p than their father-daughter relations.h.i.+p.

She would not ask him who her biological mother was.

After all, that person was no longer around. There was no point in bringing it up.

“I’ve never seen such a stingy master.”

Lu Sheng stood up unhappily and immediately asked him to leave. “It’s almost dawn. Master, shouldn’t you leave?”

When Lu Zhou heard that, he quickly changed the topic and asked, “Didn’t you want to know if your Lord Chu’s death could be averted?”

Lu Sheng contemplated for a while before giving in.

She had no choice. Chu Sihan was the first friend she had made since she came to this world.

How could someone as loyal as her abandon her friend out of spite?

“Then… could it be averted?”

Lu Zhou contemplated and said, “Of course. You can give him the Fate-changing Talisman that I gave to you.”

He did not know this “Lord Chu” too well yet. Although they were on the same side, they had not interacted before. He could not just give the girl to him.

“Are you referring to the Fate-changing Talisman that you gave me?”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Lu Sheng giggled. “I knew Master would have a way.”

After knowing that Chu Sihan’s calamity could be averted, the resentment in Lu Sheng’s heart dissipated.

Lu Zhou sighed secretly. His little fox had finally grown up.

He untied his pouch and took out a few notes. Handing them to her, he said, “This is five thousand taels. Buy whatever you want. If it’s not enough, tell me.”

When Lu Sheng saw it, she was overwhelmed by the favor and received it. She smiled and thanked him. “Thank you, Master. I knew Master would not just watch me suffer.”

Lu Zhou glanced at her lightly and pa.s.sed her a jade token.

“I’ll be leaving first. If you need anything, take this token and find me at the Thousand Leaf Inn in town.”
