“Master, calm down. Please sit down first.”
Lu Sheng stood up and pulled him back to his seat before saying, “We still have things to do here. If you go now, I’m afraid you’ll spoil my plan to expose the wicked.”
“Plan to expose the wicked?” Lu Zhou frowned. “What plan is this?”
Lu Sheng smiled and told him about what happened at Dongfang Mansion.
Lu Zhou snorted. “Fine. When this is done, you have to bring me to that person.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Definitely!”
She picked up the wine pot and poured another cup for Lu Zhou, but she couldn’t help but look outside.
“By the way, why are you here alone?”
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you have a conflict with your Lord Chu?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him. “Lord and I are fine.”
Just as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Lord must be back!”
When Lu Zhou heard this, he looked over in confusion. The door was gently pushed open and a slender figure walked in.
Looking closely, it was indeed Chu Sihan.
“Lord, you’re back. Have you settled everything?”
Lu Sheng stood up to welcome him with a smile.
Chu Sihan nodded. “Yes, I’ve asked Chu Yun and the others to send the corpses to the capital. The officials will also give some compensation to the families of the victims.”
He looked up at Lu Zhou and raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Why is Uncle-Master Lu here?”
Lu Zhou looked at him suspiciously.
Didn’t this kid usually address him as Third Prince? Why was he calling him Uncle-Master now?
Wasn’t he afraid that the little girl would find out?
As if seeing through his doubts, Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng walked back. After they sat down, they said, “Last night, I brought Sheng Sheng to the Netherworld. We even went to see Official Lu together.”
Lu Zhou’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Lu Sheng guiltily.
However, he heard her say with a smile, “Master, I didn’t expect you to have relatives in the Netherworld, and they’re even high-ranking officials.”
Lu Zhou laughed dryly. “Your Uncle-Master is just a judge, not a high-ranking official.”
He did not know if that silly fellow had told her about the little girl’s identity. He only hoped that she would not believe him.
“Little girl, your Uncle-Master… didn’t say anything to you, right?” Lu Zhou probed carefully.
“Nothing much. He just wanted to know how you’ve been recently. He even gave me two porcelain bottles.”
Speaking of this, Lu Sheng said in a strange tone, “Master, that so-called Yuan Dynasty’s blue and white porcelain is actually so valuable. I used it to make pickled vegetables in the past. Why didn’t you remind me?”
She wondered if it was still valuable after she washed it up.
Lu Zhou sighed in relief.
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, he said indifferently, “Anyway, your Uncle-Master has a bunch of them. You can store whatever you want.”
“I heard that selling Yuan Dynasty’s blue and white porcelain here is worth ten thousand taels.”
Lu Sheng shifted her chair closer to Lu Zhou and said with a grin, “Master, do you have any extra?”
Lu Zhou sneered, “Don’t even think about it. Who told you that you could sell it for ten thousand taels?”
“Lord!”
Lu Sheng blurted out without thinking.
Lu Zhou glanced at Chu Sihan and narrowed his eyes. “Little nephew, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. You can’t talk nonsense just to make my disciple happy.”
“Nonsense?”
Lu Sheng was stunned and looked at Chu Sihan in confusion.
Chu Sihan coughed lightly and explained calmly, “Logically speaking, if these blue and white porcelain were to be sold in this dynasty, it would indeed be worth a lot of money. However, due to historical reasons, some things cannot be casually auctioned.”
