“Go back to the magistrate court first. I’ll bring you out to shop after you’ve rested.”
Chu Sihan’s words interrupted Lu Sheng’s thoughts of continuing shopping.
She glanced at the group of people who were nearing the ‘national treasures’ and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Lin Jiang Mansion was not small. Thankfully, it was not far from the bustling city.
The guards in the magistrate court were extremely curious when they saw their lord, who was full of self-love and was a loner, suddenly bring back a woman.
“Didn’t you say that Lord returned to Huang Yang Town to break off the engagement on top of investigating the Deng Mansion murder case? Why did he suddenly bring a woman back?”
Someone became curious and boldly asked Chu Yun.
After Chu Yun scolded them, he secretly told them that the lady was the Lord’s fiancée.
In the end, in the blink of an eye, the news of the Lord bringing his fiancée back spread like wildfire to the entire magistrate court.
Hence, in order to see his ‘future wife’, some strange phenomena happened next.
For example, no matter where Lu Sheng went, she would be secretly followed by a few people.
When she turned back, those people pretended to talk again.
However, when they saw Lu Sheng’s face, the guards could not help but sigh together, saying things like they were a perfect match made in heaven.
This phenomenon only disappeared when Chu Sihan personally issued a warning.
The magistrate court was very solemn, imposing, and boring.
Other than some elderly women, there was not a single young woman in sight.
The next day.
As Chu Sihan wanted to pass the valuables over, he left Lu Sheng alone in the mansion to shop.
Knowing that she knew her limits, he was not afraid that she would cause trouble for him.
Lu Sheng walked to a lotus pond. She sat in the pavilion and dozed off.
However, at this moment, the sound of something being thrown into the water was heard.
She opened her eyes suddenly and saw two children standing by the river. They were fighting to throw stones into the pond.
Afraid that she would be implicated, Lu Sheng quickly stood up and left.
However, not long after she left, she heard a scream from behind.
When she returned, she realized that one of the children had unknowingly landed in the lotus pond.
As for the child on the shore, he was laughing out loud.
Seeing the child struggle in the water, Lu Sheng’s expression changed.
Without thinking, she jumped into the lotus pond and saved the child.
When she carried the child ashore, Chu Yun rushed over.
“Miss Lu, what happened?”
The child burst into tears and hugged Lu Sheng, crying his heart out.
Lu Sheng wiped the water off her face and said faintly, “He might have accidentally fallen into the water.”
“He pushed me! He pushed me!”
The child wept and pointed at the other child.
“Young Master Jiang?”
Chu Yun’s eyes flickered and he looked troubled.
“What nonsense are you saying?!”
A woman hurried over and patted the child’s back in reprimand. Then, she thanked Lu Sheng.
“Thank you, Miss, for saving this old servant’s grandson. This brat is very naughty. Perhaps he slipped and fell. It has nothing to do with Young Master Jiang.”
After speaking, the woman hugged the child and apologized to Young Master Jiang before leaving in a hurry.
Jiang Shun lifted his chin and looked at Lu Sheng. He snorted coldly and followed a servant to another direction.
Lu Sheng frowned and asked Chu Yun. “Who is this Young Master Jiang?”
If no one dared to discipline such a tyrant, wouldn’t he become lawless in the future?
