Chapter 122: The Chu Mansion

When the carriage entered the Chu Mansion, the beautiful scenery greeted Lu Sheng.

There were multiple pavilions. The green tiles and crimson roofs were different from the Yu Mansion’s elegance, which made the Chu Mansion look even more luxurious.

After seeing the solemn magistrate court of Lin Jiang Mansion, the Chu Mansion looked even more luxurious and beautiful.

Lu Sheng felt that this place did not fit Chu Sihan.

In her impression, Chu Sihan should live in a quiet and dignified courtyard, not in this exaggerated environment.

The Chu family’s ancestors were mostly in business and had a lot of wealth. Even in the capital, few families could compare to them.

Otherwise, as the mighty Prime Minister’s sister, Mdm Chu would not have married into a small town.

“Where are we?”

He Lai waited for the carriage to enter the Chu Mansion before alighting. Hence, he did not see the words ‘Chu Mansion’ on the door.

However, he was shocked by the bustling scene before him.

“Chu…”

Before Lu Sheng could finish her sentence, a group of people walked over.

“Greetings, Madam!”

Chu Yun bowed his head slightly.

Mdm Chu nodded and her gaze landed on Lu Sheng and He Lai, who were behind him.

Lu Sheng was wearing a heavenly jade outfit today, which made her fair skin look even more tender and smoother.

Her hair was tied up with a hair tie of the same color, and was hanging loosely at her back.

A few strands of messy hair were pasted on her forehead. Her lips curved upwards and her bright eyes seemed to be smiling, making her look very unbridled.

She stood there and bowed to Mdm Chu calmly.

Compared to her composure, He Lai seemed more restrained.

After he bowed, he did not even dare to breathe heavily.

Chu Yun turned his head and glanced at Lu Sheng. Admiration flashed across his eyes.

It was no wonder that the Lord had taken a liking to her. Even though it was her first time facing Madam, she remained calm and composed.

“Miss, we meet again.”

Shangguan Linger looked at her with hostility, but there was a gentle smile on her face.

Lu Sheng nodded at her, not intending to get close to her.

“Oh?”

Mdm Chu, who was sizing Lu Sheng up, looked at Shangguan Linger in surprise and asked, “Linger, you know this lady?”

“I heard from Young Master Lin that she is his future master.”

Young Master Lin?

Lu Sheng was suspicious. Who was this?

A youth’s face flashed across her mind and she frowned.

Afraid that something would happen, Chu Yun quickly said, “Madam, the Lord is waiting for me.”

Then, he gestured for Lu Sheng and He Lai to follow him.

When she passed by Mdm Chu, Lu Sheng bowed politely to her before taking big strides.

Mdm Chu turned back and stared at her back thoughtfully.

“Could it be her?”

Her muttering was heard by Shangguan Linger, who was holding her arm.

“Auntie knows her too?”

Mdm Chu shook her head. “I’m seeing her for the first time.”

“Madam, that seems to be Miss Lu.”

Nanny Kong, who was following Mdm Chu, spoke softly.

She had previously followed Housekeeper Chu to the Lu Family on Mdm Chu’s orders.

She had seen Lu Sheng before. However, she was wearing an old shirt back then and her head was lowered. She was very shy and had a very different personality from today.

However, that outstanding face left a deep impression on Nanny Kong.

“Miss Lu?”

Shangguan Linger’s body stiffened. “Nanny Kong, you’re referring to the farm girl Brother Sihan wanted to marry previously?”

How was that possible?

How could a farm girl have such looks?

How could she afford to wear silk clothes that cost ten taels each?
