Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Nouveau Riche



Nouveau Riche

Outside the inn.     

A slender figure who was in a hurry suddenly stopped.     

This person was dressed in white and held a horsetail whisk. He wore a bamboo hat, causing others to be unable to see his face.     

However, everyone in the capital recognized him. He was the famous State Minister of Xuan Yue Country.     

"State Minister, why are you here?"     

When the shopkeeper saw the person outside, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.     

"Passing by."     

He replied faintly and looked at the inn through the veil. Then, he turned around and left.     

How strange. When he passed by just now, he clearly smelled demonic aura. Why was it gone now?     

Could he have escaped to another place?     

The State Minister frowned slightly, his expression grave.     

If these demons suddenly appeared and were not stopped in time, they would bring disaster to the citizens.     

The shopkeeper called the State Minister very loudly. However, when Chu Sihan opened the door and walked out, he could only see a white back view.     

He raised an eyebrow and returned to his room.     

Lu Sheng slept until the next morning.     

When she woke up, she did not see Chu Sihan.     

After washing up, she heard the door open.     

Chu Sihan walked in with food.     

Lu Sheng sniffed hard and said happily, "Pork ribs porridge!"     

"You're awake?"     

Chu Sihan placed the porridge on the table and smiled at her. "Hurry up and eat."     

Lu Sheng impatiently lifted the lid of the pot and placed it aside. Then, she picked up the spoon and lightly scraped the top layer. She blew on it lightly and placed it in her mouth to try it.     

"Eh?"     

She raised her eyebrows in surprise.     

The taste of this porridge was identical to the one she had eaten at Dongfang Mansion.     

Could Chu Sihan have found the chef from Dongfang Mansion?     

However, this was a small possibility.     

"What's wrong?" Chu Sihan asked carefully. "Is there something wrong?"     

Lu Sheng seemed to have thought of something. She looked up at Chu Sihan in a daze and asked, "Lord, this porridge… couldn't have been made by you, right?"     

Sometimes, even if it was cooked by the same person, it was difficult to make the same taste, unless one made it with their heart.     

"Yes."     

Chu Sihan nodded. "Doesn't it taste good?"     

"No, it's delicious!"     

Lu Sheng's heart warmed. She pursed her lips and smiled. "I didn't expect you to cook so well!"     

"Then, eat more."     

Chu Sihan sat opposite her. After she finished her last bite, he said lightly, "Chu Yun has already received your reward for you. He will send it to you later."     

"Really?"     

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up. She put down the porridge and rubbed her hands together. She asked excitedly, "Is there really a hundred thousand taels?"     

Chu Sihan nodded slightly. "Yes."     

"That's great!"     

With this money, she would buy more land next year after the snow melted. She would plant tomatoes, potatoes, and tabasco peppers.     

She could buy a few more pieces of good farmland and dig them up to make a farm. This way, her shop's business would definitely boom.     

She would be the richest landlord in Liu Yue Village in the future!     

Lu Sheng smiled like she was having a seizure.     

Chu Sihan was speechless.     

"Isn't it just a hundred thousand taels? Are you that happy?"     

This bit of money was only the Chu Mansion's income for a few days.     

"Of course I'm happy!"     

Lu Sheng snorted coldly. "How would rich people like you know how a nouveau riche like me feels?"     

"Nouveau riche?"     

Chu Sihan smiled faintly. "Your master is famous in the capital."     

"That's different. That's his money, not mine." Lu Sheng pouted. "Moreover, that old man is very stingy. Taking a bit of money is like taking his life away."     

She could not bear to spend so much money in her previous life. Now, they were all useless.
