Chapter 140: Suddenly Being Obedient and Sensible
“Why are you here?” Shangguan Linger asked with a frown.
She hated Lu Sheng, but she did not have a good impression of Chu Silin.
The main reason was that Chu Silin had always been going against Chu Sihan ever since he was young.
Since she was young, she had always thought that she would marry Chu Sihan. Hence, she directly treated Chu Silin as her enemy.
“No matter how good Chu Sihan is, he doesn’t love you. He would rather interact with a farm girl than look at you.”
Chu Silin clicked his tongue and continued, “I’m different. I’ve liked you ever since I was young. You’re the only one in my heart. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I guarantee that you’ll enjoy a luxurious life.”
The Shangguan family was on a decline now. Moreover, if Old Master Jiang’s case could not be investigated, the county magistrate would be finished as well.
Perhaps the entire Shangguan family would be implicated.
Shangguan Linger did not even look at him. She held the umbrella and left.
Chu Silin stared at her back and laughed coldly. “One day, you’ll come crying and beg me. If you don’t believe me, we’ll see.”

The first thing Lu Sheng did when she returned to the village was to wash the pot and start a fire to cook dinner for the two children.
Lu Zhou suddenly came over at night.
This time, Lu Sheng wisely brewed a pot of tea for him and even asked if he had already eaten.
Lu Zhou glanced at her and said lightly, “Your sudden obedience makes me uneasy.”
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him.
“I know you’re here to say goodbye.”
If she guessed correctly, Lu Zhou was returning to the capital.
“Yes.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “I’m here to do something else with you today. If there’s anything in the future, just use the Sound Connecting Talisman to communicate with me.”
Lu Zhou’s Sound Connecting Talisman was different from her self-made one. Her self-made one could make humans communicate with ghosts, but the distance was limited.
The Sound Connecting Talisman that Lu Zhou spoke of was equivalent to a phone from her previous life. It allowed communication no matter how far away one was.
However, unlike a phone, communicating via a Sound Connecting Talisman required more magic power.
Unless there was an important matter, she would not use it casually.
“Got it.”
She nodded. “When you return to Huang Yang Town next time, I’ll make your favorite spicy crayfish tails.”
“Crayfish?”
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Where did you get the crayfish from?”
He remembered that there were no crayfish in this era.
“I bought them before I died in my previous life. Didn’t Master love to eat crayfish and river crabs? When I sneaked out, I specially went to the market to buy a few dozen pounds of each. There are also potatoes and tomatoes.”
“At least you have some conscience.”
As Lu Zhou spoke, he scanned his surroundings and stared at the wooden bucket used to collect rainwater. He asked, “My dear disciple, aren’t you going to rebuild this house?”
“No.”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “We have to rebuild the house. However, this might become a breeding ground in the future. I have a house in town.”
Lu Zhou nodded. This girl always had a lot of ideas.
“Why don’t you go and fry some crayfish for me to try now?”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “I’m not going. The water is so cold that I can’t feel anything once I put my hand in it. If you want to eat, go and get some yourself.”
“Forget it.”
Lu Zhou sighed softly and stood up. “It’s getting late. I have to leave. The situation in court is tense now. As the prince, I’m afraid I’ll die if I’m not careful. If you can’t see me, go to hell and find me.”
Lu Sheng resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said unhappily, “I’m really scared of you. I’ll get some for you now, alright?”
If she had known earlier, she would not have mentioned crayfish. She was asking for it.
When Lu Zhou heard that, he sat back on the stool satisfactorily and smiled faintly. “My disciple still cares about me.”
