Chapter 311: Save It For the Ancestor
Lu Sheng blinked innocently. “Grandpa, I’m telling the truth.”
She was really not lying.
Lu Ran glanced at her and was about to verify the truth of her words when He Hu added, “Lord Chu’s grandmother is the current Prime Minister’s mother. How are you able to see her?”
He Hu smiled and shook his head, as if saying, “Don’t try to lie to me.”
“What happened to the Prime Minister’s mother?”
He Lai walked over. “Our Xiao Sheng’s master is the Third Prince.”
“Hahaha—”
He Hu laughed even louder when he heard that.
“You even helped your niece lie to me. Third Prince? How dare you think about that?”
He Lai was speechless.
He finally understood Lu Sheng’s helplessness.
“Ah Sheng is telling the truth.”
Lu Ran spoke faintly.
He Hu’s smile froze.
Given Lu Sheng’s and He Lai’s character, it was normal for them to joke. However, Lu Ran disliked joking the most.
In other words, Lu Sheng’s and He Lai’s words were not a joke?
He Hu looked at Lu Sheng and He Lai, but the two of them nodded at him at the same time.
After some time, He Hu finally found his voice.
“In that case, Xiao Sheng has really seen the Prime Minister’s mother and is really the Third Prince’s disciple?”
He Lai and Lu Ran nodded at the same time. “Absolutely!”
“Well…”
He Hu still did not dare to believe it.
As farmers, they had not even seen the county magistrate of Huang Yang Town, let alone the Third Prince and the Prime Minister’s mother.
Now, they were telling him that Lu Sheng had not only seen the Prime Minister’s mother, but was also the Third Prince’s disciple. Anyone would not believe this, right?
“Grandpa, besides the Prime Minister’s mother, I’ve also seen the Emperor.”
When she said this, the surroundings fell silent again.
Not only was He Hu shocked, but even Lu Ran and He Lai were stunned.
Seen the Emperor?
That should be no different from heaven to them, right?
“Oh right, he also rewarded me with a pair of ingots. However, I didn’t bring them with me.”
He Hu was speechless.
He Lai was speechless.
Lu Ran was speechless.
Meeting the Emperor was already a great gift, yet she still received ingots?
“The Emperor treats the officials well, but he’s a bit stingy towards the commoners.”
Lu Sheng sighed softly and said, “I helped him get rid of… bad people. He only rewarded me with two gold ingots.”
The three of them were speechless.
She had already taken the money, but still pretended to be innocent after taking advantage of him. She even dared to complain about the Emperor?
“What happened?”
When He Dong returned, he saw the three of them staring at Lu Sheng in shock. He could not help but feel puzzled.
Lu Ran was the first to regain his senses.
“Why didn’t you mention this before?”
This was a great deed to bring honor to their ancestors, but she did not even mention it.
If she had not mentioned it today, he would not have known.
His sister was getting more amazing.
Lu Sheng said disapprovingly, “It’s not a big deal.”
The Emperor was human too. What was there to say?
“You must not spend that ingot. Save it for your ancestors.”
He Hu, who regained his senses, quickly reminded her.
Such a gift was usually used for offering. This was a gift and could not be used casually.
“Why?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
Wasn’t money meant to be spent?
Lu Ran was silent for a moment before saying faintly, “Pass the ingot to me when we get back.”
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng nodded without thinking.
Anyway, it was only a hundred taels. She did not lack this bit of money.
