Chapter 71 - They Were Not Important
When it was afternoon, there were still a lot of people on the streets of Lin Jiang Mansion.
“Since you’ve transferred the valuables, does that mean that it has nothing to do with you even if they were lost midway?”
In the carriage leaving the magistrate court, Lu Sheng asked Chu Sihan softly.
He nodded. “Yes.”
Lu Sheng nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. “In that case, I can be rest assured.”
“Rest assured?”
Chu Sihan tilted his head and looked at her. There was a faint smile in his eyes, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
“So, you followed me here not because you were worried about the valuables, but because you were worried about me?”
Lu Sheng’s expression froze. Then, she laughed drily and tried to change the topic. “Is the weather getting cold recently?”
After knowing the answer he wanted, Chu Sihan did not inquire further.
Instead, he followed her lead and nodded. “It’s a bit cold.”
After the horse carriage stopped, Chu Yun realized that his lord’s expression had become much gentler than before.
Lu Sheng had bought a lot of things during her shopping trip. She was elated when she bought them, but after she bought them, she suddenly felt gloomy.
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Sihan could not read this woman’s mind.
Lu Sheng sighed softly. “Too poor! I’m so poor that it upsets me.”
She did not expect that she would spend more than a hundred taels.
She wondered how the crayfish and river crabs were doing, and whether the potatoes and tomatoes were growing as well as before.
Those were the items that she needed to strike her first pot of gold. She could not afford to make any mistakes.
Also, she did not know if the two children at home had eaten properly.
“I’m going back to Huang Yang Town tomorrow morning.”
She had too many worries, and could not stay for long.
Chu Sihan’s eyes darkened and his voice became much fainter.
“Aren’t you going to stay for a few more days?”
“No, I’ll shop properly next time. There’s still a lot of work to do at home.”
The luxurious Lin Jiang Mansion did not suit her. She preferred the farm life.
“Then, I’ll send you out of the city tomorrow.”
He had just returned and there was a pile of work waiting for him at the magistrate court. He could not leave for now.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could not force her to stay.
This wasn’t a good feeling.
Lu Sheng did not reject him and agreed.
“Lord, we just received news that Young Master Yun and Young Master Shi have arrived.”
When the duo reached the carriage, Chu Yun went up to report to him.
“Why are they here?”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrow in surprise.
“I’m not sure. They said they’re waiting for you in the magistrate court.”
Upon hearing Chu Yun’s words, Chu Sihan quickly looked at Lu Sheng.
Knowing that he had guests, Lu Sheng said thoughtfully, “Let’s go back. We’ve bought everything that we should.”
“They’re not important. If you want to continue shopping, I’ll accompany you.”
Her words overwhelmed Lu Sheng and Chu Yun’s jaw almost dropped.
This was the first time in years that he had heard the Lord say that Young Master Yun and Young Master Shi were not important.
He did not expect the Lord to be like this!
Thankfully, the two masters were not here. Otherwise, their hearts would have been broken.
Their friendship of ten years could not even compare to that of a girl they had known for only less than a month.
“Thank you, Lord!” After Lu Sheng thanked him, she hurriedly shook her head and said, “However, I’ve really finished shopping!”
If she continued shopping, she was afraid that she would lose her taels again.
Majority of the items on the carriage were paid by Chu Sihan. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Chu Sihan regretfully nodded his head and said to Chu Yun, “Let’s return to the magistrate court.”
“Yes!”
After Chu Yun agreed, he waited for the both of them to board the carriage before turning it around and driving in the direction of the magistrate court.
