Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 323: New Year’s Eve (1)

Knowing that Lu Zhou was still brooding over what happened back then, Shangguan Dian rubbed his nose helplessly.

“I’ll go to the human world to find the Demon King Token. I’ll come back when I find it.”

He actually just wanted to see how Lu Zhou’s wife and daughter looked like.

Huh?!

That’s not right. Shouldn’t Lu Zhou’s wife and daughter be at Green Peak? Why would they be celebrating the new year in the human world?

Shangguan Dian was surprised. “You married a mortal woman?”

“What has that got to do with you?”

Lu Zhou glanced at him and said, “Senior Brother, let’s go.”

The King of Hades shook his head helplessly and left the Demon Realm with Lu Zhou.

When Shangguan Dian saw this, he hurried after them.

Two days later, at Huang Yang Town in the human world.

“Well... Aren’t you supposed to be here only a thousand years later? Why did you come back?”

Shangguan Dian scratched his head in confusion.

He remembered that Lu Zhou used to live in high-rise buildings.

He still wanted to go to that ‘bar’ for a few drinks.

When the King of Hades saw that Lu Zhou did not speak, he felt a little pitiful and quickly replied for Lu Zhou, “It’s a long story.”

Shangguan Dian pouted. “There’s no need to say anything else then.”

The King of Hades was speechless.

He should not have pitied him.

“Junior Brother, are you going to see Lu Sheng?”

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou said lightly, “It’s the New Year’s Eve. I have to go to her.”

“Who’s Lu Sheng?”

Shangguan Dian walked forward and asked.

This time, the duo tacitly ignored him. He was not embarrassed.

Lu Zhou went to the courier station to get a carriage and placed all the fruits he brought back from the Immortal World inside.

There were bananas, apples, and common fruits like peaches. After a while, the smell of the fruits filled the carriage.

“You be the coachman.”

Shangguan Dian was about to enter the carriage when Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.

His body stiffened, and he maintained his bent posture as he stared at Lu Zhou in disbelief.

Was there a mistake?

He was the mighty Demon King, but he was ordered to be a coachman?

The King of Hades, who was already sitting in the carriage, glanced at him gloatingly.

“You don’t want to?”

Lu Zhou sneered. “If you don’t want to be the coachman, get lost.”

“I’ll be the coachman!”

Shangguan Dian smiled at him perfunctorily and retreated gloomily to sit on the coachman’s seat.

If it were anyone else, they would have been torn to pieces if they dared to order him around.

However, this person was Lu Zhou, the benefactor who saved his life back then. What else could he do but listen obediently?

Shangguan Dian sighed helplessly. “Sit tight.”

As he spoke, he whipped the horse. The horse was in pain and lifted its hooves to cry before rushing out of the courier station.

Liu Yue Village worshipped their ancestors during the new year. Early in the morning, besides Lu Xin, who was still sleeping, the whole family was busy.

Lu Ran killed a chicken and Lu Sheng placed a pot of water aside.

Lu Ran added half a ladle of water before boiling the dead chicken.

Lu Jiang squatted at the side and prepared to pluck the feathers.

Lu Sheng returned to the kitchen and continued cooking.

The three of them busied themselves until noon before worshipping their ancestors.

As the rule stated that only men could offer incense, Lu Sheng came out to wait under the roof.

Lu Xin woke up too. After washing up in the kitchen, she came over to ask Lu Sheng when she could wear her new clothes.

“Wear new clothes?”

Lu Sheng smiled. “Wear them tonight. It’s only the first day of the new year then.”

“Oh!”

Lu Xin nodded.

When Mdm Liu was still around, Lu Ning would wear new clothes every year during the new year. However, Lu Jiang, Lu Xin, and the original Lu Sheng did not.

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin would only have new clothes to wear every two to three years. As for Lu Sheng, it was even more difficult. She only had one set of new clothes every three to four years. The rest of the time, she would basically be wearing Lu Ning’s old clothes.

Perhaps they were in the same boat, but the two children had always been closer to Lu Sheng.
