Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 342: Multiple Identities

Not long after Lu Ran left, Lu Jiang and Lu Xin brought food out to visit their friends.

During this period, some children came to visit for the new year. Lu Sheng smiled and gave them some snacks. The children ran away happily.

Lu Zhou had found a string of firecrackers and was hanging them on a bare tree, preparing to light them.

“Disciple, walk faster when you enter.”

Lu Zhou held a lit incense stick and spoke faintly.

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Master, we can’t set off firecrackers in our house.”

“We can’t set off firecrackers?”

Lu Zhou frowned. “Why? Could it be that someone had passed away for less than three years?”

“No.”

Lu Sheng sat opposite Shangguan Dian. She took an apple and took a bite. “My father, stepmother, and stepsister were jailed not long ago.”

Although they were all sinners, they were still part of the Lu family. If they set off firecrackers now, they would be criticized.

She did not mind. However, she was mainly afraid that Lu Ran and the two children would mind.

“Forget it.”

Lu Zhou paused for a moment and stuck the incense in his hand into the snow. He also pulled the firecrackers off the tree.

They could not release them at home. However, the sounds of firecrackers could be heard from the village. It sounded festive.

“This peach is so sweet. Where did Master pluck it from?”

Lu Sheng took a bite of the peach and nodded.

Peaches were long gone in this season.

However, Lu Zhou was the one who brought the peaches, so Lu Sheng did not find it surprising.

“I plucked it from the Green Peak.”

Lu Zhou sat back down and spoke faintly.

Lu Sheng narrowed her eyes and smiled insincerely. “Master, you have so many vests. One has fallen after another.”

Lu Zhou’s expression paused. He coughed and changed the topic. “This apple is not bad as well. Disciple, eat more.”

“What’s a vest?”

Shangguan Dian was curious.

It was the first time he heard that word.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Well, Uncle Demon King, you can ask your friend.”

Shangguan Dian looked over suspiciously, but Lu Zhou’s look of warning was already on him.

His expression froze and he quickly retracted his gaze. He decided not to ask further.

Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “I wonder what other vests Master has that I don’t know?”

“No more!”

Lu Zhou shook his head.

Lu Sheng glanced at him and snorted coldly. “That better be the case.”

Lu Zhou sniffed guiltily.

Other identities were not important, and it was alright if the little girl knew about them. The only thing that he was afraid of was his identity as the little girl’s biological father.

If the little girl knew about this, she might be angry and disappointed.

After all, he had kept it from her for so many years.

“So, what’s a vest?”

Shangguan Dian was really curious, but he did not dare to ask Lu Zhou. He could only ask Lu Sheng.

“It means that someone has multiple identities.”

Shangguan Dian nodded in realization. “I see!”

...

Lu Ran left and only returned at dinner time.

As they had only eaten a simple barbecue for reunion dinner yesterday, Lu Sheng specially made up for it today.

It was Shangguan Dian’s first time spending the new year in the human world. When he saw the table full of delicious-looking dishes, his eyes widened.

“There’s actually so much delicious food during the new year in the human world?!”

“The human world?”

Lu Ran, who was setting up his chopsticks, looked over suspiciously.

“Oh, he’s actually referring to the countryside.”

Lu Sheng explained with a smile.

Only then did Shangguan Dian remember that other than them, Lu Ran and the other siblings did not know his identity.

He hurriedly nodded and smiled. “Xiao Sheng is right. I’m talking about the countryside.”
