Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 449: I Belong to You Alone



Chapter 449: I Belong to You Alone

Yun Ting had known Chu Sihan for years and knew that he did not welcome him and Fu Sisi now.

Moreover, as a man, he more or less understood Chu Sihan’s thoughts.

Hence, he smiled faintly and said, “Sisi and I still have some matters to attend to, so we won’t disturb the two of you.”

Fu Sisi was stunned. She was about to say something when Yun Ting pulled her away forcefully.

After they left, Lu Sheng covered her burning face with both hands and patted it lightly. She sighed deeply.

Chu Sihan smiled and poured her a cup of tea thoughtfully.

Lu Sheng thought for a while and suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears. She accused him, “It’s all your fault. You made me so embarrassed that I couldn’t face anyone!”

Although she was a person from the modern era, she lived in the mountains most of the time. She only entered the city in the last few years of her life.

Her thoughts were more or less the same as the current ancients.

“What are you afraid of?”

Chu Sihan chuckled. “Let them see if they want to.”

“How dare you!”

Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “Who told you not to close the door after entering?”

Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Why would I close the door of my own courtyard?”

Moreover, he did not know that Yun Ting and Fu Sisi would suddenly visit him, right?

If he had known, he would have instructed Chu Yun to stand guard outside the courtyard and prevent them from entering.

“Speaking of which, did Young Master Yun and Miss Sisi reconcile?”

Recalling their intimate actions just now, Lu Sheng could not help but raise her eyebrows.

“I don’t know.”

Chu Sihan shook his head slightly. “However, it seems like he had it too easy if Cousin forgave him just like that.”

—————

At this moment.

After exiting the magistrate court, Fu Sisi hurriedly retracted her hand.

“Well, I’m already at Lin Jiang Mansion. If you want to do something, go ahead.”

“Do you not want to see me so much now?”

Yun Ting smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Fu Sisi pursed her lips and avoided his gaze. She forced herself not to soften because of his sudden weakness.

Thinking back to the past, she had shamelessly followed him and even revealed such an expression many times. Didn’t his heart not ache before?

When she thought of this, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “My friend is still waiting for me. I’ll take my leave first.”

Then, she escaped in a hurry.

Yun Ting stood at his original spot and watched her retreating figure. For a moment, he felt gloomy.

It turned out that it was so uncomfortable that his enthusiasm could not get a response.

He probably understood how she used to feel.

“You’re reaping what you sow, aren’t you?”

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng had just come out when they saw Yun Ting standing outside the government office in a daze.

As his good deed was interrupted just now, Chu Sihan mercilessly sprinkled some salt on Yun Ting’s wound.

Yun Ting smiled bitterly. “You really don’t care about our relationship at all.”

“If you knew this would happen, why did you do this in the first place?”

Chu Sihan smiled faintly and said, “I’ve always been merciless to people like you who only regret it after their loss.”

“Miss Lu, why didn’t you scold him?”

Yun Ting looked at Lu Sheng and sighed softly.

“I think he’s right.”

Yun Ting, who thought that Lu Sheng would speak up for him, was speechless.

Alright, he had already become the object of everyone’s disdain.

Even Shi Yi, who had always been by his side, had abandoned him and gone off to pursue his true love.

The three of them found a teahouse nearby and asked for a room.

“Cousin came to look at wattles. You came to look at wattles too?”

After taking a seat, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Yun Ting smiled faintly. “I’m just a protector. As for admiring flowers, I only want to admire one now.”

He was not interested in anything else, be it real or fake flowers.

“Tsk—”

Chu Sihan clicked his tongue and said in surprise, “After not seeing you for a while, you’ve become smarter.”

“I still can’t compare to you, Brother Chu.”

In the past, Chu Sihan had even consulted him.

Who knew that he learned it himself later?

Indeed, the saying ‘the boat will eventually cross the bridge’ was right.

It seemed like he was the same.

“Where’s the love saint? Didn’t he come with you?”

“Him?” Yun Ting shrugged. “He goes out early and returns late every day. I stay in the same inn as him, but the number of times we meet can be counted on one hand.”

“The love saint you’re talking about is... Young Master Shi?”

Lu Sheng spoke hesitantly.

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan laughed softly and said, “That guy always mocked us as a love saint previously, so we gave him this name in private.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Speaking of which, he does deserve to be called a love saint.”

Shi Yi and Yu Mingyue had just officially met, but they were already chatting and laughing.

He was indeed much better than the two people in front of her.

“Really?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “How does he compare to the current me now?”

“Ah...”

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and smiled. “Lord is not a love saint. Lord is a devoted person.”

She was the only one in his eyes.

“Hey, hey, hey—”

Yun Ting frowned. “Can you at least consider other people’s feelings?”

Couldn’t they see that he was all alone now?

Chu Sihan snorted coldly. “Why would I consider you? You could have been together with her. You’re not worthy of sympathy.”

Lu Sheng nodded cooperatively.

Yun Ting said gloomily, “I advise you not to go too far. Otherwise, you’ll suffer retribution.”

“We don’t know if we’ll suffer retribution, but you’ve already suffered retribution.”

Chu Sihan’s words were equivalent to a critical hit. Yun Ting felt that his last bit of blood was also gone.

“Drink some tea.”

Lu Sheng hurried to pour tea for the two of them to distract them.

“Speaking of which, when did you return to Lin Jiang Mansion? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Yun Ting indeed diverted his attention to another matter.

“Oh, I suddenly remembered that I still had a small case to settle, so I rushed back immediately. I saw that you all had things to do, so I didn’t say anything.”

Chu Sihan’s expression was very calm from the start to the end. He did not even blink.

Lu Sheng admired him secretly.

His lying skills were on par with her master’s.

“I was wondering why I didn’t see you.”

Yun Ting did not suspect anything.

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.

“Oh right!”

Yun Ting sipped his tea and spoke again. “On the way here, we met Second Uncle Chu. However, they left in a hurry and didn’t have the time to greet us. Did something happen?”

“Something small happened, but it has been resolved now.”

Yun Ting raised an eyebrow. “Did your cousin do something earth-shattering again?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and revealed a rare expression of praise.

“You really know my cousin.”

Yun Ting smiled. “He’s your cousin after all. I know him a little.”

Yun Ting knew a little about Chu Sihan and Chu Silin.

Of course, he knew that Chu Silin had tried to assassinate Chu Sihan many times.

Actually, he did not quite understand why Chu Sihan would indulge Chu Silin so much.

If it were him, it was not enough for Chu Silin to die even if he had ten lives.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.”

Yun Ting glanced outside the room and lowered his voice. “I heard something in Huang Yang Town some time ago, but I don’t know if it’s true.”

“What is it?”

Chu Sihan had already guessed it, but he still asked faintly.

“I heard that in order to usurp the throne, the Crown Prince created weapons in private and even transported them from Huang Yang Town. In the end, they were intercepted by the Third Prince and County Magistrate Fu. I wonder if it’s true.”

It had been a while since that incident, but no one had heard anything. Hence, no one could guess the truth.

Chu Sihan chuckled and said ambiguously, “If it’s true, it’s true. If it’s false, it’s false.”

Yun Ting nodded in agreement.

He was silent for a moment before asking again, “Hey, Brother Chu, if this is true, what do you think will happen to the Crown Prince?”

Not many people knew about this now. Of course, quite a few people knew about this too.

Moreover, most of them had intentions.

The Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince should already know about this.

“What else could have happened?”

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “The Emperor is actually a person who cares about his face. Therefore, the worst outcome will probably be that the Crown Prince would still be the Crown Prince, but he’s no longer the original Crown Prince.”

Lu Sheng was not interested in these. If not for Chu Sihan, she would not even want to understand them.

Hence, when she heard their conversation, she did not have the intention to interrupt.

“Brother Chu, you’re saying that the Emperor will take back all the rights of the Crown Prince but not strip him of his identity as the Crown Prince?”

“More or less.”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “Anyway, this Crown Prince is useless.”

He had an empty reputation and was just flashy.

However, the officials of the Imperial Court should be happy to see this situation.

After all, no one had high hopes for the Crown Prince. He was brave and resourceful, but lacked compassion.

Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it. Even the Emperor himself would not be at ease handing over his country to such a person.

However, the Eldest Prince was different. Not only was he brave and resourceful, but he was also very mature.

Most importantly, he had followed the Emperor since he was young and knew what it meant to govern a country.

He also knew that if he wanted to reach that supreme status, he had to win the hearts of the people.

Hence, he would personally attend to any major disasters over the years.

This was also one of the reasons why he had more supporters than the Crown Prince in the Imperial Court.

Of course, Chu Sihan stood on his side precisely because of this.

The Eldest Prince’s personality was the most similar to the Emperor’s. He had both a cruel and a merciful side.

Resilient but not soft. Xuan Yue Country needed such a wise ruler.

He was not like the Crown Prince, who only wanted to climb to the top.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about these troublesome matters.”

Yun Ting raised his eyebrows and asked the two of them, “Since things have come to this, it’s time to arrange your marriage, right?”

The awkwardness that Lu Sheng had forgotten was instantly recalled and her face reddened again.

Chu Sihan rolled his eyes at Yun Ting. “You know how thin-skinned young girls are. Why do you keep mentioning this? If you want to drink, I can invite you anytime.”

Although he said that, his face was full of joy.

Yun Ting sneered and could not help but complain in his heart, “Why didn’t you die from being so slutty?”

—————

After leaving the teahouse, Yun Ting looked at the two of them and asked, “When are the two of you returning to Huang Yang Town?”

“In a few days.”

Chu Sihan hugged Lu Sheng and replied faintly.

“What about you?” Lu Sheng asked.

“I’ll go with you.”

Yun Ting lifted his head and looked at the sky. He took a deep breath and mumbled, “The sun looks quite strong. Why do I still feel cold?”

“Even the sun cannot warm a person with a cold heart.”

Yun Ting pondered. He looked suspiciously at Chu Sihan and said, “I realized that your mouth is getting more vicious.”

In the past, he would only target Shi Yi. Why was he targeting him now?

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “Sorry, I like to speak the truth.”

Then, he left with Lu Sheng in his arms.

Yun Ting was speechless.

What was wrong with him to want to drink tea with Chu Sihan?

The next time he drank tea with them, his surname would be Chu.

He snorted coldly and walked silently towards the inn.

Fu Sisi was avoiding him now. If he went up to her, she would want to escape even more. It was better to progress gradually.

He wanted her to know that he did not feel the difference because of her sudden estrangement, but because he had always liked her.

In the past, he always felt that she was annoying. However, when he heard that she was sick, he became inexplicably worried.

He even personally went to invite the doctor over to take a look before feeling at ease.

Fu Sisi did not know these at all because he had used Fu Xianyun’s name to invite the doctor.

In the past, he was always afraid of being pestered. Now, it was his turn to pester her.

—————

After staying in Lin Jiang Mansion for two more days, Lu Sheng felt inexplicably bored.

No matter how big Lin Jiang Mansion was, it was not as comfortable as Huang Yang Town.

“Shall we go on a river tour?”

Chu Sihan suggested softly.

“Where’s the garden with wattles?”

Lu Sheng suddenly remembered Fu Sisi mentioning about wattles two days ago.

“It’s on the shore of Ruoshui River. You can admire wattles if you go on a river tour.”

The girl seemed to be unhappy every time she came to Lin Jiang Mansion.

This made Chu Sihan more or less troubled.

“Alright, let’s go on a river tour.”

They left immediately.

After Chu Sihan asked Chu Yun to prepare a carriage, the two of them started to travel to Ruoshui River.

Initially, Lu Sheng wanted to invite Yun Ting and Fu Sisi as well.

However, on second thought, Fu Sisi had already been here before and would not want to come again. Hence, she gave up on this suggestion.

After the duo reached Ruoshui River, they asked for a boat.

There were also quite a number of boats nearby. Some people even brought singers along. When they stood on the shore, they could hear the occasional melodious tune.

“You like listening to music?”

Chu Sihan hugged her shoulders and lowered his head to whisper into her ear.

She looked up and smiled at him. “It’s alright.”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “Shall I order a singer for you too?”

Lu Sheng did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked curiously, “Were these singers provided by the boat?”

Chu Sihan shook his head. “No, she’s from the brothel next door.”

“There’s no need for that then!”

She raised an eyebrow and joked, “What if they drool over your good looks?”

Chu Sihan chuckled. “Drooling over them is useless because...”

He pretended to pause before whispering into her ear, “I belong to you alone.”

Lu Sheng’s body and mind trembled at the same time. Then, she glared at him angrily.

“That won’t be necessary.”

She felt that she could hear a lot of songs for free along the way.

Choosing another singer was unnecessary and expensive.
