Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild-Chapter 12 - Cannot Read Her

"She's not dead yet! You can't capture me!"

When Madam Liu saw that Lu Sheng was still alive, she became aggressive.

She tried to shake herself free from the guards, but they kept their grip firm on her.

"Although she's not dead yet, the law in Xuan Yue Country states that to murder one's relative for no good reason is one of the ten unforgivable sins. Hence, the culprit should be duly punished."

Hearing a cold voice, everyone discovered a handsome young man, dressed in a white robe, standing beside them.

Lu Sheng secretly stuck her head out from the women's backs and peered at the speaker.

Chu Sihan's glare at Madam Liu was strict, and his expression was cold.

After Chu Sihan glanced at him, Constable Wang waved his hand. "Bring her away."

"No! No! She's still alive! You can't capture me!"

Madam Liu's delighted expression immediately disappeared, and fear overwhelmed her face.

"Mother, Mother!"

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin did not know what was going on. When they saw someone grabbing their mother, they became scared and worried.

Lu Dahua held them back and stopped them from approaching Madam Liu. However, he happily looked at Lu Sheng.

That's great!

There's still a chance for me to get my five hundred taels!

After watching Madam Liu and Lu Ning being dragged away, Lu Sheng wiped her tears and timidly thanked the crowd.

The villagers consoled her and said that they were willing to testify for her if anything happened. Only then did they leave.

Chu Sihan's curious gaze landed on Lu Sheng. Despite looking pitiful and weak earlier, she displayed a bright smile toward him with reddened eyes.

Chu Sihan was left speechless.

This girl's expression changed so quickly.

The sight shocked Chu Yun for a moment.

"Lu Sheng, I'm so glad that you're fine!"

Lu Dahua released Lu Jiang and Lu Xin, who were still crying, and said to Lu Sheng with a smile, "Go and quickly clean up. I'll bring you to the Chu Mansion later."

Lu Sheng, who was in a good mood, became gloomy once she saw him.

Ignoring Lu Dahua, she bowed to Chu Sihan and Chu Yun.

Then she brushed past Lu Dahua and entered the house.

When Chu Sihan and Chu Yun heard that Lu Dahua wanted to bring Lu Sheng to the Chu Mansion, a conflicted expression appeared on their faces.

Lu Dahua smiled at both of them and followed his daughter back to the Lu Family's courtyard.

After leaving Liu Yue Village, Chu Yun could not help but exclaim, "I can't believe that the beggar, according to the National Advisor, is the woman you're destined to meet!"

The National Advisor is really unreliable. How could such an impressive person like Lord marry such a disheveled woman?

Chu Sihan did not speak. He continued to calmly look ahead while riding his horse.

However, he could not help but wonder.

According to the information he gathered from Li Zheng and his wife, the girl should be a shy and quiet girl who was easily intimidated by strangers.

Although he had only seen this girl twice and had not interacted with her, he still felt that she was completely different from their descriptions.

She was alive, yet she hadn't immediately returned to the Lu Family, but chose to go to town instead.

Something similar happened today as well. Despite such a large commotion happening in the Lu Family and despite being in the village, she did not immediately come to her house.

She had waited until her step-sister revealed the truth and Constable Wang captured them. Only then did she show her face.

Chu Sihan had not paid much attention to it earlier. However, as he carefully thought about it, he suddenly felt like she had calculated every single step.

Did she plan everything out from the start, or was everything just a coincidence?

He narrowed his eyes a little. Despite being skilled at reading others, he suddenly realized that there was someone he could not read.

And this person was only a sixteen-year-old farm girl.
