Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 147: He Hadn’t Eaten It Before Either

As if he did not see her, Chu Sihan turned to Lu Sheng and asked, “Is there anything else you want to buy?”

“Let’s buy some pork belly. Big Brother has not eaten my Dongpo meat before. Let him try it today.”

Lu Sheng walked towards the pork stall.

Chu Sihan stood at his original spot for a while. He looked at Lu Ran thoughtfully before following her.

“What’s Dongpo meat?”

He had not eaten it before either.

“Lord, you’ll know after eating it today.”

Lu Sheng pointed at a piece of pork belly, hinting for the stall owner to take it.

After buying the fish and meat, Lu Sheng bought some more vegetables.

After buying the ingredients, the three of them greeted the confused Li Zheng before walking back.

“Mdm Ma, you’re harming your son. How dare you offend Lord Chu?”

Someone gloated.

Everyone had long been unhappy with Mdm Ma. When they saw her dejected look, they were elated.

In the past, she was the arrogant one who used her peripheral vision to observe others. Did she accidentally kick an iron plate now?

“Let’s not even mention that he’s Lord Chu. Even if he’s an ordinary rich man, he’s not someone your son can afford to offend.”

“Speak less in the future and accumulate more virtue for Duan Zhen.”

…

Everyone spoke one after another. Some added insult to injury, while others consoled her sincerely.

Some people felt that it was not easy to become a county scholar in the village. If Duan Zhen could become an official in the future, the villagers would have face.

Of course, there were also those who could not stand seeing Mdm Ma well and prayed that Chu Sihan would pursue the matter.

There were also some who looked on coldly.

Listening to the villagers, Li Zheng frowned. “What happened just now?”

A woman sneered and said, “Mdm Ma was very arrogant in front of Lord Chu just now. She even said that revealing her son’s identity would scare Lord Chu.”

Li Zheng’s face darkened when he heard that. He could not help but scold Mdm Ma. “How dare you say that? If Lord Chu investigates this, Duan Zhen will never walk the official path in his life.”

Mdm Ma was already feeling uneasy. When she heard Li Zheng’s words, she burst into tears.

She even begged Li Zheng to speak to Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan for her, saying that she would never create rumors again.

“Lord Chu is magnanimous. Since it’s your first offense, he probably won’t bicker with a village woman. Watch your mouth in the future and speak less.”

Li Zheng advised her coldly before leaving after buying the ingredients.

Due to her fear, Mdm Ma contracted a serious illness after returning. She only recovered after half a month.

Of course, these were all said after the matter was done.

After Lu Sheng and the rest reached home, Lu Ran, Chu Sihan, and the rest sat outside to chat while Lu Sheng went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

The few of them had seen each other before. After chatting for a while, they started addressing each other as brothers.

As she wanted to treat Chu Sihan and the rest to a meal and Lu Ran, who had been studying in the private school for a long time, came back, Lu Sheng made a full table of dishes.

Beancurd with crab roe, sweet and sour fish, Dongpo meat, braised pork ribs with potatoes, and shredded fish slices. Everything was delicious.

Shi Yi, who was famished, could not help but drool when the dishes were still being stir-fried in the wok. He sat at the table and picked up a piece of Dongpo meat with his chopsticks to eat.

“Yummy!” His eyes lit up and he took another piece of beancurd with crab roe, nodding immediately.

“Be more reserved.”

Yun Ting coughed and reminded him softly.

“No!” Shi Yi said, “She has such good culinary skills. If I eat slower, wouldn’t you have finished everything?”

When Chu Sihan and Yun Ting heard that, they shot him a disdainful look.
