Chapter 53: Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Sheng did not want to go initially, but on account of that one thousand taels previously, she decided to go.
In Huang Yang Town’s largest restaurant, Tian Xiang Restaurant.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan stared at each other for a while before she asked, “Lord, why did you find me?”
Chu Sihan raised his head slightly and glanced sharply out of the window.
Chu Yun, who was standing silently at the side, nodded. Then, he walked to the window and pushed it open.
In an instant, two black figures had already flown to the other roof.
Chu Yun jumped over the window and chased after them.
Lu Sheng glanced over indifferently and pouted.
She had thought that they were here to protect Chu Sihan. She did not expect them to monitor them.
“I’m returning to Lin Jiang Mansion the day after tomorrow. Take this.”
Chu Sihan placed a jade pendant in front of her.
Lu Sheng glanced at the jade pendant and frowned.
“Why did you give me this?”
Chu Sihan said, “Take this jade pendant. If you encounter any trouble, you can find the owner of the restaurant at Peach Garden Bookstore to help you. He can help you with anything, except murder and arson.”
“I won’t be in trouble.” Lu Sheng pushed the jade pendant back and smiled faintly. “Magistrate Chu, did you think that those who could save you can’t solve their own problems?”
Chu Sihan was silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly laughed.
Since she did not want it, he would not force her either.
After keeping the jade pendant, he said, “Then, let’s eat.”
He did not intend to do anything. He only wanted to have a good farewell lunch with her before leaving Huang Yang Town.
The table was filled with delicacies. This was the second time Lu Sheng had seen such luxurious food in her life.
The first time was Chu Sihan’s treat. The second time was also his treat.
The dishes served in Tian Xiang Restaurant were not cheap. Even the most common dish, green vegetables, cost one tael.
They would probably not be able to finish the meal without at least a hundred taels.
What a waste.
Lu Sheng scolded in her heart, but she was not careless in her actions of picking up meat.
Chu Sihan glanced at her, and his thin lips curved upwards before he lowered his head to sip the wine in his glass.
Lu Sheng also poured a glass and downed it. She frowned and complained, “Not strong enough.”
Chu Sihan paused in his chopsticks action when he heard that. He looked up at Lu Sheng and squinted his eyes. “Your accent doesn’t sound like someone from Huang Yang Town. Instead, it sounds more like someone from the capital.”
He had been attending school in the capital ever since he became sensible. He could naturally understand the accent of the capital’s citizens.
“Why? Can’t the people from Huang Yang Town speak the capital’s language?”
Lu Sheng retorted.
Ignoring her attitude, Chu Sihan softly asked, “It’s not impossible. It’s just that you’ve lived in Huang Yang Town ever since you were young. I’m very curious as to why you can speak the capital’s language.”
“What’s so difficult about that?” Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “As long as I want to learn it, there’s nothing I can’t learn. I even know how to speak Javanese. Do you believe me?”
Chu Sihan blinked and asked in confusion, “Where’s this Java?”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
She coughed lightly. “I was just spouting nonsense.”
“Oh.”
The both of them became silent.
Just when the atmosphere in the room became more awkward, Chu Yun finally came back.
After greeting him, he drank a few mouthfuls of tea before whispering into Chu Sihan’s ear.
Lu Sheng glanced at the master-servant pair and did not speak.
She did not want to tell them that she could hear them.
She did not want to pry into other people’s privacy either. It was just that her hearing was too good, so she could not be blamed.
Chu Yun told Chu Sihan that the two men were not Chu Silin’s men. It seemed like they were from another side. As to which side they were from, he could not find out yet.
