Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 19 - I Did It.

Lu Dahuaʼs confession left the entire Liu Yue Village in a frenzy of fury and disbelief.

Many sympathized with Lu Ran and Lu Sheng.

The two of them shouldʼve received motherly love in their growing years, but they couldnʼt experience it due to their scumbag father and stepmother.

The Village Head and some villagers who were close to the Lu Family visited the siblings to send their condolences.

They all thought the saddest person would be Lu Sheng. However, when they arrived, she seemed fine. She calmly weeded the grass in the courtyard with Lu Jiang and Lu Xin.

The villagers all thought she was overly sad, and thus, had decided to distract herself with work.

Therefore, everyone left after speaking a few words.

”Ah Sheng, have you known about this all along?”

Lu Ranʼs face was very pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. His handsome face looked exhausted.

He looked at her with his teary eyes.

”Not for very long.”

Lu Sheng put down the hoe and spoke, ”I learned of this two days ago.”

Lu Ning had said that she wanted to marry the county magistrate, but she was not the biological daughter of the Lu Family. That was why she wanted to aid Madam Liu in killing the original Lu Sheng.

However, Madam Liu was one who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She dared to persuade Lu Dahua to poison Madam He, but she didnʼt dare to offend the county magistrate. Hence, she had rejected Lu Ningʼs request.

However, Lu Ning had used this matter to threaten her. If Madam Liu had not helped Lu Ning, Lu Ning wouldʼve exposed her deed of compelling Lu Dahua to poison Madam He.

Madam Liu was well aware of her daughterʼs personality. She had never been one to make empty promises.

Without an alternative course of action, Madam Liu had agreed to help Lu Ning eliminate the original Lu Sheng.

Unbeknownst to them, the original Lu Sheng had just returned from the washroom at that moment. She had heard the entirety of this conversation.

Madam Liu was afraid that the original Lu Sheng would expose their deeds, and so, she decided to kill her.

She knocked her out with Lu Ningʼs help, then they dragged her to the room and suffocated her with the covers.

After that, they had thrown the body into a nearby lake.

”Who did you hear it from?” Lu Ran asked.

”Lu Ning and Madam Liu.”

Lu Sheng kept her head low and hid her expression.

Lu Ranʼs expression became a little hideous. He only spoke in a cold voice after some seconds had passed, ”That was why they wanted to kill you?”

Lu Sheng nodded and replied, ”I guess so.”

Lu Ran was at a loss for words. Putting Madam Liu aside, he could not believe that his father was involved in his motherʼs death.

He suppressed his forlorn and asked in a rather weak voice. ”The haunting for the past two days…”

”They were all my doings,” Lu Sheng admitted.

”Well done!”

Lu Ran returned to his room after speaking.

Lu Jiang waited for Lu Ran to go back to his room. He then came to Lu Sheng with Lu Xin, looked up, and said, ”Second Sister, weʼre hungry.”

”Iʼll make you some food.”

After washing her hands, Lu Sheng went to the kitchen.

Madam Liu was an extremely calculative person. She could not bear to make ʼdelicacies.ʼ

Lu Sheng opened up the rice jar and saw that it was only half-filled. She also saw a flour jar that was filled to the brink as though it had never been touched.

She took a look at the eggs. After contemplating for a while, she decided to make a simple omelet.

She was busy for the next hour.

After she was done, she carried the plate of omelet out and asked Lu Jiang and Lu Xin to try it out. Then, she went over to Lu Ranʼs room and knocked on his door.

Lu Ran did not have the appetite to eat, and he asked them to go ahead with the meal.

Lu Sheng did not force him either. When she returned to the dining table, she realized the two children had yet to eat the omelet.

”Start eating,” Lu Sheng said and distributed one to each of them.

Lu Jiang took the omelet and swallowed. ”Second Sister, Mother bought the floor for Father and Third Sister.”
