Lord Chu's Wife is Wild Chapter 484 – You're All Cheap

Chapter 484: You're All Cheap

“Why… Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lu Wei felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously retreated.

Lu Sheng crossed her arms over her chest and sized her up. “Didn't you follow us here to see something?”

“Who… Who said I followed you here? I just… I just don't know where the toilet is.”

Lu Wei was so guilty that she did not dare to look Lu Sheng in the eye.

“Hah!”

Lu Sheng sneered and said lightly, “You've been running over to my side recently and even tried to curry favor. Aren't you just looking for a rich husband?”

“I'm not!”

Lu Wei's reaction was very intense after a sore spot was hit.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Lu Wei, don't forget that we grew up together. How can I not know your character?”

Back then, for a Duan Zhen, she would mock the owner every day. She even poked the owner's forehead and scolded her for being unworthy of Duan Zhen. The scene was still vivid in her mind.

“What do you mean?” Lu Wei suddenly looked up and glared at Lu Sheng angrily.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. She lowered her eyes and stared at the flowers. She said lightly, “Your family is the same. When others are leading a bad life, you step on them as hard as you can. When you see others lead a good life, you shake your tail hard to please them. As expected of a family. You're all cheap.”

Lu Wei was stunned for a while. Then, she suddenly screamed and pounced on Lu Sheng. However, she dodged easily.

Lu Sheng glanced at the pond and smiled evilly.

Before Lu Wei could react, she had already been kicked into the pond.

“Help! Help! Lu Sheng is going to kill someone!”

When they dug the pond back then, for safety reasons, they did not dig too deep. It was less than a meter deep.

Although Lu Wei was not tall, she was more than 1.5 meters tall. She would not drown.

Seeing her splash and shout in the water, Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and smiled.

When she saw someone approaching from the corner of her eye, she picked up a bamboo pole and placed it in the pond.

“Sister Wei, are you alright? If you want to steal my crayfish, so be it. Why did you jump in?”

She said nervously and asked Lu Wei to grab the bamboo pole quickly.

“Sister Wei, grab the pole quickly. I'll pull you up!”

“What happened?”

On the other hand, Lu Ran, Mu Yan, Yu Yang, Li Zheng, and the rest of the villagers walked over.

“I don't know either.”

Lu Sheng turned back and said to everyone, “Sister Wei suddenly fell into the pond. I wanted to save her, but she insisted that I wanted to kill her and refused to let me save her.”

Everyone's gaze landed on Lu Wei, who was still splashing in the pond.

Lu Ran frowned and carried her out of the water.

Everyone looked at the pond, then at Lu Wei on the ground. They did not know what to say.

“Lu Sheng wants to kill me! Lu Sheng wants to kill me!”

Lu Wei regained her senses and immediately cried.

“Lu Wei, you just want to frame Lu Sheng. You should at least find a deeper lake. The water level here only reaches your waist. It can't drown you, right?”

Aunt Yu could not stand it anymore and spoke coldly.

“That's right. This girl is just like her mother. She's full of lies.”

“She really looks like the person who gave birth to her.”

Listening to the conversation around her, Lu Wei looked up and scanned her surroundings. When she saw Yu Yang, Mu Yan, and the rest, her face paled.

“No, no. Lu Sheng kicked me into the water!”

Why did these people not believe her?

She was obviously telling the truth.

“Even if she kicked you, you must have done something first.”

“That's right. How can we not know Lu Sheng's personality?”

“Don't tell me you hate Xiao Sheng for not calling your family over, so you came here to frame her?”

Hearing that everyone was trying to defend Lu Sheng and seeing the faint smile on her face, Lu Wei was filled with hatred.

“It's obviously her and… Oh—”

She stopped mid-sentence.

She tried her best to make a sound, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not make a sound.

Lu Sheng looked at her coldly and said to Lu Ran, “Brother, go back and change your clothes first. Leave this to me.”

Lu Ran nodded and left with Yu Yang and Mu Yan.

“Everyone, go back and sit. The dishes will be served soon.”

Everyone had been busy since the morning and were already hungry. Especially when they smelled meat, they felt famished.

Hence, everyone dispersed when Lu Sheng spoke.

Li Zheng glanced at Lu Wei, sighed softly, shook his head, and left with everyone.

Lu Sheng looked down at Lu Wei, who was still trying her best to speak. Without another word, she threw her out the back door.

The back door was a field filled with weeds.

Lu Wei was thrown onto the weeds and she hurriedly climbed up.

She wanted to scold Lu Sheng, but she could not make a sound. She could only stare at her fiercely.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “Chu Sihan is my man. How dare you covet him?”

Lu Sheng walked over and looked down at her. “Not only Chu Sihan, but you don't deserve to covet everyone around me. On what basis do you think the people around me will like someone that even Duan Zhen disdains?”

“Doesn't Duan Zhen despise you too?”

Lu Wei was shocked by her ability to say something. After the shock, she was elated.

She glared at Lu Sheng and said, “Duan Zhen doesn't like you, but hasn't Lord Chu like you?”

Lu Sheng clicked her tongue. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What Duan Zhen doesn't like is the past me. The current me doesn't like Duan Zhen. Also…”

She paused and sized her up for a while. Then, she smiled faintly and asked, “How do you think you can compare to me?”

“You…”

Lu Wei stared at her fair and flawless face and thought of herself. She was momentarily speechless.

“Very well!”

Lu Sheng nodded. “It seems like you know yourself well.”

She glanced at the grass not far away and said indifferently, “Remember, it's not only your parents and brother. You're the same. Don't come to my house in the future. I'm very annoyed with you. Don't come over and challenge my patience again and again. You'll suffer retribution.”

As she spoke, she turned around and returned to the courtyard. Then, she locked the back door.

“Suffer retribution?”

Lu Wei climbed out of the field and glared at the door. She smiled coldly and said, “It's still unknown who will suffer retribution. Let's wait and see!”

However, when she reached her house, she heard her mother's heart-wrenching cries.

Lu Wei's heart jumped heavily. She quickly ran back into the room and saw Lu Chuan lying on the bed, on his last breath.

Mdm Zheng wept at the side while Lu Daming stood at the side and spoke to Doctor Li from the village.

“Sigh, this person is fine, but his leg… is probably crippled.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wei hurried forward to ask for the details.

“Father, what happened to Brother?”

“I don't know where he went last night, but he was found lying in a pit by the road today. He said that his leg was broken.”

Lu Daming only had this one son. Now that his son had become like this, he did not have the mood to freeload from Lu Sheng anymore.

“You should send him to town earlier. My medical skills are shallow, so I really have no choice.”

After speaking, Doctor Li carried his bag and left.

“Quick, get the money. We have to send him to town quickly.”

After speaking to Mdm Zheng, Lu Daming hurriedly carried Lu Chuan and prepared to wait for the carriage at the entrance of the village.

When Mdm Zheng heard that, she wiped her tears and hurried back to her room to get the money.

Lu Wei followed Mdm Zheng in. When she saw Mdm Zheng taking out a few dozen taels, she was shocked.

“Mother, aren't they for my dowry?”

Mdm Zheng had always felt that her daughter would not marry an ordinary person, so she saved a few dozen taels of dowry for Lu Wei.

Lu Wei had always known about this.

Now that she had taken them all out, her heart could not help but sink.

“Why are you still caring about the dowry at this time?”

Mdm Zheng sobbed and said, “If you were more promising and could marry into a good family, you wouldn't have waited until now.”

Then, she ignored Lu Wei and went out to meet Lu Daming with the money.

Lu Wei stomped her feet angrily but did not follow them.

Mdm Zheng and Lu Daming went to town to get a doctor to take a look. The doctor said that he could be cured, but the medical fees were probably not low.

It was said that they would need at least one hundred taels of silver. The two of them only had seventy taels of silver. They were still short of thirty taels of silver.

“Stay here with Ah Chuan first. I'll go back to the village and think of a way.”

After all, he was their only descendant. He had to treat him no matter what.

“Okay!”

After Lu Daming placed him in the medical hall, he hurried back to the village.

He went to find a few families, but almost everyone said that they did not have money. Some people only gave him a few coins to dismiss him.

When he passed by Lu Sheng's house, he could not care less and walked in to find Lu Ran.

However, Lu Ran did not pity him.

“How dare Uncle borrow money from me?”

Lu Ran smiled coldly. “Back then, when my mother was sick, my family personally went to your house to borrow money. You clearly had money, but you were unwilling to lend them. You even kicked us out. How do you have the face to come over and borrow money now?”

Lu Daming frowned. “Lu Ran, that's already in the past. We're talking about now. Give me a hundred taels quickly.”

“I won't give it to you. Think of another way yourself.”

Lu Ran turned around and continued entertaining the guests.

Lu Daming was so angry that he wanted to flip the table. However, a hand was pressing him down, preventing him from moving.

He looked up angrily and saw Lu Sheng glaring at him coldly.

“Uncle, you seem to have forgotten what I said.”

Her gaze was very cold, and her tone was even colder.

When he thought of the scene when he was beaten back then, Lu Daming trembled in fear.

“Niece, your cousin fell into a pit and is still waiting in the medical hall. I believe you won't leave him in the lurch, right?”

Lu Daming was only a year younger than Lu Dahua. Moreover, he married earlier than Lu Dahua. Hence, Lu Chuan was older than Lu Ran and Lu Wei was also older than Lu Sheng by a few months.

“What a joke. I didn't push him in. Why should I save him? If you don't leave, I'll make you his companion. I won't compensate you with a single cent. Do you believe me?”

When she said this, she stared coldly at Lu Daming. Her lips remained curved into a cold smile.

“I… I'll leave now!”

When he saw Chu Sihan and Lu Zhou walking over from the corner of his eye, Lu Daming hurriedly turned around and left.
