Chapter 27: Is It Your Uncle?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Who told her that I was an old and corrupt official?
Chu Sihan had become the top student in his village at the age of twelve, in the province at fifteen, then in the nation at sixteen. He eventually entered the Han Lin college to become an imperial editor.
When he was eighteen, he saved the Emperor’s life during a hunting session. As a result, he was promoted to Fourth Grade Official and was appointed as the magistrate of Lin Jiang Mansion.
Back then, he had caused a huge commotion in Huang Yang Town and the entire Xuan Yue Country.
Moreover, his fame only grew in these two years for his impartial and fair handling of numerous cases.
How did I become a corrupt official when it came to her?
“Are you okay? Why is your expression so ugly?”
Lu Sheng suspiciously looked at him.
Wait, he said that his surname was Chu, and the person who I’m supposed to marry also has the surname Chu.
“Is the magistrate your uncle?”
Chu Sihan was speechless.
Now, he had become his own uncle.
“That’s not important.”
The important matter was…
“Are you the person from yesterday?”
“So what if I am? So what if I’m not?”
She ambiguously replied to him and quickly changed the topic. “Can I take these pastries away?”
She had tasted them earlier, and they were quite delicious. She thought Lu Jiang and Lu Xin would probably like them.
Moreover, it didn’t look like Chu Sihan enjoyed eating pastries.
Her master had said that all delicacies had their own souls, so people should not waste food.
“Yes.”
Right after Chu Sihan nodded, Lu Sheng took out a few pieces of cloth from nowhere and wrapped the plates of pastries.
After wrapping them up, she foolishly laughed at him and scratched her nose. “Do you have anything else to say?”
“No.”
Knowing that he wouldn’t get an answer out of her soon, Chu Sihan did not force her to stay.
Anyway, he would remain in Huang Yang Town for a long time. He had no shortage of time.
After he sent her downstairs, Chu Yun brought Lu Ran and the others over.
Lu Xin had already woken up by this time, and she followed Lu Ran, hugging a box of pastries.
Lu Jiang was also holding two boxes.
“Brother, why did you buy pastries for them? I already took some from the restaurant.”
When Lu Sheng spoke, she saw Lu Ran glance at Chu Yun with a weird expression.
“I didn’t buy them.”
He did not have a lot of spare money, and he still had a lot of mouths to feed. How would Lu Ran dare to indiscriminately spend money?
This stunned Lu Sheng. “You didn’t buy them?”
Who bought them?
Lu Jiang softly said. “Second Sister, Brother Chu bought them.”
“Brother Chu?”
Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Yun standing at the side. He was crossing his arms over his chest and arrogantly lifting his head.
He softly humphed and stood behind Chu Sihan.
Lu Sheng stuffed her pastries into Lu Ran’s hands and asked Chu Sihan with a smile, “Mr. Chu, do you know the magistrate?”
Chu Sihan looked at her and nodded.
“Then… Then can you do me a favor?”
Chu Sihan nodded again and attentively listened. “Speak.”
“Well, it’s about my stepmother.” She glanced at Lu Jiang and softly said, “Can you plead on her behalf and tell him to not sentence her to death?”
“Oh?” Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Why? She wants you dead. Don’t you want to take revenge?”
Lu Ran also frowned and looked at her with a confused expression.
A life for a life. Madam Liu had killed his mother and almost murdered his sister. So he couldn’t understand why she was still pleading on that b*tch’s behalf.
She lightly said, “For some people, it’s too merciful to let them die so easily.”
“Then what do you want to do?” Chu Sihan asked with a curious look.
“I want her to die from old age in the prison.”
Compared to immediate death, she felt that Madam Liu deserved to die in a torturous manner.
Plus…
With this method, she could at least give Lu Jiang and Lu Xin a peace of mind.
