<h4>Chapter 78: Lu Chuan</h4>


    Half a monthter, at Liu Yue Vige.


    “Second Sister!”


    Lu Sheng had just entered the courtyard on a horse carriage when Lu Jiang ran towards her happily on his short legs.


    “Where’s Xinxin?”


    Lu Sheng smiled and caught him.


    “Little Sister is ying with Yuan Zi at Aunt Yu’s ce. Second Sister, where have you been? Why did you take so long toe back?”


    As he spoke, his eyes reddened.


    “How can a man cry so easily?”


    Lu Sheng pinched his face lightly and asked with a smile, “Has Big Brother returned?”


    Lu Jiang nodded. “He’s back. He stayed for a few days to harvest the rice before returning to town.”


    “Really?”


    Lu Sheng took a look at the courtyard. It was a field of lush greenery, and there were even white flowers blooming on the tabasco peppers. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.


    Ignoring the items on the carriage, she ran to the backyard to see the pond. When she saw crayfish and river crabs crawling around, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    The lotus flowers that she ced in the pond grew well as well. There were also a lot of water nts in the pond.


    “Brother Liang and sister-inw woulde over every day to water the vegetables, fertilize them, and drain the pond.”


    Lu Jiang, who had followed them, squatted by the shore and exined in a childish voice.


    “Let’s go, we’ll treat Aunt Yu and the rest to good food tonight.”


    As Lu Sheng spoke, she pulled Lu Jiang and led him to the front courtyard.


    After unloading all the items on the carriage, Lu Jiang could not be bothered with the dazzled Lu Jiang anymore. She instructed Lu Jiang to keep the items safe before leaving the house.


    She bought pork belly, pork ribs, eggnts, and vegetables from a stall at the entrance of the vige. She also bought a chicken and two pieces of lotus roots, and was prepared to go home.


    However, she had just taken a few steps when she heard a few women’s whispers behind her.


    “I saw her driving a horse carriage just now. Could the horse carriage be a gift from a man?”


    “I think so. Otherwise, how would she have so much money?”


    “If Mdm He were to learn of this, she would probably die with grievances.”


    “What’s there to be proud of about exchanging your body for money?”


    Lu Sheng stopped in her tracks. She turned around expressionlessly and stared coldly at the women.


    The women seemed to have noticed this and they stopped talking.


    “Exchanged her body for it?”


    Lu Sheng smiled coldly. She ced the items in her hand aside and walked forward. She opened her sleeve and revealed her fair arms.


    The most eye-catching red dot made the women lower their heads in silence.


    “Don’t use your filthy thoughts to judge others. Don’t think that everyone is as bad as you make them out to be.”


    She nced coldly at the women before leaving with her items.


    It was one thing for her to not hear certain things, but for them to say them in front of her, she could not just stand there and watch them create rumors.


    “Second Sister, Brother Chuan is here. He wants to take away the cloth you brought back!”


    Lu Sheng had just reached the door when she saw an anxious Lu Jiang run out, panting.


    Lu Sheng’s gaze turned cold. Holding the items in one hand and Lu Jiang in the other, she entered the courtyard.


    “Oh, Ah Sheng is back?”


    Lu Chuan was holding the cloth that Lu Sheng bought for Lu Ran and some food that she bought for the two children. It seemed like he had taken what he wanted and was preparing to go out.


    He looked at the items in Lu Sheng’s hands and swallowed his saliva. “Are you preparing to cook rice for me?”


    Lu Sheng’s affair with a rich man had spread like wildfire in the vige. Hence, Lu Chuan was not surprised to see her buying so many ingredients.


    He even looked like he wanted to stay and leave only after a meal.
