<h4>Chapter 90: Miss Zhou</h4>


    “Second Sister, can we finish all these pastries?”


    Lu Jiang asked with bright eyes.


    “It’s not a lot. When we get back, you can give some to Little Yuan Zi and the rest of your friends.”


    A box of pastries cost twenty coins. Three taels could buy one hundred and fifty boxes.


    As Lu Sheng spoke, she held her siblings’ hands and walked out. However, when she reached the entrance, she saw the youth from before.


    Lin Jiang kept his fan and smiled at Lu Sheng. “Heroine, we meet again.”


    Lu Sheng’s smile disappeared. She decided to ignore him and walk past him.


    However, she had underestimated how thick-skinned Lin Jiang was.


    “Heroine, can you take me in as your disciple?”


    How could he let go of someone he had worked so hard to find?


    Lu Sheng frowned and said impatiently, “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m just a farm girl from Liu Yue Vige. I’m not the heroine you’re referring to.”


    “Really?” Lin Jiang suddenly doubted himself.


    Could it be that he really recognized the wrong person?


    Her voice was indeed a bit different. The heroine’s voice that day was lower and slightly hoarse, whereas this girl’s voice was clearer.


    Although she was wearing a set of washed-out clothes, her aura and slender figure was obviously the same as that heroine’s!


    Seemingly reading his thoughts, Lu Sheng nced at him and said faintly, “There are many simr people in this world. I still have some matters to attend to, so I shall not speak further with Young Master.”


    Then, she hurried away with the two children.


    Standing at the same spot, Lin Jiang scratched the back of his head and frowned.


    “Second Sister, who’s that brother?”


    Lu Jiang asked curiously after they boarded the carriage.


    Lu Xin giggled happily when she saw the pastries on the carriage.


    Lu Sheng smiled at her before answering Lu Jiang’s question. “Someone I don’t know.”


    “Oh!”


    “Sit tight. Let’s go to the market and see if the two grandmas have returned.”


    She had promised to fetch them, and she could not go back on her words.


    However, when they reached the market, the two elders were already gone.


    They must have left early after selling the eggs.


    Lu Sheng had no choice but to get out of the carriage to buy some rice and flour. She also bought some oil filter screens to refine the oil.


    She scanned her surroundings and bought a few pounds of fruits from the fruit stall.


    After cing the items on the carriage, they were about to leave when they saw a group of officials walk past the carriage, heading for the town gate.


    A few people who were crying followed the officials.


    Then, a group of spectators jogged towards the town gate.


    Lu Sheng suspiciously nced at the crowd before following them behind.


    She heard someone say, “It’s said that a girl from the Zhou family drowned in that lotuske outside town.”


    “Why did Miss Zhou go to the lotuske outside town for no reason?”


    Although the Zhou family was not on par with the Yu family and the Deng family, which had been destroyed, they were not too shabby either. They could not possibly be there to steal the lotus, right?


    Furthermore, the lotus were already old and it was difficult to process them. If Miss Zhou wanted to eat ready lotus, she could get her servants to buy them.


    “I don’t know. I’ll go and take a look.”


    “To die in someone else’s lotuske, the Zhou family has topensate theke owner, right?”


    Lu Sheng’s heart dropped. When she passed by that ce this morning, she did not feel any Yin energy.


    Given her capabilities, it was impossible for her to not know that someone had died there.


    Unless Miss Zhou did not die there, but was dumped there after she died.


    “Second Sister, I’m scared!”


    When they heard that someone had died there, the two children’s faces paled in fear.
