Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild - Chapter 547

Chapter 547: The Chu Family in the Capital

“Let me see your arm.”

Lu Zhou turned around and spoke faintly.

Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng. Seeing her nod, he rolled up his sleeve and pointed at the spot on his elbow.

Lu Zhou held his hand. Chu Yan felt a warmth pass from Lu Zhou’s hand to his.

Chu Yan’s pupils trembled slightly. Then, a sharp pain suddenly appeared at the spot where the old man held him.

His hand trembled and a red light emitted. A strange black Chinese Bellflowers pattern suddenly appeared.

“What’s this?” Chu Yan stared at the pattern in shock.

“Tsk—”

Lu Zhou clicked his tongue. “I thought it was some big shot. So it’s just some petty tricks.”

Lu Zhou’s palm slid across the black bellflowers and it instantly turned into black smoke before dissipating into the air.

Lu Sheng frowned. “This is evil aura?”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Someone must have targeted this kid. However, they probably don’t know his real identity. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.”

As Chu Yan was not an ordinary person, he had only caught a cold for two days.

“Ah Yan, did you offend someone?” Lu Sheng asked.

Chu Yan shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

Shangguan Dian said, “Sometimes, when someone wants to kill you, it’s not because you’ve offended them. It’s also possible that there’s a conflict of interest.”

“Conflict of interest?”

When Chu Yan heard that, he immediately fell into deep thought.

If it was about benefits, their Chu family had already offended many people.

Of course, other than the others, there was a high possibility that they were from the same family.

His uncle was a good person, but he had a wife and son who didn’t know their places.

Chu Lin was only a month younger than him, but he had a lot of thoughts. He was afraid that Grandpa would give him all the assets of the Chu family and not him.

Of course, Chu Yan did not know if Jiang Yan and Chu Lin were the ones who took action. After all, there was no evidence.

“It seems like you already have a suspect in mind.”

Lu Zhou looked at him through the rearview mirror and smiled.

Chu Yan said in a low voice, “It’s just a guess. There’s no evidence.”

Halfway through the journey, Chu Yan’s phone rang.

It was Chu Hongzhong.

As Chu Yan was wearing his earpiece, Lu Sheng did not hear what Chu Hongzhong said clearly.

However, it was not difficult to tell from Chu Yan’s expression that the matter was quite serious.

After hanging up, Chu Yan suddenly pursed his lips.

“Are you alright?” Lu Sheng asked softly.

Chu Yan said in a low voice, “I don’t know what happened to my grandfather, but he suddenly convulsed. Now, he’s still in the hospital. My parents have gone to the capital to see my grandfather and told me to buy the plane tickets for tonight.”

“Tonight?”

Lu Sheng was stunned. “Then… we’ll go to the airport now? Or book a plane ticket now?”

“I’ll book it on my phone.”

Chu Yan unlocked his phone and decided to book a flight on WeChat.

Lu Sheng thought for a while and said softly, “Help me order one too. I’ll accompany you.”

Chu Yan turned to look at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I haven’t been back to the capital for a long time. I’ll go back and take a look.”

She had previously stayed in the capital with Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian for a period of time.

However, they were afraid that people would discover their secret of immortality if they stayed too long, so they moved to City H from the capital.

“But…”

Chu Yan glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly and heard him say with a faint smile, “Let her accompany you. Perhaps she can help.”

Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words, Chu Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He got Lu Sheng to send him her identity card number and booked two tickets for seven in the evening.

It was only five now. If there was no traffic from here to the airport, it would only take half an hour. There was still plenty of time.

When Shangguan Dian sent the two of them to the airport, it was six in the evening.

Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian sent the two of them to the airport. They only left after they had successfully boarded the plane.

When the two of them reached the capital, it was already fifty minutes past eight.

Chu Yan had already called Fu Ting before boarding the plane, so the driver was already waiting at the entrance of the airport.

Neither of them had a luggage and only carried a backpack.

The driver was from the Chu family in the capital, so he did not know Lu Sheng.

Hence, he was more or less surprised to see Chu Yan bring a girl back.

“Young Master, should we return to the Chu family first or go to the hospital?”

After the duo boarded the car, the driver asked.

Chu Yan glanced at the time and said lightly, “Go straight to the hospital.”

“Yes!”

After agreeing, the driver drove the two of them to the hospital where Chu Tian was staying.

When they arrived, only Old Madam Chu and Chu Hongzhong were left in the ward.

“Yan Er is back?”

Seeing someone push open the door, the Old Madam was the first to look over. When she saw Chu Yan, a hint of a smile appeared on her tired face.

However, when she saw Lu Sheng enter behind Chu Yan, she was stunned.

“Father, Grandma, how’s Grandpa?”

Chu Yan asked softly.

“Lu Sheng is here too?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Hello, Uncle!”

Chu Hongzhong smiled at Lu Sheng before replying Chu Yan, “He’s already out of danger.”

Chu Yan glanced at the old man on the bed and frowned. “What happened?”

“It’s said he had food poisoning.” The Old Madam sighed softly. “This old man is already so old, but he still likes to eat indiscriminately. How outrageous.”

After speaking, the Old Madam’s gaze landed on Lu Sheng again. “Is this girl from the Fu family?”

Other than the girls from the Fu family, Chu Yan rarely interacted with unfamiliar girls.

“Hello, Grandma Chu! My name is Lu Sheng, and I’m Ah Yan’s friend.”

“Oh, so you’re friends!” Surprise flashed across the Old Madam’s eyes.

Chu Yan went forward to look at Chu Tian. Seeing that he was indeed fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at Chu Hongzhong and asked, “Father, why didn’t I see Mother, Uncle, and Aunt?”

Chu Hongzhong said, “Your uncle and aunt have something on and went back first. Your mother isn’t feeling well and went back to rest too. She’ll come over tomorrow morning.”

Old Madam Chu said, “Yan Er, you and the girl just landed. You must be tired, right? Go back and wash up first. Rest after dinner. Come over with your mother tomorrow morning.”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I’m not tired.”

Indeed, she did not feel tired. However, Chu Yan looked a little tired.

After all, before he woke up, he was only an ordinary mortal.

“Father, Grandma, we’ll go back to the Chu family first and come over later.”

It did not matter if Chu Yan was tired or not. It was mainly because Lu Sheng was around. He could not let her be too tired.

Chu Hongzhong nodded and said to Old Madam Chu, “Mother, you should go back with them too. Father probably won’t wake up so soon. Hongqing will come over and guard with me later.”

“But what if the old man wakes up later?” The Old Madam smiled and said, “It’s not like you don’t know your father’s temper. If he wakes up and finds out that I’m not here, who knows how long the commotion will last?”

When Chu Yan heard that, he whispered into Lu Sheng’s ear and explained.

It turned out that as long as one of the elders was sick, the other person had to accompany them. Otherwise, they would not go to the hospital.

How cute!

“Forget it.”

Chu Hongzhong looked helpless and said to Chu Yan and Lu Sheng, “You guys go back first.”

Chu Yan nodded. Lu Sheng waved at the two of them. “Uncle Chu, Grandma Chu, goodbye!”

Chu Hongzhong nodded slightly. Old Madam Chu chuckled and nodded. “Goodbye!”

After the two of them left the ward, they took the elevator downstairs and returned to the Chu family in the driver’s car.

The Chu family’s mansion in the capital was very big and had a European architectural style. However, Lu Sheng had no concept of these.

Before alighting, the driver specially glanced at Lu Sheng, seemingly wanting to see her reaction after seeing the Chu family.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng only yawned. Other than that, she was expressionless.

When the duo alighted and entered the house, the driver frowned in confusion.

To the driver, people from City H were no different from villagers entering the city.

However, Lu Sheng’s calmness surprised him. It was as if this luxurious building was nothing to her.

Lu Sheng could not be bothered to guess what the driver was thinking. She only followed Chu Yan silently into the house.

“Brother!”

The two of them had just entered when a slender figure pounced at Chu Yan.

Lu Sheng subconsciously moved to the side. Then, she focused and realized that this child looked very similar to Chu Siyun in her previous life.

“My brother, Chu Jiang.”

Chu Yan rubbed Chu Jiang’s head and introduced him to Lu Sheng.

“Hello, Sister!”

Chu Jiang’s eyes curved and he greeted Lu Sheng sweetly.

Lu Sheng nodded in a daze. “Hello!”

“Young Master is back!”

A skinny middle-aged man walked over. He first smiled and spoke to Chu Yan before looking suspiciously at Lu Sheng. “This is…”

“My friend.” Chu Yan replied faintly and asked, “Butler Hong, where’s my mother?”

“Oh, Mdm should be upstairs.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly. “Go ahead and busy yourself. Don’t worry about us.”

“Yes!”

When Chu Yan dragged Chu Jiang, who was still clinging onto him, past Butler Hong, Butler Hong’s eyes flashed.

Lu Sheng turned to look at Butler Hong, her eyes scrutinizing him.

If she was not wrong, Butler Hong looked at the two brothers coldly.

“Oh, Cousin is back?”

Lu Sheng looked over and saw a man who resembled Chu Silin walking over with a cup of water.

Chu Yan snorted and carried the clingy Chu Jiang to the sofa.

Although Chu Jiang was only six years old, Lu Sheng could tell at a glance that he was the Chu Siyun of her previous life.

She looked up at Chu Lin and could not help but curse in her heart.

Could it be that Chu Sihan could not bear to see Chu Silin in trouble and brought him over?

Hence, one could only say that regardless of whether it was a good or bad fate, it was destined long ago.

However, when she saw these familiar faces, Lu Sheng felt that they were quite good. At least, she could understand their characters.

Based on Chu Silin’s disdainful and disgusted expression when he saw Chu Yan, she knew that even though he had reincarnated, his personality remained the same.

“Oh!”

When he saw Lu Sheng, he was immediately surprised. “Cousin, your girlfriend?”

“Mind your own business.”

After Chu Yan gave him these words, he led Lu Sheng upstairs.

“Tsk~”

Chu Lin rolled his eyes at Chu Yan before his gaze landed on Chu Jiang.

“Hey, little brat. Who was that woman just now?”

“What has that got to do with you?”

Chu Jiang snorted coldly and made a face at him. Then, he ran upstairs.

“Butler Hong, come over.”

“Second Young Master, what can I do for you?”

Butler Hong walked over and spoke respectfully.

“Go and find out who that woman is.”

“Second Young Master, this is…”

Butler Hong thought that he had taken a liking to Lu Sheng. After all, Lu Sheng’s attractive face was there.

“You also know that our Chu family has a strict rule. Grandpa hates us to befriend random people.”

Chu Lin emphasized the words ‘random people.’

Butler Hong immediately understood. After agreeing, he went to investigate Lu Sheng’s background.

However, after investigating for half a day, he only knew that this girl’s name was Jiang Jing. She was a freshman from City H’s Yizhong. There was nothing else.

“That’s all?”

Chu Lin waited for half an hour. When he saw the message from Butler Hong, he could not help but frown.

“Second Young Master, I think this girl is a bit strange.”

Butler Hong glanced upstairs and lowered his voice. “Other than these, we can’t find out anything about her family background. It’s as if she doesn’t exist.”

“Doesn’t exist?” Chu Lin’s eyes widened. “She’s right there. How can we not find anything? Continue investigating.”

“Yes!”

After agreeing, Butler Hong continued to call the people in City H to continue investigating.

At this moment, upstairs.

Chu Yan gave his room to Lu Sheng while he went to Chu Jiang’s room to wash up.

When Lu Sheng came out of the shower, it was already ten at night.

Thankfully, she usually had the habit of placing clothes in the Space Bracelet, so she was not worried about not having any clothes to change into.

Although Chu Yan had not returned to his house in the capital for a long time, his room should be cleaned every day.

Hence, it did not look like someone had stayed there for a long time.

She lay on the bed and took a nap. In her daze, she heard a knocking sound.

She opened her eyes slightly and climbed up from the bed. When she opened the door, she saw Chu Yan standing outside.

“Tired?” Chu Yan’s eyes were filled with self-reproach.

“I’m alright. I’m just a little tired.”

Lu Sheng turned sideways and intended to let him in.

Chu Yan shook his head and said, “I’m not going in. Rest first. I want to return to the hospital.”

He came over to inform Lu Sheng.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she became much more awake. “I’ll accompany you.”

“But didn’t you say that you were tired?” Chu Yan glanced at the corridor and said softly, “Moreover, it’s so cold outside.”

“It’s alright. Wait for me.”

Lu Sheng returned to her room to get a coat and carry her bag before returning to the door.

This was not her house. Without Chu Yan around, she felt a little uncomfortable staying here.

Chu Yan must have thought of this and came over to knock on the door.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to ask her if she wanted to stay and rest or accompany him back to the hospital.

Chu Yan nodded. “Let’s go then.”

When the two of them went downstairs, Lu Sheng asked in a low voice, “Has Aunt fallen asleep?”

“She’s already asleep.”

Chu Yan took off the checkered scarf from his neck and tied it around Lu Sheng’s neck.

When Lu Sheng was stunned, he said in a low voice, “This way, it won’t be very cold.”
