Chapter 415: Sorry For the Wait
Although Tao Jia did not understand why Lu Sheng suddenly asked this, he told her the truth.
However, Yong Fu Town was almost a thousand miles away. He did not think Lu Sheng would be able to help those villagers.
When they were less than a hundred meters away from the house, she suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling behind her.
The duo turned their heads at the same time. Not far away, a carriage was slowly moving towards them.
Even though they were quite far away, Lu Sheng could tell at first glance that the coachman was Chu Yun under the dim light.
She raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Seeing her expression, Tao Jia smiled and asked, “Could it be that your uncle came to fetch you?”
“No.”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “However, they should be here to fetch me.”
“Is it your sweetheart?”
Tao Jia rarely came back, so he only knew a little about the Lu family.
His parents were not talkative and rarely mentioned the village matters to him in private.
Hence, Tao Jia thought that Lu Sheng’s sweetheart was still Duan Zhen.
“Sweetheart?”
Lu Sheng was stunned. Then, she smiled and said, “He could be considered my fiancé.”
Just as she finished speaking, the carriage stopped right in front of her.
“Miss Lu.”
Chu Yun shouted.
Tao Jia looked over curiously.
The curtain moved slightly and was immediately lifted by a well-defined fair hand. An extraordinary-looking man stuck his head out.
The man stared at Lu Sheng and smiled gently. “Sorry for the wait.”
“It hasn’t been long!”
Lu Sheng walked closer to the carriage and asked with a smile, “Why are you here to fetch me?”
“I went to the Lu Mansion and happened to see Uncle riding out. I asked him and found out that he was coming over to fetch you.”
As Chu Sihan spoke, he glanced at Tao Jia and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
However, he asked suspiciously, “This is…?”
“Oh, this is Uncle Li Zheng’s son. He’s also my brother’s good friend, Tao Jia.”
Lu Sheng turned to the confused Tao Jia and smiled. “Brother Tao, this is Lord Chu.”
“Lord Chu?”
Tao Jia was stunned and hurriedly asked, “The magistrate of Lin Jiang Mansion?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes!”
“So it’s Lord Chu!” Tao Jia hurriedly bowed and said, “Tao Jia didn’t know that Young Master was actually Lord Chu. I’ve committed a sin!”
“It’s alright.”
Chu Sihan was already very unhappy that he was standing beside Lu Sheng. Upon hearing Lu Sheng call him ‘Brother Tao,’ Chu Sihan became even more depressed.
He had known this girl for so long, but he had never seen her call him Brother Chu.
No, he must make her call him Brother Chu in the future!
“Lu Sheng, you and the Lord…”
Tao Jia was shocked. He did not understand how Lu Sheng was related to Chu Sihan.
Wasn’t her fiancé Duan Zhen? How did he become Chu Sihan?
Hence, she did not ask about the whereabouts of that small village unintentionally just now. She really had the ability to help?
Yong Fu Town was also under the jurisdiction of Lin Jiang Mansion. If Lu Sheng mentioned this to Chu Sihan, would the refugees in Wen Shan Village be saved?
“Brother Tao, I’ll go back first.”
“Oh, sure!”
Tao Jia, who was jolted back to reality by Lu Sheng’s voice, hurriedly nodded.
After Lu Sheng left in the carriage, he hurried back to the Tao family and told his father about his encounter with Chu Sihan.
He thought his father would be surprised, but his father said calmly, “Lord Chu came to fetch Lu Sheng? We don’t have to worry then.”
Tao Jia was speechless.
Didn’t his father mention Chu Sihan’s deeds to him in the past?
Why was he so calm when he heard that he met Chu Sihan today?
Moreover, from his tone, it seemed like it was normal for Chu Sihan to appear in Liu Yue Village?
