Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 409: The Sound From the Back of the Mountain of Chen Village

“Could it be that there are ghosts in the mountain?”

As soon as Mdm Chen finished speaking, a cold breeze blew past. The few of them could not help but shiver in fear.

“No, no way?!”

Chen Xiaofang said fearfully, “I think someone is doing something at the back of the mountain.”

“I heard it by chance too.”

Chen Xiaofang’s husband looked at Lu Sheng. “Miss, there’s someone emitting light at the back of the mountain in our village. There’s usually no light at all. Recently, Mother has been hearing two types of voices frequently too.”

“At first, I thought I heard wrong. However, it happened for a few days consecutively. It was so late at night, and I didn’t dare to get too close. I could only faintly see a fire on the mountain.”

“Why didn’t I hear that?” Mdm Wu frowned.

“It hasn’t snowed recently, so I secretly set up a few traps at the foot of the mountain. I wanted to get two pheasants to nourish Xiaofang’s body, so I went to take a look in the middle of the night. That’s why I happened to hear them.”

After hearing Chen Xiaofang’s husband’s words, Lu Sheng suddenly fell into deep thought.

“Miss, is my son possessed?”

After seeing her granddaughter’s recovery, Mdm Wu finally acknowledged Lu Sheng’s capabilities.

After hearing her son’s words, she was suddenly worried that her son had bumped into something unclean.

“Not necessarily.”

Lu Sheng sized up Chen Xiaofang’s husband and said lightly, “Moreover, there’s no evil aura on him.”

Those who encountered something unclean would have some evil aura around them.

“That’s good!”

Mdm Wu heaved a sigh of relief.

“Could it be that someone happened to pass by?”

Mdm Chen spoke hesitantly.

There was an old road at the back of Chen Village. Merchants from Huang Yang Town used to pass by there often.

However, because another road was built later, no one walked on that road anymore. As time passed, vines and grass grew and it became abandoned.

“Impossible!”

Chen Xiaofang’s husband shook his head slightly. “It would have been alright if someone happened to pass by. However, after two consecutive days, that voice remained. Moreover, it only started at midnight.”

Back then, he would still go and listen. However, when he occasionally heard the sounds of weapons, he did not dare to go closer.

“I understand.”

Lu Sheng looked at him and said, “I’ll let Magistrate Fu know. Don’t mention this to anyone else.”

She suspected that what Chen Xiaofang’s husband said was very likely related to the Crown Prince’s sudden visit to Huang Yang Town.

“Magistrate Fu?”

Chen Xiaofang and the rest were stunned.

Mdm Chen hurriedly explained, “Lu Sheng opened a restaurant in town. Magistrate Fu likes their food very much and often goes there to eat. After a while, they got to know each other.”

Almost everyone in the Liang family knew who Lu Sheng knew.

At the beginning, they were also very shocked. However, as time passed, they became accustomed to it.

“I see!”

After hearing Mdm Chen’s words, Mdm Wu and the rest looked at Lu Sheng with more admiration.

For small villagers like them, they would find it amazing even if someone became good friends with Li Zheng in the village, let alone the Lord.

Lu Sheng looked at Aunt Yu and Mdm Chen. “Aunt Yu, sister-in-law, I still have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”

Mdm Chen suggested, “Your Brother Liang should be back soon. Why don’t you sit for a while? Coincidentally, Xiaofang brought two chickens over. You can go back after dinner when your Brother Liang comes back to kill the chickens.”

Chen Xiaofang hurried to persuade her. “Yes, Miss. You’ve helped us so much. We haven’t thanked you yet.”

“No need!”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “This is an important matter. I can’t decline.”

When they heard that, they could only give up.

“Remember, don’t mention this to anyone again.”

Before leaving, Lu Sheng reminded Chen Xiaofang’s husband.
