Chapter 302 - That Was It
Chapter 302: That Was It
Prime Minister Fu coughed lightly and looked around. Then, he realized belatedly that it was unknown when the State Minister and Ye Luo had left.
His expression softened.
As the saying goes, one should not air one’s dirty linen in public. Furthermore, he was the Prime Minister.
If news of this were to spread, how would he face the officials?
“Since you’ve said your piece, I’ll think carefully.”
After Chu Sihan finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Prime Minister Fu sat for a while, sighed faintly, then stood up to leave.
After sending Prime Minister Fu off, Lu Sheng opened the box that the Emperor had given her.
There were two golden ingots lying inside. Lu Sheng was a bit confused when she saw them.
“How much is this worth?”
She really did not have any concept of this ingot.
“A hundred taels,” Chu Sihan said.
“A hundred taels?”
Lu Sheng pouted. “He’s not even as rich as Dali Temple.”
This old man was too stingy. To think that she was full of anticipation.
Could it be that he felt that she had never seen so much money since she came from the countryside?
Forget it. It was better than nothing.
After keeping the ingots, she looked at Chu Sihan and asked, “Lord, when are we returning to Lin Jiang Mansion?”
She missed home a little. She did not know how Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were doing or how her small restaurant was doing.
As for Lu Ran, he should be able to take good care of himself since he was an adult.
Most importantly, it was going to be the new year soon.
This was her first year in this world. She had to be with her family.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “You’re not waiting for Uncle-Master Lu to return before going to the Prince’s mansion to shop?”
“I’m not waiting anymore!”
Lu Sheng shook her head slightly. “I want to return to Huang Yang Town. When Master comes back, he will definitely go to Huang Yang Town to find me. After all, it’s going to be the new year soon. Master will spend the new year with me every year.”
She came to the capital for that one hundred thousand taels.
Now that she received the money and even earned an additional hundred taels, it was enough.
“Okay, we’ll set off tomorrow.”
He could tell that the young lady did not like the capital.
“Prime Minister Fu left?”
Ye Luo walked in. When he saw that only the two of them were left in the room, he raised his eyebrows and asked.
“He left a long time ago.”
Seeing that he was the only one who entered, Lu Sheng asked suspiciously, “Why didn’t I see the State Minister?”
“Oh, Senior Brother went to Xiahou Mansion.”
“Xiahou Mansion?”
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Alone?”
Ye Luo bent down and took a snack from the table. “I wanted to go with him initially, but he rejected me because he was afraid that I would be in the way.”
“Lord, lunch is ready.”
Chu Yun walked back from the kitchen with a few snowflakes on his hair.
“Bring it up quickly.”
Ye Luo sat on the cushion and chuckled. “I didn’t eat anything yesterday, so I’m craving food now.”
Chu Sihan glanced at him and nodded at Chu Yun.
“I’ll go and help.”
Lu Sheng stood up and left with Chu Yun.
“Lu Sheng has a good personality. No wonder Peak Master Lu would choose a mortal like her as his disciple.”
Ye Luo sighed softly.
Chu Sihan smiled faintly and did not explain.
Lu Zhou had always been lazy. How could he easily take her in as his disciple?
If Lu Sheng was not his biological daughter, he would not even take a glance at her, no matter how good her personality was.
In the end, all of this was attributed to fate.
After lunch, the Fu Mansion suddenly sent a letter saying that Prime Minister Fu invited them to his mansion tonight.
Chu Sihan thought that he should inform his grandmother that he was returning to Lin Jiang Mansion tomorrow morning, so he agreed.
