Chapter 87: Where’s The Sister?
Lu Ran’s expression was very stern. Even Lu Sheng felt a little uneasy looking at him.
No wonder Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were afraid of him.
“I went to the Lin Jiang Mansion this ti because I was entrusted with the task of transporting so items. I received gifts in return.”
Lu Sheng made up a partially true story. “Those are the items on your hand, the carriage, a shop, and a courtyard.”
“What were they transporting?”
Lu Ran did not seem convinced.
She was just a weak girl. Who would ask her to transprot items? It was not like there wasn’t an escort agency.
“Brother, did you know? Young Master Chu is indeed Magistrate Chu. I helped him to transport the items.”
“You’re saying that Young Master Chu is the magistrate?”
Lu Ran was surprised.
No wonder the county magistrate was so respectful to him back then. So, he was Chu Sihan.
In other words, the person who wanted to marry his sister was that person?
He had seen the way Chu Sihan looked at Lu Sheng before. It was the way a man would look at an object he was interested in.
In that case, the ‘delivery’ was probably just an excuse. Sending things to Lu Sheng was probably Chu Sihan’s original intention.
“Of course. The shop and the courtyard were given to by soone else, for I have done a great deed for soone.”
The shop and courtyard were not gifted by Chu Sihan?
Lu Ran frowned. “Who’s that?”
“She has gone to a faraway place. You don’t know her, but don’t worry, Brother. I have the title deed. There will be no mistakes.”
“Let take a look.”
Her sister was illiterate, so she might even mistake two casual pieces of paper for a title deed.
Lu Sheng was not careless either. She turned around and pretended to find the deed in her sleeve. Actually, she was using her sleeve to conceal her action of taking the deed out.
Lu Ran received the docunt and scanned it from top to bottom. He was surprised to find that the deed was real and there was even the official seal of the governnt on it.
Moreover, the house and shop were in South City.
“Well... What did you help her with?”
Since she was so generous, it must not be a small favor.
“It could be considered as saving her life.” Lu Sheng explained seriously. “Their house was robbed by a thief and they were even locked up. I happened to pass by and saw them. Seeing that the thief was not around, I saved them.”
She spoke non-stop, her crystal clear eyes staring at him without blinking. She did not look like she was lying.
“Then would they want the deed back soday?”
After all, Lu Sheng’s na was not written on it.
“No. They have already left Huang Yang Town and will not return anymore.”
She was no longer around. How would she go back?
Of course, Lu Sheng did not dare to tell Lu Ran that.
“Then, rember to keep it well.”
When Lu Ran heard that, he was partially convinced.
After returning the deed to Lu Sheng, he added, “You’re not allowed to do such dangerous things again.”
Lu Sheng smiled. “Magistrate Chu was present then, so I wasn’t afraid.”
Initially, Lu Ran wanted to bring Lu Sheng and the rest shopping at East City. However, it was almost ti for class when she had finished explaining everything.
Lu Sheng did not want to disturb his class, so she only said that she would co again next ti.
After contemplating for a while, Mu Yan and Yu Yang decided to co and take a look because they were worried. However, they saw Lu Ran standing alone on the spot and watching a horse carriage leave.
“Brother Lu, where’s your sister?”
Mu Yan stepped forward and asked.
Lu Ran glanced at him and said plainly, “She left.”
“Left?”
Mu Yan looked regretful.
Along the way, he heard people discussing how beautiful that girl was. He wanted to see her beauty for himself, but was too late.
