Chapter 153: My Father’s Surname is Lu, and He Lives in the Capital
Ah Tai let Lu Sheng sit first while he cleaned up the dishes that Mdm Sun had knocked over.
Da Zhuang and Mdm Sun only returned after fifteen minutes.
Once they were back, Dazhuang went into his room to pack his things.
“Who are you?”
Mdm Sun frowned and asked Lu Sheng. However, she kept glancing at the horse carriage in the courtyard.
“She’s my sister.”
The quiet Ah Tai suddenly stood in front of Lu Sheng and spoke faintly.
Lu Sheng looked at him in surprise and smiled without saying anything.
“Sister?”
Mdm Sun did not believe him. “Your mother only gave birth to you, a bastard child. Where did your sister come from?”
Ah Tai’s mother, Mdm Guo, did not have a maternal family. The Qian family only had Da Zhuang and the dead Da Niu. Where did Ah Tai get his sister from?
Ah Tai explained, “Her father is my father’s good friend.”
That was what Lu Sheng said. As to whether it was true or not, it had nothing to do with him.
“Ah Tai, Miss, let’s go.”
Da Zhuang walked out with his bag and said to the two of them.
Ah Tai hurried back to get his things, then ran back.
Mdm Sun looked at Da Zhuang and smiled coldly. All these years, she had kept all the money Da Zhuang earned. He could be said to be penniless now.
Now that he was going to bring along Ah Tai, she believed that he would return soon.
Lu Sheng stood up and ignored Mdm Sun. Instead, she said to Ah Tai, “My father told me to bring you some money.”
As she spoke, she untied the pouch and stuffed it into Ah Tai’s hands.
“Why... Why are you giving him money for no reason?” Dazhuang frowned.
Mdm Sun craned her neck to look at the pouch. It was flat and probably did not have a lot of money.
Lu Sheng explained calmly, “My father said that his business used to suffer losses. Later on, Uncle Da Niu lent him some money. His business is doing well now and he wants to repay the debt. It’s a pity that Uncle Da Niu is no longer around, so he told me to give this money to Ah Tai.”
She did not know why her master suddenly wanted to give Ah Tai three hundred taels. He did not tell her the reason either.
She could only make things up. Was it easy for her?
As a child, Ah Tai held the light pouch and felt curious.
Hence, he untied the pouch while the two were speaking.
When he saw the banknotes, his mouth opened.
“Three... Three hundred taels?”
“What?” Da Zhuang was shocked. “Three hundred taels?”
When Mdm Sun heard that, she suddenly looked over.
After seeing the banknotes, Da Zhuang looked at Lu Sheng in shock.
“Isn’t this... too much?”
Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Not much. My father has a lot of money.”
Anyway, her master was not short of money now. No, he was not short of money in his previous life either.
However, he was more generous in this lifetime than in his previous life.
“Three hundred taels?!”
It was only then that Mdm Sun regained her senses and looked at Lu Sheng in shock.
“Let’s go back to Hua Xiang Village.”
Da Zhuang’s face darkened. He told Ah Tai to keep the banknotes well before preparing to leave.
“Our children’s father, I was too careless and impulsive today. Ah Tai hasn’t eaten yet. Let’s bring him to eat quickly.”
Three hundred taels!
She had never seen so much money in her life!
Mdm Sun’s face changed so quickly that Lu Sheng admired her immensely.
Da Zhuang sneered when he saw her fake expression. He pulled Ah Tai and said to Lu Sheng, “Miss, let’s talk on the way.”
Lu Sheng nodded. She glanced at Mdm Sun, sneered, and hurried to get the carriage.
Mdm Sun wanted to say something but Da Zhuang and Ah Tai had already boarded the carriage. She could hear the sounds of horse hooves, and there was only a moving carriage facing her.
“May I know your father’s surname and where he lives?”
On the way, Da Zhuang asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng answered easily, “My father’s surname is Lu. As he is doing business, he lives in the capital all year round and rarely comes back.”
After sending the uncle-nephew pair back to Hua Xiang Village, she made an excuse and left.
