Chapter 167: Chu Sihan’s Background

However, the Empress Dowager stopped them.
It was unknown what the Empress Dowager said to the Emperor. Not too long later, the Emperor decreed that the Third Prince would be handed over to the Eldest Prince’s mother, Concubine Wan.
This was also the reason why the Eldest Prince had a better relationship with the Third Prince.
However, ever since the Third Prince turned fourteen, he left the palace and lived in his own residence.
From then on, he had distanced himself from the Eldest Prince.
During this period of time, the Crown Prince had tried to recruit him to his camp many times, but unfortunately, was rejected every time.
This was also why the Crown Prince had drugged him.
If he belonged to the First Prince’s faction and possessed such a huge fortune, wouldn’t it be easier for him to recruit soldiers and buy horses in the future?
Unfortunately, the Third Prince was lucky. Not only did he not die, but he had also become more mature and intelligent.
Mdm Chu nodded slightly at Lu Zhou and smiled lightly. “Third Prince, you really like to joke. Miss Lu is lively and steady, unlike ordinary girls who don’t know better. She definitely won’t make mistakes easily.”
“Besides, even if Miss Lu made a mistake, how can an outsider like me manage it?”
She could not afford to offend such a person.
However, she was unhappy with Lu Zhou’s protective tone, so she could only retaliate politely.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou only spoke calmly.
“I heard from the State Minister that this disciple of mine is destined to be with Lord Chu. If my disciple does not marry him, he will die at the age of thirty-one.”
“It seems that Mdm Chu is not very satisfied with my disciple. Furthermore, she does not dote on Lord Chu as much as the rumors say.”
Mdm Chu hurriedly looked at Chu Sihan, only to see him looking down with an indifferent expression. It was as if he didn’t care about Lu Zhou’s words at all.
She frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.
When her mother sent her a letter two months ago, she mentioned in the letter that the Third Prince was not a kind person.
Moreover, in recent days, the State Minister frequently went to look for him. This matter not only alarmed the Crown Prince’s faction, but also His Majesty.
However, other than the State Minister and the Third Prince, no one knew the reason.
“This hasn’t happened yet, right?”
Mdm Chu said with a faint smile, “Third Prince is talking about the future. Let’s talk about this in the future. At least for now, I have no right to interfere with Miss Lu’s right or wrong.”
Lu Zhou smiled and didn’t say anything else. Instead, he told everyone to eat.
After the meal, Mdm Chu and Matriarch Chu left.
Fu Xianyun also left with his wife and son because he had something to do at the magistrate court.
Instantly, only Chu Sihan and Lu Zhou were left at the table.
Lu Sheng passed the counter to Lu Ran for the time being and personally brewed a pot of tea for the two of them.
“Your mother is not very capable.”
Lu Zhou looked at the snow outside the window and spoke casually.
Chu Sihan smiled lightly and said, “I will protect my own people. Third Prince, you don’t have to worry.”
Lu Zhou smirked and whispered, “After all, she’s not your biological mother.”
Chu Sihan looked a little startled, then squinted at him.
Lu Zhou retracted his gaze and smiled at him. “Are you curious why I know about this?”
Chu Sihan did not speak, his gaze still fixed on him.
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, “Not only do I know that you’re not a son of the Chu family, but I also know who your biological father is, and…”
He paused and sneered. “Two months ago, I met him once.”
“You…”
Chu Sihan was about to speak when he saw Lu Sheng bringing tea over. He hurriedly stopped talking.
