Chapter 173: Even If I Die, I Won’t Let You Off

“Thus, they did not deliberately abandon me. Instead, they were forced to do so?”
Chu Sihan asked Lu Zhou expressionlessly.
Lu Zhou nodded. “You can say that.”
“Then, was what the State Minister said true as well?”
Lu Zhou fell silent.
After a long while, he said calmly, “Actually, there’s another solution.”
Chu Sihan sat upright with a mocking smile on his lips. “I don’t want to know about other methods. I just want to ask if what the State Minister said was true?”
Lu Zhou said calmly, “You’re already twenty years old. The conflict with your mother’s fate has been resolved. If you want, you can go back to Snowfall Villa.”
Knowing that he was changing the topic, Chu Sihan was puzzled.
“Could it be that the Third Prince is reluctant to part with his disciple?”
He didn’t think that Lu Zhou would have any other feelings for Lu Sheng because he could tell from the look of doting in his eyes that Lu Zhou didn’t have any other thoughts.
It seemed more like a father looking at his daughter.
Lu Sheng treated Lu Zhou the same way. Other than respect, there was only the reliance between family.
Moreover, from what Lu Sheng said just now, Chu Sihan could conclude that they had known each other for more than a few years.
Lu Zhou didn’t look too good.
This kid was asking the obvious.
He had spent so much money raising this girl. Although it was only a soul, he could not give it away just like that!
Chu Sihan said solemnly, “Rest assured, Third Prince. Leave Sheng Sheng to me. I will not let her suffer any grievances.”
“With her personality, how could she bear to let others suffer for her?”
Lu Zhou said disdainfully, “Besides, all scumbags swear like that.”
“Scumbags?” Chu Sihan was confused.
Lu Zhou thought about it and replied, “Heartless people who love to play with women’s feelings.”
Chu Sihan was speechless.
“Third Prince, I have lived for twenty years and have always been a clean and pure person. I have never promised any woman anything, and I won’t play with her feelings.”
Seeing that he was so anxious that he was about to raise his hand and swear, Lu Zhou recalled the King of Hade’s words. He sighed and said, “Forget it. I’m not going to care about you youngsters. As long as she’s willing, she can do whatever she wants.”
“However, if you dare to betray my disciple, even if you die, I will definitely not let you off.”
At that time, even the King of Hades himself wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Chu Sihan smiled. “Rest assured, Third Prince. I will not disappoint you!”
“What made you so happy?”
Lu Sheng walked over with wine in hand and asked with a smile.
Lu Zhou said calmly, “Nothing much. It’s just that the price of pork in Huang Yang Town has been quite expensive recently. I’ve discussed with Lord Chu on how to lower the price and get some benefits for the people.”
“It should be lowered.”
Lu Sheng placed the wine pot on the table and nodded in agreement. “You might not know, but pork belly costs eighteen copper coins a catty. If you buy it at the village entrance of our Liu Yue Village, it will only cost fifteen to sixteen copper coins a catty. It’s much cheaper than in town.”
Chu Sihan looked down and smiled silently.
Lu Zhou took out a wine gourd and poured all the warm wine into it. Then, he stood up and asked, “Disciple, have you taken care of your mansion?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “It’s all packed, but I haven’t stayed there yet. Pick a suitable courtyard for yourself. I’ll keep it for you when the time comes.”
Although the courtyard that Deng Rumeng gave her was not as big as the Chu Mansion, it was not small either. The Lu family’s courtyard was still empty.
“Alright, then I’ll go back and rest first. After rushing for so long, I’m a little tired. You guys take your time to chat.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he left with the wine gourd in hand.
